HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Murphy Oil Corporation (NYSE: MUR) today announced its financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, including net income attributable to Murphy of $139 million, or $0.93 net income per diluted share. Excluding discontinued operations and other items affecting comparability between periods, adjusted net income attributable to Murphy was $111 million, or $0.74 adjusted net income per diluted share.
Unless otherwise noted, the financial and operating highlights and metrics discussed in this commentary exclude noncontrolling interest (NCI).1
Highlights for the third quarter include:
- Produced 185 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBOEPD), with 88 thousand barrels of oil per day (MBOPD)
- Repurchased $194 million of stock, or 5.4 million shares, at an average price of $36.12 per share
- Initiated a two-well Vietnam exploration program, drilling the Hai Su Vang-1X exploration well in Block 15/2-17
- Maintained quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share or $1.20 per share annualized
Subsequent to the third quarter:
- Issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 6.000 percent senior notes due 2032, and used proceeds to tender an aggregate $521 million of senior notes due 2027, 2028 and 2029
- Entered into new five-year, $1.2 billion senior unsecured credit facility, representing a 50 percent increase from previous facility size
- Commenced platform construction for the Lac Da Vang field development project in Vietnam
- Announced Chief Executive Officer transition, effective January 1, 2025
“The company has gone through an incredible transformation since we first established our strategy of Delever, Execute, Explore, Return,” said Roger W. Jenkins, Chief Executive Officer. “Most recently, we improved our balance sheet by securing a highly competitive rate on our new senior notes and significantly upsizing our unsecured credit facility. Further, we continue to reward our shareholders through a long-standing dividend and ongoing meaningful share repurchases, and our exploration opportunities in Vietnam and Côte d’Ivoire provide upside to our portfolio.”
THIRD QUARTER 2024 RESULTS
The company recorded net income attributable to Murphy of $139 million, or $0.93 net income per diluted share, for the third quarter 2024. Adjusted net income, which excludes both the results of discontinued operations and certain other items that affect comparability of results between periods, was $111 million, or $0.74 adjusted net income per diluted share for the same period. Details for third quarter results and an adjusted net income reconciliation can be found in the attached schedules.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) attributable to Murphy were $378 million. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and exploration expenses (EBITDAX) attributable to Murphy were $410 million. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Murphy was $397 million. Adjusted EBITDAX attributable to Murphy was $429 million. Reconciliations for third quarter EBITDA, EBITDAX, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAX can be found in the attached schedules.
Third quarter production averaged 185 MBOEPD, which included 88 MBOPD. Onshore production was approximately 2.1 MBOEPD above guidance primarily due to stronger well performance in Tupper Montney. This partially offset 1.4 MBOEPD of unplanned downtime in the Gulf of Mexico, primarily due to temporary outages at third-party downstream facilities, and 1.7 MBOEPD of additional downtime at non-operated Terra Nova.
Accrued capital expenditures (CAPEX) for third quarter 2024 totaled $211 million, excluding NCI. Details for third quarter production and CAPEX can be found in the attached schedules.
CAPITAL ALLOCATION FRAMEWORK
Share Repurchases
During the third quarter, Murphy repurchased $194 million of stock, or 5.4 million shares, at an average price of $36.12 per share.
In the first nine months of 2024, Murphy repurchased $300 million of stock, or 8.0 million shares, at an average price of $37.46 per share. Murphy currently has $650 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization and 145.8 million shares outstanding.
Liquidity and Debt Transactions
Murphy had approximately $1.1 billion of liquidity on September 30, 2024, with no borrowings on the $800 million senior unsecured credit facility and $271 million of cash and cash equivalents, inclusive of NCI.
As of September 30, 2024, Murphy’s total debt was $1.28 billion, and consisted of long-term, fixed-rate notes with a weighted average maturity of 7.5 years and a weighted average coupon of 6.2 percent.

Proceeds were used to redeem $259 million of senior notes due 2027, $200 million of senior notes due 2028 and $62 million of senior notes due 2029, totaling $521 million. Murphy plans to call the remaining $79 million of senior notes in fourth quarter 2024 to achieve a debt-neutral transaction.
Also subsequent to the third quarter, Murphy entered into a new five-year, $1.2 billion senior unsecured credit facility, representing a 50 percent increase from the previous facility size, or $400 million of additional liquidity.
OPERATIONS SUMMARY
Onshore
In the third quarter of 2024, the onshore business produced approximately 109 MBOEPD, which included 29 percent liquids volumes.
Eagle Ford Shale – Production averaged 32 MBOEPD with 72 percent oil volumes and 86 percent liquids volumes in the third quarter. Murphy brought online five operated Tilden wells as planned, in addition to three non-operated Karnes wells and nine non-operated Tilden wells during the quarter.
Tupper Montney – During the third quarter, natural gas production averaged 429 million cubic feet per day (MMCFD), which exceeded guidance by approximately 11 MMCFD primarily due to stronger well performance.
Kaybob Duvernay – Production averaged 5 MBOEPD with 73 percent liquids volumes in the third quarter.
Offshore
Excluding NCI, in the third quarter of 2024, the offshore business produced approximately 75 MBOEPD, which included 81 percent oil.
Gulf of Mexico – Production averaged approximately 67 MBOEPD, consisting of 79 percent oil during the third quarter. As previously announced, Murphy brought online the operated Mormont #3 (Green Canyon 478) well and concluded workovers in the Neidermeyer, Dalmatian and non-operated Kodiak fields. Also during the quarter, the company spud the operated Mormont #4 (Green Canyon 478) well, and Murphy’s operating partner began water injection at the St. Malo waterflood project.
Canada – In the third quarter, production averaged 8 MBOEPD, consisting of 100 percent oil.
EXPLORATION
Gulf of Mexico – During the third quarter, Murphy drilled the Sebastian #1 (Mississippi Canyon 387) exploration well. The well encountered non-commercial hydrocarbons and has been plugged and abandoned. Approximately $12 million of the net well cost was expensed in the third quarter. Murphy holds a 26.8 percent working interest in the well.
Vietnam – Murphy as operator spud the Hai Su Vang-1X (Block 15-2/17) exploration well during the third quarter, initiating its two-well Vietnam exploration program. Murphy holds a 40 percent working interest in the well. Following this well, the company will spud the Lac Da Hong-1X (Block 15-1/05) exploration well as operator with a 40 percent working interest.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER TRANSITION
As previously announced, the Board of Directors has appointed Eric M. Hambly, Murphy’s current President and Chief Operating Officer, to succeed Roger W. Jenkins as the company's President and Chief Executive Officer, effective January 1, 2025. In addition, Mr. Hambly will become a member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Jenkins will retire from the Board on December 31, 2024. He will remain with Murphy in a non-executive role as an advisor until his retirement on December 31, 2025.
2024 CAPITAL EXPENDITURE AND PRODUCTION GUIDANCE
Murphy maintains its 2024 accrued CAPEX range of $920 million to $1.02 billion. The company is tightening its full year 2024 production range to 180 to 182 MBOEPD, consisting of approximately 50 percent oil and 55 percent liquids volumes. As previously disclosed, the company expects to be at the lower end of the production range due to operational impacts in the Gulf of Mexico and at non-operated Terra Nova.
Production for fourth quarter 2024 is estimated to be in the range of 181.5 to 189.5 MBOEPD with 94 MBOPD, or approximately 51 percent, oil volumes. This includes 1.5 MBOEPD of planned onshore downtime and 1.0 MBOEPD of planned downtime for maintenance at non-op Terra Nova. Both production and CAPEX guidance ranges exclude NCI.
“We achieved a significant milestone this year as we reached Murphy 3.0 of our capital allocation framework. This allowed us to increase our shareholder returns through additional share repurchases after previously raising our dividend in first quarter 2024. Additionally, we extended the maturity profile of our debt and enhanced our liquidity position with a 50 percent increase in our senior unsecured credit facility,” said Eric M. Hambly, President and Chief Operating Officer. “As we look to 2025, I am excited to increase shareholder returns, progress our Vietnam development project and announce exploration results – all of which we expect to accomplish while maintaining a strong balance sheet.”
Detailed guidance for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 is contained in the attached schedules.
FIXED PRICE CONTRACTS
The company employs derivative commodity instruments to manage certain risks associated with commodity price volatility and underpin capital spending associated with certain assets. During the third quarter, Murphy executed NYMEX natural gas swaps of 20 MMCFD of full-year 2025 production at an average price of $3.20 per thousand cubic feet.
Murphy also maintains fixed price forward sales contracts in Canada to mitigate volatility of AECO prices. These contracts are for physical delivery of natural gas volumes at a fixed price, with no mark-to-market income adjustments. Details for the current fixed price contracts can be found in the attached schedules.
CONFERENCE CALL AND WEBCAST SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 7, 2024

CAPITAL ALLOCATION FRAMEWORK
This news release contains references to the company’s capital allocation framework and adjusted free cash flow. As previously disclosed, Murphy now allocates capital pursuant to Murphy 3.0 of the company’s capital allocation framework, under which the company allocates a minimum of 50 percent of adjusted free cash flow to shareholder returns, primarily through buybacks. Murphy will continue to assess the appropriate shareholder return allocation under the framework, including potential dividend increases. The remainder of adjusted free cash flow will be allocated to the balance sheet as the company maintains the $1.0 billion total long-term debt goal.
Adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations before working capital change, less capital expenditures, distributions to NCI and projected payments, quarterly dividend and accretive acquisitions.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This news release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are useful tools for internal use and the investment community in evaluating Murphy Oil Corporation’s overall financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are broadly used to value and compare companies in the crude oil and natural gas industry. Not all companies define these measures in the same way. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and should therefore be considered only as supplemental to such GAAP financial measures. Please see the attached schedules for reconciliations of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measures used in this news release and the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Presented above is a reconciliation of Net income to Adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to Murphy. Adjusted net income excludes certain items that management believes affect the comparability of results between periods. Management believes this is important information to provide because it is used by management to evaluate the Company’s operational performance and trends between periods and relative to its industry competitors. Management also believes this information may be useful to investors and analysts to gain a better understanding of the Company’s financial results. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered a substitute for Net income as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The pretax and income tax impacts for adjustments in the above table are shown below by area of operation and geographical location, and exclude the share attributable to noncontrolling interests.
