VVEY Victory Energy Corporation Doubles in Size
On Track for Growth with Permian Basin Properties
Victory Energy Corporation, (Victory Energy) (OTCQB: VYEY), an independent, growth-oriented oil and gas company, today announced it will double in size for the 2013 fiscal year and is poised for significant growth with currently held Permian Basin properties. Undiscounted proved reserves are expected to exceed $6.6 million for the 2013 reporting period, delivering a significant impact on current and future revenue. Victory Energy also released historical restated financials and a new investor presentation on the company website.
GROWTH OF THE COMPANY
2012 - 2013 Comparables (includes Q4 estimates)
100 percent increase in mineral and drilling funding ($1 million vs. $2 million)
97 percent increase in undiscounted proved reserve value ($3.3 million vs. $6.2 million)
106 percent increase in revenue ($326,000 vs. $674,000)
130 percent increase in oil as a percent of revenue (18 percent vs. 41 percent)
In August 2013, Victory Energy announced a major increase in proved reserves and declared the company on track to reach an inflection point for growth and sustainable profitability. The claim was based on two key aspects: the significant improvements made during the first half of 2013 and expectations for the end of the year. “We are happy to report that our claim has been validated by the performance data. Every major 2013 goal was achieved and our current properties offer the near-term opportunity to double these key metrics again.” said Kenny Hill, CEO of Victory Energy.
INVESTOR PRESENTATION NOW AVAILABLE
Victory Energy has posted a new investor presentation on its website at www.vyey.com. The presentation includes a detailed review of the 2013 calendar year, a review of major properties in the portfolio and a look forward to the 2014 through 2015 periods. The presentation also discusses a multimillion-dollar capital raising effort with its partner Navitus Energy Group. Victory Energy anticipates the next $2.7 million of E&P capital to be invested on new wells at its Permian Basin Lightnin’ property. Based on the economics of currently producing wells at this property, Victory Energy estimates an additional $10 million of undiscounted proved reserves created from this single investment. Additional Permian properties are being evaluated for acquisition.
FINANCIAL REPORTING STATUS
Victory Energy had an outstanding 2013 performance in the areas of proved reserves, increases in cash flow and acquisition of new properties for future drilling. However, the company encountered some issues at the end of 2012 related to SEC financial reporting from prior years. After discussions with the SEC, the company determined that the non-controlling interest of its partner, Navitus Energy Group, should be separately stated on the face of the consolidated financial statements in addition to being discussed in footnote disclosure for the 2011 and 2012 reporting periods. “I’m happy to report the source of these accounting and reporting issues have been resolved and all back office accounting and business processes are now performed by qualified staff here in Austin, Texas,” said Hill.
To correct these issues, the company was required to restate all quarterly and annual financial reports for the 2011 and 2012 reporting periods. On November 12, 2013 the company concluded and filed a restatement of its annual report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012. Additionally, quarterly reports ended March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011, September 30, 2011, March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012 were restated and consolidated into the Form 10-K.
Victory Energy anticipates the completion and release of yet to be filed 2013 quarterly reports (Q1, Q2 and Q3) to occur sequentially and prior to a timely filing of the 2013 Form 10-K. These additional quarterly filings will bring the company current.
Please note that Victory Energy intends to use its website, www.vyey.com, as a means of disclosing material non-public information and for complying with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Such disclosures will be included on the Victory Energy website in the "Investor Relations" section.
