NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ENERGEN CORPORATION AND ALABAMA GAS CORPORATION
     

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended
December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, included in the 2012 Annual Report of Energen Corporation (the Company) and Alabama Gas Corporation (Alagasco) on Form 10-K. Alagasco has a September 30 fiscal year for rate-setting purposes (rate year) and reports on a calendar year for the Securities and Exchange Commission and all other financial accounting reporting purposes. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required for complete financial statements. The Company's natural gas distribution business is seasonal in character and influenced by weather conditions. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year. All adjustments to the unaudited condensed financial statements that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been recorded. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring items.

On December 31, 2012, the Company and Alagasco revised the presentation of outstanding checks in its financial statements to reflect outstanding checks as a reduction in cash as of the date the checks were released for payment. The effect of not revising the presentation of cash balances for the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2012 resulted in a decreasedecreases of $3.93.7 million and $4.54.6 million to Energen and Alagasco's operating cash flows, respectively. The Company and Alagasco determined that the amounts were not material to the respective statements of cash flows. This adjustment causedhad no impact toon Energen or Alagasco's statements of income.

2. REGULATORY MATTERS

Alagasco is subject to regulation by the Alabama Public Service Commission (APSC) which established the Rate Stabilization and Equalization (RSE) rate-setting process in 1983. RSE’sThe Company’s current extension is forRSE order has a seven-year periodterm extending through December 31, 2014. RSE will continue after December 31, 2014, unless, after notice to the Company and a hearing,At its March 2013 monthly meeting, the APSC votesannounced the schedule for a series of public informal proceedings to modify or discontinuereview the Company’s RSE methodology.mechanism. The Company expects discussion topics to include allowed range of return on equity, the timing of term renewal and the term length of renewal. The public proceedings are scheduled to occur beginning September 5, 2013.

Alagasco's allowed range of return on average common equity is 13.15 percent to 13.65 percent throughout the term of the RSE order. Under RSE, the APSC conducts quarterly reviews to determine whether Alagasco's return on average common equity at the end of the rate year will be within the allowed range of return. Reductions in rates can be made quarterly to bring the projected return within the allowed range; increases, however, are allowed only once each rate year, effective December 1, and cannot exceed 4 percent of prior-year revenues. During the three months and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2013, Alagasco had a net $2.43.8 million pre-tax and a net $6.3 million pre-tax, respectively, reduction in revenues to bring the return on average common equity to midpoint within the allowed range of return. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012, Alagasco had a net $5.0 million pre-tax reduction in revenues to bring the return on average common equity to midpoint within the allowed range of return. Under the provisions of RSE, a $7.8 million and a $13.0 million annual increase in revenues became effective December 1, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

RSE limits the utility’s equity upon which a return is permitted to 55 percent of total capitalization, subject to certain adjustments. Under the inflation-based Cost Control Measurement (CCM) established by the APSC, if the percentage change in operations and maintenance (O&M) expense on an aggregate basis falls within a range of 0.75 points above or below the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index For All Urban Consumers (Index Range) on a rate year basis, no adjustment is required. If the change in O&M expense on an aggregate basis exceeds the Index Range, three-quarters of the difference is returned to customers. To the extent the change is less than the Index Range, the utility benefits by one-half of the difference through future rate adjustments. The O&M expense base for measurement purposes will be set at the prior year’s actual O&M expense amount unless the Company exceeds the top of the Index Range in two successive years, in which case the base for the following year will be set at the top of the Index Range. Certain items that fluctuate based on situations demonstrated to be beyond Alagasco’s control may be excluded from the CCM calculation. Alagasco’s O&M expense fell within the Index Range for the rate years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Alagasco’s rate schedules for natural gas distribution charges contain a Gas Supply Adjustment (GSA) rider, established in 1993, which permits the pass-through to customers of changes in the cost of gas supply. Alagasco's tariff provides a temperature adjustment mechanism, also included in the GSA, that is designed to moderate the impact of departures from normal temperatures on Alagasco’s earnings. The temperature adjustment applies primarily to residential, small commercial and small industrial customers. Other non-temperature weather related conditions that may affect customer usage are not included in the temperature adjustment.

12




The APSC approved an Enhanced Stability Reserve (ESR) in 1998, which was subsequently modified and expanded in 2010. As currently approved, the ESR provides deferred treatment and recovery for the following: (1) extraordinary O&M expenses related to environmental response costs; (2) extraordinary O&M expenses related to self insurance costs that exceed $1 million per occurrence;

12



(3) extraordinary O&M expenses, other than environmental response costs and self insurance costs, resulting from a single force majeure event or multiple force majeure events greater than $275,000 and $412,500, respectively, during a rate year; and (4) negative individual large commercial and industrial customer budget revenue variances that exceed $350,000 during a rate year.

Charges to the ESR are subject to certain limitations which may disallow deferred treatment and which proscribe the timing of recovery. Funding to the ESR is provided as a reduction to the refundable negative salvage balance over its nine year term beginning December 1, 2010. Subsequent to the nine year period and subject to APSC authorization, Alagasco anticipates recovering underfunded ESR balances over a five year amortization period with an annual limitation of $660,000. Amounts in excess of this limitation are deferred for recovery in future years.

3. DERIVATIVE COMMODITY INSTRUMENTS

Energen Resources Corporation, Energen's oil and gas subsidiary, recognizes all derivatives on the balance sheet and measures all derivatives at fair value. If a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effectiveness of the hedge, or the degree that the gain (loss) for the hedging instrument offsets the loss (gain) on the hedged item, is measured at each reporting period. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) as a component of shareholders’ equity and subsequently reclassified as operating revenues when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value is required to be recognized in operating revenues immediately. All derivative transactions are included in operating activities on the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows.

Energen Resources periodically enters into derivative commodity instruments to hedge its exposure to price fluctuations on oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production. In prior years, Alagasco entered into cash flow derivative commodity instruments to hedge its exposure to price fluctuations on its gas supply. Hedge transactions are pursuant to standing authorizations by the Board of Directors, which do not authorize speculative positions. Such instruments may include over-the-counter (OTC) swaps and basis hedges typically with investment and commercial banks and energy-trading firms. The Company is at risk for economic loss based upon the creditworthiness of its counterparties. Energen Resources was in a net lossgain position with sixtwelve of its active counterparties at March 31,June 30, 2013. The twothree largest counterparty net lossgain positions at March 31,June 30, 2013, Morgan Stanley Capital Group, IncMacquarie Bank Limited, BP Corporation North America Inc. and Barclays Bank PLC,J Aron & Company, constituted approximately $24.716.5 million, $11.7 million and $5.111.5 million, respectively, of Energen Resources’ total net lossgain on fair value of derivatives. At June 30, 2013, Energen Resources was in a net gainloss position with seven of its active counterparties at March 31, 2013. The two largest counterparty net gain positions at March 31, 2013, Macquarie Bank Limited and BP Corporation North America Inc., constitutedMorgan Stanley Capital Group for approximately $10.311.4 million and $5.3 million, respectively, of Energen Resources’ net gain on fair value of derivatives..

The current policy of the Company is to not enter into agreements that require the posting of collateral. The Company has a few older agreements, none of which have active positions as of March 31,June 30, 2013, which include collateral posting requirements based on the amount of exposure and counterparty credit ratings. The majority of the Company’s counterparty agreements include provisions for net settlement of transactions payable on the same date and in the same currency. Most of the agreements include various contractual set-off rights, which may be exercised by the non-defaulting party in the event of an early termination due to a default.

The Company periodically enters into derivative transactions that do not qualify for cash flow hedge accounting but are considered by management to represent valid economic hedges and are accounted for as mark-to-market transactions. These economic hedges may include, but are not limited to, hedges on estimated future production not yet flowing, basis hedges without a corresponding New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) hedge, and hedges on non-operated or other properties for which all of the necessary information to qualify for cash flow hedge accounting is either not readily available or subject to change. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge treatment or are not designated as cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value with gains or losses recognized in operating revenues in the period of change.

Effective March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, Energen Resources dedesignated 5,078 thousand barrels (MBbl) and 2,353 MBbl, respectively, of various Permian Basin NYMEX oil contracts due to lack of correlation. Any gains or losses from inception of the hedge to March 31, 2013the dedesignation date were frozen and will remain in accumulated other comprehensive income until the forecasted transactions actually occur.  Any subsequent gains or losses will be accounted for as mark-to-market and recognized immediately through operating revenues.










Effective June 30, 2013, the Company elected to discontinue the use of cash flow hedge accounting and to dedesignate all remaining derivative commodity instruments that were previously designated as cash flow hedges. As a result of discontinuing hedge accounting, any gains or losses from inception of the hedge to June 30, 2013 were frozen and will remain in accumulated other comprehensive income until the forecasted transactions actually occur. Any subsequent gains or losses will be accounted for as mark-to-market and

13



recognized immediately through operating revenues. As a result of the Company's election to discontinue hedge accounting, all derivative transactions entered into subsequent to June 30, 2013 will be accounted for as mark-to-market transactions with gains or losses recognized in operating revenues in the period of change.

As of March 31,June 30, 2013, Alagasco had no derivative instruments. As of December 31, 2012, Alagasco had $2.6 million of derivative instruments which are classified as Level 2 fair values and are included in the above table as current liabilities. Alagasco had no derivative instruments classified as Level 3 fair values as of December 31, 2012.

The Company has prepared a sensitivity analysis to evaluate the hypothetical effect that changes in the prices used to estimate fair value would have on the fair value of its derivative instruments. The Company estimates that a 10 percent increase or decrease in commodity prices would result in an approximate $2826 million change in the fair value of open Level 3 derivative contracts. The resulting impact upon the results of operations would be an approximate $5.29.8 million associated with open Level 3 mark-to-market derivative contracts. Cash flow requirements to meet the obligation would not be significantly impacted as gains and losses on the derivative contracts would be similarly offset by sales at the spot market price.

The tables below set forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 derivative commodity instruments as follows:

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES    

Commitments and Agreements: Under various agreements for third party gathering, treatment, transportation or other services, Energen Resources is committed to deliver minimum production volumes or to pay certain costs in the event the minimum quantities are not delivered. These delivery commitments are approximately 29.68.2 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBOE) through November 2021.September 2017.

Energen Resources entered into three agreements which commenced at various dates from November 15, 2011 to January 15, 2012 and expire at various dates through January 2015 to secure drilling rigs necessary to execute a portion of its drilling plans. In the unlikely event that Energen Resources discontinues use of these drilling rigs, Energen Resources' total resulting exposure could be as much as $1916 million depending on the contractor's ability to remarket the drilling rig.

Certain of Alagasco's long-term contracts associated with the delivery and storage of natural gas include fixed charges of approximately $9483 million through September 2024. During the threesix months ending March 31,June 30, 2013 and 2012, Alagasco recognized approximately $14.426 million and $14.325.9 million, respectively, of long-term commitments through expense and its regulatory accounts in the accompanying financial statements. Alagasco also is committed to purchase minimum quantities of gas at market-related prices or to pay certain costs in the event the minimum quantities are not taken. These purchase commitments are approximately 158155 Bcf through August 2020.

Alagasco purchases gas as an agent for certain of its large commercial and industrial customers. Alagasco has, in certain instances, provided commodity-related guarantees to the counterparties in order to facilitate these agency purchases. Liabilities existing for gas delivered to customers subject to these guarantees are included in the balance sheets. In the event the customer for whom the guarantee was entered fails to take delivery of the gas, Alagasco can sell such gas for the customer, with the customer liable for any resulting loss. Although the substantial majority of purchases under these guarantees are for the customers' current monthly consumption and are at current market prices, in some instances, the purchases are for an extended term at a fixed price. At March 31,June 30, 2013, the fixed price purchases under these guarantees had a maximum term outstanding through JanuaryMarch 2014 and an aggregate purchase price of $1.11.0 million with a market value of $1.21.0 million.

Legal Matters: Energen and its affiliates are, from time to time, parties to various pending or threatened legal proceedings. Certain of these lawsuits include claims for punitive damages in addition to other specified relief. Based upon information presently available and in light of available legal and other defenses, contingent liabilities arising from threatened and pending litigation are not considered material in relation to the respective financial positions of Energen and its affiliates. It should be noted, however, that Energen and its affiliates conduct business in jurisdictions in which the magnitude and frequency of punitive and other damage awards may bear little or no relation to culpability or actual damages, thus making it difficult to predict litigation results.

Various pending or threatened legal proceedings are in progress currently, and the Company has accrued a provision for estimated liability.

On November 2, 2011, Energen Resources spuddedpreviously disclosed an adverse judgment relating to the ownership of the company operated Cadenhead 25-1 Well (the Cadenhead Well) in Ward County, Texas.  DuringUpon a Motion to Reconsider, the drilling phase, Chesapeake Exploration, LLC, notifiedadverse judgment was vacated by the District Court in Ward County, Texas and a Summary Judgment Order dated July 30, 2013 was entered confirming Energen Resources that it believed it was the owner of the lease from whichResources' superior title to the Cadenhead Well was producing. Shortly thereafter, Energen Resources filed a declaratory judgment action in the District Court of Ward County, Texas to resolve the title dispute. Energen Resources has a fifty percent working interest in the Cadenhead Well. The Cadenhead Well produced approximately 63 net MBOE in 2012 and is expected to produce approximately 34 net MBOE in 2013. On January 18, 2013, a judgment was entered which was adverse to Energen Resources' claim of ownership. The Company believes the adverse ruling was incorrect,its associated oil and plans to vigorously pursue all available avenues of appeal.gas leases. 

Environmental Matters: Various environmental laws and regulations apply to the operations of Energen Resources and Alagasco. Historically, the cost of environmental compliance has not materially affected the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. New regulations, enforcement policies, claims for damages or other events could result in significant unanticipated costs.

Under oversight of the Site Remediation Section of the Railroad Commission of Texas, the Company is currently in the process of cleanup and remediation of oil and gas wastes in nine reserve pits in Mitchell County, Texas. The Company estimates that the cleanup, remediation and related costs will approximate $1.7 million of which $1.0 million has been incurred and $0.7 million has been reserved.
Alagasco is in the chain of title of nine former manufactured gas plant sites, four of which it still owns, and five former manufactured gas distribution sites, one of which it still owns. Management expects that, should future remediation of the sites be required, Alagasco's share of the remediation costs will not materially affect the financial position of Alagasco. During 2011, a removal action was completed at the Huntsville, Alabama manufactured gas plant site pursuant to an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent among the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Alagasco and the current site owner. In May 2012, Alagasco received from the EPA a Request for Information Pursuant to Section 104 of CERCLA relating to the EPA's investigation of a site which it refers to as the 35th Avenue Superfund Site in and around Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama. The inquiry requests information about a parcel owned by Alagasco and located in the vicinity of the 35th Avenue site. The parcel is the former site of a manufactured gas distribution facility. Alagasco has responded to the inquiry.

New Mexico Audits: During the third quarter of 2010, Energen Resources received preliminary findings from the Taxation and Revenue Department (the Department) of the State of New Mexico relating to its audit, conducted on behalf of the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR), of federal oil and gas leases in New Mexico. The audit covered periods from January 2004 through December 2008 and included a review of the computation and payment of royalties due on minerals removed from specified U.S. federal leases. The ONRR has proposed certain changes in the method of determining allowable deductions of transportation, fuel and processing costs from royalties due under the terms of the related leases.

As a result of the audit, Energen Resources has been ordered by the ONRR to pay additional royalties on the specified U.S. federal leases in the amount of $142,000 and restructure its accounting for all federal leases in two counties in New Mexico from March 1, 2004, forward. The Company preliminarily estimates that application of the Order to all of the Company's New Mexico federal leases would result in ONRR claims for up to approximately $23 million of additional royalties plus interest and penalties for the period from March 1, 2004, forward. The preliminary findings and subsequent Order (issued April 25, 2011) are contrary to deductions allowed under previous audits, retroactive in application and inconsistent with the Company’s understanding of industry practice. The Company is vigorously contesting the Order and has requested additional information from the ONRR and the Department to assist the Company in evaluating the ONRR Order and the Department's findings. Management is unable, at this time, to determine a range of reasonably possible losses as a result of this Order, and no amount has been accrued as of March 31,June 30, 2013.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The stated value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables (net of allowance), and short-term debt approximates fair value due to the short maturity of the instruments. The fair value of Energen's long-term debt, including the current portion, approximateswas approximately $1,216.91,187.9 million and $1,255.8 million and hashad a carrying value of $1,154.0 million and $1,154.0 million at March 31,June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair value of Alagasco's fixed-rate long-term debt, including the current portion, approximateswas approximately $271.3257.2 million and $284.7 million and hashad a carrying value of $250.0 million andat both $250.0 million at March 31,June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair values wereare based on market prices of similar debt issues having the same remaining maturities, redemption terms and credit rating. Short-term debt is classified as Level 1 fair value and long-term debt is classified as Level 2 fair value.

In December 2011, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements for $200 million of the Senior Term Loans. The swap agreements exchange a variable interest rate for a fixed interest rate of 2.4175 percent on $200 million of the principal amount outstanding. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap was a $2.92.0 million and a $3.3 million liability at March 31,June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and is classified as Level 2 fair value liability. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap is recognized on a gross basis on the consolidated balance sheet.

Finance Receivables: Alagasco finances third-party contractor sales of merchandise including gas furnaces and appliances. At March 31,June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Alagasco’s finance receivable totaled $10.410.6 million and $10.7 million, respectively. These finance receivables currently have an average balance of approximately $3,000 and with terms of up to 6084 months months.. Financing is available only to qualified customers who meet credit worthiness thresholds for customer payment history and external agency credit reports. Alagasco relies upon ongoing payments as the primary indicator of credit quality during the term of each contract. The allowance for credit losses is recognized using an estimate of write-off percentages based on historical experience applied to an aging of the finance receivable balance. Delinquent accounts are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and, absent evidence of debt repayment after 90 days, are due in full and assigned to a third-party collection agency. The remaining finance receivable is written off approximately 12 months after being assigned to the third-party collection agency. Alagasco had finance receivables past due 90 days or more of $0.60.7 million and $0.5 million as of March 31,June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

11. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The Company recognizes a liability for the fair value of asset retirement obligations (ARO) in the periods incurred. Subsequent to initial measurement, liabilities are accreted to their present value and capitalized costs are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related assets. Upon settlement of the liability, the Company may recognize a gain or loss for differences between estimated and actual settlement costs. The ARO fair value liability is recognized on a discounted basis incorporating an estimate of performance risk specific to the Company.

During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2013, Energen Resources recognized amounts representing expected future costs associated with site reclamation, facilities dismantlement, and plug and abandonment of wells as follows:

* Asset retirement obligation associated with Black Warrior Basin properties are included as liabilities related to assets held for sale in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

The Company recognizes conditional obligations if such obligations can be reasonably estimated and a legal requirement to perform an asset retirement activity exists. Alagasco accrues removal costs on certain gas distribution assets over the useful lives of its property, plant and equipment through depreciation expense in accordance with rates approved by the APSC. Alagasco recorded a conditional asset retirement obligation, on a discounted basis, of $25.225.5 million and $24.9 million to purge and cap its gas pipelines upon abandonment as a regulatory liability as of March 31,June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Regulatory assets for rate recovery of accumulated asset removal costs of $2.82.3 million and $3.3 million as of March 31,June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, are included as regulatory assets in noncurrent assets on the balance sheets. The costs associated with asset retirement obligations are either currently being recovered in rates or are probable of recovery in future rates.


12. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF PROPERTIES

In June 2013, Energen Resources classified its Black Warrior Basin properties in Alabama as held-for-sale and began marketing these coalbed methane assets. At December 31, 2012, proved reserves associated with Energen's Black Warrior Basin properties totaled 97 Bcf of natural gas. The Company anticipates the sale being completed within the next twelve-months and using the proceeds from the sale to repay short-term obligations.

During the first quarter of 2013, Alagasco entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell its Birmingham Metro Operations Center which is located on 11.7 acres in downtown Birmingham, Alabama, and has been in service since the 1940's. The property is being classified as held-for sale and has a sales price isof approximately $14 million and the. The sale is expected to close in August of 2013. Effective upon closing, Alagasco plans to lease the facility from the purchaser for a period of approximately 18 months.

During the first quarter of 2012, Energen Resources recognized a noncash impairment writedown on certain properties in East Texas of $21.5 million pre-tax to adjust the carrying amount of these properties to their fair value based on expected future discounted cash flows. Significant assumptions in valuing the proved reserves included the reserve quantities, anticipated operating costs, anticipated production taxes, future expected natural gas prices and basis differentials, anticipated production declines, and a discount rate of 10 percent commensurate with the risk of the underlying cash flow estimates. The impairment was caused by the impact of lower future natural gas prices. During the first quarter of 2012, future natural gas price curves shifted significantly lower, especially in the next 5 years. This nonrecurring impairment writedown is classified as Level 3 fair value.

14. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in this update require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The effective date and transition of the disclosure requirement in ASU No. 2011-11 remained unchanged. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The additional disclosures are included in Note 3, Derivative Commodity Instruments.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update requires companies to include reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in a single note or on the face of the financial statements. The amendment was effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The additional disclosures are included in Note 13, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Energen's net income totaled $56.783.1 million ($0.781.15 per diluted share) for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2013 compared with net income of $57.4131.3 million ($0.791.82 per diluted share) for the same period in the prior year. Energen Resources Corporation, Energen's oil and gas subsidiary, had net income for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2013, of $8.8$83.9 million as compared with $9.5$131.7 million in the same quarter in the previous year. This decrease in net income was primarily the result of increased lease operating expense excluding production taxes (approximately $16 million after-tax), higher depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense (approximately $13$19 million after-tax), increased lease operating expense excluding production taxes (approximately $8 million after-tax), higher administrative expense (approximately $4$5 million after-tax), increased production taxes (approximately $3 million after-tax), lower natural gas production volumes (approximately $4$2 million after-tax), decreased natural gas liquids commodity prices (approximately $2$1 million after-tax), and a year-over-year after-tax $0.7$43 million non-cash mark-to-market decrease in derivatives (resulting from an after-tax $26$35.5 million non-cash mark-to-market lossgain on derivatives for the firstsecond quarter of 2013 and an after-tax $25.3$78.5 million non-cash mark-to-market lossgain on derivatives for the firstsecond quarter of 2012). Positively affecting net income was the impact of higher oil and natural gas liquids production volumes (approximately $20$25 million after-tax), and increased natural gas and oil commodity prices (approximately $4$11 million after-tax). Energen's natural gas utility, Alagasco, reported a net loss of $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to net income of $0.3 million in the same period last year.

For the 2013 year-to-date, Energen's net income totaled $139.8 million ($1.93 per diluted share) compared to net income of $188.7 million ($2.61 per diluted share) for the same period in the prior year. Energen Resources generated net income for the six months ended June 30, 2013, of $92.6 million as compared with $141.2 million in the previous period. Higher DD&A expense (approximately $31 million after-tax), increased lease operating expense excluding production taxes (approximately $24 million after-tax), higher administrative expense (approximately $9 million after-tax), lower natural gas production volumes (approximately $5 million after-tax), decreased natural gas liquids commodity prices (approximately $3 million after-tax), increased production taxes (approximately $3 million after-tax), increased interest expense (approximately $2 million after-tax) and a year-over-year after-tax $42.7 million non-cash mark-to-market decrease in derivatives (resulting from an after-tax $9.5 million non-cash mark-to-market gain on derivatives for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and an after-tax $52.2 million non-cash mark-to-market gain on derivatives for the six months ended June 30, 2012) were partially offset by increased oil and natural gas liquids production volumes (approximately $45 million), higher natural gas and oil commodity prices (approximately $15 million after-tax) and a 2012 noncash impairment in the first quarter of 2012 on certain natural gas properties in East Texas of approximately $13.4 million after-tax. Energen's natural gas utility, Alagasco, reportedAlagasco’s net income of $46.5 million in the current year-to-date compared to net income of $47.2 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to net income of $46.9 millionsame period in the same period lastprevious year. This increase primarily reflects the utility’s ability to earn on a higher level of equity in support of Alagasco's investment in its distribution system and support systems devoted to public service.
 
Oil and Gas Operations
Revenues from oil and gas operations rose 13.9declined 3.5 percent to $255.0385.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 largely as a result of the non-cash mark-to-market decrease in derivatives combined with decreased realized natural gas liquids commodity prices and lower natural gas production volumes partially offset by higher oil and natural gas liquids production volumes and increased realized natural gas and oil commodity prices. Revenues from oil and gas operations rose 2.7 percent to March 31,$640.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 largelyprimarily as a result of higher oil and natural gas liquids production volumes combinedalong with increased realized natural gas and oil commodity prices partially offset by lower natural gas production volumes, and decreased realized natural gas liquids commodity prices.prices and the non-cash mark-to-market decrease in derivatives. During the current quarter, revenue per unit of production for natural gas increased 8.421.1 percent to $4.27$4.30 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf), while oil revenue per unit of production rose slightly1.7 percent to $85.66$87.13 per barrel. Natural gas liquids revenue per unit of production fell 11.56.7 percent to an average price of $0.77$0.70 per gallon. In the year-to-date, revenue per unit of production for natural gas rose 14.1 percent to $4.28 per Mcf, oil revenue per unit of production increased 1.2 percent to $86.43 per barrel and natural gas liquids revenue per unit of production fell 9.9 percent to an average price of $0.73 per gallon. Revenues per unit of production include realized prices and the effects of designated cash flow hedges and exclude the impact of the non-cash mark-to-market hedges.

Production for the current quarter and year-to-date increased largely due to higher volumes related to increased field development in certain Permian Basin liquids-rich properties offset by normal production declines. Natural gas production in the firstsecond quarter declined 7.44.5 percent to 17.718.4 billion cubic feet (Bcf), oil volumes increased 18.618.2 percent to 2,3172,595 thousand barrels (MBbl) and natural gas liquids production rose 6.223 percent to 27.634.2 million gallons (MMgal). For the year-to-date, natural gas production declined 5.9 percent to 36.1 Bcf, while oil volumes rose 18.4 percent to 4,912 MBbl. Natural gas liquids production increased 14.9 percent to 61.8 MMgal. Oil and natural gas liquids comprised approximatelyslightly more than 50 percent of Energen Resources' production for the current quarter.quarter and year-to-date.

Energen Resources may, in the ordinary course of business, be involved in the sale of developed or undeveloped properties. The Company includes gains and losses on the disposition of these assets in operating revenues. Energen Resources recorded a pre-tax gainloss of $0.7$0.5 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2013 and a pre-tax gain of $0.2 million in the year-to-date from the sale of various Permian Basin properties. Energen Resources recorded no property salesa pre-tax gain of $0.2 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2012.2012 and year-to-date from the sale of various properties.

Operations and maintenance (O&M) expense increased $31.4$24 million for the quarter.quarter and $55.4 million for the year-to-date. Lease operating expense (excluding production taxes) generally reflects year over year increases in the number of active wells resulting from Energen Resources' ongoing development, exploratory and acquisition activities. Lease operating expense (excluding production taxes) increased $24.9$13.2 million for the quarter largely due to additional workover and repair expense (approximately $10.7$4.7 million), increased water disposalenvironmental compliance costs (approximately $3.5$1.8 million), higher ad valorem taxes (approximately $3.5$1.3 million), higher electrical costs (approximately $1.1 million), increased marketing and transportation costs (approximately $1 million), additional equipment rental expense(approximately $3.4expense (approximately $1 million), increased gathering costs (approximately $1.3$0.9 million) and increased chemical and treatment costs (approximately $1.1$0.7 million). In the year-to-date, lease operating expense (excluding production taxes) increased $38.2 million primarily due to increased workover and repair expense (approximately $15.4 million), increased ad valorem taxes (approximately $4.8 million), additional equipment rental expense (approximately $4.4 million), higher water disposal costs (approximately $3.4 million), increased gathering costs (approximately $2.2 million), increased environmental compliance costs (approximately $2.1 million), higher electrical costs (approximately $2 million), increased chemical and treatment costs (approximately $1.8 million), higher marketing and transportation costs (approximately $1.2 million) and increased nonoperated expense (approximately $1 million) partially offset by decreased O&M expense (approximately $1.4 million) . On a per unit basis, the average lease operating expense (excluding production taxes) for the current quarter was $13.77$11.12 per barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) as compared to $9.84$9.69 per BOE in the same period a year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the average lease operating expense (excluding production taxes) was $12.38 per BOE as compared to $9.76 per BOE in the previous period. Administrative expense increased $6.8$8.2 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2013 largely due to higher labor costs (approximately $2.9 million) and increased costs from the Company’s benefit and performance-based compensation plans (approximately $2.6$5.5 million) and higher labor costs (approximately $2.5 million). For the six months ended June 30, 2013, administrative expense rose $15 million primarily due to increased costs from the Company’s benefit and performance-based compensation plans (approximately $8.1 million) and higher labor costs (approximately $5.4 million). Exploration expense fell $0.3rose $2.5 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2013.2013 and $2.2 million year-to-date.

Energen Resources' DD&A expense for the quarter rose $30 million. For the year-to-date, Energen Resources' DD&A expense increased $20.5$50 million, excluding the prior year impairment writedown on certain properties in East Texas of $21.5 million pre-tax to adjust the carrying amount of certain properties to their fair value based on expected future discounted cash flows. The average depletion rate for the current quarter was $17.46$18.54 per BOE as compared to

27



$14.44 $14.90 per BOE in the same period a year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the average depletion rate was $18.03 per BOE as compared to $14.68 per BOE, excluding the asset impairment, in the same period a year ago.previous period. The increase in the current quarter and year-to-date per unit DD&A rate, which contributed approximately $17.9$23.6 million and $41.5 million, respectively, to the increase in DD&A expense, was largely due to higher rates resulting from an increase in development costs.costs and the impact from downward reserve revisions related to natural gas reserves at year-end. Higher production volumes contributed approximately $2.4$6.1 million and $8.5 million to the increase in DD&A expense for the quarter.quarter and year-to-date, respectively.

Energen Resources' expense for taxes other than income taxes was $0.2$4.3 million higher in the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2013largely due to production-related taxes. Higher natural gas and oil commodity market prices contributed approximately $3.5 million to the increase in production-related taxes and higher oil and natural gas liquids commodity production volumes contributed approximately $0.4$0.9 million to the increase. Energen Resources' expense for taxes other than income taxes was $4.5 million higher in the six months ended June 30, 2013 largely due to production-related taxes. In the year-to-date, higher net commodity market prices contributed approximately $3.3 million to the increase in production-related taxes partially offset by a decrease ofand higher commodity production volumes contributed approximately $0.2$1.3 million primarily due to lower net commodity market prices.the increase. Commodity market prices exclude the effects of derivative instruments for purposes of determining severance taxes.

Natural Gas Distribution
Natural gas distribution revenues increased $43.2$33.6 million for the quarter largely due to higherthe pass-through of gas costs and an increase in customer usage partially offset bycombined with adjustments from the utility’s rate setting mechanisms. During the firstsecond quarter of 2013, Alagasco had a net $2.43.8 million pre-tax reduction in revenues to bring the return on average common equity to midpoint within the allowed range of return. During the second quarter of 2012, Alagasco had a net $5.0 million pre-tax reduction in revenues to bring the return on average common equity to midpoint within the allowed range of return. For the second quarter, weather that was 28.7312 percent colder than in the same quarter in the prior year contributed to a 26an 82 percent increase in residential sales volumes and a 22.234.9 percent rise in commercial and industrial customer sales volumes. Transportation volumes increased decreased 7.3 percent in period comparisons. Revenues for the year-to-date rose $76.8 million primarily due to the pass-through of gas costs along with additional customer usage partially offset by adjustments from the utility’s rate setting mechanisms. During the year-to date 2013, Alagasco had a net $6.3

28



million pre-tax reduction in revenues to bring the return on average common equity to midpoint within the allowed range of return. In the 2012 year-to-date, Alagasco had a net reduction in revenues of $5.0 million pre-tax to bring the return on average common equity to midpoint within the allowed range of return. Weather, for the current year-to-date, that was 48.1 percent colder compared with the same period in the prior year contributed to a 36.9 percent increase in residential sales volumes and a 26 percent rise in commercial and industrial customer sales volumes. Transportation volumes decreased slightly in period comparisons. Higher gas costs combined with an increase in gas purchase volumes resulted in a 60.2248 percent increase in cost of gas for the quarter.quarter and a 95.2 percent increase in cost of gas year-to-date. Utility gas costs include commodity cost, risk management gains and losses and the provisions of the Gas Supply Adjustment (GSA) rider. The GSA rider in Alagasco's rate schedule provides for a pass-through of gas price fluctuations to customers without markup. Alagasco's tariff provides a temperature adjustment mechanism, also included in the GSA, that is designed to moderate the impact of departures from normal temperatures on Alagasco’s earnings. The temperature adjustment applies primarily to residential, small commercial and small industrial customers.

O&M expense rose 11.6 percentfell slightly in the current quarter primarily due to higher labor-related costs (approximately $1.9$1.1 million) which were offset by lower insurance costs (approximately $0.7 million) and decreased consulting and technology costs (approximately $0.5 million). In the six months ended June 30, 2013, O&M expense increased 5.4 percent largely due to increased labor-related costs (approximately $3 million), additional distribution operation expenses (approximately $1$0.6 million), and higher bad debt expense (approximately $0.5$0.4 million) and increased business development and marketing expensepartially offset by lower insurance costs (approximately $0.4$0.7 million).

A 2.73.2 percent increase in depreciation expense in the current quarter and a 3 percent increase in the year-to-date was primarily due to the extension and replacement of the utility's distribution system and replacement of its support systems. Taxes other than income taxes primarily reflected various state and local business taxes as well as payroll-related taxes. State and local business taxes generally are based on gross receipts and fluctuate accordingly.

Non-Operating Items
Interest expense for the Company rose $1.3$1.5 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2013 and $2.8 million year-to-date largely due to higher short-term borrowings. Income tax expense for the Company increased $0.3decreased $27 million and $26.7 million in the current quarter.quarter and year-to-date, respectively, largely due to lower pre-tax income.

FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY
     

Cash flows from operations for the year-to-date were $261.5539.8 million as compared to $231.0425.9 million in the prior period. The Company’s working capital needs were influenced by accrued taxes, commodity prices and the timing of payments and recoveries, including gas supply pass-through adjustments and refundable negative salvage costs. Working capital needs at Alagasco were additionally affected by higher gas costs and changes to storage gas inventory compared to the prior period.

The Company had a net outflow of cash from investing activities of $309.4681.9 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2013 primarily due to additions of property, plant and equipment of $310$684 million. Energen Resources incurred on a cash basis $291$639 million in capital expenditures primarily related to the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties. Utility capital expenditures on a cash basis totaled $19.044.7 million year-to-date and primarily represented expansion and replacement of its distribution system and replacement of its support facilities and information systems.

The Company provided net cash of $58.6136.2 million from financing activities in the year-to-date primarily due to an increase in short-term borrowings partially offset by the payment of dividends to common shareholders.

Oil and Gas Operations
The Company plans to continue investing significant capital in Energen Resources’ oil and gas production operations. For 2013, the Company expects its oil and gas capital spending to total approximately $1,015 million, including $795 million$1 billion, primarily all of which is for existing properties, including exploration to date of $96$221 million. On an annual basis, the development and exploration expenditures cannot be reasonably

28



segregated as drilling and development throughout the course of the year may change the classification of locations currently identified as exploratory. 

In June 2013, Energen Resources classified its Black Warrior Basin properties in Alabama as held-for-sale and began marketing these coalbed methane assets. At December 31, 2012, proved reserves associated with Energen's Black Warrior Basin properties totaled 97 Bcf of natural gas. The Company anticipates the sale being completed within the next twelve-months and using the proceeds from the sale to repay short-term obligations.


29



The Company also may allocate additional capital for other oil and gas activities such as property acquisitions and additional development of existing properties. Energen Resources may evaluate acquisition opportunities which arise in the marketplace and from time to time will pursue acquisitions that meet Energen’s acquisition criteria. Energen Resources’ ability to invest in property acquisitions is subject to market conditions and industry trends. Property acquisitions, except as disclosed above, are not included in the aforementioned estimate of oil and gas investments and could result in capital expenditures different from those outlined above. To finance capital spending at Energen Resources, the Company expects to use internally generated cash flow supplemented by its credit facilities. The Company also may issue long-term debt and equity periodically to replace short-term obligations, enhance liquidity and provide for permanent financing. The Company currently has no plans for the issuance of equity.

Impairment
During the first quarter of 2012, Energen Resources recognized a noncash impairment writedown on certain properties in East Texas of $21.5 million pre-tax to adjust the carrying amount of these properties to their fair value based on expected future discounted cash flows. Significant assumptions in valuing the proved reserves included the reserve quantities, anticipated operating costs, anticipated production taxes, future expected natural gas prices and basis differentials, anticipated production declines, and a discount rate of 10 percent commensurate with the risk of the underlying cash flow estimates. The impairment was caused by the impact of lower future natural gas prices. During the first quarter of 2012, future natural gas price curves shifted significantly lower, especially in the next 5 years. This nonrecurring impairment writedown is classified as Level 3 fair value.

Natural Gas Distribution
Alagasco is subject to regulation by the Alabama Public Service Commission (APSC) and is allowed to earn a range of return of 13.15 percent to 13.65 percent on average common equity throughout the term of the Rate Stabilization and Equalization (RSE) order. The Company’s current RSE order has a term extending through December 31, 2014. At its March 2013 monthly meeting, the APSC announced the schedule for a series of public informal proceedings to review the Company’s RSE mechanism. The Company expects discussion topics to include allowed range of return on equity, the timing of term renewal and the term length of renewals.renewal. The public proceedings are scheduled to occur onbeginning September 5, September 25, October 9 and November 13, 2013. RSE limits the utility’s equity upon which a return is permitted to 55 percent of total capitalization, subject to certain adjustments. Given existing economic conditions, Alagasco expects only modest growth in equity supporting Alagasco's investment in its distribution system and support systems devoted to public service as annual dividends are typically paid by the utility.

On June 28, 2010, the APSC approved a reduction in depreciation rates, effective June 1, 2010, for Alagasco with the revised prospective composite depreciation rate approximating 3.1 percent. Related to the lower depreciation rates, Alagasco refunded to eligible customers approximately $25.6 million of refundable negative salvage costs through a one-time bill credit in July 2010. Refunds of negative salvage costs to customers through lower tariff rates were $12.9$14.5 million, $14.2 million, $22.2 million and $2.7 million for the periods January through MarchJune 2013, January through December 2012, January through December 2011 and in December 2010, respectively. Alagasco anticipates refunding approximately $17.516.3 million of refundable negative salvage costs through lower tariff rates over the next twelve months. An additional estimated $41.441.0 million of refundable negative salvage costs will be refunded to eligible customers on a declining basis through lower tariff rates over a seven year period beginning January 1, 2013. The total amount refundable to customers is subject to adjustments over the entire nine year period for charges made to the Enhanced Stability Reserve (ESR) and other commission-approved charges. The refunds as of MarchJune 2013 and the remaining amount refundable over the entire nine year period are due to a re-estimation of future removal costs provided for through the prior depreciation rates. The re-estimation was primarily the result of Alagasco’s actual removal cost experience, combined with technology improvements and Alagasco’s system efficiency improvements, during the five years prior to the approval of the reduction in depreciation rates.

Alagasco is a mature utility operating in a slow-growth service area which includes municipalities that have in recent years experienced population declines. Alagasco's average customer count for 2012 declined approximately 0.6 percent from 2011 and reflected a moderation in decline over the five-year trend. The average customer count for the six months ending June 30, 2013 declined approximately 0.4 percent. Other factors impacting Alagasco's average customer count include recent warmer weather trends, enhanced credit and collection efforts and the loss of customers due to a 2011 weather event. Alagasco monitors the bad debt reserve and makes adjustments as required based on its evaluation of receivables which are impacted by natural gas prices, weather conditions and the underlying current and future economic conditions facing the utility's customer base. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2013, Alagasco reduced the bad debt reserve by approximately $1.1 million primarily due to certain aged receivables transitioned to the utility's long-term collections, in addition to the impact of its collection related initiatives.

Alagasco maintains an investment in storage gas that is expected to average approximately $28$26 million in 2013 but will vary depending upon the price of natural gas. During 2013, Alagasco plans to invest an estimated $75$83 million in capital expenditures for the normal needs of its distribution and support systems and for technology-related projects designed to improve customer service. The utility

29



anticipates funding these capital requirements through internally generated capital and the utilization of its credit facilities. Alagasco also may issue long-term debt periodically to replace short-term obligations, enhance liquidity and provide for permanent financing.


30



During the first quarter of 2013, Alagasco entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell its Birmingham Metro Operations Center which is located on 11.7 acres in downtown Birmingham, Alabama, and has been in service since the 1940's. The property is being classified as held-for sale and has a sales price isof approximately $14 million and the. The sale is expected to close in August of 2013. The cash proceeds will offset the above capital expenditures for the utility and will result in an estimated $69 million net in cash capital expenditures. Effective upon closing, Alagasco plans to lease the facility from the purchaser for a period of approximately 18 months.

Derivative Commodity Instruments
Energen Resources periodically enters into derivative commodity instruments to hedge its price exposure to its estimated oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production. Such instruments may include over-the-counter (OTC) swaps, collars and basis hedges typically with investment and commercial banks and energy-trading firms. At March 31,June 30, 2013, the counterparty agreements under which the Company had active positions did not include collateral posting requirements. Energen Resources was in a net lossgain position with sixtwelve of its active counterparties and in a net gainloss with the remaining sevenone at March 31,June 30, 2013. The Company is at risk for economic loss based upon the creditworthiness of its counterparties. Hedge transactions are pursuant to standing authorizations by the Board of Directors, which do not authorize speculative positions.

In prior years, Alagasco entered into cash flow derivative commodity instruments to hedge its exposure to price fluctuations on its gas supply pursuant to standing authorizations by the Board of Directors. Alagasco has not entered into any cash flow derivative transactions on its gas supply since 2010. Alagasco recognizes all derivatives at fair value as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. Any realized gains or losses are passed through to customers using the mechanisms of the GSA in compliance with Alagasco’s APSC-approved tariff and are recognized as a regulatory asset or regulatory liability.

* Amounts classified in accordance with accounting guidance which permits offsetting fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement.

As of March 31,June 30, 2013, Alagasco had no derivative instruments. As of December 31, 2012, Alagasco had $2.6 million of derivative instruments which are classified as Level 2 fair values and are included in the above table as current liabilities. Alagasco had no derivative instruments classified as Level 3 fair values as of December 31, 2012.

Level 3 assets and liabilities as of March 31,June 30, 2013, represent an immaterial amount of total assets and liabilities. Changes in fair value primarily result from price changes in the underlying commodity. The Company has prepared a sensitivity analysis to evaluate the hypothetical effect that changes in the prices used to estimate fair value would have on the fair value of its derivative instruments. The Company estimates that a 10 percent increase or decrease in commodity prices would result in an approximate $2826 million change in the fair value of open Level 3 derivative contracts. The resulting impact upon the results of operations would be an approximate $5.29.8 million associated with open Level 3 mark-to-market derivative contracts. Cash flow requirements to meet the obligation would not be significantly impacted as gains and losses on the derivative contracts would be similarly offset by sales at the spot market price.

In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) was signed into law. Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act establishes federal oversight and regulation of the over-the-counter derivatives markets and participants in such markets and requires the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to promulgate implementing rules and regulations. The Dodd-Frank Act imposes certain margin, clearing and trade execution requirements. Energen's derivative transactions qualify for the end-user exception which exempts them from certain Dodd-Frank Act margin and exchange clearing requirements pursuant to final regulations adopted by the CFTC and SEC and published in the Federal Register on July 19, 2012. 

Credit Facilities and Working Capital
On October 30, 2012, Energen and Alagasco entered into $1,250 million and $100 million, respectively, five-year syndicated unsecured credit facilities (syndicated credit facilities) with domestic and foreign lenders. Energen obligations under the $1,250 million syndicated credit facility are unconditionally guaranteed by Energen Resources. There are certain restrictive covenants including a financial covenant with a maximum consolidated debt to capitalization ratio of not more than 65 percent for both the Company and Alagasco.


31



At March 31,June 30, 2013, the Company reported negative working capital of $908.2$949.5 million arising from current liabilities of $1,273.01,396.4 million exceeding current assets of $364.8446.9 million. The negative working capital is primarily due to a $69$157 million in increase in borrowings during the first quarter ofyear-to-date 2013 and a $628 million increase in borrowings during 2012 under the syndicated unsecured

32



credit facilities and in support of Energen's capital projects. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles require classification as short term for obligations such as these that are subject to the execution of individual notes with maturity dates less than one year. The syndicated unsecured credit facilities were entered into on October 30, 2012 and have a five-year term. Accordingly, the Company believes that it has adequate financing capacity available for its expected liquidity needs.

Working capital of Energen is also influenced by the fair value of the Company's derivative financial instruments associated with future production. Energen's accounts receivable and accounts payable at March 31,June 30, 2013 include $10.746.1 million and $32.812.5 million, respectively, associated with its derivative financial instruments. Working capital of Alagasco is additionally impacted by the recovery and pass-through of regulatory items and the seasonality of Alagasco's business and reflects an expected pass-through to rate payers of $17.516.3 million in refundable negative salvage costs representing a reduction in future revenues through lower tariff rates. Energen and Alagasco rely upon cash flows from operations supplemented by its syndicated unsecured credit facilities to fund working capital needs.

Credit Ratings
On April 26, 2013, Moody's Investor Service updated its credit opinion for Energen and Alagasco confirming Energen's senior unsecured credit rating as investment grade with a negative outlook. Alagasco's senior unsecured credit rating was lowered one notch but remains investment grade with a negative outlook. Energen and Alagasco's debt ratings by Standard & Poor's are considered investment grade with a stable outlook.

Dividends
Energen expects to pay annual cash dividends of $0.58 per share on the Company’s common stock in 2013. The amount and timing of all dividend payments is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and is based upon business conditions, results of operations, financial conditions and other factors.

Contractual Cash Obligations
In the course of ordinary business activities, Energen enters into a variety of contractual cash obligations and other commitments. Except as discussed below, there have been no material changes to the contractual cash obligations of the Company since December 31, 2012.

Other Commitments
During the third quarter of 2010, Energen Resources received preliminary findings from the Taxation and Revenue Department (the Department) of the State of New Mexico relating to its audit, conducted on behalf of the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR), of federal oil and gas leases in New Mexico. The audit covered periods from January 2004 through December 2008 and included a review of the computation and payment of royalties due on minerals removed from specified U.S. federal leases. The ONRR has proposed certain changes in the method of determining allowable deductions of transportation, fuel and processing costs from royalties due under the terms of the related leases.

As a result of the audit, Energen Resources has been ordered by the ONRR to pay additional royalties on the specified U.S. federal leases in the amount of $142,000 and restructure its accounting for all federal leases in two counties in New Mexico from March 1, 2004 forward. The Company preliminarily estimates that application of the Order to all of the Company's New Mexico federal leases would result in ONRR claims for up to approximately $23 million of additional royalties plus interest and penalties for the period from March 1, 2004 forward. The preliminary findings and subsequent Order (issued April 25, 2011) are contrary to deductions allowed under previous audits, retroactive in application and inconsistent with the Company’s understanding of industry practice. The Company is vigorously contesting the Order and has requested additional information from the ONRR and the Department to assist the Company in evaluating the ONRR Order and the Department's findings. Management is unable, at this time, to determine a range of reasonably possible losses as a result of this Order, and no amount has been accrued as of March 31,June 30, 2013.

On April 4, 2013, a New Mexico corporate tax bill was signed into law which gradually reduces the New Mexico state income tax rate from the current 7.6 percent to 5.9 percent over a five year period.  The Company will recognizerecognized a $1.6 million income tax benefit during the second quarter of 2013, the period the law was enacted, to reflect the impact of this change.

All statements based on future expectations rather than on historical facts are forward-looking statements that are dependent on certain events, risks and uncertainties (many of which are beyond our control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Some of these include, but are not limited to, economic and competitive conditions, production levels, reserve levels, energy markets, supply and demand for and the price of energy commodities including oil, gas and natural gas liquids, fluctuations in the weather, drilling risks, costs associated with compliance with environmental and regulatory obligations, inflation rates, legislative and regulatory changes, financial market conditions, the Company’s ability to access the capital markets, acts of nature, sabotage, terrorism (including cyber-attacks) and other similar acts that disrupt operations or cause damage greater than covered by insurance, future business decisions, utility customer growth and retention and usage per customer, litigation results and other factors and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this report and in the Company’s other public filings and press releases, all of which are difficult to predict. While it is not possible to predict or identify all the factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from expected or historical results, the Company has identified certain risk factors which may affect the Company’s future business and financial performance.

Except as otherwise disclosed, the forward-looking statements do not reflect the impact of possible or pending acquisitions, investments, divestitures or restructurings. The absence of errors in input data, calculations and formulas used in estimates, assumptions and forecasts cannot be guaranteed. Neither the Company nor Alagasco undertakes any obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
 
Commodity prices for crude oil and natural gas are volatile, and a substantial reduction in commodity prices could adversely affect the Company's results and the carrying value of its oil and natural gas properties: The Company and Alagasco are significantly influenced by commodity prices. Historical markets for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids have been volatile. Energen Resources’ revenues, operating results, profitability and cash flows depend primarily upon the prices realized for its oil, gas and natural gas liquid production. Additionally, downward commodity price trends may impact expected cash flows from future production and potentially reduce the carrying value of Company-owned oil and natural gas properties. Alagasco’s competitive position and customer demand is significantly influenced by prices for natural gas which are passed-through to customers.

Market conditions or a downgrade in the credit ratings of the Company or its subsidiaries could negatively impact its cost of and ability to access capital for future development and working capital needs: The Company and its subsidiaries rely on access to credit markets. The availability and cost of credit market access is significantly influenced by market events and rating agency evaluations for lenders, the Company and its subsidiaries. In addition to operating results, business decisions relating to recapitalization, refinancing, restructuring, acquisition and disposition (including by sale, spin-off or distribution) transactions involving the Company, Energen Resources or Alagasco may negatively impact market and rating agency considerations regarding the credit of the Company or its subsidiaries, and the management of the Company periodically considers these types of transactions. Market volatility and credit market disruption may severely limit credit availability and issuer credit ratings can change rapidly. Events negatively affecting credit ratings and credit market liquidity could increase borrowing costs, limit availability of funds to the Company and adversely affect the price of outstanding debt securities.

Energen Resources' hedging activities may prevent Energen Resources from benefiting fully from price increases and expose Energen Resources to other risks, including counterparty credit risk: Although Energen Resources makes use of futures, swaps, options, collars and fixed-price contracts to mitigate price risk, fluctuations in future oil, gas and natural gas liquids prices could materially affect the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows; furthermore, such risk mitigation activities may cause the Company's financial position and results of operations to be materially different from results that would have been obtained had such risk mitigation activities not occurred. The effectiveness of such risk mitigation assumes that counterparties maintain satisfactory credit quality. The effectiveness of such risk mitigation also assumes that actual sales volumes will generally meet or exceed the volumes subject to the futures, swaps, options, collars and fixed-price contracts. A substantial failure to meet sales volume targets, whether caused by miscalculations, weather events, natural disaster, accident, mechanical failure, criminal act or otherwise, could leave Energen Resources financially exposed to its counterparties and result in material adverse financial consequences to Energen Resources and the Company. The adverse effect could be increased if the adverse event was widespread

34



enough to move market prices against Energen Resources' position. In addition, various existing and pending financial reform rules and regulations could have an adverse effect on the ability of Energen Resources to use derivative instruments which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.


33



The Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk as a result of its concentrated customer base: Revenues and related accounts receivable from oil and gas operations primarily are generated from the sale of produced oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids to a small number of energy marketing companies. Such sales are typically made on an unsecured credit basis with payment due the month following delivery. This concentration of sales to a limited number of customers in the energy marketing industry has the potential to affect the Company's overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, based on changes in economic, industry or other conditions specific to a single customer or to the energy marketing industry generally. Energen Resources considers the credit quality of its customers and, in certain instances, may require credit assurances such as a deposit, letter of credit or parent guarantee.

The Company's operations depend upon the use of third party facilities and an interruption of its ability to utilize these facilities may adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations: Energen Resources delivers to and Alagasco is served by third party facilities. These facilities include third party oil and gas gathering, transportation, processing and storage facilities. Energen Resources relies upon such facilities for access to markets for its production. Alagasco relies upon such facilities for access to natural gas supplies. Such facilities are typically limited in number and geographically concentrated. An extended interruption of access to or service from these facilities, whether caused by weather events, natural disaster, accident, mechanical failure, criminal act or otherwise could result in material adverse financial consequences to Energen Resources, Alagasco and the Company.

The Company's oil and natural gas reserves are estimates, and actual future production may vary significantly and may also be negatively impacted by its inability to invest in production on planned timelines: There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved oil and gas reserves and in projecting future rates of production and timing of development expenditures. The total amount or timing of actual future production may vary significantly from reserve and production estimates. In the event Energen Resources is unable to fully invest its planned development, acquisition and exploratory expenditures, future operating revenues, production, and proved reserves could be negatively affected. The drilling of development and exploratory wells can involve significant risks, including those related to timing, success rates and cost overruns, and these risks can be affected by lease and rig availability, complex geology and other factors. Anticipated drilling plans and capital expenditures may also change due to weather, manpower and equipment availability, changing emphasis by management and a variety of other factors which could result in actual drilling and capital expenditures being substantially different than currently planned.

The Company's operations involve operational risk including risk of personal injury, property damage and environmental damage and its insurance policies do not cover all such risks: Inherent in the oil and gas production activities of Energen Resources and the gas distribution activities of Alagasco are a variety of hazards and operation risks, such as:

Pipeline and storage leaks, ruptures and spills;
Equipment malfunctions and mechanical failures;
Fires and explosions;
Well blowouts, explosions and cratering; and
Soil, surface water or groundwater contamination from petroleum constituents, hydraulic fracturing fluid, or produced water.

Such events could result in loss of human life, significant damage to property, environmental pollution, impairment of operations and substantial financial losses. The location of certain of our pipeline and storage facilities near populated areas, including residential areas, commercial business centers and industrial sites, could increase the level of damages resulting from these risks. In accordance with customary industry practices, the Company maintains insurance against some, but not all, of these risks and losses and the insurance coverages are subject to retention levels and coverage limits. The occurrence of any of these events could adversely affect Energen Resources', Alagasco's and the Company's financial positions, results of operations and cash flows.

Alagasco operates in a limited service territory and is therefore subject to concentrated regional risks which may negatively affect Alagasco's financial condition and results of operations: Alagasco’s utility customers are geographically concentrated in central and north Alabama. Significant economic, weather, natural disaster, criminal act or other events that adversely affect this region could adversely affect Alagasco and the Company.

The Company is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations that may require significant expenditures or impose significant restrictions on its operations: Energen and Alagasco are subject to extensive federal, state and local regulation which significantly influences operations. Although the Company believes that operations generally comply with applicable laws and regulations, failure to comply could result in the suspension or termination of operations and subject the Company to administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Federal, state and local legislative bodies and agencies frequently exercise their respective

35



authority to adopt new laws and regulations and to amend, modify and interpret existing laws and regulations.  Such changes can subject the Company to significant tax or cost increases and can impose significant restrictions and limitations on the Company's operations.


34



The Company's business could be negatively impacted by security threats, including cybersecurity threats, and related disruptions: The Company relies on its information technology infrastructure to process, transmit and store electronic information critical for the efficient operation of its business and day-to-day operations. All information systems are potentially vulnerable to security threats, including hacking, viruses, other malicious software, and other unlawful attempts to disrupt or gain access to such systems. Breaches in the Company's information technology infrastructure could lead to a material disruption in its business, including the theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation or release of confidential data or other business information, and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations, financial position and results of operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     

Energen Resources' major market risk exposure is in the pricing applicable to its oil and gas production. Historically, prices received for oil and gas production have been volatile because of seasonal weather patterns, world and national supply-and-demand factors and general economic conditions. Crude oil prices also are affected by quality differentials, by worldwide political developments and by actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Basis differentials, like the underlying commodity prices, can be volatile because of regional supply-and-demand factors, including seasonal factors and the availability and price of transportation to consuming areas.

Energen Resources periodically enters into derivative commodity instruments to hedge its exposure to price fluctuations to its estimated oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production. In prior years, Alagasco entered into cash flow derivative commodity instruments to hedge its gas supply exposure. Such instruments may include over-the-counter swaps, collars and basis hedges with major energy derivative product specialists. The counterparties to the commodity instruments are investment banks and energy-trading firms and are believed to be creditworthy by the Company. The Company is at risk for economic loss based upon the creditworthiness of its counterparties. All hedge transactions are subject to the Company's risk management policy, approved by the Board of Directors, which does not permit speculative positions. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items at the inception of the cash flow hedge, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. As of March 31,June 30, 2013, the maximum term over which Energen Resources has hedged exposures to the variability of cash flows is through December 31, 2015.

A failure to meet sales volume targets at Energen Resources or gas supply targets at Alagasco due to miscalculations, weather events, natural disasters, accidents, mechanical failure, criminal act or otherwise could leave the Company or Alagasco exposed to its counterparties in commodity hedging contracts and result in material adverse financial losses.

See Note 3, Derivative Commodity Instruments, in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements for details related to the Company's hedging activities.

The Company’s interest rate exposure as of March 31,June 30, 2013, primarily relates to its syndicated credit facilities with variable interest rates. The weighted average interest rate for amounts outstanding at March 31,June 30, 2013 was 1.37 percent. The Company's interest rate exposure on long-term debt as of March 31,June 30, 2013, was minimal since approximately 91 percent of long-term debt obligations were at fixed rates.
