HOUSTON, July 20, 2017

HOUSTON, July 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Camber Energy, Inc. (NYSE MKT: CEI) ("Camber" or the "Company"), an independent oil and gas company, announces that it filed its fiscal year-end results for the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2017 and the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K on July 14, 2017.

"As indicated in our current 10-K filing, the Company has significant short term financial hurdles to overcome to continue operations. The new management team is in active negotiations addressing the issues but our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed concern about our ability to continue as a going concern," stated Robert Schleizer, the Company's Interim Chief Financial Officer.

Fiscal 2017 Annual Results

For the twelve months ending March 31, 2017, Camber reported a fiscal year net loss of $89.1 million, or a loss of $6.94 per share, compared to a net loss of $25.4 million, or a loss of $17.58 per share, in the twelve months ending March 31, 2016. Fiscal year 2017 included impairment charges related to the full-cost write-down of its oil and gas assets and lease expirations of $79.1 million compared to a $21.4 million impairment charge in the fiscal year 2016 results. Excluding for the impairment charges, the adjusted net loss for fiscal year 2017 was $10.0 million, or a loss of $0.78 per share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $4.81million, or a loss of $2.80 per share, in fiscal 2016.

Total crude oil and natural gas revenues for the year ended March 31, 2017 increased $4.3 million, or 448%, to $5.3 million compared to $1.0 million for the same period a year ago due primarily to higher production volumes as a result of the properties acquired in the Segundo transaction in August of 2016. Crude oil production rose by 64% to 36.3 million barrels of oil (Mbbls), and the Company produced 546 million cubic feet (Mmcf) of natural gas and 975 Mbbls of natural gas liquids (NGLs) compared to no natural gas or NGL production in fiscal 2016.

Lease operating expenses of $3.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2017 increased $2.5 million from $0.7 million for the same period a year ago, principally due to the increased expenses associated with the asset acquisition. General and administrative expenses (excluding share-based compensation) increased approximately $1.5 million or 62% for fiscal 2017 compared to the prior year.

Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion (DD&A) expenses for the 2017 fiscal year increased $1.8 million primarily due to an increase in production volumes to 224.9 million BOE compared to 22.2 million BOE in 2016. 2017 average daily production was 616 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) compared to 61 BOPD in fiscal 2016, all of which was produced from the Mid-Continent region.

Fiscal 2017 Reserves

During fiscal 2017, Camber increased its reserves by approximately 1.4 million BOE of proved reserves. The increase was the result of a downward revision of previous estimates of 2.6 million BOE, offset by the purchases in place of 7.9 million BOE, which was reduced by the production volume of 3.9 million BOE. Camber had a transfer to proved non-producing reserves on existing leases of 0.8 million BOE due to certain properties which were previously producing, being shut-in, as they became uneconomic due to the decrease in commodity prices.

At year-end on March 31, 2017, Camber' estimated net proved crude oil and natural gas reserves were approximately 5.6 million BOE, of which 3.4 million BOE were proved developed reserves. Total proved undeveloped reserves (PUDs) decreased by 2.7 million BOE to 1.4 million BOE. The proved undeveloped reserve decrease was primarily due to the transfer of approximately 0.2 million BOE of PUDs to probable undeveloped reserves as there has been no development within the last five year in addition to a reduction of approximately 1.6 million BOE due to expiring leases.

We had 0.8 million of developed non-producing BOE, and we transferred no amounts of proved undeveloped reserves to proved developed reserves during the fiscal year 2017. In addition, our plan is to convert our remaining PUD balance as of March 31, 2017 to proved developed reserves within five years or prior to the end of fiscal year 2022 provided that we are able to obtain adequate funding and capital over the time period.

Using the SEC pricing methodology of an average monthly crude oil price of $47.61 per Bbl and natural gas price of $2.74 per thousand cubic feet for the twelve months ended March 31, 2017, the estimated discounted future net cash flow (PV-10) before tax expenses for Camber' proved reserves was approximately $25.4 million. These reserves were determined in accordance with standard industry practices and SEC regulations by the licensed independent petroleum engineering firm of Ralph E. Davis Associates, LLC.
