Battalion Oil Corporation (NYSE American: BATL, “Battalion” or the
“Company”) today announced results of operations for the third
quarter 2021 and provided an update on 2021 guidance for capital
expenditures.
Highlights
- Reported average daily production
of 17,728 Boepd during third quarter 2021, a 14% increase over
second quarter 2021, due largely to facility upgrades at Monument
Draw and reduced well downtime
- Adjusted EBITDA of $23.0 million, a
63% increase over second quarter 2021
- Strong organic deleveraging,
reducing net debt by >$10 million during the quarter
- Increasing 2021 guidance for total
capital expenditures; anticipate spudding first well of 2022
capital program in December 2021
Management Comments
Richard Little, the Company’s CEO, commented,
“The third quarter of 2021 was an exceptional quarter for Battalion
as we reported quarter-over-quarter production growth despite the
completion of our 2021 capital program in the first half of the
year. Our team put a significant amount of effort into facility
upgrades in the first half of 2021, and it’s that improved flow
assurance and reduced downtime that allowed us to maintain robust
production through the quarter. Those strong operational results
allowed us to take advantage of an improving commodity price
environment as we generated substantial free cash flow and
meaningfully paid down debt.”
Mr. Little continued, “As we enter the last
quarter of 2021, our focus is clear: continue to optimize our
operations as we prepare to accelerate activity in 2022 and beyond.
On the production front, our field team remains diligent in their
efforts to improve flow assurance and manage operating expenses
despite a rising service cost environment. On the development side,
as we work to finalize our 2022 capital program, we are taking
important steps to mitigate cost increases by advance purchasing
materials and protecting our cash flows through increased hedging
activity. Additionally, we recently secured a rig contract as we
aim to accelerate our 2022 capital program by spudding in December.
As such, we have increased our 2021 capex guidance by $5
million.”
Mr. Little continued, “We are proud of our
recent results, and our goal is to build on this momentum as we
move forward.”
Results of Operations
Average daily net production and total operating
revenue during the third quarter 2021 were 17,728 barrels of oil
equivalent per day (“Boepd”) (53% oil) and $80.8 million,
respectively, as compared to production and revenue of 17,076 Boepd
(56% oil) and $39.8 million, respectively, during the third quarter
2020. The increase in revenues in the third quarter of 2021 as
compared to the third quarter 2020 is primarily attributable to an
approximate $24.25 per Boe increase in average realized prices
(excluding the impact of hedges).
Excluding the impact of hedges, Battalion
realized 98% of the average NYMEX oil price during the third
quarter of 2021. Realized hedge losses totaled approximately $22.4
million during the third quarter 2021.
Lease operating and workover expense was $7.95
per Boe in the third quarter of 2021 and $7.00 per Boe in the third
quarter of 2020. Adjusted G&A was $2.11 per Boe in the third
quarter of 2021 compared to $2.09 per Boe in the third quarter of
2020 (see Selected Operating Data table for additional
information).
The Company reported net income to common
stockholders for the third quarter of 2021 of $13.1 million and net
income per basic and diluted share of $0.80 and $0.79,
respectively. After adjusting for selected items, the Company
reported net income to common stockholders for the third quarter of
2021 of $9.7 million, or $0.60 per basic share and $0.59 per
diluted share (see Selected Item Review and Reconciliation for
additional information). Adjusted EBITDA during the quarter ended
September 30, 2021, was $23.0 million as compared to $14.6 million
during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 (see Adjusted EBITDA
Reconciliation table for additional information).
Liquidity and Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2021, Battalion had $155.0
million of borrowings and $2.0 million of outstanding letters of
credit issued under the Senior Revolving Credit Facility resulting
in unused borrowing capacity of $18.0 million based on a borrowing
base of $175.0 million. Total liquidity at September 30, 2021,
inclusive of $1.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, was $19.9
million.
In September 2021, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment
to its Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement which, among other
things, modified the limits on swap agreements. Additionally,
redeterminations of the borrowing base occur semi-annually on May 1
and November 1, with the lenders and the Company each having the
right to one interim unscheduled redetermination between any two
consecutive semi-annual redeterminations. The lenders have agreed
to postpone the fall redetermination until December 2021.
Paycheck Protection Program Loan
Effective August 13, 2021, the principal amount of the Company’s
Paycheck Protection Program Loan was reduced to approximately $0.2
million by the Small Business Administration and the Company
recorded a gain on the extinguishment of the forgiven portion of
the PPP Loan and related accrued interest of $2.1 million. The gain
is presented in “Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt” in the
unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
2021 Guidance
Total capital expenditures guidance has been increased to $45.0
to $55.0 million as Battalion anticipates spudding the first well
of its 2022 capital program in December 2021.
Hedging Update
As of November 8, 2021, Battalion had 7,837 barrels per day
(Bbl/d) of oil hedged for the fourth quarter of 2021 at an average
price of $43.96 per barrel. Battalion also had basis and roll swaps
in place for 7,837 Bbl/d in the fourth quarter of 2021 at ($0.25)
per barrel and ($0.39) per barrel, respectively.
As of November 8, 2021, Battalion had 11,391 million British
thermal units per day (MMBtu/d) of natural gas hedged for the

Company also had WAHA basis differential swaps in place for 11,391
MMBtu/d for the fourth quarter of 2021 at an average swap price of
($0.24) per MMBtu/d.

(2) General and administrative, as adjusted, is a non-GAAP
measure that excludes non-cash stock-based compensation charges
relating to equity awards under our incentive stock plan, as well
as other cash charges associated with non-recurring professional
fees and other. The Company believes that it is useful to
understand the effects that these charges have on general and
administrative expenses and total operating costs and that
exclusion of such charges is useful for comparison to prior
periods.(3) Gathering and other, as adjusted, is a non-GAAP
measure that excludes rig termination and stacking charges and
other costs. The Company believes that it is useful to understand
the effects that these charges have on gathering and other expense
and total operating costs and that exclusion of such charges is
useful for comparative purposes.(4) Represents lease operating
expense, workover and other expense, taxes other than income,
gathering and other expense and general and administrative costs
per Boe, adjusted for items noted in the reconciliation above.

(1) Net income (loss) and earnings per share excluding
selected items and cash flows from operations before changes in
working capital adjusted for selected items are non-GAAP measures
presented based on management's belief that they will enable a user
of the financial information to understand the impact of these
items on reported results. These financial measures are not
measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be
considered as an alternative to net income, earnings per share and
cash flows from operations, as defined by GAAP. These financial
measures may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP
financial measures that other companies may use and may not be
useful in comparing the performance of those companies to
Battalion's performance. (2) For the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2020, net income (loss) and earnings per share

presented based on management's belief that it will enable a user

of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as
an alternative to GAAP measures, including net income (loss). This
financial measure may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP
financial measures that other companies may use and may not be
useful in comparing the performance of those companies to
Battalion's performance.(2) Adjusted EBITDA for the three and

(1) For illustrative purposes, the Company has combined the
Successor and Predecessor results to derive combined results for
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and
the Adjusted LTM EBITDA as of September 30, 2020. The
combination was generated by addition of comparable financial
statement line items. However, because of various adjustments to
the consolidated financial statements in connection with the
application of fresh-start reporting, including asset valuation
adjustments and liability adjustments, the results of operations
for the Successor are not comparable to those of the Predecessor.
The Company believes that subject to consideration of the impact of
fresh-start reporting, combining the results of the Predecessor and
Successor provides meaningful information about Adjusted LTM EBITDA
that assists a reader in understanding the Company’s financial
results for the applicable periods.(2) Adjusted EBITDA is a
non-GAAP measure, which is presented based on management's belief
that it will enable a user of the financial information to
understand the impact of these items on reported results. This
financial measure is not a measure of financial performance under
GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP
measures, including net income (loss). This financial measure may
not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP financial measures
that other companies may use and may not be useful in comparing the
performance of those companies to Battalion's performance.(3)
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30,2020 and
June 30,2020 includes approximately $6.6 million and $16.4 million
of net proceeds, respectively, from hedge monetizations that
occurred during the period.
