Commodity Derivatives Update
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, Laredo expects to
report a loss on derivatives of approximately $27.4 million,
including approximately $12.2 million net cash received on
settlements of derivatives, net of premiums paid. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2017, Laredo expects to report a gain on
derivatives of approximately $38.1 million, including approximately
$25.5 million net cash received on settlements of derivatives, net
of premiums paid. Although management does not expect these numbers
to change, they are preliminary and unaudited.
Laredo maintains a disciplined hedging program to reduce the
variability in its anticipated cash flow due to fluctuations in
commodity prices. At September 30, 2017, the Company had hedges in
place for the remainder of 2017 for 1,727,300 barrels of oil at a
weighted-average floor price of $55.82 per barrel and for 6,803,200
million British thermal units ("MMBtu") of natural gas at a
weighted-average floor price of $2.75 per MMBtu. All natural gas
hedges the Company has in place are priced at the WAHA hub.
Additionally, Laredo had hedged 111,000 barrels of ethane at $11.24
per barrel and 93,750 barrels of propane at $22.26 per barrel.
At September 30, 2017, for 2018, the Company had hedged
9,515,375 barrels of oil at a weighted-average floor price of
$47.42 per barrel, representing approximately 95% of anticipated
oil production for 2018. All of the Company's 2018 oil hedges
enable Laredo to benefit from an increase in the price of oil from
current levels with 4,088,000 barrels structured as collars with a
weighted-average ceiling price of $60.00 per barrel and 5,427,375
barrels hedged with puts and thus do not have a ceiling. The
Company has also hedged 23,805,500 MMBtu of natural gas for 2018 at
a weighted-average floor price of $2.50 per MMBtu, priced at the
WAHA hub. Additionally, Laredo has basis swaps for 2018 for
3,650,000 barrels of oil to hedge the Midland-West Texas
Intermediate ("WTI") basis differential at WTI less $0.56 per
barrel.
At September 30, 2017, for 2019, the Company had hedged 730,000
barrels of oil with puts having a weighted-average floor price of
$50.00 per barrel.
Laredo records all derivatives on its balance sheet as either
assets or liabilities measured at their estimated fair value.
Laredo has not designated any derivatives as hedges for accounting
purposes and Laredo does not enter into such instruments for
speculative trading purposes. Gain (loss) on derivatives is
reported under "Non-operating income (expense)" in Laredo's
consolidated statement of operations.

weighted-average shares outstanding were approximately 239.306
million and 244.887 million, respectively. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2017, basic and diluted weighted-average shares
outstanding were approximately 239.017 million and 244.693 million,
