Denbury Resources Announces 2004 Results; Tertiary Oil Production Hits New High.


DALLAS Dallas, city (1990 pop. 1,006,877), seat of Dallas co., N Tex., on the Trinity River near the junction of its three forks; inc. 1871. The second largest Texas city, after Houston, and the eighth largest U.S.  -- Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE NYSE

:DNR See dynamic noise reduction and domain name resolver. ) ("Denbury" or the "Company") today announced its fourth quarter and 2004 financial and operating results. The Company posted earnings for the full year 2004 of $82.4 million or $1.50 per share, a 46% increase over 2003 net income of $56.6 million or $1.05 per share, the increase primarily due to higher commodity prices. Fourth quarter 2004 net income was $22.5 million, or $0.41 per share, a 48% increase over fourth quarter 2003 net income of $15.2 million or $0.28 per share.

 measure, totaled $17.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2004, as compared to $51.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2003. The difference between fourth quarter 2004 adjusted cash flow and cash flow from operations is due to the significant reduction of accounts payables Payables

Review of Financial Results

Denbury's fourth quarter 2004 production averaged 19,644 Bbls/d and 56.0 MMcf/d, or 28,977 BOE/d, a 4% increase over third quarter 2004 levels and a 4% increase over fourth quarter 2003 production levels, all after adjusting for the sale of offshore properties.

During the month of January January: see month.  2005, production from these tertiary operations continued to increase, averaging over 8,300 BOE/d (approximately 27% of the Company's total production). Production from the Barnett Shale The Barnett Shale is a geological formation of economic significance. It consists of sedimentary rocks of Mississippian age in the U.S. State of Texas. The formation is estimated to stretch from the city of Dallas to west of the city of Fort Worth and south, covering 5,000 square  averaged 5.8 MMcf/d (962 BOE/d) during the fourth quarter of 2004, an almost threefold increase over the 1.6 MMcf/d (268 BOE/d) average production during the fourth quarter of 2003. Production during the fourth quarter of 2004 was 68% oil as compared to 55% oil for the comparable quarter of 2003, primarily as a result of the sale of Denbury's offshore properties in July July: see month.  2004.

Despite an overall lower production level as a result of this offshore sale, total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2004 increased $7.7 million (9%), as compared to revenues in the fourth quarter of 2003, primarily as a result of higher commodity prices, partially offset by higher hedging payments and lower production levels.

Production taxes and marketing expenses also increased primarily as a result of the higher commodity prices.

General and administrative expenses increased $1.8 million (38%) between the fourth quarter of 2003 and 2004, averaging $2.38 per BOE in the fourth quarter of 2004, up from $1.44 per BOE in the comparable quarter of 2003.

Interest expense decreased 12% in the fourth quarter of 2004 as compared to the fourth quarter 2003, due to lower overall debt levels following the Company's $50 million debt reduction during 2003 and $75 million debt reduction during 2004. At Dec. 31, 2004, the Company had approximately $140 million of net debt (long-term debt Long-Term Debt

The DD&A rate in the fourth quarter of 2004 was $7.98 per BOE, about the same as the $8.00 per BOE in the prior year fourth quarter. DD&A expense on a per BOE basis decreased due to the sale of the Company's offshore properties in July 2004, which was partially offset by increasing estimates of future development costs due to rising industry costs.

 basis upon completion. Over 60% of the combined 2005 capital budget is related to tertiary operations, as compared to approximately 43% of 2004 capital expenditures. The Company has adjusted its 2005 forecasted average production to approximately 31,000 BOE/d, an increase of approximately 500 BOE/d to adjust for the anticipated production from its High Island A-6 well, a well excluded from the offshore sale package that should commence production late in the first quarter. The adjusted production target represents an 11% increase in production over the Company's 2004 production levels, excluding 2004 offshore production. Production from the Company's tertiary operations is expected to increase from a 2004 average of 6,784 BOE/d to a projected 2005 average of almost 10,000 BOE/d, a 47% increase.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted cash flow from operations is a non-GAAP measure that represents cash flow provided by operations before changes in assets and liabilities, as summarized from the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Adjusted cash flow from operations measures the cash flow earned or incurred from operating activities without regard to the collection or payment of associated receivables Receivables

An asset designation applicable to all debts, unsettled transactions or other monetary obligations owed to a company by its debtors or customers. Receivables are recorded by a company's accountants and reported on the balance sheet, and they and include all debts owed
 or payables. The Company believes that it is important to consider this measure separately, as it believes it can often be a better way to discuss changes in operating trends in its business caused by changes in production, prices, operating costs operating costs nplgastos mpl operacionales  and so forth, without regard to whether the earned or incurred item was collected or paid during that period.
