Gastar Exploration Announces Fourth Quarter And Full-Year 2014 Results
- Year-end Reserves Total 102 Million Boe
- Fourth Quarter Production Increased 27% Year-Over-Year to 11.7 MBoe/d
- Borrowing Base Increased to $200 Million with $145 Million Available
HOUSTON, March 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Gastar Exploration Inc. (NYSE MKT: GST) ("Gastar") today reported financial and operating results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014.
Net income attributable to Gastar's common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $26.7 million, or $0.34 per diluted share. Excluding the impact of a $24.9 million gain resulting from the mark-to-market of outstanding hedge positions, adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders was $1.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. This compares to a fourth quarter 2013 reported net loss of $3.3 million, or a loss of $0.06 per diluted share, and fourth quarter 2013 adjusted net income of $698,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, excluding the impact of a $2.8 million loss resulting from the mark-to-market of outstanding hedge positions, $639,000 of acquisition costs and non-recurring corporate restructuring charges of $593,000. (See the accompanying reconciliation of net income (loss) to net income excluding special items at the end of this news release.)
Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA") for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $25.9 million, an increase of 22% compared to $21.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. (See the accompanying reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP number, at the end of this news release.)
Revenues from oil, condensate, natural gas and natural gas liquids ("NGLs"), before the impact of hedging activities, increased 13% to $33.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 from $29.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, but declined 6% from revenues of $35.1 million in the third quarter of 2014. The increase in oil, condensate, natural gas and NGLs revenues from fourth quarter of 2013 to fourth quarter of 2014 was primarily the result of a 27% increase in production offset by an 11% decrease in weighted average realized equivalent prices. The decrease from third quarter of 2014 revenues was due to a 21% decline in equivalent product pricing offset by a 19% increase in equivalent production volumes.
Revenues from liquids (oil, condensate and NGLs) represented approximately 77% of total production revenues in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to 65% for the fourth quarter of 2013 and 80% during the third quarter of 2014. We had hedges in place covering approximately 76% of our natural gas production, 36% of our oil and condensate production and 65% of our NGLs production for the fourth quarter of 2014. Commodity derivative contracts settled during the period resulted in a $3.5 million increase in revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to a $288,000 increase in revenue for the fourth quarter of 2013 and a $960,000 reduction in revenue for the third quarter of 2014. We continue to maintain an active hedging program covering a portion of estimated future production, which is reported in our periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Average daily production for the fourth quarter of 2014 was 11,700 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("Boe/d") (on a 6:1 gas (Mcf) to liquids (barrel) equivalent basis) as compared to 9,200 Boe/d in the fourth quarter of 2013 and 9,800 Boe/d in the third quarter of 2014. Oil, condensate and NGLs as a percentage of production volumes were 53% in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to 39% in the fourth quarter of 2013 and 48% in the third quarter of 2014.
J. Russell Porter, Gastar's President and CEO, commented, "Gastar ended 2014 on a very positive note and we are well positioned to execute our business plan in 2015. We have ample liquidity and are off to a very encouraging start in 2015 with additional excellent drilling results on our West Edmond Hunton Lime Unit ("WEHLU") acreage. In 2014, we strengthened our balance sheet with an equity issuance and continued our track-record of growing our reserve base to support a larger credit facility, which now includes an additional $55 million of borrowing capacity under the revolver. In addition to achieving reserve growth of 87% in 2014, we also continued to meet our strategic objective of increasing our weighting towards liquids, which now represents 53% of our reserve base, of which 29% is oil and 24% is NGLs."
"We are taking a conservative approach to our 2015 capital budget, which as previously announced was reduced to approximately $103 million, since we believe maintaining liquidity and financial discipline will benefit us in these uncertain market conditions. Despite a significantly lower capital budget in 2015 compared to 2014, we anticipate our production for 2015 will grow by approximately 22% compared to 2014 production (based on mid-point guidance)."
"We are investing our capital in areas that will generate acceptable returns while also positioning us for improved liquidity through new proven reserve additions. In the Mid-Continent, the Hunton formation continues to represent a substantial source of high return projects. Our 2015 Hunton drilling program will focus on our WEHLU acreage. We have seen oil production rates from wells in our WEHLU acreage that exceed our type curves, and when combined with the lower cost structure associated with the projects, we can achieve strong economic returns in the current price environment. We are encouraged by the early production results of our most recent upper and lower Hunton wells in the southern portion of our WEHLU acreage. In the Appalachian Basin, we have limited near-term lease expirations, allowing us to postpone any new drilling and wait for better natural gas and NGLs pricing to improve economic returns in the region."

Lease operating expenses ("LOE") were $6.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2014. The increase in LOE compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 was primarily due to increased expenses from new wells drilled and acquired in mid-to-late 2013 combined with higher overall costs associated with producing oil versus natural gas. Compared to the third quarter of 2014, LOE in the fourth quarter of 2014 included increased workover costs of $608,000 for one-time operations on five wells on our operated WEHLU acreage as well as higher frack water disposal costs associated with bringing new wells online. LOE per barrel of oil equivalent ("Boe") of production was $5.83 in the fourth quarter of 2014 versus $3.85 in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $4.59 in the third quarter of 2014.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense ("DD&A") was $12.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, up from $11.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2014. The increase in DD&A expense is the result of higher production volumes in the fourth quarter of 2014. The DD&A rate for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $11.53 per Boe compared to $13.02 per Boe for the fourth quarter of 2013 and $12.33 per Boe in the third quarter of 2014. The lower DD&A rate per Boe is due to the increase in year-end proved reserves.
General and administrative ("G&A") expense was $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $5.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2014. G&A expense for the fourth quarter of 2014 included $1.2 million of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, versus $895,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2014. Excluding stock compensation expense, cash G&A expense decreased to $2.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 from $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2014. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2013 was primarily due to a reduction in acquisition-related costs, lower costs associated with reorganization to eliminate Gastar's holding company corporate structure and fourth quarter 2013 severance costs related to property divestments, partially offset by the current year's higher legal costs and higher personnel costs related to property acquisitions.
Interest expense totaled $6.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $5.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase was the result of the issuance in November of 2013 of an additional $125.0 million of 8 5/8% Senior Secured Notes.
Operations Review and Update
Mid-Continent
Net production from the Mid-Continent area increased to an average of 5,600 Boe/d in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to 2,300 Boe/d in the fourth quarter of 2013 and 4,500 Boe/d in the third quarter of 2014. Fourth quarter 2014 Mid-Continent production consisted of approximately 54% oil, 27% natural gas and 19% NGLs.
Currently, there are no rigs drilling on our AMI joint venture acreage. Along with our AMI partner, we continue to monitor oil prices and service costs and will re-evaluate resuming our drilling program later in the year based on market conditions.
Within our AMI acreage, seven gross (3.2 net) non-operated wells were placed on production during the fourth quarter of 2014. We expect to complete and bring on production four gross (2.1 net) wells in the first quarter of 2015 and six gross (2.4 net) wells in the second quarter of 2015. To date in 2015, two gross (0.9 net) non-operated wells have been placed on production and eight gross (3.6 net) non-operated wells have been drilled and are awaiting completion.
The table below shows wells brought on production or for which drilling operations have commenced since the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2014 within our original AMI in the Hunton Limestone formation (all of which are operated by our joint venture partner):

During the fourth quarter of 2014, we completed two gross (2.0 net) operated horizontal wells, the Deer Draw 21-4H and Deer Draw 21-5H, both located on the northern portion of our WEHLU acreage. To date in 2015, two gross (2.0 net) operated horizontal wells, the Warsaw 33-2H, an upper Hunton completion, and the Warsaw 33-3H, a lower Hunton completion, both located on the southern portion of our WEHLU acreage, were placed on production. Early production results from all four wells are exceeding our type curve production projections.

The Warsaw 33-1 is a vertical well. |
We currently have two rigs running on the northern portion of our WEHLU acreage drilling the Easton 22-3H, a lower Hunton well, and the Blair Farms 31-1H, an upper Hunton well. These wells are currently scheduled to be on production during the second quarter of 2015. Once drilling is complete on these two wells, we plan to move a rig to the southern portion of our WEHLU acreage to drill areas that presently do not contain any proven or probable reserves.
In the Mid-Continent, our net capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2014 totaled $47 million, resulting in full year 2014 total capital expenditures of $141 million. Our 2015 capital expenditure budget in the Mid-Continent is $69 million, of which $60 million is allocated to drilling and completion and $9 million to lease extensions.
Appalachian Basin
Net production from the Appalachian Basin area averaged 6,100 Boe/d in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to 6,800 Boe/d for the fourth quarter of 2013 and 5,300 Boe/d in the third quarter of 2014. Year-over-year production volumes decreased due to natural production declines and fewer wells being brought on production. The sequential increase was due to seven gross (3.5 net) Armstrong Marcellus Shale wells and three gross (1.5 net) Hansen Marcellus Shale wells being brought on production in mid-to-late December 2014. The Armstrong pad seven well gross initial production rate was approximately 13,800 Mcf/d and 2,300 barrels of condensate per day. The Hansen pad three well gross initial production rate was approximately 11,400 Mcf/d and 1,500 barrels of condensate per day.
In February 2015, we completed the three gross (1.5 net) remaining Marcellus Shale wells on the Goudy pad and have recently commenced flow back operations. Gross initial production from the three recent Goudy well completions was approximately 5,300 Mcf/d and 890 barrels of condensate per day. Currently, we are completing two gross (1.0 net) Marcellus Shale wells on the Hoyt pad and are planning to complete two gross (1.0 net) Marcellus Shale wells and one gross (0.5 net) Utica/Point Pleasant well on the Blake pad. Production is scheduled to commence on the Hoyt pad in April 2015 followed by production on the Blake pad in May 2015.
Net capital expenditures in the Appalachian Basin for the fourth quarter of 2014 totaled $36 million, resulting in full year 2014 total capital expenditures of $76 million. We have allocated approximately $27 million of our 2015 capital budget to the Appalachian Basin, of which $19 million is for the completion of eight gross (4.0 net) previously drilled wells and $8 million is primarily for acquiring additional mineral rights in the area. We will continue to monitor commodity prices and services costs in the area and may elect to resume drilling should economic conditions warrant.
Liquidity
At December 31, 2014 we had approximately $11 million in available cash and cash equivalents and $100 million of availability under our $145 million revolving credit facility. Effective March 9, 2015, we increased the borrowing base on our revolving credit facility to $200 million with $55 million of borrowings outstanding. We expect to fund our 2015 capital program through existing cash balances, internally generated cash flow from operating activities, borrowings under the revolving credit facility, and potential property sales or some combination thereof.

2014 Proved Reserves
As previously reported, proved reserves as of December 31, 2014 increased by 87% to 102.1 million barrels of oil equivalent ("MMBoe"), composed of 28.6 million barrels of crude oil and condensate, 25.6 million barrels of natural gas liquids and 287 billion cubic feet of natural gas. Of the total proved reserves, 36% are classified as proved developed. The pre-tax SEC-priced present value of future cash flows of these reserves, discounted at 10% ("PV-10") (a non-GAAP financial measure defined below in Information on Reserves and PV-10 Value), grew 67% to $988.7 million as compared to year-end 2013.
The year-over-year net increase in proved reserves of 47.4 MMBoe primarily consisted of 42.8 MMBoe of proved reserve additions (pre-tax PV-10 value of $369.8 million).
Capital expenditures for 2014 totaled $220.5 million, comprised of $36.7 million for unproved acreage and related costs and $183.8 million for drilling expenditures.

About Gastar Exploration
Gastar Exploration Inc. is an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil, condensate, natural gas and natural gas liquids in the United States. Gastar's principal business activities include the identification, acquisition, and subsequent exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties with an emphasis on unconventional reserves, such as shale resource plays. In Oklahoma, Gastar is developing the primarily oil-bearing reservoirs of the Hunton Limestone horizontal play and in the future plans to test other prospective formations on the same acreage, including the Woodford Shale and the Meramec Shale (middle Mississippi Lime), which Gastar refers to as the Stack Play. In West Virginia, Gastar is developing liquids-rich natural gas in the Marcellus Shale and has drilled its first successful dry gas Utica Shale/Point Pleasant well on its acreage. For more information, visit Gastar's website at www.gastar.com.
Information on Reserves and PV-10 Value
For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, future cash inflows were computed using the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month prices for natural gas and oil (the "benchmark base prices"). Benchmark base prices are held constant in accordance with SEC guidelines for the life of the wells but are adjusted by lease in accordance with sales contracts and for energy content, quality, transportation, compression, and gathering fees and regional price differentials. The $94.99 per barrel WTI spot oil price and the Henry Hub natural gas price of $4.35 per MMBtu average benchmark base prices used in our December 31, 2014 SEC compliant reserves report are significantly above current market commodity prices.
PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC because it excludes the effects of income taxes. We believe that the presentation of PV-10 is relevant and useful to our investors because it presents the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our reserves prior to taking into account corporate future income taxes and our current tax structure. We further believe investors and creditors use PV-10 as a basis for comparison of the relative size of our reserves as compared with other companies.
The financial measure most directly comparable to PV-10 is the standardized measure of future net cash flows ("Standardized Measure"). Our PV-10 as of December 31, 2014 of $988.7 million differs from our Standardized Measure of $816.7 million as of such date because Standardized Measure is reduced by the discounted effect of estimated future income taxes, which discounted at 10% were $172.0 million.
We use the term "EUR" or "estimated ultimate recovery" to describe potentially recoverable oil and gas hydrocarbon quantities that are not permitted to be used in filings with the SEC. These estimates are by their nature much more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and would require substantial capital spending over a significant number of years to implement recovery. Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially. In addition, we have made no commitment to drill, and likely will not drill, all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities.
Ultimate recoveries will be dependent on numerous factors, including actual encountered geological conditions, the impact of future oil and gas pricing, exploration and development costs, and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk, returns and the availability of capital and, in many areas, the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases.
The Company's 2014 year-end total proved reserves estimates were prepared by Wright & Company, Inc.
Forward Looking Statements
This news release also 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. Forward looking statements give our current expectations, opinion, belief or forecasts of future events and performance. A statement identified by the use of forward looking words including "may," "expects," "projects," "anticipates," "plans," "believes," "estimate," "will," "should," and certain of the other foregoing statements may be deemed forward-looking statements. Although Gastar believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual future activities and results to be materially different from those suggested or described in this news release. These include risks inherent in natural gas and oil drilling and production activities, including risks with respect to continued low or further declining prices for oil and natural gas that could cause Gastar to further delay or suspend planned drilling and completion operations or reduce production levels which would adversely impact cash flow; risks relating to the availability of capital to fund drilling operations that can be adversely affected by adverse drilling results, production declines and declines in natural gas and oil prices; risks regarding our ability to meet financial covenants under our indenture or credit agreements or the ability to obtain amendments or waivers to effect such compliance; risks of fire, explosion, blowouts, pipe failure, casing collapse, unusual or unexpected formation pressures, environmental hazards, and other operating and production risks, which may temporarily or permanently reduce production or cause initial production or test results to not be indicative of future well performance or delay the timing of sales or completion of drilling operations; delays in receipt of drilling permits; risks relating to unexpected adverse developments in the status of properties; borrowing base redeterminations by our banks; risks relating to the absence or delay in receipt of government approvals or third-party consents; risks relating to our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from acquired assets; and other risks described in Gastar's Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the SEC, available at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Our actual sales production rates can vary considerably from tested initial production rates depending upon completion and production techniques and our primary areas of operations are subject to natural steep decline rates. By issuing forward looking statements based on current expectations, opinions, views or beliefs, Gastar has no obligation and, except as required by law, is not undertaking any obligation, to update or revise these statements or provide any other information relating to such statements.
Unless otherwise stated herein, equivalent volumes of production and reserves are based upon an energy equivalent ratio of six Mcf of natural gas to each barrel of liquids (oil, condensate and NGLs), which ratio is not reflective of relative value. Our NGLs are sold as part of our wet gas subject to an incremental NGLs pricing formula based upon a percentage of NGLs extracted from our wet gas production. Our reported production volumes reflect incremental post-processing NGLs volumes and residual gas volumes with which we are credited under our sales contracts.
Targeted expectations and guidance for 2015 are based upon the current revised 2015 capital expenditures budget, which may be subject to revision and reevaluation dependent upon future developments, including drilling results, availability of crews, supplies and production capacity, weather delays, and significant changes in commodities prices or drilling costs.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND RECONCILIATION
We use both GAAP and certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess performance. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information to investors in order that they may evaluate our financial performance using the same measures as management. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In evaluating these measures, investors should consider that the methodology applied in calculating such measures may differ among companies and analysts. A reconciliation is provided below outlining the differences between these non-GAAP measures and their most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
