Caut utiona nary Statem emen ent Regarding Forw rward rd-Lo Looki king Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are identified by the use of the words “project,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “contemplate,” “foresee,” “would,” “could,” “plan,” and similar expressions that are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are not historical in nature. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on Sundance. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting Sundance will be those that are anticipated. Sundance’s forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond Sundance’s control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from Sundance’s historical results and present expectations or projections. These include, but are not limited to, risks or uncertainties associated with negotiations with our lenders and strategic processes, our previously completed redomiciliation (including the ability to recognize any benefits therefrom), the discovery and development of oil and natural gas reserves, cash flows and liquidity, business and financial strategy, budget, projections and operating results, oil and natural gas prices, amount, nature and timing of capital expenditures, including future development costs, availability and terms of capital and general economic and business conditions, including the continued impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, which speak
- nly as of the date of this presentation. Forward-looking statements also are affected by the risk factors described in Sundance’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2019 and those set forth from time-to-time in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Sundance undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Non-GAAP AAP Fina nanc ncial Mea easures es
This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures, including net debt, EBITDAX and adjusted EBITDAX, PV-10, cash operating costs and free cash flow. We define net debt as total principle amount of long-term debt liabilities less cash and cash equivalents. We define EBITDAX as consolidated net income (loss) less the impact of interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”), exploration expenses and other noncash charges and income (including stock-based compensation, and unrealized gains and loss on derivative instruments). We define adjusted EBITDAX as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, DD&A, property impairments, gain/(loss) on sale of non-current assets, exploration expense, stock-based compensation, gains and losses on commodity hedging, net of settlements of commodity hedging and certain other non-cash or non-recurring income/expense items. We define PV-10 as estimated future net cash flows from estimated proved reserves discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent before the giving effect to income taxes. We define cash operating costs as lease operating expense (including workover expense), gathering, processing and transportation expense, production taxes and general and administrative, excluding stock-based compensation and redomiciliation and transaction related expenses. We define free cash flow as EBITDA less cash interest less cash CapEx. Sundance believes that these metrics are useful because they allow Sundance to more effectively evaluate its operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period and against its peers without regard to financing methods or capital structure. Sundance does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to similar financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, and non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, which are included in our SEC filings. Additionally, the computation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures are available in the Appendix. to this presentation.
Oil and nd Gas Reser erves ves
The SEC generally permits oil and gas companies, in filings made with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves, which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms. Sundance discloses only estimated proved reserves in its filings with the SEC. Sundance's estimated proved reserves (including those of its consolidated subsidiaries) as of December 31, 2019 referenced in this presentation were prepared by Ryder Scott Company, L.P., an independent engineering firm (“Ryder Scott”), and comply with definitions promulgated by the SEC. Additional information on the Company’s estimated proved reserves is contained in the Company’s filings with the SEC. This presentation also contains the Company’s internal estimates of its potential drilling locations, which may prove to be incorrect in a number of material ways. Actual number of locations that may be drilled may differ substantially. This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities.
