Although we believe that our plans, intentions, and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements we make in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are reasonable, we can give no assurance that these plans, intentions, or expectations will be achieved. We disclose other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations under “Part I, Item 1A.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Operations

When we use the terms “Civitas,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” we are referring to Civitas Resources, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires. Civitas is an independent exploration and production company focused on the acquisition, development, and production of crude oil and associated liquids-rich natural gas in the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico and the DJ Basin in Colorado.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Civitas and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain notes and other financial information included in audited financial statements have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim financial information, have been included. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The December 31, 2024 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet data has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements contained in our 2024 Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures, including notes required by GAAP. As such, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2024 Form 10-K. In connection with the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we evaluated events subsequent to the balance sheet date of March 31, 2025 through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other future period. Additionally, certain insignificant prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Such reclassifications did not have a material impact on prior period consolidated financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by us are set forth in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 2024 Form 10-K and are supplemented by the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 is intended to enhance income tax disclosures by requiring disclosure of items such as the disaggregation of the income tax rate reconciliation as well as information regarding income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, and retrospective application is permitted. We adopted ASU 2023-09 on January 1, 2025, on a prospective basis, and will present the required new disclosures in the 2025 Form 10-K.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires public entities to disclose disaggregated information about certain costs and expenses. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-03 should be applied on a prospective basis, and retrospective application is permitted. We are evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on the consolidated financial statements and our plan for adoption, including the adoption date and transition method.

There are no other accounting standards applicable to us that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures that have been issued but not yet adopted by us as of March 31, 2025, and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

All mergers and acquisitions disclosed below are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, we conducted assessments of the net assets acquired and recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisition were expensed as incurred. The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on inputs that are not observable in the market, and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. The fair values of crude oil and natural gas properties were measured using valuation techniques that converted future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation of the crude oil and natural gas properties included estimates of reserves, future operating and development costs, future commodity prices, estimated future cash flows, reserve adjustment factors, and a market-based weighted-average cost of capital. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates by management at the time of the valuation.

Vencer Acquisition

On January 2, 2024, we completed the acquisition of certain crude oil and natural gas assets from Vencer Energy, LLC (“Vencer”) for adjusted aggregate consideration of approximately $2.0 billion, inclusive of customary post-closing adjustments and $550 million in cash to be paid on or before January 3, 2025 (the “Vencer Acquisition”). The following tables present the consideration transferred and the final purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the Vencer Acquisition:


Consideration ($ in millions, except per share amounts)
Cash consideration	$	997
Deferred acquisition consideration(1)(3)	$	532

Shares of common stock issued	7,181,527
Closing price per share(2)	$	68.08
Equity consideration(4)	$	489

Total consideration	$	2,018

_______________________

(1)Based on discounted fixed and determinable future payments of cash.

(2)Based on the closing stock price of Civitas common stock on January 2, 2024.

(3)Amounts represent non-cash investing activities until such time payments are made, as applicable. Refer to Note 5 - Debt for additional information.

(4)Amounts represent non-cash financing activities.

Final Purchase Price Allocation (in millions)
Assets Acquired

Unproved properties	231
Other property and equipment	1
Right-of-use assets	4
Total assets acquired	$	2,095

Liabilities Assumed
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	$	5
Crude oil and natural gas revenue distribution payable	28
Asset retirement obligations	40
Lease liability	4
Total liabilities assumed	77
Net assets acquired	$	2,018

The purchase price allocation for the Vencer Acquisition was finalized as of the fourth quarter of 2024 with immaterial adjustments made to the preliminary allocation initially presented in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on May 2, 2024.

Revenue and earnings of the acquiree

The results of operations for the Vencer Acquisition since the closing date have been included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The amount of revenue of Vencer included in our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations (“statements of operations”) was approximately $198 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. We determined that disclosing the amount of Vencer-related net income included in the accompanying statements of operations is impracticable as the operations from the acquisition were integrated into our operations from the date of the acquisition.

Supplemental unaudited pro forma financial information

The results of operations for the Vencer Acquisition since the closing date have been included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and therefore do not require pro forma disclosure for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Transaction costs

Transaction costs related to insignificant acquisitions in the Permian Basin in 2025 and the Vencer Acquisition in 2024 are accounted for separately from the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and are included in transaction costs in the accompanying statements of operations. We incurred transaction costs of $6 million and $23 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

We record revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser. However, purchaser statements may not be received for one to two months after the date production is delivered, and as a result, we estimate the volume of production delivered to the purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. Generally, we record the differences between our estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. Any identified differences between our revenue estimates and actual revenue received historically have not been significant. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, revenue recognized in the reporting period related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods was not material.

The 2026 Senior Notes, 2028 Senior Notes, 2030 Senior Notes, and 2031 Senior Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) are unsecured senior obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and any future unsecured senior debt and are senior in right of payment to any future subordinated debt. The Company may redeem some or all of its Senior Notes prior to their maturity at redemption prices that may include a premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest as described in the indentures governing the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of our existing subsidiaries and are expected to be guaranteed by certain other future subsidiaries that may be required to guarantee the Senior Notes.

The indentures governing the Senior Notes contain covenants that limit, among other things, our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) create liens securing indebtedness; (iii) pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock or subordinated debt; (iv) make specified types of investments and acquisitions; (v) enter into or permit to exist contractual limits on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us; (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (vii) sell assets or merge with other companies. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. We were in compliance with all covenants and all restricted payment provisions related to our Senior Notes as of March 31, 2025 and through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The indentures governing the Senior Notes also contain customary events of default.

For additional details on our Senior Notes, refer to Note 5 - Long-Term Debt in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data included in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Credit Facility

We are party to a reserve-based revolving credit facility, as the borrower, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), as the administrative agent, and a syndicate of financial institutions, as lenders, that has an aggregate maximum commitment amount of $4.0 billion and is set to mature on August 2, 2028 (together with all amendments thereto, the “Credit Facility” or the “Credit Agreement”). On February 21, 2025, we amended our Credit Facility to increase our aggregate elected commitments from $2.2 billion to $2.5 billion. As of March 31, 2025, the borrowing base and aggregate elected commitments under the Credit Agreement were $3.4 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively. The next scheduled borrowing base redetermination date is set to occur in May 2025.

Interest and commitment fees associated with the Credit Facility are accrued based on a revolving loan commitment utilization grid set forth in the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to, at our option, either (i) the Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) plus the applicable margin, or (ii) the term-specific Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus the applicable margin. ABR is established as a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan as its prime rate, (b) the applicable rate of interest published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus 0.5%, or (c) the term-specific SOFR for an interest period of one month plus 1.0%, in each case, subject to a 1.5% floor, plus an applicable margin of 0.75% to 1.75% based on the utilization of the Credit Facility. Term-specific SOFR is based on one-, three-, or six-month terms as selected by us and is subject to a 0.5% floor, plus an applicable margin of 1.75% to 2.75%, based on the utilization of the Credit Facility. Interest on borrowings that bear interest at the SOFR are payable on the last day of the applicable interest period selected by us, and interest on borrowings that bear interest at the ABR are payable quarterly in arrears.

The Credit Facility is guaranteed by all our restricted domestic subsidiaries and is secured by first priority security interests on substantially all assets, including a mortgage on at least 90% of the total value of the proved properties evaluated in the reserve reports most recently delivered to the lenders under the Credit Facility, including any engineering reports relating to the crude oil and natural gas properties of our restricted domestic subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions.

The Credit Facility contains customary representations and affirmative covenants. The Credit Facility also contains customary negative covenants, which, among other things, and subject to certain exceptions, including the suspension and/or modification of certain covenants in the event that we receive investment grade credit ratings, include restrictions on (i) liens, (ii) indebtedness, guarantees and other obligations, (iii) restrictions in agreements on liens and distributions, (iv) mergers or consolidations, (v) asset sales, (vi) restricted payments, (vii) investments, (viii) affiliate transactions, (ix) change of business, (x) foreign operations or subsidiaries, (xi) changes to organizational documents, (xii) use of proceeds from loans and letters of credit, (xiii) hedging transactions, (xiv) additional subsidiaries, (xv) changes in fiscal year or fiscal quarter, (xvi) prepayments of certain debt and other obligations, (xvii) sales or discounts of receivables, and (xviii) dividend payment thresholds.

In addition, we are subject to certain financial covenants under the Credit Facility, as tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter, including, without limitation, (a) a maximum ratio of our consolidated net indebtedness to earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, exploration expense, and other non-cash charges (“permitted net leverage ratio”) of 3.00 to 1.00, (b) a current ratio, inclusive of the unused commitments under the Credit Facility then available to be borrowed, to not be less than 1.00 to 1.00, and (c) upon the achievement of investment grade credit ratings, a PV-9 coverage ratio of the net present value, discounted at 9% per annum, of the estimated future net revenues expected in the proved reserves to our total net indebtedness of not less than 1.50 to 1.00 (“PV-9 coverage ratio”). We were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2025 and through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents

The following table presents the outstanding balance, letters of credit outstanding, and available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility as of the dates indicated (in millions):

As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the unamortized deferred financing costs associated with amendments to the Credit Facility were $29 million. Of the unamortized deferred financing costs, (i) $20 million and $21 million are presented within other noncurrent assets on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets (“balance sheets”) as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and (ii) $9 million and $8 million are presented within prepaid expenses and other on the accompanying balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Deferred Acquisition Consideration

The Vencer Acquisition included deferred consideration of $550 million to be paid in cash on or before January 3, 2025. We discounted this obligation and recorded $532 million as deferred acquisition consideration upon closing and amortized the discount to interest expense in the accompanying statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we paid $75 million of this deferred consideration and on January 3, 2025 we paid the remaining $475 million, which is recorded as a cash outflow within the acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (“statements of cash flows”).

Interest Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we incurred interest expense of $107 million and $110 million, respectively. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 includes zero and $9 million, respectively, related to the amortization of deferred acquisition consideration associated with the Vencer Acquisition.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments. We routinely enter into, extend, or amend operating agreements in the ordinary course of business. We have long-term transportation, sales, processing, and water delivery commitments. There were no significant commitments entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2025. For details of our existing commitments, refer to Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data included in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Litigation and Legal Items. We are involved in various legal proceedings. We review the status of these proceedings on an ongoing basis and, from time to time, may settle or otherwise resolve these matters on terms and conditions that management believes are in our best interests. We have provided the necessary estimated accruals in the accompanying balance sheets where deemed appropriate for litigation and legal related items that are ongoing and not yet concluded. Other than any ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business and except as described below, we are not currently a party to, nor is our property currently subject to, any material legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any such proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.

On May 2, 2025, Jeremy Lin (the “Plaintiff”), individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint for violation of federal securities laws against us, our Chief Executive Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Complaint”). The Complaint purports to bring a federal securities class action on behalf of a class of persons and entities other than the Defendants who acquired our securities between February 27, 2024 and February 24, 2025 and asserts violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Defendants made materially false and misleading statements related to our business, operations and prospects, including our anticipated production volumes and financial condition in 2025. The Plaintiff seeks, among other things, certification of a class, an award of unspecified compensatory damages, interest, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expert fees. We intend to vigorously defend against the claims brought by the Plaintiff in this matter. We cannot predict at this point the length of time that this action will be ongoing or the liability, if any, which may arise therefrom.

NOTE 7 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Long Term Incentive Plans

Table of Contents

In June 2024, in connection with our stockholders’ approval at our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, we adopted the 2024 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2024 LTIP”), which provides for the issuance of restricted stock units, performance stock units, stock options, and various other forms of awards, and reserved 3,100,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2024 LTIP. The 2024 LTIP supersedes and replaces all of our previous long-term incentive plans (the “Prior Plans”), such that awards may not be granted under the Prior Plans subsequent to the adoption of the 2024 LTIP. Awards granted under the Prior Plans will remain subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Prior Plan. The Prior Plans and 2024 LTIP are collectively referred to herein as the “LTIP.”

We record compensation expense associated with the issuance of awards under the LTIP on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the fair value of the awards as of the date of grant within general and administrative expense in the accompanying statements of operations. The following table outlines the compensation expense recorded by type of award (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Restricted and deferred stock units	$	8	$	6
Performance stock units	5		5

Total stock-based compensation	$	13	$	11

As of March 31, 2025, unrecognized compensation expense related to the awards granted under the LTIP will be amortized through the relevant periods as follows (in millions):


	Unrecognized Compensation Expense		Final Year of Recognition
Restricted and deferred stock units	$	48	2028
Performance stock units	32		2027
Total unrecognized stock-based compensation	$	80

Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units

We grant time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to our officers, executives, and employees and time-based deferred stock units (“DSUs”) to our non-employee directors under the LTIP. Each RSU and DSU represents a right to receive one share of our common stock after the RSU or DSU vests and is settled. RSUs vest ratably over a one, two, or three-year service period on each anniversary following the grant date. RSUs are settled in shares of our common stock shortly after vesting. DSUs vest over a one-year period following the grant date. DSUs are settled in shares of our common stock upon the non-employee director’s separation of service from our Board of Directors (our “Board”). The grant-date fair value of RSUs and DSUs is equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of the grant.

The following table presents the changes in non-vested RSUs and DSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2025:


	RSUs and DSUs	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Non-vested, beginning of year	932,902	$	65.69
Granted	495,315	49.20
Vested	(227,870)	63.26
Forfeited	(43,611)	69.28
Non-vested, end of period	1,156,736	$	58.98

The aggregate grant-date fair value of the RSUs and DSUs granted under the LTIP during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $24 million.

Table of Contents

Performance Stock Units

We grant market-based performance stock units (“PSUs”) to our officers and certain executives under the LTIP. The number of shares of our common stock issued to settle PSUs ranges from zero to 225% of the number of PSUs granted and is determined based on performance achievement against certain market-based criteria over a three-year performance period. Performance achievement is determined based on our annualized absolute total stockholder return (“TSR”). Absolute TSR is determined based upon the change in our stock price over the performance period plus dividends paid. PSUs generally vest on December 31 of the year preceding the third anniversary of the date of grant and settle by March 15 of the following year upon the determination and approval of performance achievement by the Compensation Committee of our Board.

The grant-date fair value of our PSUs is estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The Monte Carlo valuation model is based on random projections of stock price paths and repeated numerous times to achieve a probabilistic assessment. Significant assumptions used in this valuation include our expected volatility as well as the volatilities for each of our peers and an interpolated risk-free interest rate based on U.S. Treasury yields with maturities consistent with the performance period.

The following table presents the change of non-vested PSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2025:


	PSUs	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Non-vested, beginning of year	650,046	$	85.23
Granted(1)	277,684	61.78
Adjusted shares based on performance(2)	(81,547)	73.09
Vested(2)	(76,827)	72.98
Forfeited	(35,752)	85.67

Non-vested, end of period(1)	733,604	$	78.96

___________________________

(1)The number of awards assumes that the associated performance condition is met at the target amount (multiplier of one). The final number of shares of our common stock issued may vary depending on the performance multiplier, which ranges from zero to 225%, depending on the level of satisfaction of the performance condition.

(2)Upon completion of the performance period for the PSUs granted in 2022, a performance achievement of 46% or 54%, as applicable, was applied to each of the grants, resulting in a number of shares less than the target amount of such PSUs being settled during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The aggregate grant-date fair value of the PSUs granted under the LTIP during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $17 million.

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We follow authoritative accounting guidance for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Further, this guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.

The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable

Level 3: Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable

We classify financial and non-financial assets and liabilities based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents

Derivatives

We use Level 2 inputs to measure the fair value of crude oil and natural gas commodity price derivatives. The fair value of our commodity price derivatives is estimated using industry-standard models that contemplate various inputs including, but not limited to, the contractual price of the underlying position, current market prices, forward commodity price curves, volatility factors, time value of money, and the credit risk of both us and our counterparties. We validate our fair value estimate by corroborating the original source of inputs, monitoring changes in valuation methods and assumptions, and reviewing counterparty mark-to-market statements and other supporting documentation. Refer to Note 9 - Derivatives for more information regarding our derivative instruments.

The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and their classification within the fair value hierarchy (in millions):


	As of March 31, 2025		As of December 31, 2024
	Level 2		Level 2
Derivative assets	$	192	$	84
Derivative liabilities	$	97	$	35

Long-Term Debt

The portion of our long-term debt related to our Credit Facility, if any, approximates its fair value as it bears interest at a floating rate that approximates a current market rate. The portion of our long-term debt related to our Senior Notes is recorded at cost, net of any unamortized discount and deferred financing costs. The fair value of our Senior Notes is based on quoted market prices, and as such, is designated as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the fair value of our Senior Notes as of the dates indicated ($ in millions):


		As of March 31, 2025			As of December 31, 2024
	Nominal Interest	Fair Value		Percent of Par	Fair Value		Percent of Par
2026 Senior Notes	5.000%	$	395	99%	$	394	99%
2028 Senior Notes	8.375%	1,395		103%	1,405		104%
2030 Senior Notes	8.625%	1,035		104%	1,049		105%
2031 Senior Notes	8.750%	1,389		103%	1,408		104%

Our deferred acquisition consideration was recorded in connection with the Vencer Acquisition using an estimated fair value discount at the time of the transaction based on quoted market prices from our debt as well as other inputs classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the deferred acquisition consideration approximated fair value. Refer to Note 5 - Debt for additional information.

Acquisitions and Impairments of Proved and Unproved Properties

We measure acquired assets or businesses at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and review our proved and unproved crude oil and natural gas properties for impairment using inputs that are not observable in the market and are therefore designated as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. The most significant fair value determinations for non-financial assets and liabilities are related to crude oil and natural gas properties acquired. Refer to Note 2 - Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded no impairments of proved or unproved properties. Refer to Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data included in our 2024 Form 10-K for information on our policies for determining fair value of proved and unproved properties and related impairment expense.

NOTE 9 - DERIVATIVES

We periodically enter into commodity derivative contracts to mitigate a portion of our exposure to potentially adverse market changes in commodity prices for our expected future crude oil and natural gas production and the associated impact on cash flows. Our commodity derivative contracts consist of swaps, collars, and basis protection swaps. As of March 31, 2025, all derivative counterparties were members of the Credit Facility lender group, and all commodity derivative contracts are entered into for other-than-trading purposes. We do not designate our commodity derivative contracts as hedging instruments.

A typical swap arrangement guarantees a fixed price on contracted volumes. If the agreed upon published third-party index price (“index price”) is lower than the fixed contract price at the time of settlement, we receive the difference between the

Table of Contents

index price and the fixed contract price. If the index price is higher than the fixed contact price at the time of settlement, we pay the difference between the index price and the fixed contract price.

A typical collar arrangement establishes a floor and ceiling price on contracted volumes through the use of a short call and a long put. When the index price is above the ceiling price at the time of settlement, we pay the difference between the index price and the ceiling price. When the index price is below the floor price at the time of settlement, we receive the difference between the index price and floor price. When the index price is between the floor price and ceiling price, no payment or receipt occurs.

Basis protection swaps are arrangements that guarantee a price differential from a specified delivery point. For basis protection swaps, we receive a payment from the counterparty if the price differential is greater than the stated terms of the contract and pay the counterparty if the price differential is less than the stated terms of the contract.

NOTE 10 - ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

We recognize an estimated liability for future costs associated with the abandonment of our crude oil and natural gas properties, including facilities requiring decommissioning. A liability for the fair value of an asset retirement obligation and corresponding increase to the carrying value of the related long-lived asset are recorded at the time a well is drilled or acquired, or a facility is constructed. The increase in carrying value is included in proved properties in the accompanying balance sheets. We deplete the amount added to proved properties and recognize expense in connection with the accretion of the discounted liability over the remaining estimated economic lives of the respective long-lived assets. Cash paid to settle asset retirement obligations is included in the cash flows from operating activities section of our accompanying statements of cash flows.

Our estimated asset retirement obligation liability is based on historical experience plugging and abandoning wells, estimated plugging and abandonment cost, estimated economic lives, and regulatory requirements. The liability is discounted using the credit-adjusted risk-free rate estimated at the time the liability is incurred or revised.

A roll-forward of our asset retirement obligation is as follows (in millions):

Balance as of December 31, 2024	$	458
Additional liabilities incurred with development activities and other	1
Additional liabilities incurred with acquisitions	2

NOTE 11 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per basic and diluted share are calculated under the treasury stock method. Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the basic weighted-average common shares outstanding for the respective period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding, which includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities consist of unvested RSUs, DSUs, PSUs as well as outstanding in-the-money stock options and warrants. When we recognize a loss from continuing operations, all potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive and are consequently excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

As discussed in Note 7 - Stock-Based Compensation, PSUs represent the right to receive a number of shares of the Company’s common stock ranging from zero to 225% of PSUs granted based on the performance achievement over the applicable performance period. The number of potentially dilutive shares related to PSUs is based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable at the end of the respective reporting period, assuming that date was the end of the performance period applicable to such awards.

We have also issued warrants, which represent the right to purchase our common stock at a specified exercise price. The number of potentially dilutive shares related to the warrants is based on the number of shares, if any, that would be exercisable at the end of the respective reporting period, assuming that date was the end of such warrants’ term. Warrants are only dilutive when the average price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price. The exercise price of our warrants was in excess of our stock price during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024; therefore, they were excluded from the earnings per share calculation.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth the calculations of basic and diluted net earnings per common share ($ in millions, except per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Net income	$	186	$	176

Basic earnings per common share	$	1.99	$	1.75
Diluted earnings per common share	$	1.99	$	1.74

Add: dilutive effect of stock awards	145,972		747,599
Weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted	93,620,495		101,293,188

There were 404,566 and 138,448 unvested awards that were anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to determine the amount of taxes payable or refundable currently or in future years related to cumulative temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets. The tax effect of the net change in the cumulative temporary differences during each period in the deferred tax assets and liabilities determines the periodic provision for deferred taxes.

We assess the recoverability of our deferred tax assets each period by considering whether it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available evidence (both positive and negative), including future reversals of temporary differences, tax-planning strategies, projected future taxable income, and results of operations. As a result of merger activity in 2021, we recorded a valuation allowance of $25 million, which continued to be recorded as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, against certain acquired net operating losses and other tax attributes due to the limitation on realizability caused by the change of ownership provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. We will continue to monitor facts and circumstances in the reassessment of the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

The net deferred tax liability as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $856 million and $801 million, respectively. Additionally, income tax payable of $6 million and $2 million is included in other liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded income tax expense of $61 million and $35 million, respectively. Income tax expense differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory United States federal income tax rate of 21% to income from operations before income taxes due to the effect of state income taxes, excess tax benefits and deficiencies on stock-based compensation awards, tax limitations on compensation of covered individuals, tax credits, and other permanent differences. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, income tax expense was additionally impacted by deferred tax benefits from state apportionment changes as a result of the Vencer Acquisition.

We had no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We do not believe that there are any new items or changes in facts or judgments that would impact our tax position taken thus far in 2025.

In 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law. Among other provisions, the Inflation Reduction Act imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. Based on the application of currently available guidance, our income tax expense for the period ended March 31, 2025 was not impacted by the CAMT.

NOTE 14 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock Repurchases

Our Board authorized a stock repurchase program authorizing repurchases of up to $500 million of our outstanding shares of common stock, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or through block trades, derivative transactions, or purchases made in accordance with Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The stock repurchase program does not have a termination date, does not require any specific number of shares to be acquired, and can be modified or discontinued by our Board at any time.

We record stock repurchases at cost, which includes transaction costs that are direct and incremental to the repurchase, as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. As part of the transaction costs that are direct and incremental to the repurchase and, subject to netting against the fair value of stock issuances, we record a 1% excise tax with the corresponding liability recorded within accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheets. Any excess of cost over the par value is charged to additional paid-in-capital on a pro-rata basis, with any remaining cost charged to retained earnings.

The table below summarizes stock repurchases pursuant to the stock repurchase program during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:


	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Price		Total Purchase Price (in millions)(1)
2025
Open market repurchases	1,540,340	$	46.23	$	71
Total stock repurchases	1,540,340	$	46.23	$	71

Open market repurchases	152,275	68.19		10
Total stock repurchases	1,028,468	$	65.08	$	67

_________________________

(1)Excludes commissions paid and excise taxes accrued related to stock repurchases.

These stock repurchases were funded from our cash on hand, and the shares were immediately retired. As of March 31, 2025, $193 million remained available under the program for repurchase of our outstanding common stock.

Dividends

As approved by our Board, cash dividends are comprised of a quarterly base and a discretionary variable dividend component. The following table summarizes the dividends declared for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:


	Base		Variable		Total		Total
	(per share)		(per share)		(per share)		(in millions)
2025
First quarter	$	0.50	$	—	$	0.50	$	45


2024
First quarter	$	0.50	$	0.95	$	1.45	$	148

Table of Contents

All RSUs, DSUs, and PSUs receive a dividend equivalent per unit, recognized as a liability included in other liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets until the recipients receive the dividend equivalents. Refer to Note 7 - Stock-Based Compensation for further discussion around our LTIP.

Capital Return Program

Beginning in February 2025, our Board approved a capital return program that prioritizes directing the majority of our free cash flow to debt reduction, following the payment of our base dividend, which remains $0.50 per share quarterly. Any incremental returns of capital beyond the base dividend and debt reduction will occur at the discretion of our Board and will be in the form of share repurchases and/or variable dividends. Future dividend payments must be approved by our Board and will depend on our liquidity, financial requirements, and other factors considered relevant by our Board.

NOTE 15 - SEGMENT REPORTING

We aggregate and report our crude oil and natural gas exploration and production operations in one reportable upstream segment. The Permian Basin and the DJ Basin are operating segments of the Company that we aggregate into the upstream segment due to the similar nature of these operations that are solely focused in the U.S. The upstream segment derives revenue from the sale of produced crude oil, natural gas, and NGL. We consider our midstream functions as ancillary to our upstream segment. Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer.

The measure of profit or loss that the CODM uses to assess performance and allocate resources for the upstream segment is Adjusted EBITDAX. Adjusted EBITDAX is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, exploration expense, and other non-cash and non-recurring charges. The measure of segment assets is reported on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets and capital expenditures are reported in our statements of cash flows. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDAX to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the upstream segment or into other activities, such as for acquisitions, debt reduction, or to return capital to stockholders.

The following table presents a reconciliation of reportable segment Adjusted EBITDAX to income from operations before income taxes (in millions):

Commodity Prices and Certain Other Market Conditions

The crude oil and natural gas industry is cyclical and commodity prices are inherently volatile. Commodity prices in the second half of 2024 were weakened by soft global economic growth creating downward pressure on the price of oil, with OPEC+ consistently reducing consumption estimates as a result of China’s economic slowdown, specifically in the transportation sector. In early 2025, oil prices had a slight rebound due to continued tightened sanctions on Russia and Iranian oil. However, there was a subsequent decline that continued into May 2025 as a result of (i) trade tariff uncertainties driving concerns over an increase in inflation, (ii) continued concerns over economic growth, specifically in China and India as both are significant oil consumers, and (iii) OPEC+’s decision to increase production starting in May, creating additional global supply and further downward pressure on oil prices. These factors have led to declining average crude oil prices, with NYMEX WTI crude oil reaching $57.13 on May 5, 2025, the lowest levels seen since 2021.

U.S. inflation rates during the first quarter of 2025 were relatively stable, yet remained slightly higher than historical averages. Inflationary pressures, such as trade tariffs, can lead to economic slowdown and/or lead to a recession. A slowdown or recession can cause a decrease in short-term or longer-term demand for commodities, resulting in oversupply and potential for lower commodity prices.

The foregoing destabilizing factors have led to significant fluctuations in global financial markets and uncertainty about world-wide crude oil and natural gas supply and demand, which in turn has increased the volatility of crude oil and natural gas prices. Prolonged lower oil prices and inflationary costs could adversely affect our drilling program and could result in a significant triggering event that may cause an impairment over our crude oil and natural gas assets. Consequently, we may incur substantial impairment charges in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We maintain operational flexibility to control the pace of our capital spending and we regularly monitor these external factors that may negatively influence it. As a result, we may revise our capital program during the year.

The below graph depicts monthly average NYMEX WTI crude oil and NYMEX HH natural gas price from January 2024 through March 2025.

____________________________

(1) The average NYMEX WTI crude oil price for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $71.42 and $70.27, respectively.

(2) The average NYMEX natural gas HH price for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $3.65 and $2.79, respectively.

Table of Contents

In light of uncertainty associated with crude oil and natural gas demand, future monetary policy relating to inflationary pressures, and governmental policies aimed at transitioning toward lower carbon energy, we cannot predict any future volatility in or levels of commodity prices or demand for crude oil and natural gas.

We receive a premium or discount to the benchmark WTI price for our crude oil production. The differential between the benchmark price and the price we receive can reflect adjustments for quality, location, and transportation. Our Permian Basin crude oil price generally includes a transportation differential for delivery to Cushing, Oklahoma. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our Permian Basin crude oil differential was a premium to WTI. Our DJ Basin crude oil price generally includes a higher-grade quality differential and a transportation differential for delivery to Cushing, Oklahoma. Basis differentials can be volatile and can change at various times given their high correlation with market dynamics, supply and demand, and overall production.

Our natural gas production is typically sold at a discount to the benchmark NYMEX Henry Hub price. Our Permian Basin natural gas production is based on the Waha Hub in West Texas, and our DJ Basin natural gas production is sold based on prices established for Colorado Interstate Gas (“CIG”). Pricing we receive for our natural gas in both basins is correlated with the capacity of in-field gathering systems, compression, and processing facilities, as well as transportation pipelines out of the basins, of which are majority owned and operated by third parties. During 2024, the Waha Hub experienced periods of negative pricing due to oversupply, seasonal maintenance, and limited pipeline capacity. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Waha Hub observed positive average monthly pricing due to winter seasonal demand and available pipeline capacity. CIG pricing is often impacted by seasonality and typically receives a higher price during the winter months as local demand increases as temperatures decrease.

We periodically enter into natural gas basis protection swaps to mitigate a portion of our exposure to adverse market changes. As a result of our natural gas derivative contracts, we recorded a cash settlement gain of $3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Refer to Note 9 - Derivatives under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion on our derivative contracts.

Table of Contents

Product revenues decreased by 8% to $1.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $1.3 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a 14% decrease in total sales volumes primarily due to the timing of wells turned-in-line in both basins, two fewer days in the first quarter of 2025, and normal decline in production from our existing wells. The decrease was partially offset by a 7% increase in crude oil equivalent pricing, excluding the impact of derivatives.

Lease operating expense. Our lease operating expense remained relatively flat at $174 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $173 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. However, our lease operating expense increased 16% on an equivalent basis per Boe. The DJ Basin accounted for approximately 70% of the increase per Boe largely driven by (i) operating costs in the DJ Basin that are predominately fixed rather than variable, (ii) power costs that have risen as we convert more of our facilities from generators to grid power, in support of our emissions reduction efforts, and (iii) higher seasonal fuel and power usage. The Permian Basin accounted for approximately 30% of the increase per Boe primarily due to operating cost increases as a result of the addition of 43 more net wells turned to sales throughout the three months ended March 31, 2025, when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024, partially offset by the completion of the majority of our maintenance and workover optimizations projects during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Gathering, transportation, and processing. Gathering, transportation, and processing expense decreased 12%, to $87 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $99 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and increased 3% on an equivalent basis per Boe. The decrease in gathering, transportation, and processing expense is mainly driven by the decrease in sales volumes of 14%. The increase in gathering, transportation, and processing expense per Boe is mainly driven by (i) certain of our contracts that are value-based percentage of proceeds sales contracts that track solely with natural gas and NGL pricing and (ii) an election on certain midstream contracts to apply high-pressure gas lift, which results in an incrementally higher cost per Boe.

Severance and ad valorem taxes. Severance taxes represent taxes imposed by the states in which we operate based on the value of the crude oil, natural gas, and NGL we produce. Ad valorem taxes represent taxes imposed by specific jurisdictions in which we operate based on the assessed value of our properties in that region. For our operations in Texas, the assessed value of our properties is determined using a discounted cash flow methodology. For our operations in Colorado and New Mexico, assessed value is determined by the value of the crude oil, natural gas, and NGL sold less various deductions.

Our severance and ad valorem taxes increased 3%, to $89 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $86 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and increased 20% on an equivalent basis per Boe. Increases in both total and on an equivalent basis per Boe resulted from a refinement of estimated severance and ad valorem taxes based upon updated mill levies in the taxing districts in which we operate. The increase was slightly offset by the decrease of 8% for crude oil, natural gas, and NGL sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization. Our depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense (“DD&A”) decreased 18%, to $445 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $545 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and decreased 5% on an equivalent basis per Boe. Subsequent to December 31, 2024, we invested approximately $740 million in the development and acquisition of crude oil and natural gas properties. The decrease in total DD&A expense was primarily due to a 14% decrease in sales volumes between periods. The decrease in DD&A expense per Boe was due to a decrease in the depletion rate driven by a greater increase in proved reserves in proportion to the depletable property base, most notably in the Permian Basin.

General and administrative expense. Our general and administrative expense increased 8%, to $57 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $53 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and increased 23% on an equivalent basis per Boe. The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to $4 million of non-recurring cash severance charges and $1 million of additional stock compensation expense incurred in connection with our announced reduction in force. General and administrative expense per Boe increased due to a 14% decrease in sales volumes.

Derivative gain (loss). Our derivative gain for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $52 million, as compared to a loss of $12 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Our derivative gain for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was due to fair market value adjustments resulting from lower market prices relative to our open positions and cash settlement gains. Our derivative loss for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was due to fair market value adjustments resulting from higher market prices relative to our open positions, partially offset by cash settlement gains.

Refer to Note 9 - Derivatives under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional discussion.

Interest expense. Our interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $107 million and $113 million, respectively. Average debt outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $5.2 billion and $4.9 billion, respectively. The components of interest expense for the periods presented are as follows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Senior Notes	$	84	$	83
Credit Facility	17		14
Amortization of deferred financing costs and deferred acquisition consideration	4		14
Other	2		2
Total interest expense	$	107	$	113

Income tax expense. Our effective tax rate differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory United States federal income tax rate of 21% to income before income taxes due to the effect of state income taxes, excess tax benefits and deficiencies on stock-based compensation awards, tax limitations on compensation of covered individuals, tax credits, and other permanent differences. Refer to Note 12 - Income Taxes under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional discussion.

Our income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $61 million and $49 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.6% and 24.4% on pre-tax income, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash flows from operating activities, available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, potential proceeds from equity and/or debt capital markets transactions, potential proceeds from sales of assets, and other sources. We may use our available liquidity for operating activities, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions, the return of capital to stockholders, and for general corporate purposes. Additionally, our available liquidity may be used for debt reduction and we may, at any time and from time to time, seek to repurchase and retire our outstanding senior notes through cash purchases and/or exchanges for debt in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, would be made upon the terms and at the prices as our Board and management may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. In addition, we may issue additional securities in capital markets transactions to refinance portions of our Credit Facility or other debt obligations as market conditions permit.

Our primary source of cash flows from operating activities is the sale of crude oil, natural gas, and NGL. As such, our cash flows are subject to significant volatility due to changes in commodity prices, as well as variations in our sales volumes. The prices for these commodities are driven by a number of factors beyond our control, including global and regional product supply and demand, the impact of inflation and monetary policy, weather, product distribution, transportation, processing, and refining capacity, regulatory constraints, and other supply chain dynamics, among other factors.

As of March 31, 2025, our liquidity was $1.5 billion, consisting of cash on hand of $20 million and $1.4 billion of available borrowing capacity on our Credit Facility. Borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility is primarily based on the value assigned to the proved reserves attributable to our crude oil and natural gas interests. As of May 6, 2025, the available borrowing capacity on our Credit Facility was $1.0 billion. Our Credit Facility is set to mature in August 2028, with the next scheduled borrowing base redetermination date to occur in May 2025, subsequent to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Credit Facility contains customary representations and various affirmative and negative covenants as well as certain financial covenants, including (a) a permitted net leverage ratio of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00, (b) a current ratio, inclusive of the unused commitments under the Credit Facility then available to be borrowed, of not less than 1.00 to 1.00, and (c) upon the achievement of investment grade credit ratings, a PV-9 coverage ratio. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2025, and through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Refer to Note 5 - Debt in Part I, Item 1 for additional information.

Our material short-term cash requirements include: operating activities, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, dividends, and payments of contractual obligations. Our material long-term cash requirements from various contractual and other obligations include: debt obligations and related interest payments, firm transportation and minimum volume agreements, taxes, asset retirement obligations, and leases. Refer to Part I, Item 1 for additional information. Our future capital requirements, both near-term and long-term, will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, commodity prices, market conditions, our available liquidity and financing, acquisitions and divestitures of crude oil and natural gas properties, the availability of drilling rigs and completion crews, the cost of completion services, success of drilling programs, land and industry partner issues, weather delays, the acquisition of leases with drilling commitments, and other factors. We regularly consider which resources, including debt and equity financing, are available to meet our future financial obligations, planned capital expenditures, and liquidity requirements.

Funding for these requirements may be provided by any combination of the sources of liquidity outlined above. We expect our 2025 capital program to be funded by cash flows from operations. Although we cannot provide any assurance, based on our projected cash flows from operations, our cash on hand, and available borrowing capacity on our Credit Facility, we believe that we will have sufficient capital available to fund these requirements through the 12-month period following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and based on current expectations, the long-term.

Sources of Cash and Cash Equivalents

Our sources of cash and cash equivalents increased by $616 million year over year, primarily driven by increased draws on our Credit Facility of $800 million.

This increase was partially offset by a decrease in net cash provided by operating activities of $94 million as well as a decrease in proceeds from property transactions of $91 million. Our net cash provided by operating activities are primarily impacted by commodity prices, sales volumes, net settlements from our commodity derivative positions, operating costs, and changes in our working capital. See “Results of Operations” above for more information on the factors driving these changes.

Uses of Cash and Cash Equivalents

Our uses of cash and cash equivalents decreased by $403 million year over year, primarily driven by decreased payments on our Credit Facility of $150 million, decreased capital expenditures for drilling and completion activities and other fixed assets of $97 million, decreased dividends paid of $98 million, and decreases in acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired of $78 million.

Capital expenditures for drilling and completion activities and other fixed assets decreased by $97 million, largely attributable to a 5% reduction in our 2025 capital investment program when compared to 2024, as well as efforts to level-load our capital to more evenly distribute investments throughout the year. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we drilled, completed, and turned to sales 22, 33, and 47 net operated wells, respectively, in the Permian Basin, and 25, 30, and 3 net operated wells, respectively, in the DJ Basin. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we drilled, completed, and turned to sales 36, 43, and 35 net operated wells, respectively, in the Permian Basin, and 31, 20, and 11 net operated wells, respectively, in the DJ Basin.

Beginning in February 2025, our Board elected to prioritize directing the majority of our free cash flow to debt reduction, following the payment of our base dividend, which remains $0.50 per share quarterly. As a result of this change, dividends declared and paid during the quarter decreased by $0.95 per share when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Table of Contents

Our cash proceeds from increased draws on our Credit Facility were used during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to pay the remaining Vencer deferred acquisition consideration of $475 million as well as acquire certain oil and gas properties in the Permian Basin for cash consideration of $281 million, inclusive of customary purchase price adjustments. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired was comprised nearly entirely of cash consideration paid at the closing of the Vencer Acquisition.

Material Commitments

There have been no significant changes from our 2024 Form 10-K in our obligations and commitments, other than what is disclosed within Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDAX

Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, exploration expense, and other non-cash and non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDAX excludes certain items that we believe affect the comparability of operating results and can exclude items that are generally non-recurring in nature. We present Adjusted EBITDAX because we believe it provides useful additional information to investors and analysts, as a performance measure, for analysis of our ability to internally generate funds for exploration, development, acquisitions, and to service debt. We are also subject to financial covenants under our Credit Facility based on Adjusted EBITDAX ratios. In addition, Adjusted EBITDAX is widely used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison, and investment recommendations of companies in the crude oil and natural gas exploration and production industry. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, net cash provided by operating activities, or other profitability or liquidity measures prepared under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDAX excludes some, but not all items that affect net income and may vary among companies, the Adjusted EBITDAX amounts presented may not be comparable to similar metrics of other companies.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDAX for the periods presented (in millions):


	Three Months Ended

The three months ended December 31, 2024 includes non-recurring costs of $1 million for unused commitment fees that are included in other operating expense and $1 million for loss on property transactions, net that are included in other, net, all of which are in the accompanying statement of operations for the period.

Reconciliation of Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities and less exploration and development of crude oil and natural gas properties, changes in working capital related to capital expenditures, and purchases of carbon credits and renewable energy credits. We believe that Adjusted Free Cash Flow provides additional information that may be useful to investors and analysts in evaluating our ability to generate cash from our existing crude oil and natural gas assets to fund future exploration and development activities and to return cash to stockholders. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a supplemental measure of liquidity and should not be viewed as a substitute for cash flows from operations because it excludes certain required cash expenditures.

Reconciliation of average sales price, after derivatives

Average sales price, after derivatives is a non-GAAP financial measure that incorporates the net effect of derivative cash receipts from or payments on commodity derivatives that are presented in our accompanying statements of cash flows, netted into the average sales price, before derivatives, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We believe that the presentation of average sales price, after derivatives is a useful means to reflect the actual cash performance of our commodity derivatives for the respective periods and is useful to management and our stockholders in determining the effectiveness of our price risk management program.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of average sales price, before derivatives to the non-GAAP financial measure of average sales prices, after derivatives for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended

_________________________

(1)Derivatives economically hedge the price we receive for crude oil, natural gas, and NGL. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the derivative cash settlement gain for crude oil was $1 million, and the derivative cash settlement gain for natural gas was $3 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, the derivative cash settlement loss for crude oil was nominal, and the derivative cash settlement gain for natural gas was $12 million. We did not hedge the price we received for NGL during the periods presented. Refer to Note 9 - Derivatives under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional disclosures.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Information regarding our critical accounting estimates is contained in Part II, Item 7 of our 2024 Form 10-K. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no significant changes in the application of critical accounting policies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Crude Oil and Natural Gas Price Risk

Our financial condition, results of operations, and capital resources are highly dependent upon the prevailing market prices of crude oil and natural gas. These commodity prices are subject to wide fluctuations and market uncertainties due to a variety of factors that are beyond our control. Factors influencing crude oil and natural gas prices include the level of global demand for crude oil and natural gas, the global supply of crude oil and natural gas, the establishment of and compliance with production quotas by crude oil exporting countries, weather conditions which impact the supply and demand for crude oil and natural gas, the price and availability of alternative fuels, local and global politics, and overall economic conditions. It is impossible to predict future crude oil and natural gas prices with any degree of certainty. Sustained weakness in crude oil and natural gas prices may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and may also reduce the amount of crude oil and natural gas reserves that we can produce economically. Any reduction in our crude oil and natural gas reserves, including reductions due to price fluctuations, can have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain capital for our exploration and development activities. Similarly, any improvements in crude oil and natural gas prices can have a favorable impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and capital resources.

Commodity Price Derivative Contracts

Our primary commodity risk management objective is to protect our balance sheet. We periodically enter into commodity derivative contracts to mitigate a portion of our exposure to potentially adverse market changes in commodity prices for our expected future crude oil and natural gas production and the associated impact on cash flows. Our commodity derivative contracts consist of swaps, collars, and basis protection swaps. Upon settlement of the contract(s), if the relevant market commodity price exceeds our contracted swap price, or the collar’s ceiling strike price, we are required to pay our counterparty the difference for the volume of production associated with the contract. Generally, this payment is made up to 15 business days prior to the receipt of cash payments from our customers. This could have an adverse impact on our cash flows for the period between derivative settlements and payments for revenue earned. While we may reduce the potential negative impact of lower commodity prices, we may also be prevented from realizing the benefits of favorable price changes in the physical market. Refer to Note 9 - Derivatives under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for summary derivative activity tables.

Interest Rates

As of March 31, 2025 and May 6, 2025, we had $1.1 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, outstanding under our Credit Facility. Borrowings under our Credit Facility bear interest at a fluctuating rate that is tied to the ABR or SOFR, in each case, plus the applicable margin, at our option. Any increases in these interest rates can have an adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows. As of March 31, 2025, and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

Counterparty and Customer Credit Risk

We are exposed to counterparty credit risk associated with our derivative activities. As of March 31, 2025 and May 2, 2025, our derivative contracts have been executed with 16 counterparties, all of which are members of the Credit Facility lender group and have investment grade credit ratings. However, if our counterparties fail to perform their obligations under the contracts, we could suffer financial loss.

We are also subject to credit risk due to the concentration of our crude oil and natural gas receivables with certain significant customers. The inability or failure of our significant customers to meet their obligations to us or their insolvency or liquidation may adversely affect our financial results. We review the credit rating, payment history, and financial resources of our customers, but we do not require our customers to post collateral.

Table of Contents

Marketability of Our Production

The marketability of our production depends in part upon the availability, proximity, and capacity of third-party refineries, access to regional trucking, pipeline and rail infrastructure, natural gas gathering systems, and processing facilities. We deliver crude oil and natural gas produced through trucking services, pipelines, and rail facilities that we do not own. The lack of availability or capacity on these systems and facilities could reduce the price offered for our production or result in the shut-in of producing wells or the delay or discontinuance of development plans for properties.

A portion of our production may also be interrupted, or shut in, from time to time for numerous other reasons, including as a result of accidents, weather, field labor issues or strikes, or we might voluntarily curtail production in response to market conditions. If a substantial amount of our production is interrupted at the same time, it could adversely affect our cash flow.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers and internal audit function, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. To assist management, we have established an internal audit function to verify and monitor our internal controls and procedures. Our internal control system is supported by written policies and procedures, contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and is audited by the internal audit function. Appropriate actions are taken by management to correct deficiencies as they are identified.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Information regarding our legal proceedings can be found in Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Disclosure of certain environmental matters is required when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and the proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that we reasonably believe could exceed a specified threshold. Pursuant to Item 103 of Regulation S-K, we have elected to apply a threshold of $1 million for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required. Applying this threshold, we are not aware of any such proceedings required to be disclosed for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Our business faces many risks. Any of the risk factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or our other SEC filings could have a material impact on our business, financial position, or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business operation. For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the risk factors identified in Part I, Item 1A in our 2024 Form 10-K, together with other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports and materials we may subsequently file with the SEC. We have identified these risk factors as important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any written or oral forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf.
