SECOND QUARTER 2018 RESULTS

Murphy recorded net income of $46 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2018. The company reported adjusted income, which excludes both the results of discontinued operations and certain other items that affect comparability of results between periods, of $63 million, or $0.36 per diluted share. The adjusted income excludes an unrealized mark-to-market after-tax loss on crude oil derivative contracts of $10 million and an after-tax loss on foreign exchange of $7 million. Details for second quarter results can be found in the attached schedules.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) totaled $365 million, or $23.50 per barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) sold. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and exploration expenses (EBITDAX) totaled $384 million, or $24.74 per BOE sold. Details for second quarter EBITDA and EBITDAX reconciliation can be found in the attached schedules.

In the second quarter 2018, the company produced 171,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD). Production exceeded the high end of guidance primarily driven by the outperformance of the high-margin Front Runner, Clipper, Thunder Hawk and Kodiak Fields in the Gulf of Mexico. In onshore Canada, new wells in the Kaybob Duvernay Field and less planned downtime at Tupper Montney also contributed to production exceeding guidance.

“We continue to implement our 2018 plan, with annual production guidance being increased for the second consecutive quarter. Our high-margin offshore fields continue to lead the way in production performance. By successfully executing our operating and financial goals, we are able to deliver cash to our shareholders through our competitive dividend yield and generate significant cash returns on our invested capital,” stated Roger W. Jenkins, President and Chief Executive Officer.

FINANCIAL POSITION

As of June 30, 2018, the company had $2.8 billion of outstanding long-term, fixed-rate notes while maintaining approximately $2.0 billion of liquidity. The fixed-rate notes have a weighted average maturity of 8.3 years and a weighted average coupon of 5.5 percent. The next senior note maturity for the company is in 2022. There were no borrowings on the $1.1 billion unsecured senior credit facility at quarter end.

REGIONAL OPERATIONS SUMMARY                                                        

North American Onshore

The North American onshore business produced 95 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBOEPD) in the second quarter, a ten percent increase year-over-year.

Eagle Ford Shale  – Production in the quarter averaged 44 MBOEPD, with 88 percent liquids. The company brought 26 operated wells online during the quarter, including ten wells in Karnes, ten in Catarina and six in Tilden. The 10-well pad in Karnes had an average initial gross production rate over 30 days (IP30 rate) of 1,750 BOEPD, with seven of the wells producing at the highest rates Murphy has achieved in this area. Murphy brought four more wells online in the second quarter than guided. The company expects to bring a total of 45 operated Eagle Ford Shale wells online during full year 2018, with nine in the third quarter.

Tupper Montney – Natural gas production in the quarter averaged 236 million cubic feet per day (MMCFD). During the quarter, the company brought five wells online with an average expected ultimate recovery of 18 billion cubic feet (BCF) per well.

The company entered into a long-term expansion agreement to increase the processing capabilities at third party plants in the Tupper Montney. The expansion project will enable Murphy to produce an additional 200 MMCFD by late 2020 and has additional reserve potential of over 400 BCF. Murphy has firm natural gas transportation service to match the increase in processing capacity. The project has an AECO break-even price1 of approximately C$1.75 per thousand cubic feet. The long-term expansion should allow flexible capital allocation that will ultimately lead to additional free cash generation from the project for many decades.

Kaybob Duvernay – During the quarter, the company achieved record production averaging over 7,300 BOEPD with 63 percent liquids. Late in the second quarter, the company brought a four-well pad online in the Kaybob West development area, with an initial average rate approaching 800 BOEPD and 80 percent liquids. In the second half of 2018, the company plans to allocate an additional $50 million in the Kaybob Duvernay to drill, complete additional wells, and build infrastructure. The increase in capital will reduce the remaining drilling carry, which is expected to be completed by year end 2019.

“Since taking over operatorship of this asset two years ago, our Kaybob Duvernay team has done an outstanding job reducing costs while steadily increasing production. Over the past 24 months, production grew almost six-fold to over 7,300 BOEPD, and we are well on our way to a fourth quarter exit rate that exceeds 11,000 BOEPD. Simultaneously, our drilling and completion costs in the Kaybob Duvernay have been reduced by 30 percent to a second quarter average of $6.5 million per well. This includes a Murphy pacesetter well of $5.9 million, which is industry-leading for the play,” stated Jenkins.

Global Offshore

The offshore business produced over 76 MBOEPD for the second quarter, with 72 percent liquids. 

Malaysia & Brunei – Production in the quarter averaged 49 MBOEPD, with 62 percent liquids. Block K and Sarawak averaged nearly 30 thousand barrels of liquids per day, while Sarawak natural gas production averaged 105 MMCFD. Work continues at the Kikeh gas lift and the Block H FLNG projects, which are both being executed on time and on budget.

North America  Production in the quarter for the Gulf of Mexico and offshore Canada averaged 27 MBOEPD, with 91 percent liquids.

EXPLORATION

Gulf of Mexico Exploration – During the second quarter, Murphy spud the Samurai-2 appraisal well (Green Canyon 432-2), which was drilled to a depth of just over 32,000 feet. The well encountered more than 150 feet of total pay, primarily from two zones that were originally found in the Samurai-1 exploration well. To date, the company has discovered resources exceeding its mean pre-drill expectation of 75 million barrels of oil equivalent. Murphy also discovered oil pay in additional zones that were not tested in Samurai-1. Murphy and its partner are evaluating options to sidetrack the well into the adjacent block that Murphy also operates with a 50 percent working interest. The potential sidetrack is expected to further delineate the discovery. 

“I am thrilled to report the commercial pay success in the Samurai-2 well, which is the first well drilled under our new, focused exploration strategy. We have encountered multiple high-quality, oil-bearing reservoirs, which will generate meaningful value as we move into development. I look forward to continued evaluation of the successful Samurai-2 well during the third quarter,” stated Jenkins.

Mexico Exploration – During the second quarter, Murphy received approval from the Comisión Nacional de Hidrocarburos (CNH) for the Deepwater Block 5 Exploration Plan. The approval is a key step in the process towards spudding the first exploration well on the block late in 2018.

Vietnam Exploration – Murphy secured all approvals of the farm-in terms for the Block 15-01/05 in the Cuu Long Basin, including assuming operatorship of the block at a 40 percent working interest. Murphy also progressed planning for the LDT-1X exploration well that is expected to spud in the fourth quarter.

PRODUCTION AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE GUIDANCE

Production for the third quarter 2018 is estimated to be in the range of 166,500 to 168,500 BOEPD. Third quarter guidance is below second quarter production primarily due to the annual turn-arounds at the non-operated offshore Canada fields and execution of capital projects in Malaysia. The temporary production loss of approximately 7,400 BOEPD in these areas is partially offset by increased production of approximately 3,900 BOEPD in North American onshore assets.

The company is increasing estimated full year 2018 production guidance to be in the range of 168,500 to 170,500 BOEPD. The mid-point for full year production guidance represents a 1,000 BOEPD increase from the previous annual guidance range. The increase is supported by year-over-year production growth of eight percent in Murphy’s North American onshore assets.

Full year capital expenditure guidance is being increased by six percent from $1.114 billion to $1.179 billion. Approximately $55 million of the additional capital is being allocated to Onshore Canada, primarily in the Kaybob Duvernay to drill eight and bring four additional wells online and build the required facilities and road work for future wells. The remainder is being allocated to further evaluate the successful Samurai-2 appraisal well. Details for production can be found in the attached schedules.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Presented above is a reconciliation of Net income(loss) to Adjusted income  (loss).  Adjusted income  (loss) excludes certain items that management believes affect the comparability of results between periods.  Management believes this is important information to provide because it is used by management to evaluate the Company's operational performance and trends between periods and relative to its industry competitors.  Management also believes this information may be useful to investors and analysts to gain a better understanding of the Company's financial results.  Adjusted income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered a substitute for Net income (loss) as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.



Note:Amounts shown above as reconciling items between Net income (loss) and Adjusted income  (loss) are presented net of applicable income taxes based on the estimated statutory rate in the applicable tax jurisdiction.  The pretax and income tax impacts for adjustments shown above are as follows by area of operations.

2 Gain (loss) on foreign exchange principally relates to the revaluation of Malaysian Ringgit monetary assets and liabilities. In 2017 foreign exchange also includes revaluation of intercompany loans (settled in the first quarter of 2018).

3 Gain (loss) on sale of assets in the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily consists of a pretax gain of $132.4 million related to the sale of the Seal heavy oil asset in Canada.



Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Presented above is a reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and exploration expenses (EBITDAX).  Management believes EBITDA and EBITDAX are important information to provide because they are used by management to evaluate the Company's operational performance and trends between periods and relative to its industry competitors.  Management also believes this information may be useful to investors and analysts to gain a better understanding of the Company's financial results.  EBITDA and EBITDAX are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered a substitute for Net income (loss) or Cash provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.    



Presented above is EBITDA per barrel of oil equivalents sold and EBITDAX per barrel of oil equivalents sold. Management believes EBITDA per barrel of oil equivalents sold and EBITDAX per barrel of oil equivalents sold are important information because they are used by management to evaluate the Company’s profitability of one barrel of oil equivalent sold in that period.   EBITDA per barrel of oil equivalent sold and EBITDAX per barrel of oil equivalent sold are non-GAAP financial metrics.

SECOND QUARTER 2018 RESULTS

Murphy recorded net income of $46 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2018. The company reported adjusted income, which excludes both the results of discontinued operations and certain other items that affect comparability of results between periods, of $63 million, or $0.36 per diluted share. The adjusted income excludes an unrealized mark-to-market after-tax loss on crude oil derivative contracts of $10 million and an after-tax loss on foreign exchange of $7 million. Details for second quarter results can be found in the attached schedules.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) totaled $365 million, or $23.50 per barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) sold. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and exploration expenses (EBITDAX) totaled $384 million, or $24.74 per BOE sold. Details for second quarter EBITDA and EBITDAX reconciliation can be found in the attached schedules.

In the second quarter 2018, the company produced 171,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD). Production exceeded the high end of guidance primarily driven by the outperformance of the high-margin Front Runner, Clipper, Thunder Hawk and Kodiak Fields in the Gulf of Mexico. In onshore Canada, new wells in the Kaybob Duvernay Field and less planned downtime at Tupper Montney also contributed to production exceeding guidance.

“We continue to implement our 2018 plan, with annual production guidance being increased for the second consecutive quarter. Our high-margin offshore fields continue to lead the way in production performance. By successfully executing our operating and financial goals, we are able to deliver cash to our shareholders through our competitive dividend yield and generate significant cash returns on our invested capital,” stated Roger W. Jenkins, President and Chief Executive Officer.

FINANCIAL POSITION

As of June 30, 2018, the company had $2.8 billion of outstanding long-term, fixed-rate notes while maintaining approximately $2.0 billion of liquidity. The fixed-rate notes have a weighted average maturity of 8.3 years and a weighted average coupon of 5.5 percent. The next senior note maturity for the company is in 2022. There were no borrowings on the $1.1 billion unsecured senior credit facility at quarter end.

REGIONAL OPERATIONS SUMMARY                                                        

North American Onshore

The North American onshore business produced 95 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBOEPD) in the second quarter, a ten percent increase year-over-year.

Eagle Ford Shale  – Production in the quarter averaged 44 MBOEPD, with 88 percent liquids. The company brought 26 operated wells online during the quarter, including ten wells in Karnes, ten in Catarina and six in Tilden. The 10-well pad in Karnes had an average initial gross production rate over 30 days (IP30 rate) of 1,750 BOEPD, with seven of the wells producing at the highest rates Murphy has achieved in this area. Murphy brought four more wells online in the second quarter than guided. The company expects to bring a total of 45 operated Eagle Ford Shale wells online during full year 2018, with nine in the third quarter.

Tupper Montney – Natural gas production in the quarter averaged 236 million cubic feet per day (MMCFD). During the quarter, the company brought five wells online with an average expected ultimate recovery of 18 billion cubic feet (BCF) per well.

The company entered into a long-term expansion agreement to increase the processing capabilities at third party plants in the Tupper Montney. The expansion project will enable Murphy to produce an additional 200 MMCFD by late 2020 and has additional reserve potential of over 400 BCF. Murphy has firm natural gas transportation service to match the increase in processing capacity. The project has an AECO break-even price1 of approximately C$1.75 per thousand cubic feet. The long-term expansion should allow flexible capital allocation that will ultimately lead to additional free cash generation from the project for many decades.

Kaybob Duvernay – During the quarter, the company achieved record production averaging over 7,300 BOEPD with 63 percent liquids. Late in the second quarter, the company brought a four-well pad online in the Kaybob West development area, with an initial average rate approaching 800 BOEPD and 80 percent liquids. In the second half of 2018, the company plans to allocate an additional $50 million in the Kaybob Duvernay to drill, complete additional wells, and build infrastructure. The increase in capital will reduce the remaining drilling carry, which is expected to be completed by year end 2019.

“Since taking over operatorship of this asset two years ago, our Kaybob Duvernay team has done an outstanding job reducing costs while steadily increasing production. Over the past 24 months, production grew almost six-fold to over 7,300 BOEPD, and we are well on our way to a fourth quarter exit rate that exceeds 11,000 BOEPD. Simultaneously, our drilling and completion costs in the Kaybob Duvernay have been reduced by 30 percent to a second quarter average of $6.5 million per well. This includes a Murphy pacesetter well of $5.9 million, which is industry-leading for the play,” stated Jenkins.

Global Offshore

The offshore business produced over 76 MBOEPD for the second quarter, with 72 percent liquids. 

Malaysia & Brunei – Production in the quarter averaged 49 MBOEPD, with 62 percent liquids. Block K and Sarawak averaged nearly 30 thousand barrels of liquids per day, while Sarawak natural gas production averaged 105 MMCFD. Work continues at the Kikeh gas lift and the Block H FLNG projects, which are both being executed on time and on budget.

North America  Production in the quarter for the Gulf of Mexico and offshore Canada averaged 27 MBOEPD, with 91 percent liquids.

EXPLORATION

Gulf of Mexico Exploration – During the second quarter, Murphy spud the Samurai-2 appraisal well (Green Canyon 432-2), which was drilled to a depth of just over 32,000 feet. The well encountered more than 150 feet of total pay, primarily from two zones that were originally found in the Samurai-1 exploration well. To date, the company has discovered resources exceeding its mean pre-drill expectation of 75 million barrels of oil equivalent. Murphy also discovered oil pay in additional zones that were not tested in Samurai-1. Murphy and its partner are evaluating options to sidetrack the well into the adjacent block that Murphy also operates with a 50 percent working interest. The potential sidetrack is expected to further delineate the discovery. 

“I am thrilled to report the commercial pay success in the Samurai-2 well, which is the first well drilled under our new, focused exploration strategy. We have encountered multiple high-quality, oil-bearing reservoirs, which will generate meaningful value as we move into development. I look forward to continued evaluation of the successful Samurai-2 well during the third quarter,” stated Jenkins.

Mexico Exploration – During the second quarter, Murphy received approval from the Comisión Nacional de Hidrocarburos (CNH) for the Deepwater Block 5 Exploration Plan. The approval is a key step in the process towards spudding the first exploration well on the block late in 2018.

Vietnam Exploration – Murphy secured all approvals of the farm-in terms for the Block 15-01/05 in the Cuu Long Basin, including assuming operatorship of the block at a 40 percent working interest. Murphy also progressed planning for the LDT-1X exploration well that is expected to spud in the fourth quarter.

PRODUCTION AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE GUIDANCE

Production for the third quarter 2018 is estimated to be in the range of 166,500 to 168,500 BOEPD. Third quarter guidance is below second quarter production primarily due to the annual turn-arounds at the non-operated offshore Canada fields and execution of capital projects in Malaysia. The temporary production loss of approximately 7,400 BOEPD in these areas is partially offset by increased production of approximately 3,900 BOEPD in North American onshore assets.

The company is increasing estimated full year 2018 production guidance to be in the range of 168,500 to 170,500 BOEPD. The mid-point for full year production guidance represents a 1,000 BOEPD increase from the previous annual guidance range. The increase is supported by year-over-year production growth of eight percent in Murphy’s North American onshore assets.

Full year capital expenditure guidance is being increased by six percent from $1.114 billion to $1.179 billion. Approximately $55 million of the additional capital is being allocated to Onshore Canada, primarily in the Kaybob Duvernay to drill eight and bring four additional wells online and build the required facilities and road work for future wells. The remainder is being allocated to further evaluate the successful Samurai-2 appraisal well. Details for production can be found in the attached schedules.

CONFERENCE CALL AND WEBCAST SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 9, 2018

Murphy will host a conference call to discuss second quarter 2018 financial and operating results on Thursday, August 9, 2018, at 11:00 a.m. ET.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Presented above is a reconciliation of Net income(loss) to Adjusted income  (loss).  Adjusted income  (loss) excludes certain items that management believes affect the comparability of results between periods.  Management believes this is important information to provide because it is used by management to evaluate the Company's operational performance and trends between periods and relative to its industry competitors.  Management also believes this information may be useful to investors and analysts to gain a better understanding of the Company's financial results.  Adjusted income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered a substitute for Net income (loss) as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.



Note:Amounts shown above as reconciling items between Net income (loss) and Adjusted income  (loss) are presented net of applicable income taxes based on the estimated statutory rate in the applicable tax jurisdiction.  The pretax and income tax impacts for adjustments shown above are as follows by area of operations.

Presented above is a reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and exploration expenses (EBITDAX).  Management believes EBITDA and EBITDAX are important information to provide because they are used by management to evaluate the Company's operational performance and trends between periods and relative to its industry competitors.  Management also believes this information may be useful to investors and analysts to gain a better understanding of the Company's financial results.  EBITDA and EBITDAX are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered a substitute for Net income (loss) or Cash provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.    



Presented above is EBITDA per barrel of oil equivalents sold and EBITDAX per barrel of oil equivalents sold. Management believes EBITDA per barrel of oil equivalents sold and EBITDAX per barrel of oil equivalents sold are important information because they are used by management to evaluate the Company’s profitability of one barrel of oil equivalent sold in that period.   EBITDA per barrel of oil equivalent sold and EBITDAX per barrel of oil equivalent sold are non-GAAP financial metrics.
