Second Quarter 2022 Highlights:

  • Magnolia reported second quarter 2022 net income attributable to Class A Common Stock of $250.6 million, or $1.32 per diluted share. Second quarter 2022 total adjusted net income increased 117% to $293.6 million and diluted weighted average total shares outstanding decreased by 8% to 222.4 million(2) compared to second quarter 2021.
  • Adjusted EBITDAX was $393.4 million during the second quarter of 2022, driven by strong production growth and significantly higher product prices as compared to prior year results. Total drilling and completions (“D&C”) capital during the second quarter was $122.0 million, representing just 31% of adjusted EBITDAX.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities was $379.1 million during the second quarter and the Company generated free cash flow(1) of $250.8 million. Magnolia generated operating income as a percentage of revenue of 68%.
  • Total production in the second quarter of 2022 grew 14% to 74.2 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Mboe/d”) compared to the prior-year quarter and exceeding the high end of our earlier production guidance. As a result, we currently expect full year 2022 production growth in the range of 12% to 14% compared to 2021 levels.
  • During the second quarter, Magnolia repurchased a total of 4.1 million shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock, for $102.4 million, and bringing the total shares repurchased during 2022 to 10.1 million shares. At the end of the second quarter 2022, Magnolia had 12.3 million Class A Common shares remaining under its current repurchase authorization.
  • As previously announced, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share of Class A common stock, and a cash distribution of $0.10 per Class B unit payable on September 1, 2022 to shareholders of record as of August 12, 2022. Beginning with this distribution, Magnolia will move to a quarterly dividend payment from a semi-annual distribution schedule. This represents a $0.40 per share annualized base payout rate or a 43% increase to Magnolia’s dividend compared to the $0.28 per share distribution for full year 2021. We expect our dividend to grow at least 10 percent annually and will reassess the dividend rate in early 2023.
  • Magnolia ended the quarter with $501.9 million of cash on the balance sheet and remains undrawn on its $450.0 million revolving credit facility, with no debt maturities until 2026 and has no plans to increase its debt levels.

Weighted average total shares outstanding include diluted weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period and shares of Class B Common Stock, which are anti-dilutive in the calculation of weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

“Magnolia has just completed its fourth year as a public company, and our business model remains the same. We have consistently executed our strategy, which prioritizes disciplined capital spending, moderate and steady production growth, generating high pre-tax margins and significant free cash flow, while maintaining low levels of debt,” said Chairman, President, and CEO Steve Chazen. “We remain efficient in allocating our cash flows and limit our spending on drilling and completing wells to 55 percent of our EBITDAX, though we will run well below that level this year. These principles in addition to improved operating efficiencies have led to continued profitable growth while generating attractive returns for our shareholders.

“Our strong second quarter financial results benefited from record quarterly production and high product price realizations which boosted our pretax operating margins to 68 percent. While we spent just 31 percent of our adjusted EBITDAX drilling and completing wells during the second quarter, our capital was somewhat higher than expected partly due to increased non-operated activity. Continued drilling efficiencies at Giddings and the higher non-op activity added more net wells and more production, resulting in 3 percent sequential volume growth. Compared to year-ago levels, we increased our total production 14 percent, and reduced the fully diluted share count by 8 percent. We returned more than 40 percent of the $251 million of free cash flow generated during the second quarter through share repurchases, while ending the period with more than half a billion dollars of cash.

“We plan to continue operating two drilling rigs during the remainder of the year. Continued strong well performance and ongoing drilling efficiencies at Giddings, combined with higher non-op activity, is expected to provide full-year 2022 production growth of 12 to 14 percent. Additionally, we plan to repurchase at least 1 percent of our outstanding shares each quarter. Magnolia’s board has declared a cash dividend of 10 cents per share payable next month. This payment will transition Magnolia to a quarterly from a semi-annual dividend distribution schedule. Next month’s payment represents a 40 cent per share annualized base rate or a 43 percent increase to Magnolia’s dividend for 2021. Consistent and moderate production growth combined with ongoing share reductions supports our long-term investment proposition of double-digit annual dividend growth.”

Operational Update

Second quarter 2022 total company production averaged 74.2 Mboe/d, representing more than a 3 percent sequential increase and 14 percent higher than the prior year’s second quarter. Overall production grew during the quarter despite spending only 31 percent of adjusted EBITDAX on drilling and completing wells. Production was above the high end of our guidance mainly due to better well performance from both of our operating areas as well as higher non-op activity.

Magnolia continues to operate two drilling rigs and expects to maintain this level of activity for the balance of the year. One rig will continue to drill multi-well development pads in our Giddings asset. The second rig will drill a mix of wells in both the Karnes and Giddings areas, including some appraisal wells in Giddings. We continue to drive improved operating efficiencies to help mitigate some of the oil field service cost inflation. Prices for most goods and services have only recently exceeded levels seen prior to the pandemic when commodity prices were substantially lower resulting in continued high returns on capital and operating income margins.

Additional Guidance

Magnolia has shown consistent and steady production growth due to strong well performance and faster cycle times. Additional non-operated activity has increased in the Eagle Ford which has contributed to both higher production and capital. As a result, we now expect our full-year 2022 production to grow by 12 to 14 percent compared to 2021. Third quarter production is expected to be 74 to 76 Mboe/d and D&C capital is expected to be in the range of $105 to $115 million. Oil price differentials are anticipated to be approximately a $2 to $3 per barrel discount to Magellan East Houston and Magnolia remains completely unhedged for all its oil and natural gas production. The fully diluted total share count for the third quarter of 2022 is expected to be approximately 219 million shares which is 7 percent lower than third quarter 2021 levels.

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

Magnolia's financial statements and related footnotes will be available in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2022, which is expected to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 3, 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDAX

In this press release, we refer to adjusted EBITDAX, a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We define adjusted EBITDAX as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, amortization of intangible assets, exploration costs, and accretion of asset retirement obligations, adjusted to exclude the effect of certain items included in net income. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income in accordance with GAAP.

Our management believes that adjusted EBITDAX is useful because it allows them to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period and against our peers without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We also believe that securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties may use adjusted EBITDAX in the evaluation of our Company. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from adjusted EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of adjusted EBITDAX. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDAX should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computations of adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDAX, our most directly comparable financial measure, calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income

Our presentation of adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measures because it excludes the effect of certain items included in net income. Management uses adjusted net income to evaluate our operating and financial performance because it eliminates the impact of certain items that management does not consider to be representative of the Company’s on-going business operations. As a performance measure, adjusted net income may be useful to investors in facilitating comparisons to others in the Company’s industry because certain items can vary substantially in the oil and gas industry from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, and capital structure, among other factors. Management believes adjusting these items facilitates investors and analysts in evaluating and comparing the underlying operating and financial performance of our business from period to period by eliminating differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense and income items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. However, our presentation of adjusted net income may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies in our industry.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reconciliation of revenue to adjusted cash operating margin and to operating income margin

Our presentation of adjusted cash operating margin and total adjusted cash operating costs are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management. Total adjusted cash operating costs exclude the impact of non-cash activity. We define adjusted cash operating margin per boe as total revenues per boe less operating expenses per boe. Management believes that total adjusted cash operating costs per boe and adjusted cash operating margin per boe provide relevant and useful information, which is used by our management in assessing the Company’s profitability and comparability of results to our peers.

As a performance measure, total adjusted cash operating costs and adjusted cash operating margin may be useful to investors in facilitating comparisons to others in the Company’s industry because certain items can vary substantially in the oil and gas industry from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, and capital structure, among other factors. Management believes excluding these items facilitates investors and analysts in evaluating and comparing the underlying operating and financial performance of our business from period to period by eliminating differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense and income items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. However, our presentation of adjusted cash operating margin may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies in our industry.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. Free cash flow is defined as cash flows from operations before net change in operating assets and liabilities less additions to oil and natural gas properties and changes in working capital associated with additions to oil and natural gas properties. Management believes free cash flow is useful for investors and widely accepted by those following the oil and gas industry as financial indicators of a company’s ability to generate cash to internally fund drilling and completion activities, fund acquisitions, and service debt. It is also used by research analysts to value and compare oil and gas exploration and production companies and are frequently included in published research when providing investment recommendations. Free cash flow is used by management as an additional measure of liquidity. Free cash flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities.
