SLIDE 23 Forward Looking Statements and Cautionary Statements
Forward-Looking Statements The information in this present ation includes “ forward-looking statements” that are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private S ecurities Lit igation Reform Act of 1995. All statements,
- ther than st atements of historical fact included in t his presentation, regarding our strategy, future operat ions, financial posit ion, est imated revenues and losses, proj ected costs, prospects, plans and
- bj ectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this presentat ion, the words “ could,” “ believe,” “ anticipate,” “ intend,” “ est imate,” “ expect,” “ proj ect” and similar expressions
are int ended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such ident ifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on Parsley Energy, Inc.’ s (“ Parsley Energy,” “ Parsley,” or the “ Company” ) current expect ations and assumptions about fut ure event s and are based on currently available information as to t he outcome and t iming of future
- events. We caut ion you that these forward-looking statements are subj ect to all of t he risks and uncertaint ies, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to
the exploration for and development, product ion, gathering and sale of oil and natural gas. These risks include, but are not limited to, commodit y price volatility, inflation, lack of availability of drilling and product ion equipment and services, environmental risks, drilling and other operating risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating reserves and in proj ecting future rat es of production, the product ion potent ial of our undeveloped acreage, cash flow and access to capit al, the t iming of development expenditures and the risk factors discussed in or referenced in our filings with the United S tates S ecurities and Exchange Commission (“ S EC” ), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentat ion. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation. Our production forecasts and expect ations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells and the undertaking and outcome
- f future drilling activity, which may be affected by significant commodity price declines or cost increases.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adj usted EBITDAX and adj usted net income or loss are financial measures that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in t he United S t ates (“ GAAP” ). Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures can be found in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in t he appendix t o t his present at ion. Industry and Market Data This presentat ion has been prepared by Parsley and includes market data and other st atist ical information from third-party sources, including independent industry publicat ions, government publicat ions
- r other published independent sources. Although Parsley believes these third-party sources are reliable as of t heir respect ive dates, Parsley has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness
- f this information. S
- me data are also based on the Parsley’ s good faith estimates, which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the third-party sources described above.
Oil & Gas Reserves Parsley’ s proved reserves are t hose quant it ies of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be est imated wit h reasonable certainty to be economically producible— from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under exist ing economic condit ions (using unweighted average 12-month first day of the month prices), operat ing methods, and government regulations— prior to t he t ime at which contracts providing the right to operat e expire, unless evidence indicat es that renewal is reasonably cert ain, regardless of whether det erminist ic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. Proved reserves attributable to Parsley as of 12/ 31/ 15 are est imated ut ilizing S EC reserve recognition standards and pricing assumptions based on S EC pricing of $46.79 / Bbl crude, $2.501 / MMBtu gas, and adj usted realized pricing of $46.54 / Bbl crude, $16.42 / Bbl NGL, and $2.531 / Mcf residue gas. References to our est imated proved reserves as of 12/ 31/ 15 are derived from our proved reserve report prepared by Netherland, S ewell & Associates, Inc. (“ NS AI” ). We may use the term “ expected ult imate recoveries” (“ EURs” ) or other descript ions of volumes of reserves, which terms include quant it ies of oil and gas that may not meet the S EC’ s definit ions of proved, probable and possible reserves, and which the S EC's guidelines strictly prohibit Parsley from including in filings with the S EC. Unless otherwise stat ed in this presentat ion, such est imates have been prepared internally by our engineers and management without review by independent engineers. These est imates are by their nature more speculat ive than estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subj ect to substant ially greater risk of being act ually realized, part icularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history. We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the Company. Actual locations drilled and quant it ies that may be ult imately recovered from our properties will differ substant ially. In addition, we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations. Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions, t he impact of future oil and gas pricing, exploration and development costs, and our fut ure drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk, returns and t he availability of capital and, in many areas, t he outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adj acent or fractional int erest leases. Our estimates may change significantly as development of our properties provides additional data and t herefore act ual quant it ies t hat may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these est imates. Our related expectat ions for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions, including est imates of production decline rates from existing wells, the undert aking and outcome of future drilling act ivit y and act ivity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases. Unless otherwise noted, Net Present Value (“ NPV” ) estimates are before taxes and assume the Company generated EUR and decline curve estimates based on Company drilling and completion cost estimates that do not include facilities, land, seismic, general and administrative (“ G&A” ) or other corporate level costs.
