Granite Ridge Resources Inc. (“Granite Ridge” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GRNT) today reported financial and operating results for the second quarter 2023 and provided an updated outlook for 2023.

Second Quarter 2023 Highlights

  • Reported net income of $8.7 million, or $0.07 per share, versus $93.3 million, or $0.70 per share, for the prior year period. Second quarter adjusted net income (non-GAAP) totaled $25.6 million, or $0.19 per share.
  • Generated $69.7 million of adjusted EBITDAX (non-GAAP).
  • Deployed $63.2 million of capital during the quarter, including $7.5 million of inventory acquisitions (non-GAAP).
  • Placed 79 gross (5.54 net) wells online.
  • Declared dividend of $0.11 per share of common stock.
  • Added to the Russell 3000 Index on June 23, 2023.
  • Ended the second quarter of 2023 with liquidity of $109.2 million.

2023 Outlook Updates

  • Increased full year 2023 midpoint production guidance to 22,250 Boe per day; now expecting to generate 13% midpoint annual production volume growth as compared to the full year 2022.
  • Increased the midpoint of total capital expenditures for full year 2023 by $5 million to $295 million to reflect additional acquisitions.

See “Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for descriptions of the above non-GAAP measures as well as a reconciliation of these measures to the associated GAAP (as defined herein) measures.

Luke Brandenberg, President and CEO of Granite Ridge, commented, “We were pleased to post a 13% increase in year-over-year production during the second quarter of 2023. Driving the growth was a combination of targeted, high-value acquisitions and development activities in key onshore basins across the U.S. In addition, we ended this year’s second quarter with ownership in approximately 158 net producing wells – a 28% increase from the same time last year. We are fortunate to work with a collective group of operators that have proven track records of prudently growing their operational footprint to maximize production and returns. The result has been outsized returns for our investors as we execute our well-defined growth strategy.

“As we look to the remainder of this year and into 2024, we will continue to develop and leverage our deep local relationships to identify and execute on additional opportunities to further expand our business. As in the past, all decisions will be made through a lens of focusing on our highest risk-adjusted rate-of-return opportunities in our deep inventory of prospects. We are encouraged by the positive industry fundamentals we see before us and look forward to enhancing our asset position and continuing to support our operators in their efforts to sustainably grow their respective businesses, which also benefits our shareholders.”

Second Quarter 2023 Summary

Second quarter 2023 oil production volumes totaled 10,418 barrels (“Bbls”) per day, a 13% increase from the second quarter of 2022. Natural gas production for the second quarter of 2023 totaled 66,835 thousand cubic feet of natural gas (“Mcf”) per day, a 13% increase from the second quarter of 2022. As a result, the Company’s total production for the second quarter of 2023 grew 13% from the second quarter of the prior year to 21,557 Boe per day.

Net income for the second quarter of 2023 was $8.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. Excluding non-cash and nonrecurring items, the second quarter 2023 adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $25.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. The Company’s average realized price for oil and natural gas for the second quarter of 2023, excluding the effect of commodity derivatives, was $72.86 per Bbl and $3.04 per Mcf, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDAX (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2023 totaled $69.7 million, compared to $113.6 million for the second quarter of 2022. Second quarter of 2023 cash flow from operating activities was $74.2 million, including $7.4 million in working capital changes. Operating cash flow before working capital changes (non-GAAP) was $66.8 million. Costs incurred for development activities totaled $58.7 million for the second quarter of 2023.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company issued 2,471,738 shares of common stock in exchange for 9,887,035 warrants. The purpose of the warrant exchange was to simplify the Company’s capital structure and reduce the potential dilutive impact of the warrants, thereby providing the Company with more flexibility for financing its operations in the future.

About Granite Ridge

Granite Ridge is a scaled, non-operated oil and gas exploration and production company. We own a portfolio of wells and top-tier acreage across the Permian and four other prolific unconventional basins across the United States. Rather than drill wells ourselves, we increase asset diversity and decrease overhead by investing in a smaller piece of a larger number of high-graded wells drilled by proven public and private operators. We create value by generating sustainable full-cycle risk adjusted returns for investors, offering a rewarding experience for our team, and delivering reliable energy solutions to all – safely and responsibly.

Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and future results that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this release regarding Granite Ridge’s 2023 outlook, dividend plans and practices, financial position, operating and financial performance, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations, industry conditions, and indebtedness covenant compliance are forward-looking statements. When used in this release, forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by terms or phrases such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “target,” “could,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “goal,” “will,” “should,” “may” or other words and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Items contemplating or making assumptions about actual or potential future production and sales, market size, collaborations, and trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond Granite Ridge’s control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the following: the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, Granite Ridge’s financial performance following the business combination, changes in Granite Ridge’s strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects and plans, changes in current or future commodity prices and interest rates, supply chain disruptions, infrastructure constraints and related factors affecting our properties, ability to acquire additional development opportunities or make acquisitions, changes in reserves estimates or the value thereof, operational risks including, but not limited to, the pace of drilling and completions activity on our properties, changes in the markets in which Granite Ridge competes, geopolitical risk and changes in applicable laws, legislation, or regulations, including those relating to environmental matters, cyber-related risks, the fact that reserve estimates depend on many assumptions that may turn out to be inaccurate and that any material inaccuracies in reserve estimates or underlying assumptions will materially affect the quantities and present value of the Granite Ridge’s reserves, the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings, legal and contractual limitations on the payment of dividends, limited liquidity and trading of Granite Ridge’s securities, acts of war or terrorism and market conditions and global, regulatory, technical, and economic factors beyond Granite Ridge’s control, including the potential adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, or another major disease, affecting capital markets, general economic conditions, global supply chains and Granite Ridge’s business and operations, and increasing regulatory and investor emphasis on environmental, social and governance matters.

Granite Ridge has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and assumptions about future events. While management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Granite Ridge’s control. Granite Ridge does not undertake any duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as may be required by the federal securities laws.

Granite Ridge Resources Inc.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company believes certain non-GAAP performance measures may provide financial statement users with additional meaningful comparisons between current results, the results of its peers and the results of prior periods. In addition, the Company believes these measures are used by analysts and others in the valuation, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry. See the reconciliations throughout this release of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures for the periods indicated.

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDAX

Adjusted EBITDAX (as defined below) is presented herein and reconciled from the GAAP measure of net income because of its wide acceptance by the investment community as a financial indicator.

The Company defines adjusted EBITDAX as net income, before (1) exploration and abandonments, (2) depletion and accretion expense, (3) (gain) loss on derivatives – commodity derivatives, (4) net cash receipts from (payments on) commodity derivatives, (5) (gain) loss on disposal of oil and natural gas properties, (6) interest expense (7) (gain) loss on derivatives – common stock warrants (8) non-cash stock-based compensation (9) warrant exchange transaction costs and (10) income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income or cash flows as determined by GAAP.

The Company’s adjusted EBITDAX measure provides additional information that may be used to better understand the Company’s operations. Adjusted EBITDAX is one of several metrics that the Company uses as a supplemental financial measurement in the evaluation of its business and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as an indicator of operating performance. 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 cost of depreciable and depletable assets. Adjusted EBITDAX, as used by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDAX is a widely followed measure of operating performance and is one of many metrics used by the Company’s management team and by other users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For example, adjusted EBITDAX can be used to assess the Company’s operating performance and return on capital in comparison to other independent exploration and production companies without regard to financial or capital structure, and to assess the financial performance of the Company’s assets and the Company without regard to capital structure or historical cost basis.

Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Operating Cash Flow Before Working Capital Changes and to Free Cash Flow

The Company provides Operating Cash Flow (“OCF”) before working capital changes, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. OCF before working capital changes represents net cash provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP without regard to changes in operating assets and liabilities. The Company believes OCF before working capital changes is an accepted measure of an oil and natural gas company’s ability to generate cash used to fund development and acquisition activities and service debt or pay dividends. Additionally, the Company provides free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Free cash flow is cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital in excess of exploration and development costs incurred. The Company believes that free cash flow is useful to investors as it provides measures to compare cash from operating activities and exploration and development costs across periods on a consistent basis.

These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities as indicators of operating performance.

The following tables provide a reconciliation from the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities to OCF before working capital changes and to free cash flow:

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share

The Company’s presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share that exclude the effect of certain items are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share represent earnings and diluted earnings per share determined under GAAP without regard to certain non-cash and nonrecurring items. The Company believes these measures provide useful information to analysts and investors for analysis of its operating results on a recurring, comparable basis from period to period. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for earnings or diluted earnings per share as determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table provides a reconciliation from the GAAP measure of net income to adjusted net income, both in total and on a per diluted share basis, for the periods indicated:

Reconciliation of Total Costs Incurred for Oil and Natural Gas Properties to Inventory Acquisitions

The Company defines inventory acquisitions as costs incurred to acquire additional development opportunities and undeveloped acreage acquisitions and excludes producing property acquisition costs. The Company believes that inventory acquisitions are useful to investors as they provide a measure of Company’s costs incurred for current and future drilling opportunities on a consistent basis.
