Production Results and Price Realizations
Third quarter 2016 production volumes from continuing operations were 197.8 MMcfe/d, an increase of 8% over the third quarter of 2015, consisting of 118.8 MMcf/d of natural gas and 13.2 Mboe/d of condensate and NGLs (including 6.6 Mboe/d of ethane). Condensate and NGLs (including ethane) accounted for 40% of net production for the third quarter of 2016.
Including the effects of cash-settled derivatives, realized prices for the three months ended September 30, 2016 were $1.65 per Mcf for natural gas, $39.70 per barrel for condensate, $18.15 per barrel for NGLs (C3+) and $8.15 per barrel for ethane. Before the effects of hedging, realized prices for the three months ended September 30, 2016 were $1.54 per Mcf for natural gas, $38.82 per barrel for condensate, $16.48 per barrel for NGLs (C3+) and $7.99 per barrel for ethane. Third quarter 2016 price realizations were negatively impacted by the early termination of hedges during the second quarter of 2016.
Including the effects of cash-settled derivatives, realized prices for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $2.17 per Mcf for natural gas, $43.18 per barrel for condensate, $18.78 per barrel for NGLs (C3+) and $7.43 per barrel for ethane. Before the effects of hedging, realized prices for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $1.44 per Mcf for natural gas, $34.72 per barrel for condensate, $14.74 per barrel for NGLs (C3+) and $7.28 per barrel for ethane.
Third Quarter 2016 Capital Investments
For the third quarter of 2016, net operational capital investments were approximately $10.9 million. The company expects to be reimbursed by joint venture partners for approximately $11.8 million of previously incurred costs that were not billed until the fourth quarter. These capital investments funded the drilling of four gross (1.4 net) wells, fracture stimulation of three gross (1.8 net) wells, placing four gross (2.1 net) wells into sales and other projects related to drilling and completing wells in the Appalachian Basin.
Third quarter investments for leasing and property acquisitions were $0.4 million and capitalized interest was $0.3 million.
Operational Update
Appalachian Basin – Legacy Butler Operated Area
During the third quarter of 2016, the company placed into sales the two-well Geyer pad. The Geyer wells were drilled to an average lateral length of approximately 4,200 feet and were completed in an average of 24 stages. The wells produced at an average 5-day sales rate per well, assuming full ethane recovery, of 6.1 MMcfe/d, consisting of 3.8 MMcf/d of gas and 387 bbls/d of NGLs.
Appalachian Basin – Moraine East Area
In the Moraine East Area, Rex Energy drilled one gross (0.4 net) well during the third quarter of 2016. In addition, the company had six gross (2.1 net) wells awaiting completion at the end of the third quarter.
During the third quarter of 2016, the company placed the four-well Fleeger II pad into sales, consisting of three Marcellus wells and one Upper Devonian well. The Fleeger II wells were drilled to an average lateral length of approximately 7,760 feet and completed in an average of 46 stages with average sand concentrations of 2,444 pounds per foot. The three Marcellus wells produced at an average 24-hour sales rate per well, assuming full ethane recovery, of 10.4 MMcfe/d, consisting of 4.3 MMcf/d of natural gas, 851 bbls/d of NGLs and 154 bbls/d of condensate. The Upper Devonian Burkett well, the Fleeger II 3H, produced at a 24-hour sales rate of 7.0 MMcfe/d, consisting of 2.9 MMcf/d of natural gas, 557 bbls/d of NGLs and 133 bbls/d of condensate. The Fleeger II 3H has not fully dewatered and is continuing to improve as it cleans up.
The company recently completed the two-well Klever pad, which was drilled to an average lateral length of approximately 7,460 feet. The pad is expected to be placed into sales during the fourth quarter of 2016. The company also expects to complete the four-well Baird pad in the fourth quarter of 2016 and place the pad into sales in January 2016. Horizontal drilling has started on the six-well Shields pad, which is expected to have an average lateral length of approximately 7,750 feet. The Shields pad is expected to be placed into sales in the second quarter of 2017.
Appalachian Basin – Warrior North Area – Carroll County, Ohio
In the Warrior North Area, Rex Energy drilled 3.5 gross (1.2 net) wells during the third quarter of 2016. The company is currently completing the four-well Vaughn pad, which was drilled to an average lateral length of approximately 7,200 feet. The Vaughn pad is expected to be placed into sales in December 2016.

Appalachian Basin – Marketing Update
On November 1, 2016, Rex Energy began transporting 130 MMbtu/d of natural gas volumes from its Butler Operated Area to the Gulf Coast and Midwest markets. The commencement of this transportation allows the company to access premium markets in the Midwest and the Gulf Coast, including the future Freeport LNG export facilities, where the company will receive Henry Hub pricing at a minimal discount. Rex Energy expects to transport approximately 50% of its natural gas volumes to these markets. With Gulf Coast transportation in place for full-year 2017, the company expects its overall basis differential to improve by approximately 50% over its full-year 2016 basis differential.
Earlier this year, Rex Energy began selling ethane from the Butler Operated and Warrior North Areas on Mariner East out of the Marcus Hook facility. The access to international markets has resulted in the company receiving a premium to Mont. Belvieu pricing.
During the second half of 2016, the company renegotiated its condensate pricing agreements, resulting in over $5.00/bbl incremental value in condensate pricing.
Liquidity Update
During the third quarter, Rex Energy completed the sale of its Illinois Basin assets for approximately $40 million and the company’s bank group reaffirmed the $190 million borrowing base under the its senior secured credit facility.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
EBITDAX
“EBITDAX” means, for any period, the sum of net income for such period plus the following expenses, charges or income to the extent deducted from or added to net income in such period: interest, income taxes, DD&A, unrealized losses from financial derivatives, non-recurring gains and losses, exploration expenses and other similar non-cash charges, minus all non-cash income, including but not limited to, income from unrealized financial derivatives and gains on asset dispositions, added to net income. EBITDAX, as defined above, is used as a financial measure by our management team and by other users of its financial statements, such as our commercial bank lenders to analyze such things as:
- Our operating performance and return on capital in comparison to those of other companies in our industry, without regard to financial or capital structure;
- The financial performance of our assets and valuation of the entity without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
- Our ability to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support our indebtedness and make cash distributions to our stockholders; and
- The viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.
EBITDAX is not a calculation based on GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) in measuring our performance, nor should it be used as an exclusive measure of cash flows, because it does not consider the impact of working capital growth, capital expenditures, debt principal reductions, and other sources and uses of cash, which are disclosed in our consolidated statements of cash flows.
We have reported EBITDAX because it is a financial measure used by our existing commercial lenders, and because this measure is commonly reported and widely used by investors as an indicator of a company’s operating performance and ability to incur and service debt. You should carefully consider the specific items included in our computations of EBITDAX. While we have disclosed EBITDAX to permit a more complete comparative analysis of our operating performance and debt servicing ability relative to other companies, you are cautioned that EBITDAX as reported by us may not be comparable in all instances to EBITDAX as reported by other companies. EBITDAX amounts may not be fully available for management’s discretionary use, due to requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, debt service and other commitments.
We believe that EBITDAX assists our lenders and investors in comparing our performance on a consistent basis without regard to certain expenses, which can vary significantly depending upon accounting methods. Because we may borrow money to finance our operations, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs. In addition, because we use capital assets, DD&A are also necessary elements of our costs. Finally, we are required to pay federal and state taxes, which are necessary elements of our costs. Therefore, any measures that exclude these elements have material limitations.
To compensate for these limitations, we believe it is important to consider both net income determined under GAAP and EBITDAX to evaluate our performance.
For purposes of consistency with current calculations, we have revised certain amounts relating to prior period EBITDAX. The following table presents a reconciliation of our net income to EBITDAX for each of the periods presented.

Adjusted Net Income
“Adjusted Net Income” means, for any period, the sum of net income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for the period plus the following expenses, charges or income, in each case, to the extent deducted from or added to net income in the period: unrealized losses from financial derivatives, non-cash compensation expense, dry hole expenses, disposals of assets, impairment and other one-time or non-recurring charges, minus all gains from unrealized financial derivatives, disposal of assets and deferred income tax benefits, added to net income. Adjusted Net Income is used as a financial measure by Rex Energy's management team and by other users of its financial statements, to analyze its financial performance without regard to non-cash deferred taxes and non-cash unrealized losses or gains from oil and gas derivatives. Adjusted Net Income is not a calculation based on GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) in measuring the company's performance.
Rex Energy reports Adjusted Net Income because it believes that this measure is commonly reported and widely used by investors as an indicator of a company's operating performance. You should carefully consider the specific items included in the company's computation of this measure. You are cautioned that Adjusted Net Income as reported by Rex Energy may not be comparable in all instances to that reported by other companies.
To compensate for these limitations, the company believes it is important to consider both net income determined under GAAP and Adjusted Net Income.

Cash General and Administrative Expenses
Cash General and Administrative Expenses (Cash G&A) is the difference between GAAP G&A and non-Cash G&A, which is primarily comprised of non-cash compensation expense. Rex Energy has reported Cash G&A because it believes that this measure is commonly reported and widely used by management and investors as an indicator of overhead efficiency without regard to non-cash expenditures, such as stock compensation. Cash G&A is not a calculation based on GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP G&A in measuring the company’s performance. You should carefully consider the specific items included in the company’s computation of this measure. You are cautioned that Cash G&A as reported by Rex Energy may not be comparable in all instances to that reported by other companies.
To compensate for these limitations, the company believes it is important to consider both Cash G&A and GAAP G&A. The following table presents a reconciliation of Rex Energy’s GAAP G&A to its Cash G&A for each of the periods presented (in thousands):
