News Review – The Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO), Bonanza Creek Energy (NYSE:BCEI), Unit (NYSE:UNT), Energen (NYSE:EGN)

On Tuesday, Shares of The Coca-Cola Co (NYSE:KO), lost -0.09% to $40.97.

The Coca-Cola Company, took another noteworthy step toward building a stronger, more streamlined production system in its flagship market by announcing the formation of a new National Product Supply System (“NPSS”) in the United States. The mission of the NPSS will be to facilitate optimal operation of the U.S. product supply system for Coca-Cola bottlers in order to:

  • Achieve the lowest optimal manufactured and delivered cost for all bottlers in the Coca-Cola system
  • Enable system investment to build sustainable capability and competitive advantage

The Coca-Cola Company is a beverage company. The Company owns or licenses and markets more than 500 nonalcoholic beverage brands, primarily sparkling beverages but also a range of still beverages, such as waters, improved waters, juices and juice drinks, ready-to-drink teas and coffees, and energy and sports drinks.

Shares of Bonanza Creek Energy Inc (NYSE:BCEI), inclined 12.88% to $7.01, during its last trading session, as oil prices jump on forecasts for a decline in supplies.

The Energy Information Administration said that production of U.S. crude reduced by 120,000 barrels per day in September from August, with the U.S. producing 9 million barrels per day last month, the lowest level in a year, the Wall Street Journal reports.

On a broader scale, OPEC’s Secretary-General Abdalla Salem el-Badri said at a conference recently that global oil investments will be slashed by $130 billion this year, thereby cutting supply and boosting prices, according to the Journal.

Bonanza Creek Energy, Inc. is an energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of onshore oil and associated liquids-rich natural gas in the United States. Its oil and liquids-weighted assets are concentrated primarily in the Wattenberg Field in Colorado, which the Company has designated the Rocky Mountain region and the Dorcheat Macedonia Field in Southern Arkansas, which it has designated the Mid-Continent region.

Shares of Unit Corporation (NYSE:UNT), inclined 31.30% to $18.29, during its last trading session.

Unit Corporation, declared that it is increasing its 2015 year over year production growth guidance for its oil and natural gas segment to 6-8% from its previous guidance of 2-4%. Unit’s 2015 capital expenditures are predictable to be about $30 million less than originally budgeted with the reduction primarily attributable to its oil and natural gas segment.

In its second quarter 2015 earnings release, Unit stated that it had been notified of a customer’s intent to early terminate two of its BOSS drilling rig contracts. Unit is in negotiations with the customer and it appears likely that they will keep one of the BOSS drilling rigs through its remaining term. Unit has recently contracted the other BOSS drilling rig to a third party operator.

Unit’s lenders accomplished their regularly planned semi-annual borrowing base redetermination under its credit agreement. Unit’s borrowing base was determined to be $550 million, which remains above its elected commitment level of $500 million. No other terms under the credit agreement changed as a result of the redetermination and the company is fully in compliance with the financial covenants in the credit agreement. Unit has elected to maintain its elected commitment amount at $500 million, which it believes meets the company’s financing needs during this current commodity cycle. At September 30, 2015, Unit had $261.7 million outstanding under its credit agreement, which is a reduction of $18.8 million from the amount outstanding at June 30, 2015. Unit anticipates its 2016 capital expenditure budget to be within anticipated cash flow.

Unit Corporation (Unit) is an oil and natural gas contract drilling company. In addition to its drilling operations, the Company has operations in the exploration and production and mid-stream areas.
