Insights

Barnwell Industries' Q3 2024 results reveal a widening net loss of $1,246,000 ($0.12 per share) compared to $717,000 ($0.07 per share) in Q3 2023. Revenue slightly decreased to $5,527,000 from $5,675,000 year-over-year. The company remains debt-free with $3,292,000 in working capital, including $4,393,000 in cash.

Key positives include a 26% reduction in production operating costs and stable oil and gas production. However, the non-cash impairment of $599,000 on oil and natural gas properties significantly impacted the bottom line. The commencement of a new drilling program in Twining could potentially boost future production and revenues.

Barnwell's strategy focuses on optimizing existing assets while exploring growth opportunities. The Twining drilling program is a positive step, with a new well expected to be operational by September 2024. This could enhance production and cash flows in the coming quarters.

The company's ability to maintain production levels without new drilling or acquisitions demonstrates the quality of its Twining assets. However, low gas prices in Texas are affecting cash flows, which is a concern. The non-cash impairment, while not affecting operations, signals potential challenges in asset valuation due to pricing volatility in the oil and gas sector.

Barnwell's focus on simplifying its business structure and reducing administrative costs is a prudent move. This strategy could free up capital for core operations like drilling in Twining and potential acquisitions, which may help achieve economies of scale and improve profitability.

The company's consideration of strategic alternatives for its Water Resources segment, including a potential sale or wind-down, indicates a shift towards core competencies. While this may result in short-term costs, it could lead to a more streamlined and focused operation in the long run, potentially improving overall financial performance and shareholder value.

Twining Drilling Program is Underway While Optimization Investments
Maintain Production and Reduce Operating Costs

HONOLULU, Aug. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barnwell Industries, Inc. (NYSE American: BRN) today reported financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024. For the quarter, the Company had revenue of $5,527,000 and a net loss of $1,246,000 or $0.12 per share. In the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reported quarterly revenue of $5,675,000 and a net loss of $717,000 or $0.07 per share. The Company remains debt free and ended the quarter with $3,292,000 in working capital, including $4,393,000 in cash and cash equivalents.

Continuing Optimization Program is Showing Positive Results

Corporate oil and gas production for the current quarter has remained level to the quarter a year ago without any new drilling activity or acquisitions. Production operating costs declined by $772,000, or 26%, from $3,006,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $2,234,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2024. This performance underscores the quality, consistency and long-term viability of Barnwell’s Twining assets.

Twining Drilling Program is Underway

In July 2024, the Company commenced drilling one 100%-owned and operated development oil well in the Twining area. The well is currently cased pending completion. The Company’s expectation is to have the well completed and on production in early September 2024.

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, but production declines are moderating.

Non-Cash Impairment

The net loss (GAAP) for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to a $599,000 non-cash impairment of our oil and natural gas properties during the quarter. This impairment was largely due to the changing backward-looking rolling average pricing used along with optimization capital expenditures for which there is insufficient operating history to assign a determinable increase in future cash flows from reserves at period-end. Additionally, the increase in our loss for the three-month period as compared to the prior year included the negative impact of $61,000 foreign currency loss recorded in the current year period as compared to a $121,000 gain in the prior year period due to the weakening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar.

Contract Drilling Segment

As previously reported, the Company continues to investigate the 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, “We continue to be pleased with the operating performance of our oil and gas assets. The impairment related to pricing does not alter our enthusiasm for the long-term potential of Twining. We are excited to bring our new Twining development well online to further improve results. We continue to work to simplify Barnwell’s businesses and reduce the corresponding administrative costs. This should free up cash for additional drilling in Twining and acquisition opportunities to increase our corporate scale and further dilute fixed costs.”
