EXECUTIVE COMMENT

Chris Kendall, the Company’s President and CEO, commented, “In the second quarter, Denbury maintained excellent safety performance, continued to advance our CCUS business, made significant progress on our capital development program, and delivered robust financial results. Strong oil prices have meaningfully increased our cash flow outlook and positioned us to return significant capital to our shareholders, while still investing for moderate production growth and rapidly growing our CCUS business. During June and July 2022, we repurchased $100 million of the Company’s outstanding shares, and I’m pleased that our Board recently increased our share repurchase authorization by the same amount.

“Despite inflation headwinds and the ongoing supply chain issues affecting our industry and businesses globally, our teams have executed well on our 2022 capital program, which we expect will drive increased production in the latter part of this year. The development of our major EOR project at Cedar Creek Anticline is progressing well, and we are excited about the expected production and cash flow benefit to our business beginning next year and for decades to come.

“On the CCUS front, we continue to expand what we believe is the industry’s superior CCUS platform, adding another planned CO₂ storage site in the emissions-intensive Louisiana industrial corridor. With multiple ongoing industrial customer negotiations, we remain on track to substantially exceed our 2022 goals for CO₂ offtake. Our proven track record in providing highly reliable CO₂ transportation and secure underground injection, combined with our ideally-placed infrastructure, is unmatched in the industry and positions us well for continued success and growth in CCUS.”

Total revenues and other income in the second quarter of 2022 were $482 million, a 17% increase over first quarter 2022 levels, supported by higher oil price realizations. The Company’s average oil price differential in both the Rocky Mountain and Gulf Coast regions was better than expected and strengthened significantly during the second quarter based on improved local markets for the Company’s high-quality production. Denbury’s second quarter 2022 average pre-hedge realized oil price was $108.81 per barrel (“Bbl”), which was $0.09 per Bbl above the average NYMEX WTI oil price for the period.

Denbury’s oil and natural gas sales volumes averaged 46,561 BOE/d during the second quarter of 2022, in line with expectations. Oil represented 97% of the Company’s second quarter 2022 volumes, and approximately 28% of the Company’s oil was attributable to the injection of industrial-sourced CO₂ in its EOR operations, resulting in carbon-negative or blue oil. Second quarter sales volumes were slightly lower compared to the first quarter of 2022, as the Gulf Coast volumes were impacted by compressor downtime and well repair activities, while volumes in the Rocky Mountain region increased primarily due to CO₂ flood response at Grieve, development and workover activities at Beaver Creek, as well as reduced weather downtime at CCA.

Lease operating expenses (“LOE”) in the second quarter of 2022 totaled $124 million, which included a benefit of approximately $7 million as a result of a settlement of a 2013 insurance claim related to property damage at our Delhi field. Excluding this benefit, LOE per BOE was $30.93, up from the first quarter of 2022 primarily as a result of service cost inflation, higher workover activity levels, increased power and fuel costs and increased CO₂ costs.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $19 million in the second quarter of 2022, slightly higher than the first quarter of 2022 due primarily to an increase in stock-based compensation.

On a pre-hedge basis, per barrel cash operating margins (revenues less LOE, production and ad valorem taxes, transportation and marketing expenses, and G&A and interest costs) expanded 22% in the quarter to $61.31 per BOE, excluding the insurance reimbursement item impacting LOE.

Commodity derivatives expense in the second quarter of 2022 totaled $57 million, comprised of cash payments of $128 million on hedges that settled in the quarter and a non-cash fair value gain of $71 million. The non-cash fair value gain primarily represented the expiration of hedge contracts during the second quarter of 2022. Depletion, depreciation, and amortization was $35 million, or $8.35 per BOE for the quarter, relatively consistent with the first quarter of the year.

The Company’s second quarter 2022 effective income tax rate was approximately 14%, consistent with expectations and lower than the Company’s 25% statutory rate due to a $19 million valuation allowance release during the second quarter of 2022. Current taxes totaled $3 million for the second quarter of 2022, or 12% of total income taxes.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Second quarter 2022 capital expenditures, excluding capitalized interest, totaled $89 million, with $86 million related to oil and gas development capital and $3 million related to CCUS business activities. Capital expenditures at the CCA EOR project totaled $21 million for the second quarter of 2022, including field development and infrastructure expenditures, as well as the capitalization of pre-production CO₂ injection. CO₂ injection at the CCA EOR project continues to progress well, with oil production response still expected during the second half of 2023.

Non-CCA oil and gas development capital increased 74% from the first quarter of the year with focus on expansion in existing EOR assets, including Beaver Creek, Cranfield, Heidelberg and Soso field activities.

FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND SHARE REPURCHASES

Denbury ended the second quarter 2022 with no debt and $738 million of financial liquidity (including cash on hand and borrowing capacity under the Company’s bank credit facility). The Company repurchased $29 million of its common stock during the second quarter and a total of $100 million, or 1.6 million shares (3.2% of March 2022 shares outstanding), through July 2022.

Denbury’s Board of Directors recently authorized a $100 million increase in the share repurchase program raising the total authorization to $350 million (which represents approximately 10% of Denbury’s current market capitalization). $250 million is available for repurchase under the plan. The timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by Denbury’s management at its discretion based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of Denbury’s common stock and general market conditions.

During the second quarter, the Company amended its bank credit agreement, which among other things: (i) increased the borrowing base and lender commitments from $575 million to $750 million, (ii) extended the maturity date from January 30, 2024, to May 4, 2027, and (iii) relaxed certain covenants, such as permitting the Company to implement shareholder returns and make other unlimited restricted payments and investments so long as certain leverage and availability requirements are met.

OUTLOOK

Denbury is increasing its anticipated full-year 2022 oil and gas capital expenditures to $360 million, up from the previously-guided $320 million. Approximately half of the increase is due to overall service cost inflation impacting the Company’s operations, primarily related to labor and steel costs. The remainder of the increase is associated with CCA EOR development capital, where the Company is accelerating the purchase of compression equipment and the construction of CO₂ recycle facilities to mitigate timing risks associated with ongoing supply chain disruptions and to ensure the field is ready to process the expected oil production response. The Company anticipates oil and gas capital expenditures to peak in the third quarter of the year.

Capital expenditures for the CCUS business are planned at $50 million for 2022, but could increase depending on activity levels in the second half of the year. Denbury’s current plans for 2022 include drilling one or more stratigraphic test wells in the Company’s potential CO₂ sequestration sites.

The Company’s full-year 2022 production guidance range is unchanged at between 46,000 and 49,000 BOE/d. For the third quarter, the Company anticipates sales volumes will be roughly flat compared to the second quarter of the year before increasing significantly in the fourth quarter, driven by incremental production from multiple projects in the Company’s 2022 capital program.

Updates to Denbury’s 2022 guidance can be found in the supporting materials on Denbury’s website.

DENBURY INC. SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)
Reconciliation of net income (loss) (GAAP measure) to adjusted net income (non-GAAP measure)
Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure provided as a supplement to present an alternative net income (loss) measure which excludes expense and income items (and their related tax effects) not directly related to the Company’s ongoing operations. Management believes that adjusted net income may be helpful to investors by eliminating the impact of noncash and/or special items not indicative of the Company’s performance from period to period, and is widely used by the investment community, while also being used by management, in evaluating the comparability of the Company’s ongoing operational results and trends. Adjusted net income should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) or any other measure reported in accordance with GAAP, but rather to provide additional information useful in evaluating the Company’s operational trends and performance.

(1)		Diluted net income (loss) per common share includes the impact of potentially dilutive securities including nonvested restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units and warrants.
(2)		The net change between periods of the fair market values of open commodity derivative positions, excluding the impact of settlements on commodity derivatives during the period.
(3)		Insurance reimbursements associated with a 2013 insurance claim related to property damage at Delhi Field.
(4)		Represents an accrual for a preliminarily assessed civil penalty proposed in May 2022 by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration related to the Company’s February 2020 Delta-Tinsley pipeline incident.
(5)		Represents accrued litigation expense, including $1 million recorded in other expenses and $0.4 million recorded in lease operating expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
(6)		Full cost pool ceiling test write-downs related to the Company’s oil and natural gas properties.
(7)		Expense related to the change in fair value of the contingent consideration payments related to our March 2021 Wind River Basin CO2 EOR field acquisition.
(8)		Other adjustments primarily include <$1 million write-off of trade receivables during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
(9)		Represents the impact to the per-share calculation using weighted average dilutive shares of 54.3 million and 52.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as a result of the adjustments to the Company’s net loss (GAAP measure) to derive adjusted net income (non-GAAP measure).
(10)		The estimated income tax impacts on adjustments to net income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 are computed based upon a rate of 13.8% applied to income before tax, which incorporates discrete tax adjustments primarily comprised of the $18.8 million release of the valuation allowance. The income tax adjustment for the six months ended June 30, 2022 removes the impact of the valuation allowance reversed during the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, largely due to the significant increase in worldwide oil prices, the Company determined that it was no longer appropriate to carry a valuation allowance against certain of its federal and state deferred tax assets, as we now consider it more likely than not that we will realize those deferred tax assets. Accordingly, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we reversed $18.8 million and $24.7 million of the valuation allowance, which lowered our deferred tax expense. In addition, we expect to reverse an additional $40.2 million of valuation allowance during the second half of 2022.

DENBURY INC. SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)
Reconciliation of net income (loss) (GAAP measure) to Adjusted EBITDAX (non-GAAP measure)
Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-GAAP measure which management uses and excludes certain items that are included in net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Items excluded include interest, income taxes, depletion, depreciation, and amortization, and items that the Company believes affect the comparability of operating results such as items whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated or are nonrecurring. Management believes Adjusted EBITDAX may be helpful to investors in order to assess the Company’s operating performance as compared to that of other companies in the industry, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical costs basis. It is also commonly used by third parties to assess leverage and the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, net income (loss), cash flow from operations, or any other measure reported in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDAX, EBITDAX or EBITDA in the same manner. The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company’s net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDAX.

DENBURY INC. SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)
Reconciliation of cash flows from operations (GAAP measure) to adjusted cash flows from operations (non-GAAP measure) and free cash flow (non-GAAP measure)
Adjusted cash flows from operations is a non-GAAP measure that represents cash flows provided by operations before changes in assets and liabilities, as summarized from the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Adjusted cash flows from operations measures the cash flows earned or incurred from operating activities without regard to the collection or payment of associated receivables or payables. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that represents adjusted cash flows from operations less oil and gas development expenditures, CCUS asset capital and capitalized interest, but before acquisitions. Management believes that it is important to consider these additional measures, along with cash flows from operations, as it believes the non-GAAP measures can often be a better way to discuss changes in operating trends in its business caused by changes in sales volumes, prices, operating costs and related factors, without regard to whether the earned or incurred item was collected or paid during that period. Adjusted cash flows from operations and free cash flow are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to cash flows from operations, investing, or financing activities, nor as a liquidity measure or indicator of cash flows.
