			NEWS RELEASE

 

MATADOR RESOURCES COMPANY ANNOUNCES INCREASED BORROWING BASE AND ACREAGE ACQUISITIONS AND PROVIDES AN OPERATIONAL UPDATE

DALLAS, Texas, June 5, 2013 – Matador Resources Company (NYSE: MTDR) (“Matador” or the “Company”), an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development, production and acquisition of oil and natural gas resources, with a particular emphasis on oil and natural gas shale plays and other unconventional plays and with a current focus on its Eagle Ford operations in South Texas and its Delaware Basin operations in Southeast New Mexico and West Texas, today provided an update on various aspects of its operations.

Matador announced an increase in its borrowing base to $280 million based on its lenders’ review of the Company’s proved oil and natural gas reserves at March 31, 2013, as well as the results of several recently completed wells. At June 5, 2013, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $230 million. Matador expects additional increases to its borrowing base as the result of anticipated increases in its proved oil and natural gas reserves throughout 2013.

The Company continues to build its leasehold position in Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. In May 2013, the Company acquired approximately 3,500 gross and 2,300 net acres primarily in Lea and Eddy Counties, New Mexico. This additional acreage gives Matador a total of 34,100 gross and 22,500 net acres in Southeast New Mexico and West Texas, of which the Company considers approximately 26,400 gross and 20,400 net acres to be prospective for the Wolfcamp, Bone Spring and other oil and liquids-rich targets.

Matador’s operations are progressing as outlined in the Company’s first quarter earnings release provided on May 8, 2013. As expected, the Company completed and has begun producing oil and natural gas from seven operated and two non-operated Eagle Ford shale wells in the second quarter of 2013. Three operated wells on the Company’s Cowey lease in DeWitt County, Texas were completed and turned to sales in mid-May. Four operated wells completed on Matador’s Martin Ranch lease in LaSalle County were placed on production in late May. The Company has drilled three additional wells from a single pad on its Sickenius lease in Karnes County, but these wells will not be completed until late June and will not be placed on production until early July. Initial production results from the seven operated wells completed during the second quarter met or exceeded the Company’s expectations, including its first 40-acre infill test at Martin Ranch.

In New Mexico, Matador has drilled its first well in the Delaware Basin in Lea County, where it successfully collected extensive petrophysical data, including a 182-ft whole core in the Wolfcamp section. The well appears to have multiple completion targets, and the Company plans to complete the well later in the summer once more of its petrophysical and core analyses

have been completed. The Company is currently drilling its second test well in Lea County; the primary target of this well is the Second Bone Spring. At June 5, 2013, Matador had two contracted drilling rigs operating – one in Lea County, New Mexico and one in LaSalle County, Texas.

Joseph Wm. Foran, Matador’s Chairman, President and CEO, commented, “We are very pleased that our Eagle Ford wells continue to meet or exceed our expectations. We are also very pleased to continue building our acreage position in the Delaware Basin in New Mexico and West Texas and are encouraged by the petrophysical data collected on our first well in Lea County. We will continue to execute our initial three-well test program in the Delaware Basin as planned, but are considering whether to leave one rig operating in New Mexico throughout the remainder of the year given our growing acreage position in the area. We continue to be very satisfied with our recent Eagle Ford results and believe these results reflect the continued progress we are making in our completion and production operations. Finally, we are pleased to announce the increase in our borrowing base, which will allow us to continue executing our ongoing drilling programs in South Texas and the Delaware Basin. Through the first five months of 2013, our entire results have exceeded our initial expectations entering the year and remain consistent with our updated guidance released on May 8, 2013. We continue to note, however, that our production and financial results from period to period are likely to be uneven and subject to various operating conditions and operating practices followed by Matador. That said, we are all excited about our progress and the outlook for the rest of the year.”

48 Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation This investor presentation includes the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. “GAAP” means Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA helps it evaluate its operating performance and compare its results of operations from period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depletion, depreciation and amortization, accretion of asset retirement obligations, property impairments, unrealized derivative gains and losses, certain other non-cash items and non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and net gain or loss on asset sales and inventory impairment. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income (loss) or net cash provided by operating activities as determined by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) or net cash provided by operating activities 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 of understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. The following table presents the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measures of net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities, respectively, that are of a historical nature. Where references are forward-looking or prospective in nature, and not based on historical fact, the table does not provide a reconciliation. The Company could not provide such reconciliation without undue hardship because the forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA numbers included in this investor presentation are estimations, approximations and/or ranges. In addition, it would be difficult for the Company to present a detailed reconciliation on account of many unknown variables for the reconciling items.

50 PV-10 Reconciliation PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure and generally differs from Standardized Measure, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because it does not include the effects of income taxes on future net revenues. PV-10 is not an estimate of the fair market value of the Company’s properties. Matador and others in the industry use PV-10 as a measure to compare the relative size and value of proved reserves held by companies and of the potential return on investment related to the companies’ properties without regard to the specific tax characteristics of such entities. The PV-10 at March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 may be reconciled to the Standardized Measure of discounted future net cash flows at such dates by reducing PV-10 by the discounted future income taxes associated with such reserves. The discounted future income taxes at March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were, in millions, $31.1, $28.6, $42.2, $33.2, $8.8, $5.3 and $0.8 respectively. We have not provided a reconciliation of PV-10 to Standardized Measure where references are forward- looking, estimates or prospective in nature. We could not provide such a reconciliation without undue hardship on account of many unknown variables for the reconciling items. We have not provided a reconciliation of PV-10 to Standardized Measure with respect to proved producing reserves because such PV- 10 values are subsets of the PV-10 of our total proved reserves.
