FORT WORTH, TX — (Marketwire) — 04/16/12 — Quicksilver Resources Inc. (NYSE: KWK) announced today that the company has filed its 2011 Form 10-K.
Final net income for the fourth quarter 2011 was $24 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, and $90 million, or $0.52 per diluted share for the full-year 2011, which is $4 million less than the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011 as previously reported in the company–s release on March 15, 2012. The difference is attributable to an additional non-cash impairment of U.S. midstream assets and a non-cash reduction in the fair value of certain commodity derivatives. These adjustments had no impact on adjusted net income per share for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011. As such, fourth-quarter 2011 adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, continues to be essentially breakeven, and full-year 2011 adjusted net income continues to be $20 million, or $0.12 per diluted share. Details of adjusted net income are included in the tables following this press release.
This news release and the accompanying schedules include the non-generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) financial measure of adjusted net income. The accompanying schedules provide reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Our non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures such as net income or operating income or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance.
