Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K was filed by Halcón Resources Corporation (not Battalion Oil Corp) on May 2, 2018. The filing serves to report the Company's financial results for the first quarter of 2018 via a press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. It references a press release (Exhibit 99.1) containing these details, including non-GAAP measures such as adjusted net income, earnings per share, EBITDA, and cash flow from operations, but the figures themselves are not present in the provided text.
Material Changes
The filing text does not contain specific data regarding material changes versus the prior comparable period. It notes that the referenced press release includes reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP measures to facilitate comparisons with prior periods.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing includes standard disclosures regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Management states these measures are intended to help users understand the impact of selected items on reported results and provide beneficial comparisons to prior periods. The text explicitly warns that these measures are not alternatives to GAAP net income or cash flow and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. No specific forward-looking guidance or risk factors are detailed in the provided text.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the actual Q1 2018 financial figures (revenue, net income, EBITDA) in the press release (Exhibit 99.1) referenced in this filing.
- Review the reconciliation tables in the press release to understand the adjustments made to GAAP figures for non-GAAP measures.
- Confirm the company name is Halcón Resources Corporation, as the input metadata incorrectly listed "Battalion Oil Corp."
- Check for any specific "selected items" excluded from non-GAAP calculations to assess the quality of earnings.
