Energen Earns $0.65 per Diluted Share in Third Quarter 2009

2009-10-28 12:19 ET - News Release

Earnings Guidance: 2009 Range Increased to $3.45-$3.65/Diluted Share; 2010 Range Initiated at $4.00-$4.40/Diluted Share


BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- (Business Wire)

Energen Corporation (NYSE: EGN) reported today that consolidated net income in the third quarter of 2009 totaled $47.1 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, as compared with $73.1 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008. Included in current-year third quarter results is a one-time gain of $3.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, generated by the sale of a small, non-operated Permian Basin property by Energen Resources Corporation, the company’s oil and gas exploration and production subsidiary.

3Q09 vs 3Q08: Energen Resources’ substantial hedge position, 12 percent increase in production and 25 percent decrease in per-unit lease operating expense (LOE) helped offset the negative impact of significantly lower oil and gas prices, higher depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense and a greater net earnings loss at Alagasco, the company’s natural gas utility.
