MIDLAND, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ring Energy, Inc. (NYSE American: REI) (“Ring”)(“Company”) announced today financial results for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2018. For the three month period ended December 31, 2018, the Company reported oil and gas revenues of $27,561,908, compared to revenues of $23,308,668 for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, the Company reported oil and gas revenues of $120,065,361, compared to $66,699,700 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, Ring reported a net loss of $7,079,308, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4,509,935, or $0.08 per fully diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2017. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, the Company reported net income of $8,999,760, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1,753,869, or $0.03 per fully diluted share for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2017.

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the net income included a pre-tax “Realized Loss on Derivatives” of $4,553,476, an “Unrealized Gain on Derivatives” of $6,424,910, a non-cash charge for stock-based compensation of $779,598 and a ceiling test impairment of $14,172,309. Excluding these items, the net income per diluted share would have been $0.07.

Excluding these items, the net income per diluted share would have been $0.47.

The Company believes results excluding these items are more comparable to estimates provided by security analysts and, therefore, are useful in evaluating operational trends of the Company and its performance, compared to other similarly situated oil and gas producing companies.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, oil sales volume increased to 2,047,295 barrels, compared to 1,311,727 barrels for the same period in 2017, a 56% increase, and gas sales volume increased to 1,112,177 MCF, compared to 761,517 MCF for the same period in 2017, a 46% increase.

The average commodity prices received by the Company were $49.62 per barrel of oil and $2.05 per MCF of natural gas for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, compared to $53.16 per barrel of oil and $3.35 per MCF of natural gas for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. On a BOE basis for the three month period ended December 31, 2018, the average price received was $46.44.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depletion and other non-cash items (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018 was $10,973,726, or $0.18 per fully diluted share, and $66,481,825, or $1.09 per fully diluted share, compared to $14,584,307 and $40,618,071, or $0.26 and $0.77 in 2017.

The Company announced today that its estimated total proved reserves of oil and natural gas as of December 31, 2018 increased 14.6% to 36.6 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE), from 31.9 million BOE at year end 2017, and 21.5% when adjusted for 2018 oil and gas sales. Ring replaced 308% of production in 2018. The 2018 year-end proved reserves consisted of 27.8 million barrels of crude oil (76%) and 52.8 Bcf of natural gas (24%). Of the 36.6 million BOE of total proved reserves, 67% are proved developed and 33% are proved undeveloped. The proved developed reserves consist of proved developed producing (61%) and proved developed non-producing (6%).

The estimated present value, using a 10% discount rate, of the future net cash flows before income taxes (“PV-10”) of the Company’s proved oil and natural gas reserves as of December 31, 2018 was $541.6 million, using year-end average received pricing of $58.74 per barrel for oil and $3.26 per Mcf for natural gas. These estimates were audited by the independent engineering firm of Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc., Fort Worth, Texas.
