HOUSTON, May 04, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. CRZO today announced the Company's financial results for the first quarter of 2016 and provided an operational update, which includes the following highlights:

•           Record Oil Production of 25,806 Bbls/d, 21% above the first quarter of 2015

•           Record Total Production of 42,025 Boe/d, 21% above the first quarter of 2015

•         Loss From Continuing Operations of $311.4 million, or ($5.34) per diluted share, and Adjusted Net Income (as defined below) of $9.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share

•           Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) of $92.5 million

•           Acquired 4,000 net bolt-on acres in the Eagle Ford Shale

•           Reduced Eagle Ford well cost expectations to $4.1 million

•           Increasing 2016 crude oil production growth target to 9%

Carrizo reported a first quarter of 2016 loss from continuing operations of $311.4 million, or $5.34 per basic and diluted share compared to a loss from continuing operations of $21.5 million, or $0.46 per basic and diluted share in the first quarter of 2015. The loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2016 includes certain items typically excluded from published estimates by the investment community, including the full cost ceiling test impairment recognized this quarter. Adjusted net income, which excludes the impact of these items as described in the statements of operations included below, for the first quarter of 2016 was $9.2 million, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share compared to $6.4 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share in the first quarter of 2015.

For the first quarter of 2016, adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, as described in the statements of operations included below ("Adjusted EBITDA"), was $92.5 million, a decrease of 9% from the prior year quarter as the impact of lower commodity prices more than offset the impact of higher production volumes.

Production volumes during the first quarter of 2016 were 3,824 MBoe, or 42,025 Boe/d, an increase of 21% versus the first quarter of 2015. The year-over-year production growth was driven by strong results from the Company's Eagle Ford assets. Oil production during the first quarter of 2016 averaged 25,806 Bbls/d, an increase of 21% versus the first quarter of 2015 and 3% versus the prior quarter; natural gas and NGL production averaged 70,033 Mcf/d and 4,547 Bbls/d, respectively, during the first quarter of 2016. First quarter of 2016 production exceeded the high end of Company guidance due primarily to stronger-than-expected performance from the Company's Eagle Ford Shale assets as well as higher-than-expected non-operated production.

Drilling and completion capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2016 were $84.8 million. More than 85% of the first quarter drilling and completion spending was in the Eagle Ford Shale, with the balance weighted towards the Delaware Basin. Land and seismic expenditures during the quarter were $5.9 million. For the year, Carrizo is maintaining its drilling and completion capital expenditure guidance of $270-$290 million. However, given additional efficiencies and cost reductions realized during the first quarter, the Company has been able to increase its planned drilling activity in the Eagle Ford Shale and Delaware Basin during the year. As the Company does not currently plan to increase completion activity in 2016, the additional activity is not expected to have a material impact on 2016 production. The Company is increasing its land and seismic capital expenditure guidance to $20 million from $15 million for the year based on its outlook for continued bolt-on acquisitions. Additionally, the Company recently acquired approximately 4,000 net bolt-on acres in the Eagle Ford Shale, which was funded by the simultaneous sale of undeveloped acreage in a non-core exploration play.

Carrizo is increasing its 2016 oil production guidance to 24,800-25,300 Bbls/d from 24,700-25,300 Bbls/d previously. Using the midpoint of this range, the Company's 2016 oil production growth guidance is 9%. For natural gas and NGLs, Carrizo is increasing its 2016 guidance to 54-60 MMcf/d and 4,000-4,200 Bbls/d, respectively, from 45-60 MMcf/d and 3,700-4,000 Bbls/d. For the second quarter of 2016, Carrizo expects oil production to be 23,600-24,000 Bbls/d, and natural gas and NGL production to be 56-60 MMcf/d and 3,700-3,900 Bbls/d, respectively. The forecast sequential decline in production during the second quarter results from the planned shut-in of a significant number of wells in the Eagle Ford Shale due to offsetting completion activity coupled with a limited number of wells brought online in the prior quarter. A summary of Carrizo's production, commodity price realization, and cost guidance is provided in the attached tables.

S.P. "Chip" Johnson, IV, Carrizo's President and CEO, commented on the results, "We delivered another strong quarter operationally, with production again exceeding our forecast and operating expenses coming in below our forecast. Additionally, we remain well positioned to prudently manage the current commodity price downturn. We have a strong financial position with an excellent 2016 hedge book and ample liquidity available on our revolver. This, coupled with our deep inventory of economical drilling locations, should allow us to quickly ramp up our activity and production once we get an appropriate commodity price signal.

"Our focus on reducing costs and increasing efficiencies continues to pay off. Well cost expectations in the Eagle Ford are now down to $4.1 million from $4.6 million previously. This has allowed us to increase our activity in the Delaware Basin and Eagle Ford Shale without increasing our planned capex for the year. In the Delaware Basin, we now plan to drill two additional wells this year, with one expected to be completed during 2016. One of the new wells is an offset to our recent Liberator State 1H well that tested at a peak 24-hour rate of 1,950 Boe/d. In the Eagle Ford, we now plan to drill eight additional wells during 2016; while we do not currently plan to complete any of the additional wells during the year, we could easily increase completion activity if commodity prices continue to strengthen.

"During the quarter, we added approximately 4,000 high-quality net acres to our Eagle Ford Shale position in LaSalle County, which should increase net drilling locations in our Core acreage position by 5%-10%. The deal also highlights the creativity of our team as we were able to fund the acquisition by selling undeveloped acreage in a non-core exploration play. We continue to seek quality acquisition opportunities during the current commodity price downturn as we believe these will result in the creation of significant long-term value for our shareholders."

Operational Update

In the Eagle Ford Shale, Carrizo drilled 18 gross (17.0 net) operated wells during the first quarter and completed 14 gross (12.5 net) wells. Crude oil production from the play rose to approximately 22,800 Bbls/d for the quarter, up 2% versus the prior quarter. At the end of the quarter, Carrizo had 33 gross (31.8 net) operated Eagle Ford wells waiting on completion, equating to net crude oil production potential of more than 11,900 Bbls/d. The Company is operating two rigs in the Eagle Ford and currently expects to drill approximately 57 gross (53 net) operated wells and complete 55 gross (52 net) operated wells in the play during 2016.

Due to a combination of further efficiency gains and service cost reductions, the Company has been able to reduce well costs in the Eagle Ford Shale since year-end. Completed well costs for a 6,100 ft. lateral well are currently expected to average approximately $4.1 million, down from $4.6 million previously.

Carrizo continues to test multiple initiatives aimed at significantly increasing its Lower Eagle Ford drilling inventory, which is currently based on a combination of 330 ft. and 500 ft. spacing. The most potentially impactful of these are the Company's stagger-stack tests, which have the potential to add approximately 220-880 net locations to the Company's inventory. Carrizo currently has three pilots online that are testing effective lateral spacing ranging from 165 ft. to 280 ft., and is currently completing two additional pilots. Early results are in line with the Company's expectations and Carrizo plans to provide a detailed update on the results of these initiatives later this year.

Since year-end, Carrizo has added approximately 4,000 net acres to its position in the Eagle Ford, bringing it to approximately 88,000 net acres. The acquired acreage is contiguous to the Company's North LaSalle acreage position, where Carrizo estimates wells to have a NYMEX PV10 breakeven price of less than $35/Bbl. Carrizo estimates that the new acreage block adds approximately 45 net high-quality locations to its drilling inventory assuming 500 ft. spacing, which is the current inventory assumption for its nearby acreage, and an approximate 7,300 ft. lateral (or approximately 55 net locations if the planned lateral length was normalized to the Company's Eagle Ford average of 6,100 ft.).

In the Delaware Basin, Carrizo completed its third operated well, the Liberator State 1H, during the quarter. The well was drilled with an approximate 7,000 ft. lateral and completed with 31 frac stages. The Company produced the well for 23 days before shutting it in pending infrastructure and the full restart of a third-party operated midstream facility that had been offline due to a fire in December. While the Liberator State well was still cleaning up prior to being shut-in, it tested at a peak 24-hour rate of approximately 1,950 Boe/d (37% oil, 37% NGL, 26% gas). Carrizo operates the Liberator State 1H with a 100% working interest. The Company currently expects to drill two wells and complete three wells in the Delaware Basin during 2016.

Carrizo recently acquired an interest in two sections offsetting the Liberator State 1H well that had a near-term drilling obligation. As a result, one of the Company's incremental wells, the Corsair State 3H, is planned to be spud on the acreage later this quarter. Carrizo expects to hold a 100% working interest in the Corsair State 3H.

Due to the third-party operated midstream facility being offline, crude oil production from the Company's initial two wells in the Delaware Basin was shut-in during the first quarter. In early April, the facility had a limited restart, which allowed Carrizo to return its Mustang State 1H well to production. Production from the well resumed at similar rates to what it was producing prior to being shut-in.

In the Niobrara Formation, Carrizo did not drill or complete any operated wells during the first quarter. Crude oil production from the Niobrara was more than 2,400 Bbls/d for the quarter, up from approximately 1,900 Bbls/d in the prior quarter due to increased non-operated production. For 2016, Carrizo has allocated a small amount of capital to the Niobrara for the completion of several drilled-but-uncompleted wells in addition to continued non-operated activity.

In Appalachia, which encompasses the Company's Utica Shale and Marcellus Shale positions, Carrizo did not drill or complete any operated wells during the first quarter. Oil and condensate production from the Utica during the quarter was approximately 465 Bbls/d, roughly flat with the fourth quarter as no new operated wells were added in the play. In the dry gas window of the Marcellus, the Company's production was 36.2 MMcf/d, down from 41.6 MMcf/d in the prior quarter as the Company increased its voluntary production curtailments. Carrizo expects to vary its 2016 Marcellus production based on local market pricing. If pricing deteriorates materially from current levels, the Company would expect to increase its level of voluntary curtailments. However, if regional pricing were to materially improve, the Company could significantly ramp up its Marcellus production. Carrizo does not currently plan to drill or complete any operated wells in Appalachia during 2016.

Financial Position and Liquidity

On May 3, 2016, Carrizo's banking syndicate, led by Wells Fargo as administrative agent, completed its semi-annual borrowing base redetermination, resulting in a borrowing base of $600.0 million, down from $685.0 million previously. The reduction in the borrowing base results primarily from a bank price deck significantly below the one used in the prior redetermination. In connection with the redetermination, the Company's Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA covenant was removed, while a Secured Debt to Adjusted EBITDA covenant of no more than 2.0x and an Adjusted EBITDA to Interest Expense covenant of no less than 2.5x were added. For the first quarter, the ratios of Secured Debt to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Interest Expense were 0.1x and 4.8x, respectively. The next redetermination of the borrowing base is expected in the fall of 2016.

As of March 31, 2016, Carrizo had total debt outstanding of $1,285.0 million and cash and cash equivalents of $2.2 million. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 2.9x for the first quarter. As of April 29, 2016, Carrizo had $51.0 million drawn on the facility.

Hedging Activity

Carrizo currently has hedges in place for more than 55% of estimated crude oil production for the balance of 2016 (based on the midpoint of guidance). For the remainder of the year, the Company has hedges covering 13,750 Bbls/d of crude oil (comprised of 9,750 Bbls/d of swaps at an average price of $60.03/Bbl and 4,000 Bbls/d of collars at a weighted average floor price of $50.00/Bbl and a weighted average ceiling price of $76.50/Bbl). Additionally, Carrizo will receive $20.8 million of cash flow for the remainder of 2016 relating to prior commodity derivative transactions.

For the first half of 2017, Carrizo has swaps covering 12,000 Bbls/d of crude oil at an average fixed price of $50.13/Bbl. Additionally, Carrizo will receive $1.8 million of cash flow during the first half of 2017 relating to prior commodity derivative transactions.
