Forward-Looking & Other Cautionary Statements
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: This presentation (which includes oral statements made in connection with this presentation) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All written or oral statements, other than historical financial information, may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Words such as expects, forecast, guidance, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, seeks, estimates and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements; however, these are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements. In particular, the Company is providing 2015 and 2016 operating guidance, which contains projections for certain 2015 and 2016 operational and financial metrics as well as certain projections for the third quarter of 2015.
These and other forward-looking statements in this presentation are based on management’s judgment as of the date of this presentation and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Actual results may vary significantly from those indicated in the forward-looking statements due to, among other things, oil, NGL and natural gas price volatility, including regional price differentials; changes in operational and capital plans; costs, availability and timing of build-out of third party facilities for gathering, processing, refining and transportation; delays or other impediments to drilling and completing wells arising from political or judicial developments at the local, state or federal level, including voter initiatives related to hydraulic fracturing; development drilling and testing results; the potential for production decline rates to be greater than expected; regulatory delays, including seasonal or other wildlife restrictions on federal lands; exploration risks such as drilling unsuccessful wells; higher than expected costs and expenses, including the availability and cost of services and materials; unexpected future capital expenditures; economic and competitive conditions; debt and equity market conditions, including the availability and costs of financing to fund the Company’s operations; the ability to obtain industry partners to jointly explore certain prospects, and the willingness and ability of those partners to meet capital obligations when requested; declines in the values of our oil and gas properties resulting in impairments; changes in estimates of proved reserves; compliance with environmental and other regulations; derivative and hedging activities; risks associated with operating in one major geographic area; the success of the Company’s risk management activities; title to properties; litigation; environmental liabilities and other factors discussed in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC, specifically Item 1A, Risk Factors, and other filings including our Current Reports on Form 8-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, for further discussion of risk factors that may affect the forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation to publicly revise or update any forward-looking statements based on future events or circumstances or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
This presentation is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

DisclosuresDISCLOSURE STATEMENTS
Please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC, specifically Item 1A, Risk Factors, and other filings including our Current Reports on Form 8-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, for further discussion of risk factors that may affect the forward-looking statements. The Company encourages you to consider the risks and uncertainties associated with projections and other forward-looking statements and to not place undue reliance on any such statements. In addition, the Company assumes no obligation to publicly revise or update any forward-looking statements based on future events or circumstances or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
Reserve Disclosure
The SEC generally permits oil and gas companies, in filings made with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves, which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms. In this presentation, the Company uses the terms “estimated ultimate recovery”, “EUR” or other descriptions of potential reserves or volumes of reserves, as well as aggregated proved, probable and possible (“3P”) reserves, which the SEC guidelines restrict from being included in filings with the SEC. The Company provides internally generated estimates for probable and possible reserves in this presentation. The estimates conform to Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (SPEE) methodology. They are not prepared or reviewed by third party engineers. The Company’s 2014 probable and possible reserve estimates are determined using year-end pricing, as used in the calculation of proved reserves. Probable and possible reserves and other estimates of non-proved reserves are subject to significantly greater risk of recovery than proved reserves. EURs refer to the Company’s internal estimates of per-well hydrocarbon quantities that may be potentially recovered from a hypothetical and/or actual well completed in the area. Actual quantities that may be ultimately recovered from the Company’s interests are unknown. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of the Company’s ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, availability and cost of drilling services and equipment, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals and other factors, as well as actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates. Estimates of ultimate recovery from reserves may change significantly as development of the Company’s core assets provide additional data. In addition, the Company’s production forecasts and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells and the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity, which may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases. The Company's estimate of probable and possible reserves, 3P reserves and EURs are provided in this presentation because management believes it is useful, additional information that is widely used by the investment community in the valuation, comparison and analysis of companies.
Well Performance
The calculation of 30-day initial production rates measures the daily production from a well starting with the date upon which the Company determines the well has achieved peak production and averages the daily production for the following 30 days. This date will occur at some date after oil production commences. In addition, in calculating the IP rate of a well over a specified period of time, the calculation will exclude days on which production is impaired for mechanical, third party mid-stream or other non-geologic reasons. IP rates and other initial indications of well performance do not necessarily reflect EURs or other long-term measures of a well’s performance. Peer data may not be comparable to results reported by the Company.
Non-GAAP Measures
Non-GAAP measures included herein include Adjusted Net Income, Discretionary Cash Flow, Pre-Tax PV10 and General and Administrative Expenses before Non-Cash Stock-Based Compensation. These measures are included because management believes they are useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s operating performance. These measures are widely used in the oil and natural gas industry. Calculations of these measures may differ by company. Please refer to the Company’s first and second quarter 2015, and full-year 2014 earnings releases dated May 8, 2015, August 6, 2015, and February 25, 2015, respectively, for reconciliations of these measures to the closest GAAP measure.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Rate of return estimates do not reflect lease acquisition costs or corporate general and administrative expenses.
Initial and test results from a well do not necessarily reflect the well’s longer-term performance or the performance of other wells in the same area.
