Riley Exploration Permian Inc

(1) Nature of Business

Riley Permian is a growth-oriented, independent oil and natural gas company focused on horizontal drilling of conventional oil-saturated and liquids-rich formations in the Permian Basin that produce long-term cash flows. The majority of our acreage is located in Yoakum County, Texas, which represents our Champions field and Eddy County, New Mexico, which represents our Red Lake field.

(2) Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, include the accounts of Riley Permian and our consolidated subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported total assets, total liabilities, shareholders' equity, results of operations or cash flows. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2024 Annual Report.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented, which adjustments were of a normal recurring nature, except as disclosed herein. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full-year ending December 31, 2025, for various reasons, including fluctuations in prices received for oil and natural gas, natural production declines, the uncertainty of exploration and development drilling results, fluctuations in the fair value of derivative instruments, unpredictability of new tariffs, the current and future impacts of military conflicts, changes to the political environment under the new administration and other factors.

(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions may also affect disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

The Company evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis, using historical experience, consultation with experts and other methods the Company considers reasonable in the particular circumstances. Actual results may differ significantly from the Company’s estimates. Any effects on the Company’s business, financial position or results of operations resulting from revisions to these estimates are recorded in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves and related present value estimates of future net cash flows therefrom, the carrying value of oil and natural gas properties, accounts receivable, accrued capital expenditures and operating expenses, ARO, the fair value determination of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, certain tax accruals and the fair value of derivatives.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable, net is summarized below:

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had accounts receivables, net from oil, natural gas and NGL sales of $31.1 million.

The Company estimates uncollectible amounts based on the length of time that the accounts receivable has been outstanding, historical collection experience and current and future economic and market conditions, if failure to collect is expected to occur. Allowances for credit losses are recorded as reductions to the carrying values of the accounts receivable included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and are recorded in administrative costs in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations if failure to collect an estimable portion is determined to be probable.

Other Property and Equipment, net

Other property and equipment, net is summarized below:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this standard provide for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for the Company prospectively to all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on our disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Subtopic 220-40) Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which broadens the disclosures required for certain costs and expenses in the Company’s annual and interim consolidated financial statements. This ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact to disclosures related to our annual report for fiscal year 2027.

(4) Acquisitions of Oil and Natural Gas Properties

On July 1, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company closed the acquisition of 100% of the ownership interests of Silverback Exploration II, LLC and its subsidiaries which own oil and natural gas assets located primarily in the Yeso trend of the Permian Basin in Eddy County, New Mexico (the “Silverback Acquisition”).

Transaction costs associated with the acquisition were approximately $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. In connection with the acquisition, a deposit of $14.2 million was paid by the Company and is reflected as funds held in escrow in ouraccompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025. See Note 16 - Subsequent Events for additional information.

New Mexico Mineral Rights Acquisition

In April 2025, the Company closed on its acquisition of undivided interests in oil, natural gas and minerals, which added approximately 140 contiguous net acres to our Red Lake field for approximately $2.1 million.

2024 New Mexico Asset Acquisition

On May 7, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties in Eddy County, New Mexico ("2024 New Mexico Asset Acquisition"), which added 13,900 contiguous net acres to the Company's existing acreage in Eddy County, for a cash purchase price of approximately $19.1 million plus $0.5 million in transaction costs. The 2024 New Mexico Asset Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition, with the final purchase price and transaction costs being capitalized to oil and natural gas properties. This acquisition was funded through a combination of proceeds from the 2024 equity issuance ("2024 Equity Offering") discussed in Note 11 - Shareholders' Equity and cash on hand.

(5) Oil and Natural Gas Properties

Oil and natural gas properties are summarized below:

Depletion and amortization expense for proved oil and natural gas properties was $17.8 million and $16.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 and $35.3 million and $33.5 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024.

The cost of proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties are assessed for impairment at least annually or whenever events and circumstances indicate that a decline in the recoverability of their carrying value may have occurred. We compare the undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying amount to determine if the carrying amount is recoverable. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, we adjust the carrying amount to their estimated fair value which is considered a Level 3 measurement.

Certain oil and natural gas property in New Mexico outside of the Company's acreage in the Red Lake field failed the initial step assessment, which looked at the carrying value compared to undiscounted cash flows for this property. Based on this assessment of our long-lived assets impairment test, the carrying value exceeded the estimated fair market value and we recognized a $1.2 million non-cash impairment on proved properties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

(6) Derivative Instruments

Oil and Natural Gas Contracts

The Company uses commodity based derivative contracts to reduce exposure to fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices. While the use of these contracts partially limits the downside risk for adverse price changes, their use also partially limits future revenues from favorable price changes. We have not designated our derivative contracts as hedges for accounting purposes, and therefore changes in the fair value of derivatives are included and recognized in other income (expense) in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s oil and natural gas derivative contracts consisted of fixed price swaps, costless collars and basis swaps. The following table summarizes the open financial derivative positions as of June 30, 2025, related to our future oil and natural gas production:

Interest Rate Contracts

In March 2024, the Company entered into a fixed-to-floating interest rate swap for the period from May 2024 to December 2024, to reduce our interest rate exposure, which resulted in a gain of approximately $1 million on a notional amount of $80 million. This gain was realized upon settlement of the contracts throughout 2024.

The following table summarizes the open interest rate derivative positions as of June 30, 2025:

Balance Sheet Presentation of Derivatives

The following tables present the location and fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts included in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets:

The following table presents the components of the Company's gain (loss) on derivatives, net for the periods presented below:

(7) Fair Value Measurements

The FASB has established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy consists of three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are the highest priority and consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.

The carrying values of financial instruments comprising cash, payables, receivables and advances from joint interest owners approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value reported for the Credit Facility approximates fair value because the underlying instruments are at interest rates which approximate current market rates. The fair value of the Senior Notes is based on estimates of current rates available for similar issuances with similar maturities and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The oil and natural gas properties acquired and ARO assumed in the 2024 New Mexico Asset Acquisition and the fair value of assets and liabilities when considered for impairment are considered Level 3 measurements.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis

The fair value of commodity derivatives and interest rate swaps is estimated using discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward curves and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy:

Liabilities Not Measured on a Recurring Basis

The following table summarizes the fair value and carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments:

(1)The carrying value for the Senior Notes is shown net of unamortized discount and unamortized deferred financing costs.

The carrying value reported for the Credit Facility approximates fair value because the underlying instruments are at interest rates which approximate current market rates. The fair value of the Senior Notes was determined utilizing a discounted cash flow approach.

(8) Equity Method Investment

In January 2023, the Company formed a joint venture, RPC Power LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("RPC Power"), with Conduit Power LLC for the purpose of constructing, owning and operating power generation assets. RPC Power's initial scope and assets use the Company’s produced natural gas to power a portion of our operations in Yoakum County, Texas which became fully operational in September 2024. In May 2024, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (“A&R LLC Agreement”) to expand the scope of our joint venture to include the constructing, owning and operating of additional new power generation and storage assets, for the sale of energy and ancillary services to ERCOT ("Merchant Deal"). Upon signing the A&R LLC Agreement, the Company invested an additional $9.5 million and also increased our equity ownership in RPC Power from 35% to 50%. As the Company has significant influence due to our ownership percentage, but lacks control, RPC Power is accounted for as an equity method investment. In November 2024, the Company signed the Second Amendment to the A&R LLC Agreement, which increased the capital commitment for each owner from $42.5 million to $51.5 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had invested $30 million in the joint venture, comprised of $27.7 million in cash and $2.3 million of contributed assets, which was reduced by the Company's share of losses and increased by our share of income in the joint venture. The Company also had a remaining commitment to invest up to an additional $21.5 million, if required, to fund our portion of the remaining 2025 capital budget for the RPC Power joint venture.

See Note 9 - Transactions with Related Parties for further discussion of the contractual agreements between the Company and RPC Power and its affiliates and Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies for additional information on future commitments.

The following table presents the Company's equity method investment activity:

(9) Transactions with Related Parties

RPC Power

In January 2023, the Company entered into a 10-year agreement with RPC Power, which provides for the conversion of specified quantities of the Company’s produced natural gas to electricity to power a portion of our oilfield operations in Yoakum County, Texas ("Tolling Agreement"). The Tolling Agreement was amended and restated in June 2024 ("A&R Tolling Agreement") primarily to reflect the new in-service date of September 2024. The Company also entered into a 10-year agreement (“Asset Optimization Agreement”) in January 2023 that requires RPC Power to provide operational expertise on the implementation and management of the power generating assets subject to the A&R Tolling Agreement for a monthly fee of $20 thousand.

In May 2024, the Company entered into a 10-year natural gas supply agreement ("Supply Agreement") with RPC Merchant LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of RPC Power ("RPC Merchant"), to supply natural gas to fuel the natural gas generators under the Merchant Deal. The Company's commitment under the Supply Agreement is contingent upon project start-up which is expected to occur before the end of 2026.

The Company incurred lease operating expenses ("LOE") from RPC Power of approximately $2.1 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and approximately $3.7 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $0.6 million and $1.2 million accrued for RPC Power, which was included in accrued liabilities in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

See additional information related to RPC Power in Note 8 - Equity Method Investment and Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies for additional information on future commitments.

Contract Services

The Company and Combo Resources, LLC (“Combo”) own interests insix established units in Lee and Fayette Counties, Texas, which were jointly developed by the parties pursuant to participation agreements (collectively, the "Combo PA") and are currently operated by Riley Permian Operating Company, LLC ("RPOC"). RPOC also provided certain administrative and operational services to Combo pursuant to a management services agreement (the "Combo MSA") for a monthly fee and reimbursement of all third party expenses until the Combo MSA was terminated on January 31, 2024. Separately, the Combo PA was also terminated as of December 31, 2023, and pursuant to a letter agreement effective as of December 31, 2023, the

Company agreed to relinquish our right to acquire additional working interests within a specified area. The rights of the Company in thesix jointly owned units were not affected by this letter agreement and remain subject to the existing joint operating agreements between the parties.

The Company also provided certain administrative services pursuant to a services agreement (the "REG MSA") with Riley Exploration Group, LLC (“REG”) for a monthly fee and reimbursement of all third party expenses until the REG MSA was terminated effective May 31, 2024.

The following table presents revenues from and related cost for contract services for related parties:

The Company had no revenues from or related cost for contract services for related parties as of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and no amounts payable or receivable to Combo or REG at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

Consulting and Legal Fees

The Company has an engagement agreement with di Santo Law PLLC ("di Santo Law"), a law firm owned by Beth di Santo, a member of our Board of Directors, pursuant to which di Santo Law's attorneys provide legal services to the Company.

The Company incurred legal fees from di Santo Law of approximately $0.3 million and$0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and approximately$0.7 million and $0.8 million for thesix months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $0.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in amounts accrued for di Santo Law, which was included in other current liabilities in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(10) Long-Term Debt

The following table summarizes the Company's outstanding debt:

(1)Unamortized discount and unamortized deferred financing costs are attributable to and amortized over the term of the Senior Notes.

(2)As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the current portion of long-term debt reflects $20 million due on the Senior Notes over the next twelve months.

Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2025, Riley Exploration - Permian, LLC ("REP LLC"), as borrower, and the Company, as parent guarantor, are parties to a credit agreement with Truist Bank and certain lenders party thereto, as amended, which provides for a Credit Facility with a borrowing base of $400 million. On December 13, 2024, the Company entered into the sixteenth amendment to the Credit Facility to, among other things, extend the stated maturity date from April 2026 to December 2028 (or if any Senior Notes are then outstanding, the date that is 181 days prior to the earliest stated maturity date of such Senior Notes, in this case October 2027) and increased the borrowing base from $375 million to $400 million, which was reaffirmed in May 2025. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged to secure the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility contains certain covenants, which, among other things, require the maintenance of (i) a total leverage ratio of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and (ii) a minimum current ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of any quarter. The Credit Facility also contains a total leverage ratio for the regulation of Restricted Payments, as defined in the credit agreement after giving pro forma effect to such Restricted Payments, which includes payments to any holder of the Company's shares, would not exceed 2.50 to 1.00. If the Company's leverage ratio, after giving pro forma effect to such Restricted Payments (as defined in the Credit Agreement), is above 2.0 to 1.0, then an additional test of free cash flow is applied, and the Company will only be permitted to make such Restricted Payments if such payment does not exceed the Company's free cash flow. In addition to and after giving effect to such Restricted Payments, the availability of funds under the Company's Credit Facility must be greater than or equal to 20% of the elected commitments. The Company must maintain a minimum hedging requirement for oil and natural gas based on our proved developed producing projected volumes for oil and natural gas on a rolling 24-month basis.

The following table summarizes the Credit Facility balances:

Senior Notes

On April 3, 2023, the Company (as issuer) completed our issuance of $200 million aggregate principal amount of 10.50% senior unsecured notes with final maturity in April 2028 pursuant to a note purchase agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement"), with the Senior Notes issued at a 6% discount.

Interest is due and payable at the end of each quarter. In addition to interest, the Company will repay 2.50% of the original principal amount each quarter resulting in $5 million quarterly principal payments until the maturity of the Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $20 million in current liabilities in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets related to the quarterly principal payments due within the next 12 months.

The Company may, at our option, redeem, at any time and from time to time on or prior to April 3, 2026, some or all of the Senior Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the make-whole amount plus a premium of 5.25% as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. After April 3, 2026, but on or prior to October 3, 2026, the Company may, at our option, redeem, at any time and from time to time some or all of the Senior Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a premium of 5.25% as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. After October 3, 2026, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The principal remaining outstanding at the time of maturity is required to be paid in full by the Company. Certain note features, including those discussed above, were evaluated and deemed to be remote. Due to the remote nature, the fair value of these features was estimated to be approximately zero.

The Senior Notes contain certain covenants, which, among other things, require the maintenance of (i) a total leverage ratio of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and (ii) an asset coverage ratio greater than 1.50 to 1.00. The Senior Notes also contain a total leverage ratio and an asset coverage ratio for Restricted Payments, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement. The leverage ratio, after giving pro forma effect to such Restricted Payments, cannot exceed 2.00 to 1.00, and the asset coverage ratio, after giving effect to such Restricted Payments, must be greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00. In addition to and after giving effect to such Restricted Payments, the availability of funds under the Company's Credit Facility must be greater than or equal to 15% of the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement. Upon issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company must maintain a minimum hedging requirement included within the Senior Notes for oil and natural gas based on our proved developed producing projected volumes for oil and natural gas on a rolling 18-month basis.

The Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations ranking equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company and are senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary terms and covenants, including limitations on the Company’s ability to incur additional secured and unsecured indebtedness.

The following table summarizes the Company's interest expense:

As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility was 7.31% and 7.79%, respectively.

As of June 30, 2025, the Senior Notes had $6.3 million of unamortized discount and $2.5 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, resulting in an effective interest rate of 13.38% during the six months ended June 30, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, the Senior Notes had $7.5 million of unamortized discount and $3.0 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, resulting in an effective interest rate of 13.38% during the year ended December 31, 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and Note Purchase Agreement.

(11) Shareholders' Equity

Dividends

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company declared quarterly dividends on our common stock totaling approximately $8.4 million and $7.8 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company declared quarterly dividends on its common stock totaling approximately $16.5 million and $15.1 million, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company's stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2021 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "A&R LTIP") which authorized up to 2,337,022 shares of common stock that may be granted as awards under the A&R LTIP. In March 2025, the Company introduced performance-based restricted stock awards in addition to time-based restricted stock awards to further align the compensation of the Company's executive officers with the long-term growth and the interests of its shareholders. Performance-based restricted stock awards represent 30% of total executive award value and may be earned based on the Company’s achievement of total shareholder return relative to its peer group during the applicable three-year performance period. Payouts for the executive officers can range from 0% to 200% of the target and have cliff-vesting after three years. As a result, the Company has reduced the remaining shares available to be granted as awards under the A&R LTIP by 168,406 shares (the full 200%), which assumes the highest percentage payout for the performance-based restricted stock awards. As of June 30, 2025, the A&R LTIP had 345,302 shares remaining that are available for future awards.

2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan

The following table presents the Company's restricted stock activity during the six months ended June 30, 2025, under the A&R LTIP:

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, the total share-based compensation expense was $2.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, the total share-based compensation expense was $4.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively. Share-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative costs in the Company's accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the restricted stock awards granted under the A&R LTIP. Approximately $19.8 million of additional share-based compensation expense will be recognized over the weighted average life of 28 months for the unvested restricted stock awards as of June 30, 2025.

At-The-Market Equity Sales Program

The Company's Equity Distribution Agreement in connection with an ATM allows the Company to offer and sell from time to time up to an aggregate $50 million in shares of the Company's common stock through our agents. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did not execute any sales under the ATM program. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had remaining capacity to sell up to an additional $49.7 million of common stock under the ATM program.

2024 Equity Offering

On April 8, 2024, the Company issued and sold 1,015,000 shares of common stock at a price of $27.00 per share. Net proceeds from the 2024 Equity Offering were approximately $25.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses. The proceeds were used for financing an acquisition, repayment of outstanding debt and general corporate purposes.

(12) Income Taxes

The components of the Company's consolidated provision for income taxes from operations are as follows:

A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company's effective income tax rate is as follows:

The Company's federal income tax returns for the years subsequent to December 31, 2020, remain subject to examination. The Company's income tax returns in major state income tax jurisdictions remain subject to examination for various periods subsequent to December 31, 2019. The Company currently believes that all other significant filing positions are highly certain and that all of our other significant income tax positions and deductions would be sustained under audit or the final resolution would not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the Company has not established any reserves for uncertain tax positions.

On July 4, 2025, new tax legislation know as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law. The legislation, among other things, makes permanent, extends or modifies certain provisions under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including permanent extension of 100% bonus depreciation for certain capital expenditures and the limitation on interest expense deductions. Pursuant to ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, the effects of changes in tax law are recognized in the period of enactment. As such, this legislation is not reflected in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new legislation on our consolidated financial statements.

(13) Net Income Per Share

The Company calculated net income per share using the treasury stock method. The table below sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:

The following shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share due to their anti-dilutive effect:

(14) Segments

The Company’s oil and gas exploration and production activities are solely focused in the U.S. For financial reporting purposes, the Company aggregates our operating segments intoone reporting segment due to the similar nature of these operations.

The following table presents consolidated net income, the significant measure of profit and loss used by the CODM, as well as total assets, capital expenditures and our equity method investment for the Company's single reportable segment:

(1)Other segment items include transaction costs and cost of contract services - related parties.

(2)Interest expense is shown gross of, or prior to the effect of interest income.

(3)There are no reconciling items between net income presented in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and segment net income.

(4)Capital expenditures are accrual (activity-based) before acquisitions.

(15) Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

Due to the nature of the Company's business, the Company may at times be subject to claims and legal actions. The Company accrues liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred, and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are based on developments to date and the Company’s estimates of the outcomes of these matters. The Company did not recognize any material liability for legal matters as of June 30, 2025, or December 31, 2024. Management believes it is remote that the impact of such matters will have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. These laws, which are often changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Company to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites. The Company hadno material environmental liabilities as of June 30, 2025, or December 31, 2024.

Contractual Commitments

The Company is a party to a gas gathering, treating and processing agreement with our primary midstream counterparty in Texas. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to deliver an annual minimum volume during the contract term. As of June 30, 2025, approximatelysix years remain under this contract.

Under the A&R Tolling Agreement with RPC Power, the Company has committed to provide specified quantities of our natural gas for 10 years following the in-service date, for a fee based on a per MMBtu basis adjusted for contractual usage factors. The Company also entered into the Asset Optimization Agreement that requires RPC Power to provide operational expertise on the implementation and management of the power generating assets subject to the A&R Tolling Agreement for a monthly fee of $20 thousand.
