DENVER, Oct. 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Extraction Oil & Gas, Inc. (NASDAQ: XOG) (“Extraction”) today announced that Elevation Midstream, LLC (“Elevation”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, has begun moving crude oil, natural gas and water through its Badger central gathering facility (“CGF”). Extraction also provided 2020 capital budget guidance for Elevation.

“We are pleased to announce this milestone achievement for Elevation as we now have crude oil, natural gas and water volumes flowing from the first wells on our Interchange pad in Broomfield in addition to wells from the nearby Coyote Trails pad to the Badger CGF via our pipeline gathering system,” said Extraction President and Acting CEO Matt Owens. “We expect Elevation’s volumes to grow considerably over the years as Extraction continues to focus much of its development activities in Broomfield and the surrounding areas served by Elevation.”

“As we fine tune our upstream budget and forecast a relatively small Elevation capital budget next year, we expect Extraction to be free cash flow positive1 on a fully consolidated basis beginning in fourth-quarter 2019 and continuing in 2020.”

Elevation 2020 Capital Budget Guidance
Elevation’s planned 2020 capital budget is expected to be $30 – $40 million, including its investment in unconsolidated affiliates, that will be used to expand the pipeline gathering system to reach additional pads and associated volumes into Badger.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Extraction’s free cash flow is not a measure of net income (loss) as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Extraction’s free cash flow is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define Extraction’s free cash flow as Discretionary cash flow less Net cash flow provided (used) by investing activities. We define Discretionary cash flow (Non-GAAP) as Net cash flows provided by operating activities (GAAP) less Exploration expenses and changes in working capital (current assets and liabilities).

Management believes free cash flow for Extraction is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. Our computations of free cash flow for Extraction may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We believe that free cash flow for Extraction is a widely followed measure of operating performance. Additionally, our management team believes free cash flow for Extraction is useful to an investor in evaluating our financial performance because this measure (i) is widely used by investors in the oil and natural gas industry to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such term, among other factors, (ii) help investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our capital structure from our operating structure and (iii) is used by our management team for various purposes, including as a measure of operating performance, in presentations to our board of directors, as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.
