Ben M. (“Bud”) Brigham, Executive Chairman commented, “Our 23% sequential production growth during the fourth quarter clearly demonstrates the resiliency of our “core-of-core” liquids weighted mineral position. Likewise, the 110% yearly production growth reaffirms the long-term strength of our diversified portfolio to deliver extended organic growth as well as our team’s ability to execute accretive ground game acquisitions. Our follow-on offering, executed in December, provides ample 2020 liquidity for our technical team to continue to execute upon our accretive ground game acquisitions. We are also excited to announce a 2020 mineral acquisition capital budget of $160 to $240 million, largely anticipated to be deployed to Permian Basin opportunities.”

Robert M. (“Rob”) Roosa, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “During the fourth quarter, we saw record DUC to PDP conversions across our assets. Our 376 gross DUCs converted to PDP this quarter were 53% greater than the 245 conversions last quarter. The ramp in our converted DUCs helped to fuel our 23% sequential production growth and record revenues. Even with the strong DUC conversions in the fourth quarter, we were able to reload 95% of our net DUC inventory and we remain excited about our continued forecasted production growth into 2020. Our 892 gross DUCs (5.9 net) in inventory as of year-end 2019 will be completed by well capitalized highly active operators including Continental Resources, Royal Dutch Shell, Occidental Petroleum and ExxonMobil. Furthermore, we saw a strong replenishment of gross and net permits during Q4 2019. Gross permits on our acreage increased to 715 (681 in Q3 2019) and net permits stayed steady at 4.4 (4.5 in Q3 2019). After the strong performance of our assets in Q4 2019, we are excited to raise our base production guidance for the full year 2020 to 10,000 - 11,000 Boe/d, which excludes production volumes associated with our ongoing 2020 acquisition ground game.”

Blake C. Williams, Chief Financial Officer, added, “We are extremely pleased with our financial performance in the fourth quarter, especially our record revenues, Adjusted EBITDA(1), and discretionary cash flow(1). The outperformance of our portfolio, anchored by continued strong completion and drilling activity across our Permian assets, allowed us to substantially raise our dividend by over 15% this quarter even after issuing 6 million new shares in our follow-on offering this December. Our discretionary cash flow per share of Class A common stock was $0.45 on a pre-tax basis, which was up 22% from the third quarter, and $0.38 per share on a post-tax basis, up 15% from the third quarter. Our ability to grow the dividend this quarter in a challenging market underscores the quality of our core asset position and resilience of the Brigham Minerals business model.”

During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company executed 51 transactions acquiring 3,000 net royalty acres (standardized to a 1/8th royalty interest) and deployed $37.8 million in capital to the Permian, SCOOP/STACK, and Williston Basins. The Company deployed approximately 57% of its mineral acquisition capital in the fourth quarter to the Permian Basin (42% Delaware and 15% Midland), 20% to the Anadarko Basin, and 19% to the Williston Basin. Fourth quarter acquisitions are expected to deliver near-term production and cash flow growth with the addition of 87 gross DUCs (0.5 net DUCs) and 47 gross permits (0.2 net permits) to inventory counts.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed 216 transactions acquiring 13,400 net royalty acres (standardized to a 1/8th royalty interest) and deployed $218 million in capital to the Permian, SCOOP/STACK/Merge, Williston and DJ Basins. The Company deployed approximately 71% of its mineral acquisition capital in 2019 to the Permian Basin (62% Delaware and 9% Midland), 23% to the Anadarko Basin, 5% to the Williston Basin and 1% to the DJ Basin. The acquired minerals added 210 gross DUCs (2.0 net DUCs) and 99 gross permits (0.5 net permits) to its inventory counts over the year. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had acquired roughly 82,200 net royalty acres, encompassing 12,777 gross (112 net) undeveloped horizontal locations, across 39 counties in what the Company views as the core of the Permian Basin in West Texas and New Mexico, the SCOOP/STACK plays in the Anadarko Basin of Oklahoma, the DJ Basin in Colorado and Wyoming and the Williston Basin in North Dakota.

FINANCIAL UPDATE

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, crude oil, natural gas and NGL production volumes, increased 110% to 9,627 Boe/d (73% liquids) as compared to the same prior year period, largely due to a 132% increase in Permian Basin volumes and a 120% increase in Anadarko Basin volumes.

Fourth quarter 2019 average realized prices were $55.55 per barrel of oil, $1.88 per Mcf of natural gas, and $14.22 per barrel of NGL, for a total equivalent price of $37.39 per Boe, excluding the effect of derivative instruments. This represents a 12% increase relative to third quarter 2019 and is 7% lower than year-ago levels of $40.15 per Boe.

The Company’s net income was $12.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, inclusive of $1.8 million of non-cash share-based compensation expense.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, crude oil, natural gas and NGL production volumes, increased 91% to 7,414 Boe/d (71% liquids) as compared to the prior year, due to a 138% increase in Permian Basin volumes and a 103% increase in Anadarko Basin volumes.

Full year 2019 average realized prices were $54.16 per barrel of oil, $2.07 per Mcf of natural gas, and $15.03 per barrel of NGL, for a total equivalent price of $36.17 per Boe, excluding the effect of derivative instruments. This represents a 14% decrease relative to 2018 realized prices of $42.19 per Boe.

The Company’s net income was $21.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, inclusive of $6.9 million of loss on extinguishment of debt and $10.0 million of non-cash share-based compensation expense.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Discretionary Cash Flow are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures used by our management and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, research analysts and others to assess the financial performance of our assets and their ability to sustain dividends over the long term without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis.

We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) before loss on extinguishment of debt. We define Adjusted EBITDA as adjusted net income (loss) before depreciation, depletion and amortization, share based compensation expense, interest expense, gain or loss on sale and distribution of equity securities, gain or loss on derivative instruments and income tax expense, less other income and gain or loss on sale of oil and gas properties. We define Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus as Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to eliminate the impacts of lease bonus revenue we receive due to the unpredictability of timing and magnitude of the revenue. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We define Discretionary Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash interest expense and cash taxes.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Discretionary Cash Flow do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income, income from operations, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of our financial performance. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Discretionary Cash Flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Our computation of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Discretionary Cash Flow may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Discretionary Cash Flow to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for the periods indicated.

SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES
