Denbury: A Deep Dive Into Financial Metrics, Liquidity Concerns, And Investment Potential

Summary Denbury Inc.'s balance sheet shows growth in total assets and stockholders' equity, but also a significant increase in long-term debt and deferred tax liabilities. The company's focus on carbon capture technologies and sustainability aligns with the increasing demand for reducing emissions. However, Denbury's heavy reliance on oil prices and declining net income pose risks for investors, making a cautious "Hold" stance advisable. The company is trading at a low P/E ratio relative to near-term earnings growth. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Exxon Mobil Pays A Fair Price For Its $4.9 Billion Acquisition Of Denbury

Summary Exxon Mobil's $4.9 billion acquisition of Denbury appears to be at a fair price and in-line with my prior estimates of Denbury's value in a long-term low-$70s WTI oil environment. The deal involves only a slight premium to Denbury's share price, but is likely to be approved by Denbury's shareholders. A large amount of shares is owned by former noteholders. Denbury's shareholders will now receive dividends for their shares after the deal closes, and will have a more liquid market to sell their shares if they choose to. Denbury shares are also pricing in a closing date in the second-half of Q4 2023. Deal is only a minor one for Exxon Mobil given its large size as its share count will increase by approximately 1.1%.

Denbury gains amid renewed Exxon takeover speculation

Denbury (NYSE:DEN) rose 1.7% after some speculation that Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) may still be interested in an acquisition. "There is a belief that Denbury might be something that Exxon is still interested in," CNBC's David Faber said earlier Thursday on the network. "Maybe the bid ask is too far off." Faber comments come as Denbury (DEN) CEO Chris Kendall is to set appear on Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" show on CNBC on Thursday night. Faber didn't cite any sources for his speculation. Bloomberg reported in October that Exxon (XOM) was considering a takeover of Denbury. Denbury (DEN) has been the subject of recent speculation, including a Bloomberg report in August that the company was exploring options including a possible sale. About month ago a Bank of America analyst moved his  rating to underperform on Denbury (DEN) writing that M&A  doesn't appear to be imminent. BofA highlighted that since the speculation there have been no additional headlines on possible M&A.

Denbury partners with Weyerhaeuser for a CO2 sequestration site in Mississippi

Denbury (NYSE:DEN) and Weyerhaeuser (NYSE:WY) on Monday announced an agreement for the evaluation and potential development of a CO2 sequestration site in Mississippi. The lease agreement will provide Denbury with exclusive right to develop and operate approximately 16,000 acres of subsurface pore space owned by Weyerhaeuser in Simpson and Copiah Counties. The site, with an estimated sequestration capacity of 275 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, is located directly adjacent to Denbury's NEJD Pipeline in Mississippi. Denbury plans to utilize the site to permanently sequester industrial CO2 in secure underground geologic formations, and Weyerhaeuser will continue to manage the timberland acreage as a sustainable working forest. Denbury said intends to drill a stratigraphic test well in 2023 at the site.

Buy Denbury As The EOR Market Is Growing

Summary In Q3 2022, Denbury Inc. reported adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDAX of $102 million and $161 million, respectively. The company’s financial results were significantly stronger than in Q3 2022; however, not as strong as in Q2 2022. Oil prices are expected to remain high, supporting the company’s EOR and CCUS projects. Due to the enlarging enhanced oil recovery market, DEN is well-positioned to make huge profits in the coming years. Denbury Inc. (DEN) is an independent energy company with operations and assets focused on Carbon Capture, Use and Storage ((CCUS)) and Enhanced Oil Recovery ((EOR)) in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions. Due to hiked oil prices, the company was able to report strong quarterly results in 1Q-3Q 2022. Oil prices in the fourth quarter of 2022 are lower than in the first three quarters of the year. Thus, DEN cannot benefit from the oil prices in 4Q 2022 as much as it did in the first nine months of the year. However, it is important to know that compared with 4Q 2021, oil prices are still significantly high and are expected to increase in 2023. Also, the Inflation Reduction Act, which was signed into law in August 2022, incentivized DEN’s EOR and CCUS projects. The stock is a buy. Quarterly results In its 3Q 2022 financial results, DEN reported total revenues of $439 million, compared with $344 million in the same period last year. The company’s oil sales increased from $305 million in 3Q 2021 to $390 million in 3Q 2022. DEN’s total expenses decreased from $261 million in 3Q 2021 to $148 million in 3Q 2022, driven by commodity derivatives income of $109 million, partially offset by higher lease operating expenses, higher oil marketing purchases, higher general and administrative expenses, and higher taxes other than income. The company’s net income increased from $83 million in 3Q 2021 to $250 million in 3Q 2022. In the third quarter of 2022, DEN reported non-cash fair value gains on commodity derivatives of $165 million. DEN’s adjusted net income in the third quarter of 2022 was $102 million. DEN reported an adjusted EBITDAX of $161 million in the third quarter of 2022. The company's net cash from operating activities increased from $104 million in 3Q 2021 to $156 million in 3Q 2022. Also, its net cash investing activities increased from $63 million in 3Q 2021 to $105 million in 3Q 2022. DEN’s oil sales decreased from 48145 Bbls/s in 3Q 2021 to 45639 Bbls/d in 3Q 2022. The company’s natural gas sales decreased from 9222 Mcf/d in 3Q 2021 to 8815 Mcf/d in 3Q 2022. Excluding derivative settlements, DEN’s oil average realized price increased from $68.88 per barrel in 3Q 2021 to $92.77 per barrel in 3Q 2022. Also, the company’s natural gas average realized price increased from $3.96 per million cubic feet in 3Q 2021 to $7.00 per million cubic feet in 3Q 2022. DEN’s cash flow deficit of $23 million on 30 September 2021, turned into a free cash flow of $47 million on 30 September 2022. The company reported total capital expenditures of $119 million in 3Q 2022, compared with $101 million in 3Q 2021. “Our great progress in both the EOR production and CCUS businesses advanced significant value creation at Denbury during the third quarter,” the CEO commented in the release, and continued: “Despite persistent supply chain challenges and inflationary pressures, our teams have continued to execute safely and efficiently across the Company. This operational momentum, combined with continued progress at the CCA EOR development, sets a great foundation for our business for years into the future,” he continued. The market outlook Driven by oil development activities, particularly the development of the company’s Cedar Creek Anticline ((CCA)) EOR project in Montana and North Dakota, DEN’s capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2022 are expected to be higher than in the third quarter. The company’s CCA EOR project production response is anticipated in 2H 2023. DEN expects its 4Q 2022 capital expenditures to be $135 million. The company reported total sales of 47109 BOE/d and 46866 BOE/d for the quarter ending 30 September 2022 and nine months ending 30 September, respectively. Due to incremental production from multiple projects in the company’s 2022 capital program, DEN expects its 4Q 2022 sales volumes to be between 47,500 to 49,000 BOE/d, with the midpoint up 2.5% from 3Q 2022. “These predicted fourth quarter 2022 sales volumes are slightly lower than original expectations due to timing associated with equipment and materials delays, which should benefit production in early 2023,” the company explained. According to Grand View Research, the global EOR market size, which is valued at $38.83 billion in 2021, is expected to grow with a CAGR of 7.8% from 2022 to 2023 to reach $76.78 billion in 2022. Also, according to Stratview Research, the carbon capture and storage market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 5.71% during 2022-2028, reaching $5.04 billion in 2028. It is important to know that North America has the largest market share in the carbon capture and storage market (more than 31% in 2021). DEN’s current portfolio of CO2 EOR and CCUS projects, increase its oil production significantly and improve its reserves. Moreover, the Inflation Reduction Act that that signed into law in August 2022 incentivized EOR and CCUS projects by 70%. The recently approved enhancements to the 45Q tax incentives available for carbon capture have significantly expanded the market opportunity for DEN (see Figure 1).
