New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 38% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (38% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (39% net profit margin). Reported Earnings • Nov 07

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The company has a short dividend paying track record. Less than a year of continuous dividend payments. Dividend yield: 2.5% This is considered a minor risk. For dividend focussed investors, companies that have not established a long-term track record of consistently maintaining or growing dividends are less attractive than those companies that have a long track record. Those that have a long track record have proven their underlying business is stable enough to consistently maintain or grow the dividend and that the company considers maintaining the dividend to be one of its priorities. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (59% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Short dividend paying track record (less than a year of continuous dividend payments). Reported Earnings • Aug 04

SandRidge Energy: Oil Production Growth Offers Upside With Hedged Natural Gas Downside Summary
SD is selling off with natural gas producer equities.
The company is growing oil production quickly.
SandRidge has much of its natural gas price exposure hedged.
Opportunity for outperformance as this is recognized.
SandRidge Energy: Oil Production Growth Offers Upside with Hedged Natural Gas Downside
With natural gas prices in free fall, investors are rightfully concerned that gas-weighted producer profits could suffer materially, particularly as the forward price falls too. Gas prices are volatile and notoriously hard to predict, and we take no directional view on their trajectory in the short to medium term. However, SandRidge Energy (SD) is likely to successfully navigate this turbulent market environment due to its opportunistic hedges and rapid oil production growth.
SandRidge significantly increased its capital budget in mid 2022 to invest in incremental oil production, and now its oil production has already inflected. As its oil production grows, SandRidge’s cash flow is becoming less sensitive to lower gas prices while offering more torque to higher oil and natural gas liquids pricing.
Additionally, SandRidge’s management opportunistically hedged a portion of its gas production, offering downside protection in a low-gas price environment as oil production grows and free cash flow is generated. Despite this oil production growth and a large, growing net cash position, SandRidge has continued to trade in-line with gas-weighted peers, offering a compelling opportunity here.
SandRidge Q4 2022 Forecast
It is helpful to review SandRidge’s Q3 2022 cash flow and likely Q4 cash flow based on prevailing commodity prices. Below an estimate of SandRidge’s Q4 cash flow based on commodity prices at the time, and management production and cost guidance:
Bison Interests
As can be seen above, SandRidge may see a modest decline in cash flow from operations ((CFO)) despite significantly lower oil & gas prices and higher cost guidance. Free cash flow ((FCF)) is projected to decline materially due to higher capital expenditures, discussed in detail below.
The decline in revenues due to lower market prices is likely to be partially offset by SandRidge’s natural gas hedges. These covered roughly half of SandRidge’s forecasted Q4 production at a favorable price above $8/MMBtu, while the prevailing market price is around $2.4/MMBtu at the time of writing. And with hedges rolling off in March 2023, these may continue to offer SD stock significant downside protection if gas prices remain low in Q1 2023.
SandRidge’s management has a successful hedging track record. SandRidge was previously unhedged while gas prices were on the rise, and subsequently hedged roughly half of the company’s natural gas production when prices were near their peak. This certainly helps on SandRidge’s path of net cash builds and oil production growth.
With its current hedges, SandRidge continues to offer significant torque to higher oil and gas prices. We sensitized our estimate of SandRidge’s Q4 FCF to a range of oil and gas prices, to illustrate what could happen to cash flow in subsequent quarters in future quarters:

Oil Production Growth
SandRidge’s overall production including natural gas, natural gas liquids and oil, has in aggregate been flat over the last year, while its capital expenditures have increased materially:
Bison Interests
At the surface level, this could be concerning for some investors. However, a closer look reveals that even though overall production remains flat, SandRidge’s oil production has been inflecting:
Bison Interests
In early Q3 2022, SandRidge increased its capital expenditure guidance to $56-70MM from $41-50MM, as it announced it was drilling 3 additional oil wells, re-activating and optimizing other wells that were previously shut in and completing artificial lift conversions. These wells were drilled and brought on production successfully, benefiting SandRidge with a 24% increase in oil production in Q3, as can be seen above. And SandRidge’s oil production is expected to increase another ∼24% in Q4, as per management’s full year production guidance. Seeking Alpha • Jan 04
SandRidge Energy: Could Reach $9 To $10 Per Share In Cash By End Of 2023 Summary
Natural gas prices have decreased sharply, reducing SandRidge's projected free cash flow as its production is over 50% natural gas.
It also has a limited amount of hedges, with around 20% of its Q1 2023 natural gas production hedged and nothing reported beyond that.
Despite those headwinds, SandRidge still looks capable of ending 2023 with around $9 to $10 per share in cash.
Adding the value of its reserves would make it worth an estimated $20 per share in a long-term (after 2023) $70 WTI oil and $4.00 NYMEX gas environment.
SandRidge Energy's (SD) near-term cash flow expectations have been reduced due to the decline in natural gas strip prices. The NYMEX strip for 2023 is now down to under $4, and it may realize under $3 for its natural gas (including hedges) at that price, which is less than half of what it realized in Q3 2022.
Oil prices have held up better recently, so SandRidge should still be able to end up with around $9 to $10 per share in cash by the end of 2023 based on current strip prices. Combined with the value of its reserves, SandRidge's estimated value ends up at around $20 at long-term $70 WTI oil and $4 NYMEX gas.
SandRidge's 2022 development plans included 12 NW Stack wells that boosted its oil production, but it may decide to go with a smaller amount of wells or completely halt new development in 2023 as the returns are less certain at the current 2023 strip.
Natural Gas Prices
SandRidge's oil percentage has been increasing a bit with its new NW Stack wells, but its production is still heavily natural gas weighted (16% oil, 30% NGLs and 54% natural gas) in Q3 2022. The new NW Stack wells are also producing a decent amount of gas currently, and are expected to become gassier over time. For example, SandRidge mentioned that its first two 1-mile lateral wells were producing a pad total of close to 600 barrels of oil per day and over 1,000 Mcf per day after more than 90 days of production.
Thus changes in natural gas prices have a large effect on SandRidge's financials. Despite its increasing oil percentage, a $1 change in natural gas prices appears to now have around the same effect on SandRidge's cash flow as a roughly $18 change in oil prices (before the effect of hedges and not including any change in the price of NGLs).
SandRidge realized $5.99 per Mcf (excluding hedges) for its natural gas in Q3 2022, but it may realize an average closer to $2.65 per Mcf in 2023 before hedges based on current strip prices ($3.90 NYMEX) and its typical differentials. SandRidge does have hedges covering some of its Q1 2023 natural gas production that may boost its realized price (at current strip) to around $2.90 for the full year.
NW Stack Economics
SandRidge estimated that its NW Stack wells could generate an IRR of a bit over 40% at $75 oil and $4.50 gas. That combination of commodity prices is close to the equivalent of the current $77 oil and $3.90 gas strip for 2023.
SandRidge has been focusing on cost control efforts, but if there is meaningful projected inflation with its 2023 NW Stack wells, it may reduce (or stop) its development program.
2022 NW Stack Economics (sandridgeenergy.com)
The environment involving a combination of lower commodity prices plus cost inflation pressure may make SandRidge's NW Stack returns relatively marginal again.
Cash Balance
SandRidge should still be able to add to its cash balance despite the deterioration in natural gas prices. I now estimate that SandRidge will end up with around $265 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end of 2022.
It is uncertain what SandRidge's 2023 development plans are yet, but at 2022 production levels and 2023 strip prices it would generate approximately $125 million EBITDA, including the effect of its Q1 2023 natural gas hedges. This doesn't include the potential interest income that it can generate from its cash on hand, given that interest rates are no longer negligible now.
SandRidge should be able to end 2023 with around $9 to $10 per share in cash on hand based on current strip prices.
Estimated Valuation
My outlook for long-term (after 2023) commodity prices remains unchanged. At $70 WTI oil and $4.00 NYMEX gas (after 2023), I now estimate that SandRidge is worth around $20 per share.
As noted above, SandRidge should be able to end 2023 with around $9 to $10 per share in cash. It also reported proved developed reserves with a PV-10 of $433 million at the end of 2021 based on lower prices ($66.56 oil and $3.60 gas). SandRidge's development program in 2022 should be able to keep its reserve value (at those prices) at least stable, although it may invest less in 2023 development.
