First Quarter 2024 Highlights
Tom L. Ward, Mach’s Chief Executive Officer, noted, “Our Company was founded on the principle of maximizing distributions through acquiring free cash flowing assets. We have achieved our results-to-date by adhering to low leverage while focusing on our reinvestment rate of under 50%. Our first quarter results mark a positive start to 2024 and the continuation of our plan. Over the years Mach has achieved strong rates on both return on capital employed and cash return on capital invested, revealing a focus on cash returns.”

In the first quarter of 2024, Mach’s total capital expenditures—excluding acquisitions—were $80 million, including $75 million of upstream capital and $5 million of other capital (including midstream and land).
Distributions
Mach announced today that the board of directors of its general partner declared a quarterly cash distribution for the first quarter of 2024 of $0.75 per common unit. The quarterly cash distribution is to be paid on June 10, 2024, to common unitholders of record as of the close of trading on May 28, 2024.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Mach has defined this measure and provided reconciliations of this non-GAAP measure to its most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) at the conclusion of this press release under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Pursuant to regulatory disclosure requirements, Mach is required to reconcile non-GAAP financial measures to the related GAAP information (GAAP refers to generally accepted accounted principles). Such non-GAAP measures are not alternatives to GAAP measures. We include in this press release the supplemental non-GAAP financial performance measures Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Available for Distribution.
These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. Such non-GAAP measures are used as a supplemental financial performance measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies and others, to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and our results of operation from period to period and against our peers without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis. Such non-GAAP measures are not alternatives to GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA
We include in this press release the supplemental non-GAAP financial performance measure Adjusted EBITDA and provide our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, our most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (1) interest expense, net, (2) depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, (3) unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, (4) equity-based compensation expense, (5) credit losses, and (6) (gain) loss on sale of assets.
Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial performance measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies and others, to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and our results of operation from period to period and against our peers without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as indicators of our operating performance. 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 burden, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual items. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Cash Available for Distribution
Cash available for distribution is not a measure of net income or net cash flow provided by or used in operating activities as determined by GAAP. Cash available for distribution is a supplemental non-GAAP financial performance measure used by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies and others, to assess our ability to internally fund our exploration and development activities, pay distributions, and to service or incur additional debt. We define cash available for distribution as net income less (1) interest expense, net, (2) depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, (3) unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, (4) equity-based compensation expense, (5) credit losses, (6) (gain) loss on sale of assets, (7) settlement of asset retirement obligations, (8) cash interest expense, net (9) development costs, and (10) change in accrued realized derivative settlements. Development costs include all of our capital expenditures, other than acquisitions. Cash available for distribution will not reflect changes in working capital balances. Cash available for distribution is not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or net cash provided by or used in operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as indicators of our financial performance and liquidity. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to cash available for distribution are net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Cash available for distribution should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or net cash provided by operating activities.
