Crescent Point Announces Q2 2023 Results
CALGARY, AB, July 26, 2023 /CNW/ - Crescent Point
Energy Corp. ("Crescent Point" or the "Company") (TSX: CPG) (NYSE: CPG) is pleased to announce its operating and financial
results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Closed the strategic acquisition of Alberta Montney assets, adding
600 premium locations and enhancing excess cash flow profile.
- Maintained 2023 production and capital expenditures guidance despite
recent wildfires, highlighting operational outperformance.
- Generated $278 million of excess cash flow in second quarter,
supporting debt reduction and return of capital to shareholders.
- Returned $167 million, or 60 percent of excess cash flow, to shareholders
during the quarter.
- Repurchased 16.5 million shares year-to-date, including 9.7 million
shares during the quarter.
- Continue to achieve strong results in Alberta Montney, which recently
included four of the top five producing wells in the WCSB.
- Released fifth annual Sustainability Report, highlighting record
safety scores and continued progress on environmental targets.
"Our second quarter and year-to-date results
demonstrate our strategic approach to building our asset portfolio and generating long-term returns for shareholders", said Craig
Bryksa, President and CEO of Crescent Point. "Through our recent Alberta Montney acquisition, we have bolstered our portfolio of
high-return, scalable drilling locations while enhancing our per-share metrics and return of capital profile. This acquisition also provides
us with the opportunity to create additional value for shareholders over time through productivity enhancements, cost efficiencies and
reserves growth."
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
- Adjusted funds flow totaled $552.6 million during second quarter
2023, or $1.01 per share diluted, driven by a strong operating netback of $41.02 per boe.
- Development capital expenditures for the quarter, which included
drilling and development, facilities and seismic costs, totaled $230.1 million.
- Crescent Point's net debt as at June 30, 2023 totaled approximately
$3.0 billion, or less than 1.4 times adjusted funds flow. The Company's net debt includes cash consideration of $1.7 billion paid for
the acquisition of Alberta Montney assets, which closed on May 10, 2023.
- During second quarter, Crescent Point repaid senior note maturities
totaling $445 million. The Company's next senior note maturities, totaling $316 million, do not occur until second quarter 2024.
- Crescent Point currently has over 20 percent of its oil and liquids
production hedged for the second half of 2023, net of royalty interest. The Company has also hedged approximately 15 percent of its natural
gas production for the second half of the year, with hedges extending to the end of 2024. Crescent Point will continue to layer on additional
protection in the context of market conditions.
- Net income for the quarter totaled $212.3 million, or $0.39 per
share diluted.
RETURN OF CAPITAL HIGHLIGHTS
- Crescent Point's total return of capital to shareholders in second
quarter 2023, including the base dividend, was $166.7 million, or 60 percent of its excess cash flow. In the first half of 2023, the Company
returned a total of approximately $270 million.
- Share repurchases continue to account for the largest allocation
within Crescent Point's return of capital framework. During second quarter, the Company repurchased 9.7 million shares for $93.1 million.
Subsequent to the quarter, Crescent Point repurchased an additional 1.7 million shares for $16.0 million for a total of 16.5 million shares
year-to-date.
- The Company's Board of Directors ("Board") has declared
a special cash dividend, based on second quarter 2023 results, of $0.035 per share payable on August 15, 2023, to shareholders of record
as of the close of business on August 8, 2023.
- Subsequent to the quarter, the Board also declared a quarterly
cash base dividend of $0.10 per share payable on October 2, 2023, to shareholders of record on September 15, 2023.
OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
- Average production in second quarter 2023 was 155,031 boe/d (78%
oil and liquids), which included the impact of approximately 7,000 boe/d of downtime in the Kaybob Duvernay related to the recent Alberta
wildfires. Due to the Company's strong operational execution and production outperformance from its Kaybob Duvernay asset in the first
half of the year, Crescent Point was able to maintain its annual average production guidance with its capital expenditures budget remaining
unchanged.
- During late 2022 and in the first half of 2023, Crescent Point
brought on stream 13 wells across three multi-well pads in the Kaybob Duvernay. These wells achieved significant 30-day initial production
("IP30") rates averaging approximately 1,150 boe/d per well (58% condensate, 13% NGLs) and continue to outperform type wells
in the area with recent 90-day initial production ("IP90") rates averaging approximately 1,100 boe/d per well (54% condensate,
14% NGLs). Crescent Point plans to drill 15 wells in the Kaybob Duvernay during the second half of 2023, adding a second rig in fourth
quarter to further accelerate the development of its inventory.
- In second quarter 2023, three multi-well pads with a total of
11 wells were brought on stream in the Alberta Montney, delivering strong IP30 rates averaging approximately 1,050 boe/d per well (69%
light crude oil, 5% NGLs). These wells continue to trend higher post initial cleanup and are currently averaging approximately 1,300 boe/d
(57% light crude oil, 8% NGLs). During the month of May, Crescent Point's Montney results included four of the top five oil and liquids
producing wells in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin ("WCSB").
- The Company's highest producing wells in the Alberta Montney were
in its Gold Creek West area, which came on stream during the month of June, achieving IP30 rates of approximately 1,500 boe/d (76% light
crude oil, 3% NGLs). These wells are currently averaging approximately 1,600 boe/d (72% light crude oil, 4% NGLs), similar to a recent
Company well in the same area which generated an IP30 and IP90 rate of approximately 1,900 boe/d (86% light crude oil, 2% NGLs). Crescent
Point remains on track to drill 15 wells in the play in 2023 based on a one rig program, with the potential to add a second rig over time.
- During the quarter, the Company released its 2023 Annual Sustainability
Report highlighting Crescent Point's strong performance and strategic approach in managing its environmental, social and governance ("ESG")
initiatives. The Company achieved its safest year on record in 2022, demonstrating Crescent Point's strong safety culture and active engagement
with staff and contractors. Over the past five years, the Company has significantly improved its environmental profile, including by reducing
both its Scope 1 emissions intensity and asset retirement liabilities by approximately 50 percent. Crescent Point continues to progress
toward each of its environmental targets which are centered around further reductions in emissions, freshwater use and inactive well inventory
across its land base.
OUTLOOK
Crescent Point continues to execute operationally
and remains on track to meet its 2023 annual average production guidance of 160,000 to 166,000 boe/d with development capital expenditures
expected to be in-line with its budget of $1.15 to $1.25 billion.
In the second half of 2023, Crescent Point's production
is expected to average approximately 179,000 boe/d, reflecting the recent Alberta Montney acquisition and continued momentum in the Kaybob
Duvernay. This strong second half outlook is expected to generate over $1.0 billion of excess cash flow on an annualized basis at US$75/bbl
WTI.
Crescent Point plans to return approximately 60 percent
of its excess cash flow to shareholders, including its base dividend, with the balance directed toward debt reduction. The Company
expects to exit the year with a leverage ratio of approximately 1.0 times adjusted funds flow, at US$75/bbl WTI, and will continue to
evaluate asset dispositions to further reinforce its financial position.
Crescent Point is in the initial stages of its annual
budgeting process and plans to provide a preliminary 2024 outlook along with an updated five-year plan this fall. The Company's capital
allocation decisions remain driven by risk-adjusted returns with a continued focus on disciplined growth and generating excess cash flow.
The Kaybob Duvernay and Alberta Montney assets, which rank in the top quartile in the Company's portfolio, are expected to garner a growing
proportion of capital in future years, alongside continued investment in decline mitigation programs throughout Saskatchewan to further
enhance Crescent Point's excess cash flow profile.
The Company's strategy is centered around creating
sustainable long-term returns for shareholders through a combination of per share growth, return of capital and balance sheet strength.

Total return of capital is a supplementary financial
measure and is comprised of base dividends, special dividends and share repurchases, adjusted for the timing of special dividend payments.
Excess cash flow forecasted for 2023 is a forward-looking
non-GAAP measure and is calculated consistently with the measures disclosed in the Company's MD&A. Refer to the Specified Financial
Measures section of the Company's MD&A for the period ended June 30, 2023.
Management believes the presentation of the specified
financial measures above provide useful information to investors and shareholders as the measures provide increased transparency and the
ability to better analyze performance against prior periods on a comparable basis.
Forward-Looking Statements
Any "financial outlook" or "future
oriented financial information" in this press release, as defined by applicable securities legislation has been approved by management
of Crescent Point. Such financial outlook or future oriented financial information is provided for the purpose of providing information
about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such information may
not be appropriate for other purposes.
Certain statements contained in this press release
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and "forward-looking information" for the purposes of Canadian securities regulation (collectively,
"forward-looking statements"). The Company has tried to identify such forward-looking statements by use of such words as "could",
"should", "can", "anticipate", "expect", "believe", "will", "may",
"intend", "projected", "sustain", "continues", "strategy", "potential", "projects",
"grow", "take advantage", "estimate", "well-positioned" and other similar expressions, but these
words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.
In particular, this press release contains forward-looking
statements pertaining, among other things, to the following: benefits of the strategic acquisition of Alberta Montney assets, including
but not limited to the opportunity to create additional value for shareholders over time through productivity enhancements, cost efficiencies
and reserves growth; strategic approach to building asset portfolio and generating long-term returns for shareholders; extent of hedges
and plans to layer on additional protection in the context of market conditions; plans to drill 15 wells in the Kaybob Duvernay during
the second half of 2023 and adding a second rig in fourth quarter to further accelerate the development of inventory; Crescent Point's
2023 Montney program includes drilling 15 wells based on a one rig program, with the potential to add a second rig over time; Company
continues to progress toward each of its environmental targets which are centered around further reductions in emissions, freshwater use
and inactive well inventory across its land base; 2023 guidance including: expected total annual average production, oil and liquids weighting,
capital expenditures (including development capital expenditures and capitalized administration) and other information for 2023 guidance
including reclamation activities, capital lease payments, annual operations expenses and royalties; and the Company's return of capital
outlook, including base dividend and additional returns of capital (% of excess cash flow); target to return to shareholders the base
dividend plus up to 50% of discretionary excess cash flow; second half of 2023 production expected to average approximately 179,000 boe/d
and is expected to generate over $1.0 billion of excess cash flow on an annualized basis at US$75/bbl WTI; plans to return approximately
60 percent of excess cash flow to shareholders, including base dividend, with the balance directed toward additional debt reduction;
exiting the year with a leverage ratio of approximately 1.0 times adjusted funds flow, at US$75/bbl WTI, and continuing to evaluate asset
dispositions to further reinforce its financial position; plans to provide a preliminary 2024 outlook along with an updated five-year
plan this fall; the Company's capital allocation decisions remain driven by risk-adjusted returns with a continued focus on disciplined
growth and excess cash flow; the Kaybob Duvernay and Alberta Montney assets are expected to garner a growing proportion of capital in
future years, alongside continued investment in decline mitigation programs throughout Saskatchewan to further enhance Crescent Point's
excess cash flow profile; and the Company's strategy is centered around creating sustainable long-term returns for shareholders through
a combination of per share growth, return of capital and balance sheet strength.
Statements relating to "reserves" are also
deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the
reserves described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and that the reserves can be profitably produced in the future. Actual
reserve values may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein. Unless otherwise noted, reserves referenced herein are
given as at December 31, 2022. Also, estimates of reserves and future net revenue for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence
level as estimates and future net revenue for all properties due to the effect of aggregation. All required reserve information for the
Company is contained in its Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2022 and material change reported dated April 6, 2023,
which is accessible at www.sedarplus.com.
With respect to disclosure contained herein regarding
resources other than reserves, there is uncertainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources and there
is significant uncertainty regarding the ultimate recoverability of such resources.
All forward-looking statements are based on Crescent
Point's beliefs and assumptions based on information available at the time the assumption was made. Crescent Point believes that the expectations
reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct
and such forward-looking statements included in this report should not be unduly relied upon. By their nature, such forward-looking statements
are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which could cause actual results or other expectations to differ materially
from those anticipated, expressed or implied by such statements, including those material risks discussed in the Company's Annual Information
Form for the year ended December 31, 2022 under "Risk Factors" and our Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended
December 31, 2022, and for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Information".
The material assumptions are disclosed in the Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended June 30, 2023, under the
headings "Overview", "Commodity Derivatives", "Liquidity and Capital Resources", "Guidance", "Royalties"
and "Operating Expenses". In addition, risk factors include: financial risk of marketing reserves at an acceptable price given
market conditions; volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas, decisions or actions of OPEC and non-OPEC countries in respect
of supplies of oil and gas; delays in business operations or delivery of services due to pipeline restrictions, rail blockades, outbreaks,
blowouts and business closures; the risk of carrying out operations with minimal environmental impact; industry conditions including changes
in laws and regulations including the adoption of new environmental laws and regulations and changes in how they are interpreted and enforced;
uncertainties associated with estimating oil and natural gas reserves; risks and uncertainties related to oil and gas interests and operations
on Indigenous lands; economic risk of finding and producing reserves at a reasonable cost; uncertainties associated with partner plans
and approvals; operational matters related to non-operated properties; increased competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions
of reserves and undeveloped lands; competition for and availability of qualified personnel or management; incorrect assessments of the
value and likelihood of acquisitions and dispositions, and exploration and development programs; unexpected geological, technical, drilling,
construction, processing and transportation problems; the impact of severe weather events and climate change; availability of insurance;
fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates; stock market volatility; general economic, market and business conditions, including
uncertainty in the demand for oil and gas and economic activity in general and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; changes in interest
rates and inflation; uncertainties associated with regulatory approvals; geopolitical conflicts, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine;
uncertainty of government policy changes; the impact of the implementation of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement; uncertainty regarding
the benefits and costs of dispositions; failure to complete acquisitions and dispositions; uncertainties associated with credit facilities
and counterparty credit risk; changes in income tax laws, tax laws, crown royalty rates and incentive programs relating to the oil and
gas industry; the wide-ranging impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including on demand, health and supply chain; and other factors, many
of which are outside the control of the Company. The impact of any one risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement
is not determinable with certainty as these are interdependent and Crescent Point's future course of action depends on management's assessment
of all information available at the relevant time.
Included in this press release are Crescent Point's
2023 guidance (full-year and half-year) in respect of capital expenditures and average annual production and 2023 expectations, which
are based on various assumptions as to production levels, commodity prices and other assumptions and are provided for illustration only
and are based on budgets and forecasts that have not been finalized and are subject to a variety of contingencies including prior years'
results. To the extent such estimates constitute a "financial outlook" or "future oriented financial information"
in this press release, as defined by applicable securities legislation, such information has been approved by management of Crescent Point.
Such financial outlook or future oriented financial information is provided for the purpose of providing information about management's
current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such information may not be appropriate
for other purposes.
Additional information on these and other factors
that could affect Crescent Point's operations or financial results are included in Crescent Point's reports on file with Canadian and
U.S. securities regulatory authorities. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this forward-looking information, which is
given as of the date it is expressed herein or otherwise. Crescent Point undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required to do so pursuant to applicable law. All
subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, attributable to Crescent Point or persons acting on the Company's behalf
are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
Product Type Production Information
The Company's aggregate average production for the
three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 and the references to "natural gas" and "crude oil", reported in
this Press Release consist of the following product types, as defined in NI 51-101 and using a conversion ratio of 6 mcf : 1 bbl where
applicable:

Barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be
misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 mcf : 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method
primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on
the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of oil, utilizing a conversion
on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.
This press release discloses approximately 600 net
drilling locations associated with the Alberta Montney assets, of which 163 are booked as proved plus probable and 437 are not booked
at year-end 2022, including 45 booked wells in Gold Creek West, 80 Gold Creek East, and 38 booked in Karr.
The Company's ability to drill and develop unbooked
locations and the drilling locations on which the Company actually drills wells depends on a number of uncertainties and factors, including,
but not limited to, the availability of capital, equipment and personnel, oil and natural gas prices, costs, inclement weather, seasonal
restrictions, drilling results, additional geological, geophysical and reservoir information that is obtained, production rate recovery,
gathering system and transportation constraints, the net price received for commodities produced, regulatory approvals and regulatory
changes. As a result of these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the potential future drilling locations that the Company
has identified will ever be drilled and, if drilled, that such locations will result in additional crude oil, natural gas or NGLs produced.
As such, the Company's actual drilling activities may differ materially from those presently identified, which could adversely affect
the company's business.
This press release contains metrics commonly used
in the oil and natural gas industry, including "netback". These terms do not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable
to similar measures presented by other companies and, therefore, should not be used to make comparisons. Readers are cautioned as to the
reliability of oil and gas metrics used in this press release. Management uses these oil and gas metrics for its own performance measurements
and to provide investors with measures to compare the Company's performance over time; however, such measures are not reliable indicators
of the Company's future performance, which may not compare to the Company's performance in previous periods, and therefore should not
be unduly relied upon. Netback is used by management to measure operating results on a per boe basis to better analyze performance against
prior periods on a comparable basis.
Initial production is for a limited time frame only
(30 or 90 days) and may not be indicative of future performance.
Product types associated with well IP30 and IP90 rates
are as follows:
The IP30 rate averaging approximately 1,150 boe/d
per well from 13 wells across three multi-well pads in the Kaybob Duvernay consisted of 58% condensate, 13% NGLs and 29% shale gas. The
recent IP90 rates for the same wells that averaged approximately 1,100 boe/d per well consisted of 54% condensate, 14% NGLs and 32% shale
gas.
The IP30 rate of three multi-well pads, in second
quarter 2023, with a total of 11 wells brought on stream in the Alberta Montney play, that averaged approximately 1,050 boe/d per well
consisted of 69% light crude oil, 5% NGLs, and 26% shale gas. The current production from these same multi-well pads averaging approximately
1,300 boe/d consists of 57% light crude oil, 8% NGLs and 35% shale gas.
The IP30 rates of the Company's highest producing
wells in its Gold Creek West area, which achieved approximately 1,500 boe/d, consisted of 76% light crude oil, 3% NGLs and 21% shale gas
and consisted of 72% light crude oil, 4% NGLs and 24% shale gas with respect to current production, averaging approximately 1,600 boe/d.
Recent well results in the same area, which generated an IP30 and IP90 rate of approximately 1,900 boe/d consisted of 86% light crude
oil, 2% NGLs and 12% shale gas.
NI 51-101 includes condensate within the natural gas
liquids (NGLs) product type. The Company has disclosed condensate as combined with crude oil and/or separately from other natural gas
liquids in this press release since the price of condensate as compared to other natural gas liquids is currently significantly higher
and the Company believes that this crude oil and condensate presentation provides a more accurate description of its operations and results.
