UNIT CORPORATION REPORTS 2019 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Tulsa, Oklahoma . . . Unit Corporation (NYSE-UNT) today reported its financial and operational results for the third quarter of 2019. Operational highlights include:

Oil and natural gas segment:
•Segment production increased 6% and capital expenditures decreased 56% during the quarter, as compared to the second quarter.
•Continued focus on increasing oil production, with this quarter's oil production increasing 28% over the second quarter and representing 21% of total equivalent production in the quarter.
•Lease operating expense decreased 11% during the quarter compared to the second quarter.
•Red Fork and SOHOT well results continue to meet or exceed expectations.

Contract drilling segment:
•BOSS drilling rigs continue to be 100% contracted.
•Construction of the 14th BOSS drilling rig was substantially completed and the rig is expected to begin working during the fourth quarter.

Mid-stream segment:
•Continued third-party operator drilling activity in the Cashion/Reeding gathering and processing system areas resulted in a 12% quarter-over-quarter throughput volume increase.


THIRD QUARTER 2019 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Net loss attributable to Unit for the quarter was $206.9 million, or $3.91 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to Unit of $18.9 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2018. The quarter's results included the following pre-tax non-cash write downs: $169.8 million ceiling test write down in the carrying value of Unit’s oil and natural gas properties and certain gathering system assets; $62.8 million in goodwill associated with the contract drilling segment; and $2.3 million in the carrying value of line-fill associated with the mid-stream segment. Adjusted net loss attributable to Unit (which excludes the effect of non-cash commodity derivatives and the effects of the write-downs) for the quarter was $15.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, as compared to adjusted net income attributable to Unit of $15.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the same quarter for 2018 (see non-GAAP financial measures below). The loss is primarily attributable to the deterioration in realized natural gas liquids (NGLs) prices and natural gas prices experienced during the quarter. Total revenues for the quarter were $155.4 million (50% oil and natural gas, 24% contract drilling, and 26% mid-stream), compared to $220.1 million (51% oil and natural gas, 23% contract drilling, and 26% mid-stream) for the third quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Unit was $58.8 million, or $1.11 per diluted share (see non-GAAP financial measures below).

For the first nine months of 2019, net loss attributable to Unit was $218.9 million, or $4.14 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to Unit of $32.6 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2018. Excluding the effect of the third quarter 2019 write downs discussed above and the effect of non-cash commodity derivatives,


adjusted net loss attributable to Unit was $24.1 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, as compared to adjusted net income attributable to Unit of $38.0 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, for the same period for 2018 (see non-GAAP financial measures below). Total revenues for the first nine months were $510.3 million (47% oil and natural gas, 26% contract drilling, and 27% mid-stream), compared to $628.5 million (50% oil and natural gas, 23% contract drilling, and 27% mid-stream) for the first nine months of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Unit for the first nine months was $195.1 million, or $3.69 per diluted share (see non-GAAP financial measures below).


OIL AND NATURAL GAS SEGMENT INFORMATION
For the quarter, total equivalent production was 4.4 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBoe), a 6% increase over the second quarter. Oil and NGLs production represented 49% of total equivalent production. Oil production was 10,074 barrels per day, an increase of 26% over the second quarter. NGLs production was 13,480 barrels per day, a 1% increase over the second quarter. Natural gas production was 145.2 million cubic feet (MMcf) per day, a 1% decrease from the second quarter. Total equivalent production for the first nine months of 2019 was 12.7 MMBoe.

Unit’s average realized per barrel equivalent price for the quarter was $18.70, which was relatively unchanged compared to the second quarter. Unit’s average natural gas price was $1.83 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf), a decrease of 2% from the second quarter. Unit’s average oil price was $56.62 per barrel, a decrease of 6% from the second quarter. Unit’s average NGLs price was $8.50 per barrel, a decrease of 32% from the second quarter. All prices in this paragraph include the effects of derivative contracts.

During the quarter, Unit continued to focus on increasing its oil production. At year-end 2018, oil represented slightly over 17% of Unit's production stream, and for the quarter, oil represented 21% of Unit's production.

Larry Pinkston, Chief Executive Officer and President, said: “The quarter's early focus was on completion activities for wells drilled in the prior quarter. The increase in oil production during the quarter resulted from the new Redfork and Marchand wells which met or exceeded our expectations. While third quarter production resulted in a significant increase over the second quarter, we anticipate annual production to be in line with our projection of approximately 17.0 MMBoe as we continue to have no rigs currently running for this segment."

CONTRACT DRILLING SEGMENT INFORMATION
Unit’s average number of drilling rigs working during the quarter was 20.4, a decrease of 29% from the second quarter. Per day drilling rig rates averaged $19,276, up 4% over the second quarter. For the first nine months of 2019, per day drilling rig rates averaged $18,635, an 8% increase over the first nine months of 2018. Average per day operating margin for the quarter was $4,635 (with no elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit). This compares to second quarter average operating margin of $5,526 (before elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit of $0.7 million), a decrease of 16%, or $891. Average per day operating margin for the first nine months of 2019 was $6,011 (before elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit of $1.6 million). This compares to the first nine months of 2018 average operating margin of $5,647 (before elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit of $2.4 million), an increase of 6%, or $364 (in each case regarding eliminating intercompany drilling rig profit - see non-GAAP financial measures below). Average operating margins for the first nine months included early termination fees of approximately $4.8 million, or $650 per day, from the cancellation of certain third-party long-term contracts. As noted, in this quarter, this segment recognized goodwill impairment charges of $62.8 million, pre-tax ($59.7 million, net of tax) representing all of the goodwill.

Pinkston said: “We substantially completed the construction of our 14th BOSS drilling rig during the later part of the quarter, and the rig is scheduled to start work late in the fourth quarter. Our BOSS drilling rigs continue to maintain 100% utilization. Term contracts (contracts with original terms ranging from six months to three years in length) are in place for 15 of our drilling rigs at the end of the quarter. Of the 15 contracts, three are up for renewal in the fourth quarter, eight in 2020, and four after 2020.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Unit Corporation reports its financial results under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The company believes certain non-GAAP measures provide users of its financial information and its management additional meaningful information to evaluate the performance of the company.

This press release includes net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share excluding the effect of the cash-settled commodity derivatives, its reconciliation of segment operating profit, its drilling segment’s average daily operating margin before elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit and bad debt expense, its cash flow from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities, and its reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA.

Below are reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures for the periods below. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered by themselves or a substitute for results reported under GAAP. This non-GAAP information should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared under GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information presented may be determined or calculated differently by other companies and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures.
