California Resources Corporation Announces Fourth Quarter 2020 and Full Year Results

Mar. 11, 2021

SANTA CLARITA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 11, 2021--California Resources Corporation (NYSE: CRC), an independent California-based oil and natural gas exploration and production company, today reported fourth quarter and full year 2020 results. Operational and financial highlights were as follows:

2020 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Highlights

* For the full year of 2020, CRC reported net income of $1,871 million and an adjusted net loss attributable to common stock1 of $257 million, excluding unusual and infrequent items primarily related to CRC's bankruptcy proceedings and asset impairments * For the full year of 2020, reported net cash provided by operating activities of $106 million while generating free cash flow1 of $172 million, excluding $113 million of one time bankruptcy related fees * For the full year of 2020, reported adjusted EBITDAX1 of $489 million with an adjusted EBITDAX margin1 of 28% * For the fourth quarter of 2020, produced an average of 103,000 net barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day, including 63,000 barrels per day of oil and an average of 111,000 net BOE per day, including 69,000 barrels per day of oil for the full year 2020 * Exited 2020 with an average daily net production of 102,000 BOE per day, including 63,000 barrels per day of oil * Decreased operating costs, on a per BOE basis, by 19% to $15.45 in 2020 from $19.16 in 2019 * Published third annual Sustainability Report showcasing positive progress on CRC's 2030 Sustainability Goals and secured a top score at CDP's Leadership Level * Completed a financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy with a simplified balance sheet and ample liquidity

Other Highlights

* In January 2021, CRC further simplified its balance sheet by completing an offering of $600 million of 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2026. The net proceeds of $590 million were used to repay in full CRC's Second Lien Term Loan and senior secured notes issued by its subsidiary Elk Hills Power, LLC. The remaining proceeds were used to pay down a portion of CRC's Revolving Credit Facility * Consistent with the Company's new strategic direction and low-cost operator focus, CRC has implemented a number of personnel-related cost reduction initiatives to further optimize its organizational structure. Excluding one-time severance charges, these personnel related changes are expected to reduce the compensation expense component of CRC's 2021 operating expenses by approximately $15 million per year and general and administrative expenses by approximately $50 million per year from its 2020 levels

Mac McFarland, CRC's Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We continued our strategic repositioning efforts, making progress on sustainable cost reductions and resuming prudent capital and maintenance spending. CRC will host a Strategy Day on March 18, 2021, and we look forward to providing further details of our full-scale business review and our strategic re-alignment at that time."

Fresh Start Accounting and Predecessor and Successor Periods

Upon emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings on October 27, 2020, CRC adopted and applied the relevant guidance with respect to the accounting and financial reporting for entities that have emerged from bankruptcy proceedings. Under fresh start accounting, the reorganized entity is considered a new reporting entity. CRC applied fresh start accounting as of October 31, 2020, an accounting convenience date, and the reorganization value of the emerging entity was assigned to individual assets and liabilities based on their estimated relative fair values. As such, fresh start accounting was reflected on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2020. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, the financial statements after October 31, 2020 may not be comparable to the financial statements prior to that date. References to "Predecessor" refer to the Company for periods ended on or prior to October 31, 2020 and references to "Successor" refer to the Company for periods subsequent to October 31, 2020.

Review of Operating and Financial Results

Total daily net production volumes decreased 16% from 123,000 BOE per day for the fourth quarter of 2019 to 103,000 BOE per day for the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease from the same prior-year period over CRC's low to mid-teens natural decline rate was primarily due to 2,000 BOE per day of shut-in production driven by the collapse in commodity prices and power outages, lower capital investment, and reduction of well repair work. On an annual basis, total daily net production volumes decreased 13% year-over-year, from 128,000 BOE per day in 2019 to 111,000 BOE per day in 2020. The decrease from the same prior-year period was primarily due a reduced capital program, approximately 3,000 BOE per day of shut-in production, the full year impact of the Lost Hills divestiture and reduction of well repair work. Production sharing contracts in our Long Beach assets increased CRC's share of oil production by approximately 2,100 and 2,700 barrels per day in the fourth quarter and full year of 2020 compared to the same prior-year periods, respectively. CRC exited 2020 with average daily net production of 102,000 BOE per day, including 63,000 barrels per day of oil. See Attachment 2 for further information on production information.

Realized crude oil prices, including the effect of settled hedges, decreased by $25.82 per barrel from $70.21 in the fourth quarter of 2019 to $44.39 per barrel in the fourth quarter of 2020. On an annual basis, realized crude oil prices, including the effect of settled hedges, decreased by $25.12 per barrel from $68.65 in 2019 to $43.53 per barrel. Brent realized prices were lower in 2020 compared to the same prior-year period due to the combination of the supply increase caused by the Saudi-Russia price war that began earlier in the year and the continuation of severe demand decline caused by shelter-in-place orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, in 2020, CRC's oil realizations continued to favorably benefit from Brent linked pricing as compared to other U.S. benchmarks. See Attachment 5 for further information on realizations.

Adjusted EBITDAX1 for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $116 million and cash used in operating activities was $35 million. On an annual basis, adjusted EBITDAX1 was $489 million and cash provided by operating activities was $106 million. For the fourth quarter of 2020, free cash flow1 was ($6) million, excluding $39 million of one-time costs incurred relating to CRC's bankruptcy, after taking into account CRC's internally funded capital of $10 million. For the full year, free cash flow1 was $172 million, excluding $113 million of one-time bankruptcy related fees, after taking into account CRC's internally funded capital of $47 million.

FREE CASH FLOW



Management uses free cash flow, which is defined by us as net cash provided byoperating activities less capital investments, as a measure of liquidity. Thefollowing table presents a reconciliation of our net cash provided by operatingactivities to free cash flow. We have excluded one-time costs for legal andprofessional fees related to our bankruptcy proceedings during 2020 as asupplemental measure of our free cash flow.

Operating costs for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $165 million, compared to $211 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. For the full year 2020, operating costs were $625 million, compared to $895 million in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to efficiencies and streamlining of operations, reduced operating costs from shut-in wells as well as lower activity levels, such as downhole maintenance. Operating costs per BOE are presented below:

OPERATING COSTS PER BOE



The reporting of our PSC-type contracts creates a difference between reportedoperating costs, which are for the full field, and reported volumes, which areonly our net share, inflating the per barrel operating costs. The followingtable presents operating costs after adjusting for the excess costsattributable to PSC-type contracts.

G&A expenses were $59 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $62 million in the same prior-year period. For the full year of 2020, G&A expenses were $252 million, compared to $290 million in 2019. The decrease in G&A expenses resulted from workforce reductions, cost saving efforts and a decline in spending across a number of cost categories. These savings were partially offset by the cost of obtaining additional directors and officers insurance related to the Chapter 11 cases, lower capitalized salary costs as a result of suspending the capital program beginning in March 2020 as well a slight increase in employee incentive awards due to changes to the variable portion of the incentive compensation program in May 2020, which had the effect of increasing CRC's cash-settled awards to target and achieving a higher target payout on performance metrics.

CRC reported taxes other than on income of $23 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $38 million for the same prior-year period. For the full year of 2020, CRC reported taxes other than on income of $144 million, compared to $157 million in 2019. The decrease primarily resulted from reduced emissions in 2020 as compared to 2019 due to lower activity levels, including shut-in wells, and better than expected market pricing on the purchase of greenhouse gas emissions credits. Exploration expense was $2 million and $11 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 and for the whole year, respectively, mostly due to limited exploration activity in 2020 as a result of the lower commodity price environment.

Total internally funded capital invested during the fourth quarter of 2020 was $10 million. For the full year of 2020, total capital invested was $140 million, of which $47 million was internally funded by CRC. CRC's JV partners Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets Inc. (MIRA) and Alpine Energy Capital, LLC (Alpine) invested an additional $1 million and $92 million, respectively, which are excluded from CRC's consolidated results.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity Update

In January 2021, CRC completed an offering of $600 million of 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2026. The net proceeds of $590 million were used to repay in full the second lien term loan and all outstanding senior secured notes due 2027 issued by CRC's subsidiary Elk Hills Power, LLC, with the remaining $90 million used to pay down a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2020, CRC had liquidity of $335 million, which consisted of $28 million in unrestricted cash and $307 million of available borrowing capacity under its Revolving Credit Facility. After giving effect to the January 2021 debt issuance discussed above, CRC would have had, on a pro forma basis, liquidity of $425 million as of December 31, 2020, which consisted of $28 million in unrestricted cash and $397 million of available borrowing capacity under its Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 01, 2021, CRC had an undrawn revolving credit facility, $125 million in letters of credit outstanding and liquidity of approximately $475 million.

Organization Changes

During the second half of 2020, CRC implemented organizational changes that resulted in a 12% reduction of overall headcount to approximately 1,100 employees. Subsequent to the quarter-end, CRC took steps to further align the cost structure with the objective to focus around core assets and cost performance. This included decisions to reduce the size of its management team and to realign several functions which resulted in further headcount and cost reductions. During the first quarter of 2021, CRC further reduced its headcount by an additional 9% to approximately 1,000 employees.

Excluding one-time severance charges, these personnel related changes are expected to reduce the compensation expense component of CRC's 2021 operating expenses by approximately $15 million per year and general and administrative expenses by approximately $50 million per year from its 2020 levels.

Operational Update

In the fourth quarter of 2020, CRC operated no drilling rigs. The San Joaquin basin produced 74,000 net BOE per day. The Los Angeles basin produced 23,000 net BOE per day, the Ventura basin produced 3,000 net BOE per day and the Sacramento basin produced 3,000 net BOE per day.

2021 Capital Budget

CRC's capital program will be dynamic in response to oil market volatility while focusing on maintaining strong liquidity and maximizing free cash flow. The 2021 capital program will target reinvestment of approximately 50% of anticipated available cash flow from operations at current commodity prices. CRC's 2021 capital program is anticipated to be between $200 and $225 million, including approximately $40 million of mechanical integrity and midstream turnaround activities deferred from 2020 to 2021. The current plan anticipates CRC to gradually raise quarterly investment throughout the year if the commodity environment continues to strengthen. CRC will maintain the flexibility to adjust its capital program in response to declining market conditions.

Reserves

As of December 31, 2020, CRC had estimated proved reserves totaling 442 million BOE, of which 382 million BOE was proved developed and 60 million BOE was proved undeveloped. The estimated future net cash flows of our proved reserve volumes had a PV-10 value of $2.43 billion. These estimates were based on SEC pricing and the average realized prices for estimating CRC's proved reserves were $42.35 per barrel for oil, $26.42 per barrel for NGLs and $2.28 per Mcf for natural gas.

PV-10 AND STANDARDIZED MEASURE



The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure ofStandardized Measure of discounted future net cash flows (Standardized Measure)to the non-GAAP financial measure of PV-10:



($ millions) December 31, 2020

Standardized Measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 1,932

Present value of future income taxes discounted at 10% 494

PV-10 of cash flows^ (*) $ 2,426



(*) PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents the year-end presentvalue of estimated future cash inflows from proved oil and natural gasreserves, less future development and operating costs, discounted at 10% perannum to reflect the timing of future cash flows and using SEC prescribedpricing assumptions for the period. PV-10 differs from Standardized Measurebecause Standardized Measure includes the effects of future income taxes onfuture net cash flows. Neither PV-10 nor Standardized Measure should beconstrued as the fair value of our oil and natural gas reserves. StandardizedMeasure is prescribed by the SEC as an industry standard asset value measure tocompare reserves with consistent pricing costs and discount assumptions. PV-10facilitates the comparisons to other companies as it is not dependent on thetax-paying status of the entity.

Based on average realized prices of $55 per barrel of oil and $2.50 per Mcf for natural gas, CRC's estimated proved reserves would be 515 million BOE, including 441 million BOE of proved developed and 74 million BOE of proved undeveloped reserves. Management's internal estimate of PV-10 value at these prices would be approximately $4.75 billion2.

ESG Update

As a dependable and reliable energy producer in the State of California, in 2020, CRC maintained the highest CDP ranking among all U.S. oil and gas companies, tying for first with one other U.S.-based E&P with global operations, and released the third annual Sustainability report with expanded disclosures. Underscoring the Company's commitment to safe and responsible production, CRC's ESG performance and progress on its 2030 Sustainability Goals, which align with California's climate goals toward carbon neutrality in accordance with the Paris Climate Accord, continue to be directly tied to the performance-based compensation of its executives, senior managers and employees. The new Board of Directors will continue to highlight, monitor and provide guidance on CRC ESG efforts, including a strong commitment to sustainability, HSE and community engagement.

Hedging Update as of February 28, 2021

CRC will utilize its hedging program to ensure strong cash flows in nearly any commodity price environment and will target approximately 80% of anticipated production. The current strategy includes a mix of swaps and options to ensure CRC's ability to generate free cash flow and is also aligned with CRC's reserve-based lending (RBL) requirements. See Attachment 7 for further information on CRC's current hedges.

2021 Strategy Day

On March 18, 2021, at 1 p.m. Eastern Time/10 a.m. Pacific Time, CRC will host a virtual Strategy Day to review the Company's strategic repositioning, expected outcomes of the new strategic alignment and 2021 guidance. Participants can preregister here for the live webcast or access in the Investor Relations section of CRC.com the day of the event. A digital replay of the event will be archived for approximately 90 days and supplemental slides for the event will also be available in the Investor Relations section on www.crc.com.

As such, no standardized measure of proved reserves using $55per barrel for oil and $2.50 per Mcf for natural gas has been provided. About California Resources Corporation

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATIONS



Our results of operations, which are presented in accordance with U.S.generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), can include the effects ofunusual, out-of-period and infrequent transactions and events affectingearnings that vary widely and unpredictably (in particular certain non-cashitems such as derivative gains and losses) in nature, timing, amount andfrequency. Therefore, management uses certain non-GAAP measures to assess ourfinancial condition, results of operations and cash flows. These measures arewidely used by the industry, the investment community and our lenders. Althoughthese are non-GAAP measures, the amounts included in the calculations werecomputed in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from these non-GAAPmeasures are significant components in understanding and assessing ourfinancial performance, such as our cost of capital and tax structure, as wellas the effect of acquisition and development costs of our assets. Thesemeasures should be read in conjunction with the information contained in ourfinancial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.



Below are additional disclosures regarding each of the non-GAAP measuresreported in this press release, including reconciliations to their mostdirectly comparable GAAP measure where applicable.

ADJUSTED NET INCOME (LOSS)

Management uses a measure called adjusted net income (loss) to provide useful information to investors interested in comparing our core operations between periods and our performance to our peers. This measure is not meant to disassociate the effects of unusual, out-of-period and infrequent items affecting earnings from management's performance but rather is meant to provide useful information to investors interested in comparing our financial performance between periods. Reported earnings are considered representative of management's performance over the long term. Adjusted net income (loss) is not considered to be an alternative to net income (loss) reported in accordance with GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) attributable to common stock to the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted net income (loss) and presents the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) attributable to common stock per diluted share and the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share.

ADJUSTED NET INCOME (LOSS)



Management uses a measure called adjusted net income (loss) to provide usefulinformation to investors interested in comparing our core operations betweenperiods and our performance to our peers. This measure is not meant todisassociate the effects of unusual, out-of-period and infrequent itemsaffecting earnings from management's performance but rather is meant to provideuseful information to investors interested in comparing our financialperformance between periods. Reported earnings are considered representative ofmanagement's performance over the long term. Adjusted net income (loss) is notconsidered to be an alternative to net income (loss) reported in accordancewith GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financialmeasure of net income (loss) attributable to common stock to the non-GAAPfinancial measure of adjusted net income (loss) and presents the GAAP financialmeasure of net income (loss) attributable to common stock per diluted share andthe non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share.

FREE CASH FLOW

Management uses free cash flow, which is defined by us as net cash provided by operating activities less capital investments, as a measure of liquidity. The following table presents a reconciliation of our net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow. We have excluded one-time costs for bankruptcy related fees during 2020 as a supplemental measure of our free cash flow.

ADJUSTED EBITDAX

We define Adjusted EBITDAX as earnings before interest expense; income taxes; depreciation, depletion and amortization; exploration expense; other unusual, infrequent and out-of-period items; and other non-cash items. We believe this measure provides useful information in assessing our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and is widely used by the industry, the investment community and our lenders. Although this is a non-GAAP measure, the amounts included in the calculation were computed in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from this non-GAAP measure are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance, such as our cost of capital and tax structure, as well as depreciation, depletion and amortization of our assets. This measure should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A version of Adjusted EBITDAX is a material component of certain of our financial covenants under our Revolving Credit Facility and is provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, income and liquidity measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

DISCRETIONARY CASH FLOW

We define discretionary cash flow as the cash available after distributions to noncontrolling interest holders and cash interest, excluding the effect of working capital changes but before our internal capital investment.
