The Company posted earnings for the full year 2003 of $56.6 million or $1.05 per share, a 21% increase over 2002 net income of $46.8 million or $0.88 per share, the increase primarily due to higher commodity prices. Fourth quarter 2003 net income was $15.2 million, or $0.28 per share, about the same as fourth quarter 2002 net income of $15.3 million or $0.29 per share.

Review of Financial Results

Denbury's fourth quarter production averaged 19,020 Bbls/d and 93.4 MMcf/d, or 34,590 BOE/d, a 4% increase over third quarter 2003 levels, and a 1% increase from fourth quarter 2002 production levels, after adjusting for the sale of Laurel Laurel, cities, United States

During the month of January 2004, production from these tertiary operations continued to increase, averaging over 6,000 BOE/d.

Despite the relatively flat production, oil and natural gas revenues increased $1.8 million (2%) in the fourth quarter of 2003, as compared to the comparable quarter of 2002, as a result of higher commodity prices, partially offset by higher hedging payments.

However, the Company paid $2.42 more per BOE on hedges during the 2003 period than a year earlier, reducing the net realized per BOE price increase between the respective fourth quarters to $1.48 per BOE.

 increased from $6.34 per BOE in the fourth quarter of 2002 to $6.78 per BOE in the fourth quarter of 2003. The primary reasons for the increase were continued expansion of CO2 tertiary projects, which typically have a higher than average operating cost per BOE, and higher lease fuel costs due to high natural gas prices. Although the Company's cost structure is increasing as a result of additional tertiary operations, this increase is offset by the improvement in oil price differentials (as compared to NYMEX) related to this production, as the oil production from these operations is light, sweet crude oil Sweet crude oil is a type of petroleum. Petroleum is considered "sweet" if it contains less than 0.5% sulfur[1], compared to a higher level of sulfur in sour crude oil. Sweet crude oil contains small amounts of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide.  that commands a premium price. The Company's average NYMEX differential decreased from $4.00 per Bbl during the fourth quarter of 2002 to $3.54 per Bbl during the fourth quarter of 2003, a $0.46 per Bbl improvement.

General and administrative expenses increased to an average of $1.44 per BOE in the fourth quarter of 2003, up from $0.87 per BOE in the comparable quarter of 2002. The biggest portion of the increase was approximately $630,000 ($0.20 per BOE) of legal, accounting, bank and other fees associated with the conversion to a holding company organizational structure This article has no lead section.

Depreciation and amortization ("DD&A") expenses increased $1.4 million (6%) in the fourth quarter of 2003 as compared to the prior year fourth quarter. The DD&A rate in the fourth quarter of 2003 was $8.00 per BOE, up from $7.29 per BOE in the prior year fourth quarter. The majority of the increase in DD&A expense on a per BOE basis is related to higher finding costs in 2003 and higher DD&A expense associated with the Company's CO2 properties as a result of the 74% increase in CO2 production between the respective quarters and $22.7 million of incremental capital costs related to the Company's CO2 properties during 2003.

2004 Outlook

Denbury's 2004 development and exploration budget (excluding acquisitions) is currently set at $172 million. Approximately 47% of the Company's current 2004 capital budget is related to its tertiary operations, as compared to approximately 28% of its 2003 capital expenditures. Most of the offsetting budget reductions are in the offshore Gulf of Mexico Noun 1. Gulf of Mexico - an arm of the Atlantic to the south of the United States and to the east of Mexico

Atlantic, Atlantic Ocean - the 2nd largest ocean; separates North and South America on the west from Europe and Africa on the east
 where the 2004 capital budget has been reduced from a 34% level in the 2003 capital budget to approximately 17% of the current year program. This shift in spending from shorter-life natural gas properties to longer-life oil properties (the tertiary operations) that have lower initial production rates and a longer lead time before production commences is expected to result in about the same average production levels during 2004 as in 2003. While production from the tertiary operations is expected to increase from a 2003 average of 4,671 BOE/d to a projected 2004 average of 7,000 to 7,500 BOE/d, a 50+% increase, this increase is essentially offset by projected production declines in the Company's other areas, primarily its shorter-life natural gas properties in Louisiana Louisiana (ləwē'zēăn`ə, lē'–), state in the S central United States. It is bounded by Mississippi, with the Mississippi R.  and the Gulf of Mexico.

During 2003 we accomplished our goal of reducing our leverage, reducing debt by approximately $50 million during the year. We do not expect to have any significant reductions or additions in our overall debt level during 2004, unless we were to make a significant acquisition, although there will likely be minor borrowings and repayments to manage working capital and fund minor acquisitions.
