Net Income of $47 Million and Adjusted Net Income of $52 Million for 2017

EBITDA of $175 Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $193 Million for 2017

Proved Reserves at Year End 2017 of 178 MMBoe with 17% Increase in Proved Oil Reserves Over Year End 2016

SEC Total Proved PV-10 of $749 Million ($835 Million Using Year End Strip Pricing), 71% Increase Over Year End 2016

Production of 14.9 MMBoe at High End of Guidance for 2017

Oil Production Increase of 73 MBo or 8% in Fourth Quarter 2017 Over Third Quarter 2017

Bill Griffin, President and CEO said, "SandRidge enters 2018 with a revised strategy and strong platform for economic growth.  I step into this role with a full and determined commitment to work diligently with our veteran, senior executive team to quickly implement the announced G&A reductions, while maintaining core competencies and shifting organizational focus.  2017 was a year of solid operating performance, delivering within, or exceeding our production and cost guidance. Importantly, the NPV-10 of our total proved reserve base increased to $835 million when utilizing year-end strip pricing. SandRidge has tremendous potential moving forward.  We are taking steps for meaningful improvements in our cash flow margins and we have a significant undeveloped acreage position and prospect inventory.  These facts, in combination with a strong and clean balance sheet, give us significant optionality to capture the most attractive opportunities and create meaningful value."

Financial Results

Fourth Quarter

For the fourth quarter, the Company reported a net loss of $19 million, or $0.54 per share, and net cash provided by operating activities of $33 million. When adjusting these reported amounts for items that are typically excluded by the investment community on the basis that such items affect the comparability of results, the Company's "adjusted net income" amounted to $12 million, or $0.34 per share, and "operating cash flow" totaled $41 million. Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, adjusted for certain other items, otherwise referred to as "adjusted EBITDA," for the fourth quarter was $49 million.(1)

Full Year

For the full year of 2017, the Company reported net income of $47 million, or $1.44 per share, and net cash provided by operating activities of $181 million. Adjusted net income amounted to $52 million, or $1.61 per share, and operating cash flow totaled $183 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year was $193 million. (1)

1) The Company has defined and reconciled certain non-GAAP financial measures including adjusted net income, operating cash flow, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, PV-10 and adjusted G&A expense and current net debt, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in supporting tables at the conclusion of this press release under the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" beginning on page 15.

Liquidity & Capital Structure

As of February 15, 2018, the Company's total liquidity was $496 million, which includes $78 million of cash and $418 million capacity under the credit facility, net of outstanding letters of credit.

The Company currently has no funds drawn under its credit facility and has provided notice that it intends to repay in full its $38 million building note on February 24, 2018. Interest on the building note is scheduled to increase from 8% to 10% in October 2018. Following repayment of the building note, the Company will have no outstanding long-term debt.

Hedging

For 2018, 86% of the Company's expected liquids production is hedged (at the midpoint of guidance) using derivative instruments for approximately  3.8 million barrels of oil at an average NYMEX WTI price of $55.75. In light of the high correlation between NGL and NYMEX WTI prices, the Company manages a portion of its NGL price exposure using NYMEX WTI contracts at a three-to-one (3:1) NGL to crude ratio. For 2018, the Company also has approximately 17.3 billion cubic feet of natural gas (54% of the midpoint of our guidance) hedged at an average price of $3.16 per MMBtu. For 2019, the Company has approximately 1.8 million barrels of oil hedged at an average WTI price of $54.29.

Operational Results and Activity

Production totaled 3.5 MMBoe (29% oil, 22% NGLs and 49% natural gas) for the fourth quarter, and 14.9 MMBoe for the full year of 2017, at the high end of guidance (14.2-14.9 MMBoe). Oil production grew 8% during the fourth quarter to 1,027 MBo from 954 MBo in the third quarter. The Company averaged two rigs in the NW STACK targeting the Meramec and one rig targeting multiple benches of the Niobrara in the North Park Basin during the quarter. Capital expenditures were $80 million during the quarter, bringing the total for the year to $248 million (excluding acquisitions) compared to 2017 guidance of $250-260 million.

Mid-Continent Assets in Oklahoma and Kansas

In the fourth quarter, production in the Mid-Continent totaled 3.2 MMBoe (23% oil). The Company averaged two rigs in the NW STACK targeting the Meramec and drilled three wells (two SRLs and one XRL). Of the three wells drilled, two were under the previously announced Drilling Participation Agreement. The Company brought eight wells online (six SRLs and two XRLs), and the wells with available 30-Day IPs averaged 565 Boepd (72% oil) for SRLs and 770 Boepd (73% oil) for XRLs.

In 2017, the Company drilled eight XRLs and nine SRLs in the NW STACK targeting the Meramec with one to two rigs.  Of the 17 wells drilled, three were under the Drilling Participation Agreement that primarily covers Major and Woodward counties. Drilling and completion costs for SRLs and XRLs are currently $4.4 million and $6.5 million, respectively.

Niobrara Asset in North Park Basin, Jackson County, Colorado

Oil production in the North Park Basin totaled 201 MBo for the fourth quarter. During the quarter, the Company averaged one rig targeting multiple benches in the Niobrara, drilled three XRLs and brought three XRLs online. Two of the XRLs brought online had available 30-Day IPs averaging 1,109 Boepd (91% oil).

In 2017, the Company drilled eight XRLs and brought five wells to sales with one rig in North Park, confirming all four Niobrara benches (A, B, C and D) productive. Commercial productivity was confirmed in the B, C and D benches, while further determination of the A bench commerciality is ongoing. The Company has drilled the first four wells of an eight well spacing test, evaluating the B, C and D benches in a wine rack configuration. The Company will drill the remaining four wells of the test during the second quarter of 2018.

Other Operational Activities

During the fourth quarter, Permian Central Basin Platform properties produced 119 MBoe (1.3 MBoepd, 81% oil, 12% NGLs, 7% natural gas).

Year End 2017 Estimated Proved Reserves

The Company's total estimated SEC proved reserves as of December 31, 2017 were 178 MMBoe, an increase of 8% year over year. Reserves increased due to reserve additions and pricing revisions, with a 130% reserve replacement ratio (excluding pricing adjustments). SEC proved reserves PV-10 was $749 million, an increase of 71% year over year. SEC pricing used in the preparation of the December 31, 2017 reserves was $51.34 per Bbl for oil and $2.98 per MMBtu for natural gas, before adjustments.

For comparative purposes, utilizing NYMEX forward closing prices for oil and natural gas on December 29, 2017 (the last trading day of 2017), total NYMEX strip-based proved reserves at December 31, 2017 were 181 MMBoe, with a PV-10 of $835 million. NYMEX strip-based proved reserves are calculated based on the SEC proved reserves estimation methodology, but applying NYMEX strip prices rather than SEC pricing.  NYMEX strip-based PV-10 uses annual average prices for oil and natural gas shown in the NYMEX Strip Pricing table below.

2018 Operational and Capital Expenditure Guidance

The Company is currently running one drilling rig in the NW STACK under its Drilling Participation Agreement as well as one rig in the North Park Basin. Capital allocation opportunities based on total return are also under review to exploit high-graded Mississippian Lime locations. The 2018 capital expenditure guidance range is $180 - $190 million. As previously announced, the Company is in the process of instituting changes in its organizational structure to efficiently execute its strategic objectives. These changes are expected to reduce ongoing G&A cash expenses by one-third to $36 - $39 million per year. At these new levels of expense, G&A cash expenses will have been cut by more than half since the Company's emergence from bankruptcy in October 2016. Production and other operational guidance detail for the full year of 2018 can be found below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are not alternatives to GAAP measures, and you should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Below is additional disclosure regarding each of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release, including reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Reconciliation of Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities to Operating Cash Flow

The Company defines operating cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities, as shown in the following table. Operating cash flow is a supplemental financial measure used by the Company's management and by securities analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies and others who follow the industry as an indicator of the Company's ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur additional debt. The Company also uses this measure because operating cash flow relates to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements that the Company may not control and may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred. Further, operating cash flow allows the Company to compare its operating performance and return on capital with those of other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net cash provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Net (Loss) Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

The Company defines EBITDA as net (loss) income before income tax (benefit) expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization - other and depreciation and depletion - oil and natural gas. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented herein, is EBITDA excluding items that the Company believes affect the comparability of operating results such as items whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated or are non-recurring, as shown in the following tables.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides useful additional information used by the Company's management and by securities analysts, investors, lenders, ratings agencies and others who follow the industry, for analysis of the Company's financial and operating performance on a recurring basis and the Company's ability to internally fund exploration and development, and to service or incur additional debt. In addition, management believes that adjusted EBITDA is widely used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison, and investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas exploration and production industry. The Company's adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Reconciliation of Net (Loss) Income Available to Common Stockholders to Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders

The Company defines adjusted net (loss) income as net (loss) income excluding items that the Company believes affect the comparability of operating results and are typically excluded from published estimates by the investment community, including items whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated or are non-recurring, as shown in the following tables.

Management uses the supplemental measure of adjusted net (loss) income as an indicator of the Company's operational trends and performance relative to other oil and natural gas companies and believes it is more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities analysts. Adjusted net (loss) income is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net (loss) income available to common stockholders.

Reconciliation of G&A to Adjusted G&A

The Company reports and provides guidance on Adjusted G&A per Boe because it believes this measure is commonly used by management, analysts and investors as an indicator of cost management and operating efficiency on a comparable basis from period to period, compare and make investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas industry. This non-GAAP measure allows for the analysis of general and administrative spend without regard to stock-based compensation programs, and other non-recurring cash items which can vary significantly between companies. Adjusted G&A per Boe is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for general and administrative expense per Boe. Therefore, the Company's Adjusted G&A per Boe may not be comparable to other companies' similarly titled measures.

The Company defines adjusted G&A as general and administrative expense adjusted for certain non-cash stock-based compensation and other non-recurring items, as shown in the following tables.

Reconciliation of PV-10 to Standardized Measure

PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents the present value of estimated future cash inflows from proved oil, natural gas and NGL reserves, less future development and production costs, discounted at 10% per annum to reflect timing of future cash flows and using 12-month average prices for the year ended December 31, 2017. PV-10 differs from Standardized Measure because it does not include the effects of income taxes on future net revenues. PV-10 is used by the industry and by management as a reserve asset value measure to compare against past reserve bases and the reserve bases of other business entities. It is useful because its calculation is not dependent on the taxpaying status of the entity. Because of the present value of future income tax discounted at 10% is insignificant, these measures are equivalent.

The PV-10 of strip-based proved reserves is a non-GAAP financial measure and differs from standardized measure because it reflects the estimated proved reserves economically recoverable based on forward NYMEX strip prices rather than SEC pricing and does not include the effects of income taxes on future net revenues. PV-10 of strip-based proved reserves is useful to investors to illustrate the potential value of proved reserves that are economically recoverable in the current commodity price environment rather than SEC prices. Neither the PV-10 of the Company's SEC reserves, the PV-10 of strip-based proved reserves nor the Standardized Measure represents an estimate of fair market value of the Company's oil and natural gas properties.

Net Debt

The Company also uses the term net debt to determine the extent to which the Company's outstanding debt obligations would be satisfied by its cash and cash equivalents on hand. Management believes this metric is useful to investors in determining the Company's current leverage position following recent significant events subsequent to the period.
