W&T Offshore Reports Second Quarter Results
HOUSTON, Aug. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- W&T Offshore, Inc. (NYSE: WTI) today provides financial and operational results for the second quarter 2009. Some of the highlights for the second quarter 2009 include:
-- Production increased 16% to 24.8 Bcfe from 21.4 Bcfe in the first
quarter of 2009
-- Oil and natural gas liquids increased 29% to 1.9 MMbbls from 1.5 MMbbls
in the first quarter of 2009 and represented 46% of second quarter
production.
-- Adjusted EBITDA increased 42% to $79.8 million from $56.2 million in the
first quarter of 2009
-- 67% success in the drilling program, successfully drilling four out of
six wells, including one successful deep shelf development well
Tracy W. Krohn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "As a result of the continuing strength in oil prices, the successful cost reduction efforts put in place by the Company, increased production due to our drilling program and pipelines returning to production post Hurricane Ike, the Company returned to profitability in June. I am extremely optimistic that our cash flows from operations will be increasing for the remainder of the year."
"As we have now completed most of our drilling projects for the year and continue to look at our best use of capital in the second half of 2009, we will focus on building cash for strategic opportunities, including acquisitions and attractive third party projects. We believe that over the next 12 to 18 months, sellers and buyers will be increasingly more willing to complete transactions at valuations that are attractive to us," added Mr. Krohn.
Revenues, Net Income/Loss and EPS: Net loss for the second quarter of 2009 was $6.0 million, or $0.08 per common share, on revenues of $150.4 million, compared to net income for the same quarter of 2008 of $134.6 million, or $1.76 per share, on revenues of $461.0 million. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $236.7 million, or $3.14 per common share, on revenues of $267.9 million, compared to net income of $214.4 million, or $2.81 per share, on revenues of $817.5 million for the first six months of 2008. The six months ended June 30, 2009 includes a $205 million ceiling test impairment, which was recorded in the first quarter of 2009. The adjusted net loss for the six month period is $57.0 million, or $0.76 per share.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2009 reflects the impact of a $1.0 million benefit from the change in fair value of our interest rate swap ($0.4 million after-tax) and $2.9 million loss from extinguishment of debt ($1.1 million after-tax). Without the effect of the unrealized derivative gain and loss from extinguishment of debt, net loss for the second quarter of 2009 would have been $5.3 million, or $0.07 per common share. Net income for the second quarter of 2008 included an unrealized derivative loss of $10.2 million ($6.7 million after-tax). Without the effect of the unrealized derivative loss, net income for the second quarter of 2008 would have been $141.3 million, or $1.86 per diluted share. See "Non-GAAP Information" later in this press release. The net loss in the second quarter is principally due to a lower average realized price of $6.06 per thousand cubic feet equivalent ("Mcfe"), versus $14.89 per Mcfe (unhedged) in 2008, decreased sales volumes for oil and natural gas related to the deferral of production caused by Hurricanes Gustav and Ike, and natural reservoir declines.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities and Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures and are hereinafter defined in "Non-GAAP Information" later in this press release. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased 94% to $17.2 million from $305.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease was mainly a result of lower realized prices and lower volumes. Second quarter 2009 Adjusted EBITDA was $79.8 million compared to $374.1 million during second quarter 2008, or a 79% decrease. Adjusted EBITDA was $130.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $653.3 million for the comparable period of 2008.
Production and Prices: We sold 13.4 billion cubic feet ("Bcf") of natural gas at an average realized price of $3.89 per thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") in the second quarter of 2009. We also sold 1.9 million barrels ("MMBbls") of oil and natural gas liquids at an average realized price of $51.61 per barrel ("Bbl") during the same period. For the second quarter of 2008, we sold 17.0 Bcf of natural gas at an average realized price of $11.53 per Mcf and 2.3 MMBbls of oil and natural gas liquids at an average realized price of $113.74 per Bbl. On a natural gas equivalent ("Bcfe") basis, we sold 24.8 Bcfe at an average realized price of $6.06 per Mcfe in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 31.0 Bcfe sold at an average realized price of $14.89 per Mcfe in the second quarter of 2008.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, our natural gas production totaled 25.9 Bcf and was sold at an average realized price of $4.47 per Mcf while our oil and natural gas liquids production totaled 3.4 MMBbls, which was sold at an average realized price of $44.93 per Bbl. On a combined, basis our production was 46.2 Bcfe sold at an average realized price of $5.79 per Mcfe. For the comparable 2008 period, we produced 34.7 Bcf of natural gas that was sold at an average realized price of $10.09 per Mcf and 4.5 MMBbls of oil and natural gas liquids production sold at an average realized price of $103.46 per Bbl. On a combined, basis our production was 61.8 Bcfe sold at an average realized price of $13.23 per Mcfe.
Lease Operating Expenses: On a nominal basis, LOE for the second quarter of 2009 decreased to $54.1 million, or $2.18 per Mcfe, from $54.3 million, or $1.75 per Mcfe, in the second quarter of 2008. Included in lease operating expenses for the second quarter of 2009 are $5.0 million of hurricane remediation costs related to Hurricanes Ike and Gustav that were either not yet approved by our insurance underwriters or were not covered by insurance. Lease operating expenses will be offset in future periods to the extent these costs are recovered under our insurance policy. LOE on a per Mcfe basis increased primarily due to lower volumes associated with deferred production due to Hurricanes Ike and Gustav and natural reservoir declines.
On a nominal basis, LOE for the six months ended June 30, 2009 remained flat at $104.3 million, or $2.26 per Mcfe, compared to $104.2 million, or $1.69 per Mcfe for the same period in 2008. LOE for the first six months included $15.2 million in hurricane remediation costs. Excluding this, LOE was lower in the 2009 period due to a decrease in base lease operating expenses, fewer workovers and lower facilities expenses.
Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion: DD&A decreased to $84.6 million, or $3.41 per Mcfe, in the second quarter of 2009 from $153.8 million, or $4.97 per Mcfe, in the second quarter of 2008. DD&A decreased primarily as a result of a lower depreciable base (due to impairment charges at December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009 of $1.2 billion and $205 million, respectively), lower production volumes compared to 2008 due in part to the sale of certain assets resulting in a net reduction in our asset retirement obligations. DD&A for the six months ended 2009 was $176.1 million, or $3.81 per Mcfe, compared to DD&A of $299.3 million, or $4.85 per Mcfe, for the same period in 2008.
Liquidity: Our cash balance at June 30, 2009 was $100.7 million and we had $262.4 million of undrawn capacity under our revolving credit facility. During the second quarter we paid off our $205 million Term Loan B with a draw under our revolver. Also during the second quarter we subsequently paid off $63 million of the revolver, leaving us $142.5 million drawn under the facility at June 30, 2009, which matches the notional amount of our interest rate swap. In the second half of 2009, we expect to rebuild our cash position since the vast majority of our capital expenditures were front-end loaded for the year and only approximately $30 million still remains.
Capital Expenditures and Operations Update: For the three months ended June 30, 2009, capital expenditures for oil and natural gas properties of $111.3 million included $44.4 million for exploration activities, $56.0 million for development activities and $10.9 million for seismic, capitalized interest and other leasehold costs. Our development and exploration capital expenditures consisted of $14.0 million in the deepwater, $0.2 million on the deep shelf and $86.2 million on the conventional shelf and other projects.
For the first six months of 2009, our capital expenditures for oil and natural gas properties were $239.7 million, including $80.2 million for exploration activities, $144.2 million for development activities and $15.3 million for seismic, capitalized interest and other leasehold costs. Our development and exploration capital expenditures consisted of $30.8 million in the deepwater, $0.3 million on the deep shelf and $193.3 million on the conventional shelf and other projects. Cash from operating activities and cash on hand financed our capital expenditures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.
Drilling Highlights: In the second quarter of 2009, the Company drilled or participated in the drilling of six wells. Of these, five were exploratory shelf wells and one was a deep shelf development well.

(2) Earnings per share data for the three and six months ended June 30,
2008 has been calculated and restated retrospectively in accordance
with FSP 03-6-1, which resulted in a decrease of $0.01 from each of
the amounts previously reported as basic and diluted earnings per
common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. The
adoption of FSP 03-6-1 did not have an effect on our basic loss per

Non-GAAP Information
Certain financial information included in our financial results are not measures of financial performance recognized by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are "Adjusted Net Income," "EBITDA," and "Adjusted EBITDA." Our management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of our performance. These disclosures may not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures, which may be reported by other companies.
Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income
"Adjusted Net Income" does not include the unrealized derivative (gain) loss, the impairment of oil and natural gas properties, loss on extinguishment of debt, and associated tax effects. Adjusted Net Income is presented because the timing and amount of the derivative items cannot be reasonably estimated and affect the comparability of operating results from period to period, and current periods to prior periods.

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA
We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus income tax expense (benefit), net interest expense, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion and impairment of oil and natural gas properties. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the loss on extinguishment of debt and the unrealized gain or loss related to our derivative contracts. Although not prescribed under generally accepted accounting principles, we believe the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information regarding our ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures and help our investors understand our operating performance and make it easier to compare our results with those of other companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income, as an indication of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures reported by other companies. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent funds available for discretionary use.
The following table presents a reconciliation of our consolidated net income to consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
