NEWS RELEASE

MATADOR RESOURCES COMPANY REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND

FULL YEAR 2011 RESULTS; PROVIDES OPERATIONAL UPDATE

DALLAS, Texas, March 23, 2012 – Matador Resources Company (NYSE:MTDR) (“Matador” or the “Company”) today reported financial and operating results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2011. Highlights for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, include the following.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA of $49.9 million, an increase of 112% over $23.6 million reported for 2010

 

   

Total natural gas equivalent production of 15.4 Bcfe, an increase of 79% over 8.6 Bcfe reported for 2010

 

   

Oil and natural gas revenues of $67.0 million, an increase of 97% over $34.0 million reported for 2010; total realized revenues of $74.1 million including $7.1 million in realized gain on derivatives, an increase of 88% over total realized revenues of $39.3 million including $5.3 million in realized gain on derivatives reported for 2010

 

   

Estimated total proved reserves of 193.2 Bcfe at December 31, 2011, an increase of 51% over 128.3 Bcfe at December 31, 2010

 

   

PV-10 of estimated total proved reserves of $248.7 million (Standardized Measure of $215.5 million) at December 31, 2011, an increase of 107% over $119.9 million (Standardized Measure of $111.1 million) at December 31, 2010(1)

Year-End 2011 Financial Results

Joseph Wm. Foran, Matador’s Chairman, CEO and President commented, “In 2011, Matador achieved record production, revenues and Adjusted EBITDA. In addition to these achievements, our estimated total proved reserves increased by 51% and the PV-10 of our reserves more than doubled year-over-year. Following the successful completion of our IPO in February 2012, we expect another year of strong growth fueled by our ongoing drilling activities in the Eagle Ford shale play in South Texas. We will continue to execute upon our strategy to increase the oil component of our production and reserves and currently anticipate oil production to constitute approximately 35% to 40% of our total production volume and oil revenues to constitute approximately 75% to 80% of our total oil and natural gas revenues in 2012.”

Adjusted EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depletion, depreciation and amortization, property impairments, unrealized derivative gains and losses, non-recurring income and expenses and non-cash stock-based compensation expense, including stock option and grant expense and restricted stock grants) more than doubled to $49.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $23.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. For a reconciliation of net income (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP), please see “Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.


Oil and natural gas revenues increased from $34.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $67.0 million, or an increase of 97%, for the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase in oil and natural gas revenues was due primarily to an increase of 79% in total natural gas equivalent production to 15.4 Bcfe, consisting of approximately 154,000 barrels of oil and 14.5 Bcf of natural gas for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 8.6 Bcfe, consisting of approximately 33,000 barrels of oil and 8.4 Bcf of natural gas for the year ended December 31, 2010. A portion of the increase in oil and natural gas revenues reflects the five-fold increase in oil production for 2011, as well as a higher average oil price of $93.80 per barrel realized for this oil production in 2011 as compared to an average oil price of $76.39 per barrel realized for 2010. Total realized revenues including realized gain on derivatives increased by 88% from $39.3 million reported for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $74.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Matador’s estimated total proved reserves at December 31, 2011 were 193.2 Bcfe, an increase of 51% over estimated total proved reserves of 128.3 Bcfe at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2011, total proved reserves included 3.8 million barrels of oil or 12% oil by volume versus 152,000 barrels of oil or about 1% oil by volume at year-end 2010, reflecting the Company’s focus on increasing the oil component of its production and reserves. Estimated proved developed reserves at December 31, 2011 were 65.1 Bcfe, including 1.4 million barrels of oil, as compared to 44.1 Bcfe, including 152,000 barrels of oil, at December 31, 2010. Estimated proved developed reserves were approximately 34% of estimated total proved reserves at both year-end 2011 and 2010.

The present value discounted at 10% (PV-10) of Matador’s estimated total proved reserves was $248.7 million (Standardized Measure of $215.5 million) at December 31, 2011 compared to a PV-10 of $119.9 million (Standardized Measure of $111.1 million) at December 31, 2010.(1) Oil and natural gas prices used by Matador to estimate total proved reserves were based on the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month oil and natural gas prices for each month in the period January through December in both years. For natural gas, the average Henry Hub spot prices of $4.118 per MMBTU and $4.376 per MMBTU for 2011 and 2010, respectively, were adjusted by property for energy content, transportation fees and regional price differentials. For oil, the average West Texas Intermediate posted prices of $92.71 per barrel and $75.96 per barrel for 2011 and 2010, respectively, were adjusted by property for quality, transportation fees and regional price differentials. All prices and costs were held constant throughout the lives of the properties. The reserves estimates at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were prepared by the Company’s engineering staff and audited by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc., independent reservoir engineers.

Matador reported a net loss of approximately $10.3 million and earnings (loss) of $(0.25) per Class A common share and $0.02 per Class B common share for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company recorded a full-cost ceiling impairment charge of approximately $23.0 million net of a deferred income tax credit of approximately $12.7 million during the first quarter of 2011 and total non-cash stock-based compensation expense of approximately $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company reported earnings (loss) of $(0.65), $0.17, $0.15 and $0.08 per Class A common share and $(0.58), $0.23, $0.22 and $0.15 per Class B common share for each of its unaudited fiscal quarters ended March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Matador reported a net income of approximately $6.4 million and earnings of $0.15 per Class A common share and $0.42 per Class B common share for the year ended December 31, 2010. All Class B shares converted to Class A shares upon completion of our IPO in February 2012.


The following figures illustrate certain financial and operational metrics for Matador’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

PV-10 is a non-GAAP measure and generally differs from Standardized Measure, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because it does not include the effects of income taxes on future net revenues. PV-10 is not an estimate of the fair market value of our properties. We and others in the industry use PV-10 as a measure to compare the relative size and value of proved reserves held by companies and of the potential return on investment related to the companies’ properties without regard to the specific tax characteristics of such entities. Our PV-10 at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 may be reconciled to our Standard Measure of discounted future net cash flows at such dates by reducing our PV-10 by the discounted future income taxes associated with such reserves. The discounted future income taxes at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $33.2 million, $8.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

Operating Expenses Update

Production expenses

Matador’s production expenses, consisting of lease operating and production taxes and marketing expenses, increased to $13.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, or an increase of about 86%, as compared to $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. This increase was attributable primarily to the 79% increase in our total natural gas equivalent production to 15.4 Bcfe for 2011, including a five-fold increase in oil production, as compared to 8.6 Bcfe for 2010. Our production expenses per unit of production increased by about 5% to $0.88 per Mcfe for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $0.84 per Mcfe for the same period in 2010. Our lease operating expenses per unit of production decreased by 23% to $0.47 per Mcfe for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $0.61 per Mcfe for the year ended December 31, 2010. Our production taxes and marketing expenses increased by 78% to $0.41 per Mcfe for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $0.23 per Mcfe for 2010. This increase reflects the growth in both our oil and natural gas production and revenues, as well as increased marketing and transportation charges on a portion of our non-operated Haynesville shale production in 2011.


General and administrative (“G&A”)

Matador’s general and administrative expenses increased by $3.7 million to $13.4 million, or an increase of about 38%, for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase was due primarily to increased cash and non-cash compensation expenses and increased accounting expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. As a result of our increased oil and natural gas production, our general and administrative expenses decreased by 23% on a unit-of-production basis to $0.87 per Mcfe for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $1.13 per Mcfe for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company recorded approximately $2.4 million in non-cash, stock-based compensation expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $0.9 million for 2010. These additional non-cash compensation charges resulted primarily from a change in the accounting method used to value our outstanding stock options.

Depletion, depreciation and amortization (“DD&A”)

Matador’s depletion, depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $16.2 million to $31.8 million, or an increase of about 104%, for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase was due primarily to an increase of approximately 79% in oil and natural gas production from 8.6 Bcfe to 15.4 Bcfe during the respective time periods. Our depletion, depreciation and amortization expenses on a unit-of-production basis increased to $2.06 per Mcfe for the year ended December 31, 2011, or an increase of about 14%, from $1.81 per Mcfe for the year ended December 31, 2010. This per unit increase reflects increases in drilling and completion costs for wells drilled to the Haynesville shale during 2011, as well as higher drilling and completion costs on a per Mcfe basis associated with the oil reserves added in the Eagle Ford shale in South Texas.

Fourth Quarter 2011 Financial Results

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased 90% to $12.4 million from $6.5 million reported for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Matador produced 3.8 Bcfe during the fourth quarter of 2011 (41,000 barrels of oil and 3.6 Bcf of natural gas) as compared to 2.6 Bcfe (8,000 barrels of oil and 2.5 Bcf of natural gas) during the fourth quarter of 2010. Oil and natural gas revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased 69% to $15.0 million, as compared to $8.9 million reported for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Matador reported a net income of approximately $3.4 million and earnings of $0.08 per Class A common share and $0.15 per Class B common share for the fourth quarter of 2011 as compared to a net loss of approximately $1.0 million and earnings (loss) of $(0.03) per Class A common share and $0.04 per Class B common share for the fourth quarter of 2010. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company recorded approximately $1.5 million in non-cash, stock compensation expense attributable primarily to a change in the accounting method used to value our outstanding stock options.

Liquidity Update

In December 2011, Matador amended and restated its senior secured revolving credit agreement. This amendment increased the size of the credit facility from $150.0 million to $400.0 million and extended the term until December 2016. Borrowings under the credit agreement are limited to the


lesser of $400 million or the borrowing base, which was $125.0 million at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2011, the Company had $113.0 million of outstanding indebtedness and approximately $1.3 million in outstanding letters of credit secured by the credit agreement. In January 2012, the Company borrowed an additional $10.0 million, bringing its then total outstanding indebtedness to $123.0 million.

In February 2012, Matador completed its initial public offering receiving net proceeds of approximately $133.6 million, including the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in March 2012, and after deducting all underwriting commissions and discounts and estimated offering fees. Following the completion of the IPO, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds to repay the $123.0 million outstanding under its revolving credit agreement in February 2012, at which time the borrowing base was reduced to $100.0 million. On February 28, 2012, the Company’s borrowing base was increased to $125.0 million pursuant to a special borrowing base redetermination made by the lenders at the Company’s request. On March 19, 2012, the Company borrowed $15.0 million under its credit agreement. Matador plans to fund the remainder of its 2012 capital budget with anticipated cash flows from operations and available borrowings under its credit agreement. During 2012, the Company intends to seek additional redeterminations of its borrowing base as a result of, among other items, any increases in its proved oil and natural gas reserves during the year.

Hedging Positions

From time to time, Matador uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate its exposure to commodity price risk associated with oil and natural gas prices. These instruments consist of put and call options in the form of costless collars. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at fair value.

The Company does not apply hedge accounting for its existing derivative financial instruments.

Matador has hedged 1.18 million barrels of its anticipated 2012 oil production (81% of estimated total production at the mid-point of our production guidance) using costless collars having a weighted average floor price of $90.51/bbl and a weighted average ceiling price of $109.84/bbl.

Matador has hedged 7.2 Bcf of its anticipated 2012 natural gas production (55% of estimated total natural gas production at the mid-point of our production guidance) using costless collars having a weighted average price floor of $4.44/MMBtu and a weighted average ceiling price of $5.78/MMBtu.

2012 Guidance Affirmation

Matador affirms the guidance metrics previously announced on March 7, 2012 including (1) estimated capital spending of $313 million, (2) estimated total oil production of 1.4 to 1.5 million barrels, (3) estimated exit rate for oil production of 5,000 to 5,500 barrels per day and (4) estimated total natural gas production of 12.5 to 13.5 billion cubic feet.


First Quarter 2012 Operational Update

Matador plans to direct approximately 94% or $295 million of its 2012 capital budget to opportunities prospective for oil and liquids, including the allocation of approximately 84% or $264 million specifically to the exploration, development and acquisition of additional interests in the Eagle Ford shale play in South Texas. Matador is running two rigs in South Texas currently and expects to run two rigs in that area throughout 2012. The Company plans to allocate the remaining 6% or approximately $18 million of its 2012 budget to natural gas related activities, primarily in the Haynesville shale in North Louisiana. The Company does not plan to drill any operated Haynesville wells in 2012.

In 2012, the Company plans to drill 30 gross (27.6 net) wells in South Texas targeting oil and liquids production. At December 31, 2011, the Company had drilled and completed seven wells in the Eagle Ford shale play in South Texas. From January 1 through March 15, 2012, the Company drilled seven additional Eagle Ford wells in South Texas, and five of those wells have been completed and recently placed on production. Four of these five wells are located on the Martin Ranch lease in La Salle County and one well is on the Sickenius lease in Karnes County. From March 1 through March 15, 2012, the Company averaged oil production in excess of 3,000 barrels per day and natural gas production in excess of 37 MMcf per day or a total natural gas equivalent production of approximately 55 MMcfe per day (approximately 33% oil by volume).

Eagle Ford West (La Salle, Dimmit and Zavala Counties, Texas)

Matador is currently running one rig in the western portion of the Eagle Ford play. In addition to the six wells drilled and placed on production in this area during 2011, four additional wells have been completed and placed on production on the Martin Ranch lease in northeast La Salle County during the first quarter of 2012. The drilling rig was recently moved from the Martin Ranch to the Northcut lease, also in La Salle County. Drilling and completion operations on the first Northcut well have concluded, and the well recently started flowing back after hydraulic fracturing operations. A second Northcut well is currently drilling with completion operations anticipated to commence shortly after the drilling process has concluded. After the second Northcut well is drilled, the Company will move the rig to the Glasscock Ranch lease in Zavala County, where it plans to drill three wells – an Eagle Ford well, an upper Austin Chalk well and a lower Austin Chalk well. The Company plans to keep this rig active in the western counties of the play for the remainder of the year.

Eagle Ford East (DeWitt, Karnes, Gonzales and Wilson Counties, Texas)

Matador is currently running one rig in the eastern portion of the Eagle Ford play. Our first well in this area, the Lewton #1H in DeWitt County, began producing to sales in December 2011. Since then, the Company has drilled three wells on the Sickenius and Danysh leases during the first quarter of 2012 and is currently drilling a fourth well on the Pawelek lease, all located in Karnes County. The Sickenius well was recently completed and has just begun to flow back following hydraulic fracturing operations. We anticipate that the wells on the Danysh and Pawelek leases will be completed and placed on production during the second quarter of 2012. Our current plans are to run one rig continuously in the eastern portion of the Eagle Ford play throughout 2012.

Haynesville (Northwest Louisiana)

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company averaged natural gas production of 32.3 million cubic feet per day from the Haynesville shale in Northwest Louisiana. The Company also ended 2011 with average natural gas production of 32.3 million cubic feet per day from the


Haynesville, of which approximately one-third was operated and two-thirds was non-operated production. The Company does not plan to drill any operated Haynesville wells in 2012, but has budgeted capital expenditures of approximately $13 million for its anticipated participation in approximately 1.5 net non-operated wells that are likely to be drilled in order to hold expiring acreage or that may be proposed in multi-well development programs to evaluate optimal well spacing. During the first quarter of 2012 to date, the Company has agreed to participate in 7 gross (0.2 net) wells, which is consistent with our expectations.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depletion, depreciation and amortization, property impairments, unrealized derivative gains and losses, non-recurring income and expenses and non-cash stock-based compensation expense, including stock option and grant expense and restricted stock grants. Adjusted EBITDA is a not a measure of net income or net cash flows as determined by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is 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. “GAAP” means Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components of understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure. Our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. The following tables present our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measures of net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities.
