Amplify Energy Corp. (NYSE: AMPY) (“Amplify,” the “Company,” “us,”
or “our”) announced today its operating and financial results for
the second quarter of 2024.
Key Highlights
-
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company:
-
Achieved average total production of 20.3 MBoepd
-
Generated net cash provided by operating activities of $15.4
million and net income of $7.1 million
-
Delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $30.7 million
-
Generated $9.2 million of free cash flow
-
Drilled and completed the A50 development well at Beta. The A50
well, which came on-line in early June, achieved a peak IP30 oil
rate of approximately 730 Bopd (gross) and exceeded Company
projections. Amplify expects the well to pay out in approximately 4
months.
-
The Company is updating its 2024 guidance primarily as the result
of better than expected second quarter results and the Company’s
election to participate in non-operated development wells in East
Texas and the Eagle Ford
-
Amplify received multiple bids for both an outright sale and
partial monetization of its Bairoil asset in Wyoming. The Company,
working with its advisors, continues to evaluate these proposals
and will provide updates as they become available
-
As of June 30, 2024, net debt was $117.5 million, consisting of
$118.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility and
$0.5 million of cash and cash equivalents
-
Net Debt to Last Twelve Months (“LTM”) Adjusted EBITDA of
1.2x1
(1) Net debt as of June 30,
2024, and LTM Adjusted EBITDA as of the second quarter of
2024Martyn Willsher, Amplify’s President and Chief Executive
Officer, commented, “Amplify again delivered strong operating and
financial results for the second quarter, while also continuing the
tremendous progress on our key strategic initiatives. At Beta, we
successfully drilled and completed the A50 well on time and under
budget. The 30-day peak IP rate of 730 barrels of oil per day
exceeded our expectations, and based on early results and current
commodity prices, we anticipate the A50 will pay out in
approximately four months. The performance of the A50 is a
testament to the team’s exceptional planning and execution, which
we intend to capitalize on for our future development wells. We are
scheduled to drill two wells in the third quarter on the Eureka
platform before returning to the Ellen platform later this year. We
believe a successful development program at Beta has the potential
to materially increase cash flows and improve the long-term value
of the asset.”
Mr. Willsher further stated, “We continue to
evaluate proposals and options regarding the monetization of our
Wyoming assets. While we are encouraged by the interest received to
date, the Company is committed to pursuing the path it believes
will maximize shareholder value.”
Mr. Willsher concluded, “As I have indicated
previously, I am confident that the initiatives Amplify is actively
pursuing this year can be transformative for the Company. The
progress we have made through the first half of 2024 has reinforced
our confidence in our ability to execute on these initiatives and
drive increased shareholder value.”
Key Financial Results
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company
reported net income of approximately $7.1 million compared to a net
loss of $9.4 million in the prior quarter. The increase was
primarily attributable to lower non-cash unrealized losses on
commodity derivatives during the period compared to the prior
period.
Amplify generated $30.7 million of Adjusted
EBITDA for the second quarter, an increase of approximately $5.8
million from $24.9 million in the prior quarter. Second quarter
Adjusted EBITDA benefited from a one-time $7.0 million accounting
adjustment related to the release of suspense from prior quarters.
Further detail on the adjustment can be found at the end of this
release and in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Free cash flow was $9.2 million for the second
quarter, an increase of $6.9 million versus the prior quarter.
Amplify has now generated positive free cash flow in 16 of the last
17 fiscal quarters.

Revolving Credit Facility
As of June 30, 2024, Amplify had net debt of
$117.5 million, consisting of $118.0 million outstanding under its
revolving credit facility and $0.5 million of cash and cash
equivalents. Net debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA was 1.2x (net debt as
of June 30, 2024 and 2Q24 LTM Adjusted EBITDA). Second quarter net
debt increased slightly from the prior quarter due to expected
changes in working capital and increased activity (primarily at
Beta). The next regularly scheduled borrowing base redetermination
is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Corporate Production and
Pricing
During the second quarter of 2024, average daily
production was approximately 20.3 Mboepd, which was in-line with
the previous quarter. The Company benefitted from a one-time
prior-period accounting adjustment that added approximately 1.2
Mboepd, which was offset by multiple flooding events in East Texas
that limited access to wells and resulted in prolonged shut-ins.
The Company’s product mix for the quarter was 41% crude oil, 19%
NGLs, and 40% natural gas, excluding the impact from the one-time
accounting adjustment.

Costs and Expenses
Lease operating expenses in the second quarter
of 2024 were approximately $36.3 million, or $19.70 per Boe, a $2.0
million decrease compared to the prior quarter. This decrease was
primarily due to increased costs related to scheduled maintenance
and other routine annual expenses in the first quarter. Lease
operating expenses also do not reflect $0.9 million of income
generated by Magnify Energy Services.
Severance and Ad Valorem taxes in the second
quarter were approximately $4.6 million, a decrease of $0.3 million
compared to $4.9 million in the prior quarter. Severance and Ad
Valorem taxes as a percentage of revenue were approximately 6.4%
this quarter compared to 6.5% in the prior quarter.
Amplify incurred $4.9 million, or $2.66 per Boe,
of gathering, processing and transportation expenses in the second
quarter, compared to $4.8 million, or $2.59 per Boe, in the prior
quarter.
Second quarter cash G&A expenses were $6.6
million, a decrease of $1.3 million from the prior quarter and
in-line with expectations. This decrease was primarily due to
year-end processes that impacted various cost drivers annually in
the first quarter and a one-time cost associated with the early
termination of our Tulsa office lease. The Company anticipates that
quarterly cash G&A expenses will remain at approximately this
same level throughout the remainder of 2024.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense
for the second quarter totaled $7.8 million, or $4.25 per Boe,
compared to $8.2 million, or $4.47 per Boe, in the prior
quarter.
Net interest expense was $3.6 million for the
second quarter, an increase of $0.1 million from $3.5 million in
the prior quarter.
Amplify recorded current income tax expense of
$0.6 million for the second quarter.
Capital Investments
Cash capital investment during the second
quarter of 2024 was approximately $18.0 million. During the second
quarter, the Company’s capital allocation was approximately 90% for
Beta facility projects and development drilling, with the remainder
distributed across the Company’s other assets.

The majority of the Company’s capital
investments for the remainder of 2024 will be allocated to Beta to
continue the development program and complete the electrification
and emissions reduction infrastructure project, which are currently
underway. Additionally, the Company has elected to participate in
several non-operated drilling opportunities comprised of 14 gross
(0.7 net) new development wells and 2 gross (0.4 net) recompletion
projects in the Eagle Ford and 4 gross (1.0 net) wells in East
Texas. In total, Amplify expects to invest $7 – 9 million in these
non-operated opportunities. As a result, the Company is updating
guidance to reflect these elections and now expects to invest $60 –
65 million in 2024. These non-operated development projects are
expected to provide additional volumes and cash flow in early
2025.
Beta Development and Facility Upgrade
Update
In the second quarter, the Company successfully
drilled and completed the A50 well from the Ellen platform in less
than 30 days and brought it on-line in early June. The A50 was
completed laterally in the prolific D-Sand and achieved a peak
IP-30 oil rate of approximately 730 Bopd. Rates from the well after
approximately 2 months of production were in excess of 650 Bopd.
Total capital costs for the well were approximately $4.2 million.
At current oil prices, we are projecting a 4-month payback on this
investment.
For the third quarter, the Company is moving its
drilling operations to the Eureka platform. Amplify will first
drill the C59 well (also targeting the D-Sand), which is expected
to be online in the third quarter. The Company intends to drill a
second well from Eureka platform before returning to platform Ellen
late in the fourth quarter. Amplify then anticipates finishing the
A45 well, which was deferred earlier in the year.
During the second quarter, the Company continued
the third and final phase of the electrification and emissions
reduction project at Beta, which involves installing selective
catalytic reducers on the platform generators and rig engines. This
multi-year facility project is scheduled to be completed in the
fourth quarter of 2024, within the compliance deadline as
prescribed by district air quality regulations.
Updated Full-Year 2024
Guidance
Based on better than expected results in the
first half of the year and our decision to participate in
non-operated drilling opportunities in East Texas and the Eagle
Ford, the Company is providing updated guidance for 2024. The
following guidance is subject to the cautionary statements and
limitations described under the "Forward-Looking Statements"
caption at the end of this press release. Amplify's updated 2024
guidance is based on its current expectations regarding capital
investment and full-year 2024 commodity prices for crude oil of
$76/Bbl (WTI) and natural gas of $2.25/MMBtu (Henry Hub), and on
the assumption that market demand and prices for oil and natural
gas will continue at levels that allow for economic production of
these products. Additionally, the Company expects to invest 85% to
95% of its capital in the first three quarters of the year
primarily in connection with the Beta development program and the
one-time electrification and emissions reduction facility
project.

(1) Includes production, ad valorem and franchise
taxes(2) Refer to “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for
Amplify’s definition and use of cash G&A, Adjusted EBITDA and
free cash flow, non-GAAP measures (cash income taxes, which are not
included in free cash flow, are expected to range between $4 - $8
million for the year)(3) Amplify believes that a quantitative
reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most
comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance
with GAAP cannot be made available without unreasonable efforts. A
reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures would require
Amplify to predict the timing and likelihood of future transactions
and other items that are difficult to accurately predict. Neither
of these forward-looking measures, nor their probable significance,
can be quantified with a reasonable degree of accuracy.
Accordingly, a reconciliation of the most directly comparable
forward-looking GAAP measures is not provided.
Hedging
In the second quarter, Amplify added oil and
natural gas hedges. Amplify executed 2026 natural gas swaps at a
weighted-average price of $3.88 per MMBtu and natural gas collars
with a floor of $3.62 per MMBtu and a ceiling of $4.27 per MMBtu.
Amplify also executed crude oil swaps for 2025 at a
weighted-average price of $74.10 per barrel.
The following table reflects the hedged volumes
under Amplify’s commodity derivative contracts and the average
fixed, floor and ceiling prices at which production is hedged for

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of
historical fact, included in this press release that address
activities, events or developments that the Company expects,
believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are
forward-looking statements. Terminology such as “may,” “will,”
“would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “project,” “intend,”
“anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,”
“pursue,” “target,” “outlook,” “continue,” the negative of such
terms or other comparable terminology are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are not
limited to, statements about the Company’s expectations of plans,
goals, strategies (including measures to implement strategies),
objectives and anticipated results with respect thereto. These
statements address activities, events or developments that we
expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including
things such as projections of results of operations, plans for
growth, goals, future capital expenditures, competitive strengths,
references to future intentions and other such references. These
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and
other factors that could cause the Company’s actual results or
financial condition to differ materially from those expressed or
implied by forward-looking statements. These include risks and
uncertainties relating to, among other things: the ongoing impact
of the oil incident that occurred off the coast of Southern
California resulting from the Company’s pipeline operations at the
Beta field; the Company’s evaluation and implementation of
strategic alternatives; risks related to the redetermination of the
borrowing base under the Company’s revolving credit facility; the
Company’s ability to satisfy debt obligations; the Company’s need
to make accretive acquisitions or substantial capital expenditures
to maintain its declining asset base, including the existence of
unanticipated liabilities or problems relating to acquired or
divested business or properties; volatility in the prices for oil,
natural gas and NGLs; the Company’s ability to access funds on
acceptable terms, if at all, because of the terms and conditions
governing the Company’s indebtedness, including financial
covenants; general political and economic conditions, globally and
in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including the Russian
invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war and the potential
destabilizing effect such conflicts may pose for the global oil and
natural gas markets; expectations regarding general economic
conditions, including inflation; and the impact of local, state and
federal governmental regulations, including those related to
climate change and hydraulic fracturing. Please read the Company’s
filings with the SEC, including “Risk Factors” in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K, and if applicable, the Company’s
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K,
which are available on the Company’s Investor Relations website at
https://www.amplifyenergy.com/investor-relations/sec-filings/default.aspx
or on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, for a discussion of
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
from those in such forward-looking statements. You are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements,
which speak only as of the date of this press release. All
forward-looking statements in this press release are qualified in
their entirety by these cautionary statements. Except as required
by law, the Company undertakes no obligation and does not intend to
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future results or otherwise.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
This press release and accompanying schedules
include the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, free
cash flow, net debt, and cash G&A. The accompanying schedules
provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to
their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and
presented in accordance with GAAP. Amplify’s non-GAAP financial
measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures
such as net income, operating income, net cash flows provided by
operating activities, standardized measure of discounted future net
cash flows, or any other measure of financial performance
calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Amplify’s
non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate
such measures in the same manner as Amplify does.
Adjusted EBITDA. Amplify
defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus Interest expense;
Income tax expense (benefit); DD&A; Impairment of goodwill and
long-lived assets (including oil and natural gas properties);
Accretion of AROs; Loss or (gain) on commodity derivative
instruments; Cash settlements received or (paid) on expired
commodity derivative instruments; Amortization of gain associated
with terminated commodity derivatives; Losses or (gains) on sale of
assets and other, net; Share-based compensation expenses;
Exploration costs; Acquisition and divestiture related expenses;
Reorganization items, net; Severance payments; and Other
non-routine items that we deem appropriate. Adjusted EBITDA is
commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by management and
external users of Amplify’s financial statements, such as
investors, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (1)
its operating performance as compared to other companies in
Amplify’s industry without regard to financing methods, capital
structures or historical cost basis; (2) the ability of its assets
to generate cash sufficient to pay interest and support Amplify’s
indebtedness; and (3) the viability of projects and the overall
rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. Since
Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net
income or loss and because these measures may vary among other
companies, the Adjusted EBITDA data presented in this press release
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other
companies. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted
EBITDA are net income and net cash provided by operating
activities.
Free cash flow. Amplify defines
free cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash interest expense and
capital expenditures. Free cash flow is an important non-GAAP
financial measure for Amplify’s investors since it serves as an
indicator of the Company’s success in providing a cash return on
investment. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to free cash
flow are net income and net cash provided by operating
activities.
Net debt. Amplify defines net
debt as the total principal amount drawn on the revolving credit
facility less cash and cash equivalents. The Company uses net debt
as a measure of financial position and believes this measure
provides useful additional information to investors to evaluate the
Company's capital structure and financial leverage.
Cash G&A. Amplify defines
cash G&A as general and administrative expense, less
share-based compensation expense; acquisition and divestiture
costs; bad debt expense; and severance payments. Cash G&A is an
important non-GAAP financial measure for Amplify’s investors since
it allows for analysis of G&A spend without regard to
share-based compensation and other non-recurring expenses which can
vary substantially from company to company. The GAAP measures most
directly comparable to cash G&A is total G&A expenses.
