    FORT WORTH, Texas, March 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HighPeak Energy, Inc. (“HighPeak” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HPK) today announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter 2022 and reaffirmed its 2023 outlook.  

    Highlights

    • Fourth quarter 2022 sales volumes averaged 37,348 barrels of crude oil equivalent per day (“Boe/d”), an increase of approximately 42% and 151% compared with third quarter 2022 and fourth quarter 2021, respectively, consisting of approximately 85% crude oil and 94% liquids.
    • Fourth quarter 2022 exit sales volumes were approximately 39,900 Boe/d, an increase of approximately 172% year over year.
    • EBITDAX (a non-GAAP financial measure defined and reconciled below) was $220.9 million and $577.1 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, respectively.
    • The Company’s year-end 2022 proved reserves increased approximately 92% year over year to 123.0 MMBoe. The growth in reserves was the result of replacement ratios of 546% and 757% through the drill bit and drill bit including acquisitions, respectively. The Company’s year-end 2022 PV-10 reserve value (a non-GAAP financial measure detailed below) increased to approximately $3.9 billion using SEC pricing.
    • Fourth quarter 2022 lease operating expenses decreased to $6.94 per Boe, a reduction of approximately 15% quarter over quarter.
    • The Company extended the development potential of the Lower Spraberry formation into Borden County based on results from three Lower Spraberry wells that have similar production profiles to our legacy Flat Top area.
    • At December 31, 2022, the Company had an additional 65 gross (57.5 net) horizontal wells in various stages of drilling and completion that are expected to come online during the first half of 2023.

    Statement from the Chairman and CEO

    HighPeak Chairman and CEO, Jack Hightower said:

    I am proud to report HighPeak posted strong year-end 2022 results that were in line with our expectations and further substantiate our long-term strategic plan. We have one of the best margins due to our product mix as well as some of the lowest all-in cash costs among our peer group. These two factors make our BOEs some of the most profitable in the business.

    Our two contiguous blocks in the Midland Basin totaling over 112,000 acres, with oil-rich rock, further differentiates us during a depressed natural gas market. With our industry-leading margins, we are on course to reach the inflection point of free cash flow generation during the second half of 2023. Considering current inventory of 1,300 primary delineated locations and 1,200 upside locations expected to generate 14-25 years of free cash flow harvest, I am confident in our ability to optimize value for our shareholders, whether it’s through sustaining operations or implementing strategic alternatives.

    2023 Development Outlook

    The Company expects to average four to five (4-5) drilling rigs and two to three (2-3) frac crews during 2023 under its current development plan, assuming commodity prices and rates of return remain attractive. Given the dynamic nature of the global economy and the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Company is maintaining flexibility in its capital plan and will continue to evaluate drilling and completion activity on an economic basis, with future activity levels assessed monthly.

    Fourth Quarter 2022 Operational Update

    The Company’s sales volumes during the fourth quarter of 2022 averaged 37,348 Boe/d, an increase of approximately 42% compared with third quarter 2022, consisting of approximately 85% oil and 94% liquids. Fourth quarter 2022 sales volumes were sourced from approximately 161 gross (147.8 net) producing horizontal wells.

    During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company drilled 33 gross (31.8 net) operated horizontal wells utilizing six drilling rigs. The Company completed 25 gross (22.4 net) operated producing wells. At December 31, 2021, the Company had 54 gross (46.8 net) wells in various stages of completion and was also drilling 11 gross (10.7 net) wells.

    President Michael Hollis commented, “We continue to be nimble in our drilling program, making any adjustment necessary to minimize capital expenditures and reduce lease operating expenses. Fortunately, we were the original architect of the majority of our asset base which allowed us to design a blueprint for optimal efficiency and environmental stewardship from the beginning. In addition, HighPeak’s well performance in 2022 outpaced prior years, and this trajectory continues into 2023. Our oil-weighted inventory has some of the smallest parent child associated risks of all our Permian Basin peers and positions us to maximize our future capital efficiency and returns.”

    Mr. Hollis continued “The majority of our fourth quarter production volumes were sourced from about 150 gross producing horizontal wells, excluding wells in the initial flowback stage, which showcases the high productivity level of our rock. We also extended our Lower Spraberry play to the north and east of our legacy Flat Top area with very similar well results. We underwrote the Borden County acquisitions on the Wolfcamp A formation only, and now, by proving this additional zone across the acreage position, have generated significant additional shareholder value. I am so proud of the entire HighPeak organization for all their hard work. We have a tremendous amount of activity taking place, and our team continues to exceed expectations.”  

    Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results

    HighPeak reported net income of $67.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, or $0.53 per diluted share.  EBITDAX (a non-GAAP financial measure as defined and reconciled below) was $220.9 million, or $1.71 per diluted share. 

    Fourth quarter average realized prices were $84.67 per barrel of crude oil, $26.19 per barrel of NGL and $3.41 per Mcf of natural gas, resulting in an overall realized price of $75.06 per Boe, or 91% of the weighted average of NYMEX crude oil prices, excluding the effects of derivatives. HighPeak’s cash costs for the fourth quarter were $12.54 per Boe including lease operating expenses of $6.94 per Boe, production and ad valorem taxes of $3.67 per Boe and cash G&A expenses of $1.93 per Boe. The Company’s unhedged cash margin was $62.52 per Boe, or 76% of the weighted average of NYMEX crude oil prices for the quarter.

    HighPeak’s fourth quarter 2022 capital expenditures to drill, complete, equip, provide facilities and to build water and power infrastructure were approximately $321.6 million. In addition, the Company incurred capital expenditures of approximately $4.0 million primarily related to leasehold acquisitions.

    The Company also completed a senior unsecured note offering for $250.0 million due 2024 for aggregate proceeds of $223.7 million, net of original issue discounts and debt issuance costs.

    At December 31, 2022, the Company had $745.0 million in long-term debt and $30.5 million of cash on hand. 

    Hedging Update

    As of December 31, 2022, the Company had crude oil swaps in place to hedge 1.72 million barrels of its 2023 crude oil production, or 4,718 barrels of oil per day, at an average swap price of $71.59 per barrel. In addition, the Company has deferred premium put options in place for 2023 and 2024 totaling 1.93 million barrels and 1.37 million barrels or 5,282 and 3,743 barrels of oil per day, respectively, with deferred premiums of $5.00 per barrel and floor prices averaging $58.43 and $51.50 for 2023 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s crude oil derivative contracts are based on reported settlement prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange for West Texas Intermediate pricing.

    Year End 2022 Proved Reserves

    As of December 31, 2022, HighPeak Energy’s estimated proved reserves, prepared by Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc., increased approximately 92% to 123.0 MMBoe consisting of 80% crude oil, 12% NGL and 8% natural gas compared with December 31, 2021 estimated proved reserves. Proved developed reserves increased 114% to 61.3 MMBoe and were 50% of the Company’s total proved reserves. The Company’s PV-10, was approximately $3.9 billion at year end 2022, an increase of approximately 189%, compared with $1.3 billion at year end 2021, each based on pricing guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 2022 SEC pricing was $93.67 per barrel of crude oil and $6.358 per MMBtu of natural gas, before adjustments for price differentials.

    Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

    The information in this press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. When used in this document, the words “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “continue,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “future,” “potential,” “estimate” or the negative of such terms and similar expressions as they relate to HighPeak Energy, Inc. (“HighPeak Energy,” the “Company” or the “Successor”) are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are generally not historical in nature. The forward-looking statements are based on the Company's current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about the Company and the industry in which the Company operates. Although the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, they involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and, in many cases, beyond the Company's control. For example, the Company’s review of strategic alternatives may not result in a sale of the Company, a recommendation that a transaction occur or result in a completed transaction, and any transaction that occurs may not increase shareholder value, in each case as a result of such risks and uncertainties.

    These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the results of the strategic review being undertaken by the Company’s Board and the interest of prospective counterparties, the Company’s ability to realize the results contemplated by the 2023 and 2024 guidance contained herein, volatility of commodity prices, product supply and demand, the impact of a widespread outbreak of an illness, such as the coronavirus disease pandemic, on global and U.S. economic activity, competition, the ability to obtain environmental and other permits and the timing thereof, other government regulation or action, the ability to obtain approvals from third parties and negotiate agreements with third parties on mutually acceptable terms, litigation, the costs and results of drilling and operations, availability of equipment, services, resources and personnel required to perform the Company's drilling and operating activities, access to and availability of transportation, processing, fractionation, refining and storage facilities, HighPeak Energy's ability to replace reserves, implement its business plans or complete its development activities as scheduled, access to and cost of capital, the financial strength of counterparties to any credit facility and derivative contracts entered into by HighPeak Energy, if any, and purchasers of HighPeak Energy's oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas production, uncertainties about estimates of reserves, identification of drilling locations and the ability to add proved reserves in the future, the assumptions underlying forecasts, including forecasts of production, expenses, cash flow from sales of oil and gas and tax rates, quality of technical data, environmental and weather risks, including the possible impacts of climate change, cybersecurity risks and acts of war or terrorism. These and other risks are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no duty to publicly update these statements except as required by law.

    Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of hydrocarbons that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. Reserves estimates included herein may not be indicative of the level of reserves or PV-10 value of oil and natural gas production in the future, as they are based on prices significantly higher than current commodity prices. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions could impact HighPeak’s strategy and change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

    Use of Projections

    The financial, operational, industry and market projections, estimates and targets in this press release (including production, operating expenses and capital expenditures in future periods) are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected, expected or target results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, regulatory and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the financial, operational, industry and market projections, estimates and targets, including assumptions, risks and uncertainties described in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above. These projections are speculative by their nature and, accordingly, are subject to significant risk of not being actually realized by the Company. Projected results of the Company for 2024 are particularly speculative and subject to change. Actual results may vary materially from the current projections, including for reasons beyond the Company’s control. The projections are based on current expectations and available information as of the date of this release. The Company undertakes no duty to publicly update these projections except as required by law.

    Drilling Locations

    The Company has estimated its drilling locations based on well spacing assumptions and upon the evaluation of its drilling results and those of other operators in its area, combined with its interpretation of available geologic and engineering data. The drilling locations actually drilled on the Company’s properties will depend on the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, commodity prices, costs, actual drilling results and other factors. Any drilling activities conducted on these identified locations may not be successful and may not result in additional proved reserves. Further, to the extent the drilling locations are associated with acreage that expires, the Company would lose its right to develop the related locations.
