Hess Reports Estimated Results for the First Quarter of 2023

Key Developments:

  • The Prosperity floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO), which will be utilized by the Payara development, arrived at the Stabroek Block, offshore Guyana, on April 11th and is targeted for startup early fourth quarter; hook-up and commissioning activities have commenced
  • Continued exploration success on the Stabroek Block, with a new oil discovery at the Lancetfish-1 well
  • Improved returns to stockholders through a 17 percent increase in the first quarter dividend to $0.4375 per share

First Quarter Financial and Operational Highlights:

  • Net income was $346 million, or $1.13 per share, compared with net income of $417 million, or $1.34 per share, in the first quarter of 2022; adjusted net income1 in the first quarter of 2022 was $404 million, or $1.30 per share
  • Oil and gas net production was 374,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), up 36 percent from 276,000 boepd, proforma for asset sold, in the first quarter of 2022
  • Bakken net production was 163,000 boepd, up 7 percent from 152,000 boepd in the first quarter of 2022; Guyana net production was 112,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd), compared with 30,000 bopd in the prior-year quarter
  • E&P capital and exploratory expenditures were $765 million compared with $580 million in the prior-year quarter

2023 Updated Guidance:

  • Full year net production is now forecast to be in the range of 365,000 boepd to 375,000 boepd, compared with previous guidance of 355,000 boepd to 365,000 boepd primarily due to strong operational performance in the first quarter of 2023

  Hess Corporation (NYSE: HES) today reported net income of $346 million, or $1.13 per share, in the first quarter of 2023, compared with net income of $417 million, or $1.34 per share, in the first quarter of 2022. On an adjusted basis, the Corporation reported net income of $404 million, or $1.30 per share in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in after-tax results compared with the prior-year quarter reflects lower realized selling prices partially offset by the net impact of higher production volumes in the first quarter of 2023.

1. “Adjusted net income” is a non-GAAP financial measure. The reconciliation to its nearest GAAP equivalent measure, and its definition, appear on pages 5 and 7, respectively.

   “We continue to successfully execute our strategy, which offers a unique value proposition to investors,” CEO John Hess said. “With multiple phases of low cost oil developments coming online in Guyana and our robust inventory of high return drilling locations in the Bakken, our company is positioned to deliver durable cash flow growth that enables us to continue to invest in some of the highest return projects in the industry and to grow our cash returns to our shareholders.”

   After-tax income (loss) by major operating activity was as follows:

Exploration and Production:

   E&P net income was $405 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared with $460 million in the first quarter of 2022. The Corporation’s average realized crude oil selling price, including the effect of hedging, was $74.23 per barrel in the first quarter of 2023, compared with $86.75 per barrel in the prior-year quarter. The average realized natural gas liquids (NGL) selling price in the first quarter of 2023 was $24.25 per barrel, compared with $39.79 per barrel in the prior-year quarter, while the average realized natural gas selling price was $4.39 per mcf, compared with $5.28 per mcf in the first quarter of 2022.

   Net production was 374,000 boepd in the first quarter of 2023, compared with 276,000 boepd, proforma for asset sold, in the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher production in Guyana and the Bakken.

   Cash operating costs, which include operating costs and expenses, production and severance taxes, and E&P general and administrative expenses, were $12.96 per barrel of oil equivalent (boe) in the first quarter of 2023, compared with $13.79 per boe (excluding Libya: $14.54 per boe) in the prior-year quarter. The decrease in cash operating costs in the first quarter of this year, compared with the first quarter of last year, reflects the higher production volumes.

Operational Highlights for the First Quarter of 2023:

   Bakken (Onshore U.S.): Net production from the Bakken was 163,000 boepd in the first quarter of 2023 compared with 152,000 boepd in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher NGL volumes received under percentage of proceeds contracts and increased drilling and completion activity. The Corporation added a fourth drilling rig in July 2022 and drilled 25 wells, completed 26 wells, and brought 24 new wells online during the first quarter of 2023.

   Gulf of Mexico (Offshore U.S.): Net production from the Gulf of Mexico in the first quarter of 2023 was 33,000 boepd, compared with 30,000 boepd in the prior-year quarter.

   Guyana (Offshore): At the Stabroek Block (Hess – 30%), net production from the Liza Destiny and the Liza Unity FPSOs totaled 112,0002 bopd in the first quarter of 2023 compared with 30,000 bopd in the prior-year quarter. The Liza Unity FPSO, which commenced production in February 2022, reached its production capacity of approximately 220,000 gross bopd in July 2022. In the first quarter of 2023, we sold nine cargos of crude oil from Guyana compared with two cargos in the prior year quarter.

   The third development, Payara, which will utilize the Prosperity FPSO with a production capacity of approximately 220,000 gross bopd, is targeted for startup early in the fourth quarter. The Prosperity FPSO arrived at the Stabroek Block on April 11th and hook-up and commissioning activities have commenced. The fourth development, Yellowtail, was sanctioned in April 2022 and will utilize the ONE GUYANA FPSO with a production capacity of approximately 250,000 gross bopd, with first production expected in 2025. Government and regulatory approvals are expected very soon for a fifth development, Uaru, with a production capacity of approximately 250,000 gross bopd.

   The Corporation today announced an oil discovery at the Lancetfish-1 well on the Stabroek Block, offshore Guyana. The Lancetfish-1 well encountered approximately 92 feet of oil bearing sandstone reservoir. The well was drilled in 5,843 feet of water by the Noble Don Taylor and is located approximately 4 miles southeast of the Fangtooth discovery.

   The Kokwari-1 exploration well was drilled during the quarter and did not encounter commercial quantities of hydrocarbons.

2. Net production from Guyana in the first quarter of 2023 included 15,000 bopd of tax barrels. There were no tax barrels in the first quarter of 2022.

   Southeast Asia (Offshore): Net production at North Malay Basin and JDA was 66,000 boepd in the first quarter of 2023 compared with 64,000 boepd in the prior-year quarter.

Midstream:

   The Midstream segment had net income of $61 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared with net income of $72 million in the prior-year quarter.

   In March 2023, Hess Midstream Operations LP (HESM Opco), a consolidated subsidiary of Hess Midstream LP (HESM), repurchased approximately 3.6 million HESM Opco Class B units from Hess Corporation and Global Infrastructure Partners for $100 million, of which the Corporation received net proceeds of $50 million. The purchase was financed by HESM Opco's revolving credit facility. After giving effect to this transaction, the Corporation continues to own approximately 41% of HESM on a consolidated basis.

Corporate, Interest and Other:

   After-tax expense for Corporate, Interest and Other was $120 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared with $115 million in the first quarter of 2022. On an adjusted basis, after-tax expense for Corporate, Interest and Other was $128 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Capital and Exploratory Expenditures:

   E&P capital and exploratory expenditures were $765 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared with $580 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher drilling in the Bakken and development activities in Guyana. Midstream capital expenditures were $57 million in the first quarter of 2023 and $37 million in the prior-year quarter.

Liquidity:

   Excluding the Midstream segment, Hess Corporation had cash and cash equivalents of $2.1 billion and debt and finance lease obligations totaling $5.6 billion at March 31, 2023. The Midstream segment had cash and cash equivalents of $4 million and total debt of $3.0 billion at March 31, 2023. The Corporation’s debt to capitalization ratio as defined in its debt covenants was 35.4% at March 31, 2023 and 36.1% at December 31, 2022. In March, the Corporation increased its quarterly dividend to $0.4375 per share commencing in the first quarter.

   Net cash provided by operating activities was $638 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared with $156 million of net cash used in operating activities in the first quarter of 2022. Net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities3 was $1,032 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared with $952 million in the prior-year quarter. During the first quarter of 2023, changes in operating assets and liabilities decreased cash flow from operating activities by $394 million. During the first quarter of 2022 changes in operating assets and liabilities decreased cash flow from operating activities by $1,108 million, reflecting payments of approximately $470 million for accrued Libyan income tax and royalties at December 31, 2021.

3. “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities” is a non-GAAP financial measure. The reconciliation to its nearest GAAP equivalent measure, and its definition, appear on pages 6 and 7, respectively.

Forward-looking Statements

   This release 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. Words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “intend,” “project,” “plan,” “predict,” “will,” “target” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which are not historical in nature. Our forward-looking statements may include, without limitation: our future financial and operational results; our business strategy; estimates of our crude oil and natural gas reserves and levels of production; benchmark prices of crude oil, NGL and natural gas and our associated realized price differentials; our projected budget and capital and exploratory expenditures; expected timing and completion of our development projects; information about sustainability goals and targets and planned social, safety and environmental polices, programs and initiatives; and future economic and market conditions in the oil and gas industry.

   Forward-looking statements are based on our current understanding, assessments, estimates and projections of relevant factors and reasonable assumptions about the future. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our current projections or expectations of future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The following important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements: fluctuations in market prices of crude oil, NGL and natural gas and competition in the oil and gas exploration and production industry; reduced demand for our products, including due to perceptions regarding the oil and gas industry, competing or alternative energy products and political conditions and events; potential failures or delays in increasing oil and gas reserves, including as a result of unsuccessful exploration activity, drilling risks and unforeseen reservoir conditions, and in achieving expected production levels; changes in tax, property, contract and other laws, regulations and governmental actions applicable to our business, including legislative and regulatory initiatives regarding environmental concerns, such as measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions and flaring, fracking bans as well as restrictions on oil and gas leases; operational changes and expenditures due to climate change and sustainability related initiatives; disruption or interruption of our operations due to catastrophic and other events, such as accidents, severe weather, geological events, shortages of skilled labor, cyber-attacks, public health measures, or climate change; the ability of our contractual counterparties to satisfy their obligations to us, including the operation of joint ventures under which we may not control and exposure to decommissioning liabilities for divested assets in the event the current or future owners are unable to perform; unexpected changes in technical requirements for constructing, modifying or operating exploration and production facilities and/or the inability to timely obtain or maintain necessary permits; availability and costs of employees and other personnel, drilling rigs, equipment, supplies and other required services; any limitations on our access to capital or increase in our cost of capital, including as a result of limitations on investment in oil and gas activities, rising interest rates or negative outcomes within commodity and financial markets; liability resulting from environmental obligations and litigation, including heightened risks associated with being a general partner of HESM; and other factors described in Item 1A—Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and any additional risks described in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

   As and when made, we believe that our forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, given these risks and uncertainties, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements since such statements speak only as of the date when made and there can be no assurance that such forward-looking statements will occur and actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement we make. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP financial measures

   The Corporation has used non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release. “Adjusted net income” presented in this release is defined as reported net income attributable to Hess Corporation excluding items identified as affecting comparability of earnings between periods. “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities” presented in this release is defined as Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities excluding changes in operating assets and liabilities. Management uses adjusted net income to evaluate the Corporation’s operating performance and believes that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this measure, which excludes certain items that management believes are not directly related to ongoing operations and are not indicative of future business trends and operations. Management believes that net cash provided by (used in) operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities demonstrates the Corporation’s ability to internally fund capital expenditures, pay dividends and service debt. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. A reconciliation of reported net income attributable to Hess Corporation (U.S. GAAP) to adjusted net income, and a reconciliation of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (U.S. GAAP) to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities are provided in the release.

Cautionary Note to Investors

   We use certain terms in this release relating to resources other than proved reserves, such as unproved reserves or resources. Investors are urged to consider closely the oil and gas disclosures in Hess Corporation’s Form 10-K, File No. 1-1204, available from Hess Corporation, 1185 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036 c/o Corporate Secretary and on our website at www.hess.com.
