ADMINISTRATION COMMENT

Phil Rykhoek, Denbury’s President and CEO, commented, “We are happy with our first quarter results, as they were generally in line or better than our expectations. We were particularly happy with the reductions we have seen in our base lease operating costs, which on a per-barrel basis were down 7% sequentially and down 18% from year-ago levels. As predictable, our total and tertiary production were essentially flat contrast to levels in the fourth quarter of 2014. Based on our production levels for the first quarter of 2015 and our estimates for the remainder of the year, we feel confident that our original guidance for the full year is achievable. Our innovation and improvement teams have uncovered additional ways to reduce costs and boost operational efficiency, and although many of these will take time to be realized, there are some ideas that are providing near-term benefits. We are more than half complete with our detailed asset-level reviews, and we are encouraged by the findings and accomplishments thus far.

“We recently accomplished our borrowing base redetermination with the lenders under our bank credit facility and amended certain financial covenants in our bank agreement in order to provide us more flexibility if oil prices continue to remain low over the next several years. Due to the lower oil prices used by our banks in their evaluation, our borrowing base was reduced from $3.0 billion to $2.6 billion; however, as we have historically only asked for lender commitments of $1.6 billion, this reduction has no impact on our liquidity. More importantly, we have worked with our lenders to adjust certain covenants, primarily our debt to EBITDAX coverage limit, to put us in a much better covenant position for the next several years if oil prices remain at relatively low levels, while still providing us access to our $1.6 billion credit facility. Although we presently have no issues meeting our covenants, we believe this should provide us adequate flexibility to manage through this lower oil price environment and alleviate any potential concerns around our bank credit facility.

“We have used the recent improvement in oil prices to add to our existing hedging positions in the second and third quarters of 2016. Although we are not looking to hedge all of our production at current levels, we believe it is prudent to start locking in some predictability to our cash flows. Our strategy to secure more predictable future cash flows has been compriseent, and we will continue to look for opportunities to further extend these positions.

“We are off to a great start to this year, and we are excited about the opportunities that lie before us. Our employees are working hard to make Denbury the most efficient it can be, and we are energized by the innovative ideas our employees are generating. Our hedges are providing a noteworthy buffer during this period of lower oil prices, and based on current prices and projections we expect to generate noteworthy excess cash after capital expenditures and dividends in 2015.”
