Explanatory Note

 

Goodrich Petroleum Corporation is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10Q/A (the “Amended Report”) to amend our Quarterly Report for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, that was originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 11, 2020 (the “Original Report”), to restate our condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2020. Consequently, the previously filed unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2020, should no longer be relied upon. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Amended Report to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or similar terms refer to Goodrich Petroleum Corporation and its subsidiaries.

 

In accordance with applicable SEC rules, this Amended Report also includes new certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, from our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”),  (collectively, “Management”), dated as of the date of filing this Amended Report.

 

Background

 

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 6, 2020, the Company determined, in consultation with the Company’s independent auditors, that the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 included in the Original Report should no longer be relied upon as the Original Report contained a material error. Specifically, subsequent to the period ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s Management discovered that data used to calculate the PV-10 value of our reserves in the full cost ceiling test understated future development costs.

 

This error resulted in impairment of oil and natural gas properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 being understated by $7.3 million in the Original Report. With this error being corrected in this Amended Report, net loss increased by $7.3 million. Additionally, the change impacted our basic and diluted net loss per common share calculations. See restated Note 1—“Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Amended Report for the adjustments to the consolidated financial statements related to this misstatement. The Company has also made corresponding amendments to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Because these revisions are treated as corrections of errors to our prior period financial results, the revisions are considered to be an “amendment” under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). Accordingly, the revised financial information included in this Amended Report has been identified as “As Restated.” In connection with the corrections made in this Amended Report, Management re-evaluated its conclusions regarding our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020 and concluded that a deficiency in the design and maintenance of our internal controls related to the estimated PV-10 of reserves, which impacted the full cost ceiling calculation, represented a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020. This Amended Report reflects this determination as of June 30, 2020. For a description of the material weakness identified by Management and the remediation efforts expected to be implemented to address that material weakness, see “Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures” included elsewhere in this Amended Report.

 

Items Amended in this Amended Report

 

The following sections in the Original Report are revised in this Amended Report, solely as a result of, and to reflect, the restatement:

 

 

Part I – Item 1. Financial Information

 

Part I – Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Part I – Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Part II – Item 6. Exhibits and Signatures

 

For the convenience of the reader, this Amended Report sets forth the information in the Original Report in its entirety, as such information is modified and superseded where necessary to reflect the restatements. This Amended Report does not amend, update or change any other items or disclosures in the Original Report and does not purport to reflect any information or events subsequent to the filing thereof. As such, this Amended Report speaks only as of the filing date of the Original Report, and the Company has not undertaken herein to amend, supplement or update any information contained in the Original Report to give effect to any subsequent events. Accordingly, this Amended Report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Report, including any amendment to those filings.

GOODRICH PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

NOTE 1—Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Goodrich Petroleum Corporation (“Goodrich” and, together with its subsidiary, Goodrich Petroleum Company, L.L.C. (the “Subsidiary”), “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) is an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas on properties primarily in (i) Northwest Louisiana and East Texas, which includes the Haynesville Shale Trend, (ii) Southwest Mississippi and Southeast Louisiana, which includes the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale Trend (“TMS”), and (iii) South Texas, which includes the Eagle Ford Shale Trend.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and accordingly, certain information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”) has been condensed or omitted. This information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or for any interim period.

 

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic, business and market disruptions is both on-going and continuing to evolve, and its future effects are uncertain. The Company has seen impacts related to COVID-19 on oil price fluctuations due to market uncertainty. The full impact of COVID-19 and related market impacts on the Company will depend on many factors, many of which are beyond management's control and knowledge. It is therefore difficult for management to assess or predict with precision the broad future effect of this health crisis on the global economy, the energy industry or the Company. As additional information becomes available, events or circumstances change and strategic operational decisions are made by management, adjustments may be required which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Restatement of Previously Issued Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Company has restated its unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 to correct an error in a component of the estimated PV-10 of its reserves, which impacted the full cost ceiling impairment of oil and natural gas properties. This error as of June 30, 2020 was identified in the course of preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

 

The following table presents the effect of the error correction discussed above on all affected line items of our previously issued consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2020.

Inventory –Inventory consists of casing and tubulars that are expected to be used in our capital drilling program. Inventory is carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the lower of cost or market.

 

Property and Equipment—Under US GAAP, two acceptable methods of accounting for oil and natural gas properties are allowed. These are the Successful Efforts Method and the Full Cost Method. Entities engaged in the production of oil and natural gas have the option of selecting either method for application in the accounting for their properties. The principal differences between the two methods are in the treatment of exploration costs, the computation of depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) expense and the assessment of impairment of oil and natural gas properties. We have elected to adopt the Full Cost Method of accounting. We believe that the true cost of developing a “portfolio” of reserves should reflect both successful and unsuccessful attempts at exploration and production. Application of the Full Cost Method better reflects the true economics of exploring for and developing our oil and gas reserves.

 

Under the Full Cost Method, we capitalize all costs associated with acquisitions, exploration, development and estimated abandonment costs. We capitalize internal costs that can be directly identified with the acquisition of leasehold, as well as drilling and completion activities, but do not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Unevaluated property costs are excluded from the amortization base until we make a determination as to the existence of proved reserves on the respective property or impairment. We review our unevaluated properties at the end of each quarter to determine whether the costs should be reclassified to proved oil and natural gas properties and thereby subject to DD&A and the full cost ceiling test. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we transferred less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, from unevaluated properties to proved oil and natural gas properties. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we transferred less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, from unevaluated properties to proved oil and natural gas properties. Our sales of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to net proved oil and natural gas properties with no gain or loss recognized, unless the adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves.

 

Under the Full Cost Method, we amortize our investment in oil and natural gas properties through DD&A expense using the units of production method. An amortization rate is calculated based on total proved reserves converted to equivalent thousand cubic feet of natural gas (“Mcfe”) as the denominator and the net book value of the evaluated oil and gas asset together with the estimated future development cost of the proved undeveloped reserves as the numerator. The rate calculated per Mcfe is applied against the periods' production also converted to Mcfe to arrive at the periods' DD&A expense.

 

Depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment, consisting of office furniture, computer hardware and software and leasehold improvements, is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which vary from three to five years.

 

Full Cost Ceiling Test—The Full Cost Method requires that at the conclusion of each financial reporting period, the present value of estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves (adjusted for hedges and excluding cash flows related to estimated abandonment costs), be compared to the net capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties, net of related deferred taxes. This comparison is referred to as a “ceiling test.” If the net capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties exceed the estimated discounted future net cash flows from proved reserves, we are required to write-down the value of our oil and natural gas properties to the value of the discounted cash flows. Estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves are calculated based on a 12-month average pricing assumption.

 

The Full Cost Ceiling Test performed as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 resulted in $14.1 million and zero write-down of the oil and gas properties, respectively. The low commodity prices experienced in the first half of 2020 lowered the latest 12-month average price used in the ceiling test resulting in the present value of future net cash flows being lower than our capitalized cost. We may continue to be required to impair our oil and gas properties in the future, if commodity prices do not recover to previous period levels.

Fair Value Measurement—Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, whether in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of non-performance, which includes, among other things, our credit risk.

 

We use various methods, including the income approach and market approach, to determine the fair values of our financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which depend on a number of factors, including the availability of observable market data over the contractual term of the underlying instrument. For some of our instruments, the fair value is calculated based on directly observable market data or data available for similar instruments in similar markets. For other instruments, the fair value may be calculated based on these inputs as well as other assumptions related to estimates of future settlements of these instruments. We separate our financial instruments into three levels (levels 1, 2 and 3) based on our assessment of the availability of observable market data and the significance of non-observable data used to determine the fair value of our instruments. Our assessment of an instrument can change over time based on the maturity or liquidity of the instrument, which could result in a change in the classification of the instruments between levels.

 

Each of these levels and our corresponding instruments classified by level are further described below:

 

 

Level 1 Inputs— unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. We have no Level 1 instruments;

 

Level 2 Inputs— quotes that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Included in this level are our senior credit facilities and commodity derivatives whose fair values are based on third-party quotes or available interest rate information and commodity pricing data obtained from third party pricing sources and our creditworthiness or that of our counter-parties; and

 

Level 3 Inputs— unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations, based on our various assumptions and future commodity prices. Included in this level would be our initial measurement of asset retirement obligations.

 

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables represented fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Asset Retirement Obligations—Asset retirement obligations are related to the abandonment and site restoration requirements that result from the exploration and development of our oil and natural gas properties. We record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Accretion expense is included in “Depreciation, depletion and amortization” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 3.

 

The estimated fair value of the Company’s asset retirement obligations at inception is determined by utilizing the income approach by applying a credit-adjusted risk-free rate, which takes into account the Company’s credit risk, the time value of money, and the current economic state, to the undiscounted expected abandonment cash flows. Given the unobservable nature of the inputs, the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligations was classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Revenue Recognition—Oil and natural gas revenues are generally recognized upon delivery of our produced oil and natural gas volumes to our customers. We record revenue in the month our production is delivered to the purchaser. However, settlement statements and payments for our oil and natural gas sales may not be received for up to 60 days after the date production is delivered, and as a result, we are required to estimate the amount of production delivered to the purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. We record a liability or an asset for natural gas balancing when we have sold more or less than our working interest share of natural gas production, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the net liability for natural gas balancing was immaterial. Differences between actual production and net working interest volumes are routinely adjusted. See Note 2.

 

Derivative Instruments—We use derivative instruments such as futures, forwards, swaps, collars, and options for purposes of hedging our exposure to fluctuations in the price of crude oil and natural gas and hedging our exposure to changing interest rates. Accounting standards related to derivative instruments and hedging activities require that all derivative instruments subject to the requirements of those standards be measured at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet. We offset the fair value of our asset and liability positions with the same counter-party for each commodity type. Changes in fair value are required to be recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. All of our realized gain or losses on our derivative contracts are the result of cash settlements. We have not designated any of our derivative contracts as hedges; accordingly, changes in fair value are reflected in earnings. See Note 8.

Income Taxes—We account for income taxes, as required, under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

We recognize, as required, the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. See Note 7.

 

Net Income or Net Loss Per Common Share—Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stock for each reporting period by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stock for each reporting period by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period, plus the effects of potentially dilutive restricted stock calculated using the treasury stock method and the potential dilutive effect of the conversion of convertible securities, such as warrants and convertible notes, into shares of our common stock. See Note 6.

 

Commitments and Contingencies—Liabilities for loss contingencies, including environmental remediation costs, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Recoveries from third parties, when probable of realization, are separately recorded and are not offset against the related environmental liability. See Note 9.

 

Share-Based Compensation—We account for our share-based transactions using the fair value as of the grant date and recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period.

 

Guarantee—As of June 30, 2020, Goodrich Petroleum Company, LLC, the wholly owned subsidiary of Goodrich Petroleum Corporation, was the Subsidiary Guarantor of our New 2L Notes (as defined below). The parent company has no independent assets or operations, the guarantee is full and unconditional, and the parent has no subsidiaries other than Goodrich Petroleum Company, LLC.

 

Debt Issuance Cost—The Company records debt issuance costs associated with its New 2L Notes (and previously with its Convertible Second Lien Notes, both as defined below) as a contra balance to long term debt, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, which is amortized straight-line over the life of the respective notes. Debt issuance costs associated with our revolving credit facility debt are recorded in other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, which is amortized straight-line over the life of such debt.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU adds new guidance to simplify accounting for income taxes, changes the accounting for certain income tax transactions and makes minor improvements to the codification. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein. We are evaluating the expected impact these amendments will have on our consolidated financial statements; however, we do not expect a material impact from the adoption of this ASU.

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments is this ASU provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this ASU provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying US GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this Update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by this ASU do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. We are evaluating the expected impact these amendments and reference rate reform will have on our consolidated financial statements and various contracts.

NOTE 2—Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, revenue is generally recognized upon delivery of our produced oil and natural gas volumes to our customers. Our customer sales contracts include oil and natural gas sales. Under Topic 606, each unit (Mcf or barrel) of commodity product represents a separate performance obligation which is sold at variable prices, determinable on a monthly basis. The pricing provisions of our contracts are primarily tied to a market index with certain adjustments based on factors such as delivery, product quality and prevailing supply and demand conditions in the geographic areas in which we operate. We allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation and recognize revenue upon delivery of the commodity product when the customer obtains control. Control of our produced natural gas volumes passes to our customers at specific metered points indicated in our natural gas contracts. Similarly, control of our produced oil volumes passes to our customers when the oil is measured either by a trucking oil ticket or by a meter when entering an oil pipeline. The Company has no control over the commodities after those points and the measurement at those points dictates the amount on which the customer's payment is based. Our oil and natural gas revenue streams include volumes burdened by royalty and non-operated working interests. Our revenues are recorded and presented on our financial statements net of the royalty and non-operated working interests. Our revenue stream does not include any payments for services or ancillary items other than sale of oil and natural gas.

 

We record revenue in the month our production is delivered to the purchaser. However, settlement statements and payments for our oil and natural gas sales may not be received for up to 60 days after the date production is delivered, and as a result, we are required to estimate the amount of production delivered to the purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. We record any differences, which historically have not been significant, between the actual amounts ultimately received and the original estimates in the period they become finalized. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, receivables from contracts with customers were $7.6 million and $11.3 million, respectively.

2017 Senior Credit Facility

 

On October 17, 2017, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (as amended, the “2017 Credit Agreement”) with the Subsidiary, as borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain lenders that are party thereto, which provided for revolving loans of up to the borrowing base then in effect (as amended, the “2017 Senior Credit Facility”). The 2017 Senior Credit Facility was set to mature on (a) October 17, 2021 or (b) December 30, 2019, if the Convertible Second Lien Notes had not been voluntarily redeemed, repurchased, refinanced or otherwise retired by December 30, 2019. The maximum credit amount under the 2017 Senior Credit Facility when it was paid off in full on May 14, 2019 was $250.0 million with a borrowing base of $75.0 million.

 

All amounts outstanding under the 2017 Senior Credit Facility bore interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option, either (i) the alternative base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75%, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base that was utilized, or (ii) adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.75% to 3.75%, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base that was utilized. Undrawn amounts under the 2017 Senior Credit Facility were subject to a 0.50% commitment fee.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The obligations under the 2017 Credit Agreement were secured by a first lien security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Subsidiary.

 

On May 14, 2019, the 2017 Senior Credit Facility was paid off in full and amended, restated and refinanced into the 2019 Senior Credit Facility. In connection with the refinancing, we recorded a $0.2 million loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs.

 

2019 Senior Credit Facility

 

On May 14, 2019, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (the “2019 Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the Subsidiary, as borrower (in such capacity, the “Borrower”), SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and certain lenders that are party thereto, which provides for revolving loans of up to the borrowing base then in effect (the “2019 Senior Credit Facility”).

 

The 2019 Senior Credit Facility matures on (a) May 14, 2024 or (b) December 3, 2021, if the New 2L Notes (as defined below) have not been voluntarily redeemed, repurchased, refinanced or otherwise retired by December 3, 2021, which is the date that is 180 days prior to the May 31, 2022 “Maturity Date” of the New 2L Notes. The 2019 Senior Credit Facility provides for a maximum credit amount of $500 million subject to a borrowing base limitation, which was $120 million as of June 30, 2020. The borrowing base is scheduled to be redetermined in March and September of each calendar year, and is subject to additional adjustments from time to time, including for asset sales, elimination or reduction of hedge positions and incurrence of other debt. Additionally, each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may request one unscheduled redetermination of the borrowing base between scheduled redeterminations. The amount of the borrowing base is determined by the lenders in their sole discretion and consistent with their oil and gas lending criteria at the time of the relevant redetermination. The Borrower may also request the issuance of letters of credit under the 2019 Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount up to $10 million, which reduce the amount of available borrowings under the borrowing base in the amount of such issued and outstanding letters of credit.

 

All amounts outstanding under the 2019 Senior Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) the alternative base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base that is utilized, or (ii) adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin from 2.50% to 3.50%, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base that is utilized. Undrawn amounts under the 2019 Senior Credit Facility are subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.50%, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base that is utilized. To the extent that a payment default exists and is continuing, all amounts outstanding under the 2019 Senior Credit Facility will bear interest at 2.0% per annum above the rate and margin otherwise applicable thereto. As of June 30, 2020, the weighted average interest rate on the borrowings from the 2019 Senior Credit Facility was 3.99%. The obligations under the 2019 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and secured by a first lien security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Borrower.

 

The 2019 Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders may declare all amounts outstanding under the 2019 Senior Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable.

 

The 2019 Credit Agreement also contains certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of (i) a ratio of Net Funded Debt to EBITDAX not to exceed 4.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, (ii) a current ratio (based on the ratio of current assets to current liabilities as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement) not to be less than 1.00 to 1.00 and (iii) until no New 2L Notes remain outstanding, a ratio of Total Proved PV-10 attributable to the Company’s and Borrower’s Proved Reserves to Total Secured Debt (net of any Unrestricted Cash not to exceed $10 million) not to be less than 1.50 to 1.00 and minimum liquidity requirements. On May 14, 2019, the Company utilized borrowings under the 2019 Senior Credit Facility to refinance its obligations under the 2017 Senior Credit Facility and to fund the Redemption (as defined below) of the Convertible Second Lien Notes.

 

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $95.4 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2019 Senior Credit Facility. The Company also had $2.0 million of unamortized debt issuance costs recorded as of June 30, 2020 related to the 2019 Senior Credit Facility.

 

As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants within the 2019 Senior Credit Facility.

Convertible Second Lien Notes

 

In October 2016, the Company issued $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 13.50% Convertible Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “Convertible Second Lien Notes”) along with 10-year costless warrants to acquire 2.5 million shares of common stock. Holders of the Convertible Second Lien Notes had a second priority lien on all assets of the Company, and holders of such warrants had a right to appoint two members to our Board of Directors (the “Board”) as long as such warrants were outstanding.

 

The Convertible Second Lien Notes were scheduled to mature on August 30, 2019 or six months after the maturity of our current revolving credit facility but in no event later than March 30, 2020. The Convertible Second Lien Notes bore interest at the rate of 13.50% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year. The Company also had the option under certain circumstances to pay all or any portion of interest in-kind on the then outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Second Lien Notes by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Convertible Second Lien Notes or by issuing additional second lien notes.

 

Upon issuance of the Convertible Second Lien Notes in October 2016, in accordance with accounting standards related to convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion as well as warrants on the debt instrument, we recorded a debt discount of $11.0 million, thereby reducing the $40.0 million carrying value upon issuance to $29.0 million and recorded an equity component of $11.0 million. The debt discount was amortized using the effective interest rate method based upon an original term through August 30, 2019. The Convertible Second Lien Notes were redeemed in full on May 29, 2019 for $56.7 million using borrowings under the 2019 Senior Credit Facility. In connection with the redemption of the Convertible Second Lien Notes, we recorded a $1.6 million loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the remaining unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs.

 

New Convertible Second Lien Notes 

 

On May 14, 2019, the Company and the Subsidiary entered into a purchase agreement with certain funds and accounts managed by Franklin Advisers, Inc., as investment manager (each such fund or account, together with its successors and assigns, a “New 2L Notes Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the New 2L Notes Purchasers (the “New 2L Notes Offering”) $12.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 13.50% Convertible Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (the “New 2L Notes”). The closing of the New 2L Notes Offering occurred on May 31, 2019. Proceeds from the sale of the New 2L Notes were primarily used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the 2019 Revolving Credit Facility. Holders of the New 2L Notes have a second priority lien on all assets of the Company.

 

The New 2L Notes, as set forth in the indenture governing such notes (as amended, the “New 2L Notes Indenture”), were initially scheduled to mature on May 31, 2021. In May 2020, the maturity date of the New 2L Notes was extended to May 31, 2022. The New 2L Notes bear interest at the rate of 13.50% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year. The Company may elect to pay all or any portion of interest in-kind on the then outstanding principal amount of the New 2L Notes by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding New 2L Notes.

 

The New 2L Notes Indenture contains certain covenants pertaining to us and our Subsidiary, including delivery of financial reports; environmental matters; conduct of business; use of proceeds; operation and maintenance of properties; collateral and guarantee requirements; indebtedness; liens; dividends and distributions; limits on sales of assets and stock; business activities; transactions with affiliates; and changes of control. The New 2L Notes Indenture also contains a financial covenant which requires the maintenance of a ratio of Total Proved PV-10 attributable to the Company's and Subsidiary's Proved Reserves (as defined in the New 2L Notes Indenture) to Total Secured Debt (net of any Unrestricted Cash not to exceed $10.0 million) not to be less than 1.50 to 1.00.

 

The New 2L Notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock at the conversion rate, which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of New 2L Notes to be converted, including any accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the conversion price, which shall initially be $21.33, subject to certain adjustments as described in the New 2L Notes Indenture. Upon conversion, the Company must deliver, at its option, either (1) a number of shares of its common stock determined as set forth in the New 2L Notes Indenture, (2) cash or (3) a combination of shares of its common stock and cash; however, the Company’s ability to redeem the New 2L Notes with cash is subject to the terms of the 2019 Senior Credit Agreement.

 

The New 2L Notes were issued and sold to the New 2L Notes Purchasers pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereunder. The Company has completed the registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of the resale of the New 2L Notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of The New 2L Notes.

 

Upon issuance of the New 2L Notes on May 31, 2019, in accordance with accounting standards related to convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, we recorded a debt discount of $1.4 million, thereby reducing the $12.0 million carrying value upon issuance to $10.6 million and recorded an equity component of $1.4 million. The equity component was valued using a binomial model. Prior to the maturity extension in May 2020, the debt discount was amortized using the effective interest rate method based upon an original term through May 31, 2021. Upon the maturity extension in May 2020, an additional $0.3 million of debt discount was recorded, and the debt discount began to be amortized using the effective interest rate method based upon the maturity date of May 31, 2022.

 

As of June 30, 2020, $1.1 million of debt discount and $0.2 million of debt issuance costs remained to be amortized on the New 2L Notes.

 

As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants within the New 2L Notes Indenture.

NOTE 5—Equity

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had vestings of its share-based compensation units upon the retirement of certain employees which resulted in the issuance of approximately 130,000 common stock shares. The Company withheld shares for payment of $0.3 million in taxes due upon vesting resulting in approximately 38,000 shares held in treasury as of June 30, 2020. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company did not have a material vesting of its share-based compensation units.

NOTE 7—Income Taxes

 

We recorded no income tax expense or benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019. We maintained a valuation allowance at June 30, 2020, which resulted in no net deferred tax asset or liability appearing on our statement of financial position with the exception of a current tax receivable related to alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credits. We recorded this valuation allowance after an evaluation of all available evidence (including commodity prices and our recent history of tax net operating losses in 2018 and prior years) led to a conclusion that based upon the more-likely-than-not standard of the accounting literature our deferred tax assets were unrecoverable. The valuation allowance was $74.2 million as of December 31, 2019, which resulted in a net non-current deferred tax asset of $0.4 million appearing on our statement of financial position at that time. The net $0.4 million deferred tax asset was reclassed to a current receivable as of June 30, 2020 and relates to AMT credits and accrued interest which are expected to be fully refunded in the third quarter of 2020. The valuation allowance has no impact on our net operating loss (“NOL”) position for tax purposes, and if we generate taxable income in future periods, we may be able to use our NOLs to offset taxable income at that time subject to any applicable tax limitations on the NOLs. Considering the Company’s taxable income forecasts, our assessment of the realization of our deferred tax assets has not changed, and we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2020.

 

As of June 30, 2020, we have no unrecognized tax benefits. There were no significant changes to our tax position since December 31, 2019.

Commodity Derivative Activity

 

We enter into swap contracts, costless collars or other derivative agreements from time to time to manage commodity price risk for a portion of our production. Our policy is that all derivatives are approved by the Hedging Committee of our Board, and reviewed periodically by the Board.

 

Despite the measures taken by us to attempt to control price risk, we remain subject to price fluctuations for natural gas and crude oil sold in the spot market. Prices received for natural gas sold on the spot market are volatile due primarily to seasonality of demand and other factors beyond our control. Decreases in domestic crude oil and natural gas spot prices will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and quantities of reserves recoverable on an economic basis. We routinely exercise our contractual right to net realized gains against realized losses when settling with our financial counter-parties. Neither our counter-parties nor we require any collateral upon entering into derivative contracts. We would have been at risk of losing $2.7 million and $0.4 million had RBC Capital Markets and Truist Bank, respectively, been unable to fulfill their obligations as of June 30, 2020Included in net gain on cash settlements of natural gas and oil derivatives contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was a $1.8 million gain from the cash settlement at the end of the quarter of our July 2020 natural gas derivative contracts.

NOTE 9—Commitments and Contingencies

 

We are party to various lawsuits from time to time arising in the normal course of business, including, but not limited to, royalty, contract, personal injury, and environmental claims. We have established reserves as appropriate for all such proceedings and intend to vigorously defend these actions. Management believes, based on currently available information, that adverse results or judgments from such actions, if any, would not have been material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

 

NOTE 10—Leases

 

We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We lease our corporate office building in Houston, Texas. We recognize lease expense for this lease on a straight-line basis over the lease term. This operating lease is included in furniture, fixtures and equipment and other capital assets, accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The operating lease asset and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As this lease did not provide an implicit rate, we used a collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date, including lease term, in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease asset includes any lease payments made but excludes annual operating charges. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and reported in general and administrative operating expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We have also entered into leases for certain vehicles and other equipment which are immaterial to our financial statements and have therefore not been recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 11—COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic, business and market disruptions is both on-going and continuing to evolve, and its future effects are uncertain. The Company has seen impacts related to COVID-19 on oil price fluctuations due to market uncertainty.

 

Starting in May 2020, as COVID-19 appeared to decrease or stabilize in certain areas, certain local, regional and national authorities began to loosen restrictions in various locations. While this relaxation of restrictions has led to an increased demand for oil and natural gas through improved general economic conditions, there has also been a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in June and continuing into July that could result in the reinstatement of restrictions, which could lower demand for oil and natural gas.

 

Because we predominately produce natural gas and natural gas has not been impacted by the same market forces as crude oil, we have experienced less of an impact from COVID-19 than many of our peers. However, the scope and length of the economic downturn in the face of COVID-19 and the ultimate effect on the price of natural gas and oil cannot be determined, and we could be adversely affected in future periods. Management is actively monitoring the impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2020.

Overview

 

Goodrich Petroleum Corporation (“Goodrich” and, together with its subsidiary, Goodrich Petroleum Company, L.L.C. (the "Subsidiary”), “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) is an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas on properties primarily in (i) Northwest Louisiana and East Texas, which includes the Haynesville Shale Trend, (ii) Southwest Mississippi and Southeast Louisiana, which includes the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale Trend (“TMS”), and (iii) South Texas, which includes the Eagle Ford Shale Trend.

 

We seek to increase shareholder value by growing our oil and natural gas reserves, production, revenues and cash flow from operating activities (“operating cash flow”). In our opinion, on a long term basis, growth in oil and natural gas reserves, cash flow and production on a cost-effective basis are the most important indicators of performance success for an independent oil and natural gas company.

 

 

We strive to increase our oil and natural gas reserves, production and cash flow through exploration and development activities. We develop an annual capital expenditure budget, which is reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) on a quarterly basis and revised throughout the year as circumstances warrant. We take into consideration our projected operating cash flow, commodity prices for oil and natural gas and externally available sources of financing, such as bank debt, asset divestitures, issuance of debt and equity securities, and strategic joint ventures, when establishing our capital expenditure budget.

 

We place primary emphasis on our operating cash flow in managing our business. Management considers operating cash flow a more important indicator of our financial success than other traditional performance measures such as net income because operating cash flow considers only the cash expenses incurred during the period and excludes the non-cash impact of unrealized hedging gains (losses), non-cash general and administrative expenses and impairments.

 

Our revenues and operating cash flow depend on the successful development of our inventory of capital projects with available capital, the volume and timing of our production, as well as commodity prices for oil and natural gas. Such pricing factors are largely beyond our control; however, we employ commodity hedging techniques in an attempt to minimize the volatility of short term commodity price fluctuations on our earnings and operating cash flow.

 

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic and related economic repercussions have created significant volatility, uncertainty and turmoil in the oil and gas industry. Throughout the first half of 2020, the effect of COVID-19 has lowered the demand for oil and natural gas and, in conjunction with the initial failure of Russia and OPEC to agree on production levels, resulted in an oversupply of crude oil with significant downward pressure on oil and natural gas prices. West Texas Intermediate crude oil closed at $21 per barrel on March 31, 2020 and generally remained at that level or lower through May 2020. In the second quarter of 2020, Russia and OPEC reached a supply curtailment agreement which has resulted in a gradual increase in oil and gas prices although not enough to alleviate the oversupply caused by lack of demand caused by COVID-19. The ultimate magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting governmental restrictions placing limitations on the mobility and ability to work of the worldwide population and the related impact on crude oil prices and the U.S. and global economy and capital markets remains uncertain. Because we predominately produce natural gas and natural gas has not been impacted by the same market forces as crude oil, we have experienced less of an impact from COVID-19 than many of our peers. However, the scope and length of this downturn and the ultimate effect on the price of natural gas cannot be determined and we could be adversely affected in future periods.

 

To mitigate the effects of the downturn in commodity prices due to the effects of COVID-19, we have reduced our capital expenditures planned for 2020 thereby conserving capital. We have initiated a company-wide cost reduction program eliminating outside services that are not core to our business. Additionally, we have substantial volumes of our production favorably hedged through the first quarter of 2022 and can further reduce our capital expenditures if necessary.

 

As a result of the steps we have taken to enhance our liquidity, we anticipate our cash on hand, cash from operations and our available borrowing capacity under our 2019 Senior Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our investing, financing, and working capital requirements into 2021.

 

We remain committed to the following priorities while navigating through the COVID-19 pandemic:

 

 

Ensure the health and safety of our employees and the contractors which provide services to us;

 

Continue to monitor the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has on demand for our products in addition to related commodity price impacts in order to adjust our business accordingly; and

 

Ensure we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic and current oil and natural gas price environment in as strong of a position as possible as we continue to move forward with our long-term strategies.

 

While the potential still exists for the COVID-19 pandemic to adversely affect our operations or employees’ health, as of the date of this filing, we have not experienced a significant disruption to our operations and we have implemented a contingency plan, with most employees working remotely where possible in compliance with governmental orders and CDC recommendations.

 

Primary Operating Areas

 

Haynesville Shale Trend

 

Our relatively low risk development acreage in this trend is primarily centered in Caddo, DeSoto and Red River parishes, Louisiana and Angelina and Nacogdoches counties, Texas. We have acquired or farmed-in leases totaling approximately 40,800 gross (22,800 net) acres as of June 30, 2020 in the Haynesville Shale Trend. We completed and produced 1 gross (0.8 net) new wells in the second quarter of 2020 and had 11 gross (3.0 net) wells in the drilling or completions phase as of June 30, 2020. Our net production volumes from our Haynesville Shale Trend wells represented approximately 97% of our total equivalent production on a Mcfe basis and substantially all of our natural gas production for the second quarter of 2020. We are focusing on increasing our natural gas production volumes through increased drilling in the Haynesville Shale Trend, where we plan to focus all of our 2020 drilling efforts.

 

Tuscaloosa Marine Shale Trend

 

We have acquired approximately 47,800 gross (33,200 net) lease acres in the TMS as of June 30, 2020 with approximately 39,300 gross (33,000 net) acres held by production. We have 2 gross (1.7 net) TMS wells drilled and awaiting completion. Our net production volumes from our TMS wells represented approximately 1% of our total equivalent production on a Mcfe basis and 85% of our total oil production for the second quarter of 2020. Despite no capital expenditures, we are seeking to maintain production through strategic expense workover operations in the TMS.

 

 

Eagle Ford Shale Trend

 

We have retained approximately 4,300 net acres of undeveloped leasehold in the Eagle Ford Shale Trend in Frio County, Texas as of June 30, 2020, which is prospective for future development or sale.

 

Results of Operations

 

The items that had the most material financial effect on our net loss of $22.9 million and $19.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to prior respective periods, were the decrease in revenues as a result of a substantial drop in oil and natural gas prices in addition to a mark-to-market loss on unsettled derivative contracts and an impairment expense. Please see “Revenues from Operations”, “Gain (Loss) on Commodity Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges” and “Impairment Expense” below for further discussion.

 

The item that had the most material financial effect on our net income of $11.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was a $12.7 million gain on derivatives not designated as hedges. The majority of the gain was attributable to mark-to-market valuation of our derivative positions due to natural gas futures prices being lower than our fixed prices. The items that had the most material financial effect on our net income of $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 in addition to the derivative gains mentioned above were oil and gas revenues, transportation and processing expense and depletion, depreciation and amortization expense. All these items increased compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, which was primarily attributable to production volume increases.

 

The following table reflects our summary operating information for the periods presented (in thousands, except for price and volume data). Because of normal production declines, increased or decreased drilling activity and the effects of acquisitions or divestitures, the historical information presented below should not be interpreted as indicative of future results.

Natural gas, oil and condensate revenues decreased by $11.4 million and $17.6 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by lower realized oil and natural gas prices, partially offset for the six month period by increased natural gas production volumes.

 

 

Operating Expenses

 

As described below, total operating expenses increased $12.5 million and $15.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The increase in total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to impairment expense offset by lower depreciation, depletion and amortization expenseThe increase in total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to increased depreciation, depletion and amortization expense and impairment expense.

Lease Operating Expense

 

Lease operating expense (“LOE”) increased $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The increase in LOE is entirely attributed to workover expense. Per unit operating cost was $0.26 per Mcfe for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 of which $0.04 per Mcfe was attributed to the $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in workover expense incurred. We are maintaining production levels in 2020 through our selective workover projects.

 

Production and Other Taxes

 

Production and other taxes includes severance and ad valorem taxes. Severance taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and ad valorem taxes were $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

 

Severance taxes increased $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared with the same periods in 2019, due to the expiration of the tax exemption on certain wells. The State of Louisiana has enacted an exemption from the existing 12.5% severance tax on oil and from the $0.122 per Mcf (from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019) and $0.125 per Mcf (which began on July 1, 2019) severance tax on natural gas for horizontal wells with production commencing after July 31, 1994. The exemption is applicable until the earlier of (i) 24 months from the date of first sale of production or (ii) payout of the well. All of our recently drilled Haynesville Shale Trend wells in Northwest Louisiana are benefiting from this exemption. 

 

Ad valorem tax increased $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared with the same periods in 2019, due to increased well count.

 

Transportation and Processing

 

Transportation and processing expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019, despite an increase in production volumes. We have increased production from our operated Haynesville Shale Trend wells for which we have contracted more favorable rates than those of our non-operated properties. Our natural gas volumes from operated wells generally carry less transportation cost than those from wells we do not operate. For the same reason, our per unit transportation cost per Mcfe cost decreased in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,compared to the same periods in 2019

DD&A expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $1.4 million, compared to the same period in 2019, due to a decrease in the DD&A rate with similar production volumes. The $1.8 million increase in DD&A expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, was due to increased production volumes offset by a decrease in the DD&A rate. We calculate our DD&A rates semi-annually in connection with the preparation of our reserve report on December 31st and June 30th which is used for that ending period. The June 30, 2020 calculation recognized the decreases in drilling and completion cost that the industry is currently experiencing which has lowered the DD&A rate.

 

Impairment Expense

 

The Full Cost Method requires that we perform a quarterly Ceiling Test. The Ceiling Test performed as of June 30, 2020 indicated that the net book value of our proved oil and gas properties exceeded the estimated discounted future net cash flows resulting in a $14.1 million impairment of oil and natural gas properties. Please refer to Note 1—“Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies—Full Cost Ceiling Test” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details.

 

General and Administrative (“G&A”) Expense

 

The Company recorded $4.5 million and $9.4 million in G&A expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, which included non-cash expenses of $1.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, for share-based compensation. G&A expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 by $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to reduced stock compensation expense of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Additional reductions occurred in accrued employee performance bonus expense resulting from employee retirements.

 

The Company recorded $4.9 million and $10.2 million, respectively, in G&A expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. G&A expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 included non-cash expenses of $1.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively, for share-based compensation.

Interest Expense

 

The Company's interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 reflected interest payable in cash of $1.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, incurred on the 2019 Senior Credit Facility and non-cash interest of $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, incurred primarily on the Company's 13.50% Convertible Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “New 2L Notes”), which included $0.4 million of paid in-kind interest and $0.3 million of amortization of debt discount and issuance costs for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $0.9 million of paid in-kind interest and $0.6 million of amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

 

Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 reflected interest payable in cash of $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, incurred on the 2017 Senior Credit Facility and 2019 Senior Credit Facility and non-cash interest of $2.4 million and $5.6 million, respectively, incurred primarily on the Company's Convertible Second Lien Notes and New 2L Notes, which included $1.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of paid in-kind interest and $1.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of debt discount and debt issuance cost amortization.

 

Interest expense decreased $1.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, having paid off in 2019 the higher interest bearing Convertible Second Lien Notes with borrowings from the 2019 Senior Credit Facility which carry a lower interest rate. 

 

 

Gain (Loss) on Commodity Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges

 

The loss on commodity derivatives not designated as hedges of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was comprised of a $9.0 million mark-to-market loss, representing the change in fair value of our open natural gas and oil derivatives, offset by a $7.3 million net gain on cash settlement of natural gas and oil derivative contracts. The gain on commodity derivatives not designated as hedges of $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was comprised of a $13.3 million net gain on cash settlement of natural gas and oil derivative contracts offset by a mark-to-market loss of $5.8 million, representing the change of the fair value of our open natural gas and oil derivative contracts. Included in net gain on cash settlements of natural gas and oil derivatives contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was a $1.8 million gain for the cash settlement at the end of the quarter of our July 2020 natural gas derivative contracts. Volatility in the commodity futures market is quite high and since we do not apply hedge accounting on our derivatives contracts there can be large swings in our reported gain or losses between periods. Going forward, any increase in natural gas futures prices would result in recording of losses in future periods.

 

Gain on commodity derivatives not designated as hedges for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was comprised of a mark-to-market gain of $10.7 million, representing the change of the fair value of our natural gas derivative contracts from March 31, 2019, and a $2.0 million gain on cash settlements during the period. Gain on commodity derivatives not designated as hedges for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was comprised of a mark-to-market gain of $11.4 million, representing the change of the fair value of our natural gas derivative contracts from December 31, 2018, and a $0.2 million gain on net cash settlements during the period. Natural gas futures prices fell appreciably below our fixed contract prices in the second quarter of 2019 resulting in our derivative asset position.

 

Income Tax Benefit

 

We recorded no income tax expense or benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019. We maintained a valuation allowance at June 30, 2020, which resulted in no net deferred tax asset or liability appearing on our statement of financial position with the exception of the current tax receivable related to alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credits. We recorded this valuation allowance after an evaluation of all available evidence (including commodity prices and our recent history of tax net operating losses in 2018 and prior years) led to a conclusion that based upon the more-likely-than-not standard of the accounting literature our deferred tax assets were unrecoverable. The valuation allowance was $74.2 million as of December 31, 2019, which resulted in a net non-current deferred tax asset of $0.4 million appearing on our statement of financial position at that time. The net $0.4 million deferred tax asset was reclassed to a current receivable as of June 30, 2020 and relates to AMT credits and accrued interest which are expected to be fully refunded in the third quarter of 2020. The valuation allowance has no impact on our net operating loss (“NOL”) position for tax purposes, and if we generate taxable income in future periods, we may be able to use our NOLs to offset taxable income at that time subject to any applicable tax limitations on the NOLs. Considering the Company’s taxable income forecasts, our assessment of the realization of our deferred tax assets has not changed, and we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2020.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (“US GAAP”) financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income and similar tax, DD&A, share-based compensation expense and impairment of oil and natural gas properties (if any). In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, gains/losses on reorganization and mark-to-market gains/losses on commodity derivatives not designated as hedges are also excluded. Other excluded items include adjustments resulting from the accounting for operating leases under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC”) 842, interest income and any extraordinary non-cash gains or losses. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income (loss) as determined by US GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), as defined by US GAAP.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of the non-US GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA to the US GAAP measure of net income (loss), its most directly comparable measure presented in accordance with US GAAP:

Management believes that this non-US GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors because it is monitored and used by our management and widely used by professional research analysts in the valuation and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry.

 

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

Our primary sources of cash during the first six months of 2020 were cash on hand and cash from operating activities. We used cash primarily to fund capital expenditures. We currently plan to fund our operations and capital expenditures for the remainder of 2020 through a combination of cash on hand, cash from operating activities and borrowings under our revolving credit facility, although we may from time to time consider the funding alternatives described below.

 

On May 14, 2019, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (the “2019 Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the Subsidiary, as borrower (in such capacity, the “Borrower”), SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and certain lenders that are party thereto, which provides for revolving loans of up to the borrowing base then in effect (the “2019 Senior Credit Facility”). The 2019 Senior Credit Facility amended, restated and refinanced the obligations under our 2017 Credit Agreement.

 

The 2019 Senior Credit Facility matures (a) May 14, 2024 or (b) December 3, 2021, if the New 2L Notes (as defined below) have not been voluntarily redeemed, repurchased, refinanced or otherwise retired by December 3, 2021, which is the date that is 180 days prior to the May 31, 2022 “Maturity Date” of the New 2L Notes. The 2019 Senior Credit Facility provides for a maximum credit amount of $500 million subject to a borrowing base limitation, which was originally $115 million. The borrowing base was increased to $125 million in August 2019 and was decreased to $120 million in May 2020. The borrowing base is scheduled to be redetermined in March and September of each calendar year, and is subject to additional adjustments from time to time, including for asset sales, elimination or reduction of hedge positions and incurrence of other debt. Additionally, each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may request one unscheduled redetermination of the borrowing base between scheduled redeterminations. The amount of the borrowing base is determined by the lenders at their sole discretion and consistent with their oil and gas lending criteria at the time of the relevant redetermination. The Borrower may also request the issuance of letters of credit under the 2019 Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount up to $10 million, which reduce the amount of available borrowings under the borrowing base in the amount of such issued and outstanding letters of credit.

 

On May 14, 2019, the Company and the Subsidiary entered into a purchase agreement with certain funds and accounts managed by Franklin Advisers, Inc., as investment manager (each such fund or account, together with its successors and assigns, a “New 2L Notes Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the New 2L Notes Purchasers (the “New 2L Notes Offering”) $12.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 13.50% Convertible Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (the “New 2L Notes”). The closing of the New 2L Notes Offering occurred on May 31, 2019. Proceeds from the sale of the New 2L Notes were primarily used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the 2019 Senior Credit Facility. Holders of the New 2L Notes have a second priority lien on all assets of the Company.

 

The New 2L Notes, as set forth in the indenture governing the New 2L Notes were scheduled to mature on May 31, 2021. In May 2020, the maturity date of the New 2L Notes was extended to May 31, 2022. The New 2L Notes bear interest at the rate of 13.50% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year. The Company may elect to pay all or any portion of interest in-kind on the then outstanding principal amount of the New 2L Notes by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding New 2L Notes.

 

We exited the second quarter of 2020 with $1.6 million cash on hand and $95.4 million of outstanding borrowings with $24.6 million of availability under the 2019 Senior Credit Facility borrowing base of $120.0 million in effect as of June 30, 2020. Due to the timing of payment of our capital expenditures, we reflected a working capital deficit of $20.6 million as of June 30, 2020. To the extent we operate with a working capital deficit, we expect such deficit to be offset by liquidity available under our 2019 Senior Credit Facility. Compliance with our covenants under the 2019 Senior Credit Facility and New 2L Notes is primarily dependent upon our capital spending program.

 

Outlook

 

Our capital expenditures for the remainder of 2020 are dependent upon movement of commodity prices. We have the flexibility to move forward with or delay capital projects based on the upward or downward movement of commodity prices. We plan to focus all of our capital on drilling and development of our Haynesville Shale Trend natural gas properties in North Louisiana.

 

We believe the results of the capital investments we made in 2019 and the first half of 2020 will generate sufficient cash flows and coupled with the availability under our 2019 Senior Credit Facility will allow us to execute our operational plans through 2021. That value that is created will allow us to raise capital to continue our capital development in the future.

 

 

We continuously monitor our leverage position and coordinate our capital program with our expected cash flows and repayment of our projected debt. We will continue to evaluate funding alternatives as needed.

 

Alternatives available to us include:

 

 

availability under the 2019 Senior Credit Facility;

 

issuance of debt securities;

  joint ventures in our TMS and/or Haynesville Shale Trend acreage;
  sale of non-core assets; and
  issuance of equity securities if favorable conditions exist.

 

We have supported our cash flows with derivative contracts that covered approximately 52% of our natural gas sales volumes for the first half of 2020 and 59% of our oil volumes for the first half of 2020. We have approximately 52% of our forecasted natural gas production hedged through the first quarter of 2021 at a weighted average price of $2.52 per Mcf. We have approximately 52% of our forecasted oil production hedged through the first quarter of 2021 at a weighted average price of $57.50 per barrel. For the last three quarters of 2021, we have approximately 33% of our forecasted natural gas production hedged at a weighted average price of $2.47 per Mcf. For additional information on our derivative instruments see Note 8—“Commodity Derivative Activities” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

To mitigate the effects of the downturn in commodity prices due to the effects of COVID-19, we have reduced our capital expenditures planned for 2020 thereby conserving capital. We have initiated a company-wide cost reduction program eliminating outside services that are not core to our business. Additionally, we have substantial volumes of our production favorably hedged through the first quarter of 2022 and can further reduce our capital expenditures if necessary.

 

As a result of the steps we have taken to enhance our liquidity, we anticipate our cash on hand, cash from operations and our available borrowing capacity under our 2019 Senior Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our investing, financing, and working capital requirements into 2021.

Operating activities: Production from our wells, the price of oil and natural gas and operating costs represent the main drivers behind our cash flow from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Changes in working capital and net cash settlements related to our derivative contracts also impact cash flows. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $16.2 million including operating cash flows before positive working capital changes of $14.5 million, including cash receipts of $7.3 million in settlement of derivative contracts. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $31.1 million including operating cash flows before positive working capital changes of $29.9 million, including cash receipts of $13.3 million in settlement of derivative contracts. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 was primarily attributable to decreases in oil and natural gas revenues driven by decreased realized prices.

 

Investing activities: Net cash used in investing activities was $18.2 million and $33.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, which reflected cash expended on capital projects. We recorded $10.2 million in capital expenditures during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The difference in capital expenditures and cash expended on capital projects for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was attributed to a net capital accrual decrease of $8.2 million offset by capitalization of $0.2 million of asset retirement and non-cash internal costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we conducted drilling and completion operations on 6 gross (2.2 net) wells bringing 1 gross (0.8 net) wells on production. We recorded $28.6 million in capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The difference in capital expenditures and cash expended on capital projects for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was attributed to a net capital accrual decrease of $5.1 million offset by capitalization of $0.5 million of asset retirement and non-cash internal costs. Though we have reduced our drilling and completion activities, we are still paying for capital costs incurred and recorded in prior periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we conducted drilling and completion operations on 17 gross (5.4 net) wells bringing 6 gross (2.5 net) wells on production with 13 gross (4.7 net) wells remaining in the drilling and completion process at June 30, 2020.

 

Financing activities: Net cash provided by financing activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 reflected $2.5 million of borrowings under our 2019 Senior Credit Facility offset by $0.3 million for the purchase of shares withheld from employee stock award vestings for the payment of taxes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements for any purpose.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe that certain accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes a discussion of our critical accounting policies and there have been no material changes to such policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

 

 

 

Item 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Our primary market risks are attributable to fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. These fluctuations can affect revenues and cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities. Our risk-management policies provide for the use of derivative instruments to manage these risks. The types of derivative instruments we utilize include futures, swaps, options and fixed-price physical-delivery contracts. The volume of commodity derivative instruments we utilize may vary from year to year and is governed by risk-management policies with levels of authority delegated by our Board. Both exchange and over-the-counter traded commodity derivative instruments may be subject to margin deposit requirements, and we may be required from time to time to deposit cash or provide letters of credit with exchange brokers or its counter-parties in order to satisfy these margin requirements.

 

For information regarding our accounting policies and additional information related to our derivative and financial instruments, see Note 1—“Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies”, Note 4—“Debt” and Note 8—“Commodity Derivative Activities” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Commodity Price Risk

 

Our most significant market risk relates to fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices. Management expects the prices of these commodities to remain volatile and unpredictable. As these prices decline or rise significantly, revenues and cash flow will also decline or rise significantly. In addition, a non-cash write-down of our oil and natural gas properties may be required if future commodity prices experience a sustained and significant decline. We have entered into natural gas and oil derivative instruments in order to reduce the price risk associated with production for the rest of 2020 of approximately 70,000 MMBtu per day and 205 barrels per day, respectively, in the first quarter of 2021, approximately 70,000 MMBtu per day and 200 barrels per day, for the remainder of 2021 approximately 50,000 MMBtu per day, and in the first quarter of 2022, approximately 50,000 MMBtu per day. We did not enter into derivative instruments for trading purposes. Utilizing actual derivative contractual volumes, a hypothetical increase of 10% in the underlying commodity prices would have decreased the derivative natural gas net asset position by $5.9 million and decreased the derivative oil asset position by $0.2 million as of June 30, 2020. Likewise, a hypothetical decrease of 10% in the underlying commodity prices would have increased the derivative natural gas net asset position by $7.0 million and increased the derivative oil asset position by $0.2 million as of June 30, 2020. Furthermore, a gain or loss would have been substantially offset by an increase or decrease, respectively, in the actual sales value of production covered by the derivative instruments.

 

Adoption of Comprehensive Financial Reform
 

The adoption of comprehensive financial reform legislation by the United States Congress could have an adverse effect on our ability to use derivative instruments to reduce the effect of commodity price, interest rate and other risks associated with our business. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

 

 

Item 4—Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission and that any material information relating to us is recorded, processed, summarized and reported to our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

At the time of our Original Report on August 11, 2020, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Subsequent to the evaluation made in connection with our Original Report, a material weakness was identified in our internal control over financial reporting. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have re-evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that, as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2020.

 

Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, the Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined, based on the procedures we have performed, that the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Amended Report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 in accordance with US GAAP.

 

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, management, in connection with our independent auditors, identified a material weakness in our controls over the determination of the estimated PV-10 of our reserves. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls to sufficiently review the completeness and accuracy of the future development costs component of the estimated PV-10 of our reserves and, thus, failed to identify the omission of capital expenditure costs from the future costs required to develop certain of our reserves. This material weakness resulted in a $7.3 million error in the amount of impairment expense recorded in relation to our oil and gas properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and resulted in the Company's restating its consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

 

Plan for Remediation of Material Weakness

 

Our management is actively engaged in the planning for, and implementation of, remediation efforts to address the material weakness identified. Specifically, our management is currently evaluating our policies and procedures related to its process of verifying the completeness and accuracy of data inputs into our reserves calculation. As part of our commitment to strengthening our internal control over financial reporting, we are implementing the following remedial actions under the oversight of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors to address deficiencies in the preparation of reserves estimates, including:

 

implementation of a quarterly review by independent reserve engineers to verify the completeness and accuracy of data inputs into the reserves calculation;

implementation of additional procedures to perform enhanced internal detailed reviews of reserves report components, including (but not necessarily limited to) future development costs; and

revision and communication of the accounting controls, policies and procedures relating to identifying and assessing changes that could potentially impact the system of internal control governing the full cost ceiling test calculation.

 

We will continue to monitor the design and effectiveness of these procedures and controls and make any further changes management determines appropriate. We believe the control improvements described above will remediate the material weakness that management has identified. However, this material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate effectively for a sufficient period of time.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Except for the remedial actions described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
