EXECUTIVE COMMENT

Chris Kendall, Denbury’s President and CEO, commented, “2022 was an incredibly successful year for our Company. Starting with safety, we delivered another strong year, a testament to our highly skilled and focused employees. In addition, we executed well on each of our capital allocation priorities in 2022: to maintain our strong balance sheet; to enhance our oil and gas production base; to advance our leadership position in CCUS; and to return capital to shareholders from our free cash flow.”

“Our teams did an excellent job of executing on all fronts in 2022 with strong momentum I believe will carry into 2023. We are excitedly looking forward to the first production from the CCA CO2 flood in the second half of 2023. CCA represents the Company’s largest potential EOR resource, which we expect will significantly strengthen our production and cash flow for decades into the future with 100% carbon-negative blue oil. We also will continue the aggressive pursuit of new CCUS business opportunities, supported by new transportation and storage agreements. To buttress those efforts, we will consider additional investments in new carbon related ventures while expanding our network of dedicated CO2 storage sites. With two decades of CO2 expertise and our extensive infrastructure, I believe Denbury is uniquely positioned to execute on our mission to deliver carbon solutions that provide resources to meet today’s energy needs while working toward a sustainable future. I am tremendously proud of what we have built at Denbury and more excited about the transformational growth journey that lays ahead.”

FOURTH QUARTER 2022 FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS

Denbury’s fourth quarter 2022 total revenues and other income totaled $381 million, down from third quarter 2022 levels primarily as a result of lower oil prices. The Company’s fourth quarter 2022 average pre-hedge realized oil price was $82.54 per barrel (“Bbl”), down 11% from the third quarter of 2022. Denbury’s average realized oil price differential was nearly identical to benchmark West Texas Intermediate prices in the fourth quarter of 2022, but less favorable than the $0.82 positive differential the Company realized in the third quarter of 2022.

The Company’s sales volumes averaged 46,641 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“BOE/d”) during the fourth quarter of 2022, down modestly from third quarter 2022 levels primarily due to severe winter storm impacts. Fourth quarter volumes were impacted on average approximately 1,150 BOE/d due to production downtime associated with late December 2022 winter storms and approximately 500 BOE/d related to the temporary curtailment of production in certain areas of the CCA EOR flood where CO2 arrival has occurred in advance of the completion of CO2 recycle facilities.

Rocky Mountain region sales volumes were up 2% from the third quarter of the year, largely driven by the Wind River Basin volumes which established a quarterly high in the fourth quarter following 2022 development activities. Sales volumes in the Gulf Coast were down 3%, primarily related to the winter storm impacts and an inventory build at Tinsley. Oil represented 97% of the Company’s fourth quarter 2022 volumes, with 29% of the Company’s oil produced through the injection of industrial-sourced CO2, resulting in carbon-negative blue oil.

CO2 sales and transportation fee revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 was higher than historical periods; however, lower than the third quarter of the year, due primarily to a short-term agreement that expired during the fourth quarter 2022.

Lease operating expense in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $126 million, or $29.31 per BOE. The 6% decrease on a per BOE basis from the third quarter 2022 was primarily related to lower power and fuel costs, which were benefitted by lower natural gas prices, along with lower workover expenses.

General and administrative expenses were $23 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, slightly higher than in the third quarter of the year, driven primarily by personnel costs and a performance-based adjustment to the Company’s annual bonus program. Depletion, depreciation, and amortization expense was $43 million during the fourth quarter of 2022, or $10.02 per BOE.

Commodity derivatives expense totaled $38 million in the final quarter of 2022, comprised primarily of cash payments on hedges that settled in the quarter. Other expense of $5 million for the quarter included CCUS costs of approximately $3 million.

The Company’s fourth quarter 2022 effective income tax rate was approximately 17%, lower than the Company’s 25% statutory rate due to a $12 million valuation allowance released during the fourth quarter of 2022. Current taxes provided a benefit of $1 million in the period, primarily resulting from lower than projected income due to oil price changes versus forecast, reducing full year 2022 current taxes to 7% of total income tax expense.


CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Fourth quarter 2022 capital expenditures, excluding capitalized interest, totaled $153 million, with 79% related to oil & gas development and 21% related to CCUS business activities. During the fourth quarter, the Company spent $51 million on the CCA EOR project, primarily focused on the construction of four planned CO2 recycle facilities, well conversions, and drilling the Interlake Pennel CO2 pilot. The CCA project remains on plan to commence EOR production in the second half of 2023. Non-CCA oil & gas development capital was deployed principally for horizontal drilling activity at Webster, drilling of

Mission Canyon and Charles wells in the Cedar Creek Anticline, and the Oyster Bayou A2 phase 2 development.

CCUS capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $33 million and included, among other things, lease acquisitions of two planned CO2 sequestration sites (one in Louisiana and one in Mississippi), costs associated with the preparation for the Company’s initial stratigraphic test well, and acquiring 3-D seismic data over multiple potential CO2 sequestration sites. During the fourth quarter, the Company submitted its initial Class VI permit applications for 3 wells associated with its Orion site located in Alabama.

2022 PROVED RESERVES

The Company’s total estimated proved oil and natural gas reserves as of December 31, 2022, were 202 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBOE), consisting of 197 million barrels of crude oil and 30 billion cubic feet of natural gas. Proved reserve revisions during 2022 were 28 MMBOE, primarily resulting from higher commodity prices utilized in determining economic reserves and, to a lesser degree, positive field performance revisions. As of the end of 2022, 98% of proved reserves were proved developed.

Year-end 2022 estimated proved reserves, the standardized measure of future net cash flows, and the pre-tax discounted net present value of Denbury’s proved reserves, using a 10% per annum discount rate (“PV-10 Value”)(1), were computed using first-day-of-the-month 12-month average prices of $93.67 per Bbl for oil (based on NYMEX prices) and $6.36 per million British thermal unit (“MMBtu”) for natural gas (based on Henry Hub cash prices), adjusted for prices received at the field. Comparative prices for 2021 were $66.56 per Bbl of oil and $3.60 per MMBtu for natural gas, adjusted for prices received at the field. The tax-effected standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows (a GAAP measure) at year-end 2022 was nearly $3.5 billion. The PV-10 Value(1) of Denbury’s proved reserves (a non-GAAP measure) was nearly $4.5 billion at December 31, 2022, compared to $2.7 billion at December 31, 2021. These values are reconciled in the last two tables at the end of this release.

Denbury’s estimated proved CO2 reserves at year-end 2022 were 4.8 trillion cubic feet (“Tcf”), including 3.8 Tcf at Jackson Dome in Mississippi (on a gross basis) and 1.0 Tcf at LaBarge Field in Wyoming (overriding royalty interest).

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Reconciliation of net income (GAAP measure) to adjusted net income (non-GAAP measure)

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure provided as a supplement to present an alternative net income measure which excludes expense and income items (and their related tax effects) not directly related to the Company’s ongoing operations. Management believes that adjusted net income may be helpful to investors by eliminating the impact of noncash and/or special items not indicative of the Company’s performance from period to period, and is widely used by the investment community, while also being used by management, in evaluating the comparability of the Company’s ongoing operational results and trends. Adjusted net income should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, net income or any other measure reported in accordance with GAAP, but rather to provide additional information useful in evaluating the Company’s operational trends and performance.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Reconciliation of net income (GAAP measure) to Adjusted EBITDAX (non-GAAP measure)

Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-GAAP financial measure which management uses and is calculated based upon (but not identical to) a financial covenant related to “Consolidated EBITDAX” in the Company’s senior secured bank credit facility, which excludes certain items that are included in net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Items excluded include interest, income taxes, depletion, depreciation, and amortization, and items that the Company believes affect the comparability of operating results such as items whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated or are non-recurring. Management believes Adjusted EBITDAX may be helpful to investors in order to assess the Company’s operating performance as compared to that of other companies in its industry, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical costs basis. It is also commonly used by third parties to assess leverage and the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, net income (loss), cash flows from operations, or any other measure reported in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDAX, EBITDAX, or EBITDA in the same manner.  The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Reconciliation of cash flows from operations (GAAP measure) to adjusted cash flows from operations (non-GAAP measure) and free cash flow (non-GAAP measure)

Adjusted cash flows from operations is a non-GAAP measure that represents cash flows provided by operations before changes in assets and liabilities, as summarized from the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Adjusted cash flows from operations measures the cash flows earned or incurred from operating activities without regard to the collection or payment of associated receivables or payables. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that represents adjusted cash flows from operations less reorganization items settled in cash, interest treated as debt reduction, development capital expenditures and capitalized interest, but before acquisitions. Management believes that it is important to consider these additional measures, along with cash flows from operations, as it believes the non-GAAP measures can often be a better way to discuss changes in operating trends in its business caused by changes in sales volumes, prices, operating costs and related factors, without regard to whether the earned or incurred item was collected or paid during that period. Adjusted cash flows from operations and free cash flow are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to cash flows from operations, investing, or financing activities, nor as a liquidity measure or indicator of cash flows.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE (UNAUDITED)

Reconciliation of the standardized measure of discounted estimated future net cash flows after income taxes (GAAP measure) to PV-10 Value (non-GAAP measure)

PV-10 Value is a non-GAAP measure and is different from the Standardized Measure in that PV-10 Value is a pre-tax number and the Standardized Measure is an after-tax number.  Denbury’s 2022 and 2021 year-end estimated proved oil and natural gas reserves and proved CO2 reserves quantities were prepared by the independent reservoir engineering firm of DeGolyer and MacNaughton. The information used to calculate PV-10 Value is derived directly from data determined in accordance with FASC Topic 932.  Management believes PV-10 Value is a useful supplemental disclosure to the Standardized Measure because the Standardized Measure can be impacted by a company’s unique tax situation, and it is not practical to calculate the Standardized Measure on a property-by-property basis.  Because of this, PV-10 Value is a widely used measure within the industry and is commonly used by securities analysts, banks and credit rating agencies to evaluate the estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves on a comparative basis across companies or specific properties.  PV-10 Value is commonly used by management and others in the industry to evaluate properties that are bought and sold, to assess the potential return on investment in the Company’s oil and natural gas properties, and to perform impairment testing of oil and natural gas properties. PV-10 Value is not a measure of financial or operating performance under GAAP, nor should it be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Standardized Measure.  PV-10 Value and the Standardized Measure do not purport to represent the fair value of the Company’s oil and natural gas reserves.

Denbury Announces Full Year 2023 Outlook, Including Capital Plan and Production Guidance

Accelerating capital expenditures focused on executing CCUS strategy

PLANO, Texas – February 23, 2023 – Denbury Inc. (NYSE: DEN) (“Denbury” or “the Company”) today announced its 2023 capital budget range for oil and natural gas development of $350 million to $370 million, and for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (“CCUS”) capital expenditures of $140 million to $160 million. At the combined midpoint of $510 million (excluding capitalized interest and equity investments), planned capital expenditures are up 19% from 2022, with the increase driven entirely by the CCUS business as the Company plans to enhance its spending on the development of dedicated CO2 storage sites and prepare for expansion of its CO2 pipeline infrastructure.

Chris Kendall, Denbury’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our 2023 capital program furthers our strategy to build a world-class CCUS network, unparalleled both in scale and reliability, that delivers transformational growth for our shareholders. In the oil & gas business, we are continuing to invest in strong return projects, and we eagerly await expected production from Phase 1 of the CCA CO2 flood in the second half of the year. CCA is a very strategic project for Denbury as we expect it to increase the scale of our carbon-negative oil operations, deliver meaningful production growth next year, and provide the foundation for sustainable production and cash flows for many years to come. In addition, we are significantly ramping our CCUS investments to expand our infrastructure network and our dedicated CO2 storage portfolio as we target providing the industry’s most efficient and reliable CO2 takeaway service.”

OIL AND GAS CAPITAL TARGETING FIRST CCA EOR RESPONSE IN 2H 2023

Oil and gas capital expenditures of $360 million at the midpoint of the Company’s annual range for 2023 are comprised of $145 million for continuation of the Cedar Creek Anticline (“CCA”) enhanced oil recovery (“EOR”) development (including $15 million for capitalized pre-production CO2) and $215 million for other tertiary and non-tertiary oil-focused development projects, capitalized internal costs and CO2 sources.
line.jpg

Denbury Inc.    1





2023 CCA capital activities include the construction of the initial four CO2 recycle facilities, conversion of existing production wells to handle CO2 arrival and associated oil response, as well as continuing installation of the phase 1 infield flowline network. In addition, to support Phase 2 CCA development, the Company intends to commission a CO2 injection pilot in the Pennel field targeting the Interlake formation, including the construction of a CO2 recycle facility at Pennel.

Other oil and gas development projects include expansions of existing EOR recovery projects in the Gulf Coast region, such as targeting new horizons at Eucutta and Phase 2 of the Rodessa development at Soso in Mississippi, as well as an infill drilling program at Delhi in Louisiana and conventional horizontal drilling programs at both Conroe and Webster in Texas. In the Rocky Mountain region, Denbury intends to drill an additional Mission Canyon horizontal in the Cabin Creek area of CCA, expand CO2 injection at Grieve, develop a new EOR phase in the Salt Creek field, and increase CO2 injection into the Beaver Creek E/F development.

Excluded from the Company’s planned development capital expenditures, Denbury anticipates spending approximately $36 million on its proactive asset retirement program in 2023, which is comparable to the amount spent in 2022.

Based on the Company’s projections as further detailed in its 2023 guidance, including estimated capital, costs and production, Denbury anticipates its 2023 operating cash flows, excluding working capital changes, will meet or exceed its combined capital expenditures and planned asset retirement obligation activities assuming average West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) oil prices of approximately $75 per barrel in 2023.

CCUS CAPITAL EXPENDITURES EXPANDING FIRST-MOVER ADVANTAGE

Denbury’s 2023 CCUS development plan to spend $150 million at the midpoint of the range is up $85 million from 2022. 2023 capital expenditures will be focused on expanding the Company’s CO2 transportation and dedicated storage network by adding strategically-located sequestration sites to its portfolio, expanding existing sequestration sites with nearby leasing, and drilling a number of stratigraphic test wells. In addition, Denbury expects to acquire additional rights of way and long-lead
line.jpg

Denbury Inc.    2




items for CO2 pipeline connections to sequestration sites and industrial customers. Excluded from the capital budget amount are equity investments that Denbury may make from time to time to increase the scale of its CCUS operations.

2023 PRODUCTION VOLUMES UP FROM 2022

Oil and natural gas sales volumes for 2023 are anticipated to average between 46,000 and 49,000 barrels of oil equivalent (“BOE”) per day, with 97% of the volumes expected to be oil. The midpoint of the 2023 production range is up approximately 1.5% from 2022, primarily due to the anticipated commencement of production from the CCA EOR development in the second half of 2023.

COST OUTLOOK

Lease operating expense (“LOE”) is estimated to range between $29 and $31 per BOE during 2023, slightly higher than in 2022 primarily due to higher expected CO2 costs. LOE per BOE in 2023 will be impacted by a CO2 pricing change under a legacy purchase agreement which increases due to the expiration of prior 45Q incentives, as well as by CO2 costs at the CCA EOR flood, as CO2 costs beginning with first production response are treated as LOE rather than capitalized pre-production.

G&A costs are expected to range between $90 and $105 million for 2023, higher than 2022 due to increasing employee headcount, primarily as the Company expands its CCUS business, and the cumulative expense for long-term equity incentive awards, with 2023 being the third full year of expense following emergence.

Depletion, depreciation, and amortization (“DD&A”) is expected to average between $9.75 and $10.25 per BOE in 2023, with the largest driver of the increase from 2022 being the expected impact from booking initial reserves at CCA EOR during 2023, which is estimated to be at a higher cost per barrel than the Company’s current DD&A rate.

Additional detailed guidance is included in the Company’s supplemental materials for our 2023 Outlook which will be posted to the Denbury website before market open today.
