Management Commentary
Joseph Wm. Foran, Matador’s Founder, Chairman and CEO,
commented, “Matador’s second quarter of 2024 was one of the most
important quarters in the company’s history. Matador not only
achieved record production results and substantial cost savings but
also entered into an agreement to complete our largest acquisition
to date – the acquisition of Ameredev for $1.905 billion (subject
to customary closing adjustments), which is expected to close late
in the third quarter of 2024. When added to our usual
brick-by-brick acquisition efforts, the Ameredev acquisition is
expected to increase Matador’s acreage position in the core of the
northern Delaware Basin to 191,900 net acres (see Slide A).
We also anticipate that the Ameredev acquisition (once closed) will
have the effect of adding significantly to our currently existing
10 to 15 years or more of high-quality inventory (see Slide
B), continue our history of profitable and consistent growth at
a measured pace (see Slide C) and increase our total proved
reserves to over 600 million barrels of oil and natural gas
equivalent (‘BOE’) (see Slide D). We are further encouraged
that Matador’s stock has been the top performer among our peer
group for the last month-and-a-half following the announcement of
the proposed Ameredev acquisition (see Slide E). Given these
developments, our Board, executive team and staff are increasingly
excited about the outlook for the remainder of 2024 and beyond, as
we continue to work together to build the value of Matador for our
shareholders, staff, vendors, stakeholders and other friends from
its original capitalization of $270,000 to its present market
capitalization of approximately $8 billion.
Pending Ameredev
Acquisition
“We believe Matador’s recent acquisitions of various oil and
natural gas properties are unique and value-creating opportunities
as Matador continues to build its asset base in the northern
Delaware Basin. Ameredev, for example, comes with 33,500 net acres
of high-quality rock, strong existing production expected to
average 25,500 BOE per day in the third quarter of 2024, over 117
million BOE of reserves, high-quality inventory with 371 net
locations and a complimentary investment in a midstream business
with an approximate 19% equity interest in Piñon Midstream (see
Slide F). The equity and debt securities offerings we
completed earlier this year, together with the exceptional support
of our bank group led by PNC Bank, have provided us with the
financial flexibility and strength to acquire these and other
high-quality assets. In fact, our careful management of the balance
sheet has allowed us to end the second quarter of 2024 with only
$95 million outstanding on our current $1.5 billion revolving
credit agreement. We fully repaid the remaining outstanding balance
in July 2024, and as of July 23, 2024 have no debt outstanding
under our revolving credit agreement with our bank group.
“Matador expects Ameredev to continue operating its one drilling
rig on its acreage prior to closing. Matador added a ninth drilling
rig late in the second quarter of 2024 in order to help facilitate
a smooth transition upon closing of the Ameredev acquisition. Until
then, Matador’s ninth drilling rig will work on other Matador
properties, and we will rely on Ameredev to operate its current
drilling rig to drill its planned wells until closing. We are
pleased that even though Matador added a ninth drilling rig late in
the second quarter of 2024, we still expect Matador’s full-year
2024 drilling, completing and equipping (‘D/C/E’) capital
expenditures to be between the midpoint and high end of our
previously expected and announced range of $1.10 to $1.30
billion.
“Similar to the acquisition of Advance in 2023, our operations
team expects to implement operational efficiencies such as
‘simul-frac’ and ‘trimul-frac’ completion operations, dual fuel
technologies and other operational efficiencies on the Ameredev
properties after closing. We anticipate providing additional detail
regarding our expectations and plans for the remainder of 2024 on a
combined basis with the Ameredev properties after the acquisition
has closed. To this point, we have greatly appreciated the
professional and continuous work of the Ameredev staff in
administering and operating these properties until the anticipated
closing of the acquisition, which is expected to occur late in the
third quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions,
including regulatory approval.
Record Production and Wells Turned to
Sales
“During the second quarter of 2024, Matador achieved record
average total production of 160,305 BOE per day, which was 2%
better than our expectation of an average of 157,250 BOE per day
for the quarter. Matador’s record average oil production of 95,488
barrels of oil per day during the second quarter of 2024 was 3%
better than our expected average of 93,000 barrels of oil per day
for the quarter. The record production in the second quarter of
2024 does not include any production associated with the proposed
Ameredev acquisition, as no production from Ameredev will be
included in Matador’s results until after the expected closing of
the acquisition late in the third quarter of 2024, subject to
customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval.
Matador’s record production in the second quarter of 2024 was due
in part to the record 47 gross (38.6 net) operated horizontal wells
turned to sales during the second quarter of 2024, which was the
most in Matador’s history. We successfully delivered strong well
results throughout our asset areas in the northern Delaware Basin,
including the 21 gross (19 net) Dagger Lake South wells in our
Antelope Ridge asset area that were acquired as part of the Advance
acquisition last year (see Slide G). These wells have
exceeded our expectations with 24-hour initial production test
results averaging 1,728 BOE per day (83% oil). We are pleased with
the teamwork of our production and midstream teams that worked
together to provide flow assurance by using the Pronto-to-San Mateo
natural gas connector pipeline installed in the first quarter of
this year. This connector allowed the Dagger Lake South wells and
Margarita wells acquired in the Advance acquisition to produce
without any constraints during the second quarter of 2024.
Continued Operational Efficiencies and
Teamwork
“In addition to record production performance, Matador also
achieved lower-than-expected costs during the second quarter of
2024. D/C/E capital expenditures during the second quarter of 2024
were $314.5 million, which was $25.5 million, or 8%, better than
our expectation of $340 million for the quarter. Approximately $10
million of this capital expenditure savings represent operational
efficiencies and cost savings while the remaining decrease is due
to timing of operations. In addition, our operations team set 20
drilling records during the second quarter of 2024 that saved an
estimated $6 million. We are pleased with the continued excellent
execution by the operations team that has now set a total of almost
300 drilling records with an estimated savings of approximately $50
million since the inception of our 24-hour MaxCom Operations Center
in 2018 (see Slide H).
“One example of the innovation and operational efficiencies by
Matador’s teams is the drilling of U-Turn wells. We drilled our
first two U-Turn wells in 2023 in our Wolf asset area. These two
wells continue to exceed our expectations and are producing similar
to traditional two-mile lateral wells but with better per-foot
costs than typical one-mile wells. We expect to turn to sales five
additional U-Turn wells during the second half of 2024 with
drilling savings exceeding $3 million per U-Turn well, or $15
million in the aggregate, as compared to drilling ten one-mile
lateral length wells (see Slide I). During the second
quarter of 2024, we drilled and cased the first and second of these
five additional U-Turn wells. Two additional U-Turn wells were
being drilled as of June 30, 2024 and our fifth U-Turn well for
2024 was spud in early July. We are excited to continue drilling
and completing U-Turn wells throughout our northern Delaware
position as appropriate opportunities present themselves.
“Matador also successfully performed its first ‘trimul-frac’
completion during the second quarter of 2024. We estimate that
‘trimul-frac’ completions save approximately $350,000 per well as
compared to conventional ‘zipper-frac’ operations. For the
remainder of 2024, Matador expects to complete its second
‘trimul-frac’ completion next month and has identified its first
‘remote trimul-frac’ test later in the third quarter of 2024.
Matador’s improved operational efficiencies, together with our
expectation of an increasingly competitive oilfield services market
in the second half of 2024, have enabled us to revise our full-year
2024 expected drilling and completion costs down to $960 per
completed lateral foot, which is an 11% decrease as compared to
full-year 2023 drilling and completion costs of $1,075 per
completed lateral foot.
40th Annual Meeting and Looking
Ahead
“Matador held its 40th Annual Meeting of Shareholders on June
13, 2024. We were pleased to see so many of you there and
appreciate your support as each of the proposals passed with nearly
90% support or better. Even though we are one of the top 10 oil and
natural gas producers in New Mexico with a current market
capitalization of approximately $8 billion, we still remember our
humble beginnings over 40 years ago when Matador was founded with
$270,000 from family and friends. Many of these original
shareholders or their families remain shareholders today. We are
grateful for their continued support as well as the support and
friendship of all of our shareholders over these many years. The
Board, management team and I would also like to especially thank
our staff, shareholders, banks, bondholders and other friends,
including our long-time vendors, that have helped us develop
Matador into its present size and competence. We anticipate a
strong finish to 2024 as we look forward to the various drilling
and acquisition opportunities in front of us in 2025. Going forward
under these circumstances, we like our chances to meet these
targets.”

Operational and Financial Update
Second Quarter 2024
Record Oil, Natural Gas and Total Oil and
Natural Gas Equivalent Production
Matador’s total oil and natural gas production averaged 160,305
BOE per day in the second quarter of 2024, which was a 7%
sequential production increase from an average of 149,760 BOE per
day in the first quarter of 2024 and a 23% year-over-year increase
from an average of 130,683 BOE per day in the second quarter of
2023. Matador’s year-over-year increase in total average production
is due not only to the Advance acquisition that closed in April
2023 but also to increased production from new wells drilled by
Matador on its existing assets and undeveloped acreage. In fact,
Matador’s total oil and natural gas production during the second
quarter of 2024 exceeded Matador’s guidance expectations by 2% and
grew sequentially by 7%. On a year-to-year basis, Matador grew its
total oil and natural gas production by 23% as summarized in the
table below.

Second Quarter 2024 Operating
Expenses
Matador’s lease operating expenses (“LOE”) decreased 3%
sequentially from $5.60 per BOE in the first quarter of 2024 to
$5.42 per BOE in the second quarter of 2024. This decrease is due
in part to increased production volumes in the second quarter of
2024, partially offset by increased compression and equipment
rental expenses. The second quarter 2024 LOE of $5.42 per BOE was
consistent with Matador’s expected full-year 2024 LOE range of
$5.25 to $5.75 per BOE.
Matador’s general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses
decreased 12% sequentially from $2.18 per BOE in the first quarter
of 2024 to $1.91 per BOE in the second quarter of 2024, which was a
record low for Matador. This decrease is due in part to increased
production volumes and a decrease in the value of certain employee
stock awards that are settled in cash, which are measured at each
quarterly reporting period. The value of these cash-settled stock
awards decreased due to the 11% decrease in Matador’s share price
from $66.77 at the end of the first quarter of 2024 to $59.60 at
the end of the second quarter of 2024. Matador expects full-year
2024 G&A expenses to be between the midpoint and the low end of
its previous expected and announced range of $2.00 to $2.50 per
BOE.
Second Quarter 2024 Capital
Expenditures
Matador’s D/C/E capital expenditures of $314.5 million for the
second quarter of 2024 were approximately $25 million lower than
expected, of which approximately $10 million represents realized
D/C/E capital expenditure cost savings. Midstream capital
expenditures of $45.3 million for the second quarter of 2024 were
below Matador’s expectations of $60 million in total midstream
capital expenditures for the quarter, as approximately $15 million
in capital expenditures was deferred due to the timing of Pronto’s
midstream projects.

Third Quarter 2024 Estimated Wells
Turned to Sales
At July 23, 2024, Matador expects to turn to sales 32 gross
(26.5 net) operated horizontal wells in the Delaware Basin during
the third quarter of 2024, consisting of seven gross (7.0 net)
wells in the Antelope Ridge asset area, ten gross (8.0 net) wells
in the Arrowhead asset area, four gross (4.0 net) wells in the
Ranger asset area and 11 gross (7.5 net) wells in the Rustler
Breaks asset area.
Third Quarter 2024 Estimated Capital
Expenditures
Matador is currently operating nine drilling rigs in the
Delaware Basin and expects to operate nine drilling rigs for the
remainder of 2024. Matador expects that this ninth drilling rig
will add an incremental four gross (3.9 net) operated wells turned
to sales in late December 2024, which is expected to add
approximately 40,000 BOE to 2024 forecasted production. At July 23,
2024, Matador expects D/C/E capital expenditures for the third
quarter of 2024 will be approximately $330 to $370 million, which
is an 11% increase as compared to $314.5 million for the second
quarter of 2024. Matador expects full-year 2024 D/C/E capital
expenditures to be between the midpoint and the high end of its
previous expected range of $1.10 to $1.30 billion. Matador
estimates its proportionate share of midstream capital expenditures
to be approximately $45 to $65 million in the third quarter of
2024, which is a 21% increase as compared to $45.3 million in the
second quarter of 2024, primarily due to the timing of Pronto’s
2024 midstream projects. These capital expenditure estimates for
the third quarter of 2024 do not include capital expenditures
associated with the Ameredev properties.
Third Quarter 2024 Estimated Cash
Taxes
Matador continues to expect to make cash tax payments of
approximately 5 to 10% of pre-tax book net income for the year
ended December 31, 2024. The Company’s cash tax payments will be
dependent upon a variety of factors that will impact taxable income
that cannot be calculated at this time, including commodity prices,
weather, allowable tax deductions and any state or federal
legislative changes thereon, the Ameredev transaction and other
acquisitions, activity of offset operators and pipeline
restrictions as well as any deductions or tax credits generated and
earned that would offset tax liabilities in 2024.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measure of
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP
financial measure that is used by management and external users of
the Company’s consolidated financial statements, such as securities
analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. “GAAP” means
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of
America. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA helps it evaluate its
operating performance and compare its results of operations from
period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital
structure. The Company defines, on a consolidated basis and for San
Mateo, Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income
taxes, depletion, depreciation and amortization, accretion of asset
retirement obligations, property impairments, unrealized derivative
gains and losses, non-recurring transaction costs for certain
acquisitions, certain other non-cash items and non-cash stock-based
compensation expense and net gain or loss on asset sales and
impairment. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income or net
cash provided by operating activities as determined by GAAP. All
references to Matador’s Adjusted EBITDA are those values
attributable to Matador Resources Company shareholders after giving
effect to Adjusted EBITDA attributable to third-party
non-controlling interests, including in San Mateo.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or
more meaningful than, net income or net cash provided by operating
activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator
of the Company’s operating performance or liquidity. Certain items
excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components of
understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such
as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure. Adjusted EBITDA
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another
company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in
the same manner. The following table presents the calculation of
Adjusted EBITDA and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the
GAAP financial measures of net income and net cash provided by
operating activities, respectively, that are of a historical
nature. Where references are pro forma, forward-looking,
preliminary or prospective in nature, and not based on historical
fact, the table does not provide a reconciliation. The Company
could not provide such reconciliation without undue hardship
because such Adjusted EBITDA numbers are estimations,
approximations and/or ranges. In addition, it would be difficult
for the Company to present a detailed reconciliation on account of
many unknown variables for the reconciling items, including future
income taxes, full-cost ceiling impairments, unrealized gains or
losses on derivatives and gains or losses on asset sales and
impairment. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address
the probable significance of the unavailable information, which
could be material to future results.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings
Per Diluted Common Share
This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of
adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted common share.
These non-GAAP items are measured as net income attributable to
Matador Resources Company shareholders, adjusted for dollar and per
share impact of certain items, including unrealized gains or losses
on derivatives, the impact of full cost-ceiling impairment charges,
if any, and non-recurring transaction costs for certain
acquisitions or other non-recurring income or expense items, along
with the related tax effect for all periods. This non-GAAP
financial information is provided as additional information for
investors and is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP
financial measures. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures
may be different than similar measures used by other companies. The
Company believes the presentation of adjusted net income and
adjusted earnings per diluted common share provides useful
information to investors, as it provides them an additional
relevant comparison of the Company’s performance across periods and
to the performance of the Company’s peers. In addition, these
non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments for items of income
and expense that are often excluded by securities analysts and
other users of the Company’s financial statements in evaluating the
Company’s performance. The table below reconciles adjusted net
income and adjusted earnings per diluted common share to their most
directly comparable GAAP measure of net income attributable to
Matador Resources Company shareholders.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow
This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measure of
adjusted free cash flow. This non-GAAP item is measured, on a
consolidated basis for the Company and for San Mateo, as net cash
provided by operating activities, adjusted for changes in working
capital and cash performance incentives that are not included as
operating cash flows, less cash flows used for capital
expenditures, adjusted for changes in capital accruals. On a
consolidated basis, these numbers are also adjusted for the cash
flows related to non-controlling interest in subsidiaries that
represent cash flows not attributable to Matador shareholders.
Adjusted free cash flow should not be considered an alternative to,
or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities
as determined in accordance with GAAP or an indicator of the
Company’s liquidity. Adjusted free cash flow is used by the
Company, securities analysts and investors as an indicator of the
Company’s ability to manage its operating cash flow, internally
fund its D/C/E capital expenditures, pay dividends and service or
incur additional debt, without regard to the timing of settlement
of either operating assets and liabilities or accounts payable
related to capital expenditures. Additionally, this non-GAAP
financial measure may be different than similar measures used by
other companies. The Company believes the presentation of adjusted
free cash flow provides useful information to investors, as it
provides them an additional relevant comparison of the Company’s
performance, sources and uses of capital associated with its
operations across periods and to the performance of the Company’s
peers. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure reflects
adjustments for items of cash flows that are often excluded by
securities analysts and other users of the Company’s financial
statements in evaluating the Company’s cash spend.
The table below reconciles adjusted free cash flow to its most
directly comparable GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating
activities. All references to Matador’s adjusted free cash flow are
those values attributable to Matador shareholders after giving
effect to adjusted free cash flow attributable to third-party
non-controlling interests, including in San Mateo.
