Denbury Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial and Operational Results

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Denbury Inc. (NYSE: DEN) (“Denbury” or the “Company”) today provided its first quarter 2023 results. Supplemental materials for the quarter are also available at www.denbury.com. The Company will host a webcast to review its results tomorrow, May 4, at 11:00 a.m. Central Time (12:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on its website.

KEY 1Q HIGHLIGHTS

First quarter 2023 net cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $89 million, and adjusted cash flows from operations^(1) totaled $140 million. Net income for the quarter was $89 million, or $1.66 per diluted share, and adjusted net income^(1)(2) was $73 million, or $1.36 per diluted share. Ended the first quarter with $68 million borrowed on the Company’s bank credit facility and $672 million of financial liquidity (including cash on hand and borrowing capacity under the credit facility). Commissioned the first CO2 recycle facility at the Cedar Creek Anticline (“CCA”) Enhanced Oil Recovery (“EOR”) project in March 2023; initial EOR production expected in 2Q23. Drilled first stratigraphic test well in the Orion CO2 sequestration site in Alabama. Subsequent to quarter-end, Denbury expanded its dedicated CO2 storage portfolio with the addition of a 30,000-acre site in Texas, southwest of Houston.

(1) A non-GAAP measure. See accompanying schedules that reconcile GAAP to non-GAAP measures along with a statement indicating why the Company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information for investors.

(2) Calculated using weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 53.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

CEO Comment

Chris Kendall, the Company’s President and CEO, commented, “Denbury’s performance in the first quarter was strong, and we achieved significant milestones in both our EOR operations and CCUS businesses. At our anchor CCA EOR project, we have progressed the installation of our initial CO₂ recycle facilities, and first tertiary production from this multi-decade asset is expected in the second quarter. Production from CCA will drive volume growth and margin expansion for our Company, while also significantly increasing the production of our carbon-negative “blue” oil, a unique commodity that we believe will be highly sought after for the production of low-carbon fuels. In our CCUS business, we expanded our dedicated CO₂ sequestration portfolio with a new strategic site added in southeast Texas, and we drilled our first U.S. Gulf Coast stratigraphic test well. Negotiations with industrial customers for CO₂ transportation and storage services continue to progress, and I look forward to announcing new agreements in the coming months. I remain convinced that Denbury is uniquely positioned to provide the most certain, most reliable, and most efficient CO₂ transportation and storage system in the U.S.”

Oil & Gas Operations Highlights

First quarter 2023 sales volumes were consistent with expectations, slightly above the midpoint of the Company’s annual guidance range. As compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, higher sales volumes were mostly related to the recovery of production lost due to late 2022 severe winter storms and an increase at Tinsley primarily due to the sale of inventory built in the fourth quarter. Approximately 56% of total volumes were from the Company’s Gulf Coast assets with the remaining 44% from the Rocky Mountain region. Gulf Coast production benefited from strong sales volumes at Oyster Bayou and Soso Rodessa Phase 1. Rocky Mountain region sales volumes included continued strong CO₂ flood response at the Wind River Basin assets and recent horizontal development at CCA in the Mission Canyon reservoir. The Company’s average oil price differential in the first quarter of 2023 was $1.28 below the West Texas Intermediate average, in line with the Company’s guidance.

CO₂ revenues for the quarter of nearly $11 million were slightly below expectation as a result of third-party purchaser downtime.

Lease operating expenses in first quarter 2023 totaled $129 million, or $30.12 per barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”), and depletion, depreciation, and amortization (“DD&A”) was $42 million, or $9.80 per BOE for the quarter, both within the Company’s annual guidance range. General and administrative expenses totaled $23 million, slightly below expectation.

First quarter 2023 oil & gas development capital expenditures, excluding capitalized interest, totaled $100 million, consistent with expectation. Capital spend in the Gulf Coast region included the drilling and completion of horizontal wells in the Webster field and well conversion work for Soso Rodessa Phase 2 development. In the Rocky Mountain region, capital activities included a waterflood expansion project in the Charles formation within the Cabin Creek field of CCA, as well as the completion of two new wells in the Bell Creek field.

Cedar Creek Anticline EOR Development

Slightly more than 40% of Denbury’s first quarter 2023 oil & gas development capital was spent on the CCA EOR project, primarily focused on the construction of four CO₂ recycle facilities planned for 2023, well conversions, and completion of the Pennel CO₂ pilot well. Curtailed production averaged slightly more than 500 Bbl/d at CCA during the first quarter 2023, which is anticipated to return to production as the CO₂ recycle facilities startup.

Commissioning of the first CO₂ recycle facility was completed in March 2023, with the commissioning of a second CO₂ recycle facility currently underway. Commissioning is planned for two additional CO₂ recycle facilities in the latter part of the third quarter 2023. Associated with the startup of the first CO₂ recycle facility, the Company is anticipating initial EOR production response in second quarter 2023. As CO₂ recycle facilities are brought online and expanded, Denbury anticipates incremental EOR production from CCA to reach 2,000 Bbl/d by the end of this year and 7,500 to 12,500 Bbl/d by the end of 2024.

During first quarter 2023, the Company finalized a definitive agreement for the right to develop a dedicated CO₂ sequestration site on nearly 15,000 acres in Campbell County, Wyoming, directly underneath the Company’s Greencore CO₂ Pipeline. Denbury estimates potential CO₂ sequestration capacity of the site (named Corvus) to be 40 million metric tons. In April 2023, the Company acquired exclusive development rights over a dedicated CO₂ sequestration site southwest of Houston in Matagorda County, Texas. The approximately 30,000-acre site, known as project Dorado, is estimated to have a storage potential of more than 115 million metric tons. A 60-mile CO₂ pipeline is required to connect the site to the Company’s existing CO₂ pipeline network and would also provide access to additional markets and customers for CO₂. Including the acquisition of the Dorado site, the Company’s dedicated CO₂ sequestration portfolio now exceeds 2.1 billion metric tons of CO₂.

During first quarter 2023, Denbury executed agreements with two eFuels companies, HIF Global and Monarch Energy Development LLC, to source and transport up to 2.4 million metric tons per year of CO₂ to planned projects in southeast Texas. Also during the first quarter, the Company invested a combined $7 million into two emerging carbon capture technology companies, ION Clean Energy, an industry leader in liquid solvent technologies, and Aqualung Carbon Capture, a leader in membrane CO₂ capture and separation technology.

First quarter 2023 capital expenditures for CCUS included the drilling of a stratigraphic test well in the Orion dedicated CO₂ sequestration site in Alabama, as well as various costs for seismic licensing and acreage acquisition on both existing and new dedicated CO₂ sequestration sites. The Orion stratigraphic test well was drilled to a total depth of 11,415 feet. Initial results from the well are consistent with expectations, and the Company is analyzing the core taken during drilling operations. In late April 2023, the Company submitted an additional application to the EPA for 6 Class VI well permits for the Company’s Leo CO₂ sequestration site in Mississippi, which is directly underneath the Company’s NEJD CO₂ Pipeline.

Updated Outlook

Second quarter 2023 sales volumes are anticipated to be similar to the first quarter based on increased production associated with the commencement of the CCA EOR flood, along with new production from the Charles development wells at CCA, primarily offset by a planned Delhi facility turnaround and the timing of inventory sales at Tinsley. Associated with the startup and ramp of EOR production at CCA, the Company anticipates DD&A and LOE per BOE to increase from first quarter levels, driven by the expected recording of initial tertiary reserves at CCA and the conversion of CO₂ injection to LOE rather than capital.

Second quarter 2023 capital expenditures are anticipated to be modestly higher than the first quarter of the year, led by CCUS capital expenditures, which should increase based on CO₂ storage site acquisition and pre-development spend. Oil & gas development capital is expected to be at similar levels as the first quarter of the year.

Additional guidance details are available in the Company’s supplemental earnings materials on its website.

Denbury Inc. Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
Reconciliation of net income (loss) (GAAP measure) to adjusted net income (non-GAAP measure)
Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure provided as a supplement to present an alternative net income (loss) measure which excludes expense and income items (and their related tax effects) not directly related to the Company’s ongoing operations. Management believes that adjusted net income may be helpful to investors by eliminating the impact of noncash and/or special items not indicative of the Company’s performance from period to period, and is widely used by the investment community, while also being used by management, in evaluating the comparability of the Company’s ongoing operational results and trends. Adjusted net income should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) or any other measure reported in accordance with GAAP, but rather to provide additional information useful in evaluating the Company’s operational trends and performance.

Denbury Inc. Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
Reconciliation of net income (loss) (GAAP measure) to Adjusted EBITDAX (non-GAAP measure)
Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-GAAP measure which management uses and excludes certain items that are included in net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Items excluded include interest, income taxes, depletion, depreciation, and amortization, and items that the Company believes affect the comparability of operating results such as items whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated or are nonrecurring. Management believes Adjusted EBITDAX may be helpful to investors in order to assess the Company’s operating performance as compared to that of other companies in the industry, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical costs basis. It is also commonly used by third parties to assess leverage and the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, net income (loss), cash flow from operations, or any other measure reported in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDAX, EBITDAX or EBITDA in the same manner. The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company’s net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDAX.

Denbury Inc. Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
Reconciliation of cash flows from operations (GAAP measure) to adjusted cash flows from operations (non-GAAP measure) and free cash flow (non-GAAP measure)
Adjusted cash flows from operations is a non-GAAP measure that represents cash flows provided by operations before changes in assets and liabilities, as summarized from the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Adjusted cash flows from operations measures the cash flows earned or incurred from operating activities without regard to the collection or payment of associated receivables or payables. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that represents adjusted cash flows from operations less oil and gas development expenditures, CCUS asset capital and capitalized interest, but before acquisitions. Management believes that it is important to consider these additional measures, along with cash flows from operations, as it believes the non-GAAP measures can often be a better way to discuss changes in operating trends in its business caused by changes in sales volumes, prices, operating costs and related factors, without regard to whether the earned or incurred item was collected or paid during that period. Adjusted cash flows from operations and free cash flow are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to cash flows from operations, investing, or financing activities, nor as a liquidity measure or indicator of cash flows.
