2021 UPDATED GUIDANCE

  • Updated full year 2021 production guidance of 9,000 Boe/d to 9,500 Boe/d
    • See additional detail in Operational and Financial Guidance Update table below
    • General and administrative costs reduced 13% at the mid-point to $13.4 million from $15.4 million
    • Mineral acquisition capital reduced 35% at the mid-point to $65 million from $100 million
      • Maintaining discipline in environment with higher seller expectations and transitory competition
    • Mid-point of daily production volumes reduced 3% attributable to reduced mineral acquisitions

Robert M. (“Rob”) Roosa, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Drilling activity continued to rebound in the second quarter with a 16% gross (31% net) increase in wells spud compared to the first quarter, which substantially outpaced the 9% industry-wide rig increase in our liquids rich basins. Drilling activity drove a 14% increase in net DUCs to 5.0 net locations, which we anticipate will be highly contributory to production volumes over the next twelve months as operators such as Chevron Corporation, Pioneer Natural Resources Inc., Exxon Mobil Corporation, PDC Energy, Inc. and Diamondback Energy, Inc. turn our DUCs in line to production. Collectively, these large, well-capitalized E&Ps operate 60% of our DUCs and are running an aggregate 19 frac crews in our basins. Driven by this high-quality DUC inventory, we anticipate our production volumes over the next twelve months, or the period from Q3 2021 through Q2 2022, will average between 9,000 Boe/d and 10,000 Boe/d. Our acquisition team remained highly disciplined as commodity prices increased throughout the second quarter targeting highly accretive acquisitions focused on activity wells and continued to deliver, deploying $14.4 million in mineral acquisition capital, almost entirely to the Permian Basin. As a result of higher seller price expectations and the desire to maintain discipline in the face of increased competition, which has historically proven to be transitory, we anticipate deploying $15 million of acquisition capital over the next two quarters, which will be majority funded by retained cash and our portfolio optimization and rationalization activities.”

Blake C. Williams, Chief Financial Officer, added, “Our high-quality asset base delivered strong second quarter results highlighted by both record revenues and Adjusted EBITDA(1). Realized pricing improved 13% over the first quarter, which along with our production uplift drove a 9% increase in our dividend to $0.35 per share this quarter. Further, we were able to internally fund approximately 40% of our second quarter mineral acquisition capital, which is up from 30% in the first quarter. Finally, we are excited to implement a base plus variable dividend structure(2) with a quarterly base dividend of $0.14 per share, which represents an attractive and sustainable fixed base yield relative to broader market indices. We believe the base dividend has been battle tested as it equates to our second quarter 2020 dividend, which incorporates the substantial commodity price, economic and activity disruptions attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions of OPEC +. In addition to the base dividend, our second quarter dividend includes a variable amount of $0.21 per share, bringing our total payout to 80% of Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus(1) for the second quarter. The variable dividend represents an incremental 4.4% annualized yield for a total dividend yield of 7.3% to our Class A shareholders at our current stock price. In summary, the implementation of this dividend structure(2) represents the confidence in both our team and our assets’ ability to consistently return capital to shareholders regardless of commodity prices or activity.”

FINANCIAL UPDATE

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, crude oil, natural gas and NGL production volumes increased 1% to 8,988 Boe/d as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 and increased 2% as compared to the same prior-year period. The majority of the operator activity and production volumes affected by Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 returned over the course of the quarter resulting in flat production volumes relative to the first quarter 2021.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, average realized prices were $63.11 per barrel of oil, $4.58 per Mcf of natural gas, and $23.77 per barrel of NGL, for a total equivalent price of $45.24 per Boe. This represents a 13% increase relative to the three months ended March 31, 2021 and a 191% increase relative to the same prior-year period.

The Company saw general and administrative costs (before share-based compensation) continue to remain at record lows of $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 and decrease 22% relative to the same prior-year period.

The Company's net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $15.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $30.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, up 14% from the three months ended March 31, 2021 and up 421% relative to the same prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus was $30.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, up 18% from the three months ended March 31, 2021 and up 413% from the same prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus are Non-GAAP financial measures. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus and a reconciliation to our most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, please read "Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $6.4 million and $92.0 million of undrawn revolver capacity under its credit facility, providing the Company with total liquidity of $98.4 million. In connection with the Company's semi-annual borrowing base redetermination, the Company's borrowing base was increased to $165.0 million effective July 7, 2021 resulting in pro forma liquidity of $128.4 million.

Brigham Minerals Second Quarter 2021 Earnings Conference Call

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Discretionary Cash Flow and Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures used by our management and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, research analysts and others to assess the financial performance of our assets and their ability to sustain dividends over the long term without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as Net Income (Loss) before depreciation, depletion and amortization, share-based compensation expense, interest expense, and income tax expense, less other income. We define Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus as Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to eliminate the impacts of lease bonus and other revenues we receive due to the unpredictability of timing and magnitude of the revenue. We define Discretionary Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash interest expense and cash taxes. We define Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus as Discretionary Cash Flow further adjusted to eliminate the impacts of lease bonus revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Discretionary Cash Flow and Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Discretionary Cash Flow and Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Discretionary Cash Flow and Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Discretionary Cash Flow and Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for the periods indicated.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this press release specifically include the expectations of plans, strategies, objectives and anticipated financial and operating results of the Company, including production and other guidance within this press release. These statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Company based on management’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. These include, but are not limited to, continued downturns or delays in resuming operator activity due to commodity price fluctuations, the Company’s ability to integrate acquisitions into its existing business, changes in oil, natural gas and NGL prices, weather and environmental conditions, the timing of planned capital expenditures, availability of and competition for acquisitions, operational factors affecting the commencement or maintenance of producing wells on the Company’s properties, the condition of the capital markets generally, as well as the Company’s ability to access them, the proximity to and capacity of transportation, uncertainties regarding environmental regulations or litigation, global or national health events, including the ongoing spread and economic effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, potential future pandemics, the actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other significant producers and governments and the ability of such producers to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls and other legal or regulatory developments affecting the Company’s business and other important factors.
