compression, production and ad valorem taxes) were $1.47 per Mcfe,
including $0.41 per Mcfe in firm transportation expenses.

Benjamin W. Hulburt, Chairman, President and CEO, commented on
the Company’s second quarter 2018 results, “This was another solid
earnings report with our continued focus on execution, innovation
and efficiency, which resulted in the Company delivering what we
believe to be another tremendous quarter with cash flows above
expectations, capital expenditures below expectations, production
above the top end of our guidance range, operating expenses below
the low end of our guidance and continued strong well performance
in both the dry gas and condensate areas of our acreage.
We have continued our relentless pursuit for industry leading
innovation, and have set a new internal record for production on
our recent Rolland C 5H “super-lateral”, which we drilled to a
total measured depth of 26,027 feet with a 15,285 foot completable
lateral in our Utica Dry Gas area. This well was initially turned
to sales late in the second quarter of 2018 and flowed at a target
rate of approximately 40 Mmcf per day before recently being shut in
for offset operator activity. In addition, we continue to be
excited with the potential for our Flat Castle acreage in north
central Pennsylvania and are currently in the final stages of
completion operations on our first operated well, the Painter 2H,
which we intend to place into sales during the third quarter of
2018.
For the second quarter of 2018, the Company was able to achieve
revenue of $103.6 million, a 20% increase over the second quarter
of 2017, while also posting a 29% increase in adjusted EBITDAX1
over the second quarter of 2017, which came in at $51.1 million. We
continued to capitalize on our industry leading well costs and
operational capabilities, while our per unit cash production costs
of $1.47 were better than our second quarter 2018 guidance. From a
capital spending perspective, the Company is continuing to manage
its plan consistent with the revised $250 million guidance that was
previously provided and we believe that our proven operational
performance, continued gain in efficiency and financial flexibility
leave us well positioned to deliver upon the full year 2018
production guidance that we have issued.
Our strategic and financial review process continues. As we have
previously discussed, there is no timetable for the completion of
the strategic review process nor any assurance that the review
process will result in a transaction or other strategic
alternative. The Company will provide further information when and
if disclosure is appropriate or required.”

we produce significantly impact our revenues and cash flows. Prices
for commodities, such as hydrocarbons, are inherently volatile. The

Capital Expenditures
Second quarter 2018 capital expenditures were $69.3 million,
including $65.6 million for drilling and completions, $5.2 million
for midstream expenditures, $(1.9) million for land-related
expenditures (which include proceeds associated with the sale of
acreage), and $0.4 million for corporate-related expenditures.
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company commenced
drilling 6 gross (2.2 net) operated Utica Shale wells, commenced
completions of 9 gross (4.2 net) operated wells and turned to sales
9 gross (6.2 net) operated wells.
Financial Position and
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s liquidity was $143.4
million, consisting of $12.0 million in cash and cash equivalents
and $131.4 million in available borrowing capacity under the
Company’s revolving credit facility (after giving effect to
outstanding letters of credit issued by the Company of $33.6
million and $60 million in outstanding borrowings).
Matthew R. DeNezza, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, commented, “We are again pleased with the level of EBITDAX
generated in the second quarter and continue to anticipate strong
cash flow growth in the full year 2018. From a pricing perspective,
the gas marketing team was able to capture a strong differential
through the optimization of our natural gas, while continuing to
assume an increase during the second half of 2018 in our operating
expenses associated with the Company’s Rover pipeline capacity
being fully utilized. As a means of providing additional certainty
of cash flows, the majority of our estimated 2018 natural gas
production is hedged with an average floor price of $2.93 per
MMbtu.”
Commodity Derivatives
The Company engages in a number of different commodity trading
program strategies as a risk management tool to attempt to mitigate
the potential negative impact on cash flows caused by price
fluctuations in natural gas, NGL and oil prices. Below is a table
that illustrates the Company’s hedging activities as of
June 30, 2018:

Adjusted Revenue
Adjusted revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company
defines adjusted revenue as follows: total revenues plus net cash
receipts or payments on settled derivative instruments less
brokered natural gas and marketing revenue. The Company believes
adjusted revenue provides investors with helpful information with
respect to the performance of the Company’s operations and
management uses adjusted revenue to evaluate its ongoing operations
and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. See the table
below, which reconciles adjusted revenue and total revenues.

Adjusted Net Income
(Loss)
Adjusted net income (loss) represents income (loss) before
income taxes adjusted for certain non-cash items as set forth in
the table below. We believe adjusted net income (loss) is used by
many investors and published research in making investment
decisions and evaluating operational trends of the Company and its
performance relative to other oil and gas producing companies.
Adjusted net income (loss) is not a measure of net income (loss) as
determined by GAAP. See the table below for a reconciliation of
adjusted net income (loss) and net income (loss).

Adjusted EBITDAX
Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP measure that is used
by the Company to evaluate its financial results. The Company
defines Adjusted EBITDAX as net income or loss before interest
expense; income taxes; impairments; depreciation, depletion and
amortization (“DD&A”); gain (loss) on derivative instruments,
net cash receipts (payments on settled derivative instruments, and
premiums (paid) received on options that settled during the
period); non-cash compensation expense; gain or loss from sale of
interest in gas properties; exploration expenses; and other unusual
or infrequent items set forth in the table below. Adjusted EBITDAX
is not a measure of net income or loss as determined by GAAP. See
the table below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAX to net
income or net loss.

Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to,
