  • Production volumes were 27,596 Boe/d (21,850 Bo/d) for the first quarter, an increase of 182% compared to the first quarter of 2017 and an increase of 15% compared to the fourth quarter of 2017.
  • Net loss for the first quarter was $39.4 million, or $(0.18) per diluted common share. Eliminating certain non-cash and non-recurring items such as certain equity-based compensation, non-cash mark-to-market gains or losses on derivatives and impairment expense, adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure)(1) was $26.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share.
  • First quarter adjusted EBITDAX (a non-GAAP measure)(1) was $85.5 million, with an adjusted EBITDAX margin (a non-GAAP measure)(1) of $34.43 per Boe.
  • Capital expenditures for drilling and completion activities in the first quarter were $207.6 million, and capital expenditures for infrastructure totaled $3.7 million during the quarter. Additionally, $7.5 million was spent during the quarter to add approximately 2,500 net acres to the Company's leasehold position and to renew existing leases.
  • The Company spud 12 gross operated horizontal wells and placed on production 11 gross operated horizontal wells during the first quarter of 2018.
  • As of March 31, 2018, total leasehold position was approximately 77,700 net acres, with approximately 2,080 future well locations identified across the Company's leasehold.
  • The Company expects second quarter 2018 total production to average 31,000 to 32,000 Boe/d, representing an increase of 14% at the mid-point over first quarter 2018 production.

 

(1) Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDAX and adjusted EBITDAX margin are non-GAAP measures. Please reference the reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures at the end of this release. 

Commenting on the quarterly results, Jim Kleckner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jagged Peak said, "This was a record quarter for Jagged Peak as we brought online some of our longest lateral lengths to date. Our contiguous acreage position and high operational control allows our team to focus on long lateral development that allows for more efficient use of capital through well-level economies of scale. Further, we realized completion efficiency during the first quarter that was 13% improved over the fourth quarter of 2017. I could not be more proud of the Jagged Peak team for their focus and execution during the quarter."

Looking ahead to the remainder of 2018, Mr. Kleckner continued, "We remain committed to increasing our technical understanding of the reservoir systems by integrating 3D seismic and other data initiatives, and the first quarter represented an elevated activity level relative to the remainder of 2018 as we still plan to manage our activity in coordination with these technical data initiatives. Data acquisition and interpretation is advancing ahead of schedule, with Cochise and Whiskey River data already being integrated into our development planning and workflow. We believe this disciplined approach to development will help us generate improved well results and returns by reducing drilling cycle times, drilling longer laterals and optimizing completions. In 2018, the majority of our activity will be focused in the lower Wolfcamp A formation in Cochise and Whiskey River, and we expect to spud 40 to 45 gross operated wells and place on production 42 to 46 gross operated wells. We forecast this activity level to result in total average production of 28,000 to 31,000 Boe/d for 2018. We remain confident that our planned 2018 activity level properly balances the long-term development of our assets with a focus on generating attractive corporate-level returns, while maintaining financial discipline and a conservative leverage profile."

"Addressing the current and anticipated midstream tightness within the Permian Basin, we have 60,000 Bo/d of committed capacity on the Oryx system providing access to key regional market hubs in Crane and Midland. Further, we have basis hedges in place for approximately 66% of our anticipated 2018 oil production at a differential of less than $1 below Cushing prices. This gives us confidence in our forecasted realized pricing throughout 2018. Looking into 2019, we have 8,000 barrels per day of basis hedges in place at a differential of just over $1 less than Cushing prices. We believe our committed capacity on the Oryx gathering system, existing sales agreements and basis hedges put us in an advantaged position to ensure our barrels flow out of the basin at attractive realized prices."

Operating Update

The Company spud 12 gross operated horizontal wells, placed on production 11 gross operated horizontal wells and participated in 8 gross non-operated horizontal wells that were placed on production during the first quarter. At the end of the quarter, the Company had 8 operated horizontal wells that were in various stages of being completed, of which 6 of these wells were over 70% completed. Including these 8 wells, the Company has placed on production 9 wells so far in the second quarter. Additionally, the Company had 5 wells that were awaiting completion at the end of the quarter, compared to 4 wells at the end of the fourth quarter of 2017.

The Company has experienced several noteworthy operational improvements since the end of 2017. Completion efficiency has improved quarter-over-quarter with the first quarter of 2018 averaging 2.6 stages per crew per day, an increase of 13% compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. These efficiency improvements have continued into the second quarter, with quarter to date completion efficiency averaging 3.1 stages per crew per day. Additionally, the Company placed on production 11 gross operated wells with an average lateral length of approximately 9,300' -- a record at Jagged Peak for average lateral length completed in a quarter.

The Company has licensed state-of-the-art, high-quality 3D seismic covering its Cochise project area. Initial results have successfully identified high quality shale targets and assisted in geosteering laterals. The Company is participating in a 3D seismic survey over its Whiskey River project area. The acquisition phase was completed during March 2018, and early outputs from processing have been delivered to the Company well ahead of schedule. Further, seismic acquisition has begun in the Big Tex project area, which will result in processed data being delivered in the second half of 2018. The Company continues to add to its understanding of the reservoir system by collecting additional core, reservoir fluid and pressure data in order to validate and further refine the subsurface model. Together, these efforts are leading to an integrated understanding of optimal reservoir development that will lead to more efficient use of capital.

Financial Results

For the first quarter of 2018, the Company reported a net loss of $39.4 million, or $(0.18) per diluted common share. Net loss for the first quarter of 2017 was $465.9 million. Adjusted EBITDAX (a non-GAAP measure) for the first quarter of 2018 was $85.5 million, an increase of $56.4 million from the first quarter of 2017 and $7.2 million from the fourth quarter of 2017.

For the first quarter of 2018, the Company reported adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) of $26.4 million, compared to $10.5 million in the first quarter of 2017. Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) eliminates certain non-cash and non-recurring items such as certain equity-based compensation, non-cash mark-to-market gains or losses on derivatives and impairment expense, further adjusted for any associated changes in estimated income tax expense.

Adjusted EBITDAX and adjusted net income (loss) are non-GAAP measures. Please reference the reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures at the end of this release.

The Company's average realized sales prices for the first quarter of 2018, including settlement of realized oil hedges and gathering and processing expense ("G&P") where applicable, were $53.52 per barrel of oil, $1.73 per Mcf of natural gas and $22.17 per barrel of natural gas liquids. The total oil equivalent price for the quarter was $45.67 per Boe. Due to the adoption of ASC 606 (Revenue Recognition) as of January 1, 2018, these prices are net of $0.9 million and $1.6 million in G&P related to gas and NGLs, respectively. Excluding G&P and including settlements of realized oil hedges, the first quarter 2018 total oil equivalent price was $46.68 per Boe compared to the first quarter 2017 total equivalent price of $43.30 per Boe and the fourth quarter 2017 total equivalent price of $44.15 per Boe.

On March 21, 2018, the borrowing base and lender commitments under the Company's credit facility were increased from $425.0 million to $540.0 million. Concurrently with the borrowing base redetermination, the pricing structure of the Company's credit facility was reduced by 50 basis points to reflect favorable, current market rates. Permitted hedging levels under the Company's credit facility were increased, providing the Company with the option to hedge a greater percentage of its forecasted production. The Company had an outstanding balance on its credit facility of $265.0 million as of March 31, 2018, and, as of May 4, 2018, the Company had $320 million of outstanding borrowings against its credit facility.

On May 8, 2018, the Company closed on the private offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2026. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $489.0 million and were used to repay borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The remaining proceeds will be used to fund the Company's development program and for general corporate purposes. Upon the closing of the offering, the Company's borrowing base under its revolving credit facility is $540.0 million and the aggregate elected commitments are $475.0 million. Adjusted for the offering, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on its revolving credit facility, $227.2 million of cash and over $700.0 million of liquidity as of March 31, 2018.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for drilling and completion activities were $207.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, which represents capital spent to drill and complete 19 gross (13.4 net) wells, of which 11 gross (10.0 net) wells were drilled and completed by Jagged Peak. Additionally, a portion of the capital spent during the first quarter relates to 17 gross (16.9 net) operated wells that were in various stages of being drilled or completed at March 31, 2018. Adding in capital expenditures for infrastructure of $3.7 million and leasehold acquisition costs of $7.5 million, total capital expenditures for the quarter were $218.9 million. The Company's leasehold acquisition costs added approximately 2,500 acres to its leasehold position during the quarter, increasing the Company's leasehold position to approximately 77,700 net acres as of March 31, 2018.

2018 Operating Guidance

Jagged Peak's 2018 activity level seeks to balance the optimal long-term development of its assets while continuing to grow its production and cash flow and maintaining a strong balance sheet. The 2018 activity level will allow the Company to complete acquisition and interpretation of 3D seismic data and other data initiatives that will help to guide the Company as it optimizes the development of its substantial leasehold position and continues to efficiently deploy capital. In 2018, the Company plans to spud 40 to 45 gross operated wells and place on production 42 to 46 gross operated wells. These wells will predominantly target the lower Wolfcamp A in the Company's Cochise and Whiskey River project areas.

The Company is reaffirming the following guidance for its full year 2018 activities:

  • Total capital expenditures, excluding leasehold, of $560 to $615 million
    • $540 to $590 million budgeted for drilling and completion costs, including $5 to $10 million budgeted for 3D seismic and other data initiatives
    • $20 to $25 million for water infrastructure costs, excluding any potential additions to surface acreage
  • Total net production of 28,000 to 31,000 Boe/d, representing an increase of 74% compared to 2017 average production
    • Net oil production will represent 77% to 81% of total net production
  • LOE of $3.25 to $4.00 per Boe
  • Production and ad valorem taxes at 6.5% to 7.5% of unhedged production revenue
  • Cash general and administrative expense of $44 to $46 million

The Company expects second quarter 2018 production to range from 31,000 to 32,000 Boe/d, an increase of 14% at the mid-point compared to first quarter 2018 production. Oil production in the second quarter is expected to range from 24,500 to 25,500 Bo/d.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDAX

Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before interest expense, net of capitalized interest, depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, exploration expenses, equity-based compensation expense, income taxes and net gains or losses on derivatives less net cash from derivative settlements. 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 historical costs of depreciable assets and exploration expenses, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDAX. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDAX is useful because it allows investors 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 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 value 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.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted net income is a performance measure used by management to evaluate financial performance, prior to non-cash market-to-market gains or losses on derivatives, impairment expense, exploratory dry hole costs, gain or loss on the sale of property, certain one-time items, such as certain equity-based compensation and the associated changes in estimated income tax. Management believes adjusted net income is useful because it may enhance investors' ability to assess historical and future financial performance. Adjusted net income should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDAX Margin

Adjusted EBITDAX margin is a performance measure used by management to evaluate financial performance and profitability. The Company defines adjusted EBITDAX margin as the relevant period's adjusted EBITDAX divided by the total oil equivalent production for that same period.

(1) In connection with the IPO, management incentive units were converted to common stock. A portion of this common stock was transferred to JPE Management Holdings LLC and became subject to the terms and conditions of the amended and restated JPE Management Holdings LLC limited liability company agreement (the "Holdco Agreement"). The compensation expense related to these shares has primarily been recognized ratably as they have vested according to the terms of the Holdco Agreement. However, in February 2018, the Company incurred $71.3 million in accelerated compensation expense related to the modification of service requirements. Only compensation expense related to management incentive units allocated at the time of the IPO is excluded from the calculation of adjusted net income.



(2) Equity-based compensation expense for the first quarter 2018 includes $74.6 million related to management incentive units that converted to common stock in connection with the IPO and $1.1 million related to equity awards issued under the Company's long-term incentive plan.



(3) Adjusted EBITDAX margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDAX divided by total production, expressed as adjusted EBITDAX per Boe.
