Tim Driggers
Chief Financial Officer
Thank you. Good morning. I am Tim Driggers, CFO. Thanks for joining us. We hope everyone has seen the press release announcing fourth quarter and full year 2013 earnings and operational results. This conference call includes forward-looking statements. The risks associated with forward-looking statements have been outlined in the earnings release and EOG's SEC filings and we incorporate those by reference for this call. This conference call also contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. The reconciliation for these non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures can be found on our website at www.eogresources.com. The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose not only proved reserves, but also probable reserves as well as possible reserves. Some of the reserve estimates on this conference call and webcast may include potential reserves or other estimated reserves not necessarily calculated in accordance with or contemplated by the SEC's reserve reporting guidelines. We incorporate by reference the cautionary note to U.S. investors that appears at the bottom of our press release in Investor Relations page on our website. Participating on the call this morning are, Bill Thomas, Chairman and CEO, Gary Thomas, Chief Operating Officer, Billy Helms, Executive VP, Exploration and Production, Maire Baldwin, Vice President, IR and Jill Miller, Manager, Engineering and acquisitions. An updated IR presentation was posted to our website yesterday evening and we included a guidance for the first quarter and full year 2014 in yesterday's press release. This morning we will discuss topics in the following order. I will start with fourth quarter and full-year net income and discretionary cash flow, Bill Thomas and Billy Helms will review operational results and year-end reserve replacement data, then I will discuss EOG's financials, capital structure and hedge position. Bill will cover EOG's macro view, our 2014 business plan and provide concluding remarks. As outlined in yesterday's press release, for fourth quarter 2013 EOG reported net income of $580 million or $2.12 per share. For investors who are focus on non-GAAP net income to eliminate mark-to-market impacts and certain nonrecurring items as outlined in the press release, EOG's fourth quarter 2013 adjusted net income was $548 million or $2 per share. For the full year 2013, EOG reported net income of $2.2 billion or $8.04 per share and adjusted basis full year net income was $2.25 billion or $8.22 per share. For investors who follow the practice of focusing on non-GAAP discretionary cash flow, EOG's discretionary cash flow for the fourth quarter was $1.9 billion. Using the same methodology for the full year 2013, EOG's discretionary cash flow was $7.4 billion. For the full year 2013, EOG's net cash provided by operating activities exceeded financing investing cash outflows. At December 31, 2013 debt to total cap was 28%. Net debt was reduced by $841 million during 2013, resulting in an ending net debt to total cap ratio of 23%, down from 29% at year-end 2012. I will now turn it over to Bill Thomas to discuss operations.
