HOUSTON, Nov. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Halcón Resources Corporation (NYSE:HK) (“Halcón” or the “Company”) today announced its third quarter 2017 results, provided an update on recent well results and operations and provided financial guidance for 2018.

Production for the three months ended September 30, 2017 averaged 28,859 barrels of oil equivalent per day (Boe/d).  Production was comprised of 76% oil, 12% natural gas liquids (NGLs) and 12% natural gas for the quarter. 

Halcón generated total revenues of $97.0 million for the third quarter of 2017.  The Company reported net income available to common stockholders of $419.3 million for the quarter.  Halcón also reported net income per basic and diluted share of $2.85 and $2.82, respectively, for the third quarter of 2017.  After adjusting for selected items (see Selected Item Review and Reconciliation table for additional information), the Company generated a net loss of $9.0 million, or $(0.06) per diluted share for the third quarter of 2017.  Adjusted EBITDA (see EBITDA Reconciliation table for additional information) totaled $54.5 million for the third quarter of 2017. 

Excluding the impact of hedges, Halcón realized 91% of the average NYMEX oil price, 34% of the average NYMEX oil price for NGLs and 51% of the average NYMEX natural gas price during the third quarter of 2017.  Realized hedge proceeds totaled approximately $8.8 million for the third quarter. 

Total operating costs per unit, after adjusting for selected items (see Selected Operating Data table for additional information), were $19.30 per Boe during the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $17.33 per Boe for the same period in 2016.  This increase in per unit total operating costs was primarily driven by the loss of economies of scale related to reduced year over year production driven by the Company’s divestiture of both its Williston Basin operated assets and its El Halcón assets. 

Asset Sales

As previously announced, the Company closed on the sale of its operated Williston Basin assets for $1.4 billion in cash on September 7, 2017.  Halcón also closed on the previously announced sale of its non-operated Williston Basin asset for ~$105 million on November 9, 2017.  UBS Investment Bank advised the Company on this asset divestiture.  After these divestitures, Halcón’s remaining assets in the Delaware Basin are currently producing approximately 5,500 Boe/d. 

Liquidity and Capital Spending 

As of September 30, 2017, Halcón’s liquidity was $646 million pro forma for the sale of the remaining non-operated Williston Basin assets, the closing of the redemption of 50% of its outstanding 6.75% unsecured notes and the exercise of an option to acquire 8,320 net acres in its Northern Monument Draw area.  This liquidity consists of $549 million of cash on hand plus an undrawn senior secured revolving credit facility with a borrowing base of $100 million less letters of credit outstanding. 

During the third quarter of 2017, Halcón incurred capital costs of approximately $103 million on drilling and completions, $11 million on infrastructure and seismic and $15 million on acquisitions and leasing.      

Hedging Update

As of November 9, 2017, Halcón had 5,413 barrels per day (bbl/d) of oil hedged for the last three months of 2017 at an average price of $59.02 per barrel.  For 2018, the Company has 9,510 bbl/d of oil hedged at an average price of $52.65 per barrel.  For 2019, the Company has 3,247 bbl/d of oil hedged at an average price of $52.31 per barrel.  Halcón also has Midland vs. Cushing basis differential swaps in place for 10,526 bbl/d in 2018 at an average swap price of -$1.23 per barrel and 12,000 bbl/d in 2019 at an average swap price of -$1.02 per barrel.

As of November 9, 2017, Halcón had 5,000 million British thermal units per day (MMBtu/d) of natural gas hedged for the last three months of 2017 at an average price of $3.51 per MMBtu.  The Company also had 7,500 MMBtu/d of natural gas hedged in 2018 at an average price of $3.16 per MMBtu. 

Operations Update

Halcón’s Hackberry Draw area in Pecos County consists of 26,453 net acres and 24 producing horizontal wells (22 Wolfcamp A and 2 Wolfcamp B).  The Company’s  Monument Draw area in Ward and Winkler Counties consists of 17,266 net acres and one producing upper Wolfcamp horizontal well.

Halcón currently has three operated rigs running, one dedicated frac fleet and one spot frac fleet completing wells in both its Hackberry Draw and Monument Draw areas.  The Company plans to keep three operated rigs and one dedicated frac fleet running across its two operating areas for the remainder of 2017 and into 2018.  Halcón also plans to bring a spot frac fleet to complete wells from time to time throughout 2018. 

Halcón is currently drilling a Third Bone Spring well and two Wolfcamp A wells.  The Company is flowing back two Wolfcamp B wells after completion, is currently completing one Wolfcamp A and one Wolfcamp B well and has five additional wells waiting on completion (one Wolfcamp B and four Wolfcamp A).  Halcón expects to spud an additional seven wells through year-end 2017 (six Wolfcamp A and one Wolfcamp B).  The Company plans to complete and put online three additional horizontal wells before year-end (one Wolfcamp B and two Wolfcamp A) for a total of eight Halcón operated horizontal wells put online and producing by year end 2017.

The Company recently completed two ~10,000 foot lateral wells in Hackberry Draw, the Ethel Jesper East 1H (Wolfcamp A) and the Berkley State East 2H (Wolfcamp B). After being put online in early October, the Ethel Jesper East 1H reached a peak 24-hour IP rate of 1,344 boe/d. The most recent 20-day rate on this well is 780 boe/d and this rate continues to increase (81% oil on a 2-stream basis). This well’s early performance is better than the offsetting Faye West Unit 1H (Wolfcamp A) which was put online in early 2016 and has an estimated EUR of 1.2 million boe (Mmboe). The Berkley State East 2H well is still cleaning up after frac. Halcón’s first operated well in Hackberry Draw, the Balbo Adrianna 1H well, which was also the first Wolfcamp B well drilled on the Company’s acreage, has been online for more than three months and continues to produce in excess of 1,000 boe/d and is estimated to have an EUR in excess of 1.3 Mmboe. 

In the Monument Draw area, the Company is currently completing the Sealy Ranch 9301 1H well (~10,000 foot lateral upper Wolfcamp) on Halcon’s  Northern Option acreage.  The Northern Option acreage consists of 8,320 net acres held under an option contract while 6,720 net acres in the southern portion of Monument Draw are owned outright by Halcón.  The Company expects to have production data on the Sealy Ranch 9301 1H well in the coming weeks and plans to exercise the option on the northern acreage by December 31, 2017 at a cost of approximately $108 million. 

Floyd C. Wilson, Halcón’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President commented, “Our 2017 acquisition, divestment and financing activities have set us up to deliver strong, responsible growth over the next several years.  Our 2018 guidance assumes a three rig program and results in year over year pro forma production growth of 280%.  If we were to keep three rigs running through 2019, we would expect to achieve cash flow neutrality by the end of 2019 while generating significant growth with production of around 35,000 boe/d by year end 2019.  Higher oil prices would shorten the time to our achieving cash flow neutrality.  All of this can be accomplished without the need for additional capital while keeping our leverage levels very low.  We continue to like the performance we are seeing in our wells in addition to the wells of offset operators near our acreage positions.  Our drilling plans over the next year include a combination of development drilling, spacing tests, some delineation drilling in Monument Draw and a bit of drilling to hold acreage in Hackberry Draw.  In addition, we plan to test the Bone Spring in both areas over the next 6 months.  2018 will be an exciting year for Halcón as we focus on execution.”

These risks include, but are not limited to, those set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and other filings submitted by the Company to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), copies of which may be obtained from the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or through the Company's website at www.halconresources.com. Readers should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which are made only as of the date hereof. The Company has no duty, and assumes no obligation, to update forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or changes in the Company's expectations.

Total operating costs, as adjusted(4)		$	19.30			$	17.33			$	18.83			$	17.12
(2) General and administrative, as adjusted, is a non-GAAP measure that excludes non-cash share-based compensation charges relating to equity awards under our incentive stock plans, as well as cash charges associated with transactions, key employee retention agreements and other costs incurred in connection with our restructuring. The Company believes that it is useful to understand the effects that these charges have on general and administrative expenses and total operating costs and that exclusion of such charges is useful for comparison to prior periods.
(3) Gathering and other, as adjusted, is a non-GAAP measure that excludes rig termination and stacking charges incurred as a result of reductions in our drilling activities due to a dramatic decline in oil and natural gas prices beginning in 2014. The Company believes that it is useful to understand the effects that these charges have on gathering and other expense and total operating costs and that exclusion of such charges is useful for comparison to prior periods.
(4) Represents lease operating, workover and other expense, taxes other than income, gathering and other expense and general and administrative costs per Boe, adjusted for items noted in reconciliation above.
(5) For illustrative purposes, the Company has combined the Successor and Predecessor results to derive combined results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 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.
