  1. First Quarter 2009 Net Income. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the company reported net income of $2.4 million, or $0.11 per share, exceeding analysis consensus which was a net loss of $0.07 per share. This compares to net income of $7.6 million, or $0.35 per share, for the same period in 2008.

    First Quarter 2009 Operating Results. Oil and gas sales totaled $24.8 million from production of 33.6 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day (MMcfe/d). This corresponds to sales of $45.0 million from production of 42.1 MMcfe/d during the same period in 2008. The average price received per thousand cubic feet of natural gas decreased to $6.13, compared to $9.50 during the first quarter of 2008, while the average price received per barrel of oil decreased to $60.59, compared to $86.66 during the same period in 2008. All average realized price amounts are after the impact of hedging, which added $7.9 million to oil and gas sales.

    First Quarter 2009 Discretionary Cash Flow. Discretionary cash flow for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 totaled $14.2 million compared to $29.0 million during the previous year. Net cash flow provided by operating activities, as defined by GAAP, totaled $2.2 million and $35.1 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” that follows and the accompanying reconciliation of discretionary cash flow to net cash flow provided by operating activities.)

    Non-GAAP Financial Measure - This news release refers to a non-GAAP financial measure as “discretionary cash flow.” Callon believes that the non-GAAP measure of discretionary cash flow is useful as an indicator of an oil and gas exploration and production company’s ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur additional debt. The company also has included this information because changes in operating assets and liabilities relate to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements which the company may not control and may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred. Discretionary cash flow should not be considered an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities or net income as defined by GAAP.
