Evolution Petroleum Reports Fiscal Year 2023 Second Quarter Results and Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend for the Fiscal 2023 Third Quarter

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / February 7, 2023 / Evolution Petroleum (NYSE American:EPM) ("Evolution" or the "Company") today announced financial and operating results for its fiscal 2023 second quarter (the “current quarter”) ended December 31, 2022. Evolution also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per common share for the fiscal 2023 third quarter.

Key Highlights

(1)

Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization and is a non-GAAP financial measure; see "Non-GAAP Information" section later in this release for more information including reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures.

Kelly Loyd, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to report solid results for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Our targeted portfolio of assets located in key prolific oil and natural gas producing regions in the onshore U.S. provide us with a strong platform for ongoing cash flow generation that is fully funding our operating and capital needs. As important, we paid off all outstanding borrowings under our credit facility incurred early in calendar 2022 to complete two major acquisitions and now have a debt-free balance sheet. Our increased liquidity enhances our ability to execute on our long-tenured return of shareholder capital program and continue to evaluate accretive acquisition opportunities.”

‌

Mr. Loyd added, “The benefits of our focused efforts to diversify, both geographically and by commodity mix, were on full display during the second quarter of fiscal 2023, highlighted by the premium natural gas price realized at our Jonah Field of $11.00 per MCF that helped raise company-wide natural gas realizations to $7.34 per MCF versus average Henry Hub pricing of $5.55 per MCF, over the same time period."

Mr. Loyd concluded, “With the payment in December of our 37^th consecutive quarterly cash dividend to our shareholders, the declaration of a $0.12 dividend for the next quarter and the completed repayment of borrowings on our credit facility, we continue to demonstrate our disciplined approach to maximizing total shareholder returns. In addition, we recently began making purchases through our share repurchase program to further implement our shareholder focus.”

Cash Dividend on Common Stock

On February 6, 2023, Evolution’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock, which will be paid on March 31, 2023 to common stockholders of record on March 15, 2023. This will be the 38^th consecutive quarterly cash dividend on the Company’s common stock, which has been paid since the quarter ended December 31, 2013. To date, Evolution has returned approximately $94.4 million, or $2.85 per share, back to stockholders in common stock dividends. Maintaining and ultimately growing the common stock dividend remains a key Company priority.

Total production for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was 7,250 net BOEPD, including 1,804 barrels per day (“BOPD”) of oil; 25,728 thousand cubic feet per day (“MCFPD”), or 4,294 BOEPD, of natural gas; and 1,152 BOEPD of natural gas liquids (“NGLs”).

●

The 1% decrease in oil production from 1,826 BOPD in the prior quarter was primarily due to downtime associated with severe winter storms in the current quarter.

‌

●

Natural gas production decreased 5% from 27,109 MCFPD, or 4,522 BOEPD, in the prior quarter primarily due to downtime associated with severe winter storms and slightly lower production in the Barnett Shale due to temporary issues at select compression stations and certain offset operator activities.

●

NGL production decreased 8% from 1,250 BOEPD in the prior quarter primarily due to downtime associated with severe winter storms and slightly lower production in the Barnett Shale due to temporary issues at select compression stations and certain offset operator activities. Also contributing to the decrease was the decision to maximize natural gas production thus reducing NGL recoveries from Jonah Field during the current quarter to capitalize on higher relative natural gas pricing.

Evolution reported $33.7 million of total revenue for the current quarter, a 15% decrease from the prior quarter. Oil revenue decreased 14% to $13.1 million from the prior quarter due to 1% lower sales volumes and a 13% decrease in realized commodity pricing. Natural gas revenue decreased 12% to $17.4 million from the prior quarter due to 5% lower sales volumes and an 8% decrease in realized commodity pricing. NGL revenue decreased 33% to $3.2 million due to 8% lower sales volumes and a 27% decrease in realized pricing. The average realized price per BOE decreased 11% to $50.49 per BOE compared to $56.93 per BOE in the prior quarter.

Lease operating costs decreased 21% to $15.0 million from $19.1 million in the prior quarter. Primarily contributing to the decrease were changes in estimates from prior periods and lower ad valorem and production taxes associated with lower revenues in the current quarter. Also contributing to the decrease were lower workover expense in the Williston Basin and lower CO₂ costs at Delhi Field associated with the decrease in crude oil prices from the prior quarter.

Depletion, depreciation, and accretion ("DD&A") expense was $3.5 million compared to $3.6 million in the prior quarter. On a per BOE basis, the Company’s depletion rate of $4.76 was essentially flat with the $4.75 depletion rate in the prior quarter.

The Company's general and administrative ("G&A") expenses were $2.6 million for the current quarter compared to $2.5 million in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily associated with higher non-cash stock-based compensation in the current quarter due to sign-on awards and additional one-time director grants that was partially offset by lower professional services fees compared to the prior quarter.

Net income for the current quarter was $10.4 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to $10.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the prior quarter. Adjusted Net Income (see “Non-GAAP Information” section later in this release for a reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP metric), was $9.6 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to $10.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the prior quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA was $16.4 million for the current quarter compared to $17.0 million in the prior quarter. On a per BOE basis, Adjusted EBITDA was $24.66 for the current quarter versus $24.33 for the prior quarter.

‌

Operations Update

Net production of the Jonah Field properties was 175 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (“MBOE”) (950 million cubic feet (“MMCF”) of natural gas) in the current quarter versus 181 MBOE (958 MMCF of natural gas) in the prior quarter. The average natural gas price per MCF realized by Evolution at the Jonah Field was $11.00 in the current quarter compared to $8.21 in the prior quarter, a 34% sequential increase primarily due to higher realized prices as a result of strong winter demand on the West Coast.

Net production of the Williston Basin properties was 45 MBOE (34 MBBL of oil) for the current quarter compared to 45 MBOE (37 MBBL of oil) in the prior quarter. The average oil price per barrel realized by Evolution at the Williston Basin during the current quarter was $82.31 compared to $90.76 during the prior quarter.

Net production of the Barnett Shale properties was 304 MBOE for the current quarter compared to 329 MBOE in the prior quarter. The average natural gas price per MCF realized by Evolution at Barnett Shale during the current quarter was $4.88 compared to $7.81 during the prior quarter.

Hamilton Dome Field oil production was 38 MBOE in the current quarter versus 38 MBOE in the prior quarter. The average oil price per barrel realized by Evolution at Hamilton Dome Field during the current quarter was $66.49 compared to $78.37 during the prior quarter, a decrease of 15%.

Net production at Delhi Field in the current quarter was 104 MBOE compared to 105 MBOE in the prior quarter. The average oil price per barrel realized by Evolution at Delhi Field during the current quarter was $83.50 compared to $93.31 during the prior quarter. The average realized NGL price per barrel was $32.15 compared to $40.91 during the prior quarter.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital Spending

At December 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled $3.7 million and working capital was $2.9 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, Evolution fully repaid the remaining $12.3 million of debt outstanding under its revolving credit facility, which has a borrowing base of $50.0 million. As a result, total liquidity at December 31, 2022 was $53.7 million, including cash and cash equivalents. This represents an increase in liquidity of 45% since June 30, 2022.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company fully funded operations, development capital expenditures, cash dividends, and debt repayment through cash generated from operations and working capital.

For the three months ended December 31, 2022, Evolution paid $4.1 million in common stock dividends and incurred $1.1 million in development capital expenditures. For fiscal 2023, the Company continues to expect development capital expenditures collectively across its existing portfolio of properties to range between $6.5 million to $9.5 million. These expenditures include anticipated capital costs at Delhi field for a NGL plant heat exchanger project, projected to improve operational efficiency throughout the year, which is currently underway. Evolution’s expected capital expenditures for fiscal year 2023 also include

‌

participating in the drilling of two sidetrack locations targeting the Birdbear formation and recompleting up to four vertical wells in the Williston Basin, but do not include any capital expenditures for drilling in the Pronghorn and Three Forks locations in the Williston Basin at this time. We continue to evaluate those potential drilling locations with the operator.

Evolution believes its near-term capital spending requirements will be met from cash flows from operations and current working capital, as well as from borrowings under its revolving credit facility as needed.

Adjusted EBITDA and Net income (loss) and earnings per share excluding selected items are non-GAAP financial measures that are used as supplemental financial measures by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, and others, to assess our operating performance as compared to that of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical costs basis. We use these measures to assess our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Net income (loss) and earnings per share excluding selected items should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Net income (loss) and earnings per share excluding selected items may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Net income (loss) and earnings per share excluding selected items in the same manner.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion and accretion (DD&A), stock-based compensation, ceiling test impairment and other impairments, unrealized loss (gain) on change in fair value of derivatives, and other non-recurring or non-cash expense (income) items.

(2)

Net income (loss) and earnings per share excluding selected items are non-GAAP financial measures presented as supplemental financial measures to enable a user of the financial information to understand the impact of these items on reported results. These financial measures should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and earnings per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and earnings per share in the same manner.

(3)

The impact of selected items for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 was calculated based upon weighted average diluted shares of 33.4 million due to the net income (loss), excluding selected items. The impact of selected items for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was calculated based upon weighted average diluted shares of 33.3 million due to the net income (loss), excluding selected items. The impact of selected items for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 were calculated based upon weighted average diluted shares of 33.3 million and 33.2 million, respectively, due to the net income (loss), excluding selected items.
