Endeavour Announces First Quarter 2011 Financial and Operational Results
By Endeavour International Corporation, PRNETuesday, May 3, 2011
HOUSTON, May 4, 2011 - Endeavour International Corporation (NYSE: END) (LSE: ENDV) today
reported adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2011 was $4.1 million
compared to $9.7 million in the first quarter of 2010. On a GAAP basis, net
loss was $(7.5) million for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to $(15.2)
million for the same quarter in 2010.
"Since the beginning of the year, Endeavour has achieved several major
milestones with respect to its development programs in the United Kingdom and
continued to progress its growing U.S. portfolio. The deployment of
infrastructure for the Bacchus oil field moves the project closer to first
production this year while our agreement on the commercial terms for the
Rochelle development allows us to begin construction of the production
facilities necessary to bring additional gas production on line in 2012,"
said William L. Transier, chairman, chief executive officer and president.
"The successful conclusion of our equity offering during the quarter and the
subsequent redemption of our 6% Senior Notes is a significant step in our
financial plan, positioning the company to further simplify its capital
structure and deliver production growth in 2011 and beyond."
Highlights since the beginning of the year include:
Executed a Successful Equity Offering and Redeemed the 6% Senior Notes -
The Company completed a public equity offering of 11.5 million shares of its
common stock at a price of $11.00 per share for total proceeds of $116.8
million, net of underwriting fees and expenses. The offering closed on March
29, 2011. Endeavour used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to
redeem all $81.25 million of its 6% Convertible Senior Notes due 2012 on
April 20, 2011.
Achieved Field Development Plan Approval and Agreed to Commercial Terms
with the Scott Platform Owners for Rochelle Production - Endeavour, operator
of the Rochelle field, announced the agreement of commercial terms for the
processing and transportation of East Rochelle production on the Scott
Platform in the Central North Sea. The Field Development Plan for East
Rochelle calling for the subsea development to be linked by a 30-kilometer
pipeline to production facilities on the Scott platform was approved by the
United Kingdom's Department of Energy and Climate Change in February. First
production from East Rochelle is currently planned for the second half of
2012.
Continuing Progress of Bacchus Field Development - The installation of a
6.5 kilometer pipeline connecting the Bacchus field to the Forties Alpha
platform was successfully completed during the quarter. The rig that will
drill the three production wells is expected to move, from its current
position in the Forties Field, to the Bacchus location in May. Production
from the field is currently expected to commence during the third quarter
with a ramp up to peak production toward the end of the year.
On-going Drilling Activity in the U.S. Shale Plays - Endeavour drilled
five wells in its Haynesville and Cotton Valley plays located in Louisiana
and East Texas, respectively. These wells are expected to be completed and
brought on production in the next two months, as the Company continues to
maintain a two-rig program in the area. In the Pennsylvania Marcellus,
Endeavour successfully drilled and cased two horizontal wells in Cameron
County. These wells will be completed later this year while efforts continue
to expand the existing pipeline gathering infrastructure.
Amended the Terms of the 11.5% Convertible Bonds - The Company amended
the terms of its 11.5% Convertible Bonds due 2014. The maturity date for the
securities was extended from January 2014 to January 2016 and the interest
rate payable after March 2014 was reduced from 11.5% to 7.5%. The amendment
also moves the date at which the bond holders have the right to demand first
payment and the date at which the conversion price could be reset to market
from the original date of January 2012 to the maturity date of January 2016.
Completed Transfer from the NYSE Amex to the NYSE Main Market - Endeavour
completed its transfer from the NYSE Amex to the NYSE Main Market on March
15, 2011. The Company continues to trade under the ticker symbol "END" in the
United States.

Additional information for investors:
Certain statements in this news release should be regarded as
"forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the securities laws. These
statements speak only as of the date made. Such statements are subject to
assumptions, risk and uncertainty. Actual results or events may vary
materially.
As of January 1, 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
changed its rules to permit oil and gas companies, in their filings with the
SEC, to disclose not only proved reserves, but also probable reserves and
possible reserves. Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil
and gas, which, by analysis of geosciences and engineering data, can be
estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible - from a
given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic
conditions, operating methods, and government regulations - prior to the time
at which contracts providing the right to operate expire. Probable reserves
include those additional reserves that a company believes are as likely as
not to be recovered and possible reserves include those additional reserves
that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. We use may use
certain terms in our news releases, such as "reserve potential," that the
SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC.
In addition, we do not represent that the probable or possible reserves
described herein meet the recoverability thresholds established by the SEC in
its new definitions. Investors are urged to also consider closely the
disclosure in our filings with the SEC, available from our website at
www.endeavourcorp.com. Endeavour is also subject to the requirements
of the London Stock Exchange and considers the disclosures in this release
to be appropriate and/or required under the guidelines of that exchange.

(1) We record oil revenues using the sales method, i.e. when delivery has
occurred. Actual production may differ based on the timing of tanker
liftings. We use the entitlements method to account for sales of gas
production.
(2) Physical production may differ from sales volumes based on the timing
of tanker liftings for our international sales.
(3) The average sales prices include gains and losses for derivative
contracts we utilize to manage price risk related to our future cash

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
(Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands)
As required under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, provided below are reconciliations of net income (loss) to the
following non-GAAP financial measures: net income, as adjusted and
Adjusted EBITDA. We use these non-GAAP measures as key metrics for
our management and to demonstrate our ability to internally fund
capital expenditures and service debt. The non-GAAP measures are
useful in comparisons of oil and gas exploration and production
companies as they exclude non-operating fluctuations in assets and
liabilities.
