THIRD QUARTER 2013 REPORT - Pine Cliff Energy

32
MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS Pine Cliff Energy Ltd. is pleased to report its results for the third quarter of 2013. Highlights during the quarter are as follows: Closed two significant acquisitions. The first acquisition was an additional interest in the Monogram unit on July 24, 2013 which added approximately 1,600 boe/d of production. The second included the purchase of additional interests in, and more importantly the assumption of operatorship of, our Southern Alberta and Southern Saskatchewan assets on August 30, 2013. This acquisition added approximately 850 boe/d of production; Achieved record oil and gas sales volumes of 5,784 boe/d, a 546% increase over the same period in 2012, mainly as a result of our acquisitions; and Generated quarterly funds flow from operations of $3.0 million, an increase of 582% when compared to the third quarter of 2012, despite having extremely low natural gas prices. Business Strategy and Environment Natural gas prices have shown limited recovery in 2013 and demonstrated increased volatility in the third quarter as AECO prices averaged $2.43 per mcf as compared to $3.52 per mcf in the second quarter of 2013. Prices have increased to an average price of $3.25 per mcf in October but remain volatile. This depressed pricing environment continues to favour our strategy of making counter‐cyclical, gas weighted acquisitions as we continue to believe that there are greater returns available in purchasing existing production than drilling at this time. Subsequent to quarter end, we completed a common share issuance for gross proceeds of $20.0 million which eliminated Pine Cliff’s bank debt and increased our financial flexibility for further acquisitions. It remains a “buyer’s market” for natural gas assets and with our increased size, strong balance sheet and access to capital we have a competitive advantage over many of the other prospective bidders. We remain active in assessing available private and public sales processes and as always, we will maintain our discipline in seeking opportunities which will create value with strong per share growth. Although in the short‐term we believe that natural gas prices will continue to fluctuate, we remain convinced that over time we will see an increasing recovery in pricing. Key indicators supporting this outlook include: strong forecasted natural gas demand growth in U.S. power generation and industrial sectors; increasing exports of U.S. gas to Mexico; increased usage by Alberta oil sands producers; conversion to natural gas from coal; and overseas natural gas markets that are contending with both insufficient LNG supply and increasing demand growth. As a result, we anticipate natural gas prices will eventually increase as demand is placed on U.S. and Canadian producers to bring more supply to market while maintaining appropriate storage levels. Building a Strong Asset Base Leveraged to Natural Gas Price Recovery Over the past two years, we have pursued a counter‐cyclical strategy of acquiring properties that are characterized by low decline rates (our current corporate decline rate is approximately 15%) and low cost production while maintaining a low corporate overhead to provide Pine Cliff with strong funds flow leverage to any natural gas price recovery. Using our third quarter 2013 volumes annualized for twelve months, a Cdn $0.10 increase per mcf in AECO pricing would improve annual funds flow from operations by $1.1 million. With this type of leverage, even a limited natural gas price recovery can significantly improve financial results and shareholder value. Pine Cliff is currently producing approximately 6,200 boe/d (week ended November 2, 2013) with approximately 500 boe/d of production being deferred as a result of dew point issues and maintains its 2013 average daily production guidance at 4,350 to 4,850 boe/d. Capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2013 were $7.1 million. We remain focused on maintaining our strong financial position and plan to fully fund the 2013 capital expenditure budget of $10.8 million from funds flow from operations. Our drilling program in 2013 has been limited to a few strategic targets resulting in increased production and an improved understanding of our asset base. The majority of our drilling locations will be inventoried until natural gas prices recover at which time we intend to initiate a more substantive drill program, providing additional upside for shareholders. Outlook The foundation of Pine Cliff’s business strategy continues to be value creation through strong per share cash flow and reserves growth, conservative fiscal management and capital discipline. Management and insiders hold approximately 20% of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis and therefore continue to be highly aligned with shareholder interests. We remain dedicated to executing our company strategy and look forward to capitalizing on additional opportunities to add further value on behalf of investors. Thank you for your continued support. Phil Hodge President and Chief Executive Officer November 12, 2013 Please refer to the attached Management’s Discussion and Analysis for Reader Advisories regarding forwardlooking information, nonIFRS measures and oil and gas measurements. This Message to Shareholders should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Pine Cliff Energy Ltd. together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, which can be found on www.sedar.com, and is subject to the same cautionary statements as set out therein.
