FORT WORTH, Texas, July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- XTO Energy
Inc. (NYSE:XTO) today reported record production in the second
quarter 2008 of 2.20 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe) per day,
up 29% from the second quarter 2007 level of 1.70 Bcfe per day, and
up 4% sequentially from 2.11 Bcfe per day in first quarter 2008.
Total revenues for the second quarter were $1.94 billion, a 46%
increase from $1.33 billion the prior year. Earnings for the
quarter reached $575 million, or $1.13 per share ($1.11 diluted), a
33% increase from second quarter 2007 earnings of $432 million, or
$0.93 per share ($0.91 diluted). Second quarter 2008 earnings
include the effect of a $22 million non-cash derivative fair value
gain. Excluding this non-cash change, the Company's adjusted
earnings for second quarter 2008 were $553 million, or $1.09 per
share ($1.07 diluted), up 28% compared to second quarter 2007
adjusted earnings of $432 million, or $0.93 per share ($0.91
diluted).(1) Operating income for the quarter was $1.01 billion, a
39% increase from second quarter 2007 operating income of $725
million. Operating cash flow, defined as cash provided by
operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities and
exploration expense, was $1.23 billion, up 41% from 2007 second
quarter comparable operating cash flow of $870 million.(1) Second
quarter 2008 daily gas production averaged 1.80 Bcf, up 35% from
second quarter 2007 daily production of 1.33 Bcf. Daily oil
production for the second quarter was 51.3 thousand barrels, an 11%
increase from the second quarter 2007 level of 46.1 thousand
barrels. During the quarter, natural gas liquids production was
15.6 thousand barrels per day, a 3% increase from the prior year
quarter rate of 15.2 thousand barrels per day. "These outstanding
results highlight a record quarter for XTO and point towards a
unique and profound year of performance for our Company," stated
Bob R. Simpson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "With the
addition of $10.6 billion in hand-picked acquisitions during this
year, our Company is positioned as a leader in growth and financial
performance for years to come. We have built substantial positions
in all of the premier emerging shale plays across the nation ---
the Barnett, Woodford, Fayetteville, Marcellus, Haynesville and
Bakken --- while adding properties to our legacy growth basins.
Daily production volumes for 2008 are on pace to average a
staggering 500 MMcfe above last year. Given our production growth
target of 22% in 2009 and double-digit beyond, XTO now has the
potential to double in size over the course of a four year period.
We own the portfolio to make it happen and, as always, we are
committed to creating value for our shareholders along the way."
Keith A. Hutton, President, further comments, "Each operating
district delivered strong field results during the quarter. In our
legacy Eastern Region, current daily production from the Freestone
Trend is running in excess of 710 MMcfe, continuing its growth
profile that started in 2000 at about 20 MMcfe per day. As a
resource play, this giant field has delivered reserves of more than
3 Tcfe and still has production potential beyond 1 Bcfe per day.
Our team recently completed two new Cotton Valley Lime horizontal
wells in the field at daily rates of 10 MMcfe and 21 MMcfe. In our
leading shale basin, Barnett production increased by 9% from the
prior quarter and is up 50% over the same period last year, in
spite of third-party pipeline restrictions that temporarily limited
volumes. Throughout our core acreage in the basin, results continue
to outperform, with typical wells exceeding 4 MMcf per day in
production. In the emerging Woodford and Fayetteville shales, our
drilling pace has begun to accelerate. Production increased in the
Mid-Continent Region by 5% from the first quarter. Our volumes in
the San Juan Region grew by 7%, up 53% from last year. Overall, XTO
operated an average of 87 drilling rigs for the quarter. Given our
outlook for the remainder of 2008, we are increasing the
development budget to $3.5 billion to accommodate our growth
programs." The average realized gas price for the second quarter
increased 7% to $8.51 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) from $7.94 per
Mcf in second quarter 2007. Natural gas liquids prices averaged
$58.87 per barrel for the quarter, 43% higher than the 2007 quarter
average price of $41.20. The second quarter average oil price was
$90.89 per barrel, a 36% increase from last year's second quarter
average price of $67.03. For the first six months of 2008, the
Company reported earnings of $1.04 billion, or $2.07 per share
($2.04 diluted), compared with earnings of $815 million, or $1.77
per share ($1.74 diluted) for the same 2007 period. Included in
year-to-date 2008 earnings is the effect of a $31 million non-cash
derivative fair value gain. Excluding this non-cash change, the
Company's adjusted earnings were $1.01 billion, or $2.01 per share
($1.98 diluted), up 20% compared to year-to-date 2007 adjusted
earnings of $838 million, or $1.82 per share ($1.79 diluted).(1)
Operating cash flow was $2.29 billion for the first half of 2008,
up 37% compared with $1.67 billion for the 2007 period.(1) Total
revenues for the first six months of 2008 were $3.61 billion, a 44%
increase from revenues of $2.50 billion for the same 2007 period.
Year-to- date operating income was $1.83 billion, a 33% increase

three-month and $30 million in the six-month 2007 periods. (c) The
derivative fair value (gain) loss comprises the change in fair
value of the following derivative financial instruments not
providing effective hedges (in millions): Three Months Ended Six

million in the three-month and $15 million in the six-month 2008
periods, and $7 million in the three-month and $13 million in the
six-month 2007 periods. (e) The current income tax provision
exceeds cash tax expense by the benefit realized upon exercise of
stock options not expensed in the financial statements. This
benefit, which is recorded in additional paid-in capital, was $7
million in the three-month and $69 million for the six-month 2008
periods, and $4 million in the three-month and $17 million for the
six-month 2007 periods. (f) All weighted average common share and
earnings per common share amounts have been adjusted for the
five-for-four stock split effected December 13, 2007. (g) Average
sales prices include realized gains and losses upon cash settlement
of hedge derivatives. Realized gains and losses on non-hedge
derivatives and on the ineffective portion of hedge derivatives are
recorded as a component of derivative fair value (gain) loss (see
(c) above). These non-hedge and ineffective derivative gains and
losses are primarily related to the timing of entering basis swap
agreements and designating them as hedges associated with NYMEX
swaps. Had realized non-hedge and ineffective gains and losses,
attributable to second quarter and six-month production, been
recorded as gas, natural gas liquids and oil revenue, the average
gas, natural gas liquids and oil prices would have been: Three
Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2008 2007 2008 2007
Gas (per Mcf) $8.45 $7.94 $8.09 $7.86 Natural gas liquids (per Bbl)
59.03 41.20 55.96 39.04 Oil (per Bbl) 90.79 67.21 85.74 67.17 (h)
These adjustments are made to current assets, current liabilities
and stockholders' equity because these items are recorded based on
estimated derivative fair values and resulting unrealized gains and
losses. Realized gains and losses will be based on commodity prices
when related future production occurs. Net assets and equity to be
recorded when future production occurs are not included in the
balance sheet. XTO ENERGY INC. (continued) Non-GAAP Financial
Measures Adjusted Earnings Adjusted earnings, a non-GAAP financial
measure, excludes certain items that management believes affect the
comparability of operating results. The Company discloses adjusted
earnings as a useful adjunct to GAAP net income because: --
Management uses adjusted earnings to evaluate the Company's
operational trends and performance relative to other oil and gas
producing companies. -- Adjusted earnings are more comparable to
earnings estimates provided by securities analysts. -- Items
excluded generally are items whose timing or amount cannot be
reasonably estimated. Accordingly, any guidance provided by the
Company generally excludes information regarding these types of
items. The following reconciles GAAP net income to adjusted
earnings: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (in millions, except
per share data) June 30, June 30, (Unaudited) 2008 2007 2008 2007

$1.09 $0.93 $2.01 $1.82 Diluted $1.07 $0.91 $1.98 $1.79 Operating
Cash Flow Operating cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is
defined as cash provided by operating activities before changes in
operating assets and liabilities and exploration expense. Because
changes in operating assets and liabilities and exploration expense
are excluded, this cash flow statistic is different from cash
provided by operating activities, as disclosed under GAAP.
Management believes operating cash flow is a better liquidity
indicator for oil and gas producers because of the adjustments made
to cash provided by operating activities, explained as follows: --
Adjustment for changes in operating assets and liabilities
eliminates fluctuations primarily related to the timing of cash
receipts and disbursements, which can vary from period-to-period
because of conditions the Company cannot control (for example, the
day of the week on which the last day of the period falls), and
results in attributing cash flow to operations of the period that
provided the cash flow. -- Adjustment for exploration expense is to
provide an amount comparable to operating cash flow for full cost
companies and to eliminate the effect of a discretionary
expenditure that is part of the Company's capital budget.
Management uses operating cash flow not only for measuring the
Company's cash flow and liquidity, but also in evaluating the
Company against other oil and gas producing companies and valuing
potential producing property acquisitions. The following reconciles
cash provided by operating activities, the GAAP cash flow measure,
to operating cash flow: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (in
