Extraction Oil & Gas, Inc. (XOG) Investigation:
The investigation centers on whether Extraction Oil & Gas misled investors by engaging in improper revenue recognition practices and reporting false financial results.
On Sept. 4, 2019, Extraction Oil & Gas announced the abrupt resignation of its CFO Russell Kelley. This news drove the price of the XOG shares sharply lower the next day.
Then, on Dec. 23, 2019, the Company filed an amended quarterly report for the quarter ended Sep. 30, 2019. The Company admitted that it overstated quarterly revenues by over $20 million, or 11.5%. The Company also disclosed that it had overstated quarterly net income by over $14 million, or a whopping 42%. The Company claimed the accounting error resulted from using an improper contract term for one of its revenue contracts. Specifically, the Company had improperly accounted for revenue relating to the contract through August 2023, when the contract could be terminated with no penalty in April 2021. This news drove the price of XOG shares lower the next trading day.
"We're focused on investors' losses and whether the Company intentionally inflated its revenues," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
