Michael G. Moore, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “2017 was a pivotal year for Gulfport as our Utica asset provided reliable, repeatable growth throughout the year and we began the journey of increasing recoveries and further delineating the underappreciated, multi-zone opportunities across our SCOOP position. We experienced a year of strong production growth and our reserve report for year-end 2017 truly highlights the depth and quality of Gulfport’s asset base.

We believe our 2017 development activities have enabled us to reach a size and scale, both financially and operationally, that allows us to navigate the current commodity price environment and align our business model to deliver a strong rate of growth within cash flow for 2018. In addition to our planned operational activity for 2018, we recently announced a stock repurchase program. The repurchase program underscores the confidence we have in our business model, financial performance and top-tier asset base and further demonstrates our commitment to recognizing value for our shareholders. We are eager to initiate the program and plan to be aggressive in repurchasing our shares, subject to market conditions.”

2017 Capital Expenditures

For the year ended December 31, 2017, Gulfport’s drilling and completion capital expenditures totaled $1.1 billion, midstream capital expenditures totaled $46.1 million and leasehold capital expenditures totaled $132.5 million.

2017 Financial Position and Liquidity

As of December 31, 2017, Gulfport had cash on hand of approximately $99.6 million. In addition, as of December 31, 2017, Gulfport’s revolving credit facility of $1.2 billion, with elected commitments under this facility of $1.0 billion, was undrawn and $759.0 million was available for future borrowing after giving effect to outstanding letters of credit totaling $241.0 million.


2018 Capital Budget and Production Guidance

For 2018, Gulfport estimates total capital expenditures will be in the range of $770 million to $835 million, which will be funded within cash flow at current strip pricing. The 2018 budget includes approximately $630 million to $685 million for D&C activities and approximately $140 million to $150 million for non-D&C activities, including midstream capital expenditures associated with its investment in Strike Force Midstream LLC and leasehold activities during 2018. With this level of capital spend, Gulfport forecasts its 2018 average daily net production will be in the range of 1,250 MMcfe to 1,300 MMcfe per day, an increase of 15% to 19% over its 2017 average daily net production of 1,089.2 MMcfe per day.

Utilizing current strip pricing at the various regional pricing points at which the Company sells its natural gas, Gulfport forecasts its realized natural gas price, before the effect of hedges and inclusive of the Company’s firm transportation expense, will average in the range of $0.58 to $0.72 per Mcf below NYMEX settlement prices in 2018. Gulfport expects its 2018 realized NGL price, before the effect of hedges and including transportation expense, will be approximately 45% to 50% of WTI and its 2018 realized oil price will be in the range of $3.00 to $3.50 per barrel below WTI.

In the Utica Shale, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, Gulfport spud 94 gross (88.7 net) operated wells. The wells drilled during 2017 had an average lateral length of approximately 8,150 feet. Normalizing to an 8,000 foot lateral length, Gulfport’s average drilling days during 2017 from spud to rig release totaled approximately 19.2 days, a decrease of 16% over full year 2016. In addition, Gulfport turned-to-sales 68 gross (61.1 net) operated wells with an average stimulated lateral length of approximately 7,700 feet.

Net production for the full year of 2017 from Gulfport’s Utica acreage averaged approximately 910.2 MMcfe per day, an increase of 30% over the full year of 2016.


During 2018, Gulfport has budgeted to drill approximately 36 to 40 gross (26 to 29 net) horizontal Utica wells with an average lateral length of 11,200 feet. In addition, Gulfport plans to turn-to-sales 33 to 37 gross and net horizontal Utica wells with an average lateral length of 8,000 feet.

Gulfport intends to participate in non-operated activities taking place on its acreage by other operators that plan to drill approximately 7 to 8 horizontal wells and turn-to-sales 9 to 10 horizontal wells, in each case net to Gulfport’s interest.

At present, Gulfport has three operated horizontal rigs drilling in the play and it expects to release a rig in March of 2018 as its contract expires. Gulfport plans to run, on average, approximately 2.5 operated horizontal rigs in the Utica Shale during 2018.

SCOOP

In the SCOOP, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, Gulfport spud 19 gross (15.7 net) operated wells. The wells drilled during 2017 had an average lateral length of approximately 7,200 feet. Normalizing to a 7,500 foot lateral length, Gulfport’s average drilling days during 2017 from spud to rig release totaled approximately 72.1 days. In addition, Gulfport turned-to-sales 13 gross (11.0 net) operated wells with an average stimulated lateral length of approximately 6,800 feet.

During the period February 17, 2017 (the date Gulfport completed its acquisition of the acreage) through December 31, 2017, net production from Gulfport’s SCOOP acreage averaged approximately 185.7 MMcfe per day.

During 2018, Gulfport has budgeted to drill approximately 15 to 16 gross (10 to 11 net) horizontal SCOOP wells with an average lateral length of 8,900 feet. In addition, Gulfport plans to turn-to-sales 20 to 22 gross (16 to 18 net) horizontal SCOOP wells with an average lateral length of 8,600 feet.

Gulfport intends to participate in non-operated activities taking place on its acreage by other operators that plan to drill approximately 4 to 5 horizontal wells and turn-to-sales 2 to 3 horizontal wells, in each case net to Gulfport’s interest.

At present, Gulfport has four operated horizontal rigs drilling in the play and it expects to release two rigs mid-summer 2018 as contracts expire. Gulfport plans to run, on average, approximately 3 operated horizontal rigs in the SCOOP during 2018.

Southern Louisiana

At its West Cote Blanche Bay and Hackberry fields, Gulfport performed 81 recompletions during 2017. Net production for the full year of 2017 at these fields totaled approximately 16.2 MMcfe per day.

During 2018, Gulfport plans to run one recompletion rig in these fields.

In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines, at year-end 2017, reserve calculations were based on the average first day of the month price for the prior 12 months. The prices utilized for Gulfport’s year-end 2017 reserve report were $51.34 per barrel of oil and $2.98 per MMBtu of natural gas, in each case as adjusted by lease for transportation fees and regional price differentials. Utilizing these prices, the present value of Gulfport’s total proved reserves discounted at 10% (referred to as “PV-10”) was $2.9 billion at December 31, 2017. PV-10 is a non-GAAP measure because it excludes income tax effects. Management believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure of PV-10 provides useful information to investors because it is widely used by professional analysts and sophisticated investors in evaluating oil and gas companies. PV-10 is not a measure of financial or operating performance under GAAP. PV-10 should not be considered as an alternative to the standardized measure as defined under GAAP. We have included a reconciliation of PV-10 of proved reserves to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

¹ The standardized measure represents the present value of estimated future cash inflows from proved oil and natural gas reserves, less future development, abandonment, production, and income tax expenses, discounted at 10% per annum to reflect timing of future cash flows and using the same pricing assumptions as were used to calculate PV-10. Standardized measure differs from PV-10 because standardized measure includes the effect of future income taxes.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this press release that address activities, events or developments that Gulfport expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), business strategy and measures to implement strategy, competitive strength, goals, expansion and growth of Gulfport’s business and operations, plans, market conditions, references to future success, reference to intentions as to future matters and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by Gulfport in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform with Gulfport’s expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, general economic, market, credit or business conditions that might affect the timing and amount of the repurchase program; the opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by Gulfport; Gulfport’s ability to identify, complete and integrate acquisitions of properties and businesses; competitive actions by other oil and gas companies; changes in laws or regulations; and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Gulfport. Information concerning these and other factors can be found in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this press release are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurances that the actual results or developments anticipated by Gulfport will be realized, or even if realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on Gulfport, its business or operations. Gulfport has no intention, and disclaims any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future results or otherwise.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net (loss) income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, plus interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, accretion expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization and impairment of oil and gas properties. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to EBITDA less non-cash derivative gain, acquisition expense and (income) loss from equity method investments. Cash flow from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to cash provided by operating activity before changes in operating assets and liabilities. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to pre-tax net income less non-cash derivative gain, acquisition expense, (income) loss from equity method investments and tax (benefit) expense excluding adjustments. The Company has presented EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because it uses these measures as an integral part of its internal reporting to evaluate its performance and the performance of its senior management. These measures are considered important indicators of the operational strength of the Company’s business and eliminate the uneven effect of considerable amounts of non-cash depletion, depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of certain intangible assets. A limitation of these measures, however, is that they do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the Company’s business. Management evaluates the costs of such tangible and intangible assets and the impact of related impairments through other financial measures, such as capital expenditures, investment spending and return on capital. Therefore, the Company believes that these measures provide useful information to its investors regarding its performance and overall results of operations. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and cash flow from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities are not intended to be performance measures that should be regarded as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, either net income as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and cash flow from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities are not intended to represent funds available for dividends, reinvestment or other discretionary uses, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and cash flow from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies, and may not be identical to corresponding measures used in the Company’s various agreements.
