HOUSTON, Aug. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Amplify Energy Corp. (NYSE: AMPY) (“Amplify,” the “Company,” “us,” or “our”) announced today its operating and financial results for the second quarter of 2024.
Key Highlights
- During the second quarter of 2024, the Company:
- Achieved average total production of 20.3 MBoepd
- Generated net cash provided by operating activities of $15.4 million and net income of $7.1 million
- Delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $30.7 million
- Generated $9.2 million of free cash flow
- Drilled and completed the A50 development well at Beta. The A50 well, which came on-line in early June, achieved a peak IP30 oil rate of approximately 730 Bopd (gross) and exceeded Company projections. Amplify expects the well to pay out in approximately 4 months.
- The Company is updating its 2024 guidance primarily as the result of better than expected second quarter results and the Company’s election to participate in non-operated development wells in East Texas and the Eagle Ford
- Amplify received multiple bids for both an outright sale and partial monetization of its Bairoil asset in Wyoming. The Company, working with its advisors, continues to evaluate these proposals and will provide updates as they become available
- As of June 30, 2024, net debt was $117.5 million, consisting of $118.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $0.5 million of cash and cash equivalents
- Net Debt to Last Twelve Months (“LTM”) Adjusted EBITDA of 1.2x1
(1) Net debt as of June 30, 2024, and LTM Adjusted EBITDA as of the second quarter of 2024
Martyn Willsher, Amplify’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Amplify again delivered strong operating and financial results for the second quarter, while also continuing the tremendous progress on our key strategic initiatives. At Beta, we successfully drilled and completed the A50 well on time and under budget. The 30-day peak IP rate of 730 barrels of oil per day exceeded our expectations, and based on early results and current commodity prices, we anticipate the A50 will pay out in approximately four months. The performance of the A50 is a testament to the team’s exceptional planning and execution, which we intend to capitalize on for our future development wells. We are scheduled to drill two wells in the third quarter on the Eureka platform before returning to the Ellen platform later this year. We believe a successful development program at Beta has the potential to materially increase cash flows and improve the long-term value of the asset.”
Mr. Willsher further stated, “We continue to evaluate proposals and options regarding the monetization of our Wyoming assets. While we are encouraged by the interest received to date, the Company is committed to pursuing the path it believes will maximize shareholder value.”
Mr. Willsher concluded, “As I have indicated previously, I am confident that the initiatives Amplify is actively pursuing this year can be transformative for the Company. The progress we have made through the first half of 2024 has reinforced our confidence in our ability to execute on these initiatives and drive increased shareholder value.”
Key Financial Results
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company reported net income of approximately $7.1 million compared to a net loss of $9.4 million in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to lower non-cash unrealized losses on commodity derivatives during the period compared to the prior period.
Amplify generated $30.7 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter, an increase of approximately $5.8 million from $24.9 million in the prior quarter. Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA benefited from a one-time $7.0 million accounting adjustment related to the release of suspense from prior quarters. Further detail on the adjustment can be found at the end of this release and in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Free cash flow was $9.2 million for the second quarter, an increase of $6.9 million versus the prior quarter. Amplify has now generated positive free cash flow in 16 of the last 17 fiscal quarters.

Revolving Credit Facility
As of June 30, 2024, Amplify had net debt of $117.5 million, consisting of $118.0 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility and $0.5 million of cash and cash equivalents. Net debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA was 1.2x (net debt as of June 30, 2024 and 2Q24 LTM Adjusted EBITDA). Second quarter net debt increased slightly from the prior quarter due to expected changes in working capital and increased activity (primarily at Beta). The next regularly scheduled borrowing base redetermination is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Corporate Production and Pricing
During the second quarter of 2024, average daily production was approximately 20.3 Mboepd, which was in-line with the previous quarter. The Company benefitted from a one-time prior-period accounting adjustment that added approximately 1.2 Mboepd, which was offset by multiple flooding events in East Texas that limited access to wells and resulted in prolonged shut-ins. The Company’s product mix for the quarter was 41% crude oil, 19% NGLs, and 40% natural gas, excluding the impact from the one-time accounting adjustment.

Total oil, natural gas and NGL revenues for the second quarter of 2024 were approximately $72.3 million, before the impact of derivatives. The Company realized a gain on commodity derivatives of $3.7 million during the second quarter. Oil, natural gas and NGL revenues, net of realized hedges, decreased $3.6 million for the second quarter compared to the prior quarter.

Costs and Expenses
Lease operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024 were approximately $36.3 million, or $19.70 per Boe, a $2.0 million decrease compared to the prior quarter. This decrease was primarily due to increased costs related to scheduled maintenance and other routine annual expenses in the first quarter. Lease operating expenses also do not reflect $0.9 million of income generated by Magnify Energy Services.
Severance and Ad Valorem taxes in the second quarter were approximately $4.6 million, a decrease of $0.3 million compared to $4.9 million in the prior quarter. Severance and Ad Valorem taxes as a percentage of revenue were approximately 6.4% this quarter compared to 6.5% in the prior quarter.
Amplify incurred $4.9 million, or $2.66 per Boe, of gathering, processing and transportation expenses in the second quarter, compared to $4.8 million, or $2.59 per Boe, in the prior quarter.
Second quarter cash G&A expenses were $6.6 million, a decrease of $1.3 million from the prior quarter and in-line with expectations. This decrease was primarily due to year-end processes that impacted various cost drivers annually in the first quarter and a one-time cost associated with the early termination of our Tulsa office lease. The Company anticipates that quarterly cash G&A expenses will remain at approximately this same level throughout the remainder of 2024.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for the second quarter totaled $7.8 million, or $4.25 per Boe, compared to $8.2 million, or $4.47 per Boe, in the prior quarter.
Net interest expense was $3.6 million for the second quarter, an increase of $0.1 million from $3.5 million in the prior quarter.
Amplify recorded current income tax expense of $0.6 million for the second quarter.
Capital Investments
Cash capital investment during the second quarter of 2024 was approximately $18.0 million. During the second quarter, the Company’s capital allocation was approximately 90% for Beta facility projects and development drilling, with the remainder distributed across the Company’s other assets.
The following table details Amplify’s capital invested during the second quarter 2024:
| Second Quarter | Year to Date | ||||||
| 2024 Capital | 2024 Capital | ||||||
| ($ MM) | ($ MM) | ||||||
| Bairoil | $ | 0.0 | $ | 1.5 | |||

| Magnify Energy Services | $ | 0.3 | $ | 1.0 | |||
| Total Capital Invested | $ | 18.0 | $ | 37.1 | |||
The majority of the Company’s capital investments for the remainder of 2024 will be allocated to Beta to continue the development program and complete the electrification and emissions reduction infrastructure project, which are currently underway. Additionally, the Company has elected to participate in several non-operated drilling opportunities comprised of 14 gross (0.7 net) new development wells and 2 gross (0.4 net) recompletion projects in the Eagle Ford and 4 gross (1.0 net) wells in East Texas. In total, Amplify expects to invest $7 – 9 million in these non-operated opportunities. As a result, the Company is updating guidance to reflect these elections and now expects to invest $60 – 65 million in 2024. These non-operated development projects are expected to provide additional volumes and cash flow in early 2025.
Beta Development and Facility Upgrade Update
In the second quarter, the Company successfully drilled and completed the A50 well from the Ellen platform in less than 30 days and brought it on-line in early June. The A50 was completed laterally in the prolific D-Sand and achieved a peak IP-30 oil rate of approximately 730 Bopd. Rates from the well after approximately 2 months of production were in excess of 650 Bopd. Total capital costs for the well were approximately $4.2 million. At current oil prices, we are projecting a 4-month payback on this investment.
For the third quarter, the Company is moving its drilling operations to the Eureka platform. Amplify will first drill the C59 well (also targeting the D-Sand), which is expected to be online in the third quarter. The Company intends to drill a second well from Eureka platform before returning to platform Ellen late in the fourth quarter. Amplify then anticipates finishing the A45 well, which was deferred earlier in the year.
During the second quarter, the Company continued the third and final phase of the electrification and emissions reduction project at Beta, which involves installing selective catalytic reducers on the platform generators and rig engines. This multi-year facility project is scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024, within the compliance deadline as prescribed by district air quality regulations.
Updated Full-Year 2024 Guidance
Based on better than expected results in the first half of the year and our decision to participate in non-operated drilling opportunities in East Texas and the Eagle Ford, the Company is providing updated guidance for 2024. The following guidance is subject to the cautionary statements and limitations described under the “Forward-Looking Statements” caption at the end of this press release. Amplify’s updated 2024 guidance is based on its current expectations regarding capital investment and full-year 2024 commodity prices for crude oil of $76/Bbl (WTI) and natural gas of $2.25/MMBtu (Henry Hub), and on the assumption that market demand and prices for oil and natural gas will continue at levels that allow for economic production of these products. Additionally, the Company expects to invest 85% to 95% of its capital in the first three quarters of the year primarily in connection with the Beta development program and the one-time electrification and emissions reduction facility project.

(3) Amplify believes that a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP cannot be made available without unreasonable efforts. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures would require Amplify to predict the timing and likelihood of future transactions and other items that are difficult to accurately predict. Neither of these forward-looking measures, nor their probable significance, can be quantified with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures is not provided.
Hedging
In the second quarter, Amplify added oil and natural gas hedges. Amplify executed 2026 natural gas swaps at a weighted-average price of $3.88 per MMBtu and natural gas collars with a floor of $3.62 per MMBtu and a ceiling of $4.27 per MMBtu. Amplify also executed crude oil swaps for 2025 at a weighted-average price of $74.10 per barrel.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net debt, and cash G&A. 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 (loss) plus Interest expense; Income tax expense (benefit); DD&A; Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets (including oil and natural gas properties); Accretion of AROs; Loss or (gain) on commodity derivative instruments; Cash settlements received or (paid) on expired commodity derivative instruments; Amortization of gain associated with terminated commodity derivatives; Losses or (gains) on sale of assets and other, net; Share-based compensation expenses; Exploration costs; Acquisition and divestiture related expenses; Reorganization items, net; Severance payments; and Other non-routine items that we deem appropriate. 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.
Cash G&A. Amplify defines cash G&A as general and administrative expense, less share-based compensation expense; acquisition and divestiture costs; bad debt expense; and severance payments. Cash G&A is an important non-GAAP financial measure for Amplify’s investors since it allows for analysis of G&A spend without regard to share-based compensation and other non-recurring expenses which can vary substantially from company to company. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to cash G&A is total G&A expenses.
