•Repurchased 2 million shares of common stock
•Declared total quarterly dividends of $0.62 per share: $0.56 variable and $0.06 fixed

“As demonstrated by our second quarter results, Berry continues to deliver impressive cash flows. For the quarter, our combined dividend will be $0.62 and in the same period we successfully repurchased two million shares of Berry stock for $23 million. Since our 2018 IPO, we will have returned over $225 million to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases, which is more than two times the $110 million of net IPO proceeds. In fact, we have repurchased more than 7.5 million shares or nearly 10% of Berry’s outstanding shares over the last few years,” said Trem Smith, Berry Board Chair and CEO.
For the remainder of the year, we currently see our production holding relatively steady and our discretionary free cash flow remaining strong. We are focused on proactively managing our business and adapting to the dynamic macro environment while continuing to uphold our capital return commitments. I'm pleased to announce an exciting development potentially allowing new Thermal Diatomite production. We have encouraging initial results from early testing of two new horizontal wells using a new development concept that takes advantage of existing reservoir energy, and therefore does not require high pressure cyclic steam injection. While the results are still preliminary and additional testing needs to be performed, if ultimately successful this application offers a potentially significant opportunity. We also continue our early stage CCS efforts through signed Letters of Intent to capture and sequester the majority of our direct operational Scope 1 carbon dioxide emissions in California; although these CCS projects remain subject to regulatory approval, we look forward to working with the counter-parties on a solution that benefits all of our stakeholders,” continued Smith.
Second Quarter 2022 Results
Adjusted EBITDA(1), on a hedged basis, was $110 million in the second quarter 2022. This represented a 15% increase compared to $96 million in the first quarter 2022. This increase is largely the result of higher hedged oil prices and improved margins from the well servicing and abandonment segment, partially offset by lower oil and gas volumes and higher GHG prices as that market returned to more normal levels compared to the first quarter.
The Company reported daily production of 26,200 boe/d for the second quarter 2022, compared to 26,700 boe/d for the first quarter of 2022. The sequential decrease was primarily attributed to the divestment of our Colorado asset in the first quarter and shut in production during planned drilling, workover and abandonment activities in California during the second quarter. Production in Utah increased largely as a result of the drilling program during the first
half of the year. The Company's oil production for the second quarter 2022 was 24,000 bbl/d, or 92% of total production, with California production contributing 21,000 boe/d or 80% of total production.
The Company-wide hedged realized oil price for the second quarter 2022 was $83.78 per bbl, a 9% increase from the prior quarter. The California average oil price before hedges for the second quarter 2022 was $107.31 per bbl, reflecting approximately 96% of Brent, which was 15% higher than the $93.16 per bbl in the first quarter 2022, approximately 95% of Brent.
Operating expenses, or OpEx, consists of lease operating expenses (“LOE”), third-party expenses and revenues from electricity generation, transportation and marketing activities, as well as the effect of derivative settlements (received or paid) for gas purchases. On a hedged basis, operating expenses increased slightly by $0.33 per boe or 1% to $25.97 for the second quarter 2022, compared to $25.64 for the first quarter 2022. During the second quarter, non-energy operating expenses increased due to higher workover and field monitoring activity associated with our field optimization program, and well and facility maintenance expenses. A portion of these higher costs was driven by inflation. Energy operating expenses decreased in the second quarter due to lower hedged fuel prices and higher electricity sales, compared to the first quarter 2022.
Total general and administrative expenses were comparable at $23 million for each of the second and first quarters of 2022. Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses(1), which exclude non-cash stock compensation costs and nonrecurring costs, were also comparable at $19 million for the second and first quarters of 2022.
Taxes, other than income taxes were $4.70 per boe for the second quarter compared to $2.74 per boe in the first quarter 2022 with the increase largely due to the GHG prices returning to the higher, more normal levels compared to the first quarter.
For the second quarter 2022, capital expenditures were approximately $34 million on an accrual basis including capitalized overhead and interest and excluding acquisitions and asset retirement obligation spending. Approximately 55% of this capital was directed to California oil operations, and 34% to Utah operations. Additionally, the Company spent approximately $6 million for plugging and abandonment activities in the second quarter 2022. Aggregate capital expenditures in the first half of 2022 were $62 million and the Company expects full year capital will be at the lower end of its guidance range due to a shift in its development plans to reuse existing wellbores.
The operating results for C&J Well Services improved in the second quarter 2022 compared to the first quarter 2022. For this segment in the second and first quarters 2022, respectively, services revenues were $46 million and $40 million, costs of services were $37 million and $33 million, and general and administrative expenses were $3 million each quarter.
At June 30, 2022, the Company had liquidity of $251 million consisting of $58 million cash on hand and $193 million available for borrowings under its RBL Facility.
“It was a strong discretionary free cash flow quarter and, at current commodity prices, we expect to continue to deliver top tier returns,” stated Cary Baetz, Berry's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Our 2022 guidance ranges remain in place; however, operating expenses are tracking on the higher side of guidance due to an increase in workovers expensed as we optimized our base production as well as incurred some additional costs associated with our new surveillance program. We also expect a slightly lower capital expenditure due primarily to the increase in workovers expensed and lower overall new drill well count for the year.”
Quarterly Dividends
The Company’s Board of Directors declared dividends totaling $0.62 per share on the Company’s outstanding common stock. The variable portion of $0.56 per share was based on second quarter 2022 Discretionary Free Cash Flow(1) in accordance with the Company's Shareholder Return Model. The fixed portion of $0.06 per share was also declared, and both dividends are payable on August 25, 2022 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 15, 2022.
Subject to approval by the Board on a quarterly basis and depending on a variety of factors, including the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, the Company intends to declare a fixed and variable dividend each quarter.

__________
(1) We report electricity, transportation and marketing sales separately in our financial statements as revenues in accordance with GAAP. However, these revenues are viewed and used internally in calculating operating expenses which is used to track and analyze the economics of development projects and the efficiency of our hydrocarbon recovery. We purchase third-party gas to generate electricity through our cogeneration facilities to be used in our field operations activities and view the added benefit of any excess electricity sold externally as a cost reduction/benefit to generating steam for our thermal recovery operations. Marketing revenues and expenses mainly relate to natural gas purchased from third parties that moves through our gathering and processing systems and then is sold to third parties. Transportation sales relate to water and other liquids that we transport on our systems on behalf of third parties and have not been significant to date. Operating expenses also include the effect of derivative settlements (received or paid) for gas purchases.
(2) Total unhedged operating expenses equals total operating expenses, excluding the derivative settlements paid (received) for gas purchases.
(3) Total non-energy operating expenses equals total operating expenses, excluding fuel, electricity sales and gas purchase derivative settlement (gains) losses.
(4) Total energy operating expenses equals fuel and gas purchase derivative settlement (gains) losses less electricity sales.

(1) Production represents volumes sold during the period. We also consume a portion of the natural gas we produce on lease to extract oil and gas.
(2) Our Placerita properties, in the Ventura basin, were divested in October 2021.
(3) Our properties in Colorado were in the Piceance basin, all of which were all divested in January 2022.
(4) Natural gas volumes have been converted to boe based on energy content of six mcf of gas to one bbl of oil. Barrels of oil equivalence does not necessarily result in price equivalence. The price of natural gas on a barrel of oil equivalent basis is currently substantially lower than the corresponding price for oil and has been similarly lower for a number of years. For example, in the three months ended June 30, 2022, the average prices of Brent oil and Henry Hub natural gas were $111.98 per bbl and $7.50 per mmbtu respectively.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATIONS
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is not a measure of net income (loss) and Discretionary Free Cash Flow is not a measure of cash flow, and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Unhedged are not measures of either, in all cases, as determined by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Unhedged, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Discretionary Free Cash Flow are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for derivative gains or losses net of cash received or paid for scheduled derivative settlements, other unusual and infrequent items, and the income tax expense or benefit of these adjustments using our effective tax rate. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense; income taxes; depreciation, depletion, and amortization; derivative gains or losses net of cash received or paid for scheduled derivative settlements; impairments; stock compensation expense; and unusual and infrequent items. We define Discretionary Free Cash Flow as cash flow from operations less regular fixed dividends and the capital needed to hold production flat.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excludes the impact of unusual and infrequent items affecting earnings that vary widely and unpredictably, including non-cash items such as derivative gains and losses. This measure is used by management when comparing results period over period. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information in assessing our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and is widely used by the industry and the investment community. The measure also allows our management to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results between periods without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We also use Adjusted EBITDA in planning our capital allocation to sustain production levels and to determine our strategic hedging needs aside from the hedging requirements of the 2021 RBL Facility. Management believes Discretionary Free Cash Flow provides useful information in assessing our financial condition, and is the primary metric to determine the quarterly variable dividend. We expect to allocate 60% of Discretionary Free Cash Flow predominantly in the form of cash variable dividends, as well as opportunistic debt repurchases. The remaining 40% will be used for opportunistic growth, including from our extensive inventory of drilling opportunities, advancing our short- and long-term sustainability initiatives, share repurchases, and/or capital retention. Our management believes Discretionary Free Cash Flow provides useful information in assessing our financial condition, and is the primary metric to determine the quarterly variable dividend.
Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses as general and administrative expenses adjusted for non-cash stock compensation expense and unusual and infrequent costs. Management believes Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses is useful because it allows us to more effectively compare our performance from period to period. We exclude the items listed above from general and administrative expenses in arriving at Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses because these amounts can vary widely and unpredictably in nature, timing, amount and frequency and stock compensation expense is non-cash in nature.
While Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Unhedged, Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses and Discretionary Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP measures, the amounts included in the calculations of Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Unhedged, Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses and Discretionary Free Cash Flow were computed in accordance with GAAP. These measures are provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, income and liquidity measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, income and liquidity measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance, such as our cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic cost of depreciable and depletable assets. Our computations of Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Unhedged, Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses and Discretionary Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Unhedged, Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses and Discretionary Free Cash Flow should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
