Rosehill Resources Inc. Reports First Quarter 2019 Results
HOUSTON, May 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rosehill Resources Inc. (“Rosehill” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ROSE, ROSEW, ROSEU) today reported financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
First Quarter 2019 Highlights and Recent Items:
Strong average net production of 21,478 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“BOEPD”) (70% oil and 85% total liquids), an increase of 75% compared to the first quarter of 2018, without the benefit of any new wells turned online until late March
Early Southern Delaware success with six wells placed onto production with electric submersible pumps (“ESPs”) in April with average peak rates achieved over a 24 hour period (“IP24”) of 1,152 BOEPD, or 252 BOEPD per 1,000 feet, and 91% oil providing strong support for broad commerciality of our acreage position
Improved efficiencies in Southern Delaware from reducing drilling times to 14.7 days per well in the first quarter, down 31% from full-year 2018; also reduced most recent one-mile Southern Delaware well cost to approximately $6.9 million per well compared to $8.0 million per well for initial wells drilled in 2018
Enhanced liquidity position to $120 million at March 31, 2019 pro-forma for the sale of our New Mexico assets that closed in early April
Reported net loss attributable to Rosehill of $38.0 million, or $2.75 per share, for the first quarter of 2019, which included a $103.5 million non-cash, pre-tax loss on commodity derivative instruments
Delivered Adjusted EBITDAX (a non-GAAP measure defined and reconciled below) of $46.5 million, an increase of 33% over the first quarter of 2018
Management Comments
David French, Rosehill’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “It has been a smooth transition into the seat following Gary Hanna’s leadership as interim CEO. The technical and operational teams are excited about the potential of our Delaware acreage, and our 2019 year to date results support that optimism. Even though we did not place any new wells online until late March, we nearly maintained overall production levels from the prior quarter. Our development activity in 2019 will be weighted toward the first half of the year, and we expect our production levels to begin increasing late in the second quarter as volumes ramp up from wells brought online.”
“We are excited to announce early results from our latest wells in the Southern Delaware area that are improved over our initial delineation wells in late 2018. With IP24 rates from 938 to 1,428 barrels of oil equivalent per day, liquids content around 90 percent, and well costs averaging below $7 million, we are set up for an ongoing development program. We recently drilled our first two-mile lateral in just 14 days which is a strong validation of the capabilities of the team.”
“Our Northern Delaware area remained active in the first quarter drilling five wells and beginning completion operations. These wells will be placed on production throughout the second quarter and we look forward to sharing results once available. In summary, we had a solid quarter operationally and expect the results of our activity to bear fruit over the course of the year. As we move through 2019, we will remain focused on improving in all areas of our business and delivering on our commitments. It is great to have joined the team.”
Operational Results
For the first quarter of 2019, the Company’s net production averaged 21,478 BOEPD, a 75% increase compared to the average for the first quarter of 2018, comprised of 14,956 barrels of oil per day, 3,300 barrels of natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) per day and 19.3 million cubic feet of gas (“MMCF”) per day. Rosehill operated two rigs, drilled eleven horizontal wells, completed six wells and had 13 drilled uncompleted wells at the end of the first quarter of 2019.
Southern Delaware - In the Southern Delaware, the Company recently placed six wells onto production. As previously indicated, the Company installed ESPs on each of these wells shortly after initial flowback in order to enhance economics and optimize each well’s production profile. These wells are currently averaging rates over a 14 day period of 871 BOEPD, or 191 BOEPD per 1,000 feet. The Company plans to provide average rates over a 30 day period once this data is available. The IP24 results from ESP installation for these six wells averaged 1,152 BOEPD, or 252 BOEPD per 1,000 feet, and are presented in the table below.

Northern Delaware - In the Northern Delaware, the Company placed on production the Z&T 20 E006 in late April targeting the 2nd Bone Spring Sand formation. The well reached an IP 7 of 1,457 BOEPD, 73% oil, or 331 BOEPD per 1,000 feet.
Based on success with the first ESP installation on a mature well in the Northern Delaware area, the Company installed an ESP in April on the Weber 26 G001 well (Lower Wolfcamp A formation) which was first placed on production in January 2017. Shortly after installation of the ESP, the well reached production of 501 BOEPD, which is more than double the rate just prior to installation, representing a significant uplift to the well’s forecasted production profile.
Financial Results
For the first quarter of 2019, the Company reported a net loss attributable to Rosehill of $38.0 million, or $2.75 per share, as compared to a net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.22 per share, in the first quarter of 2018. The first quarter of 2019 included a $103.5 million non-cash, pre-tax loss on commodity derivative instruments compared to a $18.2 million non-cash, pre-tax gain on commodity derivative instruments in the first quarter of 2018.
Adjusted EBITDAX totaled $46.5 million for the first quarter of 2019, as compared to $34.9 million in the first quarter of 2018. This increase of 33% was driven primarily by higher production and lower per unit operating expenses, more than offsetting the impact of lower commodity prices.
For the first quarter of 2019, average realized prices (all prices excluding the effects of derivatives) were $48.92 per barrel of oil, $0.85 per Mcf of natural gas and $15.26 per barrel of NGLs, resulting in a total equivalent price of $37.18 per barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”), down 26% from the first quarter of 2018.
The Company’s cash operating costs for the first quarter of 2019 were $12.55 per BOE, which includes lease operating expense (“LOE”), gathering and transportation costs, production taxes and general and administrative expenses, and excludes costs associated with stock-based compensation. First quarter cash operating costs per BOE decreased 23% as compared to first quarter of 2018, primarily attributable to increased volumes. First quarter LOE costs were adversely impacted by operational issues with a third party operated salt water disposal (“SWD”) well in the Southern Delaware area resulting in increased water handling costs. The Company expects that these increased costs will not be incurred for the remainder of the year as it now has two additional SWD wells with capacity in excess of 40,000 barrels per day for its use as well as approved permits for additional SWD wells.
Capital Expenditures and Liquidity
During the first quarter of 2019, Rosehill incurred capital costs, excluding asset retirement costs, of $72.4 million. The portion of capital costs related to facilities and other items during the first quarter of 2019 was $13.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
As previously announced, the Company’s drilling and completions activity will be heavily weighted towards the first half of the year due to increases in drilling efficiencies and timing associated with its recently announced farm-in agreement. The Company currently forecasts over two-thirds its drilling and completion capital to occur in the first half of the year and for its total capital expenditures to be approximately equal to Adjusted EBITDAX for 2019.
As of March 31, 2019, Rosehill had $5.7 million in cash on hand and $301.6 million in long-term debt. As of March 31, 2019, total liquidity was $98.7 million which included cash on hand and availability under the revolving credit facility and increases to $120 million when including the proceeds from the sale of its assets in Lea County, New Mexico that closed in early April.

Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by Rosehill’s management and external users of Rosehill’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion and impairment of oil and natural gas properties, (gains) losses on commodity derivatives excluding net cash receipts (payments) on settled commodity derivatives, gains and losses from the sale of assets, exploration costs, and other non-cash operating items. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Management believes Adjusted EBITDAX is useful because it allows for more effective evaluation and comparison of Rosehill’s operating performance and results of operations from period to period without regard to the Company’s financing methods or capital structure. Rosehill excludes the items listed above from net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within the 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 the Company’s 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. Rosehill’s computations of Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
We have provided below a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAX to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
