HOUSTON, Nov. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Apache Corporation (NYSE, Nasdaq: APA) today announced that non-cash charges resulted in a third-quarter 2014 net loss of $1.3 billion or $3.50 per diluted common share. Adjusted earnings, which exclude certain items that impact the comparability of results, totaled $528 million or $1.38 per share. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $1.9 billion in the third quarter of 2014, with cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities totaling $2.1 billion.

Apache's third-quarter net loss was the result of three non-cash charges:

An $814 million U.S. deferred tax charge related to the company's change in policy and outlook regarding the permanent reinvestment of its foreign earnings;
A $249 million income tax expense related to the repatriation of cash from its Egyptian operations during the third quarter; and
A $1 billion after-tax reduction in the carrying value of its oil and gas properties driven by lower oil and natural gas liquids price realizations and the previously announced deep water sale.

"Our North American onshore regions delivered another strong quarter as we continued to execute our strategy to profitably grow North American liquids production," said G. Steven Farris, Apache chairman, chief executive officer and president. "Liquids production increased 5 percent from the second quarter and 15 percent from the prior-year quarter when adjusted for asset sales.

"We are excited about the progress we have made in North America thus far in 2014, particularly in the Permian and Eagle Ford. Our Permian Region continues to deliver impressive liquids growth increasing 26 percent from the prior year quarter," Farris said. "In our Eagle Ford program we spud 29 wells during the quarter and have now ramped to 10 rigs. We anticipate this region will be a key contributor to profitable liquids growth going forward."

Apache is advancing its unconventional resource capabilities and high-grading its North American onshore portfolio. During the third quarter, the company opportunistically invested $521 million in new leasehold and property acquisitions. In addition, the company is currently marketing non-core North American asset packages as part of its portfolio high-grading initiative and continues to acquire acreage in key growth areas.

"Our international businesses also delivered during the quarter with strong drilling results in Egypt, first oil production from Balnaves in Australia and a successful turnaround season in the North Sea," Farris said. "We have built premier businesses in each of these regions and remain highly committed to the strategic separation of these assets. We will provide an update as material events unfold."

During the quarter, Apache returned capital to shareholders through the purchase of an additional 5.7 million shares of its common stock on the open market. This brings total shares repurchased as of Sept. 30 to approximately 32 million of the 40 million shares authorized. Apache continues to see share buy-backs as an attractive use of capital.

Third-quarter 2014 production and operating highlights

Highlights from the third-quarter include:

North American onshore regions increased liquids production to approximately 211,000 barrels per day, an increase of 28,000 barrels per day or 15 percent from the prior-year period when adjusted for asset sales.
The Permian Region achieved record production of approximately 162,000 boe per day, up 23 percent from the prior-year period. The region averaged 42 operated rigs during the quarter and drilled 195 gross operated wells.
Total reported worldwide net daily production of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) averaged 637,000 boe per day, with pro forma production averaging 562,000 boe per day, up 6 percent from the prior year.
Balnaves, a floating production, storage and offloading project in Australia, commenced production during the quarter and is currently producing at approximately 12,000 barrels of oil per day (net).

Oil and gas prices

Apache's hydrocarbon production during the third-quarter 2014 consisted of approximately 60 percent liquids and 40 percent natural gas. Liquids contributed 84 percent of the company's revenue during the period. In North America onshore, Apache received an average price of $90.30 per barrel of crude oil during the third quarter, compared with $103.44 per barrel in the prior-year period. North American onshore natural gas prices averaged $3.97 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf), compared with $3.26 per Mcf in the prior-year period. Globally, Apache received an average price of $94.69 per barrel of crude oil during the third quarter, compared with $108.27 per barrel in the prior-year period. Global natural gas prices averaged $3.88 per Mcf of natural gas, compared with $3.56 per Mcf in the prior-year period.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, Apache has oil hedges covering 62,500 barrels per day at an average West Texas Intermediate price of $90.83 per barrel and 62,500 barrels per day at an average Brent price of $100.05 per barrel.

PRO FORMA PRODUCTION INFORMATION

Pro forma production excludes certain items that management believes affect the comparability of operating results for the periods presented. Pro forma production excludes production attributable to assets that have been divested (in the Gulf of Mexico shelf, Argentina, Canada, and South Texas), production attributable to a noncontrolling interest in our Egypt oil and gas business, and Egypt tax barrels. Management uses pro forma production to evaluate the company's operational trends and performance and believes it is useful to investors and other third parties.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited)

Reconciliation of income attributable to common stock to adjusted earnings:

Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted earnings generally exclude certain items that management believes affect the comparability of operating results or are not related to Apache's ongoing operations. Management uses adjusted earnings to evaluate the company's operational trends and performance relative to other oil and gas companies. Management believes this presentation may be useful to investors who follow the practice of some industry analysts who adjust reported company earnings for items that may obscure underlying fundamentals and trends.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited)
(In millions, except per share data)


Reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to cash from continuing operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities:
Cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities is a non-GAAP financial measure. Apache uses it internally and provides the information because management believes it is useful for investors and widely accepted by those following the oil and gas industry as a financial indicator of a company's ability to generate cash to internally fund exploration and development activities, fund dividend programs, and service debt. It is also used by research analysts to value and compare oil and gas exploration and production companies and is frequently included in published research when providing investment recommendations. Cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities, therefore, is an additional measure of liquidity but is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities.

The following table reconciles net cash provided by operating activities to cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities.

		For the Quarter		For the Nine Months
		Ended September 30,		Ended September 30,
		2014	2013	2014	2013
