Financial Update

Third quarter 2019 net income was $19.3 million, or $0.13 per dilutive share, and adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $13.9 million, or $0.09 per dilutive share. Third quarter 2019 Adjusted EBITDAX (non-GAAP) was $86.8 million.

See the definitions and reconciliations of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, Adjusted EBITDAX, net funded debt and cash general and administrative (G&A) expense presented within this release to the most directly comparable U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial measures provided in the supporting tables or definitions at the conclusion of this press release.

Third quarter 2019 average realized prices were $54.51 per barrel of oil (Bo), $8.05 per barrel of NGLs and $0.81 per Mcf of natural gas, resulting in a total equivalent unhedged price of $18.70 per Boe or a total equivalent hedged price of $22.05 per Boe. Average prices excluding the impact of hedges were approximately 11% lower than the previous quarter primarily due to further weakness in the NGL and natural gas markets.

The Company’s adjusted cash operating costs (non-GAAP) for the third quarter were $4.49 per Boe, including production expense of $2.61 per Boe, production tax of $0.98 per Boe and adjusted cash G&A expense (non-GAAP) of $0.90 per Boe. Cash G&A expense was lower as compared to the second quarter primarily due to a reversal of accrued amounts related to anticipated 2019 performance bonuses.

Capital expenditures for third quarter 2019 totaled approximately $130.9 million, a $16.6 million increase as compared to the second quarter 2019. The increase in capital expenditures is primarily due to increases in working interests as producing well ownership was finalized through the pooling process.

As of the end of the third quarter, Roan had $3.5 million of cash on the balance sheet, $732.6 million drawn on its revolving credit facility and $50.0 million funded on its term loan, resulting in net funded debt (non-GAAP) of $779.2 million. The Company had approximately $50 million of available liquidity through the committed but unfunded balances in the Roan Inc. Term Loan and approximately $17 million of availability on its Credit Facility as of September 30, 2019.

For the fourth quarter, the Company has 13 thousand barrels per day of oil hedged at $60.75 per barrel, 120 thousand MMBtu per day of natural gas hedged at $2.90 per MMBtu, 80 thousand MMBtu per day of natural gas basis hedged at $0.52 per MMBtu and 10 thousand barrels per day of NGLs hedged at $25.65 per barrel. Tables showing the Company’s derivative contracts as of November 4, 2019 are provided at the conclusion of this press release.

Guidance

Roan has also elected to temporarily curtail its drilling and development activity and to suspend all completion activity. This reduction in activity is to allow our new CEO, Rick Gideon, time to assess the Company’s overall operations plan. As a result of this change, investors should no longer rely on the guidance provided by the Company on its last quarterly investor call, and Roan does not expect to otherwise update or provide further guidance.

Third Quarter 2019 Earnings Conference Call

Due to the pending proposed merger, Roan will not host a conference call in conjunction with its third quarter 2019 earnings. Interested parties are invited to access Roan’s Form 10-Q for the third quarter 2019 on the Company’s website at www.RoanResources.com under the “Investors” section of the site.

Cautionary Statements

This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements which contain our current expectations about future results. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and expectations made by the Company, which reflect management’s experience, estimates and perception of historical trends, current conditions and anticipated future developments. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or anticipated in the forward-looking statements. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements found in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and any subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, or incidental to the development, production, gathering and sale of oil, natural gas and NGLs. These risks include, but are not limited to, the expectations of plans, strategies, objectives and growth and anticipated financial and operational performance, the structure and timing of any transaction or strategic alternative and whether any transaction or strategic alternative will be completed, commodity price volatility, inflation, lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services, environmental risks, drilling and other operating risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital, the timing of development expenditures and the other risks.

Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil, natural gas and NGLs that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil, natural gas and NGLs that are ultimately recovered.

Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this release are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share

Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are non-GAAP performance measures. The Company defines adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share as net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share excluding non-cash gains or losses on derivatives, gains on early terminations of derivative contracts, exploration expense, strategic alternative and merger related expenses, aborted offering costs, severance and other employee matter expense and gain on the sale of other assets. Management uses adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share as an indicator of the Company's operational trends and performance relative to other oil and natural gas companies. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), operating income, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDAX

Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, exploration expense, non-cash equity-based compensation expense, strategic alternative and merger related expenses, aborted offering costs, severance and employee matter expenses, expense for allowance for doubtful accounts, (gain) loss on derivative contracts, and cash (paid) received upon settlement of derivative contracts, excluding amounts on contracts settled prior to contract maturity. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income (loss) as determined by GAAP. Our accounting predecessor, Roan LLC, passed through its taxable income to its owners for income tax purposes and thus, the Company did not incur historical income tax expenses.

The Company believes Adjusted EBITDAX is useful because it allows our management to more effectively evaluate the operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. The Company adds the items listed above to net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDAX.

Roan’s computations of Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies or to such measure in our revolving credit facility or any of our other contracts.

The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAX to net income (loss), our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for each of the periods indicated.
