TULSA, Aug. 01, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mid-Con Energy Partners, LP (NASDAQ:MCEP) (“Mid-Con Energy” or the “Partnership”) announces operating and financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.  "The past two quarters have been transformational for the Partnership," commented Jeff Olmstead, President and CEO.  "Our technical team has done an exceptional job of continuing to manage our wells and production in the most efficient way.  To supplement our operating success during the second quarter, we have taken meaningful steps to improve the balance sheet.  In the last week, we closed on the previously announced Hugoton divestiture, and separately entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Permian bolt-on properties to be funded through our previously announced private financing.  The combined effect of recent debt reduction and additional collateral from the pending Permian acquisition, subject to closing, resulted in our lender group committing to a conforming borrowing base.”

SECOND QUARTER 2016 RESULTS

Production - Production for the second quarter of 2016 was 371 MBoe, or 4,077 Boe/d.  On a daily basis, this represents a 4.9% decrease from the first quarter of 2016 and an 11.7% decrease year-over-year.  The decrease in sequential and year-over-year volumes was primarily due to cost saving initiatives that resulted in shutting-in 184 wells during the beginning of 2016 in response to lower commodity prices.  Additionally, sequential variances reflect natural production declines in the Permian core area and election to defer workover expenses for select marginal producing wells.

Price Realizations - Oil and natural gas sales were $14.8 million in the second quarter of 2016, or $39.83/Boe of production.  On a Boe basis, this represents a 37.9% increase from the first quarter of 2016 and a 22.6% decrease year-over-year.  Cash settlements from matured derivatives, inclusive of net premiums, were $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2016 or $7.36/Boe.  Cash settlements from matured derivatives, inclusive of net premiums, for the first quarter of 2016 and the second quarter of 2015 were $17.85/Boe and $5.19/Boe, respectively.

Operating Revenues - Operating revenues, which include cash settlements from matured derivatives, inclusive of net premiums, were $17.5 million, or $47.19/Boe in the second quarter of 2016.  Total operating revenues decreased 3.9% from the previous quarter and decreased 26.4% from the second quarter of 2015.  The negative sequential variance was attributable to 4.9% lower daily production and lower realizations on matured derivatives.  On a year-over-year basis, the negative variance was the result of 11.7% lower daily production and 16.7% lower realized prices.

Lease Operating Expenses - LOE was $5.8 million, or $15.57/Boe, in the second quarter of 2016, representing a slight 0.1% increase from the first quarter of 2016 and a decrease of 14.2% from the second quarter of 2015, on a per Boe basis.  Ongoing cost controls and lower workover expenses resulted in sequential and year-over-year decreases in total LOE of $0.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Production Taxes - Production taxes in the second quarter of 2016 were $0.7 million, or $1.97/Boe, reflecting an effective tax rate of 5.0%.  Production taxes for the first quarter of 2016 were $0.6 million, or $1.52/Boe, for an effective tax rate of 5.3%.  Production taxes for the second quarter of 2015 were $1.3 million, or $3.14/Boe, reflecting an effective tax rate of 6.1%.  The sequential and year-over-year decrease in the effective production tax rate was attributable to a greater proportion of Permian production, which bears a lower state production tax rate, and continued benefit from the Enhanced Oil Recovery Production Tax Exemption approved by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission during mid-year 2015 for one of our Northeastern Oklahoma units.

Impairment Expense - We review our long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved oil and natural gas properties, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount exceeds the property's estimated fair value, we adjust the carrying amount of the property to fair value through a charge to impairment expense.  The Partnership recognized a $4.5 million non-cash impairment charge during the second quarter of 2016, which included a $0.9 million impairment of proved oil and natural gas properties and $3.6 million impairment charge related to Hugoton assets held for sale. There were no impairment charges during the first quarter of 2016 or second quarter of 2015.

Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization Expenses ("DD&A") - DD&A for the second quarter of 2016 was $5.8 million, or $15.63/Boe.  On a per Boe basis, the second quarter of 2016 results reflect a 0.2% increase over the previous quarter and an 19.8% decrease over the second quarter of 2015.  The year-over-year decrease in DD&A per Boe was due to the decline in the carrying value of the underlying assets in our portfolio.

General and Administrative Expenses ("G&A") - G&A during the second quarter of 2016 was $1.5 million, or $3.98/Boe, and included $0.3 million, or $0.70/Boe, in non-cash equity-based compensation expense related to the Partnership’s Long-Term Incentive Program.  G&A for the first quarter of 2016 was $2.1 million, or $5.35/Boe, and included $0.4 million, or $1.00/Boe, in non-cash equity-based compensation.  G&A for the second quarter of 2015 was $1.6 million, or $3.90/Boe, and included $0.4 million, or $0.89/Boe, in non-cash equity-based compensation.  The sequential decrease in G&A per Boe was primarily due to higher professional, legal and accounting fees and higher public reporting expenses related to the 2015 year-end audit and K-1 tax preparation recognized during the first quarter of 2016.  The year-over-year increase in G&A per Boe was primarily due to lower production.

Net Interest Expense - Net interest expense for the second quarter of 2016 was $2.1 million, or $5.53/Boe, a 1.8% decrease from the first quarter of 2016 and a 27.1% increase from the second quarter of 2015, on a Boe basis.  The year-over-year increase in net interest expense on a per Boe basis reflects lower production volumes in addition to a higher pricing grid established during the Fall 2015 borrowing base redetermination.  The average effective interest rate approximated 4.13% for the second quarter of 2016, compared to 4.17% for the first quarter of 2016 and 2.95% for the second quarter of 2015.

Net Loss - For the second quarter of 2016, Mid-Con Energy reported a net loss of $15.8 million.  Net loss as reported represents $0.52 per limited partner unit, based on an average of 29.8 million outstanding and fully diluted ("FD") limited partner units during the second quarter of 2016.  Net loss for the first quarter of 2016 was $3.3 million, or $0.11 per limited partner unit, based on an average of 29.8 million outstanding and FD limited partner units during the period.  For the second quarter of 2015, net loss was $7.9 million, or $0.26 per limited partner unit, based on an average of 29.7 million outstanding and FD limited partner units during the period.  The negative sequential variance was primarily attributable to the unfavorable net effect of our derivatives and non-cash impairment charges incurred during the second quarter of 2016.  On a year-over-year basis, the negative variance was due to lower oil and natural gas revenues, the unfavorable net effect of our derivatives and higher impairment charges partially offset by lower LOE, production taxes, and DD&A.  

Adjusted EBITDA - Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP measure, for the second quarter of 2016 was $11.6 million, or $31.35/Boe.  The second quarter of 2016 results were 8.7% below the previous quarter of $34.35/Boe and 2.0% above the second quarter of 2015 of $30.75/Boe.  Adjusted EBITDA decreased sequentially due to lower operating revenues, which included lower cash settlements from matured derivatives and lower production partially offset by lower LOE, production taxes, and G&A.  On a year-over-year basis, the positive variance was attributable to lower LOE, production taxes, and G&A partially offset by lower production and operating revenues.

Distributable Cash Flow ("DCF") - DCF, a Non-GAAP measure, for the second quarter of 2016 was $8.6 million after subtracting $1.8 million in cash interest expense and $1.2 million in estimated maintenance capital expenditures from Adjusted EBITDA.  Relative to the first quarter of 2016 and the second quarter of 2015, DCF decreased 17.4% and decreased 2.0%, respectively.  DCF per unit was $0.284, based on 29.8 million limited partner units and 360,000 general partner units outstanding as of August 1, 2016.

HEDGING SUMMARY
Mid-Con Energy enters into various commodity derivative contracts intended to achieve more predictable cash flows by reducing the Partnership's exposure to short-term fluctuations in the price of oil and natural gas.  We believe this risk management strategy will serve to secure a baseline portion of our revenues and, by retaining some opportunity to participate in upward price movements, may also enable us to realize higher revenues during periods when prices rise.

Pursuant to Amendment No. 9 to the credit agreement, the Partnership completed a hedge restructuring on July 1, 2016, which resulted in the early monetization of existing commodity derivative contracts covering production for the months of July 2016 to September 2016.  The Partnership replaced volumes restructured with at-the-market swap contracts in equal amounts.  Net restructuring proceeds were used to reduce borrowings outstanding under the Partnership's revolving credit facility.

As of August 1, 2016, the following unaudited table reflects volumes of Mid-Con Energy's production hedged by commodity derivative contracts, with the corresponding prices at which the production is hedged:

HUGOTON DIVESTITURE CLOSING
On July 28, 2016, Mid-Con Energy closed its previously announced sale of oil and natural gas assets within the Hugoton area to PO&G Panhandle, LP, an affiliate of P.O.&G. Resources, LP, at a contract price of $18.0 million, subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments.  Net divestiture proceeds were used to reduce borrowings outstanding under the Partnership's revolving credit facility.

PERMIAN BOLT-ON ACQUISITION
On August 1, 2016, Mid-Con Energy, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Mid-Con Energy Properties, LLC announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire net proved oil and natural gas reserves estimated at 1.5 million barrels of oil equivalent ("MMBoe")  for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $19.5 million.  The acquisition is subject to customary post-closing adjustments and is expected to close on or before August 12, 2016 with an effective date of June 1, 2016. The acquisition will be funded through our previously announced private financing from investors including affiliates of Bonanza Capital, Investor John Goff, and Swank Capital.

DEBT AND LIQUIDITY SUMMARY
The Partnership announced results of its spring 2016 borrowing base redetermination on May 31, 2016, which resulted in an initial $110.0 million conforming borrowing base and $53.0 million permitted overadvance effective June 1, 2016.  At June 30, 2016, debt outstanding was approximately $162.0 million and total liquidity included $4.0 million of available cash.

After giving effect to net proceeds received from the July 2016 hedge restructuring and closing of the Hugoton divestiture, Mid-Con Energy reduced debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility by an additional $22.7 million since quarter end.  As of August 1, 2016, debt outstanding totaled approximately $139.3 million.  Effective upon closing of the Permian asset purchase, the Partnership previously announced that it had received unanimous lender support to increase the pro forma conforming borrowing base of its revolving credit facility to $140.0 million subject to execution of Amendment No. 10 to the credit agreement.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release, financial tables and other supplemental information include “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Distributable Cash Flow,” each of which are non-generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP”) measures used by our management to describe financial performance with external users of our financial statements.

The Partnership believes the Non-GAAP financial measures described above are useful to investors because these measurements are used by many companies in its industry as a measurement of financial performance and are commonly employed by financial analysts and others to evaluate the financial performance of the Partnership and to compare the financial performance of the Partnership with the performance of other publicly traded partnerships within its industry.
