Missed Expectations
Now, let’s take a deeper look at what went
wrong…

Key Quote:
"Although the team worked tirelessly through the weather conditions, the
impact on our operations was of a meaningful enough size that we
believed it to be prudent to reset our full year production guidance."
-CEO Lynn Peterson

Deeper Look
Just one problem – While all of its Bakken Shale focused peers complained about the weather, no one else missed production guidance. In fact, some of
its peers thrived in spite of the weather.

Beneath the Surface
"During the first quarter of 2014, nearly a third of our completed operated wells were drilled in our
Wildrose area of northern Williams County to hold acreage. This is an area with a thinner
reservoir section and less source rock that results in lower reservoir pressures and less gas, and
corresponding lower production rates and reserves.”
-CEO Lynn Peterson

Cause for Concern?
Possibly – Kodiak Oil & Gas had been rapidly growing its production. However, this year it reduced its
capex plan for the first time.
What to watch – Future well results need to at least meet expectations or it could signal its
remaining acreage is of poor quality.

Missed Expectations
• Analysts’ earnings expectations: $2.47 per share• Chevron’s earnings: $0.11 per share• Missed by: $0.11 per share or 4.4%

Key Quote:
Crude prices were tempered by global economic factors, while our current
year production volumes were affected by weather-related, unplanned
downtime, particularly in Kazakhstan.”-CEO John Watson

Deeper Look
Nothing really stood out in Chevron’s quarter. Production growth remains on
track to increase 20% by 2017.

Cause for Concern?
Not really- This is why the stock only fell about 1% after the
results were announced. Not only that but Chevron’s stock has since recovered and is now up 2% as investors have moved past their initial
disappointment.

Missed Expectations

share• Beat by: $0.01 per share or 1%

Key Quote:
In discussing the backlog for new rig-technology equipment CEO Clay
Williams noted that he foresaw the company’s backlog dropping from the
first quarter record of $16.3 billion to a range of $14 billion to $15 billion by the
end of the year.

Deeper Look
This surprised analysts. In a Bloomberg article one analyst said, “I didn’t think it’d be that much lower.”
While another noted, “the newbuild market is starting to show signs of
shakiness.”

Cause for Concern?
Not really –National Oilwell Varco is in the middle of the
early growth phases of the offshore market place as well as shale. It’s something that investors
initially missed. This also explains why the stock has recovered
the bulk of its losses.

Key Takeaway
Not all earnings’ disappointments are true disappointments. Both Chevron and National Oilwell Varco look poised to move past their
rough first quarter. On the other hand, investors do need to pay close
attention to Kodiak Oil & Gas. Continued disappointments could signal a deeper issue at
the company.
