HESS REPORTS ESTIMATED RESULTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2017

 

First Quarter Highlights:

Net loss was $324 million, or $1.07 per common share, compared with a net loss of $509 million, or $1.72 per common share, in the first quarter of 2016

Oil and gas production exceeded guidance; total production was 307,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), excluding Libya; Bakken production was 99,000 boepd

Hess Midstream Partners LP launched its initial public offering (IPO) in the first quarter of 2017; net proceeds from the upsized offering of approximately $350 million ($175 million attributable to Hess Corporation) were received in April 2017

Another oil discovery on the Stabroek block, offshore Guyana (Hess 30 percent) was confirmed at the Snoek well located approximately five miles southeast of the Liza-1 discovery

E&P capital and exploratory expenditures were $393 million, down 28 percent from $543 million in the prior-year quarter  

Cash and cash equivalents were $2.7 billion at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016

 

NEW YORK, April 26, 2017 — Hess Corporation (NYSE: HES) today reported a net loss of $324 million, or $1.07 per common share, in the first quarter of 2017 compared with a net loss of $509 million, or $1.72 per common share, in the first quarter of 2016.  The first quarter 2017 results were improved as higher realized crude oil selling prices and lower operating costs and exploration expenses more than offset the change in deferred income taxes and lower production volumes.

“Production momentum returns to our portfolio starting in the second half of 2017, underpinned by the Bakken, the North Malay Basin and Stampede developments, and offshore Guyana, one of the industry’s largest oil discoveries in the past 10 years,” Chief Executive Officer John Hess said. “With more than a decade of visible production growth, our company is well positioned to deliver compelling long-term value for our shareholders.”

Exploration and Production:

The Exploration and Production net loss in the first quarter of 2017 was $233 million compared to a net loss of $453 million in the first quarter of 2016.  The Corporation’s average realized crude oil selling price, including the effect of hedging, was $48.58 per barrel in the first quarter of 2017, up from $28.50 per barrel in the year-ago quarter.  The average realized natural gas liquids selling price in the first quarter of 2017 was $18.71 per barrel, versus $7.44 per barrel in the prior-year quarter, while the average realized natural gas selling price was $3.20 per mcf compared with $3.42 per mcf in the first quarter of 2016.

Excluding production from Libya, pro forma net production in the first quarter of 2017 was 307,000 boepd, compared to 350,000 boepd in the first quarter of 2016.  Lower volumes were due to a reduced drilling program across our portfolio, natural field declines and lower entitlement in Asia.  Net production in Libya, which recommenced in the fourth quarter of 2016, was 4,000 boepd in the first quarter of 2017.

Operational Highlights for the First Quarter of 2017:

Bakken (Onshore U.S.):  Net production from the Bakken averaged 99,000 boepd, which exceeded guidance due to strong well performance, despite negative operational impacts from severe winter weather.  The Corporation operated an average of two rigs in the first quarter, drilling eleven wells and bringing eight new wells online.  A third rig was added in March and a fourth rig was added in April.  We plan to add two additional rigs in the fourth quarter to end the year with six rigs.

2

 


Gulf of Mexico (Offshore U.S.):  Net production from the Gulf of Mexico was 66,000 boepd compared to 69,000 boepd in the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting lower production at the Conger and Shenzi fields.  At the Stampede development (Hess operated - 25 percent), the first production well was completed, preparatory work for platform installation was finalized, and the second rig commenced drilling operations in February.  First production is expected in the first half of 2018.

North Malay Basin Full-field Development (Offshore Malaysia): At the North Malay Basin project (Hess operated - 50 percent), the topsides for the central processing platform were shipped from the fabrication yard to the field and installed on the platform.  Commissioning of the central processing platform is underway. The fourteenth and final well of the Phase I development drilling campaign was completed in the current quarter.  The floating, storage, and offloading vessel is currently expected to be transported to the field in the second quarter.  Production is expected to commence in the third quarter.

Guyana (Offshore):  At the Stabroek Block (Hess 30 percent), operated by Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited, results from the Snoek well confirmed another oil discovery on the block, located approximately 5 miles (9 kilometers) southeast of the Liza-1 discovery well.  The Snoek well encountered more than 82 feet (25 meters) of high-quality, oil-bearing sandstone reservoirs.  The co-venture partners continue to evaluate the resource potential on the broader Stabroek Block and the operator is currently drilling the Liza-4 appraisal well.

Midstream:

Effective January 1, 2017, the Midstream segment includes our interest in a Permian Basin gas plant in West Texas and related CO2 assets, and water handling assets in North Dakota.  These assets are wholly-owned by the Corporation and are not included in our Hess Infrastructure Partners (HIP) joint venture, which is 50 percent owned by Hess.  The Midstream segment had net income of $18 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $16 million in the prior-year quarter.

In the first quarter of 2017, Hess Midstream Partners LP (the Partnership), launched its IPO of common units with net proceeds of approximately $350 million ($175 million attributable to Hess Corporation) received upon completion of the offering in April.  The Partnership owns a 20 percent interest in the joint venture assets, with the remaining 80 percent interest held by HIP.  Hess Corporation owns approximately 35 percent of the Partnership, including its indirect ownership of the general partner through HIP.

Capital and Exploratory Expenditures:

Exploration and Production capital and exploratory expenditures were $393 million in the first quarter of 2017, down 28 percent from $543 million in the prior-year quarter, reflecting our reduced work program in response to the low commodity price environment.  

Midstream capital expenditures were $28 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $36 million in the prior-year quarter.

Liquidity:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $349 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to a net use of cash from operating activities of $60 million in the first quarter of 2016.  Net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities was $443 million in the first quarter of 2017, up from $148 million in the year-ago quarter.  At March 31, 2017, the Corporation had cash and cash equivalents of $2,686 million and total debt, excluding the Midstream segment, of $6,054 million.  The Corporation’s debt to capitalization ratio was 30.8 percent at March 31, 2017 and 30.4 percent at December 31, 2016.

Forward-looking Statements

Certain statements in this release may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements, including, without limitation, uncertainties inherent in the measurement and interpretation of geological, geophysical and other technical data.  Estimates and projections contained in this release are based on the Corporation’s current understanding and assessment based on reasonable assumptions.  Actual results may differ materially from these estimates and projections due to certain risk factors discussed in the Corporation’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other factors.

Non-GAAP financial measure

The Corporation has used a non-GAAP financial measure in this earnings release.  “Net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities” is defined as Cash provided by operating activities excluding changes in operating assets and liabilities.  Management believes that net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities demonstrates the Corporation’s ability to internally fund capital expenditures, pay dividends and service debt.  This measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, which includes changes in operating assets and liabilities.  A reconciliation of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (U.S. GAAP) to net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities is provided in the release.
