    Implementing cost optimization and operational efficiency initiatives to deliver over $100 million in annualized free cash flow

    Civitas Resources, Inc. (NYSE:CIVI) (the "Company" or "Civitas") today reported its first quarter 2025 financial and operating results. A webcast and conference call to review the Company's results is planned for 6:30 a.m. MT (8:30 a.m. ET) on Thursday, May 8, 2025. Participation details are available in this release, and supplemental materials can be accessed on the Company's website, www.civitasresources.com.

    Management Quote

    CEO Chris Doyle commented, "Our high-quality, low-breakeven assets continue to position us well in the current environment, following our disciplined start to the year with a plan that prioritizes free cash flow generation and strengthens the balance sheet. We continue to take important steps to further enhance free cash flow and improve our performance, including launching a $100 million cost optimization and efficiency improvement plan across all aspects of the business. We are reiterating our full year 2025 outlook; however, we are positioned to adjust activity levels lower should market conditions deteriorate further."

    Strengthening Civitas in Current Market Volatility

    The Company has taken the following actions in response to current market volatility:

    • Removed over $150 million of capital when announcing the Company's original 2025 plan
      • Elected to level-load and sustain activity rather than adding capex to maintain 2024 production level
    • Launched a $100-plus million cost optimization and efficiency initiative
      • Savings expected to come through capital efficiencies, production optimization, commercial/midstream opportunities, and streamlined corporate costs
      • Approximately $40 million to benefit 2025 free cash flow, with the entire amount additive to 2026
    • Added commodity downside protection through additional hedging
      • Nearly 50% of remaining 2025 oil production hedged with an average floor price of $68 per barrel WTI
      • Approximately 40% of remaining 2025 natural gas production hedged with an average floor price of $3.74 per MMBtu; added 93,000 MMBtu/d of basis swaps for the remainder of the year
      • Hedge positions at the end of April 2025 (including April settlements) valued at approximately $290 million
    • Increased elected commitment on the Company's revolving credit facility to $2.5 billion
      • Ended the first quarter with $1.5 billion in financial liquidity
    • Prioritized net debt reduction through free cash flow generation and asset divestments
      • Targeting $4.5 billion net debt by year-end 2025 (a reduction of approximately $800 million from pro-forma year-end 2024(1))
      • Pursuing $300 million in asset divestments by year-end 2025

    Doyle added, "These actions will strengthen our Company as we focus on delivering sustainable returns for our shareholders. We are always looking for ways to optimize our diverse asset portfolio, and we were highly encouraged by the interest we saw in our divestment process earlier this year. Market volatility precluded a transaction at a value representative of the quality of the assets, yet we remain confident in achieving our divestment target for the year."

    First Quarter 2025 Operational Highlights

    • Total sales volumes and oil production were within the Company's guidance ranges. Approximately 53% of volumes for the first quarter were contributed by the Company's Permian Basin assets, with the remainder from the DJ Basin.
    • As compared to the fourth quarter, first quarter volumes primarily reflect anticipated production declines in the DJ Basin following a low TIL count at the end of 2024 and in early 2025, along with a modest impact to volumes in the first quarter as a result of severe winter weather and wind storms in both basins.
      • Approximately 80% of the quarter-on-quarter change in oil volumes occurred in the DJ Basin.
    • Capital expenditures were slightly below plan primarily due to the timing of activities in the DJ Basin, which shifted some capital into the second quarter.
    • Permian Basin activity for the quarter included 22, 33, and 47 net operated wells drilled, completed, and turned to sales, respectively. The Company's average lateral length completed in the quarter was 2.3 miles.
      • 42% of the Permian Basin wells drilled in the quarter occurred in the Delaware Basin, with the remainder of wells drilled and all of the wells completed and turned to sales in the Midland Basin. Drilling cycle times in the Delaware Basin were 10% faster than plan in the first quarter.
      • Simulfrac operations in the Midland Basin have averaged 160 thousand barrels of fluid pumped per day per crew, approximately five percent higher than the fourth quarter of last year.
    • DJ Basin activity for the quarter included 25, 30, and 3 net operated wells drilled, completed, and turned to sales, respectively. The Company's average lateral length completed in the quarter was 2.1 miles.
      • During the quarter, the Company increased its utilization of local sand in its completions from approximately 50% to more than 90%.

    First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

    • Crude oil, natural gas and NGL revenues totaled $1.2 billion.
      • Crude oil realizations benefited from the Company's higher-quality crude production, while natural gas realizations reflected strong seasonal Colorado Interstate Gas pricing. Natural gas liquid realizations strengthened to 34% of the West Texas Intermediate oil price for the period.
    • Cash operating expenses, including lease operating expense ("LOE"), midstream operating expense, gathering, transportation, and processing, and cash G&A(3), totaled $11.39 per barrel of oil equivalent ("BOE"). Higher than anticipated LOE was impacted by a third-party's inability to fulfill water takeaway obligations in the Permian Basin, along with additional repair and maintenance costs following adverse weather and wind storms in both basins.
      • Included in cash G&A(3) was $4 million associated with a previously-announced workforce reduction.
      • These short-term items impacted cash operating cost per BOE by approximately $0.43 for the quarter.
    • Transaction fees totaled $6 million, primarily related to the Midland Basin bolt-on announced in the first quarter. In addition, other expenses include $9 million related to the mark-to-market on crude oil pipeline linefill agreements.
    • Financial liquidity at the end of the first quarter 2025 totaled $1.5 billion, representing cash on hand and borrowings available under the Company's revolving credit facility. Long-term debt at the end of the first quarter totaled $5.1 billion.

    First Quarter 2025 Strategic Highlights

    • The Company returned $121 million to shareholders, including $50 million in dividends and $71 million in share repurchases (repurchased 1.5 million shares).
    • In 2025, Civitas has added approximately 17 MBbl/d of oil hedges and 103,000 MMBtu/d of natural gas hedges on average for the remainder of 2025.
    • Also in February, Civitas expanded the size of its Board of Directors from nine to ten directors and appointed Lloyd W. "Billy" Helms, Jr., the former President of EOG Resources, Inc. to the Board.

    Dividend to be Paid in June

    The Company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share, payable on June 26, 2025, to shareholders of record as of June 12, 2025.

    Second Quarter Outlook

    The Company has reiterated its full year guidance for 2025. For the second quarter, Civitas anticipates approximately five percent oil volume growth at the midpoint of the Company's guidance range, primarily resulting from new wells coming online in the Permian Basin. Second quarter capital expenditures are expected to be modestly higher than the first quarter of the year, reflecting a slight shift of DJ Basin capital from the first quarter to the second. The Company is currently operating five drilling rigs and two frac crews in the Permian Basin and two rigs and two frac crews in the DJ Basin.

    Schedule 4: Average Sales Volumes and Prices

     

    The following table presents crude oil, natural gas, and NGL sales volumes by operating region as well as consolidated average sales prices before and after derivatives.

     

    Average sales price, after derivatives is a non-GAAP financial measure that incorporates the net effect of derivative cash receipts from or payments on commodity derivatives that are presented in our accompanying statements of cash flows, netted into the average sales price, before derivatives, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We believe that the presentation of average sales price, after derivatives is a useful means to reflect the actual cash performance of our commodity derivatives for the respective periods and is useful to management and our stockholders in determining the effectiveness of our price risk management program. The following table provides a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of average sales price, before derivatives to the non-GAAP financial measure of average sales prices, after derivatives for the periods presented:

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, the derivative cash settlement loss for crude oil was nominal, and the derivative cash settlement gain for natural gas was $12 million.

    Schedule 5: Adjusted Net Income

    ($ in millions, except per share amounts, unaudited)

     

    Adjusted Net Income is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management to present a more comparable, recurring profitability between periods. We believe that Adjusted Net Income provides external users of our consolidated financial statements with additional information to assist in their analysis of the Company. Adjusted Net Income represents net income after adjusting for (1) the impact of certain non-cash items and/or non-recurring charges and correspondingly (2) the related tax effect in each period. Adjusted Net Income is not a measure of net income as determined by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, net cash provided by operating activities, or other profitability or liquidity measures prepared under GAAP.

     

    The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Net Income.

The three months ended December 31, 2024 includes non-recurring costs of $1 million for unused commitment fees that are included in other operating expense and $1 million for loss on property transactions, net that are included in other, net, all of which are in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the period.

    Schedule 6: Adjusted EBITDAX

    ($ in millions, unaudited)

     

    Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, exploration expense, and other non-cash and/or non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDAX excludes certain items that we believe affect the comparability of operating results and can exclude items that are generally non-recurring in nature. We present Adjusted EBITDAX because we believe it provides useful additional information to investors and analysts, as a performance measure, for analysis of our ability to internally generate funds for exploration, development, acquisitions, and to service debt. We are also subject to financial covenants under our revolving credit facility based on Adjusted EBITDAX ratios. In addition, Adjusted EBITDAX is widely used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison, and investment recommendations of companies in the crude oil and natural gas exploration and production industry. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, net cash provided by operating activities, or other profitability or liquidity measures prepared under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDAX excludes some, but not all items that affect net income and may vary among companies, the Adjusted EBITDAX amounts presented may not be comparable to similar metrics of other companies.

     

    The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDAX:

    (2) Included as a portion of general and administrative expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The three months ended March 31, 2025 excludes $1 million of non-recurring stock compensation expense incurred in connection with our announced reduction in force that was added back within the total adjustments to net income before taxes (from schedule 5).

    Schedule 7: Adjusted Free Cash Flow

    ($ in millions, unaudited)

     

    Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities and less exploration and development of crude oil and natural gas properties, changes in working capital related to capital expenditures, and purchases of carbon credits. We believe that Adjusted Free Cash Flow provides additional information that may be useful to investors and analysts in evaluating our ability to generate cash from our existing crude oil and natural gas assets to fund future exploration and development activities and to return cash to stockholders. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a supplemental measure of liquidity and should not be viewed as a substitute for cash flows from operations because it excludes certain required cash expenditures.

     

    The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net cash provided by operating activities to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Free Cash Flow:
