Exhibit 99.1

 

 
Gulfport Energy Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial and Operating Results and Provides 2024 Operational and Financial Guidance

 

OKLAHOMA CITY (February 27, 2024) Gulfport Energy Corporation (NYSE: GPOR) (“Gulfport” or the “Company”) today reported financial and operating results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and provided its 2024 outlook.

 

Fourth Quarter 2023

 

Delivered total net production of 1,063.3 MMcfe per day, above analyst consensus expectations

 

Reported $245.7 million of net income and $190.8 million of adjusted EBITDA(1), above analyst consensus expectations

 

Generated $155.5 million of net cash provided by operating activities and $85.4 million of adjusted free cash flow(1), excluding discretionary acreage acquisitions

 

Incurred capital expenditures, excluding discretionary acreage acquisitions, of $82.9 million

 

Utilized adjusted free cash flow(1) for discretionary acreage acquisitions totaling $23.1 million

 

Repurchased 490 thousand shares of common stock for approximately $66.0 million

 

Full Year 2023 Highlights and Recent Highlights

 

Delivered total net production of 1,054.3 MMcfe per day, at the high end of the Company’s increased guidance range

 

Reported $1.5 billion of net income and $725.0 million of adjusted EBITDA(1), above analyst consensus expectations

 

Generated $723.2 million of net cash provided by operating activities and $198.9 million of adjusted free cash flow(1), excluding discretionary acreage acquisitions

 

Incurred capital expenditures, excluding discretionary acreage acquisitions, of $443.4 million

 

Maintained a strong balance sheet and low financial leverage, with liquidity at December 31, 2023 totaling $720.1 million

 

Expanded common stock repurchase authorization in February 2023 and October 2023, to a total of $650 million with approximately $236 million(2) remaining

 

Returned substantially all full year adjusted free cash flow(1), excluding discretionary acreage acquisitions, to shareholders by repurchasing 1.5 million shares of common stock for approximately $148.9 million

 

 

 

 

Allocated $48.0 million toward discretionary acreage acquisitions, expanding high-quality resource base and adding over 1.5 years of inventory at current development pace

 

Developed first Marcellus two-well pad in Belmont County, Ohio with promising initial results, delineating approximately 50 to 60 locations, representing multiple years of additional liquids-rich drilling inventory

 

Achieved significant operational efficiencies, with average drilling footage per day and completion hours pumped per day improving by 60% and 30% year-over-year, respectively

 

Full Year 2024 Outlook

 

Expect to deliver relatively flat year-over-year net production with a range of 1,045 MMcfe to 1,080 MMcfe per day

 

Plan to invest total base capital expenditures of $380 million to $420 million, including $50 million to $60 million on maintenance leasehold and land investment, a decrease of approximately 10%(3) compared to full year 2023 and focused on more liquids-rich development in the Utica and SCOOP

 

Forecast delivering a significantly more capital efficient program associated with longer laterals and continued cycle time improvements; plan to deliver similar net completed lateral footage compared to 2023 while turning to sales 20% fewer gross wells

 

Plan to continue to allocate substantially all adjusted free cash flow(1), excluding acquisitions, toward common share repurchases

 

“Gulfport’s 2023 results delivered on all fronts, highlighted by our quality resource base and the continued improvement of development efficiencies throughout the year. The Company delivered net production at the high end of the updated guidance range, and well above our initial guidance provided in February 2023. This was accomplished while staying within our initial capital budget range, despite the incremental activity accelerated during the fourth quarter of 2023, as previously disclosed. The company augmented our attractive acreage portfolio by strategically acquiring liquids-rich Utica acreage that extended our inventory base by ~1.5 years and by delineating ~2 years of liquids rich Marcellus locations overlying our Utica acreage at no incremental land cost. This additional inventory provides fundamental value to the company as well as expanded optionality to our go-forward development plans. The 2023 development program led to meaningful adjusted free cash flow generation, and after adjusting for cash flow utilized for attractive discretionary acreage acquisitions, we allocated approximately 99% of our adjusted free cash flow to repurchasing our common stock during 2023. All of this was achieved while maintaining our strong balance sheet, ample liquidity and financial leverage below one times,” commented John Reinhart, CEO of Gulfport.

 

“As we move into 2024, the current natural gas pricing environment is challenged and reinforces the importance of developing our assets in an efficient and sustainable manner. Building on the momentum from 2023, we plan to remain focused on further optimizing our development programs cycle times and operating costs, and we laid out a program today expected to deliver similar production year over year on 10% less capital invested. Furthermore, our development program will focus on more liquids-rich development in both the Utica and SCOOP, ultimately improving margins and supporting our robust expected adjusted free cash flow generation, despite today’s challenging commodity backdrop. We plan to continue the return of capital to our shareholders and, excluding acquisitions, expect to allocate substantially all our full year 2024 adjusted free cash flow towards common stock repurchases.”

Developed
   Proved

   Total
Proved
 
   ($ in millions) 
Estimated future net revenue(1)  $2,535   $2,235   $4,769 
Present value of estimated future net revenue (PV-10)(1)  $1,590   $819   $2,409 
Standardized measure(1)            $2,383 

 

Totals may not sum due to rounding.

 

 

 

(1)Estimated future net revenue represents the estimated future revenue to be generated from the production of proved reserves, net of estimated production and future development costs, using prices and costs under existing economic conditions as of December 31, 2023, and assuming commodity prices as set forth below. For the purpose of determining prices used in our reserve reports, we used the unweighted arithmetic average of the prices on the first day of each month within the 12-month period ended December 31, 2023. The prices used in our PV-10 measure were the average West Texas Intermediate Spot price of $78.21 per barrel and the average Henry Hub Spot price of $2.64 per MMBtu, before basis differential adjustments. These prices should not be interpreted as a prediction of future prices, nor do they reflect the value of our commodity derivative instruments in place as of December 31, 2023. The amounts shown do not give effect to non-property-related expenses, such as corporate general and administrative expenses and debt service, or to depreciation, depletion and amortization. The present value of estimated future net revenue typically differs from the standardized measure because the former does not include the effects of estimated future income tax expense of $26 million as of December 31, 2023.

 

Management uses PV-10, which is calculated without deducting estimated future income tax expenses, as a measure of the value of the Company’s current proved reserves and to compare relative values among peer companies. We also understand that securities analysts and rating agencies use this measure in similar ways. While estimated future net revenue and the present value thereof are based on prices, costs and discount factors which may be consistent from company to company, the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is dependent on the unique tax situation of each individual company. PV-10 should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows or any other measure of a company’s financial or operating performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

 

A reconciliation of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows to PV-10 is presented above. Neither PV-10 nor the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows purport to represent the fair value of our proved oil and gas reserves.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

 

Gulfport’s management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and evaluating business and financial performance, and believes that they are useful tool to assess Gulfport’s operating results. Although these are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), management believes that these financial measures are useful to an investor in evaluating Gulfport because (i) analysts utilize these metrics when evaluating company performance and have requested this information as of a recent practicable date, (ii) these metrics are widely used to evaluate a company’s operating performance, and (iii) we want to provide updated information to investors. Investors should not view these metrics as a substitute for measures of performance that are calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because all companies do not calculate these measures identically, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies

 

These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow, and recurring general and administrative expense. A reconciliation of each financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included in the tables below. These non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Definitions

 

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to income (loss) before deferred income tax expense (benefit), non-cash derivative loss (gain), non-recurring general and administrative expenses comprised of expenses related to the continued administration of our prior Chapter 11 filing, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation expenses and other items which include items related to our Chapter 11 filing and other non-material expenses.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas properties, property and equipment, accretion, non-cash derivative (gain) loss, non-recurring general and administrative expenses comprised of expenses related to the continued administration of our prior Chapter 11 filing, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation and other items which include items related to our Chapter 11 filing and other non-material expenses.

 

Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as adjusted EBITDA plus certain non-cash items that are included in net cash provided by operating activities but excluded from adjusted EBITDA less interest expense, capital expenses incurred and capital expenditures incurred, excluding discretionary acreage acquisitions. Gulfport includes a adjusted free cash flow estimate for 2024. We are unable, however, to provide a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP measure to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure because management cannot reliably quantify certain of the necessary components of such forward-looking GAAP measure. Accordingly, Gulfport is relying on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i) (B) of Regulation S-K to exclude such reconciliation. Items excluded in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to arrive at adjusted free cash flow include interest expense, income taxes, capitalized expenses as well as one-time items or items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated.

 

Recurring general and administrative expense is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to general and administrative expense (GAAP) plus capitalized general and administrative expense, less non-recurring general and administrative expenses comprised of expenses related to the continued administration of our prior Chapter 11 filing. Gulfport includes a recurring general and administrative expense estimate for 2023. We are unable, however, to provide a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP measure to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure because management cannot reliably quantify certain of the necessary components of such forward-looking GAAP measure. Accordingly, Gulfport is relying on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i) (B) of Regulation S-K to exclude such reconciliation. Items excluded in general and administrative expense to arrive at recurring general and administrative expense include capitalized expenses as well as one-time items or items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated. The non-GAAP measure recurring general and administrative expenses allows investors to compare Gulfport’s total general and administrative expenses, including capitalization, to peer companies that account for their oil and gas operations using the successful efforts method.
