FRISCO, Texas, Nov. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Comstock Resources, Inc. ("Comstock" or the "Company") (NYSE: CRK) today reported financial and operating results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Financial Results for the Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
Comstock reported a net loss of $24.0 million or 52¢ per share for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to a loss from continuing operations of $44.2 million or 95¢ per share for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The third quarter of 2013 results include an unrealized loss from derivative financial instruments of $3.8 million ($2.5 million after tax or 5¢ per share), an impairment of unevaluated leases of $3.0 million ($1.9 million after tax or 4¢ per share), and a loss of $2.2 million ($1.4 million after tax or 3¢ per share) from oil and gas property sales and settlements. Results for the three months ended September 30, 2012 included an unrealized loss from derivative financial instruments of $11.1 million ($7.2 million after tax or 16¢ per share), an impairment of unevaluated leases of $1.4 million ($0.9 million after tax or 2¢ per share), and a loss of $2.8 million ($1.8 million after tax or 4¢ per share) from the sale of oil and gas properties.
Comstock's production in the third quarter of 2013 included 632,000 barrels of oil and 13.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas or 17.4 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent ("Bcfe"). Oil production in the third quarter averaged 6,870 barrels of oil per day, which increased 14% from the 6,048 barrels per day produced in the second quarter of 2013, and was 30% higher than oil production in the third quarter of 2012 of 5,295 barrels per day. Gas production in the quarter declined 32% from the same period in 2012 due to the lack of drilling activity in the Company's Haynesville shale natural gas properties.

Operating cash flow (before changes in working capital accounts) was $62.9 million in the third quarter of 2013, which represented a 5% increase as compared to operating cash flow from continuing operations of $59.7 million in the third quarter of 2012. EBITDAX, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, exploration expense and other noncash expenses, of $81.8 million in the third quarter of 2013, increased 11% over EBITDAX from continuing operations of $73.7 million in the third quarter of 2012.
Comstock reported net income of $78.5 million, or $1.63 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to a net loss of $21.9 million or 47¢ per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. $148.6 million, or $3.08 per share, is related to the Company's West Texas operations that were sold on May 14, 2013, which resulted in a gain of $230.6 million ($149.9 million after tax).

2013 Drilling Results
Comstock reported on the results to date of its 2013 drilling program related to its continuing operations which is focused on developing its Eagle Ford oil shale properties in South Texas. During the first nine months of 2013, Comstock spent $234.1 million on its continuing development and exploration activities and $14.5 million on acreage acquisition costs. Comstock drilled 47 horizontal oil wells (31.6 net) and two horizontal natural gas wells (2.0 net) and had 11 oil wells (8.3 net) in various stages of drilling at September 30, 2013. For all of 2013 Comstock expects to spend $345 million to drill 78 horizontal wells (51.6 net). Comstock is also budgeting to spend $140 million in 2013 to acquire additional acreage including bolt-on acreage to its successful Eagle Ford shale play in South Texas as well as exploratory acreage in several emerging oil plays.
Since the beginning of 2013, the Company has completed 42 (26.4 net) horizontal Eagle Ford shale wells including six (3.8 net) wells drilled in 2012. The 42 Eagle Ford shale wells that were completed had an average per well initial production rate of 793 barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") per day. Comstock completed 17 Eagle Ford shale wells in the third quarter. The four third quarter wells with the highest initial production rates were the Swenson C #4H, Forrest Wheeler D #1H and the Swenson #7H and #8H which are all located in McMullen County, Texas. These wells had initial production rates of 1,033, 1,128, 1,021 and 1,190 BOE per day, respectively.
