HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 21, 2023--
Black Stone Minerals, L.P. (NYSE: BSM) (“Black Stone Minerals,” “Black Stone,” or “the Company”) today announces its financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2022 and provides guidance for 2023.
Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights
Full Year Financial and Operational Highlights
Management Commentary
Thomas L. Carter, Jr., Black Stone Minerals’ Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, commented, “Our record fourth quarter results capped a very successful year for Black Stone Minerals. Without issuing additional equity, we reduced our total debt and increased royalty production through our organic growth efforts to attract additional operator capital to our existing acreage positions. The development programs on our Haynesville and Bossier Shelby Trough acreage continues to ramp up with Aethon as our operating partner. In addition, new drilling activity is continuing to increase across numerous operators on our East Texas Austin Chalk acreage. We enter 2023 well positioned to drive further royalty production growth while maintaining our very healthy balance sheet.”
Quarterly Financial and Operating Results
Production
Black Stone Minerals reported mineral and royalty volumes of 40.0 MBoe/d (74% natural gas) for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 37.3 MBoe/d for the third quarter of 2022. Mineral and royalty production was 35.2 MBoe/d for the fourth quarter of 2021. Mineral and royalty production in the fourth quarter of 2022 benefited from a large number of initial payments received on wells in the Midland and Delaware basins, as well as a one-time adjustment to reflect the impact of higher overrides on farmed-out Shelby Trough wells that had achieved payout.
Working interest production for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 2.1 MBoe/d, and represents a decrease of 19% from the 2.6 MBoe/d for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and a decrease of 46% from the 3.9 MBoe/d for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The continued decline in working interest production is consistent with the Company's decision to farm out its working-interest participation to third-party capital providers.
Total reported production averaged 42.1 MBoe/d (95% mineral and royalty, 74% natural gas) for the fourth quarter of 2022. Total production was 40.0 MBoe/d and 39.1 MBoe/d for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Realized Prices, Revenues, and Net Income
The Company’s average realized price per Boe, excluding the effect of derivative settlements, was $50.67 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. This is a decrease of 15% from $59.30 per Boe for the third quarter of 2022 and a 15% increase compared to $44.12 for the fourth quarter of 2021.
Black Stone reported oil and gas revenue of $196.2 million (44% oil and condensate) for the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of 10% from $218.0 million in the third quarter of 2022. Oil and gas revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021 was $158.9 million.
The Company reported a gain on commodity derivative instruments of $31.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, composed of a $40.6 million loss from realized settlements and a non-cash $72.0 million unrealized gain due to the change in value of Black Stone’s derivative positions during the quarter. Black Stone reported a loss on commodity derivative instruments of $4.7 million and a gain of $18.4 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Lease bonus and other income was $2.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily related to leasing activity in Austin Chalk, the Bakken Three Forks and Haynesville plays. Lease bonus and other income for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $3.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
There was no impairment for the quarters ended December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
The Company reported net income of $183.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to net income of $168.5 million in the preceding quarter. For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, net income was $134.2 million.
Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $131.7 million, which compares to $123.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 and $77.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Distributable cash flow for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was $125.3 million. For the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Distributable cash flow was $116.5 million and $71.3 million, respectively. The reported Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable cash flow are both record levels for Black Stone as a public company.
2022Proved Reserves
Estimated proved oil and natural gas reserves at year-end 2022 were 64.1 MMBoe, an increase of 7% from 59.8 MMBoe at year-end 2021, and were approximately 70% natural gas and 91% proved developed producing. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows was $1,665.0 million at the end of 2022, as compared to $972.1 million at year-end 2021.
Netherland, Sewell and Associates, Inc., an independent, third-party petroleum engineering firm, evaluated Black Stone Minerals’ estimate of its proved reserves and PV-10 at December 31, 2022. These estimates were prepared using reference prices of $94.14 per barrel of oil and $6.36 per MMBTU of natural gas in accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (as compared to prompt month prices of $77.10 per barrel of oil and $2.275 per MMBTU of natural gas as of February 17, 2023). These prices were adjusted for quality and market differentials, transportation fees, and, in the case of natural gas, the value of natural gas liquids. A reconciliation of proved reserves is presented in the summary financial tables following this press release.
FinancialPosition and Activities
As of December 31, 2022, Black Stone Minerals had $4.3 million in cash and $10.0 million outstanding under its credit facility. The Company paid down $50 million of debt during the fourth quarter of 2022 and $79 million of debt during the full year. The ratio of total debt at year-end to 2022 Adjusted EBITDA was 0.02x. The Company’s borrowing base at December 31, 2022 was $550 million, and total commitments under the credit facility were $375 million. The Company's next regularly scheduled borrowing base redetermination is set for April 2023. Black Stone is in compliance with all financial covenants associated with its credit facility.
As of February 17, 2023, no debt was outstanding under the credit facility and the Company had $57.3 million in cash.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company made no repurchases of units under the Board-approved $75 million unit repurchase program.
Fourth Quarter 2022 Distributions
As previously announced, the Board approved a cash distribution of $0.475 for each common unit attributable to the fourth quarter of 2022. The quarterly distribution coverage ratio attributable to the fourth quarter of 2022 was approximately 1.26x. These distributions will be paid on February 23, 2023 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on February 16, 2023.
Activity Update
Rig Activity
As of December 31, 2022, Black Stone had 108 rigs operating across its acreage position, a 17% increase to rig activity on the Company's acreage as of September 30, 2022 and 14% higher as compared to the 95 rigs operating on the Company's acreage as of December 31, 2021 driven by increased rig activity in the Midland and Delaware basins.
Shelby Trough Development Update
In Angelina County, Texas, ten wells are currently producing under Black Stone’s development agreement with Aethon, and another ten wells are being drilled or completed. Under a separate development agreement with Aethon in San Augustine Texas, four wells are currently producing and another six wells are either drilling or awaiting completion operations.
Austin Chalk Update
The Company owns a large mineral position in the Brookeland Austin Chalk play in East Texas. To date, eighteen new generation, multi-stage completion wells have turned to sales across the Polk, Jasper, Newton area. Production results have proven that new completion technology can improve well performance in play. Black Stone expects additional drilling by multiple operators over this area in the future.
Summary 2023 Guidance
Following are the key assumptions in Black Stone Minerals’ 2023 guidance, as well as comparable results for 2022:
| FY 2022 Actual |
| FY 2023 Est. |
Mineral and royalty production (MBoe/d) | 34.3 |
| 35 - 37 |
Working interest production (MBoe/d) | 2.8 |
| 2 - 3 |
Total production (MBoe/d) | 37.1 |
| 37 - 39 |
Percentage natural gas | 74% |
| 72% |
Percentage royalty interest | 92% |
| 94% |
|
|
|
|
Lease bonus and other income ($MM) | $13.1 |
| $10 - $12 |
|
|
|
|
Lease operating expense ($MM) | $12.4 |
| $12 - $13 |
Production costs and ad valorem taxes (as % of total pre-derivative O&G revenue) | 9% |
| 9% - 11% |
|
|
|
|
G&A - cash ($MM) | $36.3 |
| $42 - $44 |
G&A - non-cash ($MM) | $17.4 |
| $12 - $14 |
G&A - TOTAL ($MM) | $53.7 |
| $54 - $58 |
|
|
|
|
DD&A ($/Boe) | $3.53 |
| $3.50 - $3.75 |
Black Stone expects royalty production to increase by approximately 5% in 2023 relative to full year 2022 levels, primarily due to increasing development pace in the Shelby Trough by Aethon in the area and continued development in the Austin Chalk.
Working interest production is expected to decline in 2023 as a result of Black Stone's decision in 2017 to farm-out participation in its working interest opportunities.
The Partnership expects general and administrative expenses to be slightly higher in 2023 as a result of inflationary costs and selective hires made to support Black Stone’s ability to evaluate, market and manage its undeveloped acreage positions to potential operators.
Hedge Position
Black Stone has commodity derivative contracts in place covering portions of its anticipated production for 2023 and 2024, including derivative contracts put in place after the end of the year. The Company's hedge position as of February 17, 2023, is summarized in the following tables:

1 As a mineral-and-royalty-interest owner, Black Stone Minerals is often provided insufficient and inconsistent data on natural gas liquid ("NGL") volumes by its operators. As a result, the Company is unable to reliably determine the total volumes of NGLs associated with the production of natural gas on its acreage. Accordingly, no NGL volumes are included in our reported production; however, revenue attributable to NGLs is included in natural gas revenue and the calculation of realized prices for natural gas.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable cash flow are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by Black Stone's management and external users of the Company's financial statements such as investors, research analysts, and others, to assess the financial performance of its assets and its ability to sustain distributions over the long term without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization adjusted for impairment of oil and natural gas properties, if any, accretion of asset retirement obligations, unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments, non-cash equity-based compensation, and gains and losses on sales of assets, if any. Black Stone defines Distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA plus or minus amounts for certain non-cash operating activities, cash interest expense, and restructuring charges, if any.
Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable cash flow should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States as measures of the Company's financial performance.
Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable cash flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income (loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. The Company's computation of Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable cash flow may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.
