Magnolia Oil & Gas Corp

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Nature of Operations

Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation (the “Company” or “Magnolia”) is an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the acquisition, development, exploration, and production of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquid (“NGL”) reserves. The Company’s oil and natural gas properties are located primarily in the Karnes and Giddings areas in South Texas where the Company targets the Eagle Ford Shale and Austin Chalk formations. Magnolia’s objective is to generate stock market value over the long-term through consistent organic production growth, high full cycle operating margins, an efficient capital program with short economic paybacks, significant free cash flow after capital expenditures, and effective reinvestment of free cash flow.

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 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. 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, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). 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 Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.

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 and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances. The Company’s interests in oil and natural gas exploration and production ventures and partnerships are proportionately consolidated. The Company reflects a noncontrolling interest representing the interest owned by the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders through their ownership of Magnolia LLC Units in the consolidated financial statements. The noncontrolling interest is presented as a component of equity. See Note 10—Stockholders’ Equity for further discussion of the noncontrolling interest.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s significant accounting policies are consistent with those discussed in Note 1—Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of its consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that ASU 2023-09 will have on its financial statement disclosures.

3. Revenue Recognition

Magnolia’s revenues include the sale of crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs. The Company has concluded that disaggregating revenue by product type appropriately depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors and has reflected this disaggregation of revenue on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The Company’s receivables consist mainly of trade receivables from commodity sales and joint interest billings due from owners on properties the Company operates. Receivables from contracts with customers totaled $115.1 million as of September 30, 2024 and $124.4 million as of December 31, 2023. For further detail regarding the Company’s revenue recognition policies, please refer to Note 1—Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.

4. Acquisitions

2024 Acquisitions

In April 2024, the Company acquired certain oil and gas producing properties, including leasehold and mineral interests, in the Giddings area for approximately $125.0 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition and was funded with cash on hand.

2023 Acquisitions

In November 2023, the Company acquired certain oil and gas producing properties, including leasehold and mineral interests, in the Giddings area for $264.1 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The seller may also receive up to a maximum of $40.0 million in additional contingent cash consideration through January 2026 based on future commodity prices. For more information regarding the contingent consideration, refer to Note 5—Fair Value Measurements.

In July 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of certain oil and natural gas assets located in the Giddings area for $41.8 million.

The Company accounted for the aforementioned acquisitions as asset acquisitions.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are carried at fair value and measured either on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The Company’s fair value measurements are based either on actual market data or assumptions that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in an orderly transaction, using the valuation hierarchy prescribed by GAAP under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments at the measurement date are used.

Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the investment, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 pricing inputs include quoted prices for similar investments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the investment, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 - Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs used in determination of fair value require significant judgment and estimation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value and fair value of the financial instrument that is not carried at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

The fair value of the 2026 Senior Notes at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is based on unadjusted quoted prices in an active market, which is considered a Level 1 input in the fair value hierarchy.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

In November 2023, the Company acquired certain oil and gas producing properties, including leasehold and mineral interests, in the Giddings area. As part of this transaction, the seller may receive up to $40.0 million in contingent cash consideration based on future commodity prices. The contingent consideration is payable inthree tranches based on average NYMEX WTI prices for (i) the period beginning July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, (ii) the year ending December 31, 2024, and (iii) the year ending December 31, 2025. The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated using observable market data (NYMEX WTI forward price curve) and Monte Carlo simulation models, which are considered Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the contingent consideration was $7.8 million and $14.3 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The current portion of the liability included in “Other current liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $2.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The long-term portion of the liability included in “Other long-term liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $5.4 million and $7.6 million, respectively.

The first tranche was settled for $2.7 million in January 2024. The Company recognized a gain of $7.0 million on the revaluation of the remaining tranches for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and a gain of $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Gains and losses on revaluation are included in “Other income (expense), net” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has other financial instruments consisting primarily of receivables, payables, and other current assets and liabilities that approximate fair value due to the nature of the instruments and their relatively short maturities. Non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value include assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations and asset retirement obligations.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Specifically, stock based compensation is not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but is subject to fair value calculations in certain circumstances. For further detail, see Note 11—Stock Based Compensation in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. There were no other material nonrecurring fair value measurements as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
