Eric Greager, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bonanza Creek, commented, “We’re encouraged with our development performance to date, and are raising our annual production guidance to a range of 22 to 24 MBoe per day with this release. Our capex in the first quarter was light versus our plan, but we paced ahead of schedule in the second quarter. Our capex year-to-date is in line with our full year expectations, having invested approximately 52% of the mid-point of our annual guidance. We’re also excited to share results from our Whitetail well, which we drilled on our Northern acreage in late 2018. The well has been performing in line with our Eastern XRL type curve, and along with the Pronghorn B-28 pad, continues to demonstrate the quality of our acreage.”
Second Quarter 2019 Results
During the second quarter of 2019, the Company reported average daily sales of 24.4 MBoe/d. Product mix for the quarter was 62% oil, 16% NGLs, and 22% residue natural gas. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company drilled 17 gross (11.2 net) operated wells, seven of which were extended reach lateral (“XRL”) wells, and completed 19 gross (17.0 net) operated wells. As planned, there were no wells turned to sales during the second quarter. The company expects to turn 23 gross (20.4 net) wells to sales during the third quarter.

(2) Results for three months ended are for Wattenberg only. Please see tables in the back of this press release and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 7, 2019 for total Company operating statistics for the 2018 period.
Net oil and gas revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was $85.8 million compared to $72.6 million for the first quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily a result of increased production and higher oil realizations, partially offset by lower natural gas and NGL realized prices. Crude oil accounted for approximately 87% of total revenue for the quarter. Differentials for the Company’s oil production during the quarter averaged approximately $5.90 per barrel off of NYMEX WTI.
LOE for the second quarter of 2019 on a unit basis decreased by 1% to $2.87 per Boe from $2.91 per Boe in the first quarter of 2019 and is in line with full year 2019 guidance of $2.75 to $3.25 per Boe. Additionally, RMI operating expenses for the second quarter were $1.22 per Boe compared to $1.24 per Boe in first quarter of 2019, also in line with the Company’s expectations and full year guidance of $1.10 to $1.40 per Boe.
The Company’s general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $9.8 million for the second quarter of 2019, which included $1.8 million in non-cash stock-based compensation. Cash G&A, which excludes stock-based compensation, of $8.0 million for the second quarter was down from $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2019. On a per unit basis, the Company’s Cash G&A decreased 24% sequentially from $4.77 per Boe in the first quarter to $3.61 per Boe in the second quarter.
Cash G&A is a non-GAAP measure. Please see Schedule 7 at the end of this release for a reconciliation from GAAP G&A to cash G&A.
Oil began flowing through the Company’s new oil gathering line to the Riverside Terminal in late July. The Company’s oil differential will benefit from a $1.25 to $1.50 reduction for barrels flowing through the line. The first oil sales from the line occurred in early August. Oil volumes flowing through the line will build through the remainder of 2019, but not all of the Company’s oil sales will flow through the new line. The Company’s oil differential guidance of $4.25 to $5.25 per barrel for the year contemplates the improved differential and expectations of oil sales through the line for the remainder of the year.

Schedule 5: Adjusted Net Income
(in thousands, except per share amounts, unaudited)
Adjusted net income is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management to present recurring profitability that is more comparable between periods by excluding items that are non-recurring in nature or items which are not easily estimable. Management believes adjusted net income provides external users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts, investors, creditors, and rating agencies with additional information to assist in their analysis of the Company. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income after adjusting first for (1) the impact of certain non-cash items and one-time transactions and then (2) the non-cash and one-time items’ impact on taxes based on a tax rate that approximates the Company’s effective tax rate in each period. Adjusted net income is not a measure of net income as determined by GAAP.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income to the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted net income.

Schedule 6: Adjusted EBITDAX
(in thousands, unaudited)
Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management to provide a metric of the Company’s ability to internally generate funds for exploration and development of oil and gas properties. The metric excludes items which are non-recurring in nature and/or items which are not reasonably estimable. Management believes adjusted EBITDAX provides external users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies with additional information to assist in their analysis of the Company. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAX as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, impairment, exploration expenses and other similar non-cash and non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income (loss) or cash flows as determined by GAAP.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDAX.

Schedule 7: Recurring Cash G&A
(in thousands, unaudited)
Recurring cash G&A is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management to provide only the cash portion of its G&A expense, which can be used to evaluate cost management and operating efficiency on a comparable basis from period to period. Management believes recurring cash G&A provides external users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies with additional information to assist in their analysis of the Company. The Company defines recurring cash G&A as GAAP general and administrative expense exclusive of the Company’s stock based compensation and one-time charges. The Company refers to recurring cash G&A to provide typical recurring cash G&A costs that are planned for in a given period. Recurring cash G&A is not a fully inclusive measure of general and administrative expense as determined by GAAP.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of general and administrative expense to the non-GAAP financial measure of recurring cash G&A.
