Hess Corporation (NYSE: HES) today reported a net loss of $2,433
million, or $8.00 per common share, in the first quarter of 2020,
including impairment and other after-tax charges of $2,251 million
resulting from the low price environment, compared with net income
of $32 million, or $0.09 per common share, in the first quarter of
2019. On an adjusted basis, the Corporation reported a net loss of
$182 million, or $0.60 per common share, in the first quarter of
2020. The decrease in after-tax adjusted results compared with the
prior-year period primarily reflects lower realized selling prices,
partially offset by higher production volumes.
“Our priorities in this low price
environment are to preserve cash, preserve capability and preserve
the long term value of our assets,” CEO John Hess said. “Our
company is in a strong position to manage through this market
downturn and to prosper when oil prices recover – with our low cost
of supply and high return investments that will drive material cash
flow growth and increasing financial returns.”
After-tax income (loss) by major
operating activity was as follows:

Hess Response to Global Pandemic and Market
Conditions:
The coronavirus (COVID-19)
pandemic continues to have a profound impact on society and
industry. The Corporation’s first priority in the midst of the
pandemic has been the health and safety of the Hess workforce and
local communities. A multidisciplinary Hess emergency response team
has been overseeing plans and precautions to reduce the risks of
COVID-19 in the work environment while maintaining business
continuity based on the most current recommendations by government
and public health agencies.
In addition to the global health
concerns of COVID-19, the pandemic has severely impacted demand for
oil. In response to the resulting sharp decline in oil prices, the
Corporation’s focus is on preserving cash and capability, while
protecting the long-term value of its assets. Hess has further
reduced its E&P capital and exploratory budget for 2020 to $1.9
billion, a 37 percent reduction from the original budget of $3.0
billion. This reduction will be achieved primarily by shifting from
six rigs to one rig in the Bakken and deferring discretionary
spending across the portfolio including a six to twelve month
deferral in the development of the Payara Field and reduced 2020
drilling activity on the Stabroek Block offshore Guyana.
As a result of the unprecedented
reduction in demand due to COVID-19, commercial storage in the
United States is expected to reach capacity in the second quarter,
which is requiring curtailments and shut-ins of production by the
industry. To maximize the value of Hess production, the Corporation
has chartered three VLCCs to store 2 million barrels each of May,
June and July Bakken crude oil production that is expected to be
sold in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Slowing economic activity caused
by the pandemic has impacted natural gas nominations at the North
Malay Basin (NMB) and JDA assets in Southeast Asia. Production in
the first quarter for NMB and JDA was 58,000 boepd compared to
68,000 boepd in the year ago quarter. Nominations have been reduced
due to the decline in business activity and production from NMB and
JDA is forecast to be approximately 35,000 boepd in the second
quarter and approximately 50,000 boepd in 2020. In Guyana, the
operator has temporarily idled two of the four drilling rigs on the
Stabroek Block due to pandemic-related travel restrictions. The
Liza Destiny floating production, offloading, and storage vessel
(FPSO) is expected to reach its full capacity of 120,000 gross
barrels of oil per day (bopd) in June, with April gross production
of approximately 75,000 bopd. Despite pandemic-related delays, the
Liza Phase 2 development remains on schedule to start production in
2022.
Exploration and Production:
E&P net loss was $2,371
million in the first quarter of 2020, compared with net income of
$109 million in the first quarter of 2019. On an adjusted basis,
E&P’s first quarter 2020 net loss was $120 million. The
Corporation’s average realized crude oil selling price, including
the effect of hedging, was $45.94 per barrel in the first quarter
of 2020, compared with $55.91 per barrel in the prior-year quarter.
The average realized natural gas liquids (NGL) selling price in the
first quarter of 2020 was $9.32 per barrel, compared with $18.46
per barrel in the prior-year quarter, while the average realized
natural gas selling price was $3.16 per mcf, compared with $4.43
per mcf in the first quarter of 2019.
Net production, excluding Libya,
was 344,000 boepd in the first quarter of 2020, up 24 percent from
first quarter 2019 net production of 278,000 boepd. The improved
performance primarily resulted from a 46 percent increase in Bakken
production and the first full quarter of production at the Liza
Field, offshore Guyana, which commenced production in December
2019. Libya net production was 5,000 boepd in the first quarter of
2020 and 21,000 boepd in the first quarter of 2019, reflecting the
Libyan National Oil Corporation’s declaration of force majeure in
January 2020 due to civil unrest.
Cash operating costs, which
include operating costs and expenses, production and severance
taxes, and E&P general and administrative expenses, were $9.70
per barrel of oil equivalent (boe) in the first quarter of 2020,
compared with $11.00 per boe in the prior-year quarter.
Operational Highlights for the First Quarter of 2020:
Bakken (Onshore U.S.): Net
production from the Bakken increased to 190,000 boepd from 130,000
boepd in the prior-year quarter, with net oil production up 34
percent to 114,000 bopd from 85,000 bopd, primarily due to
increased drilling activity and improved well performance. Natural
gas and NGL production were also higher due to the increased
drilling activity, additional natural gas captured and processed at
the Little Missouri 4 natural gas processing plant that commenced
operations in July 2019, and additional volumes received under
percentage of proceeds contracts resulting from lower prices. The
Corporation operated six rigs in the first quarter, drilling 41
wells, completing 50 wells and bringing 37 new wells online. As
previously announced, the Corporation plans to reduce the rig count
to one by the end of May and 2020 net production is forecast to
average approximately 175,000 boepd.
Gulf of Mexico (Offshore
U.S.): Net production from
the Gulf of Mexico was 74,000 boepd, compared with 70,000 boepd in
the prior-year quarter. The Esox-1 oil discovery in Mississippi
Canyon (Hess – 57 percent) achieved first production in February as
a low-cost tieback to the Tubular Bells production
facilities.
Guyana (Offshore): On the
Stabroek Block (Hess – 30 percent), the Corporation’s net production from the Liza
Field averaged 15,000 bopd in the first quarter of 2020. The
operator, Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited, expects
the Liza Destiny FPSO to reach full capacity of 120,000 gross bopd
in June. The first one million barrel cargo of oil allocated to
Hess was sold in March 2020.
Phase two of
the Liza Field development, which will utilize the Liza Unity FPSO
with an expected capacity of up to 220,000 gross bopd, remains on
target to achieve first oil in 2022. A third development, Payara,
with expected production capacity of up to 220,000 gross bopd, is
planned. Pending government approval to proceed, some 2020
activities at Payara are now being deferred, creating a potential
delay in first production of six to twelve months beyond the
initial start-up target in 2023.
As previously
reported, in January 2020, the Corporation announced a 16th
discovery at the Uaru well located approximately 10 miles northeast
of the Liza Field, which encountered 94 feet of high-quality
oil-bearing sandstone reservoir. This discovery adds to previously
reported estimated gross discovered recoverable resources for the
Stabroek Block of more than 8 billion boe.
Midstream:
The Midstream segment had net
income of $61 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared with
net income of $37 million in the prior-year quarter. The improved
first quarter 2020 results primarily reflect higher throughput
volumes.
Corporate, Interest and Other:
After-tax expense for Corporate,
Interest and Other was $123 million in the first quarter of 2020,
compared with $114 million in the first quarter of 2019, which
included capitalized interest expense of $7 million for the Liza
Field. Capitalized interest for the Liza Field ceased upon first
production in December 2019. First quarter 2020 corporate expenses
included a charge of $7 million for legal costs related to former
downstream businesses.
Capital and Exploratory Expenditures:
E&P capital and exploratory
expenditures were $631 million in the first quarter of 2020,
compared with $542 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily
reflecting greater activity in the Bakken, and the tie-in of the
Esox-1 well to the Tubular Bells production facilities in the Gulf
of Mexico. E&P capital and exploratory expenditures are now
projected to be approximately $1.9 billion, $1.1 billion lower than
beginning of year guidance primarily reflecting a reduction in the
Bakken rig count and deferral of capital in Guyana.
Midstream capital expenditures
were $57 million in the first quarter of 2020, down from $127
million in the prior-year quarter which reflected the prior-year
acquisition of crude oil, gas and water gathering assets from
Summit Midstream Partners.
Liquidity:
Excluding the Midstream segment,
Hess Corporation had cash and cash equivalents of $2.1 billion and
debt and finance lease obligations totaling $6.6 billion at March
31, 2020. As previously announced in March 2020, the Corporation
entered into a $1.0 billion three year term loan agreement with
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The term loan contains provisions that
require the Corporation to reduce JPMorgan’s initial funded amount.
The Corporation is currently in the process of syndicating with
other lenders. The Corporation’s debt to capitalization ratio as
defined in its debt covenants, which excludes the impact of noncash
impairment charges, was 42.0 percent at March 31, 2020 and 39.6
percent at December 31, 2019. The Corporation has no near-term debt
maturities aside from the new term loan. At March 31, 2020, the
fair value of its crude oil put option hedge contracts, which cover
more than 80 percent of its remaining 2020 oil production, was $1.1
billion.
The Midstream segment had cash and
cash equivalents of $3 million and total debt of $1,815 million at
March 31, 2020.
Net cash provided by operating
activities was $445 million in the first quarter of 2020, up from
$238 million in the first quarter of 2019. Net cash provided by
operating activities before changes in operating assets and
liabilities1 was $502 million in the first quarter of 2020,
compared with $635 million in the prior-year quarter. Changes in
operating assets and liabilities in the first quarter of 2020 were
a net outflow of $57 million.

Non-GAAP financial measures
The Corporation has used non-GAAP financial measures in this
earnings release. “Adjusted net income (loss)” presented in this
release is defined as reported net income (loss) attributable to
Hess Corporation excluding items identified as affecting
comparability of earnings between periods. “Net cash provided by
(used in) operating activities before changes in operating assets
and liabilities” presented in this release is defined as Net cash
provided by (used in) operating activities excluding changes in
operating assets and liabilities. Management uses adjusted net
income (loss) to evaluate the Corporation’s operating performance
and believes that investors’ understanding of our performance is
enhanced by disclosing this measure, which excludes certain items
that management believes are not directly related to ongoing
operations and are not indicative of future business trends and
operations. Management believes that net cash provided by (used in)
operating activities before changes in operating assets and
liabilities demonstrates the Corporation’s ability to internally
fund capital expenditures, pay dividends and service debt. These
measures are not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for
U.S. GAAP net income (loss) or net cash provided by (used in)
operating activities. A reconciliation of reported net income
(loss) attributable to Hess Corporation (U.S. GAAP) to adjusted net
income (loss), and a reconciliation of net cash provided by (used
in) operating activities (U.S. GAAP) to net cash provided by (used
in) operating activities before changes in operating assets and
liabilities are provided in the release.
