Insights

Riley Permian's Q2 2024 results show solid financial performance and operational execution. Key highlights include:

  • Revenue of $105.4 million
  • Net income of $33.5 million ($1.59 per diluted share)
  • Adjusted EBITDAX of $73.3 million
  • Free Cash Flow of $38.3 million

The company's focus on cost savings and operational efficiencies is paying off, particularly in well costs. The 69% oil production mix and 86% liquids mix indicate a favorable product mix. The debt reduction of $20 million and equity raise of $25.4 million strengthen the balance sheet. The acquisition of 13,900 net acres in New Mexico and expansion of the power joint venture demonstrate strategic growth initiatives.

Riley Permian's Q2 2024 operational results are encouraging. The company achieved:

  • Average total production of 21.3 MBoe/d (14.7 MBbls/d oil)
  • Drilled 2 gross operated horizontal wells
  • Completed 8 gross operated horizontal wells
  • Brought 4 gross operated horizontal wells online

The company's efficient capital deployment is evident with total accrued capital expenditures of $21.4 million. The expansion of the RPC Power joint venture to build new power generation and storage assets for ERCOT is a strategic move to diversify revenue streams and capitalize on the growing energy demand in Texas. The outperformance of 2024 legacy well production relative to internal forecasts is a positive sign for future production potential.

Riley Permian's Q2 2024 results and future outlook present a mixed picture for investors. Positive aspects include:

  • Strong free cash flow generation
  • Debt reduction and improved liquidity
  • Strategic acquisitions and joint venture expansion

However, investors should note the challenges in the natural gas market, with average realized prices of $(0.61) per Mcf and $(0.10) per barrel of NGLs. The company's hedging strategy has helped mitigate some of this impact. The reaffirmed borrowing base of $375 million provides financial flexibility. The guidance for Q3 and full-year 2024 suggests steady production growth and continued focus on capital efficiency. The expanded power generation business could provide a hedge against volatile oil and gas prices in the long term.

Q3 2024 derivative positions shown include 2024 contracts, some of which have settled as of August 2, 2024.

Interest Rate Contracts

The Company entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps, in which it will receive a floating market rate equal to one-month CME Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate and will pay a fixed interest rate, to manage future interest rate exposure related to the Company's Credit Facility. In March 2024, the Company entered into a fixed-to-floating interest rate swap for the period May 2024 - December 2024, to reduce our interest rate exposure, which resulted in a gain of approximately $1 million on a notional amount of $80 million. This gain will be realized upon settlement of the contracts in 2024.
