NOTE 1 —NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Matador Resources Company, a Texas corporation (“Matador” and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), is an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development, production and acquisition of oil and natural gas resources in the United States, with an emphasis on oil and natural gas shale and other unconventional plays. The Company’s current operations are focused primarily on the oil and liquids-rich portion of the Wolfcamp and Bone Spring plays in the Delaware Basin in Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. The Company also has operations in the Haynesville shale and Cotton Valley plays in Northwest Louisiana. Additionally, the Company conducts midstream operations primarily through its midstream joint venture, San Mateo Midstream, LLC and its subsidiaries (“San Mateo”), in support of, and to provide flow assurance for, the Company’s exploration, development and production operations and provides natural gas processing, oil transportation services, oil, natural gas and produced water gathering services and produced water disposal services to third parties.
NOTE 2 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Financial Statements, Basis of Presentation, Consolidation and Significant Estimates
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) but do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025 (the “Annual Report”). The Company consolidates certain subsidiaries and joint ventures that are less-than-wholly-owned and are not involved in oil and natural gas exploration, including San Mateo, and the net income and equity attributable to the non-controlling interest in these subsidiaries have been reported separately as required by Accounting Standards Codification, Consolidation (Topic 810). The Company proportionately consolidates certain joint ventures that are less-than-wholly-owned and are involved in oil and natural gas exploration. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In management’s opinion, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025. Amounts as of December 31, 2024 are derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions may also affect disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are based on a number of significant estimates, including oil and natural gas revenues, accrued assets and liabilities, stock-based compensation, valuation of derivative instruments, deferred tax assets and liabilities, purchase price allocations and oil and natural gas reserves. The estimates of oil and natural gas reserves quantities and future net cash flows are the basis for the calculations of depletion and impairment of oil and natural gas properties, as well as estimates in the purchase price allocations and of asset retirement obligations and certain tax accruals. While the Company believes its estimates are reasonable, changes in facts and assumptions or the discovery of new information may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Property and Equipment
The Company uses the full-cost method of accounting for its investments in oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, the Company is required to perform a ceiling test each quarter that determines a limit, or ceiling, on the capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties based primarily on the after-tax estimated future net cash flows from oil and natural gas properties using a 10% discount rate and the arithmetic average of first-day-of-the-month oil and natural gas prices for the prior 12-month period. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the cost center ceiling was higher than the capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, and, as a result, no impairment charge was necessary.
The Company capitalized approximately $17.5 million and $17.1 million of its general and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company capitalized approximately $8.7 million and $5.9 million of its interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Pro Forma Information
The results of Ameredev’s operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since September 18, 2024. The following unaudited pro forma financial information represents a summary of the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, assuming the Ameredev Acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2023. The pro forma financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or the consolidated financial position of the Company would have been had the Ameredev Acquisition occurred on the dates noted above, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of operations or consolidated financial position of the Company. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected because of various factors.
The information below reflects certain nonrecurring pro forma adjustments that were directly related to the business combination based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions that the Company believes provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the Ameredev Acquisition, including (i) the increase in depletion reflecting the relative fair values and production volumes attributable to Ameredev’s properties and the revision to the depletion rate reflecting the reserve volumes acquired, (ii) adjustments to interest expense as a result of the incremental borrowings necessary to finance the Ameredev Acquisition and (iii) the estimated tax impacts of the pro-forma adjustments. The pro forma financial information does not reflect the benefits of projected synergies, potential cost savings or the costs that may be necessary to achieve such savings, opportunities to increase revenue generation or other factors that may result from the Ameredev Acquisition and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. Management cannot identify the timing, nature and amount of such savings, costs or other factors, any of which could affect the future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position of the Company.

NOTE 9 —FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company measures and reports certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is 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 (exit price). Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories.
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes those derivative instruments that are valued with industry standard models that consider various inputs, including: (i) quoted forward prices for commodities, (ii) time value of money and (iii) current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the derivative instrument and can be derived from observable data or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.
NOTE 9 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS — Continued
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data that reflect a company’s own market assumptions.
Financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, which may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The following tables summarize the valuation of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with the classifications provided above as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands).
