Item 2.02

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

 

On November 8, 2018, Comstock Resources, Inc. ("Comstock" or the "Company") announced financial results for the periods ended August 14 – September 30, 2018 (the "Successor" period), for the period July 1 through August 13 (the "Predecessor" period), for the period January 1, 2018 through August 13, 2018 ("Predecessor" partial year period) and for the Predecessor three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017.  A copy of the press release announcing Comstock's earnings and operating results for these Successor and Predecessor periods and other matters is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

 

The earnings press release contains financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP").  Comstock has provided reconciliations within the earnings release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Operating cash flow is presented in the earnings release because management believes it to be useful to investors as a common alternative measure of cash flows. EBITDAX is presented in the earnings release because management believes that EBITDAX, which represents Comstock's results from operations before interest, income taxes, and certain non-cash items, including depreciation, depletion and amortization and exploration expense, is a common alternative measure of operating performance used by certain investors and financial analysts. The non-GAAP financial measures described above should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP that are presented in the earnings release.

 

The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

NEWS RELEASE

 

For Immediate Release

 

COMSTOCK RESOURCES, INC. REPORTS

THIRD QUARTER 2018 FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS

 

FRISCO, TEXAS, November 8, 2018 – Comstock Resources, Inc. ("Comstock" or the "Company") (NYSE: CRK) today reported financial and operating results. On August 14, 2018 Arkoma Drilling, L.P. and Williston Drilling, L.P. (collectively, the "Jones Partnerships") contributed to the Company certain oil and gas properties producing from the Bakken shale in exchange for common stock of Comstock representing a controlling stake in the Company (the "Jones Contribution"). The Jones Partnerships are wholly owned and controlled by Dallas businessman Jerry Jones and his children. The Jones Partnerships received 88,571,429 newly issued shares of Comstock common stock representing an 84% ownership interest in the Company.

 

Comstock's basis in the Bakken shale properties is the historical basis of the Jones Partnerships. The change in control results in a new basis for Comstock's assets and liabilities. The new basis is pushed down to Comstock for financial reporting purposes, resulting in Comstock's assets, liabilities and equity accounts being recognized at fair value upon the closing of the contribution.

 

References to "Successor" relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company subsequent to August 13, 2018. References to "Predecessor" relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company on or prior to August 13, 2018. The Company's consolidated financial statements and related footnotes are being presented with a black line division which delineates the lack of comparability between amounts presented before and after August 13, 2018.

 

Financial Results for the Period August 14, 2018 through September 30, 2018

 

The financial results for the first period since closing the Jones Partnerships contribution is for 48 days from August 14, 2018 through September 30, 2018.  During that period Comstock produced 542,000 barrels of oil and 14.1 billion cubic feet ("Bcf") of natural gas or 17.4 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent ("Bcfe"). Oil production averaged 11,300 barrels of oil per day and natural gas production averaged 294 million cubic feet ("MMcf") per day. Comstock's average realized oil price was $62.21 per barrel and the average realized gas price after hedging was $2.59 per Mcf during this period.

Oil and gas sales for the period were $70.3 million (including realized hedging gains). EBITDAX, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, exploration expense and other noncash expenses, was $52.9 million and operating cash flow generated was $38.8 million.  

Comstock reported earnings of $13.8 million or $0.13 per share for the period August 14, 2018 through September 30, 2018. The results for this period included an unrealized loss from derivative financial


instruments of $2.2 million and a gain on sale of oil and gas properties of $0.1 million. Excluding these items, the net income would have been $15.9 million or $0.15 per share.

 

Financial Results for the Period July 1, 2018 through August 13, 2018

 

The first 44 days of the third quarter from July 1, 2018 through August 13, 2018 are part of the Predecessor period before the closing of the Jones Contribution and do not include the results of the Bakken shale properties. During that period Comstock produced 7,200 barrels of oil and 11.9 Bcf of natural gas or 11.9 Bcfe. Oil production averaged 163 barrels of oil per day and natural gas production averaged 270 MMcf per day. Comstock's average realized oil price was $69.42 per barrel and the average realized gas price after hedging was $2.73 per Mcf during this period.

 

Oil and gas sales were $32.9 million (including realized hedging gains). EBITDAX was $23.7 million and operating cash flow generated was $10.2 million.  

 

Comstock reported a net loss of $16.9 million or $1.09 per share for the period July 1, 2018 through August 13, 2018. The results for this period included transaction costs related to the Jones Contribution of $2.6 million, $6.0 million of non-cash interest expense associated with the discounts recognized and costs incurred on the debt exchange that occurred in 2016, and an unrealized loss from derivative financial instruments of $0.4 million. Excluding these items, the net loss would have been $7.9 million or $0.51 per share.

 

Drilling Results

 

Comstock reported the results to date of its 2018 Haynesville/Bossier shale drilling program.  During the first nine months of 2018, Comstock spent $164.9 million on its development and exploration activities, including $15.6 million spent to complete 26 (2.8 net) Bakken shale wells. Comstock drilled 27 Haynesville/Bossier natural gas wells (9.9 net) and had 16 wells (4.9 net) drilling at September 30, 2018.  Comstock also completed eleven (4.0 net) operated Haynesville wells that were drilled in 2017. Comstock also spent $57.2 million on acquisitions, including the previously reported acquisition of Haynesville shale properties from Enduro Resource Partners and the repurchase of interests in six Haynesville shale wells that were being drilled under the strategic drilling venture which was terminated effective with the closing of the Jones Contribution.

 

Since the last operational update, Comstock has completed ten additional operated Haynesville shale wells.  The average initial production rate of these wells was 25 MMcf per day. The ten operated wells had completed lateral lengths ranging from 4,502 feet to 9,865 feet, with an average completed lateral length of 7,629 feet. Each well was tested at initial production rates of 21 to 28 MMcf per day.  Comstock has two (0.8 net) operated Haynesville shale wells that are in the process of being completed.

 

4th Quarter 2018 and 2019 Drilling Budget

 

The Company also announced drilling plans for the fourth quarter of 2018 and 2019. The Company's current plans are to operate four drilling rigs through 2018 increasing to five operated rigs in March of 2019. The Company currently plans to spend $90.0 million in the fourth quarter comprised of $69.3 million to drill 21 Haynesville shale wells (6.6 net) including 12 operated wells (6.3 net) and $20.7 million to complete 30 Bakken shale wells (4.4 net). The Company's preliminary 2019 planned capital expenditures for 2019 are estimated at $377.0 million. Haynesville/Bossier shale drilling and completion activities comprise $361.3 million of 2019's activity to drill 57 horizontal wells (38.2 net) including spending $25.2 million to complete wells drilled in 2018. Comstock expects to spend an additional $15.7


million on its other properties. The drilling budget will be adjusted upward or downward in response to oil and natural gas prices as the program is intended to be funded by operating cash flow.
