SilverBow Resources, Inc. (NYSE: SBOW) (“SilverBow” or “the Company”) today announced operating and financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2022. Highlights include:
- Reported net production of 315 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day (“MMcfe/d”) (66% natural gas) for the fourth quarter of 2022; oil and natural gas liquids (“NGL”) production above the high end of guidance. Oil and gas revenue increased 31% year-over-year driven by increased production and higher commodity prices
- Recorded net income of $173 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $119 million and free cash flow (“FCF”) of $2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. For full year 2022, SilverBow recorded net income of $340 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $393 million and FCF of $22 million. Adjusted EBITDA and FCF are non-GAAP measures defined and reconciled in the tables below
- Delivered double digit year-over-year growth for full year net production, net income and Adjusted EBITDA for the second year in a row as SilverBow continues to efficiently scale through successful development activity and acquisitions
- Capital expenditures of $328 million, on an accrual basis, below the midpoint of guidance as the Company continues to deliver on planned costs and offset service cost inflation through operational efficiencies
- Closed four accretive acquisitions during 2022 which significantly increased SilverBow's production, year-end reserves and progress towards key scale targets. Acquisitions and leasing activity in 2022 added over 350 gross drilling locations across a balanced commodity mix spanning the Eagle Ford Shale and Austin Chalk
- High quality inventory of drilling locations at year-end 2022 provides over 10 years of development at a two-rig pace
- Borrowing base under the Company's senior secured revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) of $775 million at year-end 2022, an increase of $315 million or 68% year-over-year
- Year-end 2022 total debt of $692 million. Leverage ratio of 1.35x1 at year-end 2022, while also funding approximately $370 million in cash for acquisitions under the Company's Credit Facility
- Full year 2022 return on capital employed (“ROCE”) of 24%; three-year average ROCE of 19% from 2020 to 2022. ROCE is a non-GAAP measure defined and reconciled in the tables below
- Year-end 2022 total estimated proved reserves were 2.2 trillion cubic feet of gas equivalent (“Tcfe”) (43% proved developed; 77% natural gas), a Standardized Measure of $4.0 billion and a pre-tax present value of future net cash flows discounted at 10% (“PV-10 Value,” a non-GAAP measure) of $5.0 billion utilizing Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pricing. Proved reserves, Standardized Measure and PV-10 Value increased 58%, 154% and 173% year-over-year, respectively
2023 Capital Program and Guidance:
- Full year estimated production of 325 - 345 MMcfe/d, representing a 24% increase year-over-year and a compound annual growth rate of more than 20% since full year 2020; third consecutive year of double digit growth
- Full year capital program of $450-$475 million with two rigs dedicated to oil development, in accordance with SilverBow's strategy of allocating capital towards highest return projects given prevailing commodity prices; maintaining flexibility to adjust as commodity prices dictate
- Based on 2023 capital budget and operating plan, full year oil production is expected to increase by 100% year-over-year; focus on developing acquired assets and expanding oil inventory through Austin Chalk delineation
- Increased oil and NGL production as a percentage of total production to drive higher cash margins per Mcfe; liquids production expected to comprise approximately 40%-50% of total production by year-end 2023
- As of February 24, 2023, SilverBow had 89% of 2023 gas volumes hedged based on the midpoint of full year guidance
MANAGEMENT COMMENTS
Sean Woolverton, SilverBow’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In 2022, SilverBow continued to execute on its growth strategy through the drillbit and accretive acquisitions to increase scale while remaining leverage neutral. The four accretive acquisitions we closed during the year significantly expanded our production base and high-return inventory, with an emphasis on oil locations. Additionally, we achieved positive results with our Webb County Austin Chalk delineation efforts where we delivered some of the highest returning wells in our portfolio and have identified inventory upside. In total, our borrowing base increased by nearly 70% during the year, and our proved reserves and PV-10 value increased by 58% and 173% year-over-year, respectively. At year-end 2022, our SEC PV-10 value was $5.0 billion reflecting organic development and the aforementioned acquisitions. It was an exceptional year for SilverBow and we are excited about the many opportunities ahead."
Mr. Woolverton commented further, “Core to SilverBow's strategy is operational flexibility and allocating capital to our highest returning projects. Given the relative strength of oil prices compared to natural gas prices, we intend to operate two rigs dedicated to oil development in 2023. Our strategy of pivoting between oil and gas development has been a key differentiator for us and has allowed us to generate an average ROCE of 19% over the last three years during volatile pricing and operating environments. We will continue maximizing return on capital with repeatable execution and flexible capital allocation."
OPERATIONS HIGHLIGHTS
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company drilled 15 net wells, completed 13 net wells and brought 11 net wells online. For full year 2022, SilverBow drilled 45 net wells, and completed 39 net wells and brought online 37 net wells. SilverBow operated one drilling rig for the first six months of 2022, primarily focused on its Webb County Gas area. Then, in conjunction with closing the Sundance acquisition on June 30, 2022, the Company added a second drilling rig and continued operating at a two-rig drilling pace through the end of 2022. SilverBow targeted both oil and gas opportunities throughout the second half of the year, and in the fourth quarter of 2022 operated both rigs in its Webb County Gas area. The Company expects to remain operationally flexible going forward and will continue to optimize its drilling program in response to commodity prices and expected returns.
In the Webb County Gas area, SilverBow drilled 24 net wells and completed and brought 20 net wells online during 2022. The Austin Chalk formation was a key focus area of the Company's delineation and development plan, and comprised 15 of the 24 net wells drilled in the area during 2022. Well performance in the Webb County Austin Chalk continues to exceed expectations and exhibit strong commercial economics, and during the third quarter of 2022, SilverBow completed and brought online its best performing Austin Chalk well to date with a 30-day average production of 17 million cubic feet per day (“MMcf/d”) (100% gas). In 2022, the Company drilled and completed multi-well pads that targeted both the Austin Chalk and Eagle Ford formations, which supported SilverBow's expectations for high rate of return potential in full-scale development mode, and marks a progression from the single well delineation pads targeting the Austin Chalk in prior years. Additionally, the Company focused on expanding its Webb County and Austin Chalk position during the year with the establishment of a new acreage block within Webb County, comprising ~7,500 net acres through a series of bolt-on acquisitions, leasing and drill-to-earn agreements.
For the full year 2022, SilverBow's capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, on an accrual basis were $327.5 million, below the midpoint of the Company's full year guidance range of $320 to $340 million. Throughout 2022, the Company experienced inflationary pressures on its capital and operating expenses as a result of high demand for products, materials and services provided by vendors in conjunction with overall supply chain disruptions and tight labor market conditions. The SilverBow team took actions to mitigate the impact of these inflationary cost pressures through enhanced procurement initiatives, pre-ordering of key materials and a focus on operational efficiencies and planning. The mid-year increase from one drilling rig to two drilling rigs supported increased scale and achieved even better overall cycle-times. This enhanced activity provided greater line of sight to secure available service equipment at favorable contract rates. In aggregate, the Company's drilling and completion (“D&C”) costs during the year were within 1% of planned costs for the year due to the cost mitigation efforts and operational efficiencies delivered by the team.
SilverBow closed four acquisitions in 2022. The acquired assets provide SilverBow a deep runway of future oil and gas development locations in the Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk. The Company added more than 350 gross drilling locations from acquired assets in 2022, with further inventory upside potential based on optimization of well costs, spacing and lateral lengths given the highly contiguous leasehold footprints with SilverBow's existing acreage. The acquisition activity in 2022 reflects a continued focus on identifying opportunities to add to core positions in high-return areas.
PRODUCTION VOLUMES, OPERATING COSTS AND REALIZED PRICES
SilverBow's total net production for the fourth quarter of 2022 averaged 315 MMcfe/d, within the Company's guidance range. Production mix for the fourth quarter consisted of 66% natural gas, 21% crude oil and 13% NGLs. Natural gas comprised 50% of total oil and gas sales for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 63% in the fourth quarter of 2021.
For the fourth quarter of 2022, lease operating expenses (“LOE”) were $0.63 per thousand cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (“Mcfe”). Transportation and processing expenses (“T&P”) were $0.35 per Mcfe and production and ad valorem taxes were 5.8% of oil and gas revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022. Total production expenses, which include LOE, T&P and production taxes, were $1.38 per Mcfe for the fourth quarter of 2022. Net general and administrative (“net G&A”) expenses for the fourth quarter were $6.6 million or $0.23 per Mcfe. After deducting $1.2 million of non-cash compensation expenses, cash general and administrative (“cash G&A”, a non-GAAP measure) expenses were $5.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, or $0.19 per Mcfe.
Crude oil and natural gas realizations in the fourth quarter of 2022 were 99% and 84% of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) and Henry Hub, respectively, excluding hedging. The average realized natural gas price, excluding the effect of hedging, was $5.24 per thousand cubic feet of natural gas (“Mcf”) in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $5.64 per Mcf in the fourth quarter of 2021. The average realized crude oil selling price, excluding the effect of hedging, was $81.80 per barrel in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $75.65 per barrel in the fourth quarter of 2021. The average realized NGL selling price in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $24.25 per barrel (29% of WTI benchmark), compared to $32.82 per barrel (43% of WTI benchmark) in the fourth quarter of 2021. Please refer to the tables included in this news release for production volumes and pricing information.

The SEC prices used for reporting the Company's year-end 2022 estimated proved reserves, which have been adjusted for basis and quality differentials, were $6.14 per Mcf for natural gas, $34.76 per barrel for natural gas liquids and $94.36 per barrel for crude oil compared to $3.75 per Mcf, $25.29 per barrel, and $63.98 per barrel in 2021.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
SilverBow reported total oil and gas sales of $199.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company reported net income of $173.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, which includes a net unrealized gain on the value of SilverBow's derivative contracts and WTI contingency payouts of $117.8 million. For full year 2022, the Company reported net income of $340.4 million.
For the fourth quarter of 2022, SilverBow reported Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) of $119.1 million and FCF (a non-GAAP measure) of $2.3 million. For full year 2022, SilverBow reported Adjusted EBITDA of $393.1 million and FCF of $21.5 million. For full year 2022, the Company reported Adjusted EBITDA for Leverage Ratio (a non-GAAP measure) of $511.4 million, which, in accordance with the Leverage Ratio calculation in its Credit Facility, includes pro forma contributions from acquired assets prior to their closing dates totaling $118.3 million.
Capital expenditures incurred during the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $102.7 million on an accrual basis. For full year 2022, capital expenditures totaled $327.5 million on an accrual basis.
2023 CAPITAL PROGRAM
SilverBow's 2023 capital budget range is $450-$475 million (approximately 90% allocated to D&C activity). The budget provides for 60 gross (52 net) operated wells drilled, compared to 47 gross (45 net) operated wells drilled in 2022. The Company expects to operate two drilling rigs throughout 2023 (as compared to a 1.5 rig average in 2022) with approximately 95% of D&C activity directed towards oil development across its Central Oil, Eastern Extension and Western Condensate areas. The emphasis on oil drilling is a returns-based decision based on a number of factors including the relative strength of oil prices versus natural gas prices, and the limited visibility into Webb County takeaway capacity in 2023. The budget supports production growth of approximately 25% year-over-year funded by cash flows from operations.
2023 GUIDANCE
For the first quarter of 2023, the Company is guiding to total net production of 295 - 316 MMcfe/d, with expected oil volumes of 10,500 - 11,500 Bbls/d. For full year 2023, SilverBow is guiding to total net production of 325 - 345 MMcfe/d, with expected oil volumes of 13,750 - 15,000 Bbls/d. The two-rig focus on oil development throughout 2023 should accelerate the Company's production mix toward a more balanced split between natural gas and liquids. Under its current 2023 development program, SilverBow's full year oil production is expected to increase by 100% year-over-year. Furthermore, by the fourth quarter 2023, the Company's liquids production is expected to comprise nearly 45% of total production. Due to a combination of constrained takeaway capacity and lower natural gas prices, SilverBow is producing at contracted firm pipeline capacity and has elected to defer completion activity in Webb County until 2024. The Company's first quarter 2023 and full year 2023 production guidance assume that gas production from Webb County is limited to contracted firm pipeline capacity. Additional detail concerning SilverBow's first quarter and full year 2023 guidance can be found in the table included in this news release and the most recent Corporate Presentation posted to the Investor Relations section of the Company's website.
HEDGING UPDATE
Hedging continues to be an important element of SilverBow's strategy to provide greater predictability of cash flow. The Company's hedging program is structured to provide exposure to higher commodity prices while also protecting against periods of low prices. As of February 24, 2023, SilverBow had 73% of total production hedged for full year 2023, using the midpoint of guidance. For 2023, the Company has 179 MMcf/d (89% of guidance) of natural gas production hedged at an average price of $3.84 per million British thermal units, 7,291 Bbls/d (51% of guidance) of oil hedged at an average price of $74.19 per barrel and 3,750 (46% of guidance) Bbls/d of NGLs hedged at an average price of $33.01 per barrel. For 2023, SilverBow has secured gas basis hedges on 157 MMcf/d to mitigate further risk. For 2024, the Company has 118 MMcf/d of natural gas production hedged and 3,032 Bbls/d of oil hedged. SilverBow's hedges consist of both swaps and collars with the average price factoring in the floor price of the collars. Please see the Company's Corporate Presentation and Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which SilverBow expects to file on Thursday, March 2, 2023, for a detailed summary of its derivative contracts.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND LIQUIDITY

Definition of Non-GAAP Measures as Calculated by the Company (Unaudited)
The following non-GAAP measures are presented in addition to financial statements as SilverBow believes these metrics and performance measures are widely used by the investment community, including investors, research analysts and others, to evaluate and useful in comparing investments among upstream oil and gas companies in making investment decisions or recommendations. These measures, as presented, may have differing calculations among companies and investment professionals and may not be directly comparable to the same measures provided by others. A non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measure or any other measure of a company's financial or operating performance presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure or measures is presented below. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA: The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA attributable to common stockholders in addition to reported net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) plus (less) depreciation, depletion and amortization, accretion of asset retirement obligations, interest expense, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, net losses (gains) on commodity derivative contracts, amounts collected (paid) for commodity derivative contracts held to settlement, income tax expense (benefit); and share-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that SilverBow believes affect the comparability of operating results, including items that are generally non-recurring in nature or whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Adjusted EBITDA is used by the Company's management and by external users of SilverBow's financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and others, to assess the Company's operating performance as compared to that of other companies, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis. It is also used to assess SilverBow's ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is important as it is considered among the financial covenants under the Company's First Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and certain lenders party thereto (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), a material source of liquidity for SilverBow. Please reference the Company's 2022 Form 10-K for discussion of the Credit Agreement and its covenants.
Adjusted EBITDA for Leverage Ratio: In accordance with the Leverage Ratio calculation for SilverBow's Credit Facility, the Company makes certain adjustments to its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for Leverage Ratio is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA (defined above) plus (less) amortization of derivative contracts and pro forma EBITDA contributions related to closed acquisitions. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA for Leverage Ratio is useful to investors because it reflects the last twelve months EBITDA used by the administrative agent for SilverBow's Credit Facility in the calculation of its leverage ratio covenant.
Cash General and Administrative Expenses: Cash G&A expenses is a non-GAAP measure calculated as net general and administrative costs less share-based compensation. The Company reports cash G&A expenses because it believes this measure is commonly used by management, analysts and investors as an indicator of cost management and operating efficiency on a comparable basis from period to period. In addition, SilverBow believes cash G&A expenses are used by analysts and others in valuation, comparison and investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas industry to allow for analysis of G&A spend without regard to stock-based compensation which can vary substantially from company to company. Cash G&A expenses should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, total G&A expenses.
Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA (defined above) plus (less) monetized derivative contracts, cash interest expense, capital expenditures and current income tax (expense) benefit. The Company believes that free cash flow is useful to investors and analysts because it assists in evaluating SilverBow's operating performance, and the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and gas industry. SilverBow uses this information as one of the bases for comparing its operating performance with other companies within the oil and gas industry. Free cash flow should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. From time to time the Company provides forward-looking free cash flow estimates or targets; however, SilverBow is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure because the items necessary to estimate such forward-looking GAAP measure are not accessible or estimable at this time without unreasonable efforts. The reconciling items in future periods could be significant.
Net Debt: Net debt is calculated as the total principal amount of second lien notes plus borrowings on the Company's Credit Facility less cash and cash equivalents.
Return on Capital Employed (“ROCE”): ROCE is defined as (A) Adjusted EBITDA less DD&A expense, divided by (B) the average of Capital Employed - Beginning of Year (Total Debt plus Shareholders Equity) and Capital Employed - Year-End. SilverBow believes ROCE presents a comparable metric across multiple business sectors and sizes and is a meaningful measure because it quantifies how well the Company generates Adjusted EBITDA relative to the capital it has employed in its business and illustrates the profitability of a business or project taking into account the capital employed. SilverBow uses ROCE to assist in capital resource allocation decisions and in evaluating business performance. Additionally, the Company also evaluates average ROCE over a trailing three-year period to adjust for short term (one year) fluctuations and illustrate profitability over a longer time period. Although ROCE is commonly used as a measure of capital efficiency, definitions of ROCE differ, and SilverBow's computation of ROCE may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
