HighPeak Energy, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter 2021 Results and 2022 Outlook
Fort Worth, Texas, March 7, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - HighPeak Energy, Inc. (“HighPeak” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HPK) today announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter 2021 and reaffirmed its 2022 outlook. The Company completed its business combination on August 21, 2020 and consequently, the following operational and financial data refer to the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 and the three months ended December 31, 2020 and the period from August 22, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (the “Successor periods”) and the period from January 1, 2020 through August 21, 2020 (the “Predecessor period”).
Fourth Quarter 2021 and Early 2022 Highlights
|
● |
Fourth quarter 2021 sales volumes of 14,881 barrels of crude oil equivalent per day (“Boe/d”), an increase of approximately 81% compared with third quarter 2021, consisting of approximately 88% crude oil and 95% liquids. |
|
● |
Fourth quarter 2021 sales volumes benefitted from a successfully executed fourth quarter drilling campaign and are based primarily on production from approximately 59 gross (47.4 net) horizontal wells. At December 31, 2021, the Company had an additional 27 gross (23.0 net) horizontal wells in various stages of drilling and completion that are expected to come online during the latter part of the first quarter 2022. |
|
● |
EBITDAX (a non-GAAP financial measure as defined and reconciled below) of $72.4 million and $164.2 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. |
|
● |
Fourth quarter 2021 realized price of $72.07 per Boe and realized cash operating margin of $60.26 per Boe, excluding the effects of derivatives. |
|
● |
Drilled 15 gross (14.0 net) operated horizontal wells and completed 10 gross (6.0 net) operated horizontal wells during the fourth quarter. Also participated in drilling 2 gross (1.0 net) non-operated horizontal wells. |
|
● |
The Company’s year-end 2021 PV-10 reserve value increased to approximately $1.5 billion using flat pricing of $72 per barrel of oil and $3.75 per MMBtu of natural gas, before adjustments for differentials, and an estimated realized price of $32.18 per barrel of natural gas liquids. |
|
● |
Paid a $0.025 per share quarterly dividend in October of 2021. |
|
● |
Ended 2021 with net debt of $65.1 million (a non-GAAP financial measure as defined and calculated below). |
|
● |
Increased liquidity to approximately $225 million by completing an October public stock offering, recently closing a private senior unsecured notes offering and amending the revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”). |
|
● |
During the first quarter 2022, the Company entered into a series of agreements to acquire various crude oil and natural gas properties contiguous to its Flat Top operating area, which in the aggregate, consist of approximately 9,500 net acres, associated estimated production of 2,500 Boe per day and approximately 40 additional horizontal drilling locations. |
2022 Development Outlook
The Company added a third drilling rig in October 2021 to further delineate its Signal Peak area and to accelerate development drilling in its Flat Top operating area. The Company added a fourth drilling rig in early January 2022. Additionally, we will continue the buildout of our field infrastructure to reduce operating costs and advance our ESG objectives. The Company currently plans to operate a minimum of four (4) drilling rigs and an average of two (2) frac fleets during 2022, assuming commodity prices and rates of return remain attractive. However, the scope, duration and magnitude of the direct and indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are continuing to evolve and in ways that are difficult or impossible to anticipate. Given the dynamic nature of this situation and the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Company is maintaining flexibility in its capital plan and will continue to evaluate drilling and completion activity on an economic basis, with future activity levels assessed monthly.

HighPeak Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jack Hightower, said, “We had a great fourth quarter as evidenced by our 81% production growth. Even before the Ukrainian crisis, we recognized massive underinvestment in energy over the past several years, and contrary to industry sentiment we forged ahead and positioned ourselves for responsible growth. HighPeak is uniquely poised to take advantage of current market conditions because of our exception well economics, operational success and strong balance sheet. We are contemplating accelerating our drilling activity in this year’s business which we can accomplish without increasing our near-term outspend. We are a growth company and we want our shareholders to realize that we will lean into all available opportunities, especially given our quick payouts and high returns on investment.”
Acquisitions
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a series of agreements to acquire various crude oil and natural gas properties contiguous to its Flat Top operating area in Borden and Howard counties, which in the aggregate, consist of approximately 9,500 net acres and associated estimated production of 2,500 Boe per day. The properties under contract also include a salt-water disposal system (“SWD system”) which includes three (3) active disposal wells with current disposal capacity of 12,000 barrels of water per day, in-field produced fluid gathering pipelines, and three (3) SWD permits. Additional benefits associated with the acquired properties include local non-potable water sourcing capacity of approximately 35,000 barrels per day from local surface landowners at attractive rates, which should equate to over $3 million in annual cost savings, and in-field crude oil gathering pipelines and LACT units. The acquired acreage will add approximately 40 additional horizontal drilling locations in the Wolfcamp A formation, which continues to provide robust rates of return in the current commodity price environment. The majority of the acquisitions are expected to close late in the first quarter and early in the second quarter of 2022.
Closing on Issuance of $225 Million Senior Unsecured Notes
The Company closed its previously announced issuance of $225 million 10.0% senior unsecured notes due 2024. The Company used a portion of the proceeds to pay off its outstanding debt balance under its Revolving Credit Facility. The remaining proceeds will be used to fund the Company’s 2022 development drilling program. The Company’s liquidity after receipt of funds from the issuance of the Notes is approximately $225 million including cash and borrowing capacity under its Revolving Credit Facility.
Fourth Quarter Operational Update
The Company’s sales volumes during the fourth quarter 2021 averaged 14,881 Boe/d, an increase of approximately 81% compared with third quarter 2021, consisting of approximately 88% oil and 95% liquids.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company drilled 15 gross (14.0 net) operated horizontal wells utilizing approximately three drilling rigs. The Company completed 10 gross (6.0 net) producing wells. At December 31, 2021, the Company was in various stages of completion on 27 gross (23.0 net) wells and was in the process of drilling 5 gross (5.0 net) operated horizontal wells and 1 gross (1.0 net) operated salt water disposal well. The Company also participated in drilling 2 gross (1.0 net) non-operated horizontal wells during the fourth quarter 2021.
Michael Hollis, HighPeak’s President, commented, “The series of highly accretive acquisitions that HighPeak entered into this quarter not only add production and future drilling locations, but also complement our already robust infrastructure. By adding our fourth rig in January we have supercharged our exceptional and differential growth engine. With one of the best recycle ratios in the business, we have leaned into this commodity price environment and remain flexible to react when appropriate to market conditions.”
Mr. Hollis, concluded, “Our hearts and minds are with the Ukrainians. HighPeak Energy is doing its part to supply the world with clean and reliable energy. In light of the recent conflict in Ukraine, we feel it is even more important to our national security to reduce our need for imported oil.”
Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results
HighPeak reported net income of $37.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, or $0.35 per diluted share. EBITDAX (a non-GAAP financial measure as defined and reconciled below) was $72.4 million, or $0.68 per diluted share.
Fourth quarter average realized prices were $77.45 per barrel of crude oil, $41.02 per barrel of natural gas liquids and $5.05 per Mcf of natural gas, resulting in an overall realized price of $72.07 per Boe, or 93% of the weighted average of NYMEX crude oil prices, excluding the effects of derivatives. HighPeak’s cash costs for the fourth quarter were $14.62 per Boe including lease operating expenses of $8.34 per Boe, production and ad valorem taxes of $3.47 per Boe and cash G&A expenses of $2.81 per Boe. The Company’s unhedged cash margin was $57.45 per Boe, or 74% of the weighted average of NYMEX crude oil prices for the quarter.
HighPeak’s fourth quarter 2021 capital expenditures to drill, complete, equip, provide facilities and to build water and power infrastructure were approximately $81.6 million. In addition, the Company incurred capital expenditures of approximately $769,000 primarily on leasehold acquisitions.
The Company also completed a public stock offering on October 20, 2021 of 2,530,000 shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $25.3 million.
At December 31, 2021, the Company had $100.0 million in long-term debt and $34.9 million of cash on hand. In February 2022, the Company closed on the issuance of $225 million Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2024. Simultaneously with the closing of the Notes, the Company used a portion of the proceeds to pay off its outstanding debt balance under its Revolving Credit Facility and reduced its borrowing base and bank commitments to $138.8 million. The Company’s liquidity after receipt of funds from the issuance of the Notes was approximately $225 million including cash and borrowing capacity under its Revolving Credit Facility.
Hedging Update
As of March 7, 2022, the Company has hedged 2.95 million barrels of its 2022 crude oil production, or 8,082 barrels of oil (“BO”) per day (“BO/d), at an average swap price of $71.27 per BO and 641,200 barrels of its 2023 crude oil production, or 1,757 BO/d at an average swap price of $66.04 per BO. The Company’s crude oil derivative contracts are based on reported settlement prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange for West Texas Intermediate pricing.
Year End 2021 Proved Reserves
As of December 31, 2021, HighPeak Energy’s estimated proved reserves, prepared by Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc., increased 185% to 64.2 MMBoe consisting of 81% crude oil, 8% natural gas and 11% natural gas liquids compared with December 31, 2020 estimated proved reserves. Proved developed reserves increased 178% to 28.6 MMBoe and were 45% of the Company’s total proved reserves. The Company’s PV-10, a non-GAAP financial measure, was approximately $1.34 billion at year end 2021, an increase of 468%, compared with $235.5 million at year end 2020, each based on pricing guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 2021 SEC pricing was $66.56 per barrel of crude oil and $3.598 per MMBtu of natural gas, before adjustments for price differentials. Natural gas liquids realized pricing for the 2021 proved reserve report was $29.76 per barrel.
Using flat pricing of $72 per barrel of crude oil and $3.75 per MMBtu of natural gas, before adjustments for differentials, and an estimated realized price of $32.18 per barrel of natural gas liquids, 2021-year end proved reserves are estimated to be 64.5 MMBoe of which 45% are proved developed. Under this price case, the Company’s PV-10 reserve value increased to approximately $1.5 billion including $815 million for proved developed reserves.
