DENBURY REPORTS 2017 FOURTH QUARTER AND ANNUAL RESULTS

PLANO, TXFebruary 22, 2018 – Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE: DNR) (“Denbury” or the “Company”) today announced net income of $127 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, on revenues of $321 million for fourth quarter 2017. Adjusted net income(1) (a non-GAAP measure) was $48 million, or $0.12(1)(2) per diluted share, with the difference from GAAP net income primarily due to the exclusion of $78 million ($48 million after tax) of expense from noncash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives(1) (a non-GAAP measure) and a one-time deferred tax benefit of $132 million from the reduction of the federal income tax rate, with the GAAP and non-GAAP measures reconciled on tables beginning on page 8.

2017 FOURTH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

Revenue of $321 million, the highest quarterly revenue since second quarter 2015
Company-wide positive oil differential of $1.70/Bbl, the highest since 2013
General and administrative (“G&A”) expense of $21 million, the lowest in nine years
Adjusted net income(1) (a non-GAAP measure) of $48 million, more than triple third quarter 2017
Cash flow from operations of $124 million, up 89% from third quarter 2017

MANAGEMENT COMMENT

Chris Kendall, Denbury’s CEO, commented, “I am extremely pleased with our fourth quarter results. We nearly doubled cash flow from the third quarter, reflecting the combined impact of cost reductions and Denbury’s extraordinary crude oil exposure, clearly demonstrating our upside earnings power. We streamlined our organization to execute more efficiently and focus on key areas of value creation. This is reflected in our recent successful Mission Canyon well, an opportunity that is an example of the short-cycle, high-value organic growth potential that exists in our prolific oil fields. Our balance sheet remains a top priority, and with an improving oil price environment, improving operations, and lower debt from recent debt exchanges, I believe we are on a path to significantly improving leverage metrics. We are entering 2018 as a much stronger company, and I am confident we will build on our 2017 accomplishments, successfully execute our 2018 plan, and continue to strengthen the entire business.”

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

Denbury’s average realized oil price, excluding derivative contracts, was $57.17 per Bbl in fourth quarter 2017, compared to $47.78 per Bbl in third quarter 2017 (“prior quarter”), and $48.03 per Bbl in fourth quarter 2016. Including derivative settlements, Denbury’s average realized oil price was $55.49 per Bbl in fourth quarter 2017, compared to $47.80 per Bbl in the prior quarter, and $41.93 per Bbl in the prior-year fourth quarter.

The Company’s average realized oil price in fourth quarter 2017 was $1.70 per Bbl above NYMEX prices, compared to $0.34 per Bbl below NYMEX prices in the prior quarter and $1.22 per Bbl below NYMEX prices in fourth quarter 2016, with the increases primarily attributable to improvement in LLS index prices relative to NYMEX, as well as continued improvement in Rocky Mountain region differentials. During fourth quarter 2017, the Company sold approximately 65% of its crude oil at prices based on, or partially tied to, the LLS index price, and the balance at prices based on various other indexes tied to NYMEX prices, primarily in the Rocky Mountain region.

The Company’s total lease operating expenses in fourth quarter 2017 were $105 million, a decrease of $13 million, or 11%, on an absolute-dollar basis when compared to third quarter 2017, and a decrease of $1 million compared to the prior-year fourth quarter. The sequential quarter decline was spread across various categories, with the largest individual item being lower CO2 costs due to a $7 million reduction recorded in fourth quarter 2017 for pricing adjustments of certain industrial-sourced CO2, and the prior quarter including costs related to Hurricane Harvey. During fourth quarter 2017, the Company’s CO2 used in its operated fields averaged 614 million cubic feet per day, an increase of 26% when compared to third quarter 2017, primarily due to reduced CO2 injection last quarter related to Hurricane Harvey.



3


Taxes other than income, which include ad valorem, production and franchise taxes, increased $4 million and $6 million from third quarter 2017 and prior-year fourth quarter, respectively, due to the increase in oil and natural gas revenues in fourth quarter 2017.

General and administrative expenses were $21 million in fourth quarter 2017, a decrease of $7 million compared to third quarter 2017 and a decrease of $8 million compared to the prior-year fourth quarter. On an annual basis, general and administrative expenses decreased $8 million, or 7%, from 2016 to 2017, with the decreases largely due to lower employee-related costs generally due to the February 2016 and August 2017 workforce reductions and other cost savings initiatives.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, totaled $23 million in fourth quarter 2017, a slight decrease of $1 million from third quarter 2017, and a slight increase of $1 million from the prior-year fourth quarter. Interest expense excludes approximately $15 million and $13 million in the fourth quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively, of interest recorded as a reduction of debt for financial reporting purposes instead of interest expense, due to the accounting associated with debt exchange transactions completed in 2016 and 2017. A schedule detailing the components of interest expense is included on page 15 of this press release.

Depletion, depreciation, and amortization (“DD&A”) decreased to $53 million during fourth quarter 2017, compared to $647 million in the prior-year fourth quarter. The difference was primarily due to the prior-year period including an accelerated depreciation charge of $591 million for the Riley Ridge gas processing facility. Denbury’s DD&A rate, excluding the prior-year accelerated depreciation charge, was $9.47 per BOE in fourth quarter 2017, compared to $10.05 per BOE in the prior-year fourth quarter.

Denbury’s effective tax rates for the fourth quarter and full-year 2017 differed from the Company’s statutory rate of 38%, primarily due to a one-time deferred tax benefit of $132 million reflecting the re-measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from the reduction of the federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% as enacted by the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the “Act”) signed by the President on December 22, 2017. Our effective tax rate for 2017 was impacted to a lesser degree by tax valuation allowances recorded during the period, which reduced the net deferred tax benefit recognized. Beginning in 2018, the Company currently expects its estimated statutory rate to decrease as a result of the Act, from 38% to 25%.

2017 FOURTH QUARTER AND ANNUAL PRODUCTION

As previously released, Denbury’s production averaged 61,144 BOE/d during fourth quarter 2017, in line with management’s expectations, and was 97% oil, with CO2 tertiary properties accounting for 65% of overall production. On a sequential-quarter basis, production in fourth quarter 2017 increased by 816 BOE/d, or 1%, from prior quarter.



4


Excluding sold properties, Denbury’s continuing production for full-year 2017 averaged 60,298 BOE/d, down 4% from the prior-year’s level. Approximately 500 BOE/d of the year-over-year decline was attributable to downtime associated with Hurricane Harvey, with the remainder principally from non-tertiary natural declines. Further production information is provided on page 13 of this press release.

DENBURY RESOURCES INC.
SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Reconciliation of net income (loss) (GAAP measure) to adjusted net income (loss) (non-GAAP measure)

Adjusted net income (loss) is a non-GAAP measure provided as a supplement to present an alternative net income (loss) measure which excludes expense and income items (and their related tax effects) not directly related to the Company’s ongoing operations. Management believes that adjusted net income (loss) may be helpful to investors by eliminating the impact of noncash and/or special or unusual items not indicative of the Company’s performance from period to period, and is widely used by the investment community, while also being used by management, in evaluating the comparability of the Company’s ongoing operational results and trends. Adjusted net income (loss) should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) or any other measure reported in accordance with GAAP, but rather to provide additional information useful in evaluating the Company’s operational trends and performance.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Reconciliation of cash flows from operations (GAAP measure) to adjusted cash flows from operations (non-GAAP measure) to adjusted cash flows from operation less interest treated as debt reduction (non-GAAP measure)

Adjusted cash flow from operations is a non-GAAP measure that represents cash flows provided by operations before changes in assets and liabilities, as summarized from the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Adjusted cash flow from operations measures the cash flows earned or incurred from operating activities without regard to the collection or payment of associated receivables or payables. Adjusted cash flow from operations less interest treated as debt reduction is an additional non-GAAP measure that removes interest associated with the Company’s senior secured second lien notes and convertible notes not reflected as interest expense for financial reporting purposes. Management believes that it is important to consider these additional measures, along with cash flows from operations, as it believes the non-GAAP measures can often be a better way to discuss changes in operating trends in its business caused by changes in production, prices, operating costs and related factors, without regard to whether the earned or incurred item was collected or paid during that period.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Reconciliation of commodity derivatives income (expense) (GAAP measure) to noncash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives (non-GAAP measure)

Noncash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives is a non-GAAP measure and is different from “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in that the noncash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives represents only the net change between periods of the fair market values of open commodity derivative positions, and excludes the impact of settlements on commodity derivatives during the period. Management believes that noncash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives is a useful supplemental disclosure to “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” because the GAAP measure also includes settlements on commodity derivatives during the period; the non-GAAP measure is widely used within the industry and by securities analysts, banks and credit rating agencies in calculating EBITDA and in adjusting net income to present those measures on a comparative basis across companies, as well as to assess compliance with certain debt covenants.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Reconciliation of net income (loss) (GAAP measure) to adjusted EBITDAX (non-GAAP measure)

Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in the Company’s senior secured bank credit facility which excludes certain items that are included in net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Items excluded include interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairments, and items that the Company believes affect the comparability of operating results such as items whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated or are non-recurring. Management believes Adjusted EBITDAX may be helpful to investors in order to assess our operating performance as compared to that of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical costs basis. It is also used to assess our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) or any other measure reported in accordance with GAAP. Our Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDAX in the same manner.  The following table presents a reconciliation of our net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDAX.
