DENVER, Nov. 03, 2021 - Centennial Resource Development Inc. ("Centennial" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CDEV) today announced third quarter 2021 financial and operational results.
Recent Financial and Operational Highlights
Generated record free cash flow, a 126% increase compared to the prior quarter
Repaid $50 million in borrowings under the Company's credit facility during the quarter
Announced pending sale of non-core asset in southern Reeves County, Texas
Increased daily crude oil production 5% compared to the prior quarter
Increased full-year oil and total company production guidance
Financial Results
For the third quarter, Centennial generated net cash from operating activities of $153.5 million and free cash flow1 of $77.2 million. The Company reported net income during the quarter of $37.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $51.5 million, or $(0.19) loss per diluted share, in the prior year period.
Average daily crude oil production during the third quarter was 33,529 barrels of oil per day ("Bbls/d") compared to 35,292 Bbls/d in the prior year period. Total equivalent production for the quarter averaged 65,121 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("Boe/d") compared to 68,934 Boe/d in the prior year period. Third quarter average daily crude oil and total equivalent production increased 5% and 6%, respectively, quarter-over-quarter.
"Centennial delivered a strong third quarter. Solid well results coupled with higher commodity prices drove record free cash flow and a material reduction in leverage," said Sean R. Smith, Chief Executive Officer. "Assuming receipt of the proceeds from our pending divestiture and strip pricing, we anticipate ending the year with a net debt-to-LTM EBITDAX2 ratio of approximately 1.5x."
Third Quarter Operational Results
Using multi-well pads and extended laterals, Centennial continues to efficiently develop its Delaware Basin acreage position. In Lea County, New Mexico, the three-well Crunch Berry 6 Federal Com pad (70% working interest ("WI")) was completed in the Third Bone Spring Sand interval with average 9,500-foot laterals. The wells averaged 2,047 Boe/d, or 1,607 Bbls/d of oil, per well for the 30-day initial production ("IP") period. "With the robust results from the Crunch Berry wells and current strip prices, we expect these wells to pay-out in less than six months," said Smith.
Located on the western portion of Centennial's New Mexico position, the Mozzarella Fed Com (91% WI) and Gouda Federal Com (95% WI) represent a four-well development in the Third Bone Spring Sand interval with average 10,050-foot laterals. The wells averaged 2,147 Boe/d, or 1,615 Bbls/d of oil, per well for the 30-day IP period.
Drilled in the Wolfcamp C interval in Reeves County, Texas with an approximate 8,100-foot lateral, the Highlander West Deep C09H (100% WI) was another strong result for the Company. The well delivered a 30-day IP rate of 1,793 Boe/d (77% oil), or 170 Bbls/d of oil per 1,000 foot of lateral.
Total capital expenditures incurred for the quarter were $78.9 million. Third quarter drilling, completion and facilities costs totaled $74.9 million, while infrastructure, land and other capital expenditures totaled $4.0 million.
"Our operations team has done an excellent job demonstrating capital cost control this year," said Smith. "Going forward, we will continue to focus on driving further efficiencies, extending lateral lengths and expanding pad sizes to help offset future oilfield service cost inflation."
Non-Core Divestiture
Centennial recently entered into a definitive agreement with affiliates of Henry Resources, LLC and Pickering Energy Partners, LP for the sale of approximately 6,200 net leasehold acres and related assets at closing for a cash purchase price of $101 million. The divested acreage is located on the southernmost portion of the Company's Reeves County position. Third quarter estimated average net production associated with the divested acreage was approximately 1,600 Boe/d (64% oil), or less than 3% of total company production. The transaction is expected to close in December of 2021, subject to customary closing terms and conditions, and its impact is included in the Company's updated 2021 operational targets.
"We are pleased to have monetized this acreage position given that our near-term capital is focused on other areas of our portfolio," said Smith. "Upon closing, the net proceeds will go to reduce borrowings on the Company's revolver."
Updated 2021 Operational Targets
Based on recent operational results, Centennial increased its 2021 total company and oil production guidance by 3% and 2%, respectively. The Company also increased the expected number of wells spud this year due to continued operational efficiencies. As a result of higher than expected activity, Centennial has adjusted its full-year capital expenditure range. Furthermore, Centennial has updated its full-year 2021 production cost estimates. (For a summary table of Centennial's updated 2021 operational guidance, please see the Appendix to this press release.)
Capital Structure and Liquidity
During the third quarter, Centennial repaid $50.0 million of borrowings under its revolving credit facility, leaving $205.0 million outstanding at September 30, 2021. Total debt at the end of the quarter was $1,020.8 million. Net debt-to-LTM EBITDAX2 at September 30, 2021 was 2.1x compared to 3.0x at June 30, 2021. Centennial's total liquidity position improved by $47.8 million quarter-over-quarter to $493.5 million, based on its $700.0 million borrowing base, credit facility borrowings, $6.5 million in current letters of credit outstanding and cash on hand as of September 30, 2021.
"Year-to-date, we have repaid $125 million in borrowings under our credit facility primarily utilizing free cash flow," said Smith. "Assuming current strip pricing and the successful closing of our pending divestiture, we expect to have minimal borrowings under our revolver at year-end. Additionally, our net debt-to-LTM EBITDAX2 metric of 2.1x represents a significant de-leveraging of the balance sheet that is expected to continue in subsequent quarters and will significantly enhance our financial flexibility over time."
Hedge Position Update
Since its last update on August 3, 2021, the Company has added incremental oil hedges for the full-year 2022. For the first half of 2022, the Company entered into 1,757 Bbls/d of incremental oil swaps at a weighted average fixed price of $68.42 per barrel WTI. Also for this period, the Company added 2,500 Bbls/d of WTI oil collars with a weighted average floor price of $63.40 per barrel and ceiling price of $73.35 per barrel. For the second half of 2022, the Company entered into 2,000 Bbls/d of incremental oil swaps at a weighted average fixed price of $67.38 per barrel WTI. As a result, Centennial now has a total of 10,971 Bbls/d of oil hedged for the full-year 2022, consisting of approximately 89% fixed price swaps with the remainder in costless collars. Notably, the Company's oil hedges are weighted towards the first half of 2022 with 14,500 Bbls/d of oil hedged during this period. For the second half of 2022, Centennial has 7,500 Bbls/d of oil hedged.
In addition to the 2022 hedge positions discussed above, Centennial has certain other crude oil and natural gas hedges, crude oil and natural gas basis swaps and crude oil roll differential swaps in place. (For a summary table of Centennial's derivative contracts as of October 31, 2021, please see the Appendix to this press release.)

The information in 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, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this press release, the words "could," "may," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "expect," "project," "goal," "plan," "target" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events.
Forward-looking statements may include statements about:
volatility of oil, natural gas and NGL prices or a prolonged period of low oil, natural gas or NGL prices and the effects of actions by, or disputes among or between, members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC"), such as Saudi Arabia, and other oil and natural gas producing countries, such as Russia, with respect to production levels or other matters related to the price of oil;
the effects of excess supply of oil and natural gas resulting from reduced demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken in response by certain oil and natural gas producing countries;
our business strategy and future drilling plans;
our reserves and our ability to replace the reserves we produce through drilling and property acquisitions;
our drilling prospects, inventories, projects and programs;
our financial strategy, leverage, liquidity and capital required for our development program;
our realized oil, natural gas and NGL prices;
the timing and amount of our future production of oil, natural gas and NGLs;
our hedging strategy and results;
our competition and government regulations;
our ability to obtain permits and governmental approvals;
our pending legal or environmental matters;
the marketing and transportation of our oil, natural gas and NGLs;
our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions contained in this press release that are not historical; and
the other factors described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and any updates to those factors set forth in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K.
We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to the development, production, gathering and sale of oil and natural gas. These risks include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility, inflation, lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services, environmental risks, drilling and other operating risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating oil and gas reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital, the timing of development expenditures and the other risks described in our filings with the SEC.
Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any oil and gas reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data, and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would 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.
Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this press release occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.
Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release.
1) Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included within the Appendix of this press release for related disclosures and a reconciliation to net cash provided by operating activities, our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
2) Net debt-to-LTM EBITDAX is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines net debt as long-term debt, net, plus unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs on senior notes minus cash and cash equivalents. The Company defines net debt-to-LTM EBITDAX as net debt (defined above) divided by Adjusted EBITDAX (defined and reconciled in the Appendix of this press release for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020) for the prior twelve-month period. The Company refers to this metric to show trends that investors may find useful in understanding the Company's ability to service its debt. This metric is widely used by professional research analysts, including credit analysts, in the valuation and comparison of companies in the oil and gas exploration and production industry. Centennial does not provide guidance on the items used to reconcile between forecasted net debt-to-LTM EBITDAX to forecasted long-term debt, net, or forecasted net income due to the uncertainty regarding timing and estimates of certain items. Therefore, Centennial cannot reconcile forecasted net debt-to-LTM EBITDAX to forecasted long-term debt, net, or forecasted net income without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), our earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures as described below.
Adjusted EBITDAX
Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, exploration and other expenses, impairment and abandonment expenses, non-cash gains or losses on derivatives, stock-based compensation (not cash-settled), gain/loss on extinguishment of debt, gain/loss from the sale of assets and non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by GAAP.
Our management believes Adjusted EBITDAX is useful as it allows them to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period and against our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDAX. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDAX should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAX to net income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:

(1) Includes stock-based compensation for equity awards and also for cash-based liability awards that have not yet been settled in cash, both of which relate to general and administrative employees only. Stock-based compensation amounts for geographical and geophysical personnel are included within the Exploration and other expenses line item.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities before changes in working capital, less incurred capital expenditures.
Our management believes free cash flow is a useful indicator of the Company's ability to internally fund its exploration and development activities and to service or incur additional debt, without regard to the timing of settlement of either operating assets and liabilities or accounts payable related to capital expenditures. The Company believes that this measure, as so adjusted, presents a meaningful indicator of the Company's actual sources and uses of capital associated with its operations conducted during the applicable period. Our computations of free cash flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Free cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, cash provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as indicator of our operating performance or liquidity.
Free cash flow is not a financial measure that is determined in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, the following table presents a reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:
