Midstates Petroleum Company, Inc. (“Midstates” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MPO) today announced its financial and operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Third Quarter and Other Highlights:

  • Generated Adjusted EBITDA of $80 million, which outpaced operational capital by $25 million for the third quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA outpaced operational capital by $62 million for the first nine months of 2015.
  • Reduced adjusted cash operating expenses to $10.32 per Boe, down 8% from $11.20 per Boe in the third quarter of 2014 and down 12% from $11.75 per Boe in the second quarter of 2015.
  • Achieved total Company production of 32,609 Boe per day in the third quarter compared with 33,799 Boe per day in the third quarter of 2014 and 33,893 Boe per day in the second quarter of 2015. A temporary interruption of production at a Midstates’ well site due to a previously reported incident reduced third quarter production by approximately 650 Boe per day.
  • Exceeded full year 2015 Mississippian Lime well cost reduction target; current standard AFE well cost is $3.1 million.
  • Generating well level returns of greater than 35% in the Mississippian Lime, using October 12, 2015 strip pricing and current standard AFE well cost of $3.1 million.
  • Reported liquidity on September 30, 2015 of $417 million comprised of $167 million in cash and $250 million of availability on its revolving credit facility.
  • Announced reaffirmation of its borrowing base under its revolving credit facility at $252 million.
  • Adjusted Net Income totaled a loss of $6.5 million, or a loss of $0.95 per common share, in the third quarter of 2015.

Jake Brace, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, “In the third quarter, we benefited from continued improvements in drilling efficiency, operating reliably and at a low cost, and shepherding our liquidity. This enabled us to continue generating very strong returns in the current low commodity price environment and provides us with more operational flexibility as we move through the rest of 2015 and into 2016. These differentiated results are driven by our team’s technical expertise and the continuous improvement in our geologic understanding of our premier Miss Lime asset. I am very pleased with the results we achieved given the challenging price environment.”

(Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Cash Operating Expenses are non-GAAP financial measures. Each measure is defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the tables below. On August 3, 2015, the Company completed a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock.

Mississippian Lime Update

Production from the Company’s Mississippian Lime properties averaged 26,358 Boe per day for the third quarter of 2015. During the quarter, the Company experienced a temporary production interruption due to a previously reported incident that reduced third quarter production by approximately 650 Boe per day. After adjusting for the estimated impact of the temporary production interruption, the Company’s third quarter production would have been essentially flat versus the 27,029 Boe per day for the second quarter of 2015. Through October 26, 2015, the Company had 275 wells on production for more than 30 days with an average peak 30-day production rate of 557 Boe per day.

The Company had three rigs drilling in its Mississippian Lime horizontal well program in Woods and Alfalfa Counties, Oklahoma for a majority of the third quarter. Midstates spud a total of 19 wells, of which eight were producing, eight were awaiting completion and three were drilling at September 30, 2015. The Company brought 19 fracture stimulated horizontal wells online during the third quarter.

The Company’s total operated rig count remains at three rigs, all of which are drilling in the Mississippian Lime, and Midstates plans to continue to operate a three rig program in the Mississippian Lime in the near term. Additionally, the Company has surpassed its year end 2015 Mississippian Lime well cost target of $3.3 million and its current standard AFE well cost is $3.1 million. With current standard AFE well cost of $3.1 million, Midstates is generating rates of return in excess of 35% at current strip pricing.

Anadarko Basin Update

The Company does not plan to operate any rigs in the Anadarko Basin area in the near term. Due to the current commodity price environment, Midstates’ focus in the basin in 2015 has been on its high-return capital and expense workover program designed to offset some natural production decline and to reduce lease operating costs. The Company intends to continue a limited workover program through the end of the year.

Midstates did not spud or bring on line any new wells during the third quarter and had no wells awaiting completion on September 30, 2015. Production for the third quarter in the area averaged 6,251 Boe per day.

Financial Discussion

Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes transaction costs and debt restructuring costs, totaled $80.1 million in the third quarter of 2015, compared with $131.7 million in the third quarter of 2014 and $98.7 million in the second quarter of 2015. The Company incurred no transaction costs or debt restructuring costs in the third quarter of 2015; however, the third quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2015 included $1.3 million and $34.6 million of such costs, respectively. Lower average realized prices were the main drivers in the decline in Adjusted EBITDA versus the third quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2015.

Adjusted Net Income, which excludes transaction costs and debt restructuring costs, impairment of oil and gas properties, and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives and the related tax impact, totaled a loss of $6.5 million for the third quarter of 2015, or $0.95 per share. The Company reported a GAAP net loss of $494.3 million (before preferred dividends) for the third quarter of 2015, which includes a full cost ceiling impairment of $486.9 million (before taxes), compared to net income of $74.6 million for the third quarter of 2014 and a net loss of $598.4 million (including a full cost ceiling impairment of $498.4 million) in the second quarter of 2015.

Production and Pricing

Production during the third quarter of 2015 totaled 32,609 Boe per day, compared with 33,799 Boe per day in the third quarter of 2014 and 33,893 Boe per day during the second quarter of 2015. Third quarter 2015 production from the Company’s Mississippian Lime properties contributed roughly 81%, or 26,358 Boe per day and the Anadarko Basin properties contributed roughly 19%, or 6,251 Boe per day. For the total Company, oil volumes comprised 39% of total production, natural gas liquids (NGLs) 21%, and natural gas 40% during the third quarter.

In the third quarter of 2015, Midstates’ average realized price per barrel of oil, before realized commodity derivatives, was $43.27 ($66.94 with realized derivatives) while its average realized price for NGL sales was $13.61 per barrel (there were no NGL hedges in place during the third quarter). Natural gas averaged $2.40 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf), before realized derivatives ($3.32 with realized derivatives). Detailed comparisons of commodity prices by period and region are included in the tables below.

Oil, NGL and natural gas sales revenues, before the impact of derivatives, decreased by $96.4 million, or 56%, to $76.6 million during the third quarter of 2015, as compared to $173.0 million for the third quarter of 2014, and decreased by $17.1 million, or 18%, as compared to $93.7 million in the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in revenues for the third quarter of 2015 versus the third quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2015 was mainly attributable to lower average realized commodity prices. The realized gain on derivatives for the third quarter of 2015 was $34.3 million, compared to a realized loss of $7.3 million for the third quarter of 2014 and a realized gain of $42.2 million for the second quarter of 2015.

Midstates did not add any new hedges on its production during the third quarter of 2015. The Company currently has hedges in place on approximately 1.1 million barrels of oil, or 12,000 barrels of oil per day, in the fourth quarter of 2015 at an average price of approximately $71.56 per barrel. Additionally, Midstates currently has gas hedges in place on approximately 4.6 million British Thermal Units (BTUs), or 50,000 million BTUs per day, in the fourth quarter of 2015 at an average price of approximately $4.13 per million BTUs. A detailed summary of the Company’s hedging position as of November 3, 2015 is included in the tables below.

Costs and Expenses

Adjusted Cash Operating Expenses for the third quarter of 2015 were $10.32 per Boe, compared with $11.20 per Boe in the third quarter of 2014 and $11.75 per Boe in the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in per Boe cash costs in the third quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2015 was attributable to lower lease operating and workover expense and lower general and administrative expenses.

Lease operating and workover expenses (LOE) totaled $18.8 million, or $6.27 per Boe, in the third quarter of 2015, compared with $17.0 million, or $5.46 per Boe, in the third quarter of 2014 and $21.8 million, or $7.06 per Boe, in the second quarter of 2015. Third quarter 2015 LOE and workover expenses decreased on a per Boe basis as compared to second quarter of 2015 primarily due to the divestiture of the Company’s producing assets in Louisiana, where operating costs were relatively higher, and lower LOE costs in the Anadarko Basin as a result of the Company’s workover program during 2015.

Severance and other taxes for the third quarter of 2015 were $2.7 million (3.5% of oil, NGL and natural gas sales revenue) as compared to $5.8 million (3.3% of oil, NGL and natural gas sales revenue) in the same period in 2014 and $2.5 million (2.7% of oil, NGL and natural gas sales revenue) in the second quarter of 2015.

General and administrative expenses totaled $6.7 million, or $2.23 per Boe, compared with $9.9 million, or $3.18 per Boe, in the third quarter of 2014, and $11.5 million, or $3.71 per Boe, in the second quarter of 2015. Third quarter 2015, third quarter 2014 and second quarter 2015 general and administrative expenses included non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.9 million ($0.31 per Boe), $1.7 million ($0.54 per Boe) and $2.1 million ($0.68 per Boe), respectively. General and administrative expenses in the third quarter and second quarter of 2015 included approximately $0.3 million ($0.10 per Boe) and $1.3 million ($0.42 per Boe), respectively, related to employee and other costs associated with the previously announced closing of the Houston office and the relocation of the Company’s corporate headquarters to Tulsa. General and administrative expense for the third quarter of 2015 was also reduced by the capitalization of project related overhead costs, a portion of which will be recovered from Midstates’ joint interest owners.

Interest expense totaled $40.6 million (net of amounts capitalized) for the third quarter of 2015 as compared to $34.3 million in the third quarter of 2014 and $44.9 million in the second quarter of 2015. The Company capitalized $0.9 million in interest to unproved properties during the third quarter of 2015 as compared to $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2014 and $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2015.

During the third quarter, the Company did not record an income tax benefit or loss, and had an effective tax rate of 0%.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

On September 30, 2015, all 325,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock mandatorily converted into 3,738,424 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $110.00 per share.

As a result of its lenders’ semiannual review, the borrowing base under its revolving credit facility was reaffirmed at $252 million.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, property impairments, unrealized commodity derivative gains and losses and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income or cash flows as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.

The following tables present a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measures of net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities, respectively.
