Amplify's Q2 results highlight solid operational performance across its diverse asset base. The Beta field's A50 well success is particularly noteworthy, showcasing the untapped potential in their offshore California assets. The decision to participate in non-operated wells in East Texas and Eagle Ford demonstrates a balanced approach to portfolio management.
The company's focus on the Beta electrification project aligns with industry trends towards emissions reduction. This proactive stance on environmental compliance could enhance Amplify's long-term sustainability and market perception.
The ongoing evaluation of Bairoil asset monetization options indicates a strategic review of the portfolio. This could lead to a more focused asset base or additional capital for high-return projects, potentially improving overall company performance.
Amplify's Q2 performance and updated guidance present a positive outlook for investors. The company's ability to generate free cash flow consistently (16 out of 17 quarters) is a strong selling point in the current market environment where investors prioritize capital discipline.
The success at Beta and participation in non-operated wells demonstrate a balanced growth strategy, potentially appealing to both value and growth-oriented investors. The company's low leverage (1.2x Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA) provides financial flexibility for future opportunities or shareholder returns.
Investors should monitor the Bairoil asset monetization process, as a successful transaction could be a catalyst for stock appreciation. The market may also react positively to continued strong well results from Beta, potentially leading to a re-rating of Amplify's stock if the development program continues to exceed expectations.

Martyn Willsher, Amplify’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Amplify again delivered strong operating and financial results for the second quarter, while also continuing the tremendous progress on our key strategic initiatives. At Beta, we successfully drilled and completed the A50 well on time and under budget. The 30-day peak IP rate of 730 barrels of oil per day exceeded our expectations, and based on early results and current commodity prices, we anticipate the A50 will pay out in approximately four months. The performance of the A50 is a testament to the team’s exceptional planning and execution, which we intend to capitalize on for our future development wells. We are scheduled to drill two wells in the third quarter on the Eureka platform before returning to the Ellen platform later this year. We believe a successful development program at Beta has the potential to materially increase cash flows and improve the long-term value of the asset.”
Mr. Willsher further stated, “We continue to evaluate proposals and options regarding the monetization of our Wyoming assets. While we are encouraged by the interest received to date, the Company is committed to pursuing the path it believes will maximize shareholder value.”
Mr. Willsher concluded, “As I have indicated previously, I am confident that the initiatives Amplify is actively pursuing this year can be transformative for the Company. The progress we have made through the first half of 2024 has reinforced our confidence in our ability to execute on these initiatives and drive increased shareholder value.”

Adjusted EBITDA. Amplify defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus Interest expense; Income tax expense (benefit); DD&A; Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets (including oil and natural gas properties); Accretion of AROs; Loss or (gain) on commodity derivative instruments; Cash settlements received or (paid) on expired commodity derivative instruments; Amortization of gain associated with terminated commodity derivatives; Losses or (gains) on sale of assets and other, net; Share-based compensation expenses; Exploration costs; Acquisition and divestiture related expenses; Reorganization items, net; Severance payments; and Other non-routine items that we deem appropriate. Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by management and external users of Amplify’s financial statements, such as investors, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (1) its operating performance as compared to other companies in Amplify’s industry without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis; (2) the ability of its assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest and support Amplify’s indebtedness; and (3) the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. Since Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies, the Adjusted EBITDA data presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA are net income and net cash provided by operating activities.
Free cash flow. Amplify defines free cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash interest expense and capital expenditures. Free cash flow is an important non-GAAP financial measure for Amplify’s investors since it serves as an indicator of the Company’s success in providing a cash return on investment. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to free cash flow are net income and net cash provided by operating activities.
Net debt. Amplify defines net debt as the total principal amount drawn on the revolving credit facility less cash and cash equivalents. The Company uses net debt as a measure of financial position and believes this measure provides useful additional information to investors to evaluate the Company's capital structure and financial leverage.
Cash G&A. Amplify defines cash G&A as general and administrative expense, less share-based compensation expense; acquisition and divestiture costs; bad debt expense; and severance payments. Cash G&A is an important non-GAAP financial measure for Amplify’s investors since it allows for analysis of G&A spend without regard to share-based compensation and other non-recurring expenses which can vary substantially from company to company. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to cash G&A is total G&A expenses.
