    HOUSTON, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Marathon Oil Corporation (NYSE:MRO) reported third quarter 2024 net income of $287 million or $0.51 per diluted share, which includes the impact of certain items not typically represented in analysts' earnings estimates and that would otherwise affect comparability of results. Adjusted net income was $360 million or $0.64 per diluted share. Net operating cash flow was $1,209 million or $1,042 million before changes in working capital (adjusted CFO).

    HIGHLIGHTS

    • Third quarter free cash flow of $659 million and adjusted FCF of $589 million before changes in working capital and including Equatorial Guinea (E.G.) distributions and other financing
    • Sequential increase in third quarter production to 207,000 net bopd and 421,000 net boed; third quarter oil production outperformed guidance of approximately 200,000 net bopd on strong new well productivity and continued drilling and completion efficiency gains
    • Raised full-year 2024 production guidance to 192,000 net bopd and 393,000 net boed from prior guidance midpoints of 190,000 net bopd and 390,000 net boed, respectively; no change to original capital spending guidance range
    • Total return of capital to shareholders during third quarter of $61 million through the base dividend
    • Third quarter sequential gross debt reduction of $545 million with $57 million increase to cash and cash equivalents

    3Q24 Financial Overview

    CASH FLOW: Net cash provided by operations was $1,209 million during third quarter or $1,042 million before changes in working capital. Third quarter capital expenditures totaled $458 million.

    RETURN OF CAPITAL: Third quarter return of capital consisted of the $61 million base dividend. Marathon Oil discontinued its share repurchase program upon announcement of its pending merger with ConocoPhillips, and under the Merger Agreement, Marathon Oil may not increase the quarterly dividend in excess of the current $0.11 per share.

    BALANCE SHEET: Marathon Oil reported a sequential gross debt reduction of $545 million during third quarter. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $57 million from the second quarter to a quarter-end total of $134 million.

    ADJUSTMENTS TO NET INCOME: The adjustments to net income for third quarter totaled $73 million. This includes a $75 million deferred tax valuation allowance recorded for foreign tax credits which expire in 2025 that are likely to remain unused.

    3Q24 Operational Overview

    UNITED STATES (U.S.): U.S. production averaged 379,000 net boed during third quarter 2024. Third quarter oil production averaged 198,000 net bopd, a significant increase from the second quarter average of 183,000 net bopd, due to strong new well performance, ongoing drilling and completion efficiency gains, and the timing of the Company's capital program. Excluding joint venture wells, the Company brought a total of 72 gross Company-operated wells to sales during third quarter. Third quarter U.S. unit production cost averaged $5.97 per boe.

    INTERNATIONAL: E.G. production averaged 42,000 net boed during third quarter, while total sales volumes averaged 37,000 net boed. The difference between production and sales was the result of a 31,000 net mcfd (5,000 net boed) Alba LNG underlift. Marathon Oil's Alba LNG sales achieved a realized price of $10.76 per mcf during third quarter, as the Company continued realizing the uplift in value from the shift to global LNG pricing. Third quarter E.G. unit production cost averaged $4.16 per boe.

    Total International segment income was $95 million during third quarter, including $39 million of income from equity method investees. The Company received total cash distributions of $29 million from equity method companies during third quarter, including dividends of $21 million and return of capital of $8 million.

    2024 Guidance Overview

    Due to strong new well productivity and continued drilling and completion efficiency gains, Marathon Oil raised full-year 2024 total oil production guidance to 192,000 net bopd and oil equivalent guidance to 393,000 net boed, while leaving the original full-year 2024 capital spending guidance range unchanged. Updated production guidance compares to prior oil and oil equivalent guidance midpoints of 190,000 net bopd and 390,000 net boed, respectively. The Company expects fourth quarter oil production to moderate to approximately 190,000 net bopd, consistent with the phasing of its capital program and the associated sequential reduction in wells to sales, similar to the prior two years. This reduction in capital spending is expected to contribute to a sequential increase in free cash flow generation during fourth quarter on a price-normalized basis.

    Earnings Call

    Due to the pending merger with ConocoPhillips, Marathon Oil will not host a conference call or webcast to discuss its third quarter 2024 results.

    Non-GAAP Measures 

    In analyzing and planning for its business, Marathon Oil supplements its use of GAAP financial measures with non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per share, net cash provided by operating activities before changes in working capital (adjusted CFO), free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow and reinvestment rate.

    Our presentation of adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for gains or losses on dispositions, impairments of proved and certain unproved properties, changes in our valuation allowance, unrealized derivative gains or losses on commodity and interest rate derivative instruments, effects of pension settlements and curtailments and other items that could be considered "non-operating" or "non-core" in nature. Management believes this is useful to investors as another tool to meaningfully represent our operating performance and to compare Marathon to certain competitors. Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

    Our presentation of adjusted CFO is defined as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for changes in working capital and is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes this is useful to investors as an indicator of Marathon's ability to generate cash quarterly or year-to-date by eliminating differences caused by the timing of certain working capital items. Adjusted CFO should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

    Our presentation of free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, net of capital expenditures and change in capital accrual. Management believes this is useful to investors as a measure of Marathon's ability to fund its capital expenditure programs, service debt, and fund other distributions to stockholders. Free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

    Our presentation of adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted free cash flow before dividend ("adjusted free cash flow") is defined as adjusted CFO, net of capital expenditures and EG return of capital and other. Management believes this is useful to investors as a measure of Marathon's ability to fund its capital expenditure programs, service debt, and fund other distributions to stockholders. Adjusted free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

    Our presentation of reinvestment rate is a non-GAAP measure. The reinvestment rate in the context of adjusted free cash flow is defined as capital expenditures divided by adjusted CFO. The reinvestment rate in the context of free cash flow is defined as capital expenditures divided by net cash provided by operating activities. Management believes the reinvestment rate is useful to investors to demonstrate the Company's commitment to generating cash for use towards investor-friendly purposes (which includes balance sheet enhancement, base dividend and other return of capital).

    These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the business that, when viewed with GAAP results may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the business and are a useful tool to help management and investors make informed decisions about Marathon Oil's financial and operating performance. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in our investor package on our website at https://ir.marathonoil.com/ and in the tables below. Marathon Oil strongly encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
