DIAMONDBACK ENERGY, INC. ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER 2013
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS

Midland, TX (February 19, 2014) – Diamondback Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FANG) (“Diamondback” or the “Company”) today announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, net income was $20.1 million, or $0.42 per diluted share. Net income for the fourth quarter includes a non-cash gain on commodity derivatives of $1.6 million ($1.0 million net of tax), or $0.02 per diluted share. Without the impact of this item, net income for the fourth quarter of 2013 would have been $19.1 million, or $0.40 per diluted share.


HIGHLIGHTS

● As previously announced, the Company entered into definitive purchase agreements to acquire 6,450 gross (2,825 net) acres in Martin County for approximately $174 million.

● Proved reserves as of December 31, 2013 increased 58% year over year to 63.6 MMboe (67% oil, 17% natural gas liquids, 16% natural gas), with a PV 10 value of approximately $1.3 billion as calculated below. Additions replaced 975% (573% organically) of 2013 production.

● The ST S 705H Wolfcamp B well in Midland County, with a 33 stage 7,681’ lateral, achieved a peak 24 hour initial production (“IP”) rate of 1,185 Boe/d (96% oil) on electric submersible pump.

● Continued progress lowering lease operating expense (“LOE”) by 17% to $6.04/Boe during the fourth quarter of 2013 from $7.27/Boe during the third quarter of 2013.

● EBITDA (as defined below) for the fourth quarter and full year ending 2013 was $61.8 million and $164.8 million, respectively.

“As previously announced, we are excited about expanding our horizontal inventory in Martin County, with our pending acquisition of 6,450 gross acres that we believe to be prospective in up to six zones. This is expected to be another accretive acquisition for our company and marks our fourth major transaction since becoming a public company,” stated Travis Stice, Chief Executive Officer of Diamondback.

Mr. Stice added, “I’m proud of our results in 2013 and for the fourth quarter as our proved developed reserves grew by 143% and we replaced 975% of our 2013 production (573% organically). Our finding and development costs in 2013 were an attractive $14.46/boe. In 2013, our production volumes grew by nearly 150% as compared to 2012 and we expect to grow by more than 110% in 2014 compared to 2013. We again demonstrated our ability to reduce operating expenses to what I believe is among the best in the Midland Basin. We have achieved five consecutive quarters of double digit declines in lease operating expense, which was down 55% in the fourth quarter of 2013 from this same period in the prior year. Our low cost operating metrics combined with higher percentage of oil production is driving our peer leading cash margins. We are excited about our most recent Wolfcamp B test in Midland County, as it is our highest 24 hour IP rate for a 7,500 foot lateral. We have previously indicated that our 8,926 foot lateral ST S 501H well in Midland County is our best well to date. The well has produced over 75,000 barrels of oil and is still making over 600 barrels of oil a day. We continue to be an aggressive developer of our horizontal inventory, and will add a 5th horizontal rig as planned in the coming weeks.”








FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Fourth quarter 2013 income before income taxes was $31.8 million. During that same period the Company’s net income after taxes was $20.1 million as compared to $14.6 million in the third quarter of 2013.

Fourth quarter 2013 EBITDA was $61.8 million and fourth quarter 2013 revenues were $75.9 million, compared to third quarter 2013 EBITDA of $47.7 million and third quarter revenues of $57.8 million.

The Company’s liquidity position remains strong with approximately $16 million of cash on hand at December 31, 2013 and $10 million drawn on the revolver as of December 31, 2013 out of $225 million of availability.
 
During 2013, capital spent for drilling, completion and infrastructure was approximately $297.7 million. Additionally, the Company spent $640.0 million on acreage and minerals acquisitions.

RESERVES
Ryder Scott Company, L.P. prepared Diamondback’s estimated proved reserves as of December 31, 2013. Reference prices of $96.78 per barrel of oil, $3.67 per MMcf of natural gas, and $41.23 per barrel of natural gas liquids, were used in accordance with applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Realized prices with applicable differentials were $92.59 per barrel of oil, $4.13 per MMcf of natural gas and $37.82 per barrel of natural gas liquids.

Proved reserves at year-end 2013 of 63.6 MMBoe represent a 58% increase over year-end 2012 reserves.

Proved developed reserves increased by 143% to 30.0 MMBoe as of December 31, 2013 reflecting the development of the Company’s horizontal well inventory. Horizontal wells now represent 38% of Diamondback’s proved developed reserves and 46% of the Company’s proved undeveloped reserves. Crude oil represents 67% of Diamondback’s total proved reserves, up from 65% in the prior year period.

Net proved reserve additions of 26.0 MMBoe resulted in a reserve replacement ratio of 975% (as defined by the sum of extensions, discoveries, revisions, and purchases, divided by annual production). The organic reserve replacement ratio was 573% (as defined by the sum of extensions, discoveries, and revisions, divided by annual production).

Development of the Company’s horizontal well inventory has caused us to defer development of our vertical well inventory. The Company currently does not plan to drill some of the previously recorded vertical proved undeveloped (“PUD”) locations in a time frame consistent with the SEC five year PUD rule. As such, 7.9 MMBoe of PUD reserves were moved out of the proved category and into probable. These revisions constitute the majority of Diamondback’s revisions to previous estimates.

¹The Company's pro forma basic loss per share amounts have been computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, as if the common shares issued on October 11, 2012, when Diamonback Energy, Inc. merged with its parent entity, Diamondback Energy LLC, with Diamondback Energy, Inc. continuing as the surviving entity, were outstanding for the entire year. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method. During periods in which the Company realizes a net loss, options and restricted stock awards would not be dilutive to the net loss per share and conversion into common stock is assumed not to occur.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income plus non-cash (gain) loss on derivative instruments and related income tax adjustments. EBITDA 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. The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) plus non-cash (gain) loss on derivative contracts, loss on derivative contracts, interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, non-cash equity-based compensation, capitalized equity-based compensation, asset retirement obligation accretion expense and deferred income tax provision. EBITDA is not a measure of net income (loss) as determined by United States’ generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Management believes EBITDA is useful because it allows it to more effectively evaluate the Company’s operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. The Company excludes the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within its industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of EBITDA. The Company’s computations of EBITDA and adjusted net income may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies or to such measure in our credit facility.
The following tables present a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure of EBITDA to the GAAP financial measure of net income.

¹The Company's pro forma basic loss per share amounts have been computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, as if the common shares issued on October 11, 2012, when Diamonback Energy, Inc. merged with its parent entity, Diamondback Energy LLC, with Diamondback Energy, Inc. continuing as the surviving entity, were outstanding for the entire year. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method. During periods in which the Company realizes a net loss, options and restricted stock awards would not be dilutive to the net loss per share and conversion into common stock is assumed not to occur.

PV-10

PV-10 is the Company’s estimate of the present value of the future net revenues from proved oil and gas reserves after deducting estimated production and ad valorem taxes, future capital costs and operating expenses, but before deducting any estimates of future income taxes. The estimated future net revenues are discounted at an annual rate of 10% to determine their “present value.” The Company believes PV-10 to be an important measure for evaluating the relative significance of its oil and gas properties and that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure of PV-10 provides useful information to investors because it is widely used by professional analysts and investors in evaluating oil and gas companies. Because there are many unique factors that can impact an individual company when estimating the amount of future income taxes to be paid, the Company believes the use of a





pre-tax measure is valuable for evaluating the Company. The Company believes that PV-10 is a financial measure routinely used and calculated similarly by other companies in the oil and gas industry.

The following table reconciles PV-10 to the Company’s standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. PV-10 should not be considered as an alternative to the standardized measure as computed under GAAP.
