About 54% of Trilogy’s production is natural gas. The remaining 46% is oil.

Trilogy pays out just 15% of its cash flow as dividends. That gives it a low 1.4% yield, but it’s also letting the company maintain an active drilling program. In the first quarter of 2013, Trilogy spent $169 million on exploration and development, down 6.3% from $180.4 million a year earlier. The company drilled 35 wells, up from 31.

The company’s long-term debt is $619.4 million, or a low 17.7% of its market cap. Trilogy is forecast to report cash flow of $3.10 a share in 2013. The stock trades at 9.6 times that estimate.

Trilogy Energy is a hold.
