Completion: The process of treating a drilled well followed by the installation of permanent equipment for the production of oil or natural gas or, in the case of a dry hole, the reporting of abandonment to the appropriate agency.
Cushing: An oil delivery point that serves as the benchmark oil price for West Texas Intermediate.
FASB: Financial Accounting Standards Board.
GAAP: Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States.

Horizontal drilling: A drilling technique used in certain formations where a well is drilled vertically to a certain depth and then drilled at a right angle within a specified interval.
LIBOR:  London Interbank Offered Rate.
LOE:  lease operating expense.
MBbls:  thousand barrels of oil.
MBOE:  thousand BOE.
Mcf:  thousand cubic feet of natural gas.

RSU: restricted stock units.
SEC:  United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
Waha: A natural gas delivery point in West Texas that serves as the benchmark for gas delivered and sold into Pecos County.
Working interest: An operating interest that gives the owner the right to drill, produce and conduct operating activities on the property and receive a share of production and requires the owner to pay a share of the costs of drilling and production operations.
WTI: West Texas Intermediate grade crude oil, used as a pricing benchmark for sales contracts and NYMEX oil futures contracts.

With respect to information relating to our working interest in wells or acreage, “net” oil and gas wells or acreage is determined by multiplying gross wells or acreage by our working interest therein. Unless otherwise specified, all references to wells and acres are gross.

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. 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 onshore, oil and natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin. The Company’s operations to date have been predominantly focused on the horizontal development of several prospective intervals, including multiple levels of the Wolfcamp formation and the Lower Spraberry shales. Callon has assembled a multi-year inventory of potential horizontal well locations and intends to add to this inventory through delineation drilling of emerging zones on its existing acreage and acquisition of additional locations through working interest acquisitions, leasing programs, acreage purchases, joint ventures and asset swaps. 

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 Callon Petroleum 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, 2017. The balance sheet at December 31, 2017 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, 2018.

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. Certain prior year amounts may have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”)

Recently Adopted ASUs - Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). 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 2014-09 replaced most of the existing revenue recognition requirements in GAAP.

Throughout 2015 and 2016, the FASB issued several updates to the revenue recognition guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (“ASC 606”). In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, deferring the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). Under this update, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods

or services. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. This update clarifies two principles of ASC 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. This update applies only to the following areas from ASC 606: assessing the collectability criterion and accounting for contracts that do not meet the criteria for step 1, presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers, non-cash consideration, contract modification at transition, completed contracts at transition and technical correction.

Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, gathering and treating fees associated with our gas processing agreements have historically been presented within lease operating expenses in the statement of operations. The current period presentation reports these fees as a reduction to natural gas revenues. See Note 2 for additional information on revenue recognition.

The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method at the date of adoption and the impact of adoption on the current period statement of operations is as follows:

Recently adopted ASUs - Other

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). The objective of the standard is to reduce the existing diversity in practice of several cash flow issues, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, contingent consideration payment made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investees, beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The guidance in ASU 2016-15 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(All dollar amounts in thousands, except per share and per unit data)

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations-Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). The guidance in ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The guidance provides a screen to determine when a set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired or disposed of is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. The guidance in ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. The Company adopted this update effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued ASUs - Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASU 2016-02”). In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 (“ASU 2018-01”). In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”). Together these related amendments to GAAP represent ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC Topic 842”).

ASC Topic 842 requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities (with terms in excess of 12 months) on the balance sheet, disclose key quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements, and permits an entity not to evaluate existing or expired land easements that were not previously assessed under Topic 840. The Company has engaged a third party consultant to assist with its current process of assessing existing contracts, as well as future potential contracts, and to determine the impact of applying Topic 842 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The contract evaluation process includes review of drilling rig contracts, field vehicles and equipment, office facility leases, compressors, general corporate leased equipment, and other existing arrangements that may contain a lease component. The Company will adopt this guidance as of January 1, 2019, the transition date, using a modified retrospective method with use of the transition option, in which a cumulative-effect adjustment will be recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.  The Company expects the adoption of ASC Topic 842 to primarily impact the asset and liability balances on the balance sheet and will result in changes to the timing and presentation of certain operating expenses on its consolidated statement of operations.

Recently issued ASUs - Other

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”). The standard is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees, including the timing and measurement of nonemployee awards. The guidance in ASU 2018-06 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption of this guidance.

Note 2 - Revenue Recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers

Oil sales

Under the Company’s oil sales contracts it sells oil production at the point of delivery and collects an agreed upon index price, net of pricing differentials. The Company recognizes revenue when control transfers to the purchaser at the point of delivery at the net price received.

Natural gas sales

Under the Company’s natural gas sales processing contracts, it delivers natural gas to a midstream processing entity. The midstream processing entity gathers and processes the natural gas and remits proceeds to the Company for the resulting sale of natural gas. The revenue received from the sale of NGLs is included in the natural gas sales. Under these processing agreements, when control of the natural gas changes at the point of delivery, the treatment of gathering and treating fees are recorded net of revenues. Gathering and treating fees have historically been recorded as an expense in lease operating expense in the statement of operations. The Company has modified the presentation of revenues and expenses to include these fees net of revenues. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, $2,209 and $5,413 of gathering and treating fees were recognized and recorded as a reduction to natural gas revenues in the consolidated statement of operations, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, $909 and $2,393 of gathering and treating fees were recognized and recorded as part of lease operating expense in the consolidated statement of operations, respectively.

Production imbalances

Previously, the Company elected to utilize the entitlements method to account for natural gas production imbalances, which is no longer applicable. In conjunction with the Company’s adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting standards, there was no material impact to the financial statements due to this change in accounting for its production imbalances.

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations

For the Company’s product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, it has utilized the practical expedient in Accounting Standards Codification 606-10-50-14, which states the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these sales contracts, each unit of product generally represents a separate performance obligation; therefore future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.

Prior period performance obligations

The Company records revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser. However, settlement statements for sales may not be received for 30 to 90 days after the date production is delivered, and as a result, the Company is required to estimate the amount of production delivered to the purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. The Company records the differences between estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. The Company has existing internal controls for its revenue estimation process and related accruals, and any identified differences between its revenue estimates and actual revenue received historically have not been significant.

Note 3 - Acquisitions 

Acquisitions were accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, which involves determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed under the income approach.

2018 Acquisitions

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company completed acquisitions of additional working interests and acreage in the Company’s existing core operating areas of Monarch and Wildhorse, located in the Permian Basin, for an aggregate total purchase price of approximately $35,900 excluding customary purchase price adjustments.

On August 31, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of approximately 28,000 net surface acres in the Spur operating area, located in the Delaware Basin, from Cimarex Energy Company, for $539,519, including customary purchase price adjustments (the “Cimarex Asset Acquisition”). The Company issued debt and equity to fund, in part, the Cimarex Asset Acquisition. See Notes 5 and 10 for additional information regarding the Company’s debt obligations and equity offerings. The following table summarizes the estimated acquisition date fair values of the acquisition:

The preliminary purchase price allocations are subject to change based on numerous factors, including the final adjusted purchase price and the final estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any such adjustments to the preliminary estimates of fair value could be material.

2017 Acquisitions

On February 13, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of 29,175 gross (16,688 net) acres in the Delaware Basin, primarily located in Ward and Pecos Counties, Texas from American Resource Development, LLC, for $646,559 excluding customary purchase price adjustments (the “Ameredev Transaction”). The Company funded the cash purchase price with the net proceeds of an equity offering (see Note 10 for additional information regarding the equity offering). The Company obtained an 82% average working interest (75% average net revenue interest) in the properties acquired in the Ameredev Transaction.

The pro forma financial information was prepared assuming the Cimarex Asset Acquisition and the Ameredev Transaction occurred as of January 1, 2017.

The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable, including revenue, lease operating expenses, production taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, accretion expense, interest expense and capitalized interest.

The properties associated with the Cimarex Asset Acquisition and Ameredev Transaction have been commingled with the Company’s existing properties and it is impractical to provide the stand-alone operational results related to these properties.

Effective September 27, 2018, the Company entered into the second amendment to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to the Credit Facility, which (1) increased the borrowing base to $1,100,000, (2) increase the elected commitment amount to $850,000, and (3) amended various covenants and terms to reflect current market trends. As of September 30, 2018, the Credit Facility’s borrowing base remained at $1,100,000 with an elected commitment amount of $850,000.

As of September 30, 2018, there was $65,000 principal and $17,675 in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility. For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Credit Facility had a weighted-average interest rate of 3.29%, calculated as the LIBOR plus a tiered rate ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, which is determined based on utilization of the facility. In addition, the Credit Facility carried a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum, payable quarterly, on the unused portion of the borrowing base.

6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (“6.375% Senior Notes”)

On June 7, 2018, the Company issued $400,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Notes with a maturity date of July 1, 2026 and interest payable semi-annually beginning on January 1, 2019. The net proceeds of the offering, after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and estimated offering expenses, were approximately $394,000. The 6.375% Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Callon Petroleum Operating Company, and may be guaranteed by certain future subsidiaries. The subsidiary guarantor is 100% owned, all of the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several, the parent company has no independent assets or operations and any subsidiaries of the parent company other than the subsidiary guarantor are minor.

The Company may redeem the 6.375% Senior Notes in accordance with the following terms: (1) prior to July 1, 2021, a redemption of up to 35% of the principal in an amount not greater than the net proceeds from certain equity offerings, and within 180 days of the closing date of such equity offerings, at a redemption price of 106.375% of principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of the redemption, if at least 65% of the principal will remain outstanding after such redemption; (2) prior to July 1, 2021, a redemption of all or part of the principal at a price of 100% of principal of the amount redeemed, plus an applicable make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of the redemption; and (3) a redemption, in whole or in part, at a redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of the redemption, (i) of 103.188% of principal if the redemption occurs on or after July 1, 2021, but before July 1, 2022, and (ii) of 102.125% of principal if the redemption occurs on or after July 1, 2022, but before July 1, 2023, and (iii) of 101.063% of principal if the redemption occurs on or after July 1, 2023, but before July 1, 2024, and (iv) of 100% of principal if the redemption occurs on or after July 1, 2024.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(All dollar amounts in thousands, except per share and per unit data)


Following a change of control, each holder of the 6.375% Senior Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the 6.375% Senior Notes at a price of 101% of principal of the amount repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

6.125% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (“6.125% Senior Notes”)

On October 3, 2016, the Company issued $400,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes with a maturity date of October 1, 2024 and interest payable semi-annually beginning on April 1, 2017. The net proceeds of the offering, after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and estimated offering expenses, were approximately $391,270. The 6.125% Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Callon Petroleum Operating Company, and may be guaranteed by certain future subsidiaries. The subsidiary guarantor is 100% owned, all of the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several, the parent company has no independent assets or operations and any subsidiaries of the parent company other than the subsidiary guarantor are minor.

On May 19, 2017, the Company issued an additional $200,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.125% Senior Notes which with the existing $400,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes are treated as a single class of notes under the indenture. The net proceeds of the offering, including a premium issue price of 104.125% and after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and estimated offering expenses, were approximately $206,139. The Company used the proceeds, in part, to fund an acquisition completed on June 5, 2017 (discussed further in Note 3) and for general corporate purposes.

The Company may redeem the 6.125% Senior Notes in accordance with the following terms: (1) prior to October 1, 2019, a redemption of up to 35% of the principal in an amount not greater than the net proceeds from certain equity offerings, and within 180 days of the closing date of such equity offerings, at a redemption price of 106.125% of principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of the redemption, if at least 65% of the principal will remain outstanding after such redemption; (2) prior to October 1, 2019, a redemption of all or part of the principal at a price of 100% of principal of the amount redeemed, plus an applicable make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of the redemption; and (3) a redemption, in whole or in part, at a redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of the redemption, (i) of 104.594% of principal if the redemption occurs on or after October 1, 2019, but before October 1, 2020, and (ii) of 103.063% of principal if the redemption occurs on or after October 1, 2020, but before October 1, 2021, and (iii) of 101.531% of principal if the redemption occurs on or after October 1, 2021, but before October 1, 2022, and (iv) of 100% of principal if the redemption occurs on or after October 1, 2022.

Following a change of control, each holder of the 6.125% Senior Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the 6.125% Senior Notes at a price of 101% of principal of the amount repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

Restrictive covenants

The Company’s Credit Facility and the indentures governing its 6.125% and 6.375% Senior Notes 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 September 30, 2018.

Note 6 - 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, put and call options 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

13

Callon Petroleum Company
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(All dollar amounts in thousands, except per share and per unit data)

of offset under the agreements. Counterparty credit risk is considered when determining the fair value of a derivative instrument; see Note 7 for additional information regarding fair value.

The Company executes commodity derivative contracts under master agreements with netting provisions that provide for offsetting assets against liabilities. 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, the Company utilizes present value methods that include assumptions about commodity prices based on those observed in underlying markets. See Note 7 for additional information regarding fair value.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Company records its derivative contracts at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and records changes in fair value as a gain or loss on derivative contracts in the consolidated statements of operations. Settlements are also recorded as a gain or loss on derivative contracts in the consolidated statements of operations.

Note 7 - Fair Value Measurements

The fair value hierarchy included in GAAP 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, and restricted investments. The carrying amounts for these instruments approximated fair value due to the short-term nature or maturity of the instruments.

Debt. The carrying amount of the Company’s floating-rate debt approximated fair value because the interest rates were variable and reflective of market rates.

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. 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 6 for additional information regarding the Company’s derivative instruments.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

Acquisitions. The Company determines the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the income approach based on expected discounted future cash flows from estimated reserve quantities, costs to produce and develop reserves, and oil and natural gas forward prices. The future net revenues are discounted using a weighted average cost of capital. The discounted future net revenues of proved undeveloped and probable reserves are reduced by an additional reserve adjustment factor to compensate for the inherent risk of estimating the value of unevaluated properties. The fair value measurements are based on Level 2 and Level 3 inputs.

Note 8 - Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes at the statutory rate of 21%. The statutory rate is adjusted for permanent differences expected to be realized, which primarily relate to non-deductible executive compensation expenses, restricted stock windfalls and shortfalls, and state income taxes.

As a result of the write-down of oil and natural gas properties in the latter part of 2015 and the first half of 2016, the Company incurred a cumulative three year loss. Because of the impact the cumulative loss has on the determination of the recoverability of deferred tax assets through future earnings, the Company assessed the ability to realize its deferred tax assets based on the future reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities. Accordingly, the Company established a full valuation allowance for the net U.S. federal deferred tax asset in 2015. In subsequent periods where the Company has recorded pre-tax income, it has reversed a portion of the U.S. federal valuation allowance, net of discrete items, to the extent necessary to offset U.S. federal income tax expense on pre-tax income recorded for the period. Income tax expense recorded in this period primarily relates to deferred State of Texas gross margin tax. The valuation allowance was $30,281 as of September 30, 2018

(All dollar amounts in thousands, except per share and per unit data)

Certain of the Company’s operating agreements require that assets be restricted for abandonment obligations. Amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2018 as long-term restricted investments were $3,413. These assets, which primarily include short-term U.S. Government securities, are held in abandonment trusts dedicated to pay future abandonment costs for several of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties.

Note 10 - Equity Transactions

10% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”)

Holders of the Company’s Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Company’s 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 the Company’s Board of Directors. Preferred Stock dividends were $1,823 and $1,824 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Preferred Stock dividends of $5,471 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 remained consistent compared to the same period of 2017.

The Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund or other mandatory redemption. The Company may, at its option, redeem the Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 30, 2018, by paying $50.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.

Following a change of control in which the Company or the acquirer no longer have a class of common securities listed on a national exchange, the Company will have the option to redeem the Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part, for $50.00 per share in cash plus accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to the redemption date. If the Company does not exercise its option to redeem the Preferred Stock upon such change of control, the holders of the Preferred Stock have the option to convert the Preferred Stock into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock based on the value of the common stock on the date of the change of control as determined under the certificate of designations for the Preferred Stock. If the change of control occurred on September 30, 2018, and the Company did not exercise its right to redeem the Preferred Stock, using the closing price of $11.99 as the value of a share of common stock, each share of Preferred Stock would be convertible into approximately 4.2 shares of common stock. If the Company exercises its redemption rights relating to shares of Preferred Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock will not have the conversion right described above.

Common stock  

On May 30, 2018, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 25,300,000 shares of its common stock for total estimated net proceeds (after the underwriter’s discounts and estimated offering costs) of approximately $288,364. The Company used proceeds from the offering to partially fund the Cimarex Asset Acquisition completed in the third quarter, described in Note 3.

On December 19, 2016, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 40,000,000 shares of its common stock for total estimated net proceeds (after the underwriter’s discounts and estimated offering expenses) of approximately $634,934. Proceeds from the offering were used to substantially fund the Ameredev Transaction, described in Note 3.

Note 11 - Other

Operating leases

As of September 30, 2018 the Company had contracts for five horizontal drilling rigs. The contract terms, as amended effective as of July 9, 2018, will end on various dates between July 2019 and February 2021. All of the drilling rig contracts provide for early termination, with penalties calculated at a reduced daily rate. In the event that Callon terminated all five drilling contracts as of November 6, 2018, the Company would owe a maximum of $26,696 over the remaining terms of the respective contracts, offset by any revenues earned for replacement work subsequently secured by the contractor. Management does not currently anticipate the early termination of any drilling rig contracts.

Other commitments

In March 2018, the Company entered into a contract for dedicated fracturing and pump down perforating crews, which was effective on April 16, 2018 for a two-year period. The agreement was amended effective October 16, 2018 to reflect updated market conditions and to extend the contract expiration date to December 31, 2021.

In August 2018, the Company executed a firm transportation agreement for dedicated capacity on a new pipeline system that will connect with a regional gathering system which currently transports oil volumes under long-term agreements from our properties in Howard,

Ward, Reagan and Upton counties to multiple marketing points in the Permian Basin. Subject to completion of the new pipeline system, which will have delivery points in several locations along the Gulf Coast, we will have a long-term commitment that will apply applicable tariff rates to our 15,000 Bbls per day commitment for the term of the agreement. Barrels may be transported to multiple delivery points along the Gulf Coast and may include volumes produced by us and other third-party working, royalty, and overriding royalty interest owners whose volumes we market on their behalf.

Callon Petroleum Company
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results


Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

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 2017 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, focused on the acquisition, development, exploration and exploitation of unconventional, onshore, oil and natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin. The Permian Basin is located in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico and is comprised of three primary sub-basins: the Midland Basin, the Delaware Basin, and the Central Basin Platform. We have historically been focused on the Midland Basin and more recently entered the Delaware Basin through an acquisition completed in February 2017. Our operating culture is centered on responsible development of hydrocarbon resources, with a particular focus on safety and the environment, which we believe strengthens our operational performance. Our operational performance is enhanced by the empowerment of our employees. Our drilling activity is predominantly focused on the horizontal development of several prospective intervals, including multiple levels of the Wolfcamp formation and the Lower Spraberry shales. 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 working interest acquisitions, leasing programs, acreage purchases, joint ventures and asset swaps. Our production was approximately 77% oil and 23% natural gas for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. On September 30, 2018, our net acreage position in the Permian Basin was approximately 87,000 net acres.

Acquisition Highlights

On August 31, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of approximately 28,000 net surface acres in the Spur operating area, located in the Delaware Basin, from Cimarex Energy Company, for $539.5 million, including customary purchase price adjustments (the “Cimarex Asset Acquisition”). The Company issued debt and equity to fund, in part, the Cimarex Asset Acquisition. See Notes 3, 5, and 10 in the Footnotes to the Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Company’s acquisitions, debt obligations, and equity offerings.

Operational Highlights

All of our producing properties are located in the Permian Basin. As a result of our acquisitions and horizontal development efforts, our production grew 55% and 39% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same periods of 2017, respectively. Production increased to 3,212 MBOE for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from 2,074 MBOE for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and increased to 8,238 MBOE for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from 5,934 MBOE for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we drilled 19 gross (15.2 net) horizontal wells and completed 19 gross (14.6 net) horizontal wells. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we drilled 53 gross (42.2 net) horizontal wells and completed 46 gross (36.3 net) horizontal wells. As of September 30, 2018, we had 12 gross (10.0 net) horizontal wells awaiting completion.

As of September 30, 2018, we had 846 gross (641.6 net) working interest oil wells, three gross (0.1 net) royalty interest oil wells and no natural gas wells. A well is categorized as an oil well or a natural gas well based upon the ratio of oil to natural gas reserves on a BOE basis. However, most of our wells produce both oil and natural gas.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, our primary sources of capital have been cash flows from operations, borrowings from financial institutions, the sale of debt and equity securities, and non-core asset dispositions. Our primary uses of capital have been for the acquisition, development, exploration and exploitation of oil and natural gas properties, in addition to refinancing of debt instruments. We continue to evaluate other sources of capital to complement our cash flow from operations and as we pursue our long-term growth plans.

As of September 30, 2018, we had $65 million principal outstanding on our Credit Facility, which had a borrowing base of $1.1 billion with an elected commitment of $850 million. At period ended September 30, 2018, we held cash and cash equivalents of $12.1 million as compared to $28.0 million at year ended December 31, 2017.

Operating activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash provided by operating activities was $316.0 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $149.7 million for the same period in 2017. The change was predominantly attributable to the following:

An increase in revenue;
A decrease on settlements of derivative contracts;
An increase in certain operating expenses related to acquired properties;  
An decrease in payments in cash-settled restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards; and
A change related to the timing of working capital payments and receipts.

Production, realized prices, and operating expenses are discussed below in Results of Operations. See Notes 6 and 7 in the Footnotes to the Financial Statements for a reconciliation of the components of the Company’s derivative contracts and disclosures related to derivative instruments including their composition and valuation. 

Investing activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash used in investing activities was $1.0 billion compared to $935.6 million for the same period in 2017. The change was predominantly attributable to the following:

A $178.9 million increase in operational expenditures due to the transition from a three-rig program in the second quarter 2017 to a five-rig program commencing February 2018; and
An $80.7 million decrease in acquisition activity, net of proceeds from sale of assets. See Note 3 in the Footnotes to the Financial Statements for additional information on the Company’s acquisitions.

Capital Plan and Year to Date 2018 Summary

Operational capital expenditures, including other items, on an accrual basis were $442.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. In addition to the operational capital expenditures, $19.9 million of capitalized general and administrative and $38.7 million of capitalized interest expenses were accrued in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, we have placed 48 gross (36.5 net) horizontal wells on production. Our operational capital budget for 2018 was revised to approximately $560 million.

Our revenues, earnings, liquidity and ability to grow are substantially dependent on the prices we receive for, and our ability to develop our reserves of oil and natural gas. We believe the long-term outlook for our business is favorable due to our resource base, low cost structure, financial strength, risk management, including commodity hedging strategy, and disciplined investment of capital. We monitor current and expected market conditions, including the commodity price environment, and our liquidity needs and may adjust our capital investment plan accordingly.
