Vitesse Energy, Inc. (NYSE: VTS) (“we,” “our,” “Vitesse,” or “the Company”) today announced the Company’s 2022 results and declared a quarterly cash dividend.

Unless otherwise stated herein, the financial and operating results presented in this press release are that of Vitesse Energy, LLC (“Vitesse Energy”), Vitesse’s predecessor, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and do not include the results of operations of Vitesse Oil, LLC (“VO”), which was acquired on January 13, 2023. On November 30, 2022, Vitesse Energy changed its fiscal year end for 2022 to December 31 from November 30. Financial and operating results have been recast for the year ended December 31, 2021. See “Historical Financial Information” included elsewhere in this release.

(1) Non-GAAP financial measure; see reconciliation schedules at the end of this release

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

Bob Gerrity, Vitesse’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “As an independent, publicly traded company we will continue to focus on returning capital to stockholders through our non-operated financial ownership in producing oil and gas wells and the conversion of our deep inventory of highly economic undeveloped drilling locations.”

STOCKHOLDER RETURNS

Vitesse’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend for Vitesse’s common stock of $0.50 per share for stockholders of record as of March 15, 2023, which will be paid on March 31, 2023. Subject to board approval and applicable law, Vitesse currently intends to pay quarterly dividends of $0.50 per share.

In addition, Vitesse’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $60 million of the Company’s common stock. As the Company continues to focus on its goal of maximizing total shareholder return, the Board of Directors along with the management team believe that a share repurchase program is complementary to the dividend and is a tax efficient means to further improve shareholder return.

Under the stock repurchase program, Vitesse may repurchase shares of its common stock from time to time in open market transactions or such other means as will comply with applicable rules, regulations and contractual limitations. The Board of Directors may limit or terminate the stock repurchase program at any time without prior notice. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares of common stock, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon market conditions and other considerations as may be considered in the Company’s sole discretion.

FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS

Total revenue for 2022 was $300.1 million, an increase of 55% over 2021. Net income was $118.9 million during 2022, an increase of 682% over 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 was $167.6 million, an increase of 58% over 2021. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Oil and gas production during 2022 averaged 10,376 Boe per day, an increase of 4% from 2021. Oil represented 68% of production and 81% of total revenue in 2022.

During 2022, Vitesse’s realized oil and natural gas prices before hedging were $94.16 per Bbl and $7.92 per Mcf, respectively. Vitesse hedges a portion of its oil and natural gas production to reduce commodity price volatility on its financial results. In 2022, the Company’s realized oil price with hedging was only $76.09 per Bbl and its realized natural gas price was $7.84 per Mcf.

Production expenses in 2022, including gathering and transportation, were $49.3 million, or $13.02 per Boe, an increase of 6% on a per unit basis compared to 2021. The higher production expense was primarily related to increased workover activity and inflationary pressure on service costs.

General and administrative (“G&A”) costs for 2022 totaled $19.8 million, or $5.24 per Boe, which included $7.9 million of costs related to the Spin-Off. Excluding these costs related to the Spin-Off, G&A would have been $3.15 per Boe, an increase of 6% on a per unit basis compared to 2021.

RESERVES

Total proved reserves at December 31, 2022 increased 3% from 2021 to 43.8 million Boe (62% proved developed) with a Standardized Measure and PV-10 value of $1.18 billion (67% proved developed) at oil and natural gas prices determined in accordance with the SEC’s rules regarding reserve reporting currently in effect, including the use of an average price equal to the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first day of the month prices for each of the preceding 12 months as adjusted for location and quality differentials, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based on future conditions (“SEC Pricing”). The Standardized Measure and PV-10 value were equivalent as future income taxes for Vitesse as of December 31, 2022 were zero due to Vitesse Energy’s tax status as a pass-through entity.

(1)

Oil and natural gas reserve quantities and related discounted future net cash flows are valued as of December 31, 2022 based on average prices of $94.14 per barrel of oil and $6.36 per MMBtu of natural gas. Under SEC guidelines, these prices represent the average prices per barrel of oil and per MMBtu of natural gas at the beginning of each month in the twelve-month period prior to the end of the reporting period.

(2)

MBoe are computed based on a conversion ratio of one Boe for each barrel of oil and one Boe for every 6 Mcf of natural gas.

(3)

PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not include the effects of income taxes on future net revenues, and are not intended to represent fair market value of our oil and natural gas properties. For a definition of and reconciliation of PV-10 to its nearest GAAP financial measure, see the reconciliation schedules at the end of this release.

Vitesse’s PV-10 and proved reserves at year-end 2022 do not include the recently closed VO acquisition, which had a year-end PV-10 value of $65.6 million at SEC Pricing and proved reserves of 2.1 million Boe. Vitesse’s year-end 2022 pro forma PV-10 and proved reserves, giving effect to the acquisition of VO, were $1.25 billion and 45.9 million Boe, respectively. The reserves are calculated under SEC guidelines relating to both commodity price assumptions and a maximum five-year drill schedule. The SEC Pricing used as of December 31, 2022 was $94.14 per barrel of oil and $6.36 per MMBtu of natural gas. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below regarding PV-10 value.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

As of December 31, 2022, Vitesse had $10.0 million in cash and $48.0 million of borrowings outstanding on its revolving credit facility. Vitesse had total liquidity of $132 million as of December 31, 2022, consisting of cash and committed borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility.

Upon completion of the Spin-Off, Vitesse entered into a new revolving credit facility, which amended and restated the Vitesse Energy’s prior credit facility. Borrowings under the new revolving credit facility were $53.0 million as of the completion of the Spin-Off. While the new revolving credit facility has elected commitments of $170 million, the borrowing base is $265 million.

During 2022, Vitesse spent $56.0 million on development capital expenditures and $28.5 million on acquisitions of oil and gas properties.

2023 ANNUAL GUIDANCE

Vitesse anticipates production on a two-stream basis to be in the range of 10,800-11,800 Boe per day in 2023, an increase of approximately 9% at the midpoint from 2022 levels. Vitesse expects total capital spending in the range of $60 - $80 million for 2023.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and future results that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this release regarding Vitesse’s financial position, operating and financial performance, development pace and drilling inventory, business strategy, dividend plans and practices, guidance, Vitesse’s share repurchase program, plans and objectives of management for future operations, and industry conditions are forward-looking statements. When used in this release, forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by terms or phrases such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “target,” “could,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “goal,” “will,” “should,” “may” or other words and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Items contemplating or making assumptions about actual or potential future production and sales, market size, collaborations, and trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond Vitesse’s control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the following: changes in oil and natural gas prices; the pace of drilling and completions activity on Vitesse’s properties; Vitesse’s ability to acquire additional development opportunities; potential acquisition transactions; integration and benefits of property acquisitions, or the effects of such acquisitions on Vitesse’s cash position and levels of indebtedness; changes in Vitesse’s reserves estimates or the value thereof; disruptions to Vitesse’s business due to acquisitions and other significant transactions; infrastructure constraints and related factors affecting Vitesse’s properties; cost inflation or supply chain disruption; ongoing legal disputes over and potential shutdown of the Dakota Access Pipeline; the COVID-19 pandemic and its related economic repercussions and effect on the oil and natural gas industry; the impact of general economic or industry conditions, nationally and/or in the communities in which Vitesse conducts business; changes in the interest rate environment, legislation or regulatory requirements; conditions of the securities markets; Vitesse’s ability to raise or access capital; cyber-related risks; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; and financial or political instability, health-related epidemics, acts of war (including the armed conflict in Ukraine) or terrorism, and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting Vitesse’s operations, products and prices. Additional information concerning potential factors that could affect future results is included in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and other sections of Vitesse’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as updated from time to time in amendments and subsequent reports filed with the SEC, which describe factors that could cause Vitesse’s actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward looking statements.

Vitesse has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and assumptions about future events. While management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Vitesse’s control. Vitesse does not undertake any duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as may be required by the federal securities laws.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Net Debt is calculated by deducting cash on hand from the amount outstanding on our revolving credit facility as of the balance sheet or measurement date.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before expenses for interest, income taxes, depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion, and excludes non-cash gains and losses on unsettled derivative instruments and non-cash unit-based compensation in addition to certain items we consider non-routine in nature, including non-cash oil and natural gas property impairments and material general and administrative costs related to the Spin-Off.

Vitesse defines Free Cash Flow as cash flow from operations, adding back changes in operating assets and liabilities, less development of oil and gas properties. A reconciliation of each of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included below.

“PV-10” is the present value of estimated future oil and gas revenues, net of estimated direct expenses, discounted at an annual discount rate of 10% to estimate the present value of proved oil and natural gas reserves. PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure and is derived from the Standardized Measure, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure for proved reserves calculated using SEC Pricing. PV-10 is a computation of the Standardized Measure on a pre-tax basis. PV-10 is equal to the Standardized Measure at the applicable date, before deducting future income taxes discounted at 10 percent. A reconciliation of PV-10 to the Standardized Measure is included below.

Management believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of financial performance. Specifically, management believes the non-GAAP financial measures included herein provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that management believes are not indicative of Vitesse’s core operating results. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring Vitesse’s performance, and management believes it is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes.

(1) Discounted future net cash flows are valued as of December 31, 2022 based on average prices of $94.14 per barrel of oil and $6.36 per MMBtu of natural gas. Under SEC guidelines, these prices represent the unweighted average prices per barrel of oil and per MMBtu of natural gas at the beginning of each month in the twelve-month period prior to the end of the reporting period.

(2) Future income taxes for Vitesse as of December 31, 2022 were zero due to Vitesse Energy's tax status as a pass-through entity.

(3) Vitesse’s PV-10 has historically been computed on the same basis as our Standardized Measure because it did not include a provision for future income taxes. Our calculation of PV-10 for annual periods following the Spin-Off will be adjusted upward for estimated future income tax expense, computed by applying the then applicable year end statutory tax rates to future pretax net cash flows, less the tax basis of the properties involved and utilization of available tax carryforwards related to oil and gas operations.
