HOUSTON, May 6, 2020 – Apache Corporation (NYSE, Nasdaq: APA) today announced its financial and operational results for the first-quarter 2020.
Apache reported a loss of $4.5 billion or $11.86 per diluted common share during the first-quarter 2020. When adjusted for certain items that impact the comparability of results, primarily noncash impairments related to the company’s legacy vertical developments in the Permian Basin, Apache reported a first-quarter loss of $51 million, or $0.13 per share. Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter was $502 million, and adjusted EBITDAX was $764 million.
“The global economy and the energy industry have been deeply impacted by theCOVID-19 pandemic. As we navigate this crisis, Apache’s priorities are protecting the health and safety of our employees and the communities in which we operate and preserving the inherent value and optionality of our diverse asset base for the long-term,” said John J. Christmann IV, Apache’s chief executive officer and president.

Christmann continued, “We have taken several decisive actions to preserve Apache’s financial and operational strength during this difficult time, including reducing our planned 2020 capital program, reducing our dividend, initiating a hedge position to protect from further near-term downside oil price exposure and increasing the cost-saving measures of the organizational redesign that we began last year. We also conducted a thorough economic and operational evaluation of all producing wells across the company to inform the methodical and targeted approach we are taking to production curtailments andshut-ins in this price environment. I am confident these comprehensive steps will enable us to minimize the cash flow impacts of this distressed and volatile price environment.
“Apache remains committed to our long-term objectives, which, despite the current environment, haven’t changed. We will budget conservatively and direct free cash flow, on a priority basis, to debt reduction; maintain a balanced and diversified portfolio; and prioritize investment for long-term returns over production growth. We will also maintain our capacity to generate material free cash flow in Egypt and the North Sea. And, lastly, we will advance the exploration program andfollow-on appraisal activity in Block 58 offshore Suriname.”
COVID-19 response
Apache is prioritizing the health and safety of its employees and communities where it operates. The company responded quickly to theCOVID-19 pandemic by closing many of its offices and implementing work-from-home-processes and stringent operational protocols in the field with minimal business interruption. For example, the company has introduced temperature screenings throughout its operations, expanded assessment of all contractor companies and vendors coming onsite to locations, and increased cleaning measures in the field and in office locations. Apache has developed a thorough and phasedre-entry plan for the eventual reopening of its closed offices and will follow the guidance of local governments before implementing itsre-entry plans. To assist the communities where Apache operates, the company has contributed to theCOVID-19 response with donations of personal protective equipment (PPE) to hospitals and first responders and financial andin-kind contributions to food banks and women’s shelters.

2020 capital budget and outlook
Following the rapid drop in oil prices in early March, Apache announced a plan to reduce activity in Egypt and the North Sea and to eliminate all U.S. drilling and completion activity. This resulted in a $650 million decrease in planned upstream investment, compared to the company’s initial budget announced in late February. Approximately 60% of the revised 2020 investment will be in international assets, compared to approximately 45% in the previous budget.
Liquidity update
Apache has a strong liquidity position, supported by a $4.0 billion revolving credit facility that matures in March of 2024. The facility has commitments from 18 banks, 17 of which are rated A or better, is not subject to borrowing base redeterminations, has no covenants that are triggered by credit ratings, and includes a $2 billion committed sublimit for letters of credit.
In April, Apache posted letters of credit (LCs) under the LC sublimit aggregating approximately $800 million related to asset retirement obligations in the U.K. North Sea. These postings utilize a portion of that facility.
In addition to the company’s ample liquidity, Apache also maintains a very manageable bond maturity profile. In the event the company is unable to generate free cash flow to retire or refinance its bond maturities over the next three years, the revolver could be used to pay them down.
First-quarter operational summary
First-quarter reported production was 468,000 BOE per day; adjusted production, which excludes Egypt noncontrolling interest and tax barrels, was 423,000 BOE per day.

During the first quarter, Apache operated an average of 21 rigs and drilled and completed 44 gross-operated wells worldwide. Highlights from Apache’s principal areas include:
• | United States– Operated an average of seven rigs, drilled and completed 24 gross-operated wells, all of which were in the Permian, and reported production of 283,000 BOE per day. |
Permian Basin production averaged 273,000 BOE per day, including oil production of 97,000 BOE per day. Following the significant drop in oil prices in early March, Apache decided to reduce its rig count to zero in the Permian. The company is down to one rig in the Delaware Basin, which is currently finishing its last well. After which, the company will have approximately 70 drilled and uncompleted (DUC) wells in the unconventional Midland and Delaware Basins, 15 of which are in Alpine High.
• | Midland Basin – Averaged four rigs and placed 12 wells on production, all on multi-well pads. Substantially completed drilling the company’s first3-mile lateral pad, achieving significant cost savings. Completion of these five wells has been deferred due to the current price environment. |
• | Delaware Basin – Averaged three rigs and placed 11 wells on production. Alpine High production averaged 94,000 BOE per day with a 39% liquids mix. |
• | International– Operated an average of 14 rigs, drilled and completed 20 gross-operated wells and reported production of 185,000 BOE per day. |
• | Egypt– Averaged 11 rigs, drilled and completed 16 gross-operated wells and reported production of 116,000 BOE per day, or 72,000 BOE per day on an adjusted basis. Achieved a 94% drilling success rate, including four successful exploration tests. |
• | North Sea – Averaged two rigs and drilled and completed four gross operated wells during the quarter. Production of 69,000 BOE per day was up 9% from the fourth quarter, driven by the high-volumeGarten-2 well, which was placed on production in late January. |
• | Suriname – On Jan. 7, Apache (50% interest) and its partner Total S.A. (50% interest) announced a significant oil discovery offshore Suriname in Block 58 atMakaCentral-1. On April 2, the partners |

announced a second significant oil discovery in Block 58 at SapakaraWest-1, and in the second half of April, commenced drilling on a third exploration well,Kwaskwasi-1, which is located approximately 10 kilometers (6 miles) northwest of SapakaraWest-1. FollowingKwaskwasi-1, a fourth exploration prospect, KeskesiEast-1, will be drilled approximately 10 kilometers (6 miles) southeast of the Sapakara discovery well. |
“While the 2020 outlook for the global economy and the oil and gas industry, specifically, is uncertain,
we have made great strides in this environment to reduce our cost structure, protect our balance sheet, and manage our operations to preserve cash flow. Our teams have done an exceptional job implementing our organization redesign, responding to the recent changes in activity levels and operational protocols, and are delivering very good results in both our exploration and development programs. When market conditions improve, I am confident we will successfully leverage Apache’s diversified portfolio to differentiate our long-term value proposition for shareholders,” concluded Christmann.

Forward-looking statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “continues,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “guidance,” “may,” “might,” “outlook,” “possibly,” “potential,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar references to future periods, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

drilling plans, production expectations, asset sales, and monetizations. While forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, whether actual results and developments will meet our expectations and predictions depend on a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause our actual results, performance, and financial condition to differ materially from our expectations. See “Risk Factors” in our 2019 Form10-K and in our quarterly reports on Form10-Q filed, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for a discussion of risk factors that affect our business. Any forward-looking statement made by Apache in this news release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. Apache undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future development or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
Cautionary note to investors
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable, and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms. Apache may use certain terms in this news release, such as “resources,” “potential resources,” “resource potential,” “estimated net reserves,” “recoverable reserves,” and other similar terms that the SEC guidelines strictly prohibit Apache from including in filings with the SEC. Such terms do not take into account the certainty of resource recovery, which is contingent on exploration success, technical improvements in drilling access, commerciality and other factors, and are therefore not indicative of expected future resource recovery and should not be relied upon. Investors are urged to consider carefully the disclosure in Apache’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2019 available from Apache atwww.apachecorp.com or by writing Apache at: 2000 Post Oak Blvd., Suite 100, Houston, TX 77056 (Attn: Corporate Secretary). You can also obtain this report from the SEC by calling1-800-SEC-0330 or from the SEC’s website atwww.sec.gov.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(In millions, except per share data)
Reconciliation of Net cash provided by operating activities to Adjusted EBITDAX
Management believes EBITDAX, or earnings before income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation, amortization and exploration expense is a widely accepted financial indicator, and useful for investors, to assess a company’s ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures, and make distributions to shareholders. We define adjusted EBITDAX, anon-GAAP financial measure, as EBITDAX adjusted for certain items presented in the accompanying reconciliation. Management uses adjusted EBITDAX to evaluate our ability to fund our capital expenditures, debt services and other operational requirements and to compare our results from period to period by eliminating the impact of certain items that management does not consider to be representative of the Company’son-going operations. Management also believes adjusted EBITDAX facilitates investors and analysts in evaluating and comparing EBITDAX from period to period by eliminating differences caused by the existence and timing of certain operating expenses that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. However, our presentation of adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies in our industry.

Reconciliation of Income attributable to common stock to Adjusted earnings
Our presentation of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share arenon-GAAP measures because they exclude the effect of certain items included in Income Attributable to Common Stock. Management believes that adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share provides relevant and useful information, which is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry as well as by our management in assessing the Company’s operational trends and comparability of results to our peers.
Management uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share to evaluate our operating and financial performance because it eliminates the impact of certain items that management does not consider to be representative of the Company’son-going business operations. As a performance measure, adjusted earnings may be useful to investors in facilitating comparisons to others in the Company’s industry because certain items can vary substantially in the oil and gas industry from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, capital structure and asset sales and other divestitures, among other factors. Management believes excluding these items facilitates investors and analysts in evaluating and comparing the underlying operating and financial performance of our business from period to period by eliminating differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense and income items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. However, our presentation of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies in our industry.

Reconciliation of Costs incurred to Upstream capital investment
Management believes the presentation of upstream capital investments is useful for investors to assess Apache’s expenditures related to our upstream capital activity. We define capital investments as costs incurred for oil and gas activities, adjusted to exclude asset retirement obligation revisions and liabilities incurred, capitalized interest, and certain exploration expenses, while including amounts paid during the period for abandonment and decommissioning expenditures. Upstream capital expenditures attributable to aone-third noncontrolling interest in Egypt are also excluded. Management believes this provides a more accurate reflection of Apache’s cash expenditures related to upstream capital activity and is consistent with how we plan our capital budget.

Reconciliation of Net cash provided by operating activities to Cash flows from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities
Cash flows from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities is anon-GAAP financial measure. Apache uses it internally and provides the information because management believes it is useful for investors and widely accepted by those following the oil and gas industry as a financial indicator of a company’s ability to generate cash to internally fund exploration and development activities, fund dividend programs, and service debt. It is also used by research analysts to value and compare oil and gas exploration and production companies and is frequently included in published research when providing investment recommendations. Cash flows from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities, therefore, is an additional measure of liquidity but is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities.
