HOUSTON, Nov. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Amplify Energy Corp. (NYSE: AMPY) (“Amplify” or the “Company”) announced today its operating and financial results for the third quarter of 2023 and additional disclosures.
Strategic Updates
As Amplify continues to evolve, we are pleased to announce the following near-term strategic initiatives:
1) Bairoil Marketing Process – Amplify has engaged an investment banking firm to conduct a market test of its Bairoil assets. The Company will pursue a complete sale of the assets while also considering alternative monetization structures that would maximize the value of the assets for Amplify’s shareholders. The marketing process will commence in the first quarter of 2024.
2) Beta Development Program – Amplify has conducted an in-depth technical review of the undeveloped potential in the Beta field and has decided to commence a Beta development program in the first half of 2024. The Company estimates it can drill and complete wells for approximately $5 – 6 million with IRRs that exceed 100% at current oil pricing.
3) Magnify Energy Services – The Company has created a wholly owned subsidiary, Magnify Energy Services, to provide a variety of oilfield services to Amplify-operated wells. Beginning in East Texas and Oklahoma, Magnify is providing compression, well-testing and other well maintenance services. Over time, Amplify may expand Magnify’s capabilities into other service lines and operating areas. Amplify believes Magnify will improve the Company’s profitability by providing services at a lower cost than current alternatives, while allowing the Company to have greater access to and control over these critical services.
Martyn Willsher, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Amplify has made tremendous strides in 2023 in laying the foundation for unlocking substantial value from our mature, diversified portfolio of cash-flow generating assets. The return of production at Beta, substantial reduction in debt outstanding, and our new credit facility have enabled us to pursue additional opportunities to greatly enhance shareholder value. To that end, we are excited to announce several strategic initiatives.
First, we intend to commence a development program in the Beta field, which retains significant upside for the Company and is expected to increase profitability and operating margins in the coming years. Second, the Company intends to launch a marketing process for its low-decline oil-producing assets in Bairoil, Wyoming while also exploring alternative monetization structures to maximize value potential. Portfolio optimization will enable the Company to further reduce leverage and potentially accelerate Amplify’s ability to return capital to shareholders. Third, we have created a wholly owned subsidiary to insource certain field compressors and service equipment, which will allow us to capture value through efficiencies, reduced costs and greater control over operating expenses.”

Mr. Willsher commented, “Amplify’s third quarter results were in line with internal projections and included the impact of the planned Bairoil turnaround in September. The Company was able to accelerate the first phase of cost saving initiatives at Beta which should materially reduce future operating expenses. We believe these efforts, in addition to our low leverage, further cost savings initiatives and accretive asset investments, will bolster profitability and enhance our cash-flow generation, which we expect to materially increase in 2024 and beyond.”
Mr. Willsher concluded, “We are also pleased to present Amplify Energy’s inaugural sustainability report, which provides increased transparency to our stakeholders regarding our business and operating practices. This report details our safety procedures, environmental performance, efforts to enhance the long-term sustainability of our business, and dedication to sound corporate governance. We are committed to continuing to improve our disclosures and providing updates on our sustainability milestones.”
Key Financial Results
During the third quarter of 2023, the Company reported a net loss of approximately $13.4 million compared to $9.8 million of net income in the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily attributable to non-cash unrealized losses on commodity derivatives from rising commodity prices during the period.
Amplify generated $19.5 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter, an increase of approximately $1.9 million from $17.6 million in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to higher realized commodity prices.
Free cash flow, defined as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest and capital spending, was $6.1 million for the third quarter of 2023.

Inaugural Sustainability Report
The Company issued its inaugural sustainability report, which is available on its website, www.amplifyenergy.com, under the “Sustainability” tab.
The report provides information about Amplify’s environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) initiatives, practices and related metrics.
Revolving Credit Facility
On October 19, 2023, Amplify completed the regularly scheduled semi-annual redetermination of its borrowing base, which was reaffirmed at $150 million with elected commitments of $135 million. The next regularly scheduled borrowing base redetermination is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2024.
As of October 31, 2023, Amplify had net debt of $104 million, consisting of $120 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility and $16 million of cash on hand. Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA was 1.2x (net debt as of October 31, 2023 and 3Q23 LTM Adjusted EBITDA).
Corporate Production and Pricing Update
During the third quarter of 2023, average daily production was approximately 20.6 MBoepd, a decrease of 3% from 21.2 MBoepd in the second quarter. This decrease was primarily due the planned turnaround at Bairoil (where the field was shut-in for 10 days to perform maintenance and facility improvements), significant flash flooding at Bairoil that impacted operations for several days, and short-term production interruptions at Beta to implement cost savings initiatives. The Company’s product mix for the quarter was 38% crude oil, 18% NGLs, and 44% natural gas.

Total oil, natural gas and NGL revenues for the third quarter of 2023 were approximately $76.4 million, before the impact of derivatives, compared to $67.4 million in the prior quarter. The Company realized a loss on commodity derivatives of $3.9 million during the quarter, compared to a $1.5 million gain in the previous quarter. Oil and gas revenues, net of realized hedges, increased $3.6 million for the third quarter compared to the second quarter.

Costs and Expenses
Lease operating expenses in the third quarter of 2023 were approximately $37.1 million, or $19.55 per Boe. Operating expenses were $2.2 million higher than second-quarter operating expenses, primarily due to returning the Beta field to production and increased costs associated with the flooding event at Bairoil.
Severance and Ad Valorem taxes in the third quarter were approximately $4.9 million, a decrease of $0.3 million compared to $5.2 million in the prior quarter. Severance and Ad Valorem taxes as a percentage of revenue were approximately 6.5% this quarter compared to 7.7% in the previous quarter.
Amplify incurred $5.0 million, or $2.63 per Boe, of gathering, processing and transportation expenses in the third quarter, compared to $5.1 million, or $2.67 per Boe, in the previous quarter.
Third quarter cash G&A expenses were $6.5 million, an increase of $0.3 million from $6.2 million in the second quarter. We expect cash G&A to remain flat in the fourth quarter.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for the third quarter totaled $7.5 million, or $3.95 per Boe, compared to $7.1 million, or $3.67 per Boe, in the prior quarter.
Net interest expense was $4.5 million this quarter, an increase of $0.8 million from $3.7 million in the second quarter. This increase was primarily due to writing off $0.7 million associated with the prior credit facility.
Amplify recorded a current income tax expense of $1.4 million for the third quarter.
Capital Investment Update
Cash capital investment during the third quarter of 2023 was approximately $9.7 million, a $1.8 million increase from $7.9 million in the prior quarter. The majority of capital investment this quarter was related to workover and facility projects at Beta and the planned turnaround at Bairoil.
The following table details Amplify’s capital incurred during the quarter:

The Company’s capital investments for the remainder of 2023 will focus primarily on well workovers in addition to facility projects at Beta which will improve operational efficiencies, reduce power expenses and significantly reduce emissions.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and net debt. The accompanying schedules provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Amplify’s non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, net cash flows provided by operating activities, standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Amplify’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate such measures in the same manner as Amplify does.
Adjusted EBITDA. Amplify defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss, plus interest expense; income tax expenses; depreciation, depletion and amortization; accretion of asset retirement obligations; losses on commodity derivative instruments; cash settlements received on expired commodity derivative instruments; share-based compensation expenses; exploration costs; loss on settlement of AROs; bad debt expense; pipeline incident loss; acquisition and divestiture related costs; and LOPI-timing differences. Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by management and external users of Amplify’s financial statements, such as investors, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (1) its operating performance as compared to other companies in Amplify’s industry without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis; (2) the ability of its assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest and support Amplify’s indebtedness; and (3) the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. Since Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies, the Adjusted EBITDA data presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA are net income and net cash provided by operating activities.
Free cash flow. Amplify defines free cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash interest expense and capital expenditures. Free cash flow is an important non-GAAP financial measure for Amplify’s investors since it serves as an indicator of the Company’s success in providing a cash return on investment. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to free cash flow are net income and net cash provided by operating activities.
Net debt. Amplify defines net debt as the total principal amount drawn on the revolving credit facility less cash and cash equivalents. The Company uses net debt as a measure of financial position and believes this measure provides useful additional information to investors to evaluate the Company’s capital structure and financial leverage.
