STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | |||||||||||||||||
Our consolidated results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 include the effects of long-term stock-based compensation plans under which awards are granted annually to executives, non-executive employees and non-employee directors that are either settled with shares of our common stock or cash. Our equity-settled awards granted to executives include stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units that either cliff vest at the end of a three-year period or vest ratably over a three-year period, some of which are partially settled in cash. Our equity-settled awards granted to non-employee directors are restricted stock units that either vest at the grant date or cliff vest after one year. Our cash-settled awards granted to non-executive employees vest ratably over a three-year period. Changes in our stock price introduce volatility in our results of operations because we pay cash-settled awards based on our stock price on the vesting date and accounting rules require that we adjust our obligation for unvested awards to the amount that would be paid using our stock price at the end of each reporting period. Cash-settled awards, including executive awards partially settled in cash, account for approximately 50% of our total outstanding awards. Equity-settled awards are not similarly adjusted for changes in our stock price. Stock-based compensation is included in both general and administrative expenses and production costs as shown in the table below: | |||||||||||||||||

Natural gas volumes have been converted to Boe based on the equivalence of energy content of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. Barrels of oil equivalence does not necessarily result in price equivalence. | |||||||||||||

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATIONS | |||||||||
Our results of operations, which are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), can include the effects of unusual, out-of-period and infrequent transactions and events affecting earnings that vary widely and unpredictably (in particular certain non-cash items such as derivative gains and losses) in nature, timing, amount and frequency. Therefore, management uses certain non-GAAP measures to assess our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. These measures are widely used by the industry, the investment community and our lenders. Although these are non-GAAP measures, the amounts included in the calculations were computed in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from these non-GAAP measures are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance, such as our cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic cost of depreciable and depletable assets. These measures should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Below are additional disclosures regarding each of the non-GAAP measures reported in this press release, including reconciliations to their most directly 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 EBITDAX | |||||||||||||||||
We define adjusted EBITDAX as earnings before interest expense; income taxes; depreciation, depletion and amortization; exploration expense; other unusual, out-of-period and infrequent items; and other non-cash items. Management uses adjusted EBITDAX as a measure of operating cash flow without working capital adjustments. A version of adjusted EBITDAX is a material component of certain of our financial covenants under our 2014 Revolving Credit Facility and is provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, performance and liquidity measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measures of net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities to the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted EBITDAX. | |||||||||||||||||

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.

The BSP JV entered into crude oil derivatives for insignificant volumes through 2021 that are included in our consolidated results but not in the above table. The BSP JV also entered into natural gas swaps for insignificant volumes for periods through May 2021. The hedges entered into by the BSP JV could affect the timing of the redemption of BSP's noncontrolling interest. | ||||||||
In May 2018 we entered into derivative contracts that limit our interest rate exposure with respect to $1.3 billion of our variable-rate indebtedness. The interest rate contracts reset monthly and require the counterparties to pay any excess interest owed on such amount in the event the one-month LIBOR exceeds 2.75% for any monthly period prior to May 2021. | ||||||||
(a) Counterparties have the option to increase swap volumes by up to 5,000 barrels per day at a weighted-average Brent price of $70.05 for the second quarter of 2020. | ||||||||

2019 THIRD QUARTER GUIDANCE | |||
Anticipated Realizations Against the Prevailing Index Prices for Q3 2019 (a) | |||
Oil | 95% to 100% of Brent | ||
NGLs | 36% to 41% of Brent | ||
Natural Gas | 105% to 115% of NYMEX | ||
2019 Third Quarter Production, Capital and Income Statement Guidance | |||
Production (assumed Q3 average Brent price of $65/Bbl) | 127 to 132 MBOE per day | ||
Production (assumed Q3 average Brent price of $70/Bbl) | 126 to 131 MBOE per day | ||
Capital (b) | $165 million to $195 million | ||
Production costs (assumed Q3 average Brent price of $65/Bbl) | $18.25 to $19.75 per BOE | ||
Production costs (assumed Q3 average Brent price of $70/Bbl) | $18.45 to $19.95 per BOE | ||
Adjusted general and administrative expenses (c) & (d) | $6.30 to $6.70 per BOE | ||
Depreciation, depletion and amortization (c) | $9.85 to $10.15 per BOE | ||
Taxes other than on income | $41 million to $45 million | ||
Exploration expense | $3 million to $8 million | ||
Interest expense (e) | $92 million to $97 million | ||
Cash interest (e) | $70 million to $75 million | ||
Effective tax rate | 0% | ||
Cash tax rate | 0% | ||
Pre-tax 2019 Third Quarter Price Sensitivities (f) | |||
$1 change in Brent index - Oil (g) | $6.6 million | ||
$1 change in Brent index - NGLs | $0.5 million | ||
$0.50 change in NYMEX - Gas | $7.0 million | ||
(a) Realizations exclude hedge effects. | |||
(b) Capital guidance includes CRC, BSP, MIRA and Colony capital. | |||
(c) Production based on assumed Q3 average Brent price of $65/Bbl. This reflects the additional reduction of close to 1,000 barrels of oil per day compared to the second quarter of 2019 due to the divestiture of 50% interest in our Lost Hills operation that closed on May 1, 2019. | |||
(d) A portion of our long-term incentive compensation programs are stock based but payable in cash. Accounting rules require that we adjust our obligation for all vested but unpaid cash-settled awards under these programs to the amount that would be paid using our stock price as of the end of each reporting period. Therefore, in addition to the normal pro-rata vesting expense associated with these programs, our quarterly expense could include a cumulative adjustment depending on movement in our stock price. Our stock price used to set Q3 2019 guidance was $19.68 per share. | |||
(e) Interest expense includes cash interest, original issue discount and amortization of deferred financing costs as well as the deferred gain that resulted from the December 2015 debt exchange. Cash interest for the quarter is lower than interest expense due to the timing of interest payments. | |||
(f) Due to our tax position there is no difference between the impact on our income and cash flows. | |||
(g) Amount reflects the sensitivity with respect to unhedged barrels which have no limitation to upside price movements. We have downside price protection on approximately 49% of our Q3 2019 oil production, at a weighted average Brent floor price of approximately $73 per barrel below which we receive Brent plus $15 per barrel. | |||
