  • Acquired 16.4 net future drilling locations for $22.4 million

  • Increased 2024 capital expenditure guidance to $355-$365 million, reflecting growth

Insights

Granite Ridge Resources' Q2 2024 results show mixed performance. While production increased by 7% year-over-year to 23,106 Boe/day, net income decreased to $5.1 million ($0.04 per diluted share) from $30.5 million in Q2 2023. The company's strategic acquisitions of 16.4 net future drilling locations for $22.4 million demonstrate a focus on growth, but also contribute to increased capital expenditures.

The updated 2024 guidance reflects higher total capital expenditures of $355-365 million, up from $265-285 million. This increase, primarily due to acquisitions and development costs, may pressure short-term cash flows but could potentially enhance long-term production and reserves. The maintained quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share suggests confidence in sustained cash generation, though investors should monitor the impact of increased spending on future payouts.

Granite Ridge's Q2 results highlight its strategic shift towards "Controlled Capital" projects, which could provide better control over development timing and potentially higher returns. The acquisition of 8.7 net future drilling locations post-quarter end for $25 million further emphasizes this strategy.

The company's diversified portfolio across major U.S. basins (Permian, Eagle Ford, Bakken, Haynesville, DJ) provides operational flexibility and risk mitigation. However, the sharp decline in natural gas prices ($1.98/Mcf in Q2 2024 vs. $2.90/Mcf in Q2 2023) may impact profitability, especially in gas-heavy plays like Haynesville.

The increase in operated location inventory is a positive sign for future growth, but investors should closely monitor execution risks associated with the transition from a primarily non-operated model to more operated assets.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Granite Ridge Resources Inc. (“Granite Ridge” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GRNT) today reported financial and operating results for the second quarter 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Highlights

  • Increased production by 7% to 23,106 barrels of oil equivalent (“Boe”) per day (47% oil) from the second quarter of 2023.
  • Reported net income of $5.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, and adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $17.2 million, or $0.13 adjusted earnings per diluted share.
  • Generated $68.3 million of Adjusted EBITDAX (non-GAAP).
  • Placed 62 gross (9.10 net) wells online.
  • Closed multiple transactions during the quarter adding 16.4 net future drilling locations for a total acquisition cost of $22.4 million (including $5.8 million of expected future drilling carries).
  • Paid dividend of $0.11 per share of common stock during the second quarter.
  • Ended the second quarter of 2024 with liquidity of $148.2 million.

See “Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for descriptions of the above non-GAAP measures as well as a reconciliation of these measures to the associated GAAP (as defined herein) measures.

Subsequent Events

  • Closed additional transactions acquiring 8.7 net future drilling locations for a total acquisition cost of $25 million (inclusive of $3 million of expected future drilling carries).
  • The Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share payable on September 13, 2024 to shareholders of record as of August 30, 2024. Future declarations of dividends are subject to approval by the Board of Directors.

Management Commentary

“The second quarter 2024 was workmanlike from a results standpoint, but the deal side was anything but,” commented Granite Ridge President and Chief Executive Officer Luke Brandenberg. “While our Traditional Non-Op business continued to generate high quality locations with near-term development at an attractive cost basis, it is our Controlled Capital strategy that stood out. By nearly doubling our operated location inventory and adding a Midland Basin-focused Strategic Partner, we continue to increase our capital allocation to Controlled Capital projects. Based on the success of our business model and our compelling fixed dividend that is underpinned by hedged cash flow and conservative leverage, we believe Granite Ridge is positioned to drive long-term value for shareholders.”

Granite Ridge Resources Inc.
Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company believes certain non-GAAP performance measures may provide financial statement users with additional meaningful comparisons between current results, the results of its peers and the results of prior periods. In addition, the Company believes these measures are used by analysts and others in the valuation, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry. See the reconciliations throughout this release of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures for the periods indicated.

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDAX

Adjusted EBITDAX is presented herein and reconciled from the GAAP measure of net income because of its wide acceptance by the investment community as a financial indicator.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAX as net income, before depletion and accretion expense, (gain) loss on derivatives – commodity derivatives, net cash receipts from (payments on) commodity derivatives, interest expense, (gain) loss on derivatives – common stock warrants, non-cash stock-based compensation, income tax expense, impairment of unproved properties, warrant exchange transaction costs, and loss on equity investments. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income or cash flows as determined by GAAP.

The Company’s Adjusted EBITDAX measure provides additional information that may be used to better understand the Company’s operations. Adjusted EBITDAX is one of several metrics that the Company uses as a supplemental financial measurement in the evaluation of its business and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as an indicator of operating performance. 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 historic cost of depreciable and depletable assets. Adjusted EBITDAX, as used by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDAX is a widely followed measure of operating performance and is one of many metrics used by the Company’s management team and by other users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For example, Adjusted EBITDAX can be used to assess the Company’s operating performance and return on capital in comparison to other independent exploration and production companies without regard to financial or capital structure, and to assess the financial performance of the Company’s assets and the Company without regard to capital structure or historical cost basis.

Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Operating Cash Flow Before Working Capital Changes and to Free Cash Flow

The Company provides Operating Cash Flow (“OCF”) Before Working Capital Changes, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines OCF Before Working Capital Changes as net cash provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP excluding changes in operating assets and liabilities such as: changes in cash due to changes in operating assets and liabilities, revenue receivable, other receivable, accrued expenses, prepaid and other expenses and other payables. The Company believes OCF Before Working Capital Changes is an accepted measure of an oil and natural gas company’s ability to generate cash used to fund development and acquisition activities and service debt or pay dividends.

Additionally, the Company provides Free Cash Flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as OCF Before Working Capital Changes minus development costs. The Company believes that Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as it provides measures to compare cash from operating activities and exploration and development costs across periods on a consistent basis.

These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities as indicators of operating performance.

The following tables provide a reconciliation from the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities to OCF Before Working Capital Changes and to Free Cash Flow:

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share

The Company provides Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share represent earnings and diluted earnings per share determined under GAAP without regard to certain non-cash and nonrecurring items. The Company defines Adjusted Net Income as net income as determined under GAAP excluding impairments of proved properties, (gain) loss on derivatives - commodity derivatives, net cash receipts from (payments on) commodity derivatives, gain (loss) on derivatives - common stock warrants, loss on equity investments and tax impact on above adjustments.

The Company defines Adjusted Earnings Per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted average number of diluted shares of common stock outstanding.

The Company believes these measures provide useful information to analysts and investors for analysis of its operating results on a recurring, comparable basis from period to period. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for earnings or diluted earnings per share as determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
