Gulfport Energy Corporation (GPOR) Investigation:
The investigation concerns the propriety of Gulfport's accounting policies relating to the Company's oil and gas properties.
In past quarters, Gulfport represented that it complied with GAAP and affirmed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting.
But on Feb. 27, 2020, Gulfport disclosed that its previously issued financial statements for the three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2019 contained material misstatements and should not be relied upon. The Company's restated financial results contain shockingly large adjustments to previously reported results. For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2019, Gulfport admitted it (1) understated its accumulated depletion, depreciation, amortization and impairment by $553 million, (2) overstated its income from operations by $553 million, and (3) overstated its net income by $436 million.
This news drove the price of Gulfport shares sharply lower that day.
"We're focused on investors' losses and whether Gulfport intentionally misled investors with its admittedly faulty asset and expense accounting," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
