Rosetta Resources Inc. Announces 2015 First Quarter Financial and Operational Results
04.05.2015 | GlobeNewswire
- Increased total daily oil equivalent production volumes by 21 percent versus the first quarter 2014
- Provided early results of enhanced, long lateral South Gates Ranch well with a 7-day initial production rate of 6,400 Boe/d or 800 Boe per 1,000 foot of lateral
- Successfully drilled three upper Eagle Ford test wells at Gates Ranch
- Continued to improve Delaware Basin well results with three Wolfcamp 'A' bench completions
- Reaffirmed corporate credit facility borrowing base of $950 million and commitment amount of $800 million
HOUSTON, May 4, 2015 - Rosetta Resources Inc. (Nasdaq:ROSE) ("Rosetta" or the "Company") today reported adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for the first quarter 2015 was a loss of $8.6 million, or $(0.13) per diluted share, versus adjusted net income of $45.6 million, or $0.74 per diluted share for the same period in 2014. The decrease in adjusted net income was primarily driven by lower commodity prices. Net income for the quarter, which included a non-cash impairment of $798.1 million, was a loss of $539.7 million, or $(8.42) per diluted share, versus net income of $35.2 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, in 2014. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $104.8 million in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $163.8 million in the first quarter 2014. A summary of the adjustments made to calculate adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA is included in the attached "Non-GAAP Reconciliation Disclosure" tables.
"The Rosetta team carried out our first quarter financial and operational programs with discipline and excellence," said Jim Craddock, Rosetta's Chairman, CEO and President. "As we progress through 2015 we will utilize our free cash flow and ample liquidity to continue to explore opportunities to innovate and optimize our operations in order to remain an efficient low cost operator and deliver strong economic returns."
2015 First Quarter Results
Production for the quarter averaged 66 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day ("MBoe/d"), an increase of 21 percent from the same period in 2014 and toward the high end of the 64 – 67 MBoe/d first quarter 2015 guidance range. The decline in production volumes from the 73 MBoe/d in the fourth quarter 2014 is attributable to the Company's election to manage completion activity to preserve future value given the current commodity price down cycle. Oil production in the first quarter averaged 18 thousand barrels per day, an increase of 14 percent from 2014. Natural gas liquids ("NGLs") daily production also increased by 20 percent compared to the prior year first quarter.
Revenues for the first quarter of 2015 were $173.1 million compared to $214.6 million for the same period in 2014. First quarter revenues excluding unrealized derivative losses were $187.8 million in 2015 and $230.4 million in 2014. A summary of the Company's quarterly production results and average sales prices by commodity is included in the attached "Summary of Operating Data" table.
Lease operating expense ("LOE"), including workovers and insurance expense, for the first quarter was $3.69 per Boe, a 15 percent increase on a per-unit basis due to lower volumes in the first quarter, but flat compared to fourth quarter on an absolute dollar basis. Similarly, treating and transportation expense increased by nine percent on a per-unit basis versus the prior quarter to $4.13 per Boe, but decreased five percent on an absolute dollar basis. Overall, total cash production costs for the first quarter were five percent lower than the fourth quarter 2014 and below the first quarter guidance range. A summary of the Company's first quarter operating costs on a per-unit basis is included in the attached "Summary of Operating Data" table.
Operational Update
In the first quarter of 2015, Rosetta made capital investments of approximately $151.5 million. The Company drilled or participated in a total of 16 gross wells and completed 23 gross wells, of which 19 were placed on production. The first quarter capital spend included approximately $132.2 million for drilling and completion activities and $19.3 million of other capital expenses including leasehold, capitalized interest and geological and geophysical costs.
EAGLE FORD
Daily production from the Eagle Ford was 58.4 MBoe/d in the first quarter, an increase of 17 percent from the same period in 2014. Capital spending included $67.8 million for drilling and completion activity. During the quarter, three wells were drilled and 14 completed, of which 11 were brought on production. At the end of the quarter, 44 drilled wells were awaiting completion, down from 55 at year end 2014. Late in the first quarter, Rosetta completed three Gates Ranch wells utilizing new frac designs with additional proppant and tighter cluster spacing. The initial well using these new design methods is detailed in the table below:
| Well Name | Rosetta WI, % | Bench / Lateral Length | # Frac Stages | Gross 7-Day IP Boe/d | Gross 7-Day IP per 1,000 ft Boe/d | Liquids % (Condensate/ NGLs) |
| Gates Ranch 28-19H | 100 | LEF / 8,000 ft | 40 | 6,413 | 802 | 20 / 38 |
The Company plans to continue to optimize its well completion design and test various other opportunities in 2015 including infill wells, upper Eagle Ford potential, and the re-fracking of previously completed wells.
PERMIAN BASIN
Rosetta's production from the Permian averaged approximately 7.3 MBoe/d in the first quarter, an increase of 70 percent from the same period in 2014. Capital spending included $64.4 million for drilling and completion activity. During the quarter, six gross operated horizontal wells were drilled while three gross operated horizontal wells were completed and brought on production.
In Reeves County, the Company advanced its Wolfcamp horizontal program with the completion of three operated Wolfcamp 'A' wells, as detailed in the table below:
| Well Name | Rosetta WI, % | Bench / Lateral Length | # Frac Stages | Gross 30-Day IP Boe/d | Gross 30-Day IP per 1,000 ft Boe/d | Oil % |
| Black Jack 16 8H | 100 | WC A / 4,400 ft | 17 | 1,101 | 250 | 73 |
| Billy Miner 27 2H | 99.5 | WC A / 4,200 ft | 18 | 1,080 | 257 | 74 |
| Billy Miner 27 9H | 99.5 | WC A / 4,800 ft | 22 | 1,307 | 272 | 72 |
When averaged, these wells had a peak 30-day initial production rate per 1,000-foot lateral of 260 Boe/d. The Company also participated in five Wolfcamp horizontal wells completed and brought on production by other operators in Reeves County during the quarter, all targeting the Wolfcamp 'A' bench. At the end of the quarter, 18 drilled horizontal wells were awaiting completion, up from 15 at year end 2014. The Company expects to drill two and complete four gross operated horizontal wells during the remainder of 2015.
Financing and Derivatives Update
On April 21, the Company's Senior Revolving Credit Facility ("Credit Facility") borrowing base and elected commitment amount were reaffirmed at $950 million and $800 million, respectively. As of May 1, 2015, Rosetta had no borrowings outstanding and the full $800 million commitment amount available for borrowing under the Credit Facility giving Rosetta a total liquidity position of $821 million.
At April 28, 2015, Rosetta's notional volumes hedged equated to approximately 75% of its projected 2015 oil equivalent production and 25% of its projected 2016 production. As of March 31, 2015, the Company's commodity hedged positions had a mark-to-market value of roughly $272 million. The attached "Derivatives Summary" table outlines the Company's overall commodity derivatives position as of April 28, 2015.
Outlook
Rosetta expects to deliver second quarter production in the range of 57 – 60 MBoe/d and spend approximately $55 million in capital investments. The Company's full year capital guidance of approximately $350 million, excluding acquisition capital, remains unchanged from the previous estimate. The remainder of 2015 capital program is based on drilling eight to ten and completing 18 to 20 gross operated horizontal wells. Based on the planned capital level, Rosetta reiterates the full year 2015 production range of 58 – 62 MBoe/d. The average oil ratio is expected to be approximately 27 percent in 2015 with total liquids estimated at 63 percent. A summary of the Company's cost per-unit expense guidance for the second quarter and full year 2015 is outlined in the attached "Summary of Guidance" table.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes forward-looking statements, which give the Company's current expectations or forecasts of future events based on currently available information. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts, such as expectations regarding drilling plans, including the acceleration or deceleration thereof, production rates and guidance, proven reserves, resource potential, incremental transportation capacity, exit rate guidance, net present value, development plans, progress on infrastructure projects, exposures to weak oil, natural gas, and NGL prices, changes in the Company's liquidity, changes in acreage positions, expected expenses, expected capital expenditures, and projected debt balances. The assumptions of management and the future performance of the Company are subject to a wide range of business risks and uncertainties and there is no assurance that these statements and forecasts will be met. Factors that could affect the Company's business include, but are not limited to: the risks associated with drilling and completion of oil and natural gas wells; the Company's ability to find, acquire, market, develop, and produce new reserves; the risk of drilling dry holes; oil, liquids and natural gas price volatility; derivative transactions (including the costs associated therewith and the abilities of counterparties to perform thereunder); uncertainties in the estimation of proved, probable, and possible reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and reserve growth; inaccuracies in the Company's assumptions regarding items of income and expense and the level of capital expenditures; uncertainties in the timing of exploitation expenditures; operating hazards attendant to the oil and natural gas business; cyber-attacks; drilling and completion losses that are generally not recoverable from third parties or insurance; potential mechanical failure or underperformance of significant wells; midstream and pipeline construction difficulties and operational upsets; climatic conditions; availability and cost of material, equipment and services; the risks associated with operating in a limited number of geographic areas, including the Permian; actions or inactions of third-party operators of the Company's properties; the Company's ability to retain and hire skilled personnel; diversion of management's attention from existing operations while pursuing acquisitions or dispositions; availability and cost of capital; the strength and financial resources of the Company's competitors; regulatory developments; environmental risks; uncertainties in the capital markets; general economic and business conditions; industry trends; and other factors detailed in the Company's most recent Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize (or the consequences of such a development changes), or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those forecasted. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by law.
References to quantities of oil, NGLs or natural gas may include amounts that the Company believes will ultimately be produced, but are not yet classified as "proved reserves" under SEC definitions. We use the term "net risked resource potential" to describe the Company's internal estimates of volumes of natural gas and oil that are not classified as proved developed reserves but are potentially recoverable through exploratory drilling or additional drilling or recovery techniques. Estimates of net risked resource potential are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of not being realized by the Company. Estimates of net risked resource potential may change significantly as development provides additional data, and actual quantities that are ultimately recovered may differ substantially from prior estimates.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation Disclosure - Adjusted Net Income
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
The following table reconciles net income (GAAP) to adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Adjusted net income eliminates the unrealized derivative activity from our results for all periods, the impact of ceiling test asset impairments for the three-months ended March 31, 2015, the transaction and financing costs associated with the Company's Permian Acquisition for the period indicated below, and the reserve for commercial dispute for the period indicated below, along with the related tax effect for all periods. The Company uses this information to analyze operating trends and for comparative purposes within the industry. This measure is not intended to replace net income (GAAP) but rather to provide additional information that may be helpful in evaluating the Company's operational trends and performance. Our method of computing adjusted net income may not be the same method used to compute similar measures reported by other entities.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation Disclosure – Adjusted EBITDA (In thousands)
The following table reconciles net income (GAAP) to adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the three-months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense and other similar non-cash or non-recurring charges. 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. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income or cash flows as determined by GAAP. This measure is not intended to replace operating income (GAAP) but rather to provide additional information that may be helpful in evaluating the Company's operational trends and performance. Our method of computing adjusted EBITDA may not be the same method used to compute similar measures reported by other entities.
