Management Comment
J. Ross Craft, Approach’s Chairman, CEO and President, commented, “We
have continued to make great strides in reducing our cost structure. Our
large-scale water recycling center became fully operational and helped
to reduce our lease operating expense by 20% from the prior-year quarter
to below $5.00 per Boe. We recognized double-digit percentage declines
across all of our per-unit cash cost metrics, including corporate
overhead. In addition, our costs for a standard lateral horizontal well
decreased during the quarter to an average of $4.5 million. This quarter
solidifies our position as one of the lowest-cost Permian operators in
the horizontal Wolfcamp play.
“As the outlook for commodity prices remains challenging and uncertain,
we have made a decision to reduce our capital expenditure budget for
2015 from $160 million to $150 million to preserve capital and maintain
flexibility to take advantage of opportunities that this industry
environment may present. We have demonstrated our commitment to capital
discipline in prior price cycles, most recently in 2009. We took the
time to evaluate and discover a new shale play, which is now known as
the Wolfcamp shale play. I believe this price cycle can provide similar
opportunities for Approach to grow and deliver long-term value to our
shareholders.”
Second Quarter 2015 Results
Production for second quarter 2015 totaled 1,391 MBoe (15.3 MBoe/d),
compared to production of 1,286 MBoe (14.1 MBoe/d) in second quarter
2014, an 8% increase. Oil production for the second quarter was 499
MBbls (5.5 MBbls/d). Production for second quarter 2015 was 65% liquids
and 35% natural gas.
Due to sustained, low commodity prices, the Company reported a net loss
for second quarter 2015 of $11.9 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, on
revenues of $38.6 million. This compares to net income for second
quarter 2014 of $3.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, on revenues of
$73.4 million. Second quarter 2015 revenues represented a decrease of
47% from the prior-year quarter, but an increase of 16% compared to the
first quarter of 2015. Net income for second quarter 2015 included an
unrealized loss on commodity derivatives of $13.9 million and a realized
gain on commodity derivatives of $9.3 million.
Excluding the unrealized loss on commodity derivatives and related
income taxes, adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) for second quarter 2015 was
$2.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net
income of $8.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for second quarter
2014. EBITDAX (non-GAAP) for second quarter 2015 was $32.6 million, or
$0.80 per diluted share, compared to $50.6 million, or $1.29 per diluted
share, for second quarter 2014. See “Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial and
Other Measures” below for our definitions and reconciliations of
adjusted net (loss) income and EBITDAX to net (loss) income.
Our average realized commodity price for second quarter 2015, before the
effect of commodity derivatives, was $27.76 per Boe. This compares to an
average realized price of $57.06 per Boe in second quarter 2014. Our
average realized price, including the effect of commodity derivatives,
was $34.44 per Boe for second quarter 2015.
Lease operating expense continued to decline, averaging $4.97 per Boe
for second quarter 2015. This represents a 20% decrease from the
prior-year quarter and a 10% decrease from first quarter 2015.
Production and ad valorem taxes averaged $2.14 per Boe, or 7.7% of oil,
NGL and gas sales. Exploration costs were $0.84 per Boe. Cash general
and administrative expense averaged $3.91 per Boe, a 20% decline
compared to the prior-year quarter. Non-cash general and administrative
expense averaged $1.49 per Boe. Depletion, depreciation and amortization
expense averaged $20.43 per Boe, representing an 8% year-over-year
decline. Interest expense totaled $6.2 million.
Operations Update
During second quarter 2015, we drilled nine horizontal wells, completed
10 horizontal wells and had two additional horizontal wells in the final
stages of completion. The average initial production (IP) rate for all
wells completed since our last report was 869 Boe/d (58% oil and 81%
liquids). This includes four longer lateral wells. We continued to
improve our operational efficiency, reducing our drilling time by an
additional 20% compared to a record-setting low average drilling time in
2014. Our spud to total depth (TD) has been reduced to an average of
eight days per well.
In addition, we recycled 1.3 million barrels of flowback and produced
water during the quarter, which not only helped drive down our drilling
and completion costs to $4.5 million per well, but also helped reduce
our LOE cost to below $5.00 per Boe. Since the beginning of our water
recycling program, we have recycled more than 2 million barrels of
flowback and produced water.
Capital expenditures incurred during second quarter 2015 totaled $56.9
million, and included $53.5 million for drilling and completion
activities, and $3.4 million for infrastructure projects, equipment and
land. As planned, our capital spending for 2015 was largely incurred in
the first half of the year. Given the prolonged low commodity price
outlook, we have suspended our drilling and completion activities for
the remainder of the year. Although we experienced three winter storms,
two DCP plant shut-ins and have suspended drilling and completion
activities for the remainder of the year, we still project overall
production growth of approximately 8% for 2015.
Liquidity Update
At June 30, 2015, we had a $1 billion revolving credit facility with
$450 million in lender commitments and $257 million of outstanding
borrowings. At June 30, 2015, our liquidity and long-term
debt-to-capital ratio were approximately $193 million and 40%,
respectively. See “Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial and Other Measures”
below for our definitions and calculation of liquidity and long-term
debt-to-capital ratio.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial and Other Measures
This release contains certain financial measures that are non-GAAP
measures. We have provided reconciliations below of the non-GAAP
financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures and on the Non-GAAP Financials page in the Investor Relations
section of our website at www.approachresources.com.
Adjusted Net (Loss) Income
This release contains the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted net
(loss) income and adjusted net (loss) income per diluted share, which
excludes (1) unrealized loss on commodity derivatives, (2) a rig
termination fee, and (3) related income tax effect. The amounts included
in the calculation of adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted net (loss)
income per diluted share below were computed in accordance with GAAP. We
believe adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted net (loss) income per
diluted share are useful to investors because they provide readers with
a more meaningful measure of our profitability before recording certain
items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably determined. However,
these measures are provided in addition to, and not as an alternative
for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained
in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including
the notes), included in our SEC filings and posted on our website.
The table below provides a reconciliation of adjusted net (loss) income
and adjusted net (loss) income per diluted share to net (loss) income
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands,
except per-share amounts).

EBITDAX
We define EBITDAX as net (loss) income, plus (1) exploration expense,
(2) depletion, depreciation and amortization expense, (3) share-based
compensation expense, (4) unrealized loss on commodity derivatives, (5)
interest expense, net, and (6) income tax (benefit) provision. EBITDAX
is not a measure of net income or cash flow as determined by GAAP. The
amounts included in the calculation of EBITDAX were computed in
accordance with GAAP. EBITDAX is presented herein and reconciled to the
GAAP measure of net income because of its wide acceptance by the
investment community as a financial indicator of a company's ability to
internally fund development and exploration activities. This measure is
provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, and should be
read in conjunction with, the information contained in our financial
statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes),
included in our SEC filings and posted on our website.
The table below provides a reconciliation of EBITDAX and EBITDAX per
diluted share to net (loss) income for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands, except per-share amounts).

The amounts included in the calculation of cash operating expenses were

conjunction with, the information contained in our financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in our

Liquidity
Liquidity is calculated by adding the net funds available under our
revolving credit facility and cash and cash equivalents. We use
liquidity as an indicator of the Company’s ability to fund development
and exploration activities. However, this measurement has limitations.
This measurement can vary from year-to-year for the Company and can vary
among companies based on what is or is not included in the measurement
on a company’s financial statements. This measurement is provided in
addition to, and not as an alternative for, and should be read in
conjunction with, the information contained in our financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in our
SEC filings and posted on our website.

Long-Term Debt-to-Capital
Long-term debt-to-capital ratio is calculated by dividing long-term debt
(GAAP) by the sum of total stockholders’ equity (GAAP) and long-term
debt (GAAP). We use the long-term debt-to-capital ratio as a measurement
of our overall financial leverage. However, this ratio has limitations.
This ratio can vary from year-to-year for the Company and can vary among
companies based on what is or is not included in the ratio on a
company’s financial statements. This ratio is provided in addition to,
and not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with,
the information contained in our financial statements prepared in
accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in our SEC filings
and posted on our website.
