Insights

SandRidge Energy's Q2 2024 results show a mixed financial performance. Net income decreased to $8.8 million ($0.24 per share) from $16.6 million in Q2 2023. However, the company maintains a strong cash position of $211.3 million. The declared dividend of $0.11 per share signals confidence in cash flow generation.

The acquisition of Cherokee play assets for $144 million is a significant move, potentially boosting future EBITDA and cash flow. This strategic expansion, funded by cash on hand, demonstrates financial flexibility and growth ambitions. The 85% free cash flow conversion rate is impressive, indicating efficient capital management.

While production and revenues declined year-over-year, the company's focus on cost management and high-return projects is prudent in the current commodity price environment. The stable, low-decline production base provides a solid foundation for future growth.

SandRidge's Q2 results reflect the challenging commodity price environment, particularly for natural gas. The company's strategic shift towards oilier assets through the Cherokee play acquisition is a smart move, potentially improving its product mix and profitability.

The focus on production optimization and high-return projects is important in this market. SandRidge's single-digit annual PDP decline rate over the next decade is impressive, providing stability and predictable cash flows. The company's approach to evaluating artificial lift improvements, recompletions and restimulations demonstrates a commitment to maximizing asset value.

The Joint Development Agreement for the Cherokee assets is intriguing, allowing SandRidge to leverage its partner's operational expertise while maintaining operatorship. This could accelerate learning and improve drilling efficiency. The company's cautious approach to gas-heavy assets, waiting for price improvements before resuming development, shows disciplined capital allocation.

Operating Costs

During the second quarter of 2024, lease operating expense ("LOE") was $8.7 million or $6.41 per Boe. The Company continues to focus on its operating costs and on safely maximizing the value of its asset base through prudent expenditure programs, cost management efforts, and continuous pursuit of efficiency in the field.

Production Optimization Program

The Company remains focused on optimizing its stable, low-decline production base, which has an estimated single-digit annual PDP decline rate over the next ten years. SandRidge continuously evaluates the potential for high-return projects that further enhance its asset base. Such projects include, but are not limited to, workovers, artificial lift improvements and conversions from less efficient systems, recompletions of "behind pipe" pay in vertical section of existing wells, and the restimulation of existing intervals and previously bypassed unstimulated intervals in existing wells. When evaluating these and other options, the Company ensures that all projects meet high rate of return thresholds and remains capital disciplined as the commodity price landscape changes.

Liquidity & Capital Structure

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $211.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, diversified across multiple significant, well-capitalized financial institutions. The Company has no outstanding term or revolving debt obligations.

Acquisitions

On July 29, 2024, SandRidge announced the entry into a definitive agreement to acquire certain producing assets and leasehold interests in the Cherokee play of the Western Anadarko Basin for cash consideration of $144 million, before customary purchase price adjustments. The Company also entered into a Joint Development Agreement ("JDA") governing its participation in the future development of certain of the acquired leasehold interests.

The acquisition includes 42 producing wells, 4 drilled uncompleted ("DUC") wells which may be completed in 2024 and leasehold interest in 11 drilling and spacing units ("DSUs") focused in Ellis and Roger Mills counties in Oklahoma. Upon closing, the Company will work with its joint development partner, who has a demonstrable history of successful operations in the Cherokee play, to plan and initiate a drilling campaign, potentially as early as the fourth quarter of this year. SandRidge will assume operatorship of the new wells after they are producing.

The oily PDP production and new development associated with the acquisition is projected to meaningfully increase SandRidge's EBITDA and cash flow on a pro forma basis, while maintaining its planned quarterly dividend.(1)

The acquisition effective date is July 1, 2024 and the transaction is anticipated to close during the third quarter of 2024. SandRidge expects to fund the transaction with cash on hand.

On June 13, 2024, the Company closed on a separate acquisition of producing oil and gas assets intermediately adjacent to its assets in Alfalfa, Grant, and Woods counties in Oklahoma for approximately $2 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

Outlook

SandRidge remains focused on growing the value of its asset base in a safe, responsible and efficient manner, while exercising prudent capital allocations to projects that provide high rates of returns in the current commodity price environment. These standalone projects include (1) artificial lift conversions to more efficient and cost-effective systems, (2) high-graded re-fracturing and recompletion and (3) opportunistic leasing that could bolster future development and complement the recently acquired Cherokee assets. The Company's incumbent leasehold remains approximately 99% held by production, which cost-effectively maintains its development option over a reasonable tenor. These assets have higher relative gas content for which prices are not yet at optimal levels to resume development or material reactivations. However, SandRidge will continue to monitor forward-looking commodity prices, project results, costs and other factors that could influence returns on investments over an expanded portfolio. These and other factors will continue to shape the Company's development decisions in 2024 and beyond. More information and updated guidance will be provided, subject to closing the acquisition, before the end of the third quarter.

SandRidge remains vigilant in evaluating further merger and acquisition opportunities, with consideration of its strong balance sheet and commitment to its capital return program.

Environmental, Social, & Governance ("ESG")

SandRidge maintains its Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") commitment, to include no routine flaring of produced natural gas and transporting over 95% of its produced water via pipeline instead of truck. Additionally, SandRidge maintains an emphasis on the safety and training of our workforce. The Company has personnel dedicated to the close monitoring of our safety standards and daily operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures 

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are not alternatives to GAAP measures, and you should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Below is additional disclosure regarding each of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release, including reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted Operating Cash Flow

The Company defines Adjusted operating cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities as shown in the following table. Adjusted Operating cash flow is a supplemental financial measure used by the Company's management and by securities analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies and others who follow the industry as an indicator of the Company's ability to internally fund exploration and development activities or incur new debt. The Company also uses this measure because operating cash flow relates to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements that the Company may not control and may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred. Further, Adjusted operating cash flow allows the Company to compare its operating performance and return on capital with those of other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net cash provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow

The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities plus net cash (used in) provided by investing activities less the cash flow impact of acquisitions and divestitures. Free cash flow is a supplemental financial measure used by the Company's management and by securities analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies and others who follow the industry as an indicator of the Company's ability to internally fund exploration and development activities or incur new debt. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net cash provided by operating or investing activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

The Company defines EBITDA as net income before income tax (benefit) expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization - other and depreciation and depletion - oil and natural gas. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented herein, is EBITDA excluding items that management believes affect the comparability of operating results such as items whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated or are non-recurring, as shown in the following tables.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides useful additional information used by the Company's management and by securities analysts, investors, lenders, ratings agencies and others who follow the industry for analysis of the Company's financial and operating performance on a recurring basis and the Company's ability to internally fund exploration and development activities or incur new debt. In addition, management believes that adjusted EBITDA is widely used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison and investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas industry. The Company's adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Reconciliation of Net Income Available to Common Stockholders to Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders

The Company defines adjusted net income as net income excluding items that management believes affect the comparability of operating results and are typically excluded from published estimates by the investment community, including items whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated or are non-recurring, as shown in the following tables.

Management uses the supplemental measure of adjusted net income as an indicator of the Company's operational trends and performance relative to other oil and natural gas companies and believes it is more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities analysts. Adjusted net income is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net income available to common stockholders.

Reconciliation of General and Administrative to Adjusted G&A

The Company reports and provides guidance on Adjusted G&A per Boe because it believes this measure is commonly used by management, analysts and investors as an indicator of cost management and operating efficiency on a comparable basis from period to period and to compare and make investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas industry. This non-GAAP measure allows for the analysis of general and administrative spend without regard to stock-based compensation programs and other non-recurring cash items, if any, which can vary significantly between companies. Adjusted G&A per Boe is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for general and administrative expense per Boe. Therefore, the Company's Adjusted G&A per Boe may not be comparable to other companies' similarly titled measures.

The Company defines adjusted G&A as general and administrative expense adjusted for certain non-cash stock-based compensation and other non-recurring items, if any, as shown in the following tables:
