Positive
  • Natural gas and natural gas liquids production increased 6% and 23% respectively
  • Operating costs reduced by $585,000 (6%) to $9.85M
  • New Twining well producing 107 barrels per day
  • General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.36M (20%)
  • Company remains debt-free with $4.51M cash position
Negative
  • Q4 net loss of $1.88M ($0.19 per share)
  • Full-year net loss of $5.57M ($0.56 per share)
  • Natural gas revenues declined due to lower prices
  • Non-cash impairment charges of $2.89M for the year
  • Texas cash flows adversely affected by low gas prices

Insights

The financial results paint a challenging picture with a $1.9M quarterly loss and $5.6M annual loss, despite revenue of $21.7M. The $2.9M non-cash impairment charge significantly impacted profitability, though it's worth noting this was primarily due to accounting requirements rather than operational issues. The company's debt-free status and $4.5M cash position provide some financial flexibility.

The 20% reduction in G&A expenses ($1.4M) and 6% decrease in production costs ($585K) demonstrate effective cost management. However, lower natural gas prices continue to pressure revenues despite production increases of 6% for natural gas and 23% for natural gas liquids. The new Twining well's production of 107 barrels per day provides some optimism for future revenue growth.

The operational metrics reveal a mixed performance. While production volumes increased for natural gas and NGLs, lower commodity prices offset these gains. The new Twining well's initial production rate of 107 barrels per day is promising, though modest by industry standards. The optimization program's success in reducing operating costs demonstrates good field management.

The Matterhorn Express Pipeline's commissioning could provide relief to the pricing constraints in Texas operations, potentially improving regional gas price realizations. The strategic review of the Water Resources division signals a focus on core oil and gas operations, which could improve capital allocation efficiency. However, the impairment charge, while non-cash, reflects the challenging commodity price environment facing the sector.

Success of Twining Drilling Program Continues While Optimization
Projects Maintain Production Levels and Reduce Operating Costs

HONOLULU, Dec. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barnwell Industries, Inc. (NYSE American: BRN) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended September 30, 2024. The Company had revenue of $4,268,000 and a net loss of $1,883,000 or $0.19 per share for the fourth quarter and had revenue of $21,724,000 and a net loss of $5,565,000 or $0.56 per share for the full year. The Company remains debt free and ended the fiscal year with $4,505,000 in cash and cash equivalents and $1,071,000 in working capital.

Continuing Optimization Program is Showing Positive Results

For the year ended September 30, 2024, production of natural gas and natural gas liquids increased by 6% and 23%, respectively, although natural gas revenues decreased due to lower prices. Oil production remained flat as compared to the prior year. This performance underscores the quality, consistency and long-term viability of Barnwell’s Twining and legacy assets.

Production operating costs declined by $585,000, or 6%, from $10,434,000 in the prior year to $9,849,000 in the current year. This is primarily due to the Company’s optimization program and focus on cost reduction.

Twining Drilling Program

During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company drilled one gross 100%-owned and operated development oil well in the Twining area which commenced production mid-September 2024. The well has produced on average approximately 107 barrels per day of oil in its first two months of production.

US Oil and Gas Assets

The Company’s oil and gas assets in Texas and Oklahoma continue to perform well. The Texas cash flows have been adversely affected by the low realized gas prices in the area in 2024, but the commissioning of the Matterhorn Express Pipeline increases egress from the area and is expected to improve pricing.

Non-Cash Impairment

During the three months and year ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred a non-cash impairment of our oil and natural gas properties of $609,000 and $2,885,000, respectively. The impairments incurred during the quarter and year ended September 30, 2024, were largely due to a decline in historical pricing based on the 12-month rolling average.

Reduction in General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased $1,358,000, 20%, for the year ended September 30, 2024, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to decreases in stockholder and proxy costs and professional fees in the current year period as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Contract Drilling Segment

In the coming months, the Company will move forward with appropriate strategic, business and financial alternatives for Water Resources which may include, among other things, a sale of its stock or assets, or an orderly wind-down of its operations and liquidation of equipment.

Summary and Outlook

Craig D. Hopkins, CEO, commented, “Twining continues to be the engine for our future growth. We were able to hold production steady for most of 2024 without drilling, and we are now pleased that our new development well is online and producing as expected. We continue to work to simplify Barnwell’s other businesses and reduce the corresponding administrative costs to improve our returns and increase our cash available for investment.”
