Halcón Resources Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2016 Results


HOUSTON, Feb. 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Halcón Resources Corporation (NYSE:HK) (“Halcón” or the “Company”) today announced its fourth quarter and full year 2016 results.

Production for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2016 averaged 38,620 barrels of oil equivalent per day (Boe/d) and 37,049 Boe/d, respectively.  Production was comprised of 76% oil, 12% natural gas liquids (NGLs) and 12% natural gas for the quarter and for the full year.  Halcón’s fourth quarter production was negatively impacted by approximately 800 Boe/d due to inclement weather in the Williston Basin. 

Halcón generated total revenues of $130.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 and $420.2 million for the full year.  Adjusted EBITDA (see EBITDA Reconciliation table for additional information) totaled $131.6 million and $518.6 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2016, respectively. 

Excluding the impact of hedges, Halcón realized 89% of the average NYMEX oil price, 25% of the average NYMEX oil price for NGLs and 80% of the average NYMEX natural gas price during the fourth quarter 2016.  For the full year 2016, excluding the impact of hedges, the Company realized 86% of the average NYMEX oil price, 20% of the average NYMEX oil price for NGLs and 70% of the average NYMEX natural gas price.  Realized hedge proceeds totaled approximately $62 million in the fourth quarter and $330 million for the full year 2016.

Total operating costs per unit, after adjusting for selected items (see Selected Operating Data table for additional information), decreased by 4% to $17.06 per Boe during the three months ended December 31, 2016, compared to the same period of 2015.  Total operating costs per unit for the full year, after adjusting for selected items, were $17.10 per Boe, representing a decrease of 5% compared to the full year 2015. 

After adjusting for selected items (see Selected Item Review and Reconciliation table for additional information), net income was $60.6 million, or $0.66 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2016.  Halcón reported a net loss available to common stockholders of $28.5 million, or $0.31 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2016. 

Liquidity and Capital Spending

As of December 31, 2016 Halcón’s liquidity pro forma for its recently announced acquisitions, divestitures and capital market activities was approximately $699 million, which consisted of cash on hand plus undrawn capacity on the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility which has a $600 million borrowing base.  Halcón is currently working with its senior lenders on its spring 2017 redetermination and expects the borrowing base to be revised to an amount between $600 million and $650 million.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company incurred capital costs of approximately $44 million on drilling and completions, and $8 million on infrastructure, seismic and leasehold acquisitions.  In addition, Halcón incurred less than $2 million for capitalized interest, G&A and other.  

The Company incurred capital costs of $175 million on drilling and completions, $2 million on infrastructure/seismic and $12 million on leasehold acquisitions in 2016.  In addition, Halcón incurred $79 million for capitalized interest, G&A and other.  

Guidance Update

The table below outlines the Company’s financial guidance for the full year 2017.  Halcón has revised its D&C capex guidance for 2017 up to $300 million vs. prior guidance of $280 million.  This increase is driven primarily by changing the drilling plan in Pecos County to drill more longer lateral wells and adding two new wells to its Ward County asset drilling plan based on the positive initial pilot well results.  Halcón expects its first quarter 2017 production to average between 36,000 and 37,000 Boe/d which includes the negative impact of approximately 750 Boe/d from inclement winter weather in the Williston Basin.  The Company expects second quarter production to average between 32,000 and 34,000 Boe/d with the second half of 2017 averaging between 40,000 and 42,000 Boe/d.  Halcón’s production is back-end weighted in 2017 due to the timing of its El Halcón sale and the acquisition of its Delaware Basin assets in addition to the timing of completions in which very few wells are expected to be put online during the first 5 months of 2017.  The first and second quarters are historically light on completion activity in the Williston Basin as the Company tries to plan completions in months where winter weather or the spring thaw is not an issue.

Hedging Update

As of February 28, 2017, Halcón had 18,750 barrels per day of oil hedged for 2017 at an average price of $55.07 per barrel.  For 2018, the Company had 4,000 barrels per day of oil hedged at an average price of $55.25 per barrel. 

Year End 2016 Proved Reserves

The Company's estimated proved reserves as of December 31, 2016 were approximately 148.6 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBoe). Year-end 2016 estimated proved reserves were 80% oil, 11% NGLs and 9% natural gas on an equivalent basis. Of total estimated proved reserves, 76% were in the Williston Basin, 24% were in the East Texas Eagle Ford ("El Halcón") and less than 1% were in other areas. Year-end 2016 estimated proved reserves were approximately 95% Company-operated and 58% proved developed.

Halcón's estimated proved reserves at December 31, 2016 were prepared by the independent reserve engineering firm Netherland, Sewell and Associates, Inc. in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines using average West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil spot price of $42.75 per barrel for oil and Henry Hub natural gas spot price of $2.48 per million British Thermal Unit for natural gas, before adjustments for energy content, quality, midstream fees and basis differentials.

Operations Update

Delaware Basin

As previously announced, Halcón closed today on the acquisition of 20,901 net acres and ~2,600 Boe/d of current production in Pecos County, Texas for $705 million in cash consideration.  Since the announcement, the Company has agreed to acquire additional interests from a non-operating owner in the acreage for $22.3 million.  This incremental acquisition includes 594 additional net acres and ~160 Boe/d of current production and is expected to close in early March.

Halcón has also entered into an option agreement which allows it to purchase up to 15,040 net acres located primarily in Ward County, Texas for a cost of $11,000 per acre.  The Company recently completed drilling a vertical “Pilot” well on the southern tract of the acreage.  The results from this vertical well indicated oil saturation across 1,000 vertical feet from the base of the third Bone Springs carbonate to the base of the Wolfcamp section.  The Company also recently began drilling a horizontal well offsetting the pilot hole in the upper Wolfcamp interval and expects to put this well online in the second quarter of 2017.  Halcón is also planning to drill a vertical pilot well followed by a horizontal well on the northern tract of the acreage in the third quarter of 2017.

Halcón expects to add a second operated rig to the Delaware Basin in March 2017.  The current plan is to run these two rigs primarily in Pecos County during 2017 with just two horizontal wells planned in Ward County.  The Company plans to spud 15 to 25 gross operated wells in the Delaware Basin in 2017 with an average working interest of approximately 67%. Halcón expects to put 10 to 15 gross wells online in 2017 with an average working interest of approximately 76%. 

Williston Basin

Halcón currently has working interests in approximately 121,000 net acres prospective for the Bakken and Three Forks formations in the Williston Basin, substantially all of which is held by production (HBP).

The Company operated an average of 1 rig and 1.25 rigs in the Williston Basin during the fourth quarter and full year 2016, respectively.

Halcón spudded 7 wells and put 16 wells online in the Williston Basin during the three months ended December 31, 2016. The Company also participated in 15 non-operated wells during the quarter with an average working interest of approximately 2.4%. Production averaged 30,797 Boe/d during the fourth quarter of 2016 in the Williston Basin.

For the full year 2016, Halcón spudded 21 wells and put 36 wells online in the Williston Basin. The Company also participated in 22 non-operated wells during the year with an average working interest of approximately 3.2%.

Halcón is currently running 1 operated rig and plans to continue to run this rig on its FBIR acreage throughout 2017.  The Company expects to add a second operated rig beginning in second quarter of 2017.  Halcón plans to drill two pads on FBIR before moving it to Williams County in Q3 of 2017 to drill a five-well pad.  The Company’s average estimated D&C costs for its 2017 drilling plans are $5.9 million in FBIR and $5.4 million in Williams County.

The Company plans to operate an average of 1.75 rigs and spud 45 to 50 gross operated wells in the Williston Basin in 2017 with an average working interest of approximately 72%. Halcón expects to put 30 to 35 gross wells online in 2017 with an average working interest of approximately 78%. Halcón also expects to participate in 100 to 120 gross non-operated wells in 2017 with an average working interest of approximately 1.5%.

The Company is currently the operator of 225 producing Bakken wells and 75 Three Forks wells. Halcón currently has 6 Bakken wells and 4 Three Forks wells being completed or waiting on completion on its operated acreage.

"El Halcón" - East Texas Eagle Ford

As previously announced, Halcón has entered into a purchase and sale agreement to divest its El Halcón assets for $500 million in cash consideration.  This sale is expected to close in early March 2017. 

The Company has had no rigs running in its El Halcón area since the first quarter of 2016.  For the full year 2016, Halcón spudded 2 gross wells and put 7 gross wells online.  Production averaged 6,092 Boe/d during the fourth quarter of 2016.

Fresh Start Accounting

Halcón adopted fresh-start accounting as of September 9, 2016, the effective date of its emergence from chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, resulting in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes.  Upon the adoption of fresh-start accounting, Halcón’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair values as of the fresh-start reporting date, and as a result the Company’s consolidated financial statements subsequent to September 9, 2016 may not be comparable to its financial statements prior to September 9, 2016.  Please review Halcón’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for further details regarding fresh-start accounting and the financial information presented at the end of this release.

(3) For illustrative purposes, the Company has combined the Successor and Predecessor results to derive combined results for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The combination was generated by addition of comparable financial statement line items. However, because of various adjustments to the consolidated financial statements in connection with the application of fresh-start reporting, including asset valuation adjustments and liability adjustments, the results of operations for the Successor may not be comparable to those of the Predecessor. The financial information preceding the table above provides the Successor and the Predecessor GAAP results for the applicable periods.  The Company believes that subject to consideration of the impact of fresh-start reporting, combining the results of the Predecessor and Successor provide meaningful information about, for instance, production, revenues and costs, that assist a reader in understanding the Company’s financial results for the applicable periods.
