Unit Corporation (NYSE: UNT) today reported its financial and
operational results for the fourth quarter and year-end 2019.
Operational highlights for 2019 include:
Oil and natural gas segment:
- Segment oil production increased 12% year-over-year.
- Initiated development drilling program of Red Fork horizontal
oil play with outstanding results.
- Cost cuts identified during the fourth quarter of 2019 expected
to reduce lease operating expense by 10% during 2020.
- Completed sale of non-core eastern Oklahoma gas properties with
proceeds of $18 million.
Contract drilling segment:
- Utilization cycle during 2019:
- Started the year with 32 drilling rigs operating (including
four rigs running for Unit Petroleum).
- Placed two new BOSS drilling rigs into service in the first
quarter and one new BOSS drilling rig in the fourth quarter.
- Rig utilization averaged between 30-32 drilling rigs operating
through the middle of May 2019, as many operators front-end loaded
their drilling budgets in the first half of 2019 (including an
average of five rigs running for Unit Petroleum).
- Utilization decreased to 18 drilling rigs at the end of August
and remained at that level into early December finishing the year
at 20 drilling rigs operating (with no rigs operating for Unit
Petroleum).
- All 14 BOSS drilling rigs were operating during the year.
- Average drilling rig dayrates increased 7% year-over-year,
primarily due to a higher BOSS rig concentration in rigs
operating.
Mid-stream segment:
- Completed the acquisition of Central Oklahoma assets consisting
of approximately 600 miles of pipeline and related compressor
stations in December 2019.
- During 2019, per day gas gathered and gas processed volumes
increased 11% and 4%, respectively, compared to 2018 per day
volumes.
FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END 2019 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Net loss attributable to Unit for the quarter was $335.0
million, or $6.33 per diluted share, compared to net loss
attributable to Unit of $77.8 million, or $1.49 per diluted share,
for the fourth quarter of 2018. The quarter's results included the
following pre-tax non-cash write-downs: $390.0 million ceiling test
write-down in the carrying value of Unit’s oil and natural gas
properties and $0.8 million relating to the write-off of two small
gas gathering systems. (For the fourth quarter of 2018, Unit
recorded a pre-tax non-cash write-down of $147.9 million associated
with the removal of 41 drilling rigs from its drilling fleet along
with some other equipment.) Adjusted net loss attributable to Unit
(which excludes the effect of non-cash commodity derivatives and
the effects of the write-downs) for the quarter was $35.5 million,
or $0.67 per diluted share, as compared to adjusted net income
attributable to Unit of $13.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share,
for the same quarter for 2018 (see non-GAAP financial measures
below). Total revenues for the quarter were $164.4 million (51% oil
and natural gas, 22% contract drilling, and 27% mid-stream),
compared to $214.8 million (49% oil and natural gas, 25% contract
drilling, and 26% mid-stream) for the fourth quarter of 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Unit was $65.4 million, or $1.23
per diluted share (see non-GAAP financial measures below).
For 2019, net loss attributable to Unit was $553.9 million, or
$10.48 per diluted share, compared to net loss attributable to Unit
of $45.3 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, for 2018 (which
included the non-cash write-down for drilling rigs discussed
above). The 2019 results included the following pre-tax non-cash
write-downs: $559.4 million ceiling test write-down in the carrying
value of Unit’s oil and natural gas properties and certain
gathering system assets; $62.8 million in goodwill associated with
the contract drilling segment; and $3.0 million in the carrying
value of line-fill associated with the mid-stream segment and the
write-off of two small gas gathering systems. Excluding the effect
of the 2019 write-downs and the effect of non-cash commodity
derivatives, adjusted net loss attributable to Unit was $59.6
million, or $1.13 per diluted share, as compared to adjusted net
income attributable to Unit of $51.9 million, or $1.00 per diluted
share, for 2018 (see non-GAAP financial measures below). Total
revenues for the year were $674.6 million (48% oil and natural gas,
25% contract drilling, and 27% mid-stream), compared to $843.3
million (50% oil and natural gas, 23% contract drilling, and 27%
mid-stream) for 2018. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Unit for 2019
was $260.5 million, or $4.93 per diluted share (see non-GAAP
financial measures below).
OIL AND NATURAL GAS SEGMENT INFORMATION
For the quarter, total equivalent production was 4.2 million
barrels of oil equivalent (MMBoe), a 5% decrease from the third
quarter. Oil and NGLs production represented 48% of total
equivalent production. Oil production was 9,423 barrels per day, a
decrease of 6% from the third quarter. NGLs production was 12,132
barrels per day, a 10% decrease from the third quarter. Natural gas
production was 141.8 million cubic feet (MMcf) per day, a 2%
decrease from the third quarter. Total equivalent production for
2019 was 16.8 MMBoe, a 1% decrease from 2018.
Unit’s average realized per barrel equivalent price for the
quarter was $20.41, an increase of 9% over the third quarter.
Unit’s average natural gas price was $1.97 per thousand cubic feet
(Mcf), an increase of 8% over the third quarter. Unit’s average oil
price was $57.33 per barrel, an increase of 1% over the third
quarter. Unit’s average NGLs price was $13.11 per barrel, an
increase of 54% over the third quarter. All prices in this
paragraph include the effects of derivative contracts.
In the Southern Oklahoma Hoxbar Oil Trend (SOHOT) and the Red
Fork plays in western Oklahoma, 14 horizontal wells were completed
in 2019. This mix of Marchand and Red Fork wells enabled the
company to increase its oil production percentage. Annual
production from western Oklahoma averaged 95.7 MMcfe per day (35%
oil, 22% NGLs, and 43% natural gas).
In the Wilcox play in Southeast Texas, seven vertical natural
gas and condensate wells were completed in 2019. Annual production
from the Wilcox play averaged 76 MMcfe per day (7% oil, 21% NGLs,
and 72% natural gas). In addition to the new wells, the company
continued its recompletion program.
In the Granite Wash play, two extended length lateral horizontal
wells were completed in 2019. Annual production from the Texas
panhandle averaged 91.9 MMcfe per day (9% oil, 37% NGLs, and 55%
natural gas).
Larry Pinkston, Chief Executive Officer and President, said:
“For this segment, our focus for 2019 was to increase the
proportion of oil in our production mix, specifically with the
results from the new Redfork and Marchand wells, which met or
exceeded our expectations. We were able to increase our oil
production by 12% year-over-year. We suspended our operated
drilling rig program at the beginning of the third quarter, and we
are not operating any drilling rigs at this time. We have continued
our participation in non-operated wells in the Mid-Continent
region, participating in 61 such wells with an average working
interest of approximately 4%. In December of 2019, we sold our
Panola Field in eastern Oklahoma for $18 million."

YEAR-END 2019 ESTIMATED PROVED RESERVES
The discount rate (PV-10) value of Unit’s estimated year-end
2019 proved reserves decreased 58% from 2018 to $462.0 million.
Estimated year-end 2019 proved oil and natural gas reserves were
71.9 MMBoe, or 431.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalents
(Bcfe), as compared with 159.7 MMBoe, or 958.1 Bcfe, at year-end
2018, a 55% decrease. Estimated reserves were 17% oil, 32% NGLs,
and 51% natural gas.

During 2019, Unit converted 39 proved undeveloped well locations
into proved developed wells at a cost of approximately $77.2
million. As of December 31, 2019, Unit did not have any proved
undeveloped reserves.
The present value of the estimated future net cash flows from
2019 estimated proved reserves (before income taxes and using a
PV-10), is approximately $462.0 million. The present value was
determined using the required SEC's pricing methodology. The
benchmark price used for all future reserves was $55.69 per barrel
of oil, $23.19 per barrel of NGLs, and $2.58 per Mcf of natural gas
(then adjusted for price differentials). Ryder Scott Company, L.P.
independently audited Unit’s 2019 year-end proved reserves. Their
audit covered properties accounting for 86% of the discounted
future net cash flow (PV-10). See below for the reconciliation of
PV-10 to the Standardized Measure of discounted future net cash
flows as defined by GAAP.
CONTRACT DRILLING SEGMENT INFORMATION
Unit’s average number of drilling rigs working during the
quarter was 18.3, a decrease of 10% from the third quarter. Per day
drilling rig rates averaged $19,311, a slight increase over the
third quarter. For 2019, per day drilling rig rates averaged
$18,762, a 7% increase over 2018, primarily due to a higher BOSS
rig concentration in rigs operating. Average per day operating
margin for the quarter was $6,001 (with no elimination of
intercompany drilling rig profit). This compares to third quarter
average operating margin of $4,635 (with no elimination of
intercompany drilling rig profit), an increase of 30%, or $1,366
(in each case regarding eliminating intercompany drilling rig
profit - see non-GAAP financial measures below.
Pinkston said: “During 2019, we placed three new BOSS drilling
rigs into service, bringing the total number of BOSS rigs in our
fleet to 14. Our BOSS rigs continue to maintain 100% utilization.
Term contracts (contracts with original terms ranging from six
months to three years in length) are in place for 14 of our
drilling rigs at the end of the quarter. Of the 14 contracts, three
are up for renewal in the first quarter, three in the second
quarter, one in the third quarter, three in the fourth quarter,
three in 2021, and one in 2022.”

Pinkston said: “In an effort to accelerate growth of this
segment through the acquisition and consolidation of synergistic
assets, we completed an acquisition in December of approximately
600 miles of gathering pipeline and compression in central
Oklahoma. The acquired assets will complement this segment’s
existing infrastructure and allow for greater operational
flexibility and efficiency between gathering and processing
facilities in the area. Our goal is to continue to search for these
types of opportunities that will allow us to grow this
segment.”
2020 CAPITAL BUDGET
For 2020, Unit's oil and natural gas segment does not currently
have any plans to drill wells at this time. The contract drilling
segment has no approved capital plan for 2020. Any capital
expenditures incurred would be within segment anticipated cash
flows. The mid-stream segment has a capital expenditures plan of
approximately $28 million, a decrease of 57% from 2019.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Unit ended the quarter with long-term debt of $663.2 million,
consisting of $646.7 million in senior subordinated notes (net of
unamortized discount and debt issuance costs) and $16.5 million in
borrowings under the Superior credit facility. Unit's current
portion of long-term debt outstanding is $108.2 million under the
Unit credit agreement. The Unit Corporation credit agreement
borrowing base was re-determined effective as of January 17, 2020

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Unit Corporation reports its financial results under generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The company believes
certain Non-GAAP performance measures provide users of its
financial information and its management additional meaningful
information to evaluate the performance of the company.
This press release includes net income (loss) and earnings
(loss) per share excluding impairment adjustments, its exploration
and production segment’s reconciliation of PV-10 to Standard
Measure, its reconciliation of segment operating profit, its
drilling segment’s average daily operating margin before
elimination of intercompany drilling rig profit and bad debt
expense, its cash flow from operations before changes in operating
assets and liabilities, and its reconciliation of net income (loss)
to adjusted EBITDA.
Below are reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP
financial measures for the periods below. Non-GAAP financial
measures should not be considered by themselves or a substitute for
results reported under GAAP. This non-GAAP information should be
considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the
financial statements prepared under GAAP. The non-GAAP financial
information presented may be determined or calculated differently
by other companies and may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures.

________________
The company has included the net income and diluted earnings per
share, including only the cash-settled commodity derivatives
because:
- It uses the adjusted net income to evaluate the operational
performance of the company.
- The adjusted net income is more comparable to earnings
estimates provided by securities analysts.
Unaudited Reconciliation of PV-10 to
Standard Measure December 31, 2019
PV-10 is the estimated future net cash flows from proved
reserves discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent before giving
effect to income taxes. Standardized Measure is the after-tax
estimated future cash flows from proved reserves discounted at an
annual rate of 10 percent, determined under GAAP. The company uses
PV-10 as one measure of the value of its proved reserves and to
compare relative values of proved reserves among exploration and
production companies without regard to income taxes. The company
believes that securities analysts and rating agencies use PV-10 in
similar ways. The company’s management believes PV-10 is a useful
measure for comparison of proved reserve values among companies
because, unlike Standardized Measure, it excludes future income
taxes that often depend principally on the characteristics of the
owner of the reserves rather than on the nature, location, and
quality of the reserves themselves. Below is a reconciliation of
PV-10 to Standardized Measure:

the segments and company using criteria used by management.
