MANAGEMENT COMMENTS
Bob Gerrity, Vitesse’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In our first quarter as a fully integrated, publicly traded company, we returned capital to our stockholders. During the quarter, we paid our fixed dividend and modestly increased production through organic capex and planned near term development opportunities, while reducing debt. Our financial and operating results reflect the significant cash flow our business generates as we apply our returns-based capital allocation strategy.”
STOCKHOLDER RETURNS
On February 13, 2023, Vitesse’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend for Vitesse’s common stock of $0.50 per share for stockholders of record as of March 15, 2023, which was paid on March 31, 2023. Additionally, Vitesse’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $60 million of the Company’s common stock. As the Company continues to focus on its goal of maximizing total stockholder return, we believe that a share repurchase program is complementary to the dividend and is a tax efficient means to further improve stockholder return.
In the first quarter of 2023, Vitesse repurchased $0.2 million of common stock at an average share price of $16.98.
In May 2023, Vitesse’s Board of Directors declared its second quarterly cash dividend for Vitesse’s common stock of $0.50 per share for stockholders of record as of June 15, 2023, which will be paid on June 30, 2023. Subject to Board approval, contractual restrictions and applicable law, Vitesse currently intends to pay quarterly dividends of $0.50 per share for the foreseeable future.
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS
First quarter net loss of $47.8 million reflecting $77.4 million of charges associated with the Spin-Off, including (i) a one-time non-cash income tax expense of $44.1 million related to a change in corporate tax status, (ii) an acceleration of $26.8 million of non-cash equity-based compensation expense, and (iii) non-recurring transaction costs of $6.5 million.
First quarter Adjusted Net Income was $15.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $40.1 million, an increase of 6% over the first quarter of 2022. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Oil and gas production for the first quarter of 2023 averaged 11,524 Boe per day, an increase of 20% from the first quarter of 2022. Oil represented 67% of production and 87% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2023. Total revenue, including the effects of our realized hedges, for the first quarter of 2023 was $58.7 million compared to $52.1 million for the first quarter of 2022, despite a 20% drop in WTI oil price and a 42% drop in Henry Hub natural gas price.
Vitesse’s realized oil and natural gas prices before hedging were $72.95 per Bbl and $3.61 per Mcf, respectively, during the first quarter of 2023. Vitesse hedges a portion of its oil production to reduce the impact of price volatility on its financial results. In the first quarter, the Company’s realized oil price with hedging was $74.02 per Bbl.
Lease operating expenses in the first quarter of 2023 were $9.1 million, or $8.75 per Boe, an increase of 17% on a per unit basis compared to the first quarter of 2022. The higher lease operating expense was primarily related to increased workover activity and inflationary pressure on service costs.
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $10.9 million, which included $6.5 million of costs related to the Spin-Off. Excluding these costs, G&A would have been $4.16 per Boe, an increase of 26% on a per unit basis compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increase in G&A expense per Boe, excluding the Spin-Off costs, was primarily due to higher costs associated with being a public company.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
As of March 31, 2023, Vitesse had $3.4 million in cash and $45.0 million of borrowings outstanding on its revolving credit facility. Vitesse had total liquidity of $128.4 million as of March 31, 2023, consisting of cash and committed borrowing availability under its revolving credit facility. On May 2, 2023 Vitesse amended its revolving credit facility in conjunction with the regular semi-annual borrowing base redetermination that reduced the borrowing base from $265 million to $245 million, primarily related to lower commodity prices, and reaffirmed elected commitments at $170 million, among other items.
During the quarter, Vitesse spent $21.6 million on development capital expenditures and $1.1 million on acquisitions of oil and gas properties.
OPERATIONS UPDATE
As of March 31, 2023, there were 43 drilling rigs operating in the Williston Basin of which 18 were drilling on acreage in which Vitesse owns an interest. The Company owned an interest in 276 gross (7.2 net) wells that were either drilling or in the completion phase, and another 408 gross (10.1 net) locations that had been permitted for development at the end of the quarter.

This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and future results that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this release regarding Vitesse’s financial position, operating and financial performance, development pace and drilling inventory, business strategy, dividend plans and practices, guidance, Vitesse’s share repurchase program, plans and objectives of management for future operations, and industry conditions are forward-looking statements. When used in this release, forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by terms or phrases such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “target,” “could,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “goal,” “will,” “should,” “may” or other words and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Items contemplating or making assumptions about actual or potential future production and sales, market size, collaborations, and trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond Vitesse’s control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the following: changes in oil and natural gas prices; the pace of drilling and completions activity on Vitesse’s properties; Vitesse’s ability to acquire additional development opportunities; potential acquisition transactions; integration and benefits of property acquisitions, or the effects of such acquisitions on Vitesse’s cash position and levels of indebtedness; changes in Vitesse’s reserves estimates or the value thereof; disruptions to Vitesse’s business due to acquisitions and other significant transactions; infrastructure constraints and related factors affecting Vitesse’s properties; cost inflation or supply chain disruption; ongoing legal disputes over and potential shutdown of the Dakota Access Pipeline; the COVID-19 pandemic and its related economic repercussions and effect on the oil and natural gas industry; the impact of general economic or industry conditions, nationally and/or in the communities in which Vitesse conducts business, including central bank policy actions, bank failures and associated liquidity risks; changes in the interest rate environment, legislation or regulatory requirements; conditions of the securities markets; Vitesse’s ability to raise or access capital; cyber-related risks; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; and financial or political instability, health-related epidemics, acts of war (including the armed conflict in Ukraine) or terrorism, and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting Vitesse’s operations, products and prices.

Risk Factors” and other sections of Vitesse’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as updated from time to time in amendments and subsequent reports filed with the SEC, which describe factors that could cause Vitesse’s actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
Vitesse has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and assumptions about future events. While management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Vitesse’s control. Vitesse does not undertake any duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as may be required by the federal securities laws.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Vitesse defines Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) before (i) non-cash gains and losses on unsettled derivative instruments, (ii) non-cash unit-based compensation, and (iii) certain items we consider non-routine in nature, including non-cash oil and natural gas property impairments and material general and administrative costs related to the Spin-Off; reduced by the estimated impact of income tax expense.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before expenses for interest, income taxes, depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion, and excludes non-cash unit-based compensation and non-cash gains and losses on unsettled derivative instruments in addition to certain items we consider non-routine in nature, including non-cash oil and natural gas property impairments and material general and administrative costs related to the Spin-Off.
Management believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of financial performance. Specifically, management believes the non-GAAP financial measures included herein provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that management believes are not indicative of Vitesse’s core operating results. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring Vitesse’s performance, and management believes it is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes.
