Financial Results & Update

Profitability & Realized Pricing

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reported net income of $16.6 million, or $0.45 per basic share, and net cash provided by operating activities of $24.0 million. After adjusting for certain items, the Company's adjusted net income(1) amounted to $14.0 million, or $0.38 per basic share, adjusted operating cash flow(1) totaled $22.6 million and adjusted EBITDA(1) was $20.0 million for the quarter. The Company defines and reconciles adjusted net income, adjusted operating cash flow, adjusted EBITDA, and other non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP") measure in supporting tables at the conclusion of this press release.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Company generated approximately $39.5 million of free cash flow(1), which represents a conversion rate of approximately 77% relative to adjusted EBITDA.

Second quarter realized oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids prices, before the impact of derivatives(2), were $68.02 per Bbl, $1.31 per Mcf and $15.97 per Bbl, respectively. Realized oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids prices, before the impact of derivatives(2), for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were  $70.99 per Bbl, $2.00 per Mcf and $20.19 per Bbl, respectively.

Operating Costs

During the second quarter of 2023, lease operating expense ("LOE") was $8.8 million or $5.53 per Boe, a decrease versus the prior quarter primarily due to a reduction in utility costs and lower workover expenses. Despite market driven inflationary pressures and higher production costs associated with more producing wells from the Company's well reactivation and development programs, LOE for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 was kept relatively consistent, compared to the same period in 2022.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, general and administrative expense ("G&A") was $2.5 million, or $1.55 per Boe. Adjusted G&A(1) was  $1.9 million, or $1.21 per Boe.

Liquidity and Capital Structure

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $224.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, diversified across multiple financial institutions. The Company has no outstanding term or revolving debt obligations.

Dividend Program

On May 12, 2023, SandRidge announced a one-time cash dividend of $2.00 per share that was paid on June 7, 2023. At that time, the Company also announced plans for an on-going quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share, first payable in August 2023, subject to quarterly approval by the Board of Directors. On August 1, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a $0.10 per share cash dividend payable on August 28, 2023 to shareholders of record on August 14, 2023.

Working Interest Acquisition

On July 11, 2023, closed an acquisition which increased the Company's working interest in twenty-six wells operated by SandRidge within the Northwest Stack play for approximately $11.3 million, with an effective date of April 1, 2023. Average net production associated with the acquired interests for the first quarter of 2023 was approximately 500 barrels of oil equivalent per day (~30% oil). The low decline profile and oilier content associated with these properties and interests will further strengthen the Company's commodity price realizations, operating margins and cash flow.

Operational Results & Update

Production

Production totaled 1,593 MBoe (17.5 MBoed, 18% oil, 54% natural gas and 28% NGLs) for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 1,620 MBoe (17.8 MBoed, 13% oil, 54% natural gas and 33% NGLs) for the three months ended June 30, 2022. SandRidge's recent capital development program has helped to sustain production levels, while increasing oil content as a percentage of total production.

Development Program

During the second quarter, SandRidge completed two wells targeting the Meramec formation in the core of the Northwest Stack play as part of its previously announced capital development program, concluding the program for the year. SandRidge will continue to monitor opportunities for future development, with its primary focus being to generate high rates of return. The higher oil content of its new Northwest Stack wells versus the Company's base production was the primary driver of SandRidge's oil production increasing by approximately 39% in the second quarter of 2023 versus the second quarter of 2022. This increases the Company's oil as a percentage of total production and enhances its commodity realizations.

Base Production Declines

During the first half of 2023, SandRidge completed ten artificial lift conversions as the Company continues to focus on high return and value-adding projects that provide benefits such as lowering forward-looking costs, enhancing or reactivating production on existing wells, and further supporting its modest decline profile. These focused efforts over recent quarters have helped lower SandRidge's expected annual base PDP decline to an average of ~8% over the next ten years. The Company continues to ensure that all projects meet high rate of return thresholds and remains capital disciplined as the commodity price landscape changes.

Outlook

SandRidge will continue to focus on growing the cash value and generation capability of its asset base in a safe, responsible and efficient manner, while exercising prudent capital allocations to projects it believes provide high rates of returns in the current commodity price outlook. These near-term projects will be focused on artificial lift conversions to more efficient and cost-effective systems, other capital-efficient workovers, and limited well reactivations, while preserving future development, and expanded well reactivations, benefited by our 99% held by production acreage position that extends the option value to initiate projects in favorable commodity price environments, to achieve high rates of return. The Company will continue to monitor forward-looking commodity prices, results, costs and other factors that could influence returns on investments, which will continue to shape its disciplined development decisions in 2023 and beyond.

SandRidge will also continue to maintain the optionality to execute on value accretive merger and acquisition opportunities that could bring synergies, leverage the Company's core competencies, complement its portfolio of assets, further utilize its approximately $1.6 billion of net operating losses ("NOLs"), or otherwise yield attractive returns for its shareholders.

Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG")

SandRidge maintains its Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") commitment, to include no routine flaring of produced natural gas and transporting approximately 97% of its produced water via pipeline instead of truck. Additionally, SandRidge maintains an emphasis on the safety and training of our workforce. We have 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:
