- Included in the Company's Q2 2020 results are $2,539 million in impairment charges related to the lower average trailing 12-month commodity pricing ("SEC Pricing").

- Q2 2020 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined and reconciled below) of $441 million; Adjusted EBITDA net of non-controlling interest of $414 million
- Standalone liquidity of $1.9 billion as of June 30, 2020
- Lowering LOE and G&A unit guidance by a combined $0.35 per BOE at the midpoint of each guidance range, implying estimate of total cash cost savings of over $38 million for full year 2020
- Current drilling and completion costs in the Midland Basin are between $450 and $500 per lateral foot, with an estimated additional $80 to $100 of equip costs per lateral foot
- Current drilling and completion costs in the Delaware Basin are between $650 and $700 per lateral foot, with an estimated additional $100 to $150 of equip costs per lateral foot
- Completed a four well pad in Spanish Trail in 10.5 days, completing approximately 4,000 lateral feet per day using 25% recycled water versus prior completions at 1,500 to 2,000 lateral feet per day
- Using new rotary steerable technology, Diamondback set a Permian Basin record for most footage drilled in a 24 hour period with 8,150 lateral feet drilled in 24 hours
- Reduced flaring as a percentage of net production to 0.3%, down 82% from Q1 2020 and down 84% from 2019
- Q2 2020 average production of 176.3 MBO/d (294.1 MBOE/d)
- Q2 2020 cash capital expenditures of $562 million; Q2 2020 activity-based capital expenditures incurred of approximately $348 million
- Q2 2020 average realized hedged prices of $35.21 per barrel of oil, $7.17 per barrel of natural gas liquids and $0.33 per Mcf of natural gas, resulting in a total equivalent price of $22.95 per BOE. Diamondback realized total hedging gains of $211 million in the second quarter, including $11 million of realized gains from the early termination of 10.0 MBO/d of Q3 2020 oil hedges
- Q2 2020 average unhedged realized prices of $21.99 per barrel of oil, $7.17 per barrel of natural gas liquids and $0.63 per Mcf of natural gas, resulting in a total equivalent price of $15.39 per BOE
- Drilled 58 gross operated horizontal wells and turned 15 wells to production in the second quarter, with nine wells turned to production in April, six in May and zero in June
- Assuming a continuation of current market conditions, Diamondback plans to operate between five and six operated drilling rigs and between three and four completion crews for the remainder of 2020
Mr. Stice continued, “Diamondback is expected to generate significant free cash flow in the second half of 2020 and in 2021 at current forward commodity prices. Under a maintenance capital scenario next year, should that become the base case operating plan, Diamondback can hold expected fourth quarter 2020 oil production flat while spending 25% - 35% less than 2020’s capital budget, including lower midstream and infrastructure budgets. We remain focused on returning capital through our quarterly dividend while protecting our balance sheet, and continue to drill, complete and produce barrels with the highest margins at best-in-class capital and operating metrics.”
OPERATIONS UPDATE
During the second quarter of 2020, Diamondback drilled 37 gross horizontal wells in the Midland Basin and 21 gross horizontal wells in the Delaware Basin. The Company turned ten operated horizontal wells to production in the Midland Basin and five operated horizontal wells in the Delaware Basin. The average lateral length for the wells completed during the second quarter was 11,256 feet. Operated completions during the second quarter consisted of four Wolfcamp A wells, four Lower Spraberry wells, two Wolfcamp B wells, two Middle Spraberry wells, one Second Bone Spring well, one Third Bone Spring well and one Jo Mill well.
In the first half of 2020, the Company drilled 151 gross horizontal wells and turned 95 operated horizontal wells to production. The average lateral length for wells completed during the first six months of 2020 was 9,987 feet, and consisted of 51 Wolfcamp A wells, 11 Wolfcamp B wells, 11 Lower Spraberry wells, eight Middle Spraberry wells, six Second Bone Spring wells, five Third Bone Spring wells and three Jo Mill wells.
FINANCIAL UPDATE
Diamondback's second quarter 2020 net loss was $2,393 million, or $15.17 per diluted share. Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP financial measure as defined and reconciled below) was $23 million, or $0.15 per diluted share. Second quarter 2020 net loss includes a non-cash impairment charge of $2.5 billion as a result of the lower SEC Pricing because of the sharp decline in commodity prices.

Second quarter 2020 average unhedged realized prices were $21.99 per barrel of oil, $0.63 per Mcf of natural gas and $7.17 per barrel of natural gas liquids, resulting in a total equivalent unhedged price of $15.39/BOE.

(2) The volumes presented are based on actual results and are not calculated using the rounded numbers in the table above.
(3) Hedged prices reflect the effect of our commodity derivative transactions on our average sales prices. Our calculation of such effects includes realized gains and losses on cash settlements for commodity derivatives, which we do not designate for hedge accounting.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income plus non-cash loss (gain) on derivative instruments, net, interest expense, net, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, depreciation and interest expense related to equity method investments, impairment related to equity method investments, gain (loss) on revaluation of investment, loss on extinguishment of debt, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, non-cash equity-based compensation expense, other non-cash transactions and provision for income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income as determined by United States’ generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because the measure allows it to more effectively evaluate the Company’s operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. The Company adds the items listed above to net (loss) income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within its industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets.

Operating cash flow before working capital changes, which is a non-GAAP financial measure representing net cash provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP without regard to changes in operating assets and liabilities. The Company believes operating cash flow before working capital changes is an accepted measure of an oil and natural gas company’s ability to generate cash used to fund exploration, development and acquisition activities and service debt or pay dividends. The Company also uses this measure because adjusted operating cash flow relates to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements that the Company may not control and may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred. This allows the Company to compare its operating performance with that of other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure. Operating cash flow before working capital changes should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities as an indicator of operating performance. The Company's computation of operating cash flow before working capital changes may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
