HighPeak Energy, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2023 Financial and Operating Results and Updated Development Plan

FORT WORTH, Texas, May 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HighPeak Energy, Inc. (โ€œHighPeakโ€ or the โ€œCompanyโ€) (NASDAQ: HPK) today announced financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and provided an updated development plan.ย ย 

Highlights

  • Produced average sales volumes of 37,222 barrels of crude oil equivalent per day (โ€œBoe/dโ€), consisting of 85% crude oil and 94% liquids.
  • Generated net income of $50.3 million and EBITDAX (a non-GAAP financial measure defined and reconciled below) of $173.9 million.
  • Realized average price of $66.80 per Boe, or approximately 88% of the weighted average of NYMEX WTI crude oil prices, excluding the effects of derivatives.
  • Achieved a cash margin of $52.56 per Boe, or approximately 79% of the first quarter average realized price, excluding the effects of derivatives.
  • Ended the first quarter with 64 gross (61.3 net) horizontal wells in various stages of drilling and completion; and, throughout the quarter, turned in line 32 gross (25.8 net) horizontal wells.

Development Outlook and Revised Guidance

HighPeak revised its development outlook for 2023 by reducing its drilling rig count from four (4) to two (2) rigs effective June through the remainder of 2023. The Company previously reduced the number of completion crews from four (4) to two (2) and will continue to run an average of two (2) through the remainder of 2023 to complete the operational DUCs generated by the previous six (6) rig program. This revised plan is expected to reduce 2023 capital expenditures by approximately $250 million from the original capital budget.

In early 2024, HighPeak expects to increase its drilling activity back to a four (4) rig program and maintain two (2) completion crews while entirely funding all activity through operating cash flow. The Company continues to regularly monitor market conditions and the state of the overall economy and may accelerate drilling activity if commodity prices warrant.

HighPeak Chairman and CEO, Jack Hightower, said, โ€œGiven the current economic environment and the volatility of commodity prices year to date, adjusting to a more conservative development approach strengthens our financial position by reducing our capital budget and accelerates our timeline to reach free cash flow to the third quarter. Slowing down our development cadence for the remainder of the year while maintaining production guidance close to our initial range is a testament to the high quality of our asset base. In addition, we plan to increase to a four-rig program in early 2024, which we anticipate funding entirely through cash flow from operations while increasing production and generating substantial free cash flow. The reduction in drilling activity demonstrates the Company's commitment to financial discipline and delivering long-term value for its shareholders. We remain focused on our long-term development strategy to maximize value either through sustained operations or strategic alternatives.โ€

First Quarter Operational Update and Financial Results

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company drilled 25 gross horizontal wells utilizing an average of five drilling rigs. The Company completed 32 gross producing wells. At March 31, 2023, the Company had 49 gross wells in various stages of completion and was in the process of drilling 15 gross wells.

The Companyโ€™s sales volumes during the first quarter of 2023 averaged 37,222 Boe/d, consisting of approximately 85% crude oil and 94% liquids. HighPeak reported net income of $50.3 million for the first quarter of 2023, or $0.39 per diluted share, andย EBITDAX of $173.9 million, or $1.34 per diluted share.ย 

First quarter average realized prices were $76.07 per barrel of crude oil, $27.04 per barrel of NGL and $2.21 per Mcf of natural gas, resulting in an overall realized price of $66.80 per Boe, or 88% of the weighted average of NYMEX crude oil prices, excluding the effects of derivatives.ย HighPeakโ€™s cash costs for the first quarter were $14.25 per Boe, including lease operating expenses of $8.57 per Boe, workover expenses of $1.26 per Boe, production and ad valorem taxes of $3.67 per Boe and cash G&A expenses of $0.75 per Boe.ย The Companyโ€™s cash margin was $52.56 per Boe, or 69% of the weighted average of NYMEX crude oil prices for the quarter, excluding the effects of derivatives.

HighPeakโ€™s first quarter 2023 capital expenditures to drill, complete, equip, provide facilities and to build water and power infrastructure were approximately $379.1 million.ย In addition, the Company incurred capital expenditures of approximately $5.5 million primarily related to leasehold acquisitions.

At March 31, 2023, the Company had $895.0 million in long-term debt and $47.5 million of cash on hand.ย 

HighPeak President Michael Hollis commented, โ€œHighPeak is a differentiated growth story. Our first quarter production increased more than 200 percent year over year. Our plan for the second half of 2023 is to run two drilling rigs and keep two full frac crews busy by completing our existing DUCs generated with our previous six rig program. On average, one frac crew can service two drilling rigs. Maintaining two frac crews equates to bringing the same number of wells online as we would with four rigs.ย ย  The plan is to go back to four rigs around the end of the year to keep the completion cadence level-loaded throughout 2024. We project an additional 30 percent growth of average production in 2024 over this yearโ€™s average with our new development plan. With free cash flow, we have the optionality to reduce debt, increase shareholder returns, or accelerate our production growth, all of which increases the value of the Company for strategic alternatives.โ€

Hedging

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had crude oil swaps in place to hedge 822,000 barrels of its remaining 2023 crude oil production, or 2,989 barrels of oil per day, at an average swap price of $69.32 per barrel. In addition, the Company had deferred premium put options in place for the remainder of 2023 and 2024 totaling 1.93 million barrels and 1.37 million barrels or 7,011 and 3,743 barrels of oil per day, respectively, with deferred premiums of $5.00 per barrel and strike prices averaging $58.43 and $51.50 for the remainder of 2023 and 2024, respectively. In addition, in April 2023, the Company entered into an additional deferred premium put option contract for 5,000 barrels of oil per day from January 2024 through September 2024 at a strike price of $56.15 per barrel with deferred premiums of $5.00 per barrel. The Companyโ€™s crude oil derivative contracts are based on reported settlement prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange for West Texas Intermediate pricing.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The information in this press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. When used in this document, the words โ€œbelieves,โ€ โ€œplans,โ€ โ€œexpects,โ€ โ€œanticipates,โ€ โ€œforecasts,โ€ โ€œintends,โ€ โ€œcontinue,โ€ โ€œmay,โ€ โ€œwill,โ€ โ€œcould,โ€ โ€œshould,โ€ โ€œfuture,โ€ โ€œpotential,โ€ โ€œestimateโ€ or the negative of such terms and similar expressions as they relate to HighPeak Energy, Inc. (โ€œHighPeak Energy,โ€ the โ€œCompanyโ€ or the โ€œSuccessorโ€) are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are generally not historical in nature. The forward-looking statements are based on the Company's current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about the Company and the industry in which the Company operates. Although the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, they involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and, in many cases, beyond the Company's control. For example, the Companyโ€™s review of strategic alternatives may not result in a sale of the Company, a recommendation that a transaction occur or result in a completed transaction, and any transaction that occurs may not increase shareholder value, in each case as a result of such risks and uncertainties.

These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the results of the strategic review being undertaken by the Companyโ€™s Board and the interest of prospective counterparties, the Companyโ€™s ability to realize the results contemplated by the 2023 and 2024 guidance contained herein, volatility of commodity prices, product supply and demand, the impact of a widespread outbreak of an illness, such as the coronavirus disease pandemic, on global and U.S. economic activity, competition, the ability to obtain environmental and other permits and the timing thereof, other government regulation or action, the ability to obtain approvals from third parties and negotiate agreements with third parties on mutually acceptable terms, litigation, the costs and results of drilling and operations, availability of equipment, services, resources and personnel required to perform the Company's drilling and operating activities, access to and availability of transportation, processing, fractionation, refining and storage facilities, HighPeak Energy's ability to replace reserves, implement its business plans or complete its development activities as scheduled, access to and cost of capital, the financial strength of counterparties to any credit facility and derivative contracts entered into by HighPeak Energy, if any, and purchasers of HighPeak Energy's oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas production, uncertainties about estimates of reserves, identification of drilling locations and the ability to add proved reserves in the future, the assumptions underlying forecasts, including forecasts of production, expenses, cash flow from sales of oil and gas and tax rates, quality of technical data, environmental and weather risks, including the possible impacts of climate change, cybersecurity risks and acts of war or terrorism. These and other risks are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no duty to publicly update these statements except as required by law.

Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of hydrocarbons that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. Reserves estimates included herein may not be indicative of the level of reserves or PV-10 value of oil and natural gas production in the future, as they are based on prices significantly higher than current commodity prices. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions could impact HighPeakโ€™s strategy and change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Use of Projections

The financial, operational, industry and market projections, estimates and targets in this press release (including production, operating expenses and capital expenditures in future periods) are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Companyโ€™s control. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected, expected or target results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, regulatory and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the financial, operational, industry and market projections, estimates and targets, including assumptions, risks and uncertainties described in โ€œCautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statementsโ€ above. These projections are speculative by their nature and, accordingly, are subject to significant risk of not being actually realized by the Company. Projected results of the Company for 2024 are particularly speculative and subject to change. Actual results may vary materially from the current projections, including for reasons beyond the Companyโ€™s control. The projections are based on current expectations and available information as of the date of this release. The Company undertakes no duty to publicly update these projections except as required by law.

Drilling Locations

The Company has estimated its drilling locations based on well spacing assumptions and upon the evaluation of its drilling results and those of other operators in its area, combined with its interpretation of available geologic and engineering data. The drilling locations actually drilled on the Companyโ€™s properties will depend on the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, commodity prices, costs, actual drilling results and other factors. Any drilling activities conducted on these identified locations may not be successful and may not result in additional proved reserves. Further, to the extent the drilling locations are associated with acreage that expires, the Company would lose its right to develop the related locations.
