Chief Executive Officer and President, David M. Wood, commented, “During these unprecedented times, our focus is on the health and safety of our employees while continuing to execute on our 2020 capital budget we laid out in February. We remain committed to exercising capital discipline, maximizing cash flow generation, reducing costs and ensuring strong liquidity through the remainder of 2020.”

Mr. Wood continued, “Our continued focus on increasing efficiencies and reducing costs led to solid progress during the first quarter of 2020. As planned, Gulfport’s 2020 capital program is heavily weighted to the first half of 2020 and as a result, we are well positioned to generate positive free cash flow during the second half of the year.”

Continued Debt Reduction

As of May 1, 2020, the Company had repurchased $73.3 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes for $22.8 million in cash during 2020. Since initiating the debt repurchase program in mid-2019, Gulfport had repurchased $263.4 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes for $161.6 million cash representing a total discount capture of $101.8 million and an annual cash interest reduction of approximately $11 million.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Gulfport completed its spring borrowing base redetermination effective May 1, 2020 and the borrowing base was redetermined at $700 million. Pro forma for the revised borrowing base, the Company’s liquidity at May 1, 2020 totaled approximately $269.0 million, comprised of the $700 million borrowing base plus approximately $3.8 million in cash on hand less $326.8 million outstanding letters of credit and $108.0 million of revolver draw as of May 1, 2020.

The revised $700 million borrowing base provides adequate liquidity to finance the Company’s projected 2020 capital plan.

Production and Realized Prices

Gulfport’s net daily production for the first quarter of 2020 averaged approximately 1,054 MMcfe per day. For the first quarter of 2020, Gulfport’s net daily production mix was comprised of approximately 90% natural gas, 7% natural gas liquids (“NGL”) and 3% oil.

Utica Shale

In the Utica Shale, during the first quarter of 2020, Gulfport spud 7 gross and net operated wells. The wells drilled during this period had an average lateral length of approximately 10,200 feet. Normalizing to an 8,000 foot lateral length, Gulfport’s average drilling days from spud to rig release totaled approximately 17.7 days, an improvement of 11% from the 2019 average and the best average quarter to date the Company has experienced in the play. In addition, Gulfport turned-to-sales 3 gross (3.0 net) operated wells with an average stimulated lateral length of approximately 15,100 feet.

At present, Gulfport has one operated drilling rig running in the play and expects to continue with this level of activity through October 2020.

SCOOP

In the SCOOP, during the first quarter of 2020, Gulfport spud five gross (4.3 net) operated wells. The wells drilled during this period had an average lateral length of approximately 9,500 feet. Normalizing to a 7,500 foot lateral length, Gulfport’s average drilling days from spud to rig release totaled approximately 37.4 days, an improvement of 32% from the 2019 average and similar to the Utica Shale, the best average quarter to date the Company has experienced since entering the play. In addition, Gulfport turned-to-sales four gross (3.8 net) operated wells with an average stimulated lateral length of approximately 6,500 feet.

At present, Gulfport has one operated drilling rig running in the play and expects to continue with this level of activity for the remainder of 2020.

2020 Capital Budget and Production Guidance

Based on continued efficiencies, service cost deflation and actual results to date, Gulfport currently forecasts 2020 total capital expenditures to be at or below the low end of the previously provided range of $285 million to $310 million.

Because of the sharp decline in oil prices since early March 2020, as well as the current outlook for low oil prices throughout the second quarter of 2020, Gulfport plans to shut in a minimal amount production over the next few months, including a large number of vertical wells in the SCOOP. The Company expects these shut ins to impact its production by less than 20 MMcfe per day. Gulfport also anticipates some of its non-operated production may be negatively impacted by voluntary shut-ins due to low prices. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic creates risks of delays in new drilling and completion activities that could negatively impact Gulfport, its non-operated partners or its service providers. Finally, Gulfport is actively exploring opportunities to potentially defer near-term production to later periods in 2020 or early 2021 when gas prices are materially higher in an effort to maximize returns and cash flow. Considering all of these factors, Gulfport’s previously provided production guidance for full year 2020 should no longer be relied upon.

Gulfport reaffirms its previously provided 2020 forecasted realizations and projected operating costs guidance.

Derivatives

Gulfport regularly hedges a portion of its expected production to lock in prices and returns that provide certainty of cash flow to execute on its capital plans. The table below details the Company’s hedging positions as of May 7, 2020:

Explanation and Reconciliation of 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 loss (gain), rig terminations fees, gain on debt extinguishment, non-recurring general and administrative expenses 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 and inclusive of capitalized expenses incurred during the given period. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as cash flow from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities (as defined above) less capital expenditures incurred. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to pre-tax net (loss) income less non-cash derivative loss (gain), impairment of oil and gas properties, rig terminations fees, gain on debt extinguishment, non-recurring general and administrative expenses and (income) loss from equity method investments. The Company has presented EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, cash flow from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities and free cash flow 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, cash flow from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities and free cash flow 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 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, cash flow from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities and free cash flow 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.
