Vista Oil & Gas Results of the First Quarter of 2020

April 28, 2020, Mexico City, Mexico

Vista Oil & Gas, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Vista” or the “Company”) (NYSE: VIST in the New York Stock Exchange; BMV: VISTA in the Mexican Stock Exchange), reported today financial and operational results for the first quarter (“Q1”) of 2020.

Q1 2020 highlights:

 

 

The Covid-19 pandemic is an unprecedented health crisis that is currently causing a significant impact on the global economy and financial markets, the oil and gas industry, and our operations in Argentina and Mexico.

 

 

In order to safeguard our people, more than 75% of our employees are currently working from their homes, following our strict health protocol. To ensure business continuity, we are maintaining essential field operations, thus reducing our active workforce in the field by 65%. We have also opened a Covid-19 helpdesk for employee Q&A.

 

 

In Q1 2020, our total production was 26,485 boe/d, 3.1% above Q1 2019. Average daily production was composed of: 16,991 barrels of oil per day (bbl/d), 12.6% above Q1 2019; 1.41 MMm3/d of natural gas, 11.4% below Q1 2019; and 645 boe/d of natural gas liquids (NGL). Total operated production represented 97% of total production in Q1 2020.

 

 

In Q1 2020, our total shale production was 5,838 boe/d, representing 22% of our total production. Our 12 shale oil wells in Bajada del Palo Oeste were shut-in on March 20 in response to falling crude oil demand.

 

 

Net revenues in Q1 2020 were 73.3 $MM, 21.8% lower than the 93.7 $MM generated in Q1 2019, due to softer realized prices.

 

 

In Q1 2020, the average crude oil realized price was 43.0 $/bbl, 24.2% lower than Q1 2019. In March, average realized oil price fell to 26.5 $/bbl, as the Covid-19 pandemic hit commodity prices, thus affecting our realized prices, which were linked to Brent in such month.

 

 

Natural gas realized price for Q1 2020 was 2.2 $/MMBTU, a 40.5% decrease y-o-y, mainly driven by a decrease of 51% in industry segment prices and 35% in the power generation segment prices.

 

 

Average lifting cost in Q1 2020 was 9.9 $/boe, representing a 17.5% decrease compared to the average lifting cost in Q1 2019, which was 12.0 $/boe.

 

 

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2020 reached 25.3 $MM, 31.9% below Q1 2019 and resulting in an adjusted EBITDA margin of 34%.

 

 

In Q1 2020, CAPEX was 71.7 $MM, 63.2 $MM of which were invested in Vista’s Vaca Muerta development project in Bajada del Palo Oeste, where we completed and tied-in our 4-well pad n°3 and started drilling our 4-well pads n°4 and n°5.

 

 

End of quarter cash balance was 205.3 $MM, while gross debt totaled 481.4 $MM, resulting in a net debt of 276.2 $MM, and a net leverage ratio of 1.7 times last twelve months (LTM) Adjusted EBITDA.

 

 

Q1 2020 net loss was 21.3 $MM.

Average daily production during Q1 2020 was 26,485 boe/d, comprised by 16,991 bbl/d of oil, representing 64.2% of total production, 1.41 MMm3/d of natural gas and 645 boe/d of natural gas liquids.

Total operated production during Q1 2020 was 25,824 boe/d, 98% of total production. Total shale production was 5,838 boe/d, including 5,599 boe/d of shale operated production in Bajada del Palo Oeste and 197 boe/d in Águila Mora and 113 boe/d of shale non-operated production in Coirón Amargo Sur Oeste (CASO).

Our 12 shale oil wells in Bajada del Palo Oeste produced approximately 11,500 boe/d before they were shut-in on March 20, anticipating a decrease in demand and storage restrictions and in order to protect our conventional production, as shale reservoirs provide efficient storage solutions.

During Q1 2020, total revenues were 73.3 $MM, 21.8% lower than Q1 2019. Oil revenues decreased 15.4% and natural gas revenues decreased 47.1% y-o-y.

Crude oil revenues in Q1 2020 totaled 62.0 $MM, 15.4% below Q1 2019, as the increase in volumes sold was offset by a reduction of 24.2% in the average realized price to 43.0 $/bbl. Average sales price was 55.7 $/bbl in January and 48.2 $/bbl in February, but fell to 26.5 $/bbl in March, as the Covid-19 pandemic hit commodity prices, thus affecting our realized prices, which were linked to Brent in March. Crude oil was sold to domestic refineries, primarily to Raízen and Trafigura.

Natural gas revenues represented 13.8% of total revenues. During Q1 2020, sales were made to a diversified portfolio of industrial clients, representing 60% of total natural gas volumes, at an average realized price of 2.0 $/MMBTU, 33% to distribution companies and CNG clients at an average price of 2.9 $/MMBTU, and the 7% remaining sales were made to the power generation segment at an average price of 1.8 $/MMBTU. The total average price of natural gas sales for the quarter was 2.2 $/MMBTU, 40.5% below Q1 2019, mainly driven by a decrease of 51% in industry segment prices and 33% in the power generation segment prices.

Natural gas liquids sales were 1.2 $MM during Q1 2020, representing 1.7% of total sales. NGL volumes were allocated to the Argentine market at an average price of 245 U.S. dollars per ton ($/tn).

During Q1 2020, operational expenses were 23.8 $MM, a 14.4% decrease y-o-y, reflecting the impact of the cost reduction initiatives conducted during 2019 and cost-cutting measures implemented after the decline in domestic oil demand in March. The average lifting cost in Q1 2020 was 9.9 $/boe, a 17.5% decrease compared to Q1 2019. This decrease was mainly the result of optimized field operations and absorbed fixed cost base with incremental ramp-up in shale production.

Note: amounts may not sum due to rounding

Adjusted EBITDA was 25.3 $MM in Q1 2020, 31.8% below Q1 2019. During January and February 2020, with no production restrictions and with approximately 52 $/bbl of average realized price, Adjusted EBITDA margin was above 40%. In March 2020, a combination of partial production shut in and a 26 $/bbl average realized price drove Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter down to 34%.

Net Profit / Loss

Vista recorded a net loss of 21.3 $MM compared to a net loss of 13.7 $MM during Q1 2019, mainly impacted by an increase in depreciations to 33.5 $MM.

Operational Update

Total capital expenditures (“CAPEX”) in shale activity was 63.2 $MM, of which more than 99% were invested in Vista’s Vaca Muerta development project in Bajada del Palo Oeste. During the quarter, we completed and tied-in our 4-well pad n°3 and drilled four additional wells in pads n°4 and pad n°5.

The Company invested 0.4 $MM in conventional activity, mainly impacted by the scale down of capital expenditure activities due to a softened realized price. Additionally, CAPEX in facilities and others was 8.1 $MM in the Q1 2020.

Therefore, Vista’s CAPEX during Q1 2020 was 71.7 $MM, on an accrual basis. Cash flow from investing activities, which reflects effective cash outflows to CAPEX, was 52.1 $MM during Q1 2020.

Financial overview

During Q1 2020, in a context of low realized oil prices, the Company maintained a solid balance sheet. Cash and cash equivalents position as of March 31, 2020 was 205.3 $MM, while the financial debt totaled 481.4 $MM, resulting in a net debt of 276.2 $MM. The implied net leverage ratio was 1.7 times LTM Adjusted EBITDA. During Q1 2020, cash flow from operations was 21.0 $MM.

For this reason, certain percentage amounts in this presentation may vary from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in the financial statements. In addition, certain other amounts that appear in this presentation may not sum due to rounding.

This presentation contains certain metrics that do not have standardized meanings or standard methods of calculation and therefore such measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
