Viper Energy, Inc.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company is managed on a consolidated basis as a single operating and reportable segment which is focused on owning and acquiring mineral and royalty interests primarily in the Permian Basin. The Company’s operating segment primarily derives its revenue from customers through the receipt of royalty income on the sale of oil and natural gas products as well as other immaterial service contracts. See Note 3—Revenue from Contracts with Customers for further discussion of the Company’s sources of revenue.

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), a senior executive committee that is comprised of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, uses the Company’s condensed consolidated financial results to assess performance, allocate resources and make key operating decisions, obtaining the board’s approval as required. The measures of segment profit or loss and total assets utilized by the CODM are net income and total assets, as reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and the condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively. The significant expense categories, their amounts and other segment items that are regularly provided to the CODM are those that are reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The CODM uses consolidated net income as a measure of profitability to evaluate segment performance and to make capital allocation decisions such as reinvestment in the business or return of capital through the payment of dividends under the dividend policy or repurchases under the share repurchase program.
