- Second Quarter Production Up 14% From First Quarter Levels. Lonestar reported a 14% increase in net oil and gas production to 11,855 BOE/d during the three months ended June 30, 2021 (“2Q21”), compared to 10,377 BOE/d for the three months ended March 31, 2021 (“1Q21”). Production was comprised of 73% crude oil and NGL’s on an equivalent basis. Lonestar’s development program continues to deliver significant increases in production, with July production rates averaging 13,500 BOE/d.
- Adjusted Net Income Was $10.7 Million, or $1.07 Per Share. While Lonestar reported a net loss attributable to its common stockholders of $17.8 million, or ($1.77) per share in 2Q21 compared to a net loss of $6.3 million in 1Q21, Lonestar’s adjusted net income for 2Q21 was $10.7 million, or $1.07 per share. Adjusted net income excludes, on a tax-adjusted basis, certain items that the Company does not view as either recurring or indicative of its ongoing financial performance. Most notable among these items include: a $29.1 million unrealized hedging loss on financial derivatives (“mark-to-market”). Please see Non-GAAP Financial Measures at the end of this release for the definition of Adjusted Net Income (Loss), a reconciliation of net loss before taxes to Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and the reasons for its use.
- Lonestar Reported 2Q21 Adjusted EBITDAX of $23.7 Million. 2Q21 Adjusted EBITDAX increased 3% over 1Q21 adjusted EBITDAX of $22.9 million. Improved wellhead price realizations and reduced cash expenses positively impacted 2Q21 results. However, 2Q21’s Adjusted EBITDAX was negatively impacted by $10.8 million of hedge losses realized in the quarter while 1Q21’s result were negatively impacted by $5.4 million of realized hedge loss. Please see Non-GAAP Financial Measures at the end of this release for the definition of Adjusted EBITDAX, a reconciliation of net loss attributable to common stockholders to Adjusted EBITDAX, and the reasons for its use.

Lonestar’s Discretionary Cash Flow of $19.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, which is a 4% increase over $19.1 million generated in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Lonestar spent $38.4 million on capital expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 2021. Please see Non-GAAP Financial Measures at the end of this release for the definition of Discretionary Cash Flow, a reconciliation of net loss attributable to common stockholders to Free Cash Flow, and the reasons for its use.
Lonestar’s Chief Executive Officer, Frank D. Bracken, III commented, “Our 2021 capital program continues to generate robust growth in production and cash flow, and the front-end loaded nature of that program is expected to yield significant Free Cash Flow in the second half of the year.”
OPERATIONAL UPDATE
- Production-Lonestar reported net oil and gas production of 11,855 BOE/d during the three months ended June 30, 2021, representing a 14% increase quarter-over-quarter. 2Q21 production volumes consisted of 6,224 barrels of oil per day (53%), 2,409 barrels of NGLs per day (20%), and 19,332 Mcf of natural gas per day (27%). Since year-end, Lonestar has placed onstream a three-well pad at Hawkeye (50% WI) and two two-well pads at Horned Frog (100% WI).
- Pricing-Lonestar’s Eagle Ford Shale assets continued to deliver favorable wellhead realizations in 2Q21. Lonestar’s wellhead crude oil price realization was $64.21/bbl, which reflects a discount of $2.10/bbl vs. West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”). Lonestar’s realized NGL price was $22.53/bbl, or 34% of WTI. Lonestar’s realized wellhead natural gas price was $2.68 per Mcf, reflecting a $0.26 discount to Henry Hub.
- Revenues-Wellhead revenues increased by $6.2 million to $46.0 million in 2Q21, or 16%, compared to 1Q21, primarily driven by a 15% increase in oil price realizations.
- Expenses-Total cash expenses, which include the cash portions of lease operating, gathering, processing, transportation, production taxes, general & administrative, and interest expenses were $18.2 million. 2Q21 cash operating costs increased by 10%, compared to $16.5 million in 1Q21, in conjunction with higher production volumes. When measured on a unit-of-production basis, total cash costs were reduced by 4% from $17.66 per BOE to $16.90 per BOE. Adjusted for non-recurring items discussed below, total cash expenses were $16.0 million, or $14.84 per BOE.
- Lease Operating Expenses (“LOE”), which includes workover expenses, showed improvement on an absolute dollar basis and a per-unit basis. Lease operating expenses were $3.9 million for 2Q21, which was 12% lower than LOE of $4.4 million in 1Q21. Moreover, LOE per BOE was reduced by 23%, from $4.76 per BOE in 1Q21 to $3.65 per BOE in 2Q21.
- Gathering, Processing & Transportation Expenses (“GP&T”) for 2Q21 were $1.5 million, which remained stable when compared to GP&T of $1.5 million in the three months ended 1Q21. On a unit-of-production basis, GP&T decreased 15% quarter over quarter from $1.65 per BOE in 1Q21 to $1.41 per BOE in 2Q21.
- Production & Ad Valorem Taxes for 2Q21 were $2.5 million, which was relatively flat compared to production taxes of $2.4 million in 1Q21. On a unit-of-production basis, production and ad valorem taxes decreased 11% quarter over quarter $2.59 per BOE in 1Q21 to $2.31 per BOE in 2Q21.
- General & Administrative ("G&A") expenses were $5.9 million, or $5.53 per BOE in 2Q21 compared to $3.97 million, or $4.26 per BOE in 1Q21. Adjusted for non-recurring expenses such as severance costs and stock-based compensation G&A for 2Q21 was $3.4 million, or $3.18 per BOE.
- Interest Expense was $4.3 million for 2Q21, up 5% from $4.1 million in 1Q21. On a unit-of-production basis, interest expense was reduced from $4.40 per BOE in 1Q21 to $4.01 per BOE in 1Q21. Lonestar expects continued reductions in interest expense per BOE, as the Company reduces long-term debt and increases production.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (Unaudited)
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDAX
Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAX as net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders before depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, exploration costs, non-recurring costs, loss (gain) on sales of oil and natural gas properties, impairment of oil and gas properties, stock-based compensation, interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, rig standby expense, other income (expense), unrealized (gain) loss on derivative financial instruments and unrealized (gain) loss on warrants.
Management believes Adjusted EBITDAX provides useful information to investors because it assists investors in the evaluation of the Company’s operating performance and comparison of the results of the Company’s operations from period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. The Company excludes the items listed above from net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders in arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX to eliminate the impact of certain non-cash items or because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within its industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders as determined in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDAX. The Company’s computations of Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAX to the GAAP financial measure of net loss attributable to common stockholders for each of the periods indicated.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)
Adjusted net (loss) income comparable to analysts’ estimates as set forth in this release represents income or loss before income taxes adjusted for certain non-cash items (detailed in the accompanying table) less income taxes. We believe adjusted net (loss) income is calculated on the same basis as analysts’ estimates and that many investors use this published research in making investment decisions and evaluating operational trends of the Company and its performance relative to other oil and gas producing companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted Net (Loss) Income to the GAAP financial measure of net loss before taxes for each of the periods indicated.

Discretionary Fee Cash Flow (“DCF”)
Discretionary cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities. Management believes that the non-US GAAP measure of discretionary cash flow is useful as an indicator of an oil and natural gas exploration and production company's ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur additional debt. The company has also included this information because changes in operating assets and liabilities relate to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements which the company may not control and may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred. Operating cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net cash provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
