Chad L. Stephens, President and CEO, commented, "PHX Minerals continues to deliver positive Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow, servicing our dividend and lowering our debt by $2.0 million from last quarter, despite the significant commodity headwinds. With 0.32 net wells converted to production this quarter, the highest since the quarter ended March 31, 2023, it demonstrates the acreage quality through our asset acquisition strategy. The number of rigs operating on the Company's acreage and its surrounding area increased since our last update, even during the current challenging pricing environment with reduced drilling activities industry-wide, further validates our methodical strategy of acquiring acreage ahead of the drill-bits.

"In addition to the LNG export demand I have previously mentioned," continued Mr. Stephens, "artificial intelligence/data center related power demand is an emerging driver for the natural gas markets going forward. With our strong financial position and a proven business strategy, we expect to continue to unlock stockholder value as we navigate through the current commodity cycle."

Quarter Ended March 31, 2024 Results

The Company recorded net loss of ($0.2) million, or ($0.01) per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, as compared to net income of $9.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The change in net income was principally the result of decreased natural gas, oil and NGL sales, decreased gains associated with our derivative contracts and decreased gains on asset sales, partially offset by decreased income tax provision.

Natural gas, oil and NGL revenue decreased $4.8 million, or 40%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023, due to decreases in natural gas and NGL prices of 41% and 15%, respectively, and decreases in natural gas, oil and NGL volumes of 13%, 31% and 3%, respectively.

The decrease in royalty production volumes during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023, resulted from fewer new wells being brought online in the Haynesville Shale due to low gas prices. The production decrease in working interest volumes during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023, resulted from the divestiture of working interest properties.

The Company had a net gain on derivative contracts of $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, comprised of a $1.7 million gain on settled derivatives and a ($1.0) million non-cash loss on derivatives, as compared to a net gain of $3.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The change in net gain on derivative contracts was due to the Company's settlements of natural gas and oil collars and fixed price swaps and the change in valuation caused by the difference in March 31, 2024 pricing relative to the strike price on open derivative contracts.

Operations Update

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company converted 85 gross (0.32 net) wells to producing status, including 29 gross (0.10 net) wells in the Haynesville and 27 gross (0.13 net) wells in the SCOOP, compared to 117 gross (0.46 net) wells in the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

At March 31, 2024, the Company had a total of 230 gross (1.099 net) wells in progress and permits across its mineral positions, compared to 263 gross (1.295 net) wells in progress and permits at Dec. 31, 2023. As of April 30, 2024, 15 rigs were operating on the Company's acreage and 62 rigs operating within 2.5 miles of its acreage.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

This press release includes certain "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including Regulation G. These non-GAAP financial measures are calculated using GAAP amounts in the Company's financial statements. These measures, detailed below, are provided in addition to, not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes thereto), included in the Company's SEC filings and posted on its website.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation 

The Company defines "adjusted EBITDA" as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, excluding non-cash gains (losses) on derivatives and gains (losses) on asset sales and including cash receipts from (payments on) off-market derivatives and restricted stock and deferred directors' expense. The Company has included a presentation of adjusted EBITDA because it recognizes that certain investors consider this amount to be a useful means of measuring the Company's ability to meet its debt service obligations and evaluating its financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow from operations or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA for the quarters indicated:

Debt to Adjusted EBITDA (TTM) Reconciliation 

"Debt to adjusted EBITDA (TTM)" is defined as the ratio of long-term debt to adjusted EBITDA on a trailing 12-month (TTM) basis. The Company has included a presentation of debt to adjusted EBITDA (TTM) because it recognizes that certain investors consider such ratios to be a useful means of measuring the Company's ability to meet its debt service obligations and for evaluating its financial performance. The debt to adjusted EBITDA (TTM) ratio has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow from operations or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of debt to adjusted EBITDA (TTM) may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA on a TTM basis and of the resulting debt to adjusted EBITDA (TTM) ratio:
