Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Permian Resources Corporation is an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the responsible acquisition, optimization and development of crude oil and associated liquids-rich natural gas reserves. The Company’s assets and operations are located in the Permian Basin, with a concentration in the core of the Delaware Basin. Its properties consist of large, contiguous acreage blocks located in West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, all references in these notes to “Permian Resources” or the “Company” are to Permian Resources Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Permian Resources Operating, LLC (“OpCo”).

Corporation Reorganization

On January 7, 2026, the Company completed a corporate reorganization pursuant to which it, among other things, reorganized under a new public holding company (the “Reorganization”). In connection with the Reorganization, the public holding company prior to the Reorganization became a wholly owned subsidiary of the new public holding company, which, following completion of the Reorganization, changed its name to “Permian Resources Corporation”, became the successor issuer of the prior public holding company and replaced the prior public holding company as the company trading on the NYSE, with shares of Class A Common Stock continuing to trade on the NYSE on an uninterrupted basis. There were no changes to the Company’s board of directors, executive officers, operations, name or public company trading following the Reorganization. The Reorganization was completed in an effort, among other things, to simplify the Company’s current equity structure. Refer to Note 9—Shareholders’ Equity and Noncontrolling Interestfor further information around the changes to the equity structure.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain disclosures normally included in an Annual Report on Form 10-K have been omitted or abbreviated. The consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”). Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes to the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Annual Report. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income, cash flows or shareholders’ equity previously reported.

In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments and accruals considered necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s interim financial results have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiary OpCo and OpCo’s wholly owned subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interest represents third-party ownership in OpCo and as of March 31, 2026, was fully eliminated. Refer to Note 9—Shareholders’ Equity and Noncontrolling Interestfor a discussion of noncontrolling interest.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires the Company’s management to make various assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosures of commitments and contingencies. Changes in these assumptions, judgments and estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events, and accordingly, actual results could differ from amounts previously established. Additionally, the prices received for oil, NGL and natural gas production can heavily influence the Company’s assumptions, judgments and estimates, and continued volatility of oil and gas prices could have a significant impact on the Company’s estimates.

The more significant areas requiring the use of assumptions, judgments and estimates include: (i) oil and natural gas reserves; (ii) cash flow estimates used in impairment tests for long-lived assets; (iii) impairment expense of unproved properties; (iv) depreciation, depletion and amortization; (v) asset retirement obligations; (vi) determining fair value and allocating purchase price in connection with business combinations and asset acquisitions; (vii) accrued revenues and related receivables; (viii) accrued liabilities; (ix) derivative valuations; (x) deferred income taxes; and (xi) determining the fair values of certain stock-based compensation awards.

Leases

The Company has operating leases for drilling rig contracts, office rental agreements and other wellhead equipment and a financing lease for a ground lease for its office building in Midland, Texas. The Company did not enter into any material, non-routine leases during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

The following table provides additional information related to the Company’s lease assets and liabilities as presented on the balance sheet for the periods presented:

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income or loss of OpCo, as well as any stand-alone income generated by the Company. OpCo is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, OpCo is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income generated by OpCo is passed through to and included in the taxable income of its members, including the Company, on a pro rata basis.

Income tax expense recognized during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to the Company’s year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various state jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

Segment Reporting

The nature of the Company’s operations and geographical location of such are concentrated to exploration and production of oil and natural gas within the Permian Basin. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is each of its Co-Chief Executive Officers who manage and review the Company’s operations on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, the Company operates inone reportable segment.

The CODM uses consolidated net income to measure profit or loss, assess performance and make key operating decisions. Additionally, the CODM utilizes cash flows to facilitate investment decisions, including determining future levels of developmental capital expenditures, assessing potential acquisitions and divestitures, assessing appropriate returns of capital to shareholders and other strategic sources and uses of capital. The CODM does not generally evaluate performance using asset information. Consolidated net income and all significant expenses are reported within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations while cash flows are presented on the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires public business entities to disclose specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The adoption of this ASU is anticipated to impact only disclosure requirements, and as a result, no impact is expected on the Company’s balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2—Acquisitions

Bolt-On Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company completed multiple acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties for a cumulative adjusted purchase price of approximately $204.9 million and $35.4 million, respectively. These transactions were recorded as asset acquisitions in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations(“ASC 805”).

On June 16, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of approximately 13,000 net leasehold acres with Apache Corporation for an unadjusted purchase price of $608 million. The acreage acquired is predominately located directly offsetting the Company’s existing asset position in the core of its New Mexico operating area. The acquisition was recorded as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805. Total consideration paid was $572.3 million after settlement statement adjustments, of which $500.6 million was allocated to proved properties and $80.8 million to unproved properties on a relative fair value basis with the remaining $9.1 million related to liabilities assumed.

Credit Agreement

OpCo has a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that provides for a secured revolving credit facility, maturing in February 2028 (the “Credit Agreement”). As of March 31, 2026, the Company hadno borrowings outstanding and $2.5 billion in available borrowing capacity.

The amount available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement is equal to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base, which is set at $4.0 billion; (ii) aggregate elected revolving commitments, which is set at $2.5 billion; or (iii) $6.0 billion. The borrowing base is redetermined semi-annually in the spring and the fall by the lenders in their sole discretion. It also allows for the Company to requesttwo optional borrowing base redeterminations in between the scheduled redeterminations; one at the Borrower’s request and an additional one in connection with any Material Acquisition (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The borrowing base depends on, among other things, the quantities of OpCo’s proved oil and natural gas reserves, estimated cash flows from those reserves, and the Company’s commodity hedge positions. Upon a redetermination of the borrowing base, if actual borrowings outstanding exceed the revised borrowing capacity, OpCo could be required to immediately repay a portion of its debt outstanding in an amount equal to the excess. Upon our election to commence an Investment Grade Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the borrowing base and the foregoing requirements were suspended. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of OpCo’s subsidiaries.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be base rate loans or SOFR loans. Interest is payable quarterly for base rate loans and at the end of the applicable interest period for SOFR loans. Prior to the commencement of the Investment Grade Period, SOFR loans bore interest at SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 162.5 to 262.5 basis points, depending on the percentage of elected commitments utilized. Base rate loans bore interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of: (i) the agent bank’s prime rate; (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points; or (iii) the adjusted Term SOFR rate for a one-month interest period plus 100 basis points, plus an applicable margin, ranging from 62.5 to 162.5 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. OpCo also paid a commitment fee of 37.5 to 50 basis points on unused elected commitment amounts under the Credit Agreement. Following commencement of the Investment Grade Period, SOFR loans bear interest at SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 112.5 to 175.0 basis points, depending on our index debt rating. Base rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of: (i) the agent bank’s prime rate; (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points; or (iii) the adjusted Term SOFR rate for a one-month interest period plus 100 basis points, plus an applicable margin, ranging from 12.5 to 75.0 basis points, depending on our index debt rating. OpCo also pays a commitment fee of 12.5 to 25.0 basis points on unused elected commitment amounts under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants that limit our ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) make investments and loans; (iii) enter into mergers; (iv) make restricted payments; (v) repurchase or redeem junior debt; (vi) enter into commodity hedges exceeding a specified percentage of our expected production; (vii) enter into interest rate hedges exceeding a specified percentage of its outstanding indebtedness; (viii) incur liens; (ix) sell assets; and (x) engage in transactions with affiliates.

The Credit Agreement also requires OpCo to maintain compliance with the following financial ratios:

(i) a current ratio, which is the ratio of OpCo’s consolidated current assets (including an add back of unused commitments under the revolving credit facility and excluding non-cash derivative assets and certain restricted cash) to its consolidated current liabilities (excluding the current portion of long-term debt under the Credit Agreement and non-cash derivative liabilities), of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; and

(ii) a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of total funded debt to consolidated EBITDAX (with such terms defined within the Credit Agreement) for the most recent quarter annualized, of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0.

Upon commencement of the Investment Grade Period, certain covenants fell away and interest rates, as noted above, and collateral requirements were reduced under the Credit Agreement.

OpCo was in compliance with the covenants and the applicable financial ratios described above as of March 31, 2026.

On April 30, 2026, OpCo, as the borrower, entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility, maturing in April 2031 (the “New Credit Agreement”). In connection with our entry into the New Credit Agreement, we terminated the existing Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 13—Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the New Credit Agreement.

Senior Unsecured Notes

The table below summarizes the interest rates, interest payment dates, principal amounts outstanding and the maturity dates related to OpCo’s outstanding senior unsecured note obligations as of March 31, 2026.

OpCo may redeem some or all of its Senior Unsecured 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 Unsecured Notes. The Senior Unsecured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and each of OpCo’s current subsidiaries that guarantee borrowings under OpCo’s Credit Agreement.

If OpCo experiences certain defined changes of control accompanied by a ratings decline, each holder of the Senior Unsecured Notes may require OpCo to repurchase all or a portion of its Senior Unsecured Notes for cash at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Senior Unsecured Notes, plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

The indentures governing the Senior Unsecured Notes contain covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, limit OpCo’s ability and the ability of OpCo’s restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain types of preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; (iii) transfer or sell assets; (iv) make investments; (v) create certain liens; (vi) enter into agreements that restrict dividends or other payments from their subsidiaries to them; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of their assets; (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates; and (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries. Following the Company’s receipt of investment grade credit ratings from Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, Fitch Ratings Inc. and Moody’s Ratings, certain of such covenants were suspended or terminated, as applicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the indentures governing the Senior Unsecured Notes. OpCo was in compliance with any remaining covenants as of March 31, 2026.

Please refer to Note 5—Long-Term Debt included in Part II, Item 8 in the 2025 Annual Report for additional details around OpCo’s Senior Unsecured Notes.

Senior Note Redemption

On April 15, 2026, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding 8.00% Senior Notes due 2027. Refer to Note 13—Subsequent Events for additional information.

Note 5—Asset Retirement Obligations

The following table summarizes changes in the Company’s asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) associated with its working interests in oil and gas properties for the three months ended March 31, 2026:

(in thousands)
Asset retirement obligations, beginning of period$189,350
Liabilities incurred3,833
Liabilities acquired—
Liabilities divested and settled(1,420)
Accretion expense3,151
Asset retirement obligations, end of period194,914
Less current portion(1)(25,060)
Asset retirement obligations - long-term, end of period$169,854

(1)The current portion of ARO is included within Other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

ARO reflect the present value of the estimated future costs associated with the plugging and abandonment of oil and gas wells, removal of equipment and facilities from leased acreage and land restoration in accordance with applicable local, state and federal laws. Inherent in the fair value calculation of ARO are numerous estimates and assumptions, including plug and abandonment settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates and the timing of settlement. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the value of the existing ARO liabilities, a corresponding offsetting adjustment is made to the oil and gas property balance. Changes in the liability due to the passage of time are recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the liability with an offsetting charge to accretion expense, which is included within depreciation, depletion and amortization.

Note 6—Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) that has a total of 71,718,560 shares of Class A Common Stock authorized for issuance and provides for grants of certain types of equity and cash-based awards.

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized within both General and administrative expenses and Exploration and other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company accounts for forfeitures of awards granted under the LTIP as they occur.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense recognized for the periods presented:

Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)20262025
Equity Awards
Restricted Stock$8,869$6,214
Performance stock units7,33310,715
Total stock-based compensation expense$16,202$16,929

Equity Awards

The Company has restricted stock, which includes both restricted stock and restricted stock units (collectively, “Restricted Stock”), stock options and performance stock units (“PSUs”) outstanding that were granted under the LTIP as discussed below. Each award has service-based and, in the case of the PSUs, market-based vesting requirements, and is expected to be settled in shares of Class A Common Stock upon vesting. As a result, these awards are classified as equity-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.

Restricted Stock

The following table provides information about Restricted Stock activity during the three months ended March 31, 2026:

Restricted StockWeighted Average Fair Value
Unvested balance as of December 31, 20256,107,715$14.17

Vested(990,328)13.86
Forfeited——
Unvested balance as of March 31, 20265,495,76214.50

The Company grants service-based Restricted Stock to certain officers and employees, which either vests ratably over athree-year service period or cliff vests upon atwelve month tofive year service period, and to directors, which vest over aone-year service period. Compensation cost for these service-based Restricted Stock grants is based on the closing market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the grant date, and such costs are recognized ratably over the applicable vesting period. The total fair value of Restricted Stock that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $13.7 million and $7.3 million, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to Restricted Stock that were unvested as of March 31, 2026 was $58.9 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

Stock Options

Stock options that have been granted under the LTIP expireten years from the grant date and vest ratably over their three-year service period. The exercise price for an option granted under the LTIP is the closing market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the grant date. Compensation cost for stock options is based on the grant-date fair value of the award, which is then recognized ratably over the vesting period ofthree years.

The following table provides information about stock option awards outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2026:

Exercisable as of March 31, 2026143,00016.131.9745

Performance Stock Units

The Company grants PSUs to certain officers and members of management that are subject to market-based vesting criteria as well as a service period ofthree years. Vesting at the end of the service period depends on the Company’s absolute annualized total shareholder return (“TSR”) over the performance period, as well as the Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of a group of peer companies. These market-based conditions must be met in order for the stock awards to vest, and it is therefore possible that no shares could ultimately vest. However, the Company recognizes compensation expense for the PSUs subject to market conditions regardless of whether it becomes probable that these conditions will be met or not, and compensation expense is not reversed if vesting does not actually occur.

The Company’s PSUs currently outstanding can be settled in either Class A Common Stock or cash upon vesting at the Company’s discretion. The Company intends to settle all PSUs in Class A Common Stock and has sufficient shares available under the LTIP to settle the units in Class A Common Stock at the potential future vesting dates. Accordingly, the PSUs have been treated as equity-based awards with their fair values determined as of the grant date. The fair values of the awards are estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The Monte Carlo valuation model is based on a large number of simulated stock price paths and potential TSR for the Company and its peer companies and produces a probabilistic assessment of fair value. Expected volatility was calculated based on the implied volatility of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and its peer companies, consistent with the remaining term of the performance period, or historical volatility where implied volatility data was unavailable for the respective term. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield curve rates with maturities consistent with the vesting periods.

The following table summarizes the key assumptions and related information used to determine the fair value of PSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026:

2026 Awards
Fair value per share$28.07
Expected implied stock volatility41.4%
Risk-free interest rate3.4%

The following table provides information about PSUs outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2026:

Granted1,964,33328.07
Vested——
Forfeited——
Unvested balance as of March 31, 20267,202,94220.70

As of March 31, 2026, there was $83.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to PSUs that were unvested, which the Company expects to recognize on a pro-rata basis over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

Note 7—Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations and may use derivative instruments to manage its exposure to commodity price risk from time to time.

Commodity Derivative Contracts

Historically, prices received for crude oil and natural gas production have been volatile because of supply and demand factors, worldwide political factors, general economic conditions and seasonal weather patterns. The Company may periodically use derivative instruments, such as swaps, costless collars, basis swaps, and other similar agreements, to mitigate its exposure to declines in commodity prices and to the corresponding negative impacts such declines can have on its cash flows from operations, returns on capital and other financial results. While the use of these instruments limits the downside risk of adverse price changes, their use may also limit future revenues from favorable price changes. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

Commodity Swaps. The Company may use commodity derivative instruments known as fixed price swaps to realize a known price for a specific volume of production or basis swaps to hedge the difference between the index price and a local or future index price. All transactions are settled in cash with one party paying the other for the resulting difference in price multiplied by the contract volume.

The following table summarizes the approximate volumes and average contract prices of derivative contracts the Company had in place as of March 31, 2026:

Derivative Instrument Reporting. The Company’s oil and natural gas derivative instruments have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Therefore, all gains and losses are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, other than derivative instruments that meet the “normal purchase normal sale” exclusion, and any fair value gains and losses are recognized in current period earnings.

The following table presents the impact of the Company’s derivative instruments in its consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented:

Three Months Ended March 31,

Net gain (loss) on derivative instruments$(339,924)$57,731

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Liabilities. The Company’s commodity derivatives are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as derivative assets and liabilities. The Company nets its financial derivative instrument fair value amounts executed with the same counterparty pursuant to ISDA master netting agreements, which provide for net settlement over the term of the contract and in the event of default or termination of the contract. The tables below summarize the fair value amounts and the classification in the consolidated balance sheets of the Company’s derivative contracts outstanding at the respective balance dates, as well as the gross recognized derivative assets, liabilities and offset amounts:

(1) The Company has agreements in place with each of its counterparties that allow for the financial right of offset for derivative assets against derivative liabilities at settlement or in the event of a default under the agreements or if contracts are terminated.

Contingent Features in Financial Derivative Instruments. None of the Company’s derivative instruments contain credit-risk-related contingent features. Counterparties to the Company’s financial derivative contracts are high credit-quality financial institutions that are primarily lenders under the Credit Agreement. The Company intends to enter into new hedge arrangements primarily with participants under the New Credit Agreement. These hedge arrangements were previously secured equally with the holders of any debt under the Credit Agreement, which eliminated the potential need to post collateral when the Company is in a derivative liability position. Upon commencement of the Investment Grade Period, the security interests attached to such hedge arrangements were terminated simultaneously with the termination of security interests under the Credit Agreement. The Company is not required to post letters of credit or corporate guarantees for its derivative counterparties in order to secure contract performance obligations.

In addition, the Company is exposed to credit risk associated with its derivative contracts from non-performance by its counterparties. The Company mitigates its exposure to any single counterparty by contracting with a number of financial institutions, each of which has a high credit rating and generally is a lender under the New Credit Agreement as referenced above.

Note 8—Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure, which establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1: Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2: Significant Other Observable Inputs – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3: Significant Unobservable Inputs – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents, for each applicable level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s net derivative assets and liabilities, including both current and noncurrent portions, measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

(in thousands)Level 1Level 2Level 3
Total assets$—$72,860$—
Total liabilities—162,322—
Total assets$—$280,471$—
Total liabilities—636—

Both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are categorized within the above fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used by the Company as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the above fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between any of the fair value levels during any period presented.

Derivatives

The Company uses Level 2 inputs to measure the fair value of its oil and natural gas commodity derivatives. The Company uses industry-standard models that consider various assumptions including current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, implied market volatility, time value, nonperformance risk, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument and can be supported by observable data. The Company utilizes its counterparties’ valuations to assess the reasonableness of its own valuations. Refer to Note 7—Derivative Instruments for details of the gross and net derivative assets, liabilities and offset amounts as presented in the consolidated balance sheets.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies the provisions of the fair value measurement standard on a nonrecurring basis to its non-financial assets and liabilities, including proved oil and gas properties. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances.

Oil and Gas Property Acquisitions. The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured on the acquisition date using an income valuation technique based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. Significant inputs to the valuation of acquired oil and gas properties include estimates of: (i) reserves; (ii) production rates; (iii) future operating and development costs; (iv) future commodity prices, including price differentials; (v) future cash flows; (vi) a market participant-based weighted average cost of capital rate; and (vii) risk adjustment factors applied to proved and unproved reserves. These inputs require significant judgements and estimates by the Company’s management at the time of valuation.

Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties. The Company reviews its proved oil and natural gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the fair value of these assets may be below their carrying value. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows from oil and gas properties is less than the carrying amount of the assets. In this circumstance, the Company then recognizes impairment expense for the amount by which the carrying amount of proved properties exceeds their estimated fair value. The Company reviews its oil and natural gas properties on a field-by-field basis.

The Company calculates the estimated fair value of its oil and natural gas properties using an income approach that is based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. Significant inputs to the expected future net cash flows used for the impairment review and the related fair value measurement of oil and natural gas proved properties include estimates of: (i) oil and gas reserves; (ii) future production decline rates; (iii) future operating and development costs; (iv) future commodity prices, including price differentials; and (v) a market participant-based weighted average cost of capital rate. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates by the Company’s management.

Asset Retirement Obligations. The initial measurement of ARO at fair value is calculated using discounted cash flow techniques and is based on internal estimates of future retirement costs associated with property, plant and equipment. Significant Level 3 inputs used in the calculation of ARO include the estimated future costs to plug and abandon oil and gas properties and reserve lives. Refer to Note 5—Asset Retirement Obligations for additional information on the Company’s ARO.

Other Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturities and/or liquid nature of these assets and liabilities.

The Company’s senior notes and borrowings under the Credit Agreement are accounted for at cost. The following table summarizes the carrying values, principal amounts and fair values of these instruments as of the periods indicated:

March 31, 2026December 31, 2025

(1)The carrying values of the amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement approximate fair value because its variable interest rates are tied to current market rates and the applicable credit spreads represent current market rates for the credit risk profile of the Company.

(2)The carrying values include associated unamortized debt issuance costs and any debt discounts or premiums as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair values are determined using quoted market prices for these debt securities, a Level 1 classification in the fair value hierarchy, and are based on the aggregate principal amount of the senior notes outstanding.

(3)On April 15, 2026, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding 8.00% senior notes due 2027 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of $550.0 million plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Note 9—Shareholders’ Equity and Noncontrolling Interest

Corporation Reorganization and Stock Conversions

In connection with the Reorganization, certain shareholders surrendered 48.9 million shares of Class C Common Stock to the Company for no value, which shares were subsequently canceled, and thereafter the corresponding underlying common units of OpCo (“Common Units”) were contributed to the new public holding company in exchange for newly issued shares of its Class A Common Stock. No Class A Common Stock or Class C Common Stock was sold as part of these transactions, and the aggregate amount of the Company’s total common stock outstanding remained the same following the Reorganization as existing common stock of the Company was exchanged for corresponding equity of the new public holding company on a one-for-one basis.

A portion of the Class C Common Stock surrendered in connection with the Reorganization was held by certain executive officers and entities controlled by a member of the Company’s board of directors and constituted a related party transaction in accordance with ASC 850, Related Party Transactions. No cash was exchanged and no amounts due from or to the related parties were recorded in connection with the transaction.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, including the exchanges completed in connection with the Reorganization, certain legacy owners of Colgate Energy Partners III, LLC (“Colgate”) and Earthstone Energy, Inc. (“Earthstone”) exchanged an aggregate 84.4 million and 0.5 million, respectively, of their Common Units, with the cancellation of a corresponding number of shares of Class C Common Stock, for an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock. Deferred tax liabilities of $137.0 million and less than $0.1 million were recorded in equity as a result of the conversions of shares from the noncontrolling interest owners for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. No cash proceeds were received by the Company in connection with these transactions.

Noncontrolling Interest

The noncontrolling interest relates to Common Units that were issued in connection with the merger with Colgate on September 1, 2022 and the merger with Earthstone on November 1, 2023. The noncontrolling interest percentage is affected by various equity transactions such as conversions of Common Units for Class A Common Stock (and corresponding Class C Common Stock cancellations) and transactions involving Class A Common Stock. The Company consolidates the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of OpCo and reflects the portion retained by other holders of Common Units as a noncontrolling interest. Refer to the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for a summary of the activity attributable to the noncontrolling interest during the periods presented.

The exchanges related to the Reorganization reduced the noncontrolling interest ownership of OpCo from 10% as of December 31, 2025 to approximately 4%. Separate from and subsequent to the Reorganization, the remaining legacy owners exchanged all of their outstanding Common Units for Class A Common Stock, reducing the noncontrolling interest tozero as of March 31, 2026.

Dividends

The following table summarizes the Company’s dividend per share of Class A Common Stock and distribution per Common Unit (each of which has an underlying share of Class C Common Stock) declared and paid during each period:

Dividend/Distribution per ShareTotal Dividends/Distributions Declared and Paid

Note 10—Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Class A Common Stock by the weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average shares of diluted Class A Common Stock outstanding, which includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities for the diluted EPS calculation consists of (i) unvested equity-based Restricted Stock and PSUs as well as outstanding stock options, all using the treasury stock method; and (ii) the Company’s Class C Common Stock and shares issuable for the 3.25% senior unsecured convertible notes due 2028 (the “Convertible Senior Notes”) using the “if-converted” method. The Convertible Senior Notes were fully redeemed during the year ended December 31, 2025, and therefore are no longer dilutive securities in the EPS calculation.

The following table reflects the EPS computations for the periods indicated based on a weighted average number of Class A Common Stock outstanding each period:

Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company routinely enters into, extends or amends operating agreements in the ordinary course of business. There has been no material, non-routine changes in commitments during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Contingencies

The Company may at times be subject to various commercial or regulatory claims, prior period adjustments from service providers, litigation or other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these lawsuits and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes it is remote that the impact of such matters that are reasonably possible to occur will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Management is unaware of any pending litigation brought against the Company requiring a contingent liability to be recognized as of the date of these consolidated financial statements.

Note 12—Revenues

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Crude oil, NGL and natural gas sales are recognized at the point that control of the product is transferred to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Substantially all of the Company’s contract pricing provisions are tied to a market index, with certain adjustments based on, among other factors, transportation costs to an active market and quality differentials. As a result, the Company’s realized prices of oil, NGLs and natural gas fluctuate to remain competitive with other available oil, NGLs and natural gas supplies both globally and locally.

Oil and gas revenues presented within the consolidated statements of operations relate to the sale of oil, NGLs and natural gas and purchased gas sales as shown below:

Three Months Ended March 31,
20262025
Operating revenues (in thousands):
Oil sales$1,227,594$1,109,771
NGL sales154,393185,022
Natural gas sales(18,504)81,658
Purchased gas sales, net24,663—
Oil and gas sales$1,388,146$1,376,451

Oil sales

The Company’s crude oil sales contracts are generally structured whereby oil is delivered to the purchaser at a contractually agreed-upon delivery point at which the purchaser takes title of the product. This delivery point is usually at the wellhead or at the inlet of a transportation pipeline. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the purchaser at the delivery point based on the net price received from the purchaser. Any downstream transportation costs incurred by crude purchasers are reflected as a net reduction to oil sales revenues.

NGL and Natural gas sales

Under the Company’s natural gas processing contracts, liquids rich natural gas is delivered to a midstream gathering and processing entity at the agreed upon delivery point at which the purchaser takes title of the product. The midstream processing entity gathers and processes the raw gas and then remits proceeds to the Company. For these contracts, the Company evaluates when control is transferred and revenue should be recognized. Where the Company elects to take its NGL or residue gas product

“in-kind” at the plant tailgate, fees incurred prior to transfer of control at the outlet of the plant are presented as Gathering, processing and transportation expenses within the consolidated statements of operations. Where the Company does not take its NGL or residue gas products “in-kind”, transfer of control occurs at the inlet of the gas gathering systems, or prior, and fees incurred subsequent to this point are reflected as a net reduction to NGL and natural gas sales revenues presented in the table above.

Purchased gas sales

The Company has entered into a series of natural gas purchase and sale agreements to facilitate the sale of natural gas at additional markets. The proceeds and costs of these transactions are presented net as they are transacted with the same counterparty (or same related parties) as shown in the line item Purchased gas sales, net in the table above.

Performance obligations

For all commodity products, the Company records revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser. Settlement statements for crude oil are generally received within 30 days following the date that production volumes are delivered, but for NGL and natural gas sales, statements may not be received for 30 to 60 days after delivery has occurred. However, payment is unconditional once the performance obligations have been satisfied. At such time, the volumes delivered and sales prices can be reasonably estimated and amounts due from customers are accrued in Accounts receivable, net in the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, such receivable balances were $602.8 million and $435.0 million, respectively.

The Company records any differences between its estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. Historically, any identified differences between revenue estimates and actual revenue received have not been significant. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, revenue recognized in the reporting period related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods were not material.

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations

For the Company’s product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC Topic 606, Revenue from contracts with Customers, which states the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these sales contracts, monthly sales of a product generally represent a separate performance obligation. Therefore, future commodity volumes to be delivered and sold are wholly unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to such unsatisfied performance obligations is not required.

Note 13—Subsequent Events

Senior Note Redemption

On April 15, 2026, the Company redeemed all of its outstanding 8.00% senior notes due 2027 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of $550.0 million plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the redemption date.

New Credit Agreement

On April 30, 2026, OpCo entered into the New Credit Agreement that provides for a $3.0 billion senior unsecured credit facility. The New Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s existing Credit Agreement, which was terminated without penalty in connection with the consummation of the New Credit Agreement.

The New Credit Agreement has a scheduled maturity date of April 30, 2031, and includes an option to extend the term for successive one-year periods, subject to, among certain other terms and conditions, the consent of the lenders holding greater than 50% of the commitments then outstanding under the New Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement commits the lenders thereunder to provide advances up to an aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion outstanding at any given time, with an option to request increases in the aggregate commitments to an amount not to exceed $4.0 billion, subject to certain terms and conditions. The New Credit Agreement also includes a swingline subfacility and a letter of credit subfacility.

Advances under the New Credit Agreement will accrue interest based on either SOFR plus an applicable margin, or the Alternate Base Rate plus an applicable margin at the Company’s election, with such terms being defined in the New Credit Agreement. The applicable margin used in connection with interest rates, as well as commitment fees for undrawn commitments, will be based on the Company’s credit rating for its long-term senior unsecured indebtedness for borrowed money (not supported by third-party credit enhancement) at the applicable time. As of April 30, 2026, the applicable margin for SOFR and Alternate Base Rate Loans is 150 basis points and 50 basis points, respectively, and the commitment fee is 20 basis points.

The New Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and events of default that the Company believes are customary for investment grade, senior unsecured commercial bank credit agreements, including a financial covenant for the maintenance of a ratio of Total Indebtedness to Capitalization Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) of no greater than 65%.
