MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE American: NOG) today announced selected preliminary and unaudited fourth quarter 2017 results.
FOURTH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
MANAGEMENT COMMENT
"December marked an excellent finish to a very good quarter for Northern with net well additions and production coming in higher than our prior guidance and expenses (LOE, production taxes, G&A expenses and differentials) coming in lower than our previous guidance," commented Northern's Interim President, Brandon Elliott. "The strong end to 2017 demonstrates the effectiveness of our focus on capital allocation and the advantages of the non-operating business model. Our production has returned to levels not seen since the first quarter of 2015 and we have achieved this production with capital spending levels that were 71% lower in 2017 compared to 2014. We are looking forward to the momentum that our capital allocation process has helped build continuing in 2018."
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES & DRILLING ACTIVITY
Northern saw a pick-up of activity and completions within its core acreage during 2017 resulting in 7.1 net wells added to production during the fourth quarter, bringing year-to-date well additions to 16.9 net wells. Higher activity levels in the core also resulted in a 4.9 net well increase of wells in process compared to year-end 2016, with total wells in process equaling 18.3 net wells at year-end 2017. The combination of more wells in process and more wells added to production than originally anticipated resulted in total capital expenditures incurred of $57.3 million for the fourth quarter and $156.0 million for 2017.

With the added benefit of the transactions contemplated by the exchange agreement, we expect to accelerate our growth strategy as the natural consolidator and clearing house of non-operated working interest in the Williston Basin. I am incredibly excited about Northern's future and look forward to continuing my work with the team. This team has done a phenomenal job, as evidenced by the outstanding preliminary fourth quarter results that are also being announced by the Company today."
FOURTH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
Under the terms of the exchange agreement, Northern has agreed to exchange approximately $497 million aggregate principal amount of its 8% senior unsecured notes due 2020 (the "Existing Notes") for a combination of approximately $344 million aggregate principal amount of second lien senior secured notes due 2023 (the "New Notes") and approximately $155 million of Northern's common stock. The New Notes are expected to mature on April 30, 2023. The New Notes will bear cash interest at a rate of 8.5% per annum, and additional interest at a rate of 1% per annum that is payable in kind (PIK), provided that the PIK interest shall cease to accrue if Northern achieves specified total debt-to-EBITDAX metrics. The New Notes will be secured by second priority lien security interests in substantially the same collateral that secures Northern's obligations under its $400 million first lien credit facility with TPG Sixth Street Partners (the "First Lien Facility").
Closing under the exchange agreement is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) shareholder approval of the issuance of common stock in the exchange and the equity raise, (ii) the reincorporation of Northern in the State of Delaware (from Minnesota), (iii) consent of the lenders under the First Lien Facility and (iv) definitive documentation for the New Notes. Closing under the exchange agreement is also conditioned on Northern raising $156 million of additional equity in the form of (i) cash contributions from the sale of equity and/or (ii) additional assets acquired by Northern in exchange for equity (limited to 50% of the total equity raise). The price of the common stock to be issued in the exchange and the equity raise is targeted for $3.00 per share.
Contemporaneously with the execution of the exchange agreement, Northern received equity commitments totaling $40 million of the equity raise at a price of $3.00 per share (subject to adjustment) from certain investors, including TRT Holdings, Inc. (the company's largest shareholder and largest noteholder, who also agreed to exchange all of its Existing Notes pursuant to the exchange agreement), Bahram Akradi (the company's Chairman), and Michael Reger (the company's founder and Chairman Emeritus). These equity commitments are conditioned upon, among other things, closing of the transactions under the exchange agreement.

MANAGEMENT COMMENT
"The momentum we saw exiting the third quarter has continued into the fourth quarter and as a result we are raising our expectations for fourth quarter production," commented Northern's Interim CEO and CFO, Tom Stoelk. "Our capital allocation process has resulted in a great inventory of wells in process, which we expect will continue to drive strong performance in 2018. As a result, we are estimating that we will add between 20 and 22 net wells to production during 2018, resulting in 2018 estimated production growth of between 10% and 14%."
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
"The Company wishes to thank Rich for his tireless service as Chairman over the last two years as well as his Board contributions over the last six years," commented Bahram Akradi, Northern's Lead Independent Director.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE American: NOG) today announced 2017 third quarter results, increased annual production guidance and lowered operating expense expectations for the fourth quarter.
HIGHLIGHTS
Northern's GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2017 was $16.1 million. Adjusted net income for the quarter was $2.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $35.7 million. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information on these measures.
MANAGEMENT COMMENT
"It is validating to see our efforts over the last year come to fruition and to see the momentum we have generated as we approach 2018," commented Northern's Interim CEO and CFO, Tom Stoelk. "Our focus on capital allocation is showing up in better well productivity and increased production levels, and our wells in process are concentrated among operators getting some of the best results in the basin. Our new credit facility with TPG Sixth Street Partners has extended our debt maturity and increased our access to capital. This additional liquidity combined with Northern's high-quality assets and returns-focused capital allocation strategy provides a solid foundation to increase shareholder value."
GUIDANCE
Northern is increasing its 2017 guidance and now expects average daily production for 2017 to increase between 5% - 6% compared to 2016. As a result of increased activity on its acreage Northern now expects to add approximately 14 net wells to production for the year. This coupled with the growth in Northern's wells in process inventory resulted in a revised annual capital budget of $130 million for 2017.
Management's current expectations for fourth quarter of 2017 operating metrics are as follows:
Operating Expenses: |
Fourth Quarter 2017 | |
Production Expenses (per Boe) |
$9.00 - $9.25 | |
Production Taxes (% of Oil & Gas Sales) |
9.4% | |
General and Administrative Expense (per Boe) |
$3.00 - $3.25 | |
Average Differential to NYMEX WTI |
$6.00 - $7.00 |
LIQUIDITY
At September 30, 2017, Northern had $155.0 million in outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. On November 1, 2017, Northern announced that it had closed an agreement with TPG Sixth Street Partners for a new five year $400 million first lien credit facility. At closing, an initial amount of $300 million was funded and a portion of these proceeds were used to retire and repay the old revolving credit facility. Based on this new credit facility, Northern had available liquidity of approximately $235 million as of November 1, 2017, comprised of $135 million of cash on hand and $100 million of delayed draw term loan availability.
HEDGING
Northern hedges portions of its expected production volumes to increase the predictability of its cash flow and to help maintain a strong financial position. The following table summarizes Northern's open crude oil derivative contracts scheduled to settle after September 30, 2017.

Oil and Natural Gas Sales
In the third quarter of 2017, oil, natural gas and NGL sales, excluding the effect of settled derivatives, increased 30% as compared to the third quarter of 2016, driven by a 14% increase in realized prices, excluding the effect of settled derivatives, and a 14% increase in production. The higher average realized price in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 was principally driven by higher average NYMEX oil and natural gas prices and a lower oil price differential. Oil price differential during the third quarter of 2017 was $6.22 per barrel, as compared to $7.68 per barrel in the third quarter of 2016.
Derivative Instruments (Hedges)
Northern enters into derivative instruments to manage the price risk attributable to future oil production. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net was a loss of $12.7 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to a gain of $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2016. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net is comprised of (i) cash gains and losses recognized on settled derivatives during the period, and (ii) non-cash mark-to-market gains and losses incurred on derivative instruments outstanding at period end.

The average NYMEX oil price for the third quarter of 2017 was $48.20 compared to $44.94 for the third quarter of 2016. Northern's average realized price (including all cash derivative settlements) in the third quarter of 2017 was $40.90 per Boe compared to $41.03 per Boe in the third quarter of 2016. The gain (loss) on settled derivatives increased the average realized price per Boe by $2.41 in the third quarter of 2017 and increased the average realized price per Boe by $7.30 in the third quarter of 2016.
Production Expenses
Production expenses were $12.6 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $10.9 million in the third quarter of 2016. On a per unit basis, production expenses increased to $8.94 per Boe in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $8.83 per Boe in the third quarter of 2016. On an absolute dollar basis, the increase in production expenses in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the third quarter of 2016 was primarily due to higher processing costs and salt water disposal costs and a 14% increase in production, as well as a 6% increase in the total number of net producing wells.
Production Taxes
Production taxes were $5.1 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2016. The increase is due to higher commodity prices and higher production levels, which increased oil and natural gas sales in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the third quarter of 2016. As a percentage of oil and natural gas sales, production taxes were 9.3% and 9.7% in the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. This decrease in production tax rates as a percentage of oil and natural gas sales is due to a change in sales mix. Production taxes on natural gas and NGL sales are at a lower percentage than that of crude oil sales. Crude oil sales represented 93% of oil and natural gas sales in the third quarter of 2017 compared to 95% in the third quarter of 2016.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expenses were $8.0 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2016. The increase was due in part to a $3.6 million charge in connection with a settlement agreement with our former chief executive officer in the third quarter of 2017, and a $0.9 million increase in legal and professional expenses compared to the third quarter of 2016, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in cash compensation expense due primarily to reduced incentive compensation. In addition, general and administrative expense in the third quarter of 2016 was reduced by a $1.8 million reversal of non-cash share based compensation expense in connection with the termination of the employment of our former chief executive officer.
Depletion, Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion
Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion ("DD&A") was $15.4 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $13.7 million in the third quarter of 2016. Depletion expense, the largest component of DD&A, increased by $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016. The aggregate increase in depletion expense was driven by a 14% increase in production levels which was partially offset by a 2% decrease in the depletion rate per Boe. On a per unit basis, depletion expense was $10.77 per Boe in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $10.96 per Boe in the third quarter of 2016. The 2017 depletion rate per Boe was lower due to the impairment of oil and natural gas properties in 2016, which lowered the depletable base. Depreciation, amortization and accretion was $0.2 million and $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties
No impairment of oil and natural gas properties was recorded in the third quarter of 2017. As a result of low prevailing commodity prices and their effect on the proved reserve values of its properties, Northern recorded a non-cash ceiling test impairment of $43.8 million for the third quarter of 2016. The impairment charge affected Northern's reported net income in 2016 but did not reduce cash flow.
Interest Expense
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was $16.7 million for the third quarter of 2017 compared to $16.1 million in the third quarter of 2016. The increase in interest expense for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 was primarily due to higher levels of debt between periods.
Income Tax Provision
During the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, no income tax expense (benefit) was recorded on the income (loss) before income taxes due to the valuation allowance placed on the net deferred tax asset.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Income for the third quarter of 2017 was $2.2 million (representing approximately $0.04 per diluted share), compared to $2.4 million (representing approximately $0.04 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2016. The decrease in Adjusted Net Income is primarily due to higher operating expenses which was partially offset by higher production levels. Northern defines Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) excluding (i) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, net of tax, (ii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties, net of tax, (iii) write-off of debt issuance costs, net of tax, and (iv) certain legal settlements, net of tax.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2017 was $35.7 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $33.0 million for the third quarter of 2016. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA is due to significantly higher production levels which were partially offset by higher operating expenses. Northern defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, (iv) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, (v) non-cash share based compensation expense, (vi) write-off of debt issuance costs and (vii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the accompanying financial tables found later in this release. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of current financial performance. Specifically, management believes the non-GAAP results included herein provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses and unrealized derivatives gains and losses that management believes are not indicative of Northern's core operating results. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring Northern's performance, and management believes it is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE American: NOG) ("Northern" or the "Company") today announced it has closed an agreement with TPG Sixth Street Partners ("TSSP") for a new $400 million first lien credit facility (the "new credit facility"). At the closing, an initial amount of $300 million was funded – an additional $100 million of delayed draw term loans are available to the Company, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions. The new credit facility matures in five years and carries a floating interest rate of LIBOR, plus 7.75% (subject to a 1% LIBOR floor).
The Company used approximately $161 million of the initial proceeds to repay and retire its bank credit facility led by Royal Bank of Canada, which was scheduled to mature in September 2018. Excess proceeds under the initial draw and additional availability under the new credit facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, development of the Company's assets in the Williston Basin, future accretive acquisitions, and potential purchases of the Company's outstanding unsecured senior notes and common shares.
"This new credit facility extends our debt maturities and significantly expands our available liquidity," stated Northern's Interim CEO and CFO Tom Stoelk. "With this enhanced financial flexibility we intend to continue to grow our oil-focused asset base in the Williston Basin while seeking additional accretive transactions to increase shareholder value." Richard Weber, Northern's Chairman of the Board, added, "We welcome TSSP as a partner and look forward to pursuing our strategic initiatives with their support. We also look forward to continuing discussions with our bondholders about potential transactions that would be beneficial for all of our stakeholders."
"Northern has a great management team and an attractive portfolio in the Williston Basin and we are pleased at the opportunity to provide this strategic capital," said Matt Dillard, Partner at TSSP. "Led by our dedicated energy team based in Houston and San Francisco, we are excited to partner with Northern, its leadership team and board of directors and look forward to working with them to create value for all stakeholders."
Evercore is serving as financial advisor to Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. and Jones Day is acting as legal counsel.

Oil and Natural Gas Sales
In the second quarter of 2017, oil, natural gas and NGL sales, excluding the effect of settled derivatives, increased 14% as compared to the second quarter of 2016, driven by a 15% increase in realized prices, excluding the effect of settled derivatives, which was partially offset by a 1% decrease in production. The higher average realized price in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 was principally driven by higher average NYMEX oil and natural gas prices and a lower oil price differential. Oil price differential during the second quarter of 2017 was $6.86 per barrel, as compared to $8.08 per barrel in the second quarter of 2016.
Derivative Instruments (Hedges)
Northern enters into derivative instruments to manage the price risk attributable to future oil production. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net was a gain of $16.5 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to a loss of $10.5 million in the second quarter of 2016. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net is comprised of (i) cash gains and losses recognized on settled derivatives during the period, and (ii) non-cash mark-to-market gains and losses incurred on derivative instruments outstanding at period end.

The average NYMEX oil price for the second quarter of 2017 was $48.15 compared to $45.64 for the second quarter of 2016. Northern's average realized price (including all cash derivative settlements) in the second quarter of 2017 was $40.41 per Boe compared to $49.30 per Boe in the second quarter of 2016. The gain (loss) on settled derivatives increased the average realized price per Boe by $1.86 in the second quarter of 2017 and increased the average realized price per Boe by $15.76 in the second quarter of 2016.
Production Expenses
Production expenses were $12.1 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $11.1 million in the second quarter of 2016. On a per unit basis, production expenses increased to $9.67 per Boe in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $8.74 per Boe in the second quarter of 2016. On an absolute dollar basis, the increase in production expenses in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016 was primarily due to a $0.2 million increase in processing costs and a $0.5 million increase in workover and maintenance costs, as well as a 5% increase in the total number of net producing wells. In an effort to increase production, workover expenses have increased in 2017 compared to 2016 as new operators have assumed the operations of properties previously managed by financially stressed companies.
Production Taxes
Production taxes were $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2016. The increase is due to higher commodity prices, which increased oil and natural gas sales in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016. As a percentage of oil and natural gas sales, production taxes were 9.2% and 9.9% in the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. This decrease in production tax rates as a percentage of oil and natural gas sales is due to a change in sales mix. Production taxes on natural gas and NGL sales are at a lower percentage than that of crude oil sales. Crude oil sales represented 90% of oil and natural gas sales in the second quarter of 2017 compared to 96% in the second quarter of 2016.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expenses were $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2016. The decrease was due to a $1.3 million reduction in compensation expenses, primarily driven by a decrease in incentive compensation and lower non-cash share-based compensation expense, partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in legal and other professional fees.
Depletion, Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion
Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion ("DD&A") was $13.7 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $16.2 million in the second quarter of 2016. Depletion expense, the largest component of DD&A, decreased by $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016. The aggregate decrease in depletion expense was driven by a 15% decrease in the depletion rate per Boe, as well as a 1% decrease in production levels. On a per unit basis, depletion expense was $10.76 per Boe in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $12.64 per Boe in the second quarter of 2016. The 2017 depletion rate per Boe was lower due to the impairment of oil and natural gas properties in 2016, which lowered the depletable base. Depreciation, amortization and accretion was $0.2 million and $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties
No impairment of oil and natural gas properties was recorded in the second quarter of 2017. As a result of low prevailing commodity prices and their effect on the proved reserve values of its properties, Northern recorded a non-cash ceiling test impairment of $88.9 million for the second quarter of 2016. The impairment charge affected Northern's reported net income in 2016 but did not reduce cash flow.
Interest Expense
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was $16.4 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2016. The increase in interest expense for the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 was primarily due to higher levels of debt between periods.
Income Tax Provision
During the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, no income tax expense (benefit) was recorded on the income (loss) before income taxes due to the valuation allowance placed on the net deferred tax asset.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the second quarter of 2017 was a loss of $0.2 million (representing approximately $0.00 per diluted share), compared to income of $6.5 million (representing approximately $0.10 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is primarily due to lower realized commodity prices (after the effect of settled derivatives) and lower production levels. Northern defines Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) excluding (i) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, net of tax, (ii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties, net of tax, and (iii) write-off of debt issuance costs, net of tax.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2017 was $30.7 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $44.3 million for the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily due to lower realized commodity prices (after the effect of settled derivatives) and lower production levels. Northern defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, (iv) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, (v) non-cash share based compensation expense, (vi) write-off of debt issuance costs and (vii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the accompanying financial tables found later in this release. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of current financial performance. Specifically, management believes the non-GAAP results included herein provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses and unrealized derivatives gains and losses that management believes are not indicative of Northern's core operating results. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring Northern's performance, and management believes it is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes.

SOURCE Northern Oil and Gas, Inc.
MINNETONKA, Minn., May 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE MKT: NOG) today announced 2017 first quarter results and completion of the semi-annual borrowing base redetermination under Northern's revolving credit facility.
HIGHLIGHTS
Northern's GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2017 was $16.9 million. Adjusted net income for the quarter was a loss of $0.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $29.6 million. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information on these measures.
MANAGEMENT COMMENT
"Northern's ability to allocate our capital expenditures to the highest return wells is allowing us to maintain production levels despite our dramatic reduction in capital expenditures since 2015," commented Northern's Interim CEO and CFO, Tom Stoelk. "Increased well productivity is being aided by the enhanced completion designs, which is improving returns as we execute on our capital allocation focused business plan. As the weather improves, an increase in completions is expected to drive production growth during the second half of 2017."
GUIDANCE
Northern continues to expect 2017 total annual production to equal or modestly exceed 2016 total production. Northern expects that it will add approximately 12 net wells to production during the year, based on a preliminary capital budget of $102.2 million (including acreage and development capital). Net well additions will be weighted to the second half of 2017, which should result in sequential production growth in the third and fourth quarters. Management's current expectations for 2017 operating metrics are as follows:
2017 | ||
Operating Expenses: |
||
Production Expenses (per Boe) |
$9.00 - $9.30 | |
Production Taxes (% of Oil & Gas Sales) |
10% | |
General and Administration Expense (per Boe) |
$3.00 - $3.50 | |
Average Differential to NYMEX WTI |
$7.00 - $9.00 |
LIQUIDITY
At March 31, 2017, Northern had $134.0 million in outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility, a $10 million reduction from December 31, 2016. In May 2017, Northern completed the semi-annual redetermination under its revolving credit facility with the borrowing base established at $325 million. Based on this new borrowing base, Northern had available liquidity of $196.5 million as of March 31, 2017, composed of $5.5 million in cash and $191.0 million of revolving credit facility availability.
HEDGING
Northern hedges portions of its expected production volumes to increase the predictability of its cash flow and to help maintain a strong financial position. The following table summarizes Northern's open crude oil derivative contracts scheduled to settle after March 31, 2017.

Oil and Natural Gas Sales
In the first three months of 2017, oil, natural gas and NGL sales, excluding the effect of settled derivatives, increased 72% as compared to the first three months of 2016, driven by a 77% increase in realized prices, excluding the effect of settled derivatives, which was partially offset by a 3% decrease in production. The higher average realized price in the first three months of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 was principally driven by higher average NYMEX oil and natural gas prices and a lower oil price differential. Oil price differential during the first three months of 2017 was $8.06 per barrel, as compared to $9.02 per barrel in the first three months of 2016.
Derivative Instruments (Hedges)
Northern enters into derivative instruments to manage the price risk attributable to future oil production. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net was a gain of $17.0 million in the first three months of 2017, compared to a gain of $3.5 million in the first three months of 2016. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net is comprised of (i) cash gains and losses recognized on settled derivatives during the period, and (ii) non-cash mark-to-market gains and losses incurred on derivative instruments outstanding at period end.

The average NYMEX oil price for the first three months of 2017 was $51.78 compared to $33.63 for the first three months of 2016. Northern's average realized price (including all cash derivative settlements) in the first three months of 2017 was $40.73 per Boe compared to $43.64 per Boe in the first three months of 2016. The gain (loss) on settled derivatives decreased the average realized price per Boe by $0.08 in the first three months of 2017 and increased the average realized price per Boe by $20.63 in the first three months of 2016.
Production Expenses
Production expenses were $11.7 million in the first three months of 2017 compared to $12.0 million in the first three months of 2016. On a per unit basis, production expenses increased to $9.75 per Boe in the first three months of 2017, compared to $9.70 per Boe in the first three months of 2016. This increase was due to a 3% decline in production levels over which fixed costs are spread, partially offset by a reduction in the aggregate dollar amount of production expenses. On an absolute dollar basis, production expenses in the first three months of 2017 were 2% lower when compared to the first three months of 2016 due primarily to lower contract labor and maintenance costs, which was partially offset by a 4% increase in the total number of net producing wells.
Production Taxes
Production taxes were $4.5 million in the first three months of 2017 compared to $2.8 million in the first three months of 2016. The increase is due to higher commodity prices, which substantially increased oil and natural gas sales in the first three months of 2017 as compared to the first three months of 2016. As a percentage of oil and natural gas sales, production taxes were 9.1% and 9.8% in the first three months of 2017 and 2016, respectively. This decrease in production tax rates is due to a change in sales mix. Production taxes on natural gas and NGL sales are at a lower percentage than that of crude oil sales. Crude oil sales represented 91% of oil and gas sales in the first three months of 2017 compared to 96% in the first three months of 2016.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense was $3.6 million in the first three months of 2017 compared to $4.3 million in the first three months of 2016. The decrease was due to a $1.0 million reduction in compensation expenses, primarily driven by a decrease in incentive compensation and lower non-cash share-based compensation expense, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in legal and other professional fees.
Depletion, Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion
Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion ("DD&A") was $12.8 million in the first three months of 2017 compared to $17.8 million in the first three months of 2016. Depletion expense, the largest component of DD&A, decreased by $5.0 million in the first three months of 2017 compared to the first three months of 2016. The aggregate decrease in depletion expense was driven by a 26% decrease in the depletion rate per Boe, as well as a 3% decrease in production levels. On a per unit basis, depletion expense was $10.58 per Boe in the first three months of 2017 compared to $14.35 per Boe in the first three months of 2016. The 2017 depletion rate per Boe was lower due to the impairment of oil and natural gas properties in 2016, which lowered the depletable base. Depreciation, amortization and accretion was $0.2 million and $0.1 million in the first three months of 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties
No impairment of oil and natural gas properties was recorded in the first three months of 2017. As a result of low prevailing commodity prices and their effect on the proved reserve values of our properties, Northern recorded a non-cash ceiling test impairment of $104.3 million for the first three months of 2016. The impairment charge affected Northern's reported net income in 2016 but did not reduce cash flow.
Interest Expense
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was $16.3 million for the first three months of 2017 compared to $16.1 million in the first three months of 2016.
Income Tax Provision
During the first three months of 2017 and 2016, no income tax expense (benefit) was recorded on the income (loss) before income taxes due to the valuation allowance placed on our net deferred tax asset.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the first quarter of 2017 was a loss of $0.1 million (representing approximately $0.00 per diluted share), compared to income of $0.5 million (representing approximately $0.01 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is primarily due to lower realized commodity prices (after the effect of settled derivatives) and lower production levels. Northern defines Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) excluding (i) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, net of tax, (ii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties, net of tax, and (iii) write-off of debt issuance costs, net of tax.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2017 was $29.6 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $36.2 million for the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily due to lower realized commodity prices (after the effect of settled derivatives) and lower production levels. Northern defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, (iv) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, (v) non-cash share based compensation expense, (vi) write-off of debt issuance costs and (vii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the accompanying financial tables found later in this release. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of current financial performance. Specifically, management believes the non-GAAP results included herein provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses and unrealized derivatives gains and losses that management believes are not indicative of Northern's core operating results. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring Northern's performance, and management believes it is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes.

SAFE HARBOR
This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and future results that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this release regarding Northern's financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations, industry conditions, and indebtedness covenant compliance are forward-looking statements. When used in this release, forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by terms or phrases such as "estimate," "project," "predict," "believe," "expect," "continue," "anticipate," "target," "could," "plan," "intend," "seek," "goal," "will," "should," "may" or other words and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Items contemplating or making assumptions about actual or potential future sales, market size, collaborations, and trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond Northern's control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the following: changes in crude oil and natural gas prices, the pace of drilling and completions activity on Northern's properties, Northern's ability to acquire additional development opportunities, changes in Northern's reserves estimates or the value thereof, general economic or industry conditions, nationally and/or in the communities in which Northern conducts business, changes in the interest rate environment, legislation or regulatory requirements, conditions of the securities markets, Northern's ability to raise or access capital, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, financial or political instability, acts of war or terrorism, and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting Northern's operations, products, services and prices.
Northern has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and assumptions about future events. While management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Northern's control.

SOURCE Northern Oil and Gas, Inc.
MINNETONKA, Minn., March 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE MKT: NOG) today announced 2016 fourth quarter and full year results.
HIGHLIGHTS
Northern's adjusted net income for the fourth quarter was $2.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. GAAP net loss for the quarter was $12.3 million, or a loss of $0.20 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $35.1 million. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information on these measures.
MANAGEMENT COMMENT
"Northern performed well in 2016 given the challenging commodity price environment and was free cash flow positive for the year," commented Northern's Interim CEO and CFO, Tom Stoelk. "Northern has seen significant improvements in well productivity due to the widespread adoption of enhanced completion techniques and focus of drilling activity in the core of the play. At the same time, average drilling and completion costs have declined, with average AFE costs of $7.0 million for wells that we elected to participate in during 2016."
Mr. Stoelk continued, "We remain focused on returns and disciplined capital allocation, which will position us to return to growth as development activity increases in the Williston Basin."
2017 GUIDANCE
Northern expects 2017 total annual production to equal or modestly exceed 2016 total production. Northern expects that it will add approximately 12 net wells to production during the year, based on a preliminary capital budget of $102.2 million (including acreage and development capital). Due to winter weather and the potential for road restrictions during the spring, completions are expected to be weighted to the second half of 2017. Management's current expectations for 2017 operating metrics are as follows:
2017 | ||
Operating Expenses: |
||
Production Expenses (per Boe) |
$9.00 - $9.30 | |
Production Taxes (% of Oil & Gas Sales) |
10% | |
General and Admin. Expense (per Boe) |
$3.25 - $3.75 | |
Average Differential to NYMEX WTI |
$7.00 - $9.00 |
LIQUIDITY
At December 31, 2016, Northern had $144 million in outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility, down from $150 million at December 31, 2015. Northern's borrowing base under the revolving credit facility was $350 million, providing year-end liquidity of $212.5 million, composed of $6.5 million in cash and $206.0 million of revolving credit facility availability.
HEDGING
Northern hedges portions of its expected production volumes to increase the predictability of its cash flow and to help maintain a strong financial position. The following table summarizes Northern's open crude oil derivative contracts scheduled to settle after December 31, 2016.

ACREAGE
As of December 31, 2016, Northern controlled 155,016 net acres targeting the Williston Basin Bakken and Three Forks formations. As of December 31, 2016, approximately 83% of Northern's North Dakota acreage position, and approximately 80% of Northern's total acreage position, was developed, held by production or held by operations.
2016 YEAR-END RESERVES
Based on reports prepared by Ryder Scott Company, L.P., Northern's estimated proved reserves at December 31, 2016 totaled 54.1 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBoe). Approximately 70% of year-end 2016 proved reserves were proved developed reserves and 86% of year-end 2016 proved reserves were crude oil. Although year-end 2016 proved reserves were 11.2 MMBoe lower than year-end 2015 proved reserves, this was primarily due to a 15.7 MMBoe decrease attributable to the lower SEC 2016 price deck compared to the SEC 2015 price deck.(1) The decrease from the lower price deck was partially offset by 3.7 MMBoe of favorable performance revisions and 8.4 MMBoe in discoveries, extensions and other additions. Due to lower commodity prices and lower capital spending in 2016, the number of proved undeveloped net well locations included in the year-end proved reserves was reduced to 32.6 net wells in 2016 due to the 5-year rule requirements in the SEC regulations applicable to booking proved undeveloped reserves. However, see "Undeveloped Properties Inventory" below regarding Northern's internal estimates of its undeveloped well inventory, which Northern believes significantly exceeds the number of locations included in its proved undeveloped reserves estimated by Ryder Scott.
(1) |
The SEC 2016 reserve price deck was $42.75 per barrel of oil and $2.49 per MMBtu of gas. The SEC 2015 reserve price deck was $50.28 per barrel of oil and $2.58 per MMBtu of gas. |
UNDEVELOPED PROPERTIES INVENTORY
Based on internally prepared reserves at December 31, 2016, Northern estimates the number of economic net well locations in its undeveloped well inventory under various commodity price assumptions is as follows:

Oil and Natural Gas Sales
In the fourth quarter of 2016, oil, natural gas and NGL sales, excluding the effect of settled derivatives, increased 20% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, driven by a 40% increase in average oil sales prices that was partially offset by a 13% decline in production levels due to inclement weather in December 2016 and lower overall capital spending in 2016. The higher average realized price per Boe, excluding the effect of settled derivatives, in the fourth quarter of 2016 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 was primarily driven by higher NYMEX oil and gas prices and a lower oil differential. Oil price differential during the fourth quarter of 2016 was $7.46 per barrel, as compared to $8.30 per barrel in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Derivative Instruments (Hedges)
Northern enters into derivative instruments to manage the price risk attributable to future oil production. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net is comprised of (i) cash gains and losses recognized on settled derivatives during the period, and (ii) non-cash mark-to-market gains and losses incurred on derivative instruments outstanding at period-end.

17.6 |
Northern's average realized price, including all cash derivative settlements, received during the fourth quarter of 2016 was $43.00 per Boe compared to $59.83 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2015. The gain on settled derivatives increased Northern's average realized price per Boe by $5.62 in the fourth quarter of 2016 and by $32.62 in the fourth quarter of 2015. As a result of forward oil price changes, Northern recognized a non-cash mark-to-market derivative loss of $18.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to a loss of $29.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Production Expenses
Production expenses were $11.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $11.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. On a per unit basis, production expenses increased to $9.31 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2016 from $8.15 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2015 due to a 13% decline in production levels over which fixed costs are spread. Although the total net producing well count increased by 4%, aggregate production expenses declined due to reductions in contract labor and maintenance costs.
Production Taxes
Production taxes were $4.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $4.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. As a percentage of oil and natural gas sales, production taxes were 9.5% and 10.8% in the fourth quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively. This decrease in production tax rates as a percentage of oil and gas sales in the fourth quarter of 2016 is due to a lower oil production tax rate in North Dakota, which dropped to 10% beginning in 2016.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense was $3.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $5.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease was due to a $3.0 million reduction in compensation expenses, primarily driven by a decrease in incentive compensation, partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in legal and other professional fees.
Depletion, Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion
Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion ("DD&A") was $13.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $24.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Depletion expense, the largest component of DD&A, was $13.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $24.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. On a per unit basis, depletion expense was $10.61 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $16.59 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decrease was due to the impairment of oil and gas properties in 2015 and 2016, which has lowered the depletable base.
Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties
No impairment of oil and gas properties was required in the fourth quarter of 2016. Northern recorded a non-cash ceiling test impairment of $167.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The impairment charge affected reported net income but did not reduce cash flow.
Interest Expense
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was $16.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $16.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Income Tax Provision
Northern recognized a $1.4 million income tax benefit during the fourth quarter of 2016 as compared to no income tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2015. In 2016, Northern utilized $1.4 million of its alternative minimum tax credit as a result of favorable tax incentives within The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015.
Net Loss
Northern recorded a net loss of $12.3 million, or a loss of $0.20 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to a net loss of $172.3 million, or a loss of $2.84 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2015. The net loss in the fourth quarter of 2016 was impacted by lower realized commodity prices and production levels and a non-cash loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments that was partially offset by $1.4 million in income tax benefit. The net loss in the fourth quarter of 2015 was impacted by a $167.1 million impairment charge.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Income for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $2.4 million (representing $0.04 per diluted share), compared to $15.6 million (representing $0.25 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of 2015. Northern defines Adjusted Net Income as net income excluding (i) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, net of tax, (ii) restructuring costs, net of tax, (iii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties, net of tax, and (iv) write-off of debt issuance costs, net of tax. The decrease in Adjusted Net Income in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 was primarily due to lower realized commodity prices and production volumes, which were partially offset by lower depletion expense and other operating expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $35.1 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $67.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2016 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 is primarily due to lower realized commodity prices and production volumes. Northern defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, (iv) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, (v) non-cash share based compensation expense, (vi) write-off of debt issuance costs and (vii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the accompanying financial tables found later in this release. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of current financial performance. Specifically, management believes the non-GAAP results included herein provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses and unrealized derivatives gains and losses that management believes are not indicative of Northern's core operating results. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring Northern's performance, and management believes it is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes.

Oil and Natural Gas Sales
In 2016, oil, natural gas and NGL sales, excluding the effect of settled derivatives, decreased 21% from 2015, driven primarily by a 16% decrease in production and a 7% decrease in average oil sales price. The lower average realized price per Boe, excluding the effect of settled derivatives, in 2016 as compared to 2015 was primarily driven by lower average NYMEX oil and gas prices, which were partially offset by a lower oil price differential. Oil price differential during 2016 averaged $8.25 per barrel, as compared to $9.42 per barrel in 2015.

Northern's average realized price, including all cash derivative settlements, received during 2016 was $44.27 per Boe compared to $61.19 per Boe in 2015. The gain on settled derivatives increased Northern's average realized price per Boe by $12.31 in 2016 and increased average realized price per Boe by $27.10 in 2015.
As a result of forward oil price changes, Northern recognized a non-cash mark-to-market derivative loss of $76.3 million in 2016 compared to a loss of $88.7 million in 2015. At December 31, 2016, all derivative contracts were recorded at their fair value, which was a net liability of $11.7 million, a decrease of $76.3 million from the $64.6 million net asset recorded as of December 31, 2015.
Production Expenses
Production expenses decreased from $52.1 million in 2015 to $45.7 million in 2016. On a per unit basis, production expenses increased 4% from $8.77 per Boe in 2015 to $9.14 per Boe in 2016. The higher cost on a per unit basis in 2016 is primarily due to lower production levels over which fixed costs are spread. On an absolute dollar basis, production expenses in 2016 were 12% lower when compared to 2015 due primarily to lower contract labor and maintenance costs and reduced variable costs on lower production levels, which was partially offset by a 4% increase in the total number of net wells.
Production Taxes
Northern pays production taxes based on realized crude oil and natural gas sales. These costs were $15.5 million in 2016 compared to $21.6 million in 2015. The $6.1 million decrease in production taxes in 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily due to the decline in oil, natural gas and NGL sales, excluding the effect of settled derivatives. As a percentage of oil and natural gas sales, production taxes were 9.7% in 2016 compared to 10.6% in 2015.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense was $14.8 million for 2016 compared to $19.0 million for 2015. General and administrative expenses in 2016 as compared to 2015 were lower due primarily to $5.9 million in lower compensation expenses, which was due in large part to the termination of the employment of the company's former chief executive officer, which resulted in the reversal of $3.2 million in compensation expenses. Additionally, compensation expenses in 2016 as compared to 2015 were lower due to workforce reductions that occurred in 2015. Partially offsetting the lower compensation expenses in 2016 was a $1.9 million increase in legal and other professional fees.
Depletion, Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion
Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion ("DD&A") was $61.2 million in 2016 compared to $137.8 million in 2015. Depletion expense, the largest component of DD&A, was $12.13 per Boe in 2016 compared to $23.07 per Boe in 2015. The aggregate decrease in depletion expense for 2016 compared to 2015 was driven by a 47% decrease in the depletion rate per Boe, as well as a 16% decrease in production levels. The 2016 depletion rate per Boe was lower due to the impairment of oil and gas properties, which lowered the depletable base.
Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties
As a result of low prevailing commodity prices and their effect on the proved reserve values of properties in 2016, Northern recorded a non-cash ceiling test impairment of $237.0 million in 2016 compared to $1.2 billion in 2015. The impairment charge affected reported net income but did not reduce cash flow.
Interest Expense
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was $64.5 million in 2016 compared to $58.4 million in 2015. The increase in interest expense for 2016 as compared to 2015 was primarily due to an increase in average borrowings outstanding between periods and a lower amount of capitalized interest cost. In May 2015, Northern issued $200 million of 8% senior unsecured notes.
Income Tax Provision
The income tax benefit recognized during 2016 was $1.4 million as compared to an income tax benefit of $202.4 million in 2015. The effective tax rate in 2016 was 0.5% compared to an effective tax rate of 17.2% in 2015. The lower effective tax rate in 2016 and 2015 relates to the $341.3 million valuation allowance placed on the net deferred tax asset due to uncertainty regarding their realization. In 2016, Northern utilized $1.4 million of its alternative minimum tax credit as a result of favorable tax incentives within The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015.
Net Loss
Northern recorded a net loss of $293.5 million, or approximately $4.80 per diluted share, for 2016, compared to a net loss of $975.4 million, or approximately $16.08 per diluted share, for 2015. Net losses in 2016 and 2015 were impacted by the non-cash impairment of oil and natural gas properties, the valuation allowance placed on the net deferred tax asset, and a non-cash loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Northern defines Adjusted Net Income as net income excluding (i) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, net of tax, (ii) restructuring costs, net of tax, (iii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties, net of tax and (iv) write-off of debt issuance costs, net of tax. Adjusted Net Income for 2016 was $12.2 million (representing approximately $0.20 per diluted share) as compared to Adjusted Net Income for 2015 of $47.6 million (representing approximately $0.78 per diluted share). The decrease in Adjusted Net Income in 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily due to lower realized commodity prices and production volumes, as well as higher interest costs, which were partially offset by lower depletion expense and other operating expenses.
Northern defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion, (iv) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, (v) non-cash share based compensation expense, (vi) write-off of debt issuance costs and (vii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties. Adjusted EBITDA for 2016 was $148.5 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $277.3 million for 2015. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA in 2016 as compared to 2015 is primarily due to lower production levels and lower realized commodity prices.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the accompanying financial tables found later in this release.

WAYZATA, Minn., Nov. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE MKT: NOG) today announced 2016 third quarter results and completion of the semi-annual redetermination of the borrowing base under Northern's revolving credit facility.
HIGHLIGHTS
Northern's adjusted net income for the third quarter was $2.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. GAAP net loss for the quarter was $45.6 million, or a loss of $0.74 per diluted share, which was impacted by a $43.8 million non-cash impairment charge and a $5.6 million loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $33.0 million. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information on these measures.
MANAGEMENT COMMENT
Northern has seen significant improvements in well productivity due to the widespread adoption of enhanced completion techniques and focus of drilling activity in the core of the play. The wells that Northern drilled and completed in 2015 are tracking an average type curve that would yield an estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) of 800,000 Boe, and early results for wells drilled and completed in 2016 are tracking a 900,000 Boe EUR average type curve. At the same time, average drilling and completion costs have declined materially, with average AFE costs of $7.1 million for wells consented during the first nine months of 2016. These improvements, together with Northern's proactive management of its capital spending, have helped the company reduce debt by $30 million during 2016, which leaves Northern with a strong liquidity position following today's reaffirmation of the borrowing base.
GUIDANCE
Northern continues to expect 2016 total production to be down approximately 15% compared to 2015 production levels. Management's current expectations for fourth quarter 2016 operating metrics are as follows:
4th Quarter 2016 | ||
Operating Expenses: |
||
Production Expenses (per Boe) |
$8.75 - $9.25 | |
Production Taxes (% of Oil & Gas Sales) |

General and Admin. Expense (per Boe) |
$3.50 - $4.00 | |
Average Differential to NYMEX WTI |
($8.00) to ($10.00) |
LIQUIDITY
At September 30, 2016, Northern had $120 million in outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility, down from $150 million at December 31, 2015. On November 8th the borrowing base under the revolving credit facility was reaffirmed at $350 million, providing quarter-end liquidity of $233.3 million, composed of $3.3 million in cash and $230.0 million of revolving credit facility availability.
HEDGING
Northern hedges portions of its expected production volumes to increase the predictability of its cash flow and to help maintain a strong financial position. The following table summarizes Northern's open crude oil swap derivative contracts scheduled to settle after September 30, 2016.

Oil and Natural Gas Sales
In the third quarter of 2016, oil, natural gas and NGL sales, excluding the effect of settled derivatives, decreased 16% as compared to the third quarter of 2015, driven by a 15% decrease in production and a 1% decrease in realized prices, excluding the effect of settled derivatives. Production in the third quarter of 2016 was negatively impacted by approximately 600 Boe per day due to wells shut-in while completion activities occurred on offsetting locations. The lower average realized price in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015 was principally driven by lower average NYMEX oil prices, which was partially offset by a lower oil price differential. Oil price differential during the third quarter of 2016 was $7.68 per barrel, as compared to $8.24 per barrel in the third quarter of 2015.
Derivative Instruments (Hedges)
Northern enters into derivative instruments to manage the price risk attributable to future oil production. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net is comprised of (i) cash gains and losses recognized on settled derivatives during the period, and (ii) non-cash mark-to-market gains and losses incurred on derivative instruments outstanding at period-end.

Northern's average realized price (including all cash derivative settlements) received during the third quarter of 2016 was $41.03 per Boe compared to $63.62 per Boe in the third quarter of 2015. The gain on settled derivatives increased Northern's average realized price per Boe by $7.30 in the third quarter of 2016 and by $29.47 in the third quarter of 2015.
As a result of forward oil price changes, Northern recognized a non-cash mark-to-market derivative loss of $5.6 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to a gain of $8.4 million in the third quarter of 2015.
Production Expenses
Production expenses were $10.9 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $12.6 million in the third quarter of 2015. On a per unit basis, production expenses increased from $8.62 per Boe in the third quarter of 2015 to $8.83 per Boe in the third quarter of 2016 due to a 15% decline in production levels over which fixed costs are spread, partially offset by a reduction in the aggregate dollar amount of production expenses. Although the total producing well count increased by 3%, aggregate production expenses declined due to reductions in contract labor and maintenance costs.
Production Taxes
Lower production levels and commodity prices in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to the third quarter of 2015 has decreased our crude oil and natural gas sales, which has lowered the taxable base that is used to calculate production taxes. Production taxes were $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2015. As a percentage of oil and natural gas sales, our production taxes were 9.7% and 10.1% in the third quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively. This decrease in production tax rates as a percentage of oil and gas sales in the third quarter of 2016 is due to a lower oil production tax rate in North Dakota, which dropped to 10% beginning in 2016.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense was $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2015. A $2.2 million reduction in compensation expense was in large part due to the termination of the Company's chief executive officer in the third quarter of 2016, which resulted in the reversal of non-cash share-based compensation expense of approximately $1.8 million and lower salary expense of $0.1 million when compared to the third quarter of 2015. Cash general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2016 amounted to $2.8 million, a 19% decline compared to the third quarter of 2015.
Depletion, Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion
Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion ("DD&A") was $13.7 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $31.7 million in the third quarter of 2015. Depletion expense, the largest component of DD&A, decreased by $18.0 million in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to the third quarter of 2015. On a per unit basis, depletion expense was $10.96 per Boe in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $21.61 per Boe in the third quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decrease was due to the impairment of oil and gas properties in 2015 and 2016, which has lowered the depletable base.
Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties
As a result of currently prevailing low commodity prices and their effect on the proved reserve values of our properties, we recorded a non-cash ceiling test impairment of $43.8 million in the third quarter of 2016 and $354.4 million in the third quarter of 2015. The impairment charge affected our reported net income but did not reduce our cash flow.
Interest Expense
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was $16.1 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $16.2 million in the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in interest expense for the third quarter of 2016 as compared to the third quarter of 2015 was primarily due to a decrease in average borrowings outstanding.
Income Tax Provision
Northern recognized no income tax benefit during the third quarter of 2016 as compared to an income tax benefit of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2015.
Net Income
Northern recorded a net loss of $45.6 million, or a loss of $0.74 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2016, compared to a net loss of $323.2 million, or a loss of $5.33 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015. The net loss in the third quarter of 2016 was impacted by lower realized commodity prices and production levels, the non-cash impairment of oil and natural gas properties, and a non-cash loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Income for the third quarter of 2016 was $2.4 million (representing $0.04 per diluted share), compared to $14.6 million (representing $0.24 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2015. Northern defines Adjusted Net Income as net income excluding (i) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, net of tax, (ii) debt issuance cost write-off, net of tax, (iii) restructuring costs, net of tax and (iv) impairment of oil and natural gas properties, net of tax.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2016 was $33.0 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $71.7 million for the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily due to the lower average NYMEX oil prices, declining production levels, and reduced hedging levels in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015. Northern defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, (iv) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, (v) non-cash share based compensation expense, (vi) debt issuance cost write-off and (vii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the accompanying financial tables found later in this release. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of current financial performance. Specifically, management believes the non-GAAP results included herein provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses and unrealized derivatives gains and losses that management believes are not indicative of Northern's core operating results. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring Northern's performance, and management believes it is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes.

SAFE HARBOR
This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and future results that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this release regarding Northern's financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations, industry conditions, and indebtedness covenant compliance are forward-looking statements. When used in this release, forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by terms or phrases such as "estimate," "project," "predict," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "target," "plan," "intend," "seek," "goal," "will," "should," "may" or other words and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Items contemplating or making assumptions about actual or potential future sales, market size, collaborations, and trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond Northern's control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the following: changes in crude oil and natural gas prices, the pace of drilling and completions activity on Northern's properties, Northern's ability to acquire additional development opportunities, changes in Northern's reserves estimates or the value thereof, general economic or industry conditions, nationally and/or in the communities in which Northern conducts business, changes in the interest rate environment, legislation or regulatory requirements, conditions of the securities markets, Northern's ability to raise capital, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, financial or political instability, acts of war or terrorism, and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting Northern's operations, products, services and prices.
Northern has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and assumptions about future events. While management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Northern's control.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC is investigating potential claims on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. ("Northern Oil" or the "Company") (NYSE: NOG). Such investors are advised to contact Peretz Bronstein or his investor relations analyst, Yael Hurwitz at info@bgandg.com or 212-697-6484.
The investigation concerns whether Northern Oil and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On August 16, 2016, Northern Oil fired its Chief Executive Officer, Michael Reger, after he admitted to the Company that he is facing sanctions in a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigation. Northern Oil said that Reger was sent a Wells Notice from the SEC regarding its 2012 investigation of Dakota Plains Holdings Inc. Reger was an investor in Dakota Plains Holdings Inc. since 2008. Northern Oil announced that Reger was removed from its board, effective immediately, and that Northern Oil does not believe that Reger will be entitled to any severance payment. Following this news, Northern Oil stock dropped as much $0.31 per share, or 7.79%, to $3.67 during intraday trading on August 16, 2016.

Weber, Chairman of the Board of Directors. "Tom and the rest of the team at Northern have the full support and confidence of the Board to continue executing our proven strategy of acquiring and producing non-operated oil and gas interests in the Bakken Shale."
In light of the challenges of operating in a lower commodity price environment, Northern's Board has been evaluating strategic alternatives to increase shareholder value. To that end, the company engaged Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. as its financial advisor. "We are committed to positioning Northern to take advantage of opportunities for growth in an industry that is beginning to emerge from the worst commodity price correction in the last thirty years," stated Mr. Stoelk. "We are fortunate to maintain access to over $220 million of unused capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility and don't face a bond maturity until 2020." There can be no assurance that the review of strategic alternatives will result in a transaction. Northern does not intend to comment further regarding the evaluation of strategic alternatives.

WAYZATA, Minn., Aug. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE MKT: NOG) today announced 2016 second quarter results.
QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS
Northern's adjusted net income for the second quarter was $6.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share. GAAP net loss for the quarter was $109.0 million, or a loss of $1.78 per diluted share, which was impacted by an $88.9 million non-cash impairment charge and a $30.5 million loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $44.3 million. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information on these measures.
MANAGEMENT COMMENT
"Northern continues to be very selective with capital expenditures by allocating spending to only the highest rate of return drilling opportunities," commented Northern's Chief Executive Officer, Michael Reger. "Our financial position remains strong with liquidity of over $220 million, years of drilling inventory in the core of the Bakken and Three Forks play and a high quality backlog of wells awaiting completion."

Oil and Natural Gas Sales
In the second quarter of 2016, oil, natural gas and NGL sales decreased 33% as compared to the second quarter of 2015, driven by a 20% decrease in realized prices, excluding the effect of settled derivatives, and a 16% decrease in production. The lower average realized price in the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015 was principally driven by lower average NYMEX oil and gas prices, which were partially offset by a lower oil price differential. Oil price differential during the second quarter of 2016 was $8.08 per barrel, as compared to $11.50 per barrel in the second quarter of 2015.
Derivative Instruments (Hedges)
Northern enters into derivative instruments to manage the price risk attributable to future oil production. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net is comprised of (i) cash gains and losses recognized on settled derivatives during the period, and (ii) non-cash mark-to-market gains and losses incurred on derivative instruments outstanding at period-end.

Northern's average realized price (including all cash derivative settlements) received during the second quarter of 2016 was $49.30 per Boe compared to $62.22 per Boe in the second quarter of 2015. The gain on settled derivatives increased Northern's average realized price per Boe by $15.76 in the second quarter of 2016 and by $20.50 in the second quarter of 2015.
As a result of forward oil price changes, Northern recognized a non-cash mark-to-market derivative loss of $30.5 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to a loss of $53.2 million in the second quarter of 2015.
Production Expenses
Production expenses were $11.1 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2015. On a per unit basis, production expenses decreased to $8.74 per Boe in the second quarter of 2016 from $8.97 per Boe in the second quarter of 2015 due to a reduction in the aggregate dollar amount of production expenses that was partially offset by a 16% decline in production levels.
Production Taxes
Lower commodity prices in the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015 has decreased Northern's crude oil and natural gas sales, which has lowered the taxable base that is used to calculate production taxes. Production taxes were $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2015. As a percentage of oil and natural gas sales, production taxes were 9.9% and 10.9% in the second quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively. This decrease in production tax rates as a percentage of oil and gas sales in the second quarter of 2016 is due to a lower oil production tax rate in North Dakota, which dropped to 10% beginning in 2016.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense was $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2015. Higher non-cash compensation expense and higher legal and professional expense was offset by lower travel expense.
Depletion, Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion
Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion ("DD&A") was $16.2 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $36.7 million in the second quarter of 2015. Depletion expense, the largest component of DD&A, decreased by $20.6 million in the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015. On a per Boe basis, depletion expense was $12.64 per Boe in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $24.20 per Boe in the second quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decrease was due to the impairment of oil and gas properties in 2015 and the first half of 2016, which lowered the depletable base.
Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties
As a result of currently prevailing low commodity prices and their effect on the proved reserve values of the company's properties, Northern recorded a non-cash ceiling test impairment of $88.9 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $282.0 million in the second quarter of 2015. The impairment charge affected reported net income but did not reduce cash flow.
Interest Expense
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $14.4 million in the second quarter of 2015. The increase in interest expense for the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015 was primarily due to a higher average cost of borrowing between periods. In May 2015, Northern closed an offering of $200 million of 8.000% senior unsecured notes, which bear a higher interest rate as compared to borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
Income Tax Provision
Northern recognized no income tax benefit during the second quarter of 2016 as compared to an income tax benefit of $66.9 million or 21.1% in the second quarter of 2015.
Net Income
Northern recorded a net loss of $109.0 million, or a loss of $1.78 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2016, compared to a net loss of $250.1 million, or a loss of $4.12 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2015. The net loss in the second quarter of 2016 was impacted by lower commodity prices and production levels, the non-cash impairment of oil and natural gas properties, the valuation allowance placed on the net deferred tax asset, and a non-cash loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Income for the second quarter of 2016 was $6.5 million (representing $0.10 per diluted share), compared to $11.5 million (representing approximately $0.19 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2015. Northern defines Adjusted Net Income as net income excluding (i) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, net of tax, (ii) debt issuance cost write-off, net of tax and (iii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties, net of tax.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2016 was $44.3 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $70.4 million for the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily due to the lower average NYMEX oil prices, declining production levels, and reduced hedging levels in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015. Northern defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, (iv) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, (v) non-cash share based compensation expense, (vi) debt issuance cost write-off and (vii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the accompanying financial tables found later in this release. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of current financial performance. Specifically, management believes the non-GAAP results included herein provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses and unrealized derivatives gains and losses that management believes are not indicative of Northern's core operating results. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring Northern's performance, and management believes it is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes.

WAYZATA, Minn., May 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE MKT: NOG) today announced 2016 first quarter results, as well as a borrowing base redetermination and amendments under its revolving credit facility.
HIGHLIGHTS
Northern's adjusted net income for the first quarter was $0.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. GAAP net loss for the quarter was $126.6 million, or a loss of $2.08 per diluted share, which was impacted by a combined $127.4 million of non-cash impairment charges, losses on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments and write-off of debt issuance costs. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was $36.2 million. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information on these measures.
MANAGEMENT COMMENT
"Our long standing focus on capital discipline allowed Northern to reduce spending, generate free cash flow and pay down an additional $33 million of debt during the quarter," commented Northern's Chief Executive Officer, Michael Reger. "With our borrowing base redetermination and the improvements to our covenant requirements, we are in a strong liquidity position to continue the execution of our business plan."
LIQUIDITY
At March 31, 2016, Northern had $117 million in outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility, down from $150 million at December 31, 2015. On May 6th the amended borrowing base was set at $350 million, providing quarter-end liquidity of $237.4 million, composed of $4.4 million in cash and $233.0 million of revolving credit facility availability.
In connection with the borrowing base redetermination, the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility was amended to (i) reduce the minimum ratio of EBITDAX to interest expense that Northern will be required to maintain in future quarters, (ii) increase the interest rate on borrowings by 50 basis points and (iii) limit Northern's ability to maintain excess cash liquidity without using it to reduce outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
HEDGING
Northern hedges portions of its expected production volumes to increase the predictability of its cash flow and to help maintain a strong financial position. The following table summarizes Northern's open crude oil swap derivative contracts scheduled to settle after March 31, 2016.

Oil and Natural Gas Sales
In the first quarter of 2016, oil, natural gas and NGL sales decreased 44% as compared to the first quarter of 2015, driven by a 30% decrease in realized prices, excluding the effect of settled derivatives, and a 19% decrease in production. The lower average realized price in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015 was principally driven by lower average NYMEX oil and gas prices, which were partially offset by a lower oil price differential. Oil price differential during the first quarter of 2016 was $9.02 per barrel, as compared to $12.45 per barrel in the first quarter of 2015.
Beginning in 2016, certain of our operators began curtailing production due to their desire to produce the wells at higher prices than currently exist. We estimate the impact from this curtailed production reduced production in the first quarter of 2016 by approximately 1,600 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
Derivative Instruments (Hedges)
Northern enters into derivative instruments to manage the price risk attributable to future oil production. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net is comprised of (i) cash gains and losses recognized on settled derivatives during the period, and (ii) non-cash mark-to-market gains and losses incurred on derivative instruments outstanding at period-end.

Northern's average realized price (including all cash derivative settlements) received during the first quarter of 2016 was $43.64 per Boe compared to $59.16 per Boe in the first quarter of 2015. The gain on settled derivatives increased Northern's average realized price per Boe by $20.64 in the first quarter of 2016 and by $26.16 in the first quarter of 2015.
As a result of forward oil price changes, Northern recognized a non-cash mark-to-market derivative loss of $22.0 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to a loss of $14.3 million in the first quarter of 2015.
Production Expenses
Production expenses decreased from $14.2 million in the first quarter of 2015 to $12.0 million in the first quarter of 2016. On a per unit basis, production expenses increased 4% from the first quarter of 2015 to $9.70 per Boe in the first quarter of 2016 due to lower production levels.
Production Taxes
Northern pays production taxes based on realized crude oil and natural gas sales. These costs were $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $5.4 million in the first quarter of 2015. As a percentage of oil and natural gas sales, production taxes decreased to 9.8% in the first quarter of 2016 from 10.7% in the first quarter of 2015.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense was $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2015. Lower compensation expenses in the first quarter of 2016 were offset by higher legal and professional expenses.
Depletion, Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion
Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion ("DD&A") was $17.8 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $45.2 million in the first quarter of 2015. Depletion expense, the largest component of DD&A, decreased by $27.3 million in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the first quarter of 2015. On a per Boe basis, depletion expense was $14.35 per Boe in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $29.45 per Boe in the first quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decrease was due to the impairment of oil and gas properties, which lowered the depletable base.
Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties
As a result of current low commodity prices and their effect on the proved reserve values of properties, Northern recorded a non-cash ceiling test impairment of $104.3 million in the first quarter of 2016 and $360.4 million in the first quarter of 2015. The impairment charge affected reported net income but did not reduce cash flow.
Interest Expense & Write-off of Debt Issuance Costs
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was $16.1 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $11.7 million in the first quarter of 2015. The increase in interest expense for the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the first quarter of 2015 was primarily due to a higher average cost of borrowing between periods. In May 2015, Northern closed a $200 million Senior Notes offering, and these notes bear a higher interest rate as compared to borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, $1.1 million of debt issuance costs were written-off as a result of the reduction in the borrowing base.
Income Tax Provision
Northern recognized no income tax benefit during the first quarter of 2016 due to a valuation allowance placed on its net deferred tax asset. This compares to an income tax benefit of $135.5 million or 37.1% in the first quarter of 2015.
Net Income
Northern recorded a net loss of $126.6 million, or a loss of $2.08 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2016, compared to a net loss of $229.7 million, or a loss of $3.79 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2015. The net loss in the first quarter of 2016 was impacted by the non-cash impairment of oil and natural gas properties, the valuation allowance placed on the net deferred tax asset, write-off of debt issuance costs and a non-cash loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Income for the first quarter of 2016 was $0.5 million (representing $0.01 per diluted share), compared to $6.0 million (representing approximately $0.10 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2015. Northern defines Adjusted Net Income as net income excluding (i) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, (ii) write-off of debt issuance costs and, (iii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties, net of tax.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2016 was $36.2 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $67.5 million for the first quarter of 2015. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily due to lower realized commodity prices and lower production in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. Northern defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion, (iv) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, (v) non-cash share based compensation expense, (vi) write-off of debt issuance costs and (vii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the accompanying financial tables found later in this release. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of current financial performance. Specifically, management believes the non-GAAP results included herein provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses and unrealized derivatives gains and losses that management believes are not indicative of Northern's core operating results. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring Northern's performance, and management believes it is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes.
FIRST QUARTER 2016 EARNINGS RELEASE CONFERENCE CALL

All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this release regarding Northern's financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations, industry conditions, and indebtedness covenant compliance are forward-looking statements. When used in this release, forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by terms or phrases such as "estimate," "project," "predict," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "target," "plan," "intend," "seek," "goal," "will," "should," "may" or other words and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Items contemplating or making assumptions about actual or potential future sales, market size, collaborations, and trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond Northern's control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the following: changes in crude oil and natural gas prices, the pace of drilling and completions activity on Northern's properties, Northern's ability to acquire additional development opportunities, changes in Northern's reserves estimates or the value thereof, general economic or industry conditions, nationally and/or in the communities in which Northern conducts business, changes in the interest rate environment, legislation or regulatory requirements, conditions of the securities markets, Northern's ability to raise capital, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, financial or political instability, acts of war or terrorism, and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting Northern's operations, products, services and prices.
Northern has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and assumptions about future events. While management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Northern's control.

WAYZATA, Minn., March 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE MKT: NOG) today announced 2015 fourth quarter and full year results.
2015 HIGHLIGHTS
Northern's adjusted net income for the year was $47.6 million, or $0.78 per diluted share. GAAP net loss for the year, which was impacted by a $1.2 billion non-cash impairment charge, was $975.4 million, or a loss of $16.08 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA for the year was $277.3 million. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information on these measures.
MANAGEMENT COMMENT
"Our strategic business model and capital discipline allowed Northern to reduce spending and generate free cash flow in the second half of 2015, while others were struggling to reach cash flow neutrality. Despite cutting our capital expenditures by 76% this year, we were still able to exceed guidance and grow production by 3%," commented Northern's Chief Executive Officer, Michael Reger. "We will continue to focus on protecting our balance sheet and maintaining a strong liquidity position through a disciplined and returns-based capital allocation approach."
LIQUIDITY
At December 31, 2015, Northern had $150 million in outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility, down from $188 million at June 30, 2015. With a $550 million borrowing base under the revolving credit facility, Northern had approximately $403.4 million of available liquidity at year-end, including cash on-hand. As of March 1, 2016, outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility had been further reduced to $125 million. As of March 1, 2016, the estimated cash settlement value of all of Northern's derivative instruments scheduled for settlement during 2016 was $74.0 million.
HEDGING
Northern hedges portions of its expected production volumes to increase the predictability of its cash flow and to help maintain a strong financial position. The following table summarizes Northern's open crude oil swap derivative contracts scheduled to settle after December 31, 2015.

Capital expenditures continued to trend lower throughout 2015. For the year, the weighted average authorization for expenditure (or AFE) cost for wells that Northern elected to participate in (consented) was $7.7 million; however, these costs were based on original AFE estimates and actual costs may be lower.
2016 CAPITAL BUDGET
Northern has approved a 2016 capital expenditure budget of up to $99.8 million for development and acreage acquisitions. The amount, timing and allocation of capital expenditures are highly discretionary and subject to a variety of factors, including commodity prices and the timing of drilling and completion activities on Northern's properties.
ACREAGE
As of December 31, 2015, Northern controlled approximately 165,908 net acres targeting the Williston Basin Bakken and Three Forks formations. In 2015, Northern acquired leasehold interests covering an aggregate of approximately 4,355 net acres, for an average cost of $1,314 per net acre. In the fourth quarter, Northern acquired leasehold interests covering an aggregate of approximately 1,198 net acres, for an average cost of $1,970 per net acre. As of December 31, 2015, approximately 80% of Northern's North Dakota acreage position, and approximately 73% of Northern's total acreage position, was developed, held by production or held by operations.
2015 YEAR-END RESERVES
Based on reports prepared by Ryder Scott Company, L.P., Northern's estimated total proved reserves at December 31, 2015 were approximately 65.3 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBoe). Pre-Tax PV-10 of the proved reserves as of December 31, 2015 is approximately $575.7 million, with 90% of that value categorized as proved developed. The reserves were 87% oil.
Additional information regarding Northern's proved reserves, including estimated future cash flows, discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent before giving effect to income taxes (commonly known as Pre-Tax PV-10 value, which may be considered a non-GAAP measure), is attached at the end of this release.

Oil and Natural Gas Sales
In the fourth quarter of 2015, oil, natural gas and NGL sales, excluding the effect of settled derivatives, decreased 58% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, driven by a 52% decrease in realized prices and a 13% decrease in production. The lower average realized price in the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was principally driven by lower average NYMEX oil and gas prices, which were partially offset by a lower oil price differential. Oil price differential during the fourth quarter of 2015 was $8.30 per barrel, as compared to $12.89 per barrel in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Derivative Instruments (Hedges)
Northern enters into derivative instruments to manage the price risk attributable to future oil production. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net is comprised of (i) cash gains and losses recognized on settled derivatives during the period, and (ii) non-cash mark-to-market gains and losses incurred on derivative instruments outstanding at period-end.

Northern's average realized price (including all cash derivative settlements) received during the fourth quarter of 2015 was $59.83 per Boe compared to $67.49 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2014. The gain (loss) on settled derivatives increased Northern's average realized price per Boe by $32.62 in the fourth quarter of 2015 and by $10.40 in the fourth quarter of 2014.
As a result of forward oil price changes, Northern recognized a non-cash mark-to-market derivative loss of $29.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to a $145.8 million gain in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Production Expenses
Production expenses decreased from $16.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 to $11.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. On a per unit basis, production expenses decreased 17% from the fourth quarter of 2014 to $8.15 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2015 primarily as a result of lower contract labor and maintenance costs.
Production Taxes
Northern pays production taxes based on realized crude oil and natural gas sales. These costs were $4.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $9.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The $5.4 million decrease in production taxes in 2015 compared to 2014 was due to the decline in oil, natural gas and NGL sales, excluding the effect of settled derivatives. As a percentage of oil and natural gas sales, production taxes increased slightly to 10.8% in the fourth quarter of 2015.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense was $5.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $4.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 were comprised of $2.8 million of cash expense and $3.0 million of non-cash expense. The increase in 2015 was primarily due to $1.8 million in higher compensation expense which was partially offset by lower legal and professional expenses ($0.5 million) and travel costs ($0.3 million). The higher compensation costs during the quarter were primarily driven by $1.9 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense recognized in connection with a new employment agreement with Northern's chief executive officer that was partially offset by Northern's workforce reduction.
Depletion, Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion
Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion ("DD&A") was $24.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $48.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Depletion expense, the largest component of DD&A, was $16.59 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $29.45 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2014. The decrease in 2015 was due to impairment of oil and gas properties, which lowered the depletable base.
Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties
As a result of current low commodity prices and their effect on the proved reserve values of properties in 2015, Northern recorded a non-cash ceiling test impairment of $167.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Northern did not have any impairment of its proved oil and gas properties in the fourth quarter of 2014. The impairment charge affected reported net income but did not reduce cash flow.
Interest Expense
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was $16.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $11.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase in interest expense for 2015 as compared to 2014 was primarily due to different weighted average debt amounts outstanding between periods, as well as the higher interest rate applicable to the senior notes, compared to borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
Income Tax Provision
Northern recognized no income tax benefit during the fourth quarter of 2015 due to a valuation allowance placed on its deferred tax asset. This compares to an income tax provision of $63.0 million or 37.8% of income before income taxes in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Net Income
Northern recorded a net loss of $172.3 million, or approximately $2.84 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to a net gain of $103.6 million, or approximately $1.71 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2014. Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2015 was impacted by the non-cash impairment of oil and natural gas properties, the valuation allowance placed on the net deferred tax asset, and a non-cash loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $15.6 million (representing approximately $0.25 per diluted share), compared to $12.8 million (representing approximately $0.21 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of 2014. Northern defines Adjusted Net Income as net income excluding (i) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, net of tax, (ii) restructuring costs, net of tax, (iii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties, net of tax and (iv) certain legal settlements, net of tax.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $67.7 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $81.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily due to lower realized commodity prices in 2015 compared to 2014. Northern defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion, (iv) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, (v) non-cash share based compensation expense and (vi) impairment of oil and natural gas properties.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the accompanying financial tables found later in this release. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of current financial performance. Specifically, management believes the non-GAAP results included herein provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses and unrealized derivatives gains and losses that management believes are not indicative of Northern's core operating results. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring Northern's performance, and management believes it is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes.

Oil and Natural Gas Sales
In 2015, oil, natural gas and NGL sales, excluding the effect of settled derivatives, decreased 53% as compared to 2014, driven by a 54% decrease in realized prices, partially offset by a 3% increase in production. Oil price differential during 2015 was $9.42 per barrel, as compared to $13.67 per barrel in 2014.
Derivative Instruments (Hedges)
Northern enters into derivative instruments to manage the price risk attributable to future oil production. Gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net is comprised of (i) cash gains and losses recognized on settled derivatives during the period, and (ii) non-cash mark-to-market gains and losses incurred on derivative instruments outstanding at period-end.

Northern's average realized price (including all cash derivative settlements) received during 2015 was $61.19 per Boe compared to $73.51 per Boe in 2014. The gain (loss) on settled derivatives increased Northern's average realized price per Boe by $27.10 in 2015 and decreased average realized price per Boe by $1.36 in 2014.
As a result of forward oil price changes, Northern recognized a non-cash mark-to-market derivative loss of $88.7 million in 2015 compared to a gain of $171.3 million in 2014. At December 31, 2015, all derivative contracts were recorded at their fair value, which was a net asset of $64.6 million, a decrease of $88.7 million from the $153.3 million net asset recorded as of December 31, 2014.
Production Expenses
Production expenses decreased from $55.7 million in 2014 to $52.1 million in 2015. On a per unit basis, production expenses decreased 9% or $0.89 per Boe to $8.77 per Boe in 2015 compared to 2014. The lower cost on a per unit basis in 2015 is primarily due to reduced contract labor and maintenance costs.
Production Taxes
Northern pays production taxes based on realized crude oil and natural gas sales. These costs were $21.6 million in 2015 compared to $43.7 million in 2014. The $22.1 million decrease in production taxes in 2015 compared to 2014 was due to the decline in oil, natural gas and NGL sales, excluding the effect of settled derivatives. As a percentage of oil and natural gas sales, production taxes increased slightly to 10.6% in 2015 compared to 10.1% in 2014.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense was $19.0 million for 2015 compared to $17.6 million for 2014. General and administrative expenses in 2015 as compared to 2014 included higher compensation expenses of $3.9 million that included $0.5 million of restructuring expenses incurred in connection with workforce reductions in response to the current low commodity price environment and $1.9 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense recognized in connection with a new employment agreement with Northern's chief executive officer. Partially offsetting the higher compensation amounts were cost reductions in legal and professional expenses ($1.4 million), travel expenses ($0.6 million) and insurance expenses ($0.5 million). General and administrative expenses for 2015 were comprised of $12.8 million of cash expense and $6.2 million of non-cash expense.
Depletion, Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion
Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion ("DD&A") was $137.8 million in 2015 compared to $172.9 million in 2014. Depletion expense, the largest component of DD&A, was $23.07 per Boe in 2015 compared to $29.86 per Boe in 2014.
Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties
As a result of currently prevailing low commodity prices and their effect on the proved reserve values of properties in 2015, Northern recorded a non-cash ceiling test impairment of $1.2 billion in 2015. Northern did not have any impairment of its proved oil and gas properties in 2014. The impairment charge affected reported net income but did not reduce cash flow.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $58.4 million in 2015 compared to $42.1 million in 2014. The increase in interest expense for 2015 as compared to 2014 was primarily due to different weighted average debt amounts outstanding between periods, as well as the higher interest rate applicable to the senior notes, compared to borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
Income Tax Provision
The income tax benefit recognized during 2015 was $202.4 million or 17.2% of the loss before income taxes, as compared to an income tax provision of $99.4 million or 37.8% of income before income taxes in 2014. The lower effective tax rate in 2015 relates to the $232.3 million valuation allowance placed on the net deferred tax asset in 2015, in addition to state income taxes and estimated permanent differences.
Net Income
Northern recorded a net loss of $975.4 million, or approximately $16.08 per diluted share, for 2015, compared to a net gain of $163.7 million, or approximately $2.69 per diluted share, for 2014. Net loss in 2015 was impacted by the non-cash impairment of oil and natural gas properties, the valuation allowance placed on the net deferred tax asset, and a non-cash loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Income for 2015 was $47.6 million (representing approximately $0.78 per diluted share) as compared to Adjusted Net Income for 2014 of $57.5 million (representing approximately $0.95 per diluted share). For 2015, the decrease in Adjusted Net Income is primarily due to lower realized commodity prices as well as higher interest expense, which were partially offset by lower depletion expense. Northern defines Adjusted Net Income as net income excluding (i) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, net of tax, (ii) restructuring costs, net of tax, (iii) impairment of oil and natural gas properties, net of tax and (iv) certain legal settlements, net of tax.
Adjusted EBITDA for 2015 was $277.3 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $309.6 million for 2014. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA in 2015 as compared to 2014 is primarily due to lower realized commodity prices. Northern defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion, (iv) (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of derivative instruments, (v) non-cash share based compensation expense and (vi) impairment of oil and natural gas properties.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the accompanying financial tables found later in this release.

SAFE HARBOR
This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and future results that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this release regarding Northern's financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations, industry conditions, and indebtedness covenant compliance are forward-looking statements. When used in this release, forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by terms or phrases such as "estimate," "project," "predict," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "target," "plan," "intend," "seek," "goal," "will," "should," "may" or other words and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Items contemplating or making assumptions about actual or potential future sales, market size, collaborations, and trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond Northern's control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the following: changes in crude oil and natural gas prices, the pace of drilling and completions activity on Northern's properties, Northern's ability to acquire additional development opportunities, changes in Northern's reserves estimates or the value thereof, general economic or industry conditions, nationally and/or in the communities in which Northern conducts business, changes in the interest rate environment, legislation or regulatory requirements, conditions of the securities markets, Northern's ability to raise capital, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, financial or political instability, acts of war or terrorism, and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting Northern's operations, products, services and prices.
Northern has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and assumptions about future events. While management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Northern's control.

The SEC Pricing Proved Reserves table above values oil and natural gas reserve quantities and related discounted future net cash flows as of December 31, 2015 assuming constant realized prices of $50.28 per barrel of oil and $2.58 per Mcf of natural gas, which includes an uplift factor of 0.6 to reflect liquids and condensates (natural gas liquids are included with natural gas). Under SEC guidelines, these prices represent the average prices per barrel of oil and per Mcf of natural gas at the beginning of each month in the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, which averages are then adjusted to reflect applicable transportation and quality differentials. The average resulting price used as of December 31, 2015 was $42.03 per barrel of oil and $1.63 per Mcf of natural gas. |
(2) |
Boe are computed based on a conversion ratio of one Boe for each barrel of oil and one Boe for every 6,000 cubic feet (i.e., 6 Mcf) of natural gas. |

Pre-tax PV10%, or "PV-10," may be considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC and is derived from the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. |
The table above assumes prices and costs discounted using an annual discount rate of 10% without future escalation, without giving effect to non-property related expenses such as general and administrative expenses, debt service and depreciation, depletion and amortization, or federal income taxes. The information in the table above does not give any effect to or reflect our commodity derivatives.
Reconciliation of PV-10 to Standardized Measure
PV-10 is derived from the Standardized Measure of discounted future net cash flows, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. PV-10 is a computation of the Standardized Measure of discounted future net cash flows on a pre-tax basis. PV-10 is equal to the Standardized Measure of discounted future net cash flows at the applicable date, before deducting future income taxes, discounted at 10 percent. We believe that the presentation of PV-10 is relevant and useful to investors because it presents the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our estimated net proved reserves prior to taking into account future corporate income taxes, and it is a useful measure for evaluating the relative monetary significance of our oil and natural gas properties. Further, investors may utilize the measure as a basis for comparison of the relative size and value of our reserves to other companies. We use this measure when assessing the potential return on investment related to our oil and natural gas properties. PV-10, however, is not a substitute for the Standardized Measure of discounted future net cash flows. Our PV-10 measure and the Standardized Measure of discounted future net cash flows do not purport to represent the fair value of our oil and natural gas reserves.
The following table reconciles the pre-tax PV10% value of our SEC Pricing Proved Reserves as of December 31, 2015 to the Standardized Measure of discounted future net cash flows.

The expected tax benefits to be realized from utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are used in the computation of future income tax cash flows. As a result of available net operating loss carryforwards and the remaining tax basis of our assets at December 31, 2015, our future income taxes were significantly reduced. |
Uncertainties are inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves, including many risk factors beyond our control. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating subsurface accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. As a result, estimates of proved reserves may vary depending upon the engineer valuing the reserves. Further, our actual realized price for our oil and natural gas is not likely to average the pricing parameters used to calculate our proved reserves. As such, the oil and natural gas quantities and the value of those commodities ultimately recovered from our properties will vary from reserve estimates.
