Hess Reports Estimated Results for the Second Quarter of 2019

Hess Corporation (NYSE: HES) today reported a net loss of $6 million, or $0.02 per common share, in the second quarter of 2019, compared with a net loss of $130 million, or $0.48 per common share, in the second quarter of 2018. On an adjusted basis, the Corporation reported a net loss of $28 million, or $0.09 per common share, in the second quarter of 2019, compared with an adjusted net loss of $56 million, or $0.23 per common share, in the prior-year quarter. The improved after-tax adjusted results reflect increased U.S. crude oil production and reduced exploration expenses, partially offset by the impact of lower realized selling prices and higher depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses.

    “Our production is now expected to come in at the upper end of our full year guidance range, while our capital and exploratory expenditures are projected to come in below our original full year guidance,” Chief Executive Officer John Hess said. “In Guyana, we have just increased the estimate of gross discovered recoverable resources for the Stabroek Block to more than 6 billion barrels of oil equivalent and continue to see multibillion barrels of additional exploration potential. Our portfolio is on track to generate industry leading cash flow growth and increasing returns to shareholders.”

    After-tax income (loss) by major operating activity was as follows:

Exploration and Production:

    E&P net income was $68 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared with net income of $31 million in the second quarter of 2018. On an adjusted basis, second quarter 2019 net income was $46 million, compared with net income of $21 million in the prior-year quarter. The Corporation’s average realized crude oil selling price, including the effect of hedging, was $60.45 per barrel in the second quarter of 2019, versus $62.65 per barrel in the prior-year quarter. The average realized natural gas liquids selling price in the second quarter of 2019 was $12.18 per barrel, versus $20.51 per barrel in the prior-year quarter, while the average realized natural gas selling price was $3.92 per mcf, compared with $4.12 per mcf in the second quarter of 2018.

    Net production, excluding Libya, was 273,000 boepd in the second quarter of 2019, up from second quarter 2018 net production of 247,000 boepd, or 234,000 boepd excluding assets sold. The higher production was primarily driven by the Bakken and the Gulf of Mexico. Libya net production was 20,000 boepd in the second quarter of 2019, compared with 18,000 boepd in the prior-year quarter.

    Excluding items affecting comparability of earnings between periods, cash operating costs, which include operating costs and expenses, production and severance taxes, and E&P general and administrative expenses, were $12.11 per boe in the second quarter, down 9 percent from $13.37 per boe in the prior-year quarter. Income tax expense is comprised primarily of taxes in Libya.

Operational Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2019:

    Bakken (Onshore U.S.): Net production from the Bakken increased 23 percent to 140,000 boepd from 114,000 boepd in the prior-year quarter, due to increased drilling activity and improved well performance. The Corporation operated six rigs in the second quarter, drilling 39 wells and bringing 39 new wells online. Full year net production for the Bakken is expected to be in the range of 140,000 boepd to 145,000 boepd, which is at the upper end of previous guidance.

    Gulf of Mexico (Offshore U.S.): Net production from the Gulf of Mexico was 65,000 boepd, compared with 47,000 boepd in the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting increased production from the Conger Field which was shut-in in the prior-year quarter due to maintenance at the third-party operated Enchilada platform and higher production at the Penn State Field. In May, the Conger Field was temporarily shut-in for unplanned maintenance at the third-party operated Enchilada platform that reduced second quarter 2019 net production by approximately 4,000 boepd.

    Guyana (Offshore): At the Stabroek Block (Hess - 30 percent), the second phase of development at the Liza Field was sanctioned by the partners following regulatory approval from the government of Guyana. Liza Phase 2 will utilize the Liza Unity FPSO, which will have the capacity to produce up to 220,000 gross bopd. Six drill centers are planned with a total of 30 wells, including 15 production wells, nine water injection wells and six gas injection wells. First oil is expected by mid-2022. The development is expected to have a gross capital cost of approximately $6 billion, including a lease capitalization cost of approximately $1.6 billion for the FPSO, and will develop approximately 600 million barrels of oil. Excluding pre-sanction and lease costs, the Corporation’s net share of development costs is forecast to be approximately $1.6 billion, of which $210 million is included in our 2019 capital and exploratory budget.

    Liza Phase 1 remains on track to achieve first oil by the first quarter of 2020. It will produce up to 120,000 gross bopd at peak rates utilizing the Liza Destiny FPSO, which is expected to arrive offshore Guyana in September 2019.

    Planning is underway for a third phase of development at the Payara Field, which is expected to produce between 180,000 and 220,000 gross bopd with first oil as early as 2023.

    Exploration and appraisal activity on the Stabroek Block in the second quarter of 2019 was as follows:

Yellowtail: The Yellowtail-1 well encountered approximately 292 feet of high-quality oil-bearing sandstone reservoir and is located approximately 6 miles northwest of the Tilapia discovery. As the fifth discovery in the greater Turbot area, it underpins another potential major development hub.

Hammerhead: The Hammerhead-2 appraisal well, located approximately 0.9 miles from the Hammerhead-1 discovery well, and the Hammerhead-3 appraisal well, located approximately 1.9 miles from Hammerhead-1, were both successfully drilled and encountered high quality, oil bearing sandstone reservoir. A successful drill stem test was also performed on Hammerhead-3. The appraisal results will be evaluated for potential future development.

    The Stena Carron drillship is currently drilling a second well at the Ranger discovery, while the Noble Bob Douglas and the Noble Tom Madden drillships are conducting drilling operations for the Liza Phase 1 development. The Noble Tom Madden is next expected to drill the Tripletail exploration well, which is in the greater Turbot area, beginning in August 2019. The operator, Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited, plans to add another drillship, the Noble Don Taylor, in the fourth quarter, bringing the number of drillships offshore Guyana to four.

Midstream:

    The Midstream segment, comprised primarily of Hess Infrastructure Partners LP, our 50/50 midstream joint venture, had net income of $35 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared with net income of $30 million in the prior-year quarter.

Corporate, Interest and Other:

    After-tax expense for Corporate, Interest and Other was $109 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared with $191 million in the second quarter of 2018. On an adjusted basis, second quarter 2018 after-tax expense was $107 million.

Capital and Exploratory Expenditures:

    E&P capital and exploratory expenditures were $664 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared with $525 million in the prior-year quarter, reflecting increased drilling in the Bakken and greater development activity in Guyana. For full year 2019, our E&P capital and exploratory expenditures are projected to be $2.8 billion, down from original guidance of $2.9 billion.

    Midstream capital expenditures were $69 million in the second quarter of 2019, down from $84 million in the prior-year quarter. Midstream investments in its 50/50 joint venture with Targa Resources were $16 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared with $17 million in the prior-year quarter.

Liquidity:

    Excluding the Midstream segment, the Corporation had cash and cash equivalents of $2.2 billion and debt and finance lease obligations totaling $5.7 billion at June 30, 2019. The Midstream segment had cash and cash equivalents of $17 million and total debt of $1,137 million at June 30, 2019. The Corporation’s debt to capitalization ratio, including finance leases, was 39.2 percent at June 30, 2019 and 38.0 percent at December 31, 2018. In April 2019, the Corporation entered into a new fully undrawn $3.5 billion revolving credit facility maturing in May 2023 that replaced the Corporation’s previous credit facility that was scheduled to mature in January 2021.

    Net cash provided by operating activities was $675 million in the second quarter of 2019, up from $425 million in the second quarter of 2018. Net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities2 was $560 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared with $463 million in the prior-year quarter. Changes in operating assets and liabilities during the second quarter of 2019 was a net inflow of $115 million due to an increase in accrued liabilities and a reduction in accounts receivable.

Non-GAAP financial measures

The Corporation has used non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release. “Adjusted net income (loss)” presented in this release is defined as reported net income (loss) attributable to Hess Corporation excluding items identified as affecting comparability of earnings between periods. “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities” presented in this release is defined as Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities excluding changes in operating assets and liabilities. Management uses adjusted net income (loss) to evaluate the Corporation’s operating performance and believes that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this measure, which excludes certain items that management believes are not directly related to ongoing operations and are not indicative of future business trends and operations. Management believes that net cash provided by (used in) operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities demonstrates the Corporation’s ability to internally fund capital expenditures, pay dividends and service debt. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income (loss) or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. A reconciliation of reported net income (loss) attributable to Hess Corporation (U.S. GAAP) to adjusted net income (loss), and a reconciliation of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (U.S. GAAP) to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities are provided in the release.
