The unaudited financial statements are presented in their entirety in the appendix of this release.
To facilitate a clearer representation of first-quarter 2021 performance, all results presented hereinafter are pro forma for the combination resulting from the corporate reorganization and initial public offering as if the transactions occurred on January 1, 2020.
Financial and Operational Highlights
-
Generated $145 million of adjusted EBITDAX and $20 million of Adjusted Free Cash Flow
-
Incurred capital of $98 million, or 68% of adjusted EBITDAX
-
Announced 2021 capital guidance, which is projected to yield average annual production of approximately 1 Bcf per day (net) while generating substantial Adjusted Free Cash Flow
-
Continued to demonstrate progress toward the Company’s objective to reduce methane and greenhouse gas intensity
Reflecting on the quarter, Eric Marsh, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our initial public offering begins a sequel in Vine’s short but exciting history, and it was undoubtedly the most transformational quarter since 2014 when the company was created by the acquisition of our Haynesville asset. Following the combination of three successful companies, Vine today holds a strategic position in the Haynesville Basin and we have the size, scale and balance sheet to generate significant levered free cash flow and return capital to our shareholders, while concurrently upholding our longstanding commitment to safety and environmental stewardship.”
Mr. Marsh continued, “Though there are many new things about us, our core identity hasn’t changed. Most notably, we have about 25 years of high-quality inventory that supports our ability to create free cash flow longevity, and our operating team is one of the most highly skilled, technical collection of professionals in the industry. We harbor the institutional knowledge and technology which allows us to drill some of the most economic natural gas wells in North America. We believe we can eclipse past milestones as we reach new drilling and completion efficiencies, drive down capital intensity and operating expenses, and deliver on our expectations. Along the way, I believe improving natural gas fundamentals will hasten our bid to substantially increase the value of the company while holding production steady.”

Production increased 86 MMcfd compared to the prior year quarter due to new wells brought online, improved operational efficiencies and exceptional PDP performance. However, production was negatively impacted by 28 MMcfd averaged over the first quarter due to winter storm Uri in February 2021 that forced temporary well curtailments.
Average realized price, including realized gain/loss on derivatives, was $2.34 per Mcf, $0.05 per Mcf lower compared to the prior year quarter, as follows:

Total operating expense, excluding DD&A, strategic and exploration expense, and the non-cash gain on the gathering liability, decreased $0.03 per Mcf compared to the prior year quarter. Lease operating expense was impacted by costs related to winter storm Uri and higher produced water volume, while cash gathering expense benefited from a step down in the contractual rate in September 2020. G&A expense was lower by $0.02 due to the June 2020 reduction in force and operating leverage on higher production volume.

Adjusted EBITDAX in the first-quarter 2021 was $145 million compared to $136 million in the prior year quarter, or approximately 73% of revenue, excluding unrealized derivative losses, in both periods. The increase was largely due to higher production volume, partially offset by lower average realized prices. With the sum of capital incurred and cash interest essentially flat year-over-year, Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $20 million compared to $12 million in the prior year quarter.
Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the appendix of this release for a definition of Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted Free Cash Flow and related disclaimers.
Operating Results
Development and completion capital incurred in the first-quarter 2021 was $92 million to drill 7 gross (6.2 net) wells and complete 11 gross (10.4) net wells, while other field capital was $6 million related to the buildout of the Company’s water gathering and disposal infrastructure, midstream, leasing and other miscellaneous investments.

Guidance: Prioritizing Free Cash Flow Generation and Debt Reduction
Vine’s 2021 guidance was developed to prioritize free cash flow generation and debt reduction. Average annual production is expected to be 10 – 12% higher compared to 2020 as the Company targets a one-time step-up to its optimal, long-term production goal of 1 Bcf per day.
Approximately 60% of expenditures associated with the 2021 capital program are expected to be incurred in the first six months of 2021. The program is expected to target 250,000 to 260,000 net feet of completed lateral while drilling and completion costs are expected in the range of $1,180 to $1,210 per lateral foot.

Financial Position and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2021, total debt outstanding was $1.1 billion, consisting of $28 million outstanding under the 1st lien RBL, $150 million outstanding under the 2nd lien term loan, and $910 million of legacy unsecured notes issued by Vine Oil & Gas LP as the predecessor entity. Settlement of the newly issued $950 million, 6.75% 2029 senior unsecured notes did not occur until April 7, 2021. Liquidity was $389 million, in the form of cash on hand and availability under the Company’s $350 million RBL, less a $26 million letter of credit.
As of April 30, 2021, total debt outstanding was $1.2 billion, consisting of $73 million outstanding under the 1st lien RBL, $150 million outstanding under the 2nd lien term loan, and $950 million of 6.75% senior unsecured notes due 2029. Liquidity was $334 million.
In early May 2021, liquidity was enhanced by $13 million following the partial release (50%) of an outstanding letter of credit.
Hedging Update
Vine routinely utilizes commodity swaps and options to protect its development program and increase the predictability of future cash flows. As of March 31, 2021, approximately 90% of forecasted average production for April to December 2021 is hedged at a weighted average price of $2.53 per MMBtu.
The Company also engages in firm sales agreements with high-quality counterparties to effectively hedge the price received for natural gas sales at local gathering hubs. Approximately 55% of forecasted average production for April to December 2021 is presold, as follows: 30% at a weighted average price of $0.16 per MMBtu under NYMEX and 25% at $0.01 per MMBtu over Columbia Mainline.
Refer to appendix of this release for a quarterly schedule of the Company’s commodity derivative and firm sales portfolios.
Environmental, Social and Governance
Vine is committed to operating in a manner that protects the welfare of people, the environment, wildlife, and local communities. The Company proudly produces 100% natural gas to meet global demand for cleaner, sustainable, and reliable energy, while concurrently preserving ecosystems for future generations. Since 2017, Vine predecessors have reduced methane intensity by 62% and greenhouse gas intensity by 35%, with plans to realize further reductions.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF VINE ENERGY INC.
(Reconciliation)
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We define Adjusted EBITDAX as our net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and accretion, unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, exploration expense, strategic expense, and other non-cash operating items. We believe Adjusted EBITDAX is a useful performance measure because it allows for an effective valuation of our operating performance when compared against our peers, without regard to our financing methods, corporate form, or capital structure.
