Goodrich Petroleum Announces Recent Developments and First Quarter 2019 Financial Results
HOUSTON, May 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Goodrich Petroleum Corporation (NYSE American: GDP) (the "Company") today announced recent developments and financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The Company has a commitment, subject to definitive documentation, from a group of lenders with respect to a new Senior Credit Facility (the "New Credit Facility") with an initial borrowing base of $115 million, representing a $40 million increase over the borrowing base in the Company's existing credit facility. The New Credit Facility is expected to have terms and conditions comparable to those in the Company's existing credit facility and is expected to close in mid-May 2019.
Upon closing of the New Credit Facility, the Company currently plans to redeem its existing Convertible Second Lien Notes for approximately $56.9 million and issue $12.0 million of new Second Lien Notes (the "New 2L Notes"), subject to definitive documentation. The New 2L Notes are expected to have a tenor of two years and be prepayable at the Company's option during the first year following issuance at 101% of par value or at par value in year two. Similar to the existing Convertible Second Lien Notes, interest on the New 2L Notes is expected to be paid-in-kind at a rate of 13.5% per annum.
Production for the first quarter averaged approximately 104,000 Mcfe per day, an increase of 182% from the previous year and 5% sequentially. The Company added two wells in the middle of the first quarter which provided the growth in production for the quarter. Since the end of the first quarter, the Company has added to production two wells with 7,500 foot laterals, its Loftus 27&22 No. 1 & 2 (97% WI) wells, at a combined 24-hour peak rate of over 50,000 Mcfe per day and one well with a 4,600 foot lateral, its MSR Hunt 5H-1 (62% WI) well, at a peak 24-hour rate of approximately 17,000 Mcfe per day. With the results from these wells, the Company has exceeded its midpoint of yearly guidance and expects to average 135,000 – 142,000 Mcfe per day in the second quarter.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense totaled $3.7 million in the quarter, which includes cash interest of $0.5 million incurred on the credit facility and non-cash interest of $3.2 million incurred on the Company's second lien notes, which includes $1.8 million paid in-kind interest and $1.4 million amortization of debt discount and issuance costs.

(See accompanying table at the end of this press release that reconciles interest payable in cash, which is a non-US GAAP financial measure, to its most directly comparable US GAAP financial measure.)
CRUDE OIL AND NATURAL GAS DERIVATIVES
The Company had a loss of $1.0 million on its derivatives not designated as hedges in the quarter, which is comprised of a loss of $1.8 million on cash settlements offset by a $0.8 million gain representing the change of the fair value of our open natural gas and oil derivative contracts, versus a total loss of $1.0 million on its derivatives not designated as hedges in the prior year period, which was comprised of a loss of $0.6 million representing the change in fair value of our open natural gas and oil derivative contracts as well as a $0.4 million loss on cash settlements. During the quarter, the Company added natural gas swaps through March 31, 2020 for 30,000 Mmbtu per day at $2.951 per Mcf.
BALANCE SHEET
The Company exited the quarter with $32 million outstanding under the Company's senior credit facility (which had a borrowing base of $75 million with an elected draw limit of $50 million), and total principal debt outstanding, including the senior credit facility and second lien notes, of $87.5 million.
OTHER INFORMATION
In this press release, the Company refers to several non-US GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and DCF. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and DCF are good financial indicators of the Company's performance and ability to internally generate operating funds. DCF should not be considered an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities, as defined by US GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), as defined by US GAAP. Management believes that all of these non-US GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they are monitored and used by Company management and widely used by professional research analysts in the valuation and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and gas exploration and production industry.
Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels. In particular, production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates.
Unless otherwise stated, oil production volumes include condensate.
Certain statements in this news release regarding future expectations and plans for future activities may be regarded as "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Securities Litigation Reform Act. They are subject to various risks, such as financial market conditions, changes in commodities prices and costs of drilling and completion, operating hazards, drilling risks, and the inherent uncertainties in interpreting engineering data relating to underground accumulations of oil and gas, as well as other risks discussed in detail in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and other subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. There is no assurance that the New Credit Facility or New 2L Notes will close since they are both subject to the negotiation of definitive documentation.
Goodrich Petroleum is an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company listed on the NYSE American under the symbol "GDP".

(1) Discretionary cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities. Management believes that the non-US GAAP measure of discretionary cash flow is useful as an indicator of an oil and natural gas exploration and production company's ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur additional debt. The company has also included this information because changes in operating assets and liabilities relate to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements which the company may not control and may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred. Operating cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net cash provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with US GAAP. |
(2) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income and similar taxes, DD&A, share based compensation expense and impairment of oil and natural gas properties. In calculating adjusted EBITDA, reorganization gains/losses and gains/losses on commodity derivatives not designated as hedges net of cash received or paid in settlement of derivative instruments are also excluded. Other excluded items include interest income and other, adjustments per our 2017 Senior Credit Facility agreement for operating leases under ASC 842 and any other extraordinary non-cash gains/losses. |
(3) Fully diluted shares excludes approximately 1.9 million potentially dilutive instruments that were anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and 4.0 million potentially dilutive instruments that were anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2018. |
