PHX MINERALS INC. Reports Fourth Quarter And Fiscal 2020 Results And Announces Dividend Payment

PR Newswire

OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — PHX MINERALS INC., “PHX” or the “Company,” (NYSE: PHX), today reported financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2020.

Chad L. Stephens, President and CEO, commented, “In many respects, the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the energy industry harder than any other major sector of the U.S. economy in 2020. While natural gas and oil prices have rebounded recently, 2020 saw some of the largest price declines in decades causing producers to quickly shut-in production, slash capital investments and significantly reduce overhead including workforce reductions.

“Despite the impact of the pandemic, we have made significant progress throughout this year on the strategy we laid out in January to focus solely on minerals, high grade the asset base and maintain a flexible balance sheet. We are pleased to see our sequential quarter financial performance improve materially. For the full fiscal year, we have paid down our debt through operating cash flow by $6.7 million, or roughly 20%; controlled cash expenses, which are down approximately $4 million, or 19%; reaffirmed our bank borrowing base; closed on an acquisition for total consideration of $9.3 million and executed a common equity offering of 5.75 million shares to fund additional acquisitions. Since the Sept. 30, 2020, fiscal year end, we have also closed on or entered into a purchase and sales agreement to acquire additional minerals in the SCOOP and Haynesville plays for total cash consideration of $7.3 million. Additionally, we changed our name and logo to better align ourselves with our core strategy. When looking toward the horizon, we estimate we will have completely eliminated our debt within four years, using operating cash flows at current strip prices. The hedges we have in place protect operating cash flows and allow us to weather the volatility in the market. As we pay down debt, our financial position will get stronger and allow us to allocate more capital to our core growth strategy of making value accretive mineral acquisitions. We also believe that the current sector dislocation will provide us with additional opportunities to use our public company platform to be an active minerals consolidator over the next few years.”

FOURTH QUARTER 2020 RESULTS

Natural gas, oil and NGL revenue decreased 38% in the 2020 quarter as production decreased 20% and product prices decreased 23%, relative to the 2019 quarter. The 2020 quarter included a $1.5 million loss on derivative contracts as compared to a $1.1 million gain for the 2019 quarter.

Total production decreased 20% in the 2020 quarter, as compared to the 2019 quarter. Total production decreased due to naturally declining production in the Eagle Ford, Arkoma Stack, STACK and, to a lesser extent, the Fayetteville, production downtime in high interest wells in the Arkoma Stack, postponement of workovers due to prevailing economic conditions in high interest wells in the Eagle Ford, and asset sales in 2019 and 2020 in the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico.  These decreases were slightly offset by a ten-well drilling program in the Bakken that came online in November 2019 and mineral acquisitions of Bakken and STACK producing properties in late 2019.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company sold open and non-producing net mineral acres in northwest Oklahoma for a gain of $717,640. In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company sold working interests in Martin County, Texas, and mineral acreage in Reagan, Upton, Loving, Martin, Ward and Reeves Counties, Texas, for a gain of $5,858,701.

The 34% decrease in total cost per Mcfe in the 2020 quarter, relative to the 2019 quarter, was primarily driven by a decrease in DD&A. DD&A decreased $3,855,882, or 60%, in the 2020 quarter to $1.24 per Mcfe, as compared to $2.50 per Mcfe in the 2019 quarter. Of the decrease, $1,293,263 was a result of production decreasing 20% in the 2020 quarter. Also, DD&A decreased $2,562,619 as a result of a $1.26 decrease in the DD&A rate per Mcfe (due to impairments taken at the end of fiscal 2019 and the 2020 second quarter), which lowered the basis of the assets. The rate decrease was partially offset by lower natural gas, oil and NGL prices utilized in the reserve calculations during the 2020 quarter, as compared to the 2019 quarter, shortening the economic life of wells.

No impairment charge was recorded during the 2020 quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2019, impairment was $76,824,337, of which $76,560,376 was recorded on the Eagle Ford assets. The remaining $263,961 of impairment was taken on various other assets. The impairment on the Eagle Ford assets was triggered by the Company making the strategic decision to cease participating with a working interest on its mineral and leasehold acreage going forward and, therefore, removing all working interest PUDs from the reserve reports. The removal of the PUDs caused the Eagle Ford assets to fail the step one test for impairment, as its undiscounted cash flows were not high enough to cover the book basis of the assets. These assets were written down to their fair market value as required by GAAP.

The Company’s net income (loss) changed from net loss of $56.2 million in the 2019 quarter to a net loss of $1.8 million in the 2020 quarter. The change was primarily due to the non-cash impairment (as noted above) in 2019, as well as lower expenses in 2020, partially offset by lower gain on asset sales and loss on derivative contracts in 2020. Adjusted pretax net income(1) was $2.7 million in the 2019 quarter, as compared to $0.1 million adjusted pretax net loss(1) in the 2020 quarter.

FISCAL YEAR 2020 RESULTS

Natural gas, oil and NGL revenue decreased 41% in 2020 as production decreased 17% and product prices decreased 28%, relative to 2019. Fiscal 2020 total revenues included a $4.0 million gain on asset sales and also included a $0.9 million gain on derivative contracts, as compared to a $19.0 million gain on asset sales and $6.1 million gain on derivative contracts for 2019.

Total production decreased 17% in 2020, as compared to 2019. This decrease for 2020 was due to factors consistent with those discussed above. The Company also elected not to participate with a working interest in any wells proposed on its mineral acreage during 2020 or 2019.

In 2020, the Company sold 530 net mineral acres in Eddy County, N.M., for a gain on sales of $3.3 million. The Company also sold 5,925 open and non-producing net mineral acres in northwest Oklahoma for a net gain on sales of $0.7 million. In 2019, the Company sold 975 net mineral and royalty acres for a net gain on sales of $18.7 million.

The 13% decrease in total cost per Mcfe in 2020, relative to 2019, was primarily driven by a decrease in DD&A as noted above.

The Company’s net loss changed from net loss of $40.7 million in 2019 to a net loss of $24.0 million in 2020. The majority of the loss in 2019 and 2020 was due to the non-cash impairments. In 2020, net loss was also driven by lower natural gas, oil and NGL sales due to lower commodity prices and decreased production.

During the year, the Company paid down $6.7 million of debt under the Company’s credit facility.

OPERATIONS UPDATE

At Nov. 20, 2020, the Company had a total of 115 gross wells (0.51 net wells) in progress across its mineral positions and 107 gross active permitted wells. As of Nov. 20, 2020, there were four rigs operating on the Company’s acreage and 32 rigs operating within 2.5 miles of its acreage.

RESERVES UPDATE

At Sept. 30, 2020, proved reserves were 57.7 Bcfe, as calculated by DeGolyer and MacNaughton, the Company’s independent consulting petroleum engineering firm. This was a 46% decrease, compared to the 106.4 Bcfe of proved reserves at Sept. 30, 2019. Total proved developed reserves decreased 39% to 54.6 Bcfe, as compared to Sept. 30, 2019, reserve volumes, mainly due to 2020 production and pricing and performance revisions. The pricing revisions were due to wells reaching their economic limits earlier than projected in 2019. The performance revisions were principally due to lower performance of the Company’s high-interest Woodford natural gas wells in the STACK and Arkoma Stack in Oklahoma and, to a lesser extent, lower performance of the Eagle Ford Shale oil properties in southern Texas. Total proved undeveloped reserves decreased 14.0 Bcfe principally due to the impact of COVID-19 and reduced pricing leading to an unprecedented decrease in operator activity in 2020 and a decision to remove PUD locations not permitted, in progress, or drilled and uncompleted (DUC). SEC prices used for the Sept. 30, 2020, report averaged $1.62 per Mcf for natural gas, $40.18 per barrel for oil and $9.95 per barrel for NGL, compared to $2.48 per Mcf for natural gas, $54.40 per barrel for oil and $19.30 per barrel for NGL for the Sept. 30, 2019, report. These prices reflect net prices received at the wellhead.

BORROWING BASE

On Dec. 4, 2020, the Company entered into an Eighth Amendment to the Credit Facility. The borrowing base after Quarterly Reduction Commitments was reaffirmed at $30.0 million. This amendment favorably reduced the Quarterly Commitment Reductions from $1,000,000 to $600,000. Additionally, the consolidated cash balance in the anti-cash hoarding provision was reduced from $2,000,000 to $1,000,000 and the debt to EBITDA ratio was reduced from 4.0:1.00 to 3.50:1.00.

FOURTH QUARTER EARNINGS CALL

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

This news release includes certain “non-GAAP financial measures” under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Regulation G. These non-GAAP measures are calculated using GAAP amounts in our financial statements.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus interest expense, provision for impairment, depreciation, depletion and amortization of properties and equipment, including amortization of other assets, provision (benefit) for income taxes and unrealized (gains) losses on derivative contracts. We have included a presentation of adjusted EBITDA because we recognize that certain investors consider adjusted EBITDA a useful means of measuring our ability to meet our debt service obligations and evaluating our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow from operations or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated.
