Note 1 - Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of business
Callon Petroleum Company is an independent oil and natural gas company established in 1950. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware in 1994 and succeeded to the business of a publicly traded limited partnership, a joint venture with a consortium of European investors and an independent energy company partially owned by a member of current management. As used herein, the “Company,” “Callon,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Callon Petroleum Company and its predecessors and subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.
Callon is focused on the acquisition, development, exploration and exploitation of unconventional oil and natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin in West Texas. In late 2013, with the sale of its remaining offshore assets in the Gulf of Mexico, the Company completed the onshore strategic repositioning it initiated in 2009.
Basis of presentation
Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts included within the footnotes to the financial statements are presented in thousands, except for per share and per unit data.
The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with (1) GAAP, (2) the SEC’s instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and (3) Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, and include the accounts of the Company, and its subsidiary, Callon Petroleum Operating Company (“CPOC”). CPOC also has subsidiaries, namely Callon Offshore Production, Inc. and Mississippi Marketing, Inc.
These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2014.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments and all intercompany account and transaction eliminations, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods indicated. When necessary to ensure consistent presentation, certain prior year amounts may be reclassified to conform to presentation in the current period. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Recently issued accounting policies
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard requires an entity to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU No. 2014-09 will replace most of the existing revenue recognition requirements in GAAP when it becomes effective. The guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and impact this standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 2 – Oil and Natural Gas Properties
Acquisitions
In the first quarter of 2014, the Company acquired 1,527 net acres in Upton and Reagan Counties, Texas, which are located in the southern portion of the Midland Basin near our existing core development fields, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $8,200. The properties bear a working interest of 100% and an average net revenue interest of 78%.
Acreage expiration
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company transferred $12,940 from unevaluated properties to the full cost pool related to 8,028 net acres in the Northern Midland Basin that expired or are scheduled to expire in the near future and are no longer included in the Company’s exploration and development plans. As of June 30, 2014, net of these expirations, Callon had a remaining net acreage position in the Northern Midland Basin of 9,480 acres which the Company is still evaluating for potential future exploration activities.

Senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”)
On March 11, 2014, the Company entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to the Credit Facility with a maturity date of March 11, 2019. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is Administrative Agent, and participating lenders include Regions Bank, Citibank, N.A., Capital One, N.A., KeyBank, N.A., Whitney Bank, IberiaBank, N.A., OneWest Bank, N.A., SunTrust Bank and Royal Bank of Canada. The total notional amount available under the Credit Facility is $500,000. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility may not exceed the borrowing base, which is generally reviewed on a semi-annual basis. In June 2014, the Credit Facility’s borrowing base was increased to $155,000 following a redetermination based upon a May 1, 2014 internally estimated reserve report. Subsequent redeterminations are scheduled to occur at six month intervals beginning on September 1, 2014. The Credit Facility is secured by first preferred mortgages covering the Company’s major producing properties.
As of June 30, 2014, the balance outstanding on the Credit Facility was $84,000 with a weighted-average interest rate of 2.43%, calculated as the LIBOR plus a tiered rate ranging from 1.75% to 2.75%, which is determined based on utilization of the facility. In addition, the Credit Facility carries a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum, payable quarterly, on the unused portion of the borrowing base.
Second lien term loan facility (the “Second Lien Facility”)
In connection with the Credit Facility, the Company also entered into the Second Lien Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $125,000, including initial commitments of $100,000 and additional availability of $25,000 subject to the consent of two-thirds of the lenders and compliance with financial covenants after giving effect to such increase. The Second Lien Facility matures on September 11, 2019, and is not subject to mandatory prepayments unless new debt or preferred stock is issued. The Second Lien Facility may be prepaid at the Company’s option, subject to a prepayment premium. The prepayment amount is (i) 102% if the prepayment event occurs prior to March 11, 2015, and (ii) 101% if the prepayment event occurs on or after March 15, 2015 but before March 15, 2016, and (iii) 100% for prepayments made on or after March 15, 2016. The Second Lien Facility is secured by junior liens on properties mortgaged under the Credit Facility, subject to an intercreditor agreement.
On April 10, 2014, the Company drew an initial amount of $62,500 with an original issue discount of 1.0%. Subsequent draws, allowable during the first year, are subject to the same 1.0% original issue discount on the drawn amount, applied on the date such draw is funded. In addition, the Second Lien Facility carries a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum, payable quarterly, on the unused portion of the initial commitment amount until March 11, 2015. As of June 30, 2014, the balance outstanding on the Second Lien Facility was $82,500 with an interest rate of 8.75%, calculated at a rate of LIBOR (subject to a floor rate of 1.0%) plus 7.75% per annum.
13% senior notes due 2016 (“Senior Notes”) and deferred credit
On April 11, 2014, the Company completed a full redemption of the remaining $48,481 principal amount of outstanding Senior Notes using proceeds from the Second Lien Facility. The redemption resulted in a net $3,205 gain on the early extinguishment of debt (including $4,780 of accelerated deferred credit amortization). The gain represents the difference between the $50,057 paid for the redemption of the Senior Notes ($1,576 of redemption costs, primarily the call premium) and the carrying value of the remaining

Senior Notes of $53,261 (inclusive of $4,780 of deferred credit). The Company also paid $193 in accrued interest through the redemption date. Upon the redemption, the indenture governing the Senior Notes was discharged in accordance with its terms.
Restrictive covenants
The Company’s Credit Facility and Second Lien Facility contain various covenants including restrictions on additional indebtedness, payment of cash dividends and maintenance of certain financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2014
Note 5 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices received for its production. Consequently, the Company believes it is prudent to manage the variability in cash flows on a portion of its oil and natural gas production. The Company utilizes a mix of collars, swaps, puts, calls and similar derivative financial instruments to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changes in commodity prices. The Company does not use these instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
Counterparty risk and offsetting
The use of derivative instruments exposes the Company to the risk that a counterparty will be unable to meet its commitments. While the Company monitors counterparty creditworthiness on an ongoing basis, it cannot predict sudden changes in counterparties’ creditworthiness. In addition, even if such changes are not sudden, the Company may be limited in its ability to mitigate an increase in counterparty credit risk. Should one of these counterparties not perform, the Company may not realize the benefit of some of its derivative instruments under lower commodity prices while continuing to be obligated under higher commodity price contracts subject to any right of offset under the agreements. Counterparty credit risk is considered when determining a derivative instruments’ fair value; see Note 6 for additional information regarding fair value.
The Company executes commodity derivative contracts under master agreements that have netting provisions that provide for offsetting payables against receivables. In general, if a party to a derivative transaction incurs an event of default, as defined in the applicable agreement, the other party will have the right to demand the posting of collateral, demand a cash payment transfer or terminate the arrangement.
Financial statement presentation and settlements
Settlements of the Company’s derivative instruments are based on the difference between the contract price or prices specified in the derivative instrument and a benchmark price, such as the NYMEX price. To determine the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments, depending on the type of instrument, the Company utilizes present value methods or standard option valuation models that include assumptions about commodity prices based on those observed in underlying markets. See Note 6 for additional information regarding fair value.
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
The Company elected not to designate its derivative contracts as accounting hedges under Accounting Standards Codification 815. Consequently, the Company records its derivative contracts at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet and records changes in fair value as a gain or loss on derivative contracts in the consolidated statement of operations. Cash settlements are also recorded as gain or loss on derivative contracts in the consolidated statement of operations.

Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements
The fair value hierarchy outlined in the relevant accounting guidance gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs, which consist of unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 inputs consist of quoted prices for similar instruments. Level 3 valuations are derived from inputs that are significant and unobservable, and these valuations have the lowest priority.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted investments. The carrying amounts for these instruments approximate fair value due to the short-term nature or maturity of the instruments.
Debt. The Company’s debt is recorded at the carrying amount in the consolidated balance sheet. The carrying amount of floating-rate debt approximated fair value because the interest rates were variable and reflective of market rates.

Fair value is calculated only in relation to the $48,481 principal outstanding of the Senior Notes at December 31, 2013 and excludes the remaining $5,267 deferred credit. The fair value of the Senior Notes, which is valued using Level 2 inputs, is based upon estimates provided by an independent investment banking firm. See Note 4 for additional information. |
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheet. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value:
Commodity derivative instruments. The fair value of commodity derivative instruments is derived using an income approach valuation model that utilizes market-corroborated inputs that are observable over the term of the derivative contract, and the values are corroborated by quotes obtained from counterparties to the agreements. The Company’s fair value calculations also incorporate an estimate of the counterparties’ default risk for derivative assets and an estimate of the Company’s default risk for derivative liabilities. The Company believes that the majority of the inputs used to calculate the commodity derivative instruments fall within Level 2 of the fair-value hierarchy based on the wide availability of quoted market prices for similar commodity derivative contracts. See Note 5 for additional information regarding the Company’s derivative instruments.

Certain of the Company’s operating agreements require that assets be restricted for abandonment obligations. Amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as restricted investments were $3,806 at June 30, 2014. These investments include primarily U.S. Government securities, and are held in abandonment trusts dedicated to pay future abandonment costs for several of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties.
Holders of the Company’s Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 10.0% per annum of the $50.00 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to $5.00 per annum per share). Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors. For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Board declared a dividend of $1.25 per share, or a total of $1,973, on the Company’s Preferred Stock. Dividends for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $3,947.
As defined in a provision of the Preferred Stock prospectus, the common shares reserved for issuance vary based on the number of authorized common shares. In January 2014, following a majority shareholder vote, the number of authorized shares of common stock was increased from 60,000,000 to 110,000,000 with a corresponding increase in the number of common shares reserved for a potential conversion to a maximum of 42,200,000 shares. Based on the Company’s closing common stock price of $11.65 per share on June 30, 2014, the Company has reserved 6,776,601 shares of its total authorized shares to satisfy a potential conversion that would be subject to the satisfaction of several conditions, including a change of control as defined in description of Preferred Stock.
Operating leases
In April 2012, the Company contracted a drilling rig (the “Cactus 1 Rig”) for a term of two years, which it subsequently renewed in March 2014 for an additional two-year term ending in April 2016. In April 2014, the Company contracted an additional horizontal drilling rig (the “Cactus 2 Rig”) for a term of two years ending in April 2016. The Cactus 2 Rig replaced a previously contracted horizontal drilling rig, which was cancelled in March 2014. The Cactus 1 and Cactus 2 Rig lease agreements include early termination provisions that would reduce the minimum rentals under the agreement, and also include early termination payments that would be reduced assuming the lessor is able to re-charter the rig and staffing personnel to another lessee. Lease payments in 2014, 2015 and 2016 are expected to approximate $18,111 (with $9,200 remaining at June 30, 2014), $18,250 and $4,795, respectively.

Other property and equipment
As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company made a decision to abandon certain specialized deep water property and equipment received as part of a prior settlement agreement related to various disputes with a previous joint interest partner as a result of the unsuccessful marketing of such assets. Accordingly, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $1,707 related to such property and equipment in the year ended December 31, 2013. Subsequent to the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the property and equipment to a third party. While the third party had previously performed some initial inspection and evaluation of the equipment, based on the amount of time the equipment had been unsuccessfully marketed and the feedback from potential buyers, management concluded the likelihood of completing a sale of the equipment was low, resulting in the decision to abandon the equipment and recognize an impairment charge in 2013. As a result of the subsequent sale of the property and equipment, the Company recognized a gain of $1,080 in the first quarter 2014.
Subsequent Events
In August 2014, the Company signed a one-year contract for a vertical drilling rig to be used as part of our horizontal drilling program, drilling the vertical component of horizontal wells. Lease payments in 2014 and 2015 are expected to approximate $1,656 and $4,914, respectively, subject to customary termination provisions.

The following management’s discussion and analysis describes the principal factors affecting the Company’s results of operations, liquidity, capital resources and contractual cash obligations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which include additional information about our business practices, significant accounting policies, risk factors, and the transactions that underlie our financial results. Our website address is www.callon.com. All of our filings with the SEC are available free of charge through our website as soon as reasonably practicable after we file them with, or furnish them to, the SEC. Information on our website does not form part of this report on Form 10-Q.
We are an independent oil and natural gas company established in 1950. We are focused on the acquisition, development, exploration and exploitation of unconventional, onshore, oil and natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin in West Texas, and more specifically, the Midland Basin. Our operations to date have been predominantly focused on horizontal drilling of several prospective intervals, including multiple levels of the Wolfcamp formation. We have assembled a multi-year inventory of potential horizontal well locations and intend to add to this inventory through delineation drilling of emerging zones on our existing acreage and acquisition of additional locations through acreage purchases, joint ventures and asset swaps. Our production was approximately 84% oil and 16% natural gas for the six months ended June 30, 2014. On June 30, 2014, our net acreage position in the Permian Basin was approximately 25,208 net
