* Fiscal 2009 EBITDA totaled $277 million * Full-year volumes averaged 19,300 BOE per day * Reserve additions replaced 165 percent of production * Fiscal 2010 initial capital budget set at $75 million to $85 million * Insurance settlement expected to provide $53 million cash
HOUSTON, Sept. 4, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Energy XXI (Bermuda) Limited (Nasdaq:EXXI - News) (LSE:EXXI - News) today announced fiscal fourth-quarter and full-year financial and operating results for the period ended June 30, 2009, and reviewed its fiscal 2010 capital program and expectations.
| ||||
For the full year, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $224.9 million while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA) was $277.0 million, compared with $366.1 million and $451.0 million, respectively, in fiscal 2008. Reflecting non-cash write-downs in the second and third fiscal quarters, the company reported a net loss for fiscal 2009 of $571.6 million, or $3.95 per share, on revenues of $433.8 million and production of 19,300 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d), compared with net income of $26.9 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, on revenues of $643.2 million and production of 26,200 BOE/d in fiscal 2008.
For the 2009 fiscal fourth quarter, revenues were $101.1 million and EBITDA totaled $66.5 million, compared with 2008 fiscal fourth-quarter revenues of $178.8 million and EBITDA of $119.2 million. Fourth-quarter 2009 net cash provided by operating activities totaled $50.5 million, as volumes averaged 18,700 BOE/d. In the 2008 fiscal fourth quarter, net cash provided by operating activities was $148.7 million and volumes averaged 26,400 BOE/d. The net realized price received for the company's production in the 2009 fiscal fourth quarter averaged $59.36 per BOE, compared with $74.49 per BOE in the 2008 fiscal fourth quarter. The company recorded a fiscal 2009 fourth-quarter net loss of $17.2 million, or $0.12 per share, compared with 2008 fiscal fourth-quarter net income of $8.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.
"With production impacted by hurricane outages, and revenues further affected by volatile oil and natural gas prices, Energy XXI still delivered solid volumes and cash flows in fiscal 2009," Energy XXI Chairman and CEO John Schiller said. "We ended the year with a strong foundation, with nearly $90 million of cash on hand and a capital program designed to under-spend cash flow while holding volumes essentially flat for fiscal 2010."
YEAR-END RESERVES
The company's June 30, 2009 fiscal year-end proved reserves were estimated at 53.1 million BOE, compared with 51.5 million BOE at June 30, 2008. The increase was achieved even though 2009 fiscal year-end reserves were reduced 2.9 million BOE by revisions due to the year-over-year decline in prices for crude oil and natural gas. During fiscal year 2009, Energy XXI added 11.6 million BOE of proved reserves through discoveries, extensions of existing fields and performance-related revisions, while producing 7.1 million BOE, equating to a 165 percent proved reserves replacement rate excluding the price-related revisions. Reserve additions were primarily driven by development activities in the shallow-water Gulf of Mexico and the Cote de Mer natural gas discovery onshore Louisiana.
Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (NSAI), independent oil and gas consultants, engineered 86 percent of the company's proved reserves, on a valuation basis, with the remainder engineered in-house. All of the company's proved reserves are in the United States, 64 percent are proved developed, 58 percent are oil and natural gas liquids, and 42 percent are natural gas. Approximately 21 percent of the company's proved developed non-producing reserves are expected to be moved to the producing category in October as the company's Cote de Mer and Fastball discoveries are placed on-line, and another 11 percent will be returned to the producing category upon completion of hurricane repairs to associated facilities. Attached tables provide additional reserves detail, including cost-incurred data.
"Adjusting for price revisions, Energy XXI grew reserves more than 9 percent organically in fiscal 2009, compared with acquisition-driven growth in previous years," Schiller said. "We added nearly twice as many reserves as we produced during the year and our exploration drilling for deep and ultra-deep targets on the Gulf of Mexico shelf can potentially drive major additional future increases."
NSAI estimated the Blackbeard discovery at South Timbalier Block 168 offshore Louisiana holds as much as 142 million BOE (20 million BOE net to the company) of contingent resources based on data obtained to-date. A flow test of the well to prove commercial producibility may be required before the contingent resources can be moved to the proved, probable or possible reserves categories, and future drilling activity on the flanks of the structure could add significantly to the discovery's size.
AIM RESERVES DATA
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) currently recognizes only proved reserves and has historically discouraged discussion of unproved reserves. Guidelines set out by AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange, require AIM-quoted companies such as Energy XXI to report probable and possible resources in addition to proved reserves. The supplemental data shown below are therefore presented for consideration as recipients deem appropriate. Under recently approved SEC rules, beginning next year, the SEC and AIM disclosure requirements will be more closely aligned with this presentation. The following fiscal-year-ended June 30, 2009 estimates of proved reserves and probable and possible resources attributable to the company's net interests in oil and gas properties were prepared primarily by NSAI, in conjunction with in-house reservoir engineers.

FISCAL 2010 CAPITAL PROGRAM
The company's board of directors has approved an initial fiscal 2010 capital program of between $75 million and $85 million, excluding plug-and-abandonment costs, compared with $268.4 million in fiscal 2009 estimate, which excludes $22.9 million of plug-and-abandonment costs.
"We are executing a scaled-back capital program in fiscal 2010 that is designed to keep volumes essentially flat with the fiscal 2009 average and to generate free cash flow for debt reduction, while we continue to pursue high-impact exploration activities that could grow future reserves meaningfully," Schiller said. "Our volume target incorporates lower production in our current fiscal first quarter, to be followed by increases in the second and third fiscal quarters as we place two discoveries online, restore operations at three hurricane-affected properties and begin enjoying the benefits of the current drilling program. Our future capital programs also are expected to be supported by Tex Moncrief's participation in the ultra-deep shelf play, as recently announced by our operating partner, McMoRan Oil & Gas."
Approximately 16 percent of the 2010 budget is targeting exploration drilling, which includes the ultra-deep Davy Jones prospect. Energy XXI will fund 14.1 percent of the exploratory costs and expects to have a 15.8 percent working interest and 12.6 percent net revenue interest in Davy Jones, which is currently drilling below 20,000 feet at South Marsh Island Block 230 on the Gulf of Mexico shelf. This well has a proposed target depth of 28,000 feet, seeking to test the Eocene (Wilcox), Paleocene and possibly Cretaceous (Tuscaloosa) sections.
About 27 percent of the fiscal 2010 budget is earmarked for facilities, primarily for development projects expected to be placed on production in the next fiscal quarter. About 22 percent targets development drilling, while 8 percent is for seismic and land acquisition and another 7 percent is set aside for well workovers and recompletions. The remainder is for capitalized administrative and other costs.
INSURANCE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
Energy XXI has reached agreement with its lead insurance underwriters on a $53 million global settlement of outstanding claims related to last year's hurricane damage. The $53 million cash settlement is expected to be received beginning within a month. The settlement amount is incremental to $28 million of reimbursements received to date related to covered hurricane damage.
"Our risk management program continues to be effective at protecting our asset base and shareholder value, reimbursing us for costs associated with hurricane damage inflicted on our oil and gas facilities," EXXI President and COO Steve Weyel said.

CENTRAL GULF HIGHLIGHTS
South Timbalier 21
During the 2009 fiscal fourth quarter, South Timbalier 21 (100 percent WI) net production averaged 5,977 BOE/d, down from the fiscal third quarter's 7,516 BOE/d net rate due to natural declines following completion of the field's fiscal 2009 drilling program. For the full 2009 fiscal year, South Timbalier net production averaged 5,770 BOE/d, compared with the 2008 fiscal year average of 7,900 BOE/d. The fiscal 2009 capital program included approximately $53 million for two development wells and 10 recompletions, down from about $80 million invested the previous year. The company expects to spend approximately $3 million in fiscal 2010 for eight rig recompletions that are expected to deliver strong volume uplift during the year.
EASTERN GULF HIGHLIGHTS
Fiscal fourth-quarter net production from the company's Eastern Gulf region averaged 7,619 BOE/d, an approximate 24 percent increase over the fiscal third quarter's average of 6,148 BOE/d. In fiscal year 2009, the company spent approximately $18.8 million on two development wells in the Main Pass 61 field (50 percent WI). Looking ahead at fiscal year 2010, the company has budgeted roughly $14 million in the field for three development wells, five recompletions, and three facilities.
SOUTH LOUISIANA ONSHORE / GULF COAST HIGHLIGHTS
During the fiscal fourth quarter, Onshore/Gulf Coast net production averaged 2,542 BOE/d, down from fiscal third-quarter volume of 4,202 BOE/d. In fiscal year 2009, the company spent approximately $4.5 million across its onshore assets. Due to the company's reduced capital budget in fiscal year 2010, additional funding in this region is being deferred.
GLOSSARY
Reserves and Resources:
Proved Oil and Gas Reserves - Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e., prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Prices include consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on escalations based upon future conditions. Reservoirs are considered proved if economic producibility is supported by either actual production or conclusive formation testing. The area of a reservoir considered proved includes (A) that portion delineated by drilling and defined gas-oil and/or oil-water contacts, if any; and (B) the immediately adjoining portions not yet drilled, but which can be reasonably judged as economically productive on the basis of available geological and engineering data. In the absence of information on fluid contacts, the lowest known structural occurrence of hydrocarbons controls the lower proved limit of the reservoir.
Proved Developed Reserves - Reserves are categorized as proved developed if they are expected to be recovered from existing wells.
Probables - Probables are those unproved resources that analysis of geological and engineering data suggest are more likely than not to be recoverable. In this context, when probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of estimated proved reserves plus probables. In general, probables may include (1) resources anticipated to be proved by normal step-out drilling where sub-surface control is inadequate to classify these reserves as proved, (2) resources in formations that appear to be productive based on well log characteristics but lack core data or definitive tests and that are not analogous to producing or proved reservoirs in the area, (3) incremental resources attributable to infill drilling that could have been classified as proved if closer statutory spacing had been approved at the time of the estimate, (4) resources attributable to improved recovery methods that have been established by repeated commercially successful applications when (a) a project or pilot is planned but not in operation and (b) rock, fluid and reservoir characteristics appear favorable for commercial application, (5) resources in an area of the formation that appears to be separated from the proved area by faulting and the geological interpretation indicates the subject area is structurally higher than the proved area, (6) resources attributable to a future workover, treatment, retreatment, change of equipment, or other mechanical procedures, where such procedure has not been proved successful in wells that exhibit similar behavior in analogous reservoirs, and (7) incremental resources in proved reservoirs where an alternative interpretation of performance or volumetric data indicates more resources than can be classified as proved.
Possibles - Possibles are those unproved resources that analysis of geological and engineering data suggest are less likely be recoverable than probables. In this context, when probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of estimated proved reserves plus probables and possibles. In general, possibles may include (1) resources that, based on geological interpretations, could possibly exist beyond areas classified as probable, (2) resources in formations that appear to be petroleum-bearing based on log and core analysis but may not be productive at commercial rates, (3) incremental resources attributed to infill drilling that are subject to technical uncertainty, (4) resources attributed to improved recovery methods when reasonable doubt exists that the project will be commercial, and (5) resources in an area of the formation that appears to be separated from the proved area by faulting and the geological interpretation indicates the subject area is structurally lower than the proved area.
Other terms:
Barrel - unit of measure for oil and petroleum products, equivalent to 42 U.S. gallons.
BOE - barrels of oil equivalent, used to equate natural gas volumes to liquid barrels at a general conversion rate of 6,000 cubic feet of gas per barrel.
BOE/d - barrels of oil equivalent per day.
Field - an area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs all grouped on, or related to, the same individual geological structural feature or stratigraphic condition. The field name refers to the surface area, although it may refer to both the surface and the underground productive formations.
MBBL - thousand barrels of oil.
MBOE - thousand barrels of oil equivalent.
MCF - thousand cubic feet of gas.
MMBOE - million barrels of oil equivalent.
MMCF - million cubic feet of gas.
PV10 - the estimated present value of the resource, discounted at a 10 percent annual rate.
