- Drilling and completion cycle times for the extended reach lateral ("XRL") program improved 28% compared to 2016 led by efficiency gains
- 2017 production guidance increased to 6.9-7.1 MMBoe; represents 21% growth over 2016 at the mid-point, excluding 2016 asset sales
- Commenced marketed sales process to divest of Uinta Oil Program assets
Bill Barrett Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE: BBG) today reported third quarter of 2017 financial and operating results and updated 2017 operating guidance, including higher production and lower LOE.
For the third quarter of 2017, the Company reported a net loss of $28.8 million, or $0.39 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2017 was a net loss of $5.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share. EBITDAX for the third quarter of 2017 was $47.9 million. Adjusted net income (loss) and EBITDAX are non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures. Please reference the reconciliations to GAAP financial statements at the end of this release.
Commenting on the quarterly results, Chief Executive Officer and President Scot Woodall stated, "We delivered another outstanding quarter of results that was highlighted by 26% sequential production growth, 33% sequential growth in oil volumes, tighter oil differentials, an 18% sequential decrease in LOE, and capital spending that was below guidance. As these results demonstrate, our execution is strong with early positive results from our enhanced completion program meeting or exceeding our base XRL type-curve. Current planned activity underpins a further increase in our production outlook and a corresponding decrease in LOE as outlined by our updated guidance. We now anticipate 2017 production growing over 20% relative to 2016 and expect to generate greater than 30% growth in 2018. This builds significant momentum as we head into 2018 with higher associated cash flow and EBITDAX generation. We recently initiated a marketed sales process to divest of our Uinta Oil Program assets and, if successful, anticipate a sale announcement prior to year-end. Proceeds will increase liquidity and help fund expected activity in 2018. We are in a good financial position with current liquidity consisting of a cash position in excess of $150 million and an undrawn credit facility that is supported by an underlying hedge position."

Oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids ("NGL") production totaled approximately 1.92 MMBoe in the third quarter of 2017. Third quarter production surpassed guidance of 1.75 MMBoe by 10% and represents a 23% increase compared to the third quarter of 2016 and a 26% increase compared to the second quarter of 2017.
Oil volumes totaled approximately 1.2 MMBbls in the third quarter, representing an 18% increase compared to the third quarter of 2016 and a 33% increase compared to the second quarter of 2017.
Higher production sales volumes were driven by an improvement in drilling and completion cycle times and positive results from the Company's enhanced completion program in the DJ Basin.
Third quarter production was comprised of approximately 63% oil, 20% natural gas and 17% NGLs.

LOE averaged $3.08 per Boe in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $3.06 per Boe in the third quarter of 2016 and $3.61 per Boe in the second quarter of 2017. The 15% reduction in LOE compared to the second quarter of 2017 is attributable to increased operating efficiencies and higher production sales volumes.
Production tax expense averaged $2.80 per Boe in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $2.45 per Boe in the third quarter of 2016 and $2.25 per Boe in the second quarter of 2017. Higher production tax expense in the third quarter of 2017 was primarily attributable to higher average realized oil prices relative to the comparable quarters. Production taxes totaled 8% of pre-hedge revenues for the third quarter of 2017 compared to 7.6% of pre-hedge revenues for the third quarter of 2016.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") averaged $22.52 per Boe in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $27.51 per Boe in the third quarter of 2016 and $25.78 per Boe in the second quarter of 2017. Lower DD&A on a per unit basis for the third quarter of 2017 was primarily the result of proved reserves added at lower costs.

Debt and Liquidity
At September 30, 2017, the principal debt balance was $677.4 million, while cash and cash equivalents were $155.9 million, resulting in net debt (principal balance of debt outstanding less the cash and cash equivalents balance) of $521.5 million. Cash and cash equivalents were reduced subsequent to the end of the quarter as the Company made a regularly scheduled interest payment in October 2017 of approximately $14 million related to its Senior Notes due 2022.
The Company's semi-annual borrowing base review was completed in October 2017 with no changes to the terms or conditions of the $300 million credit facility. There are no borrowings outstanding and $274 million in available capacity after taking into account a $26 million letter of credit.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2017 totaled $56.8 million, which was 19% below the midpoint of the Company's guidance range of $65-$75 million. Lower than anticipated capital expenditures were primarily the result of improved drilling and completion efficiencies that have offset service cost increases. The Company operated two drilling rigs for the quarter and spud 26 extended reach lateral ("XRL") wells in the DJ Basin. Completion operations were conducted on 19 XRL wells.
OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
DJ Basin
The Company produced an average of 18,508 Boe/d in the third quarter of 2017, representing 28% sequential growth. Eleven XRL wells were placed on initial flowback during the third quarter and two drilling rigs are currently operating in the basin. The Company continues to see improving well results from its enhanced completion program that has evolved to include approximately 1,500 pounds of sand per lateral foot and frac stage spacing of approximately 120 feet. In addition, the Company incorporated modifications to its choke management program on recent drilling and spacing units ("DSU") that are anticipated to result in peak production being achieved earlier in the production cycle. Performance from the 2017 enhanced completion program continues to meet or exceed the Company's base XRL type-curve of 600 MBoe.
The following provides a synopsis of the current activity for the DSUs that are in the drilling and completion or initial flowback phase:
- 5-63-32 - The DSU is located within the western area of NE Wattenberg and includes 5 XRL wells. Initial flowback began in the third quarter of 2017. The wells incorporated enhanced completion and flowback methods. Early production is currently tracking above the Company's base XRL type curve.
- 5-63-30 - The DSU is located within the western area of NE Wattenberg and includes 6 XRL wells. Initial flowback began in the third quarter of 2017. The wells incorporated enhanced completion and flowback methods. Early production is currently tracking above the Company's base XRL type curve.
- 5-61-20 - The DSU is located within the central area of NE Wattenberg and includes 8 XRL wells. Completion operations have commenced and the wells are expected to be placed on initial flowback in the fourth quarter of 2017.
- 4-62-29/32 - The DSUs are located within the southern area of NE Wattenberg and includes 10 XRL wells per DSU. Completion operations commenced in October 2017.
- 3-62-4 - The DSU is located within the southern area of NE Wattenberg and includes 10 XRL wells. Drilling operations commenced in October 2017.
The Company continues to achieve drilling and completion efficiencies on its XRL well program that have resulted in a 28% average year-over-year improvement in 2017 cycle times leading to increased stages completed and pounds of sand pumped per day. This has been primarily achieved through a 37% improvement in the number of frac stages completed per day and a 27% improvement in the number of days required to drill out frac plugs.
Drilling and completion costs for XRL wells drilled during the first nine months of 2017 have averaged approximately $4.7 million per well, which includes the cost of incorporating higher proppant concentrations and tighter frac stage spacing.
Uinta Oil Program
Production sales volumes averaged 2,333 Boe/d (91% oil) during the third quarter of 2017. The oil price differential averaged $2.41 per barrel less than WTI as new marketing contracts became effective on May 1, 2017.
The Company has commenced a marketed sales process to divest of its Uinta Oil Program assets and, if successful, it is anticipated that a sale would be announced in the fourth quarter of 2017.
2017 OPERATING GUIDANCE
The Company is providing the following update to its 2017 operating guidance. See "Forward-Looking Statements" below.
- Capital expenditures of $250-$270 million, unchanged
- Fourth quarter capital expenditures are expected to total $80-$90 million. Higher capital expenditures compared to the third quarter of 2017 are due to increased completion activity associated with a two-rig drilling program.
- Production of 6.9-7.1 MMBoe, increased from a previous guidance range of 6.4-6.6 MMBoe to reflect actual production sales volumes for the first nine months of 2017 and anticipated production for the fourth quarter of 2017
- Fourth quarter production sales volumes are expected to approximate 2.0-2.2 MMBoe
- Fourth quarter production is expected to be weighted approximately 63% oil
- Lease operating expense of $24-$25 million, narrowed from a previous guidance range of $24-$26 million due to further operational efficiencies
- General and administrative expenses of $32-$33 million, narrowed from a previous range of $30-$33 million due to variable employee compensation costs related to performance
- Gathering, transportation and processing costs of $2-$3 million, unchanged
- Unused commitment for firm natural gas transportation charges of $18-$19 million, unchanged

Realized and unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives are presented herein as separate line items but are combined for a total commodity derivative gain (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. This separate presentation is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes the separate presentation of the realized and unrealized commodity derivative gains and losses is useful because the realized cash settlement portion provides a better understanding of the Company's hedge position. The Company also believes that this disclosure allows for a more accurate comparison to its peers. |

| Discretionary cash flow, adjusted net income (loss) and EBITDAX are non-GAAP measures. These measures are presented because management believes that they provide useful additional information to investors for analysis of the Company's ability to internally generate funds for exploration, development and acquisitions as well as adjusting net income (loss) for certain items to allow for a more consistent comparison from period to period. In addition, the Company believes that these measures are widely used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison and investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas exploration and production industry, and that many investors use the published research of industry research analysts in making investment decisions. |
| These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, income from operations, net cash provided by operating activities or other income, profitability, cash flow or liquidity measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The definition of these measures may vary among companies, and, therefore, the amounts presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. |
