Stock ratings are relative to the analyst’s industry (or
industry team’s) coverage universe.

WHAT’S CHANGED
2004E EPS $1.79 to $1.78
2005E EPS $1.01 to $0.89
2006E EPS $1.14 to $0.98
2004E CFPS $4.91 to $4.87
2005E CFPS $4.26 to $3.92
2006E CFPS $4.60 to $4.22
• QoQ cost control a positive
CRK reported 2Q04 operating EPS of $0.52, within the range of
Morgan Stanley & consensus expectations of $0.51 and $0.55
respectively. Volumes, up ~4% sequentially, were slightly below our
expectations, however strong realizations and sequential cost control
were positive offsets.
• Capex Increased; production guidance unchanged
CRK continues to work towards project execution and exploration
exposure, with the balance of 2004 lined up to continue 2Q04’s
sequential production growth momentum. That said, net of the ~36%
increase in capital spending (from $110 mm to $150 mm), no increase
in overall 2004 production volumes is expected, with YoY growth
targeted in the 7-8% range (vs. 10-15% anticipated earlier in the year).
• Maintain Underweight-V Rating, at this time
We continue to prefer risk/reward opportunities elsewhere in the group
at this time. We review CRK’s conservative net asset value support at
$17/sh in Exhibit 3.
