(Source: MARKETWIRE)
Brigham Exploration Company (NASDAQ: BEXP) today announced its
financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2009.
THIRD QUARTER 2009 RESULTS
Our production for the third quarter 2009 was 5,200 barrels of oil
equivalent per day, which was above our previously established
guidance range of 4,667 to 5,167 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
Our recent highly successful drilling results in the Williston Basin
Bakken and Three Forks plays resulted in our oil volumes for the
third quarter 2009 increasing by 84% to 2,606 barrels of oil per day
relative to that in the third quarter 2008 and by 43% relative to
that in the second quarter 2009. The increase in our oil production
is the result of further advancements in our completion techniques
that we are applying in our horizontal Bakken and Three Forks wells.
Our Williston Basin production increased by 217% from that in the
third quarter 2008 to 2,138 barrels of oil equivalent per day and by
68% relative to that in the second quarter 2009. Importantly, our
high value oil production represented 50% of our total volumes for
the third quarter 2009 on a 6 to 1 conversion basis versus 31% in the
third quarter 2008 and 40% in the second quarter 2009.
Our revenues from the sale of oil and natural gas including hedge
settlements, but excluding unrealized mark-to-market hedging gains
and losses, for the third quarter 2009 were $19.0 million, which
represented a 36% decrease when compared to that in the third quarter
2008. The primary driver behind the decrease was a 48% decrease in
our average oil equivalent sales price, which reduced revenues by
$21.8 million. The decrease attributable to lower commodity prices
was partially offset by our higher production volumes, which
increased our revenues by $8.8 million, and by higher hedge
settlements, which increased our revenues by $2.4 million.
During the third quarter 2009, our average realized price for oil was
$57.45 per barrel, which includes a $2.29 per barrel loss due to the
settlement of our oil derivative contracts. This compares to an
average realized price in the third quarter 2008 of $104.38, which
includes an $8.22 per barrel loss due to the settlement of our oil
derivative contracts. Our average realized price for natural gas in
the third quarter 2009 was $3.95 per Mcf, which includes a $0.57 per
Mcf gain associated with the settlement of our natural gas derivative
contracts. This compares to an average realized price in the third
quarter 2008 of $9.44 per Mcf, which includes a $0.64 per Mcf loss
associated with the settlement of our natural gas derivative
contracts.
Our third quarter 2009 production costs, which include operating and
maintenance (O&M) expenses, expensed workovers, ad valorem taxes and
production taxes, were $10.32 per barrel of equivalent compared to
$10.78 per barrel of equivalent in the third quarter 2008. This
decrease was primarily attributable to our higher production volumes
and 3% lower O&M expenses, which were due to lower compressor rental,
saltwater disposal, and well service repair expenses. Offsetting
these items was a higher level of workovers in the third quarter
2009.
Our third quarter 2009 general and administrative (G&A) expense was
17% lower than the third quarter 2008. G&A costs decreased primarily
because of lower employee compensation expense associated with our
cost cutting measures implemented earlier in the year.
Our depletion expense for the third quarter 2009 was $7.8 million,
compared to $11.7 million in the third quarter 2008. Our lower
depletion rate decreased expense by $5.4 million while our higher
production volumes increased expense by $1.5 million. On a per unit
basis, depletion expense in the third quarter 2009 was $16.74 per
barrel of equivalent, compared to $28.24 per barrel of equivalent in
the third quarter 2008.
Our net interest expense for the third quarter 2009 was $0.8 million
higher than in the third quarter 2008. This increase was primarily
due to higher levels of debt outstanding under our Senior Credit
Facility and an increase in origination fees associated with our
recently amended Senior Credit Facility. Our weighted average debt
outstanding for the third quarter 2009 was $280.1 million, compared
to $231.4 million in the comparable period last year.
We recorded $0.3 million in deferred income taxes in the third
quarter 2009, compared to $9.3 million in the third quarter of last
year.
Our reported net income for the third quarter 2009 was $0.5 million
($0.01 per diluted share), versus $15.3 million ($0.33 per diluted
share) for the same period last year. Our after-tax earnings in the
third quarter 2009 excluding the effect of our unrealized
mark-to-market hedging gains and non-cash write-down of the carrying
value of our inventory were ($0.3) million ($0.00 per diluted share),
while our after-tax earnings in the third quarter 2008 excluding
unrealized mark-to-market hedging gains were $4.3 million ($0.09 per
diluted share). After-tax earnings excluding the above items is a
non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation of GAAP net income to after-tax
earnings excluding the above items is included in our accompanying
financial tables found later in this release.
For the third quarter 2009, we spent $16.5 million on oil and gas
capital expenditures, which represents a decrease of 67% from that in
the third quarter 2008. Oil and gas capital expenditures for the
third quarter 2009 and 2008 were:

FIRST NINE MONTHS 2009 RESULTS
Revenues from the sale of oil and natural gas including hedge
settlements, but excluding unrealized mark-to-market hedging gains and
losses, for the first nine months of 2009 were down 43% to $54.8
million when compared to that in the corresponding period last year.
Revenues decreased $65.6 million due to a 55% decrease in our average
oil equivalent price compared to that in the first nine months of
2008. Our oil production, which was 53% higher in the first nine
months 2009 versus the corresponding period last year, increased
revenues by $22.1 million while our natural gas production, which was
20% lower, reduced revenues by $11.8 million. Higher hedge
settlements increased revenues an additional $14.6 million.
Our average realized price for oil for the first nine months of 2009
was $49.62 per barrel, which includes a $0.56 per barrel gain due to
the settlement of our oil derivative contracts. This compares to an
average realized price in the first nine months of 2008 of $101.85,
which includes an $8.69 per barrel loss due to the settlement of our
oil derivative contracts. Our average realized price for natural gas
during the first nine months of 2009 was $5.62 per Mcf, which
includes a $1.86 per Mcf gain associated with the settlement of our
natural gas derivative contracts. This compares to an average
realized price in the first nine months of 2008 of $9.83 per Mcf,
which includes a $0.40 per Mcf loss due to the settlement of our
natural gas derivative contracts.
Our per unit production costs for the first nine months of 2009
increased 8% to $10.21 per barrel of equivalent compared to that in
the same period last year. O&M expense increased due to higher
compressor rental, saltwater disposal, and electricity expenses
versus that in the first nine months of 2008. Production taxes were
lower in the first nine months 2009 due to lower commodity prices.
Our G&A expense for the first nine months of 2009 was 16% lower than
that in the first nine months of last year. G&A costs decreased
primarily because of lower employee compensation expense associated
with cost cutting measures implemented earlier in the year.
Our depletion expense for the first nine months of 2009 was $23.9
million compared to $36.6 million in the first nine months of last
year. Our lower depletion rate decreased depletion expense by $12.9
million while our higher production volumes increased depletion
expense by $0.2 million. On a per unit basis, depletion expense in
the first half of 2009 was $17.63 per barrel of oil equivalent
compared to $27.11 per barrel of oil equivalent in the third quarter
2008.
Our net interest expense for the first nine months of 2009 increased
by $2.2 million from the comparable period last year. This increase
was primarily due to higher levels of outstanding debt under our
Senior Credit Facility. Our weighted average debt outstanding for
the first nine months of 2009 was $298.8 million versus $206.7
million for the comparable period last year.
We recorded $0.3 million in deferred income taxes in the first nine
months 2009, compared to $11.2 million in the first nine months of
last year.
Our reported net income (loss) for the first nine months of 2009 was
($125.5) million (($2.00) per diluted share) versus net income of
$18.3 million ($0.40 per diluted share) for the same period last year.
Our after-tax earnings (loss) in the first nine months 2009
excluding the effect of our first quarter 2009 ceiling test
write-down, unrealized mark-to-market hedging losses, and non-cash
write-down of the carrying value of our inventory were ($2.5) million
(($0.04) per diluted share) and our
after-tax earnings for the first
nine months of 2008 excluding unrealized mark-to-market hedging gains
were $17.3 million ($0.37 per diluted share). A reconciliation of the
first nine months 2009 GAAP net income to earnings without the effect
of the above items is included in our accompanying financial tables
found later in this release.
Through September 30, 2009, we spent $37.6 million on drilling
capital expenditures and $43.2 million in total oil and gas capital
expenditures. Oil and gas capital expenditures for the first nine
months of 2009 and 2008
were:

FOURTH QUARTER 2009 FORECASTS
The following forecasts and estimates for the fourth quarter 2009 are
forward-looking statements subject to the risks and uncertainties
identified in the "Forward-Looking Statements Disclosure" at the end
of this release.
We currently anticipate our fourth quarter 2009 production volumes to
average between 4,700 barrels of oil equivalent per day to 5,200
barrels of oil equivalent per day. We currently anticipate that our
oil volumes will comprise approximately 54% of our total production
volumes for the fourth quarter 2009.
For the fourth quarter 2009, lease operating expenses are projected
to be $9.24 per Boe based on the mid-point of our production
guidance. Approximately $2.10 of the aforementioned lease operating
expense relates to workovers on two of our conventional gas wells.
Production taxes are projected to be approximately 8.25 to 8.75% of
pre-hedge oil and natural gas revenues, and general and
administrative expenses are projected to be $2.55 million ($5.72 per
Boe).
MANAGEMENT COMMENTS
Gene Shepherd, Brigham's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "During
the third quarter, the outperformance of our recent Williston Basin
completions enabled us to exceed the high end of our third quarter
production guidance. Further, the growth in our high value oil
volumes, which accounted for 50% of our third quarter volumes,
resulted in our oil revenues comprising roughly 75% of our total
revenues. During the fourth quarter, the impact from our Rough Rider
drilling participation agreement is expected to dilute the production
impact from our currently completing Williston Basin wells. Looking
ahead to 2010, our oil production volumes should resume their upward
growth trend in the first quarter 2010 due to the reduced impact from
our Rough Rider drilling participation agreement and the impact from
the addition of our third operated rig."
Gene Shepherd continued, "Over the last four months, we have
completed several liquidity-enhancing initiatives that have positioned
the company to benefit from our significant Williston Basin inventory
of horizontal Bakken and Three Forks drilling locations, the current
favorable macro environment for drilling wells in the basin and our
superior operational capabilities, which have evolved to a point
where we are generating outstanding initial production rates, EURs
and returns. The most significant of these initiatives was our
October public equity offering which has set the stage for a level of
drilling acceleration in 2010 which should drive significant growth
in our Williston Basin oil volumes and 2010 year end proved
reserves."

========== ========== ========== ==========
Earnings without the effect of certain items represent net income
excluding both unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts,
our non-cash impairment change in our oil and gas properties, and our
loss on inventory valuation. Management believes that exclusion of
all of these items will help enhance comparability of operating
results between periods.
