HOUSTON, May 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Oasis Petroleum Inc. (NYSE: OAS) ("Oasis" or the "Company") today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and provided an operational update.

Highlights include:

Produced over 50,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("Boepd") for the sixth consecutive quarter, with production of 50,315 Boepd in the first quarter of 2016.
Completed and placed on production 15 gross (12.8 net) operated and 0.3 net non-operated wells in the first quarter of 2016. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had 83 gross operated wells waiting on completion.
Total capital expenditures ("CapEx") were $88.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, a 68% decrease from the first quarter of 2015 and a 3% sequential quarter decrease.
Reduced lease operating expenses ("LOE") per barrel of oil equivalent ("Boe") to $6.78, a 21% decrease from the first quarter of 2015 and a 1% sequential quarter decrease.
Adjusted EBITDA for the Company was $132.9 million in the first quarter of 2016. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net income (loss) and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to Adjusted EBITDA, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
Increased Midstream Services ("OMS") EBITDA by 10%, from $17.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 to $19.5 million in the first quarter of 2016.

"The Oasis team continues to deliver strong results as we enter 2016," said Thomas B. Nusz, Oasis' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We completed 15 gross operated wells during the quarter in the core of the Williston Basin and produced over 50,000 Boepd. We held operating costs basically flat, quarter over quarter, and we drove well costs down to $6.5 million with further improvements in efficiency and market price reductions. We see a path to an additional 5% to 10% reduction in well costs, and we continue to test completion designs that could further enhance recoveries. Our high intensity wells continue to perform in line with our increased type curves, both in and outside of our core acreage. We continue to expect to bring on wells in Wild Basin in the fall of 2016, as our OMS infrastructure build-out remains on schedule."

Mr. Nusz added, "We were free cash flow positive again in the first quarter of 2016, our fourth in a row, including OMS CapEx of $35 million. This is a significant financial accomplishment supported by our operational execution. As we look forward, we remain focused on solid execution and continuing to improve our capital efficiency, while continuing to retain optionality around activity levels and all capital allocation alternatives."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of the Company's financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, exploration expenses and other similar non-cash or non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income (loss) or cash flows as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.

The following table presents reconciliations of the GAAP financial measures of net income (loss) and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and external users of the Company's financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) after adjusting first for (1) the impact of certain non-cash and non-recurring items, including non-cash changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, impairment, and other similar non-cash and non-recurring charges, and then (2) the non-cash and non-recurring items' impact on taxes based on the Company's effective tax rate applicable to those adjusting items in the same period. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is not a measure of net income (loss) as determined by GAAP. The Company defines Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

The following table presents reconciliations of the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and the GAAP financial measure of diluted earnings (loss) per share to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share for the periods presented:
