Insights

The recent financial and operational results announced by Permian Resources are indicative of a company that has successfully navigated the challenges of the energy sector, demonstrating a significant increase in production and a decrease in operational costs. The acquisition of Earthstone, which is ahead of schedule in terms of synergy realization, is a strategic move that has placed Permian Resources as a significant player in the Delaware Basin, with a marked increase in enterprise value. The company's ability to exceed production targets while maintaining capital expenditure within budget suggests a robust operational framework and effective cost management.

From a financial perspective, the reported net cash provided by operating activities and the adjusted free cash flow are strong indicators of the company's liquidity and its ability to generate capital for future investments or shareholder returns. The increase in total return of capital, including dividends and share repurchases, reflects a shareholder-friendly capital allocation strategy that could potentially enhance investor confidence and support stock price performance. The company's low leverage, indicated by the net debt-to-LQA EBITDAX ratio of approximately 1x, positions it well for sustainable growth and resilience against market volatility.

Permian Resources' operational efficiency and cost reduction initiatives, as evidenced by the 8% decrease in controllable cash costs quarter-over-quarter, are critical in the current energy market where cost discipline can differentiate successful companies. The 2024 operational plans with a guidance of 145 to 150 MBbls/d in crude oil production and 300 to 325 MBoe/d in total production, alongside a reduced cash capital expenditure budget, reflect a strategy of lean operations aimed at maximizing free cash flow. The focus on capital efficiency and the expected 10% reduction in drilling and completions costs are particularly noteworthy, as they suggest an emphasis on technological advancements and operational optimization.

Moreover, the strategic allocation of the capital budget towards high returning inventory in New Mexico, with an emphasis on the Northern Delaware Basin, aligns with industry trends of prioritizing assets with higher returns. The company's projected growth in proved reserves, particularly the 49% increase in proved developed reserves, is a testament to the effectiveness of its portfolio optimization and development strategy.

Permian Resources' performance in the energy sector, particularly within the context of the Delaware Basin, is notable for its aggressive expansion and focus on high-return, long-dated inventory. The acquisition of Earthstone and the subsequent integration success set a precedent for how energy companies can effectively scale and enhance asset portfolios. The reported 50% reduction in downtime on legacy Earthstone's Midland Basin asset since the acquisition's close, along with improved drilling and completion efficiencies, are indicative of the company's operational prowess.

The energy sector often sees fluctuations in commodity prices and Permian Resources' ability to deliver strong results in such an environment reflects a resilient and adaptable business model. The decision to increase the quarterly base dividend by 20% demonstrates confidence in the company's financial health and a commitment to providing shareholder value. The year-end 2023 total proved reserves growth is a critical metric, as it underpins the company's future production capabilities and potential revenue streams.

Management Commentary

“In our first full year, Permian Resources had an outstanding 2023, accomplishing all our goals laid out last February. On a standalone basis, the Company delivered oil production at the high-end of our 2023 guidance range, while staying within our capex budget,” said Will Hickey, Co-CEO of Permian Resources. “During the fourth quarter, Permian Resources reported another strong quarter of production outperformance and operational improvements in the midst of closing the Earthstone acquisition. The combined team is exceeding expectations associated with the Earthstone integration and is on-track to reach key operational synergy run rates well ahead of the originally scheduled targets.”

“We are excited to announce our 2024 operational and financial plan, which combines consistent year-over-year well productivity with lower costs and other optimized key inputs to deliver even better capital efficiency than we realized in 2023,” said James Walter, Co-CEO of Permian Resources. “Most importantly, our 2024 plan allows us to maximize shareholder value by delivering industry leading per share annual growth across production, cash flow and free cash flow.”

Financial and Operational Results

Permian Resources continued the efficient development of its core Delaware Basin acreage position in the fourth quarter, delivering robust well results while successfully integrating the Earthstone acquisition. During the quarter, average daily crude oil production was 136,590 barrels of oil per day (“Bbls/d”), a 52% increase compared to the prior quarter. Fourth quarter total production averaged 285,161 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Boe/d”).

“In addition to the contribution from incoming Earthstone production, our strong fourth quarter production results were driven by better than expected well performance and minimal production downtime despite winter weather,” said Will Hickey, Co-CEO. “For the full year 2023, our operations team delivered consistent well productivity year-over-year, demonstrating the quality of our high-return, long-dated inventory.”

In the fourth quarter, the Company continued to realize drilling and completions efficiencies while incorporating legacy Earthstone rigs and fleets into its program. Total cash and accrued capital expenditures (“capex”) for the fourth quarter were $458 million and $423 million, respectively.

Realized prices for the fourth quarter were $76.61 per barrel of oil, $1.50 per Mcf of natural gas and $21.57 per barrel of natural gas liquids (“NGLs”), excluding the effects of hedges and GP&T costs.

The Company demonstrated strong cost control in the fourth quarter, with total controllable cash costs (LOE, GP&T and cash G&A) decreasing 8% quarter-over-quarter to $7.33 per Boe. Fourth quarter LOE was $4.97 per Boe, GP&T was $1.19 per Boe and cash G&A was $1.17 per Boe, representing 8%, 9% and 2% decreases compared to the prior quarter, respectively.

For the fourth quarter, Permian Resources generated net cash provided by operating activities of $846 million and adjusted free cash flow1 of $332 million (or $367 million, utilizing accrued capex), or $0.47 per adjusted basic share.

Permian Resources continues to maintain a strong financial position and low leverage profile upon closing the Earthstone acquisition. At December 31, 2023, the Company had $73 million in cash on hand and no amounts drawn under its revolving credit facility. Net debt-to-LQA EBITDAX1 at December 31, 2023 was approximately 1x.

Earthstone Integration Update

On November 1, 2023, Permian Resources closed the $4.5 billion Earthstone acquisition that was announced on August 21, 2023. The acquisition enhances Permian Resources’ position as a leading Delaware Basin independent and creates value for the combined shareholder base through significant accretion to all relevant metrics and accelerated return of capital.

Integration of Earthstone has been underway since closing, and both integration and synergy capture are ahead of schedule. Operationally, Permian Resources’ team has been making extensive progress in the field, achieving a 50% reduction in downtime on legacy Earthstone’s Midland Basin asset since close. Permian Resources was able to improve drilling and completion efficiencies during the fourth quarter by approximately 35% and 20%, respectively, compared to legacy Earthstone’s first half 2023 results. As a result of higher efficiencies and the benefits of increased scale, Permian Resources has already achieved a 12% reduction in drilling and completions (“D&C”) as compared to Earthstone’s historical well costs. Additionally, G&A synergies are on-track, with key contributors from both companies fully integrated into the organization. Permian Resources remains confident in its ability to deliver the originally announced $175 million in annual synergies and is now expecting to realize announced synergies ahead of schedule.

2024 Operational Plans and Targets

With a focus on capital returns, Permian Resources’ 2024 operational budget delivers a highly capital efficient plan that maximizes free cash flow and value for its investors. Assuming planned activity levels and current commodity prices, the Company expects its full year oil and total production to average approximately 145 to 150 MBbls/d and 300 to 325 MBoe/d, respectively. During 2024, Permian Resources expects its well productivity to remain strong year-over-year as a result of its deep inventory of primary Delaware Basin zones and methodical development philosophy.

The estimated fiscal year 2024 cash capex budget is approximately $1.9 billion to $2.1 billion, with approximately 75% allocated to drilling and completions with the remaining 25% allocated to facilities, infrastructure, capital workover and non-operated capex. Permian Resources expects to turn-in-line (“TIL”) approximately 250 gross wells, with an average working interest of approximately 75% and 8/8ths net revenue interest of approximately 79%. The Company also expects its average completed lateral length during 2024 to be approximately 9,300 feet. Importantly, the Company’s capital budget is underpinned by an approximately 10% reduction in D&C costs per foot expected when compared to 2023.

Given the recent Earthstone acquisition, the Company expects an increasing portion of its capital budget to be allocated to high returning inventory in New Mexico. During 2024, Permian Resources anticipates that approximately 70% of its operating activity will be directed towards the Northern Delaware Basin and approximately 25% towards the Southern Delaware Basin, with the remaining portion to be allocated to its Midland Basin position.

Through its continued focus on being a low-cost leader, Permian Resources anticipates total controllable cash costs of approximately $7.40 to $8.60 per Boe, consisting of $5.50 to $6.00 per Boe for LOE, $1.00 to $1.50 per Boe for GP&T and $0.90 to $1.10 per Boe for cash G&A. Notably, the mid-point represents an 11% reduction in total controllable cash costs compared to Permian Resources and Earthstone’s combined third quarter 2023 costs, demonstrating the Company’s ability to execute on its synergy targets.

Shareholder Returns

Permian Resources announced today that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a quarterly base cash dividend of $0.05 per share of Class A common stock, or $0.20 per share on an annualized basis. Additionally, based upon fourth quarter financial results, the Board has declared a quarterly variable cash dividend of $0.10 per share of Class A common stock. Combined, the base and variable dividends represent a total cash return of $0.15 per share.

  • the other factors described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and any updates to those factors set forth in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K.

We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to the development, production, gathering and sale of oil and natural gas. These risks include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility, inflation, lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services, risks relating to the Earthstone merger, environmental risks, drilling and other operating risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital, the timing of development expenditures and the other risks described in our filings with the SEC.

Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any oil and gas reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data, and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this press release occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), our earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures as described below.

Adjusted EBITDAX

Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income attributable to Class A Common Stock before net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairment and abandonment expense, non-cash gains or losses on derivatives, stock-based compensation (not cash-settled), exploration and other expenses, merger and integration expense, gain/loss from the sale of long-lived assets and non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by GAAP.

Our management believes Adjusted EBITDAX is useful as it allows them to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period and against our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. 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 costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDAX. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDAX should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAX to net income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:

Net Debt-to-LQA EBITDAX

Net debt-to-LQA EBITDAX is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define net debt as long-term debt, net, plus unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs on our senior notes minus cash and cash equivalents.

We define net debt-to-LQA EBITDAX as net debt (defined above) divided by Adjusted EBITDAX (defined and reconciled in the section above) for the three months ended December 31, 2023, on an annualized basis. We refer to this metric to show trends that investors may find useful in understanding our ability to service our debt. This metric is widely used by professional research analysts, including credit analysts, in the valuation and comparison of companies in the oil and gas exploration and production industry. The following table presents a reconciliation of net debt to long-term debt, net and the calculation of net debt-to-LQA EBITDAX for the period presented:

Adjusted Shares

Adjusted basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding (“Adjusted Basic and Diluted Shares”) are non-GAAP financial measures defined as basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding adjusted to reflect the weighted average shares of our Class C Common Stock outstanding during the period.

Our Adjusted Basic and Diluted Shares provide a comparable per share measurement when presenting results such as adjusted free cash flow and adjusted net income that include the interests of both net income attributable to Class A Common Stock and the net income attributable to our noncontrolling interest. Adjusted Basic and Diluted Shares are used in calculating several metrics that we use as supplemental financial measurements in the evaluation of our business.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted Basic and Diluted Shares to basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding, which are the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities before changes in working capital, less incurred capital expenditures and adjusted free cash flow as free cash flow before non-recurring merger and integration expense.

Our management believes free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are useful indicators of the Company’s ability to internally fund its exploration and development activities and to service or incur additional debt, without regard to the timing of settlement of either operating assets and liabilities or accounts payable related to capital expenditures. The Company believes that these measures, as so adjusted, present meaningful indicators of the Company’s actual sources and uses of capital associated with its operations conducted during the applicable period. Our computations of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as indicators of our operating performance or liquidity.

Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are not financial measures that are determined in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, the following table presents a reconciliation of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:
