NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2026
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
When we use the terms the “Company,” “NOG,” “our” and words of similar import, we are referring to Northern Oil and Gas, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires. NOG is an independent energy company engaged as a non-operator in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas properties in North America, primarily in the Permian Basin, the Williston Basin, the Appalachian Basin, the Uinta Basin, and the Duvernay Basin. The Company’s common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “NOG”.
The Company’s principal business is crude oil and natural gas exploration, development, and production across North America. The Company’s primary strategy is investing in non-operated minority working and mineral interests in oil and natural gas properties, with a core area of focus in five premier basins across North America.
In May 2026, the Company formed two new wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) NOG Energy Canada Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and (ii) NOG Energy Canada, Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of Alberta, Canada. These two new entities were formed pursuant to the Duvernay Acquisition, as described in Note 3. Accordingly, they are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of formation.
NOTE 2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements, which are unaudited, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Such information includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for an entire year.
Certain information, accounting policies, and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q pursuant to certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, which were included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Principle of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Adjustments resulting from the process of translating foreign functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising from remeasurement are recognized in current earnings.
Contingent Consideration
When contingent consideration is included as part of an acquisition of oil and gas properties, the Company recognizes the contingent consideration at fair value as of the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is classified as either a liability or equity based on the nature of the arrangement. Contingent consideration classified as a liability is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings, until the contingency is resolved and the obligation is settled. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured subsequent to the acquisition date. The fair value of contingent consideration is classified within the appropriate level of the fair value hierarchy based on the significance of the inputs used in the valuation. See Note 3 and Note 9 for further discussion.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements under GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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 most significant estimates relate to proved crude oil and natural gas reserves, which include limited control over future development plans as a non-operator, estimates relating to certain crude oil and natural gas revenues and expenses, fair value of derivative instruments, fair value of contingent consideration, acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, impairment of crude oil and natural gas properties, asset retirement obligations at initial recognition, and deferred income taxes.
Management’s estimates and assumptions were based on historical data and consideration of future market conditions. Given the uncertainty inherent in any projection, actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used, and conditions may change, which could materially affect amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period balances in the condensed consolidated statements of operations have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income (loss), cash flows or stockholders’ equity previously reported.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), in the form of Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”), that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date, as applicable. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt - Debt With Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversion of Convertible Debt Instruments. The objective of the standard is to improve the relevance and consistency in application of the induced conversion guidance in Subtopic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. This standard will affect entities that settle convertible debt instruments for which the conversion privileges are changed to induce conversion. ASU 2024-04 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company adopted ASU 2024-04 as of March 31, 2026, with no material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The standard requires disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The objective of the standard is to provide disaggregated information about a public business entity’s expenses to help investors better understand the components of an entity’s expenses, which should enable investors to better assess an entity’s prospects for future cash flows. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from its interests in the sales of oil and natural gas production. The Company recognizes revenue from its interests in the sales of crude oil and natural gas in the period that its performance obligations are satisfied. Performance obligations are satisfied when the customer obtains control of the product, when the Company has no further obligations to perform related to the sale, when the transaction price has been determined and when collectability is probable. The sales of oil and natural gas are made under contracts which the third-party operators of the wells have negotiated with customers, which typically include variable consideration that is based on pricing tied to local indices and volumes delivered in the current month. The Company receives payment from the sale of oil and natural gas production from one to
three months after delivery. At the end of each month when the performance obligation is satisfied, the variable consideration can be reasonably estimated and amounts due from customers are accrued in Accounts Receivable, Net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Variances between the Company’s estimated revenue and actual payments are recorded in the month the payment is received. Historically, differences have been insignificant. Accordingly, the variable consideration is not constrained.
The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations under its contracts with customers as it applies the practical expedient exemption, which applies to variable consideration that is recognized as control of the product is transferred to the customer. Since each unit of product represents a separate performance obligation, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.
The Company’s oil is typically sold at delivery points under contract terms that are common in our industry. The Company’s natural gas produced is delivered by the well operators to various purchasers at agreed upon delivery points under a limited number of contract types that are also common in our industry. Regardless of the contract type, the terms of these contracts compensate the well operators for the value of the oil and natural gas at specified prices, and then the well operators will remit payment to the Company for its share in the value of the oil and natural gas sold.
From time to time, the Company’s share of gas sold may exceed its entitlement, resulting in a gas production imbalance. To the extent that such an imbalance exists, the Company only records a corresponding liability if the Company’s gas volumes sold are in excess of its share of remaining reserves in an underlying property. No well imbalance liability was recorded as of June 30, 2026.
In June 2025, the Company entered into a settlement and mutual release agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with an operator in North Dakota (the “Operator”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Operator and the Company settled and permanently released certain claims of the Company relating to certain post-production costs previously deducted from revenues. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company received approximately $81.7 million, recorded within Oil and Gas Sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company received a net cash settlement of $48.6 million after deducting approximately $33.1 million in legal settlement expenses.
The Company reports volumes and revenues on a two-stream basis. Accordingly, the Company’s disaggregated revenue has two primary sources: (i) oil sales and (ii) natural gas and NGL sales. Substantially all of the Company’s sales come from five operating areas in North America: the Williston Basin, the Permian Basin, the Appalachian Basin, the Uinta Basin and the Duvernay Basin.
The following table presents the disaggregation of the Company’s oil revenues and natural gas and NGL revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Concentrations of Market, Credit Risk and Other Risks
The future results of the Company’s crude oil and natural gas operations will be affected by the market prices of crude oil and natural gas. The availability of a ready market for crude oil and natural gas products in the future will depend on numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, including weather, imports, marketing of competitive fuels, proximity and capacity of crude oil and natural gas pipelines and other transportation facilities, any oversupply or undersupply of crude oil, natural gas and liquid products, the regulatory environment, the economic environment, and other regional and political events, none of which can be predicted with certainty.
The Company operates in the exploration, development and production sector of the crude oil and natural gas industry. The Company’s receivables include amounts due, indirectly via the third-party operators of the wells, from purchasers of its crude oil and natural gas production. While certain of these customers, as well as third-party operators of the wells, are affected by periodic downturns in the economy in general or in their specific segment of the crude oil or natural gas industry, the Company believes that its level of credit-related losses due to such economic fluctuations have been immaterial.
As a non-operator, 100% of the Company’s wells are operated by third-party operating partners. As a result, the Company is highly dependent on the success of these third-party operators. If they are not successful in the exploration, development and production activities relating to the Company’s leasehold interests, or are unable or unwilling to perform, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. These risks are heightened in a low commodity price environment, which may present significant challenges to these third-party operators. The Company’s third-party operators will make decisions in connection with their operations that may not be in the Company’s best interests, and the Company may have little or no ability to exercise influence over the operational decisions of its third-party operators. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s top six operators made up 46% of total oil and natural gas sales, with one operator comprising more than 10% but less than 15%. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s top six operators made up 46% of total oil and natural gas sales, with one operator comprising more than 10% but less than 15%. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company’s top six operators made up 54% of total oil and natural gas sales, with two operators comprising more than 10% but less than 15%. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company’s top six operators made up 52% of total oil and natural gas sales, with two operators comprising more than 10% but less than 15%.
The Company faces concentration risk due to the fact that substantially all of its oil and natural gas revenue is sourced from a limited number of geographic areas of operations. As a result, the Company is disproportionately exposed to risks that affect one or more of those areas in the Williston Basin, the Permian Basin, the Appalachian Basin, the Uinta Basin and the Duvernay Basin.
Pursuant to the Company’s recent acquisition of oil and gas properties in Canada (See Note 3), the Company is now subject to foreign currency risks. The Company’s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary uses the Canadian dollar (“CAD”) as its functional currency. Fluctuations in the USD/CAD exchange rate will affect the USD equivalent of the Canadian subsidiary’s assets, liabilities, revenues, and operating expenses as reported in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company manages and controls market and counterparty credit risk. In the normal course of business, collateral is not required for financial instruments with credit risk. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash balances and derivative financial instruments. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed the federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any significant losses from such investments. The Company attempts to limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution or company. The Company believes the credit quality of its counterparties is generally high. In the normal course of business, letters of credit or parent guarantees may be required for counterparties which management perceives to have a higher credit risk.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the denominator). Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding (if dilutive) during each period. Potential common shares include vesting of restricted stock awards and shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes (see Note 4). The number of potential common shares outstanding are calculated using the treasury stock or if-converted method.
In those reporting periods in which the Company has reported net income available to common stockholders, anti-dilutive shares generally are comprised of the restricted stock that has average unrecognized stock compensation expense greater than the average stock price. In those reporting periods in which the Company has a net loss, anti-dilutive shares are comprised of the impact of those number of shares that would have been dilutive had the Company had net income plus the number of common stock equivalents that would be anti-dilutive had the company had net income.
Restricted stock awards are excluded from the calculation of basic weighted average common shares outstanding until they vest. For restricted stock awards that vest based on achievement of performance and/or market conditions, the number of contingently issuable common shares included in diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding is based on the number of common shares, if any, that would be issuable under the terms of the arrangement if the performance and/or market conditions were met at the end of the reporting period, assuming the result would be dilutive.
The reconciliation of the denominators used to calculate basic EPS and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

NOTE 3 CRUDE OIL AND NATURAL GAS PROPERTIES
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting to account for its crude oil and natural gas operations, whereby all costs related to the exploration and development of crude oil and natural gas properties are capitalized into a separate full cost pool for each country in which it operates. Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenses, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling directly related to acquisition, and exploration activities. Internal costs that are capitalized are directly attributable to acquisition, exploration and development activities and do not include costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Costs associated with production and general corporate activities are expensed in the period incurred.
Under the full cost method of accounting, the Company is required to perform a ceiling test, each quarter, for each full cost pool. The test determines a limit, or ceiling, for each full cost pool, on the book value of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties. For each full cost pool, net capitalized costs are limited to the lower of unamortized cost net of deferred income taxes, or the full cost ceiling. As a result of its ceiling tests, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $268.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026 for the United States full cost pool. No impairment charges were recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2026. Conversely, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $115.6 million in the three and six months ended and June 30, 2025.
Average commodity prices used in our ceiling test calculations have fluctuated significantly in recent quarters. If said prices trend downward, and/or if our proved reserves decrease significantly in future months, the present value of the Company’s future net revenues could decline, which could trigger the need for the Company to record an additional non-cash ceiling test impairment of its oil and natural gas property costs in future periods.
The book value of the Company’s crude oil and natural gas properties consists of all acquisition costs, drilling costs and other associated capitalized costs. Acquisitions are accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the results of operations are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations from the closing date of the acquisition. Acquired assets and liabilities assumed are recorded based on their estimated fair value at the time of the acquisition.
2026 Acquisitions
In addition to the closing of the Utica Acquisition and the Duvernay Acquisition, as defined below, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company acquired oil and natural gas properties through a number of smaller independent transactions for a total of $44.7 million and $88.3 million, respectively, inclusive of related development costs.
Utica Acquisition
In February 2026, the Company completed its acquisition of certain upstream and midstream assets in the state of Ohio from Antero Resources Corporation and certain affiliated entities (collectively, “Antero”), effective as of July 1, 2025 (together, the “Utica Acquisition”). At closing, the Company acquired a 40% undivided working interest in the assets sold by Antero, with Infinity Natural Resources, LLC, an unaffiliated third party, acquiring the other 60% and becoming the operator of the acquired assets.
The total consideration paid to the seller at closing, net of customary purchase price adjustments, and net to the Company, was $464.6 million in cash, a portion of which was funded by a $58.8 million acquisition deposit paid in December 2025 and recorded in Other Noncurrent Assets, Net as of December 31, 2025.
The Company accounted for its Utica Acquisition as a business combination. Accordingly, transaction costs of approximately $6.7 million were included in general and administrative expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The results of operations from the date of the Utica Acquisition through June 30, 2026 represented approximately $16.7 million of revenue and $9.3 million of income from operations. The following table reflects the fair value of the net assets and liabilities as of the closing date of the acquisition:
| | | | | | | | |
| | (In thousands) |
| Fair value of net assets: | | |
| Proved oil and natural gas properties | | $ | 325,941 | |
| Unproved oil and natural gas properties | | 140,029 | |
| Total assets acquired | | 465,970 | |
| Asset retirement obligations | | (1,334) | |

| Fair value of consideration paid for net assets: | | |
| Cash consideration | | $ | 464,636 | |
| | |
| Total fair value of consideration transferred | | $ | 464,636 | |
Duvernay Acquisition
In June 2026, the Company completed its acquisition of certain oil and natural gas properties located in the Duvernay East Shale Basin of Alberta, Canada, from Parallax Energy Operating, Inc. (“Parallax”), effective as of April 1, 2026 (the “Duvernay Acquisition”). At closing, the Company acquired a 25% undivided working interest in the assets sold by Parallax, who continued as operator. NOG Energy Canada, Ltd acted as the purchaser of the assets.
The total consideration paid at closing, net of customary purchase price adjustments, was approximately $262.1 million, which included $171.2 million in cash, 3,689,413 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, with a total
estimated fair value of $81.4 million, and $9.5 million in value attributable to potential additional contingent consideration (described in more detail below).
The Company accounted for its Duvernay Acquisition as a business combination. Accordingly, transaction costs of approximately $7.6 million were included in general and administrative expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The results of operations from the date of the Duvernay Acquisition through June 30, 2026 represented approximately $7.9 million of revenue and $7.4 million of income from operations. The following table reflects the fair value of the net assets and liabilities as of the closing date of the acquisition:
| | | | | | | | |
| | (In thousands) |
| Fair value of net assets: | | |
| Proved oil and natural gas properties | | $ | 205,309 | |
| Unproved oil and natural gas properties | | 57,327 | |
| Total assets acquired | | 262,636 | |
| Asset retirement obligations | | (498) | |
| Net assets acquired | | $ | 262,138 | |
| | |
| Fair value of consideration paid for net assets: | | |
| Cash consideration | | $ | 171,243 | |
| Issuance of common stock | | 81,388 | |
| Contingent consideration | | 9,507 | |
| Total fair value of consideration transferred | | $ | 262,138 | |
The amount of additional contingent consideration payable by the Company, if any, is payable in January 2028. The payout amount is dependent upon the NYMEX WTI oil price reaching an average of $72.50 per Bbl during the period from April 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was approximately $9.5 million at the acquisition date. Upon remeasurement, the fair value of the contingent consideration was approximately $6.6 million at June 30, 2026. Accordingly, a remeasurement gain of $2.7 million was recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
2025 Acquisitions
During 2025, the Company acquired oil and natural gas properties through a number of smaller independent transactions for a total of $173.5 million, inclusive of related development costs.
In April 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of certain oil and natural gas properties, interests and related assets in the Midland Permian basin from a private seller, effective June 1, 2024. The total consideration paid to the seller at closing, net to the Company, was approximately $61.7 million in cash, a portion of which was funded by a $4.0 million acquisition deposit paid in February 2025.
In August 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of certain oil and natural gas properties, interests and related assets in the Uinta basin from a private seller, effective July 1, 2025. The total consideration paid to the seller at closing, net to the Company, was approximately $98.3 million in cash, a portion of which was funded by a $9.8 million acquisition deposit paid in June 2025.
Pro Forma Information
The following summarized unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 provides summarized information for the acquisitions accounted for as business combinations. The information provided assumes that the acquisitions accounted for as business combinations occurred as of January 1, 2025.
The Company prepared the following summarized unaudited pro forma financial results for comparative purposes only. The summarized unaudited pro forma information may not be indicative of the results that would have occurred had the Company completed the acquisitions as of January 1, 2025, or that would be attained in the future.

Divestitures
From time-to-time the Company may divest assets. In addition, the Company may trade leasehold interests with operators to balance working interests in spacing units to facilitate and encourage a more expedited development of the Company’s acreage.
Unproved Properties
All oil and natural gas properties that are not classified as proved properties are considered unproved properties and, thus, the costs associated with such properties are not subject to depletion until the properties are evaluated for reserves. Once a property is evaluated, all associated acreage and drilling costs are subject to depletion.
The Company historically has acquired unproved properties by purchasing individual or small groups of leases directly from mineral owners, landmen, or lease brokers, which leases historically have not been subject to specified drilling projects, and by purchasing lease packages in identified project areas controlled by specific operators. The Company generally participates in drilling activities on a heads up basis by electing whether to participate in each well on a well-by-well basis at the time wells are proposed for drilling.
The Company believes that the majority of its unproved property will be evaluated, and thus the related costs will become subject to depletion within the next five years. The timing by which all unproved properties will become subject to depletion will be dependent upon the timing of future drilling activities and delineation of its reserves.
Capitalized costs associated with evaluated leasehold costs, which includes leases that have expired or have been deemed uneconomic, and capitalized costs related to properties having proved reserves, plus the estimated future development costs and asset retirement costs, are depleted and amortized using the unit-of-production method. Under this method, depletion is calculated at the end of each period by multiplying total production for the period by a depletion rate. The depletion rate is determined by dividing the total unamortized cost base plus future development costs by net equivalent proved reserves at the beginning of the period. The costs of unproved properties are withheld from the depletion base until such time that they are evaluated.
When unproved properties are evaluated, their cost is added to costs subject to depletion and full cost ceiling calculations. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, unproved properties of $6.6 million and $3.8 million, respectively, were transferred to evaluated leasehold costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, unproved properties of $14.1 million and $5.6 million, respectively, were transferred to evaluated leasehold costs.

________________
(1)Unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility of $13.2 million and $13.1 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, are recorded in “Other Noncurrent Assets, Net” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Revolving Credit Facility
In November 2025, the Company entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, modified or supplemented through the date of this filing, the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent (“Agent”), and the lenders from time to time party thereto, which amended and restated the Company’s prior revolving credit facility that was entered into in June 2022. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on November 5, 2030.
The Revolving Credit Facility is comprised of revolving loans and letters of credit and is subject to a borrowing base with maximum loan value to be assigned to the proved reserves attributable to the Company and its subsidiaries’ (if any) oil and natural gas properties. In February 2026, the Company completed a wildcard redetermination. In connection therewith, the borrowing base was increased from $1.8 billion to $1.975 billion, and the aggregate elected commitment amount was increased from $1.6 billion to $1.8 billion.
As of June 30, 2026, the borrowing base was $1.975 billion, and the aggregate elected commitment amount was $1.8 billion. The Company’s borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is set at the lesser of the borrowing base and the elected commitment amount. The borrowing base will be redetermined semiannually on or around April 1 and October 1, with one interim “wildcard” redetermination available to each of the Company and the Agent (acting at the direction of the lenders holding at least two-thirds of commitments and loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility) between scheduled redeterminations. Upon an acquisition of oil and natural gas properties with an aggregate value exceeding 5% of the borrowing base, the Company may request an additional redetermination.
The Company has the option to seek commitments for term loans, which such term loans (if obtained), together with any other then-outstanding principal amount of term loans, are capped at the least of (i) the borrowing base minus the aggregate elected commitment amount, (ii) the aggregate elected commitment amount and (iii) one-third of the sum of (x) the aggregate elected commitment amount plus (y) the then-outstanding principal amount of term loans plus (z) the term loans being established on a pro forma basis. Such term loans are subject to certain other terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.
At the Company’s option, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility shall bear interest at the base rate or SOFR plus an applicable margin. 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; and (iii) the adjusted SOFR rate for a one-month interest period plus 100 basis points. The applicable margin for base rate loans ranges from 75 to 175 basis points, and the applicable margin for SOFR loans ranges from 175 to 275 basis points, in each case depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of default and affirmative and negative covenants. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility requires that the Company comply with the following financial covenants: (i) the Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) shall be no more than 3.50 to 1.00, and (ii) the Current Ratio (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) shall not be less than 1.00 to 1.00. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants as of June 30, 2026.
The Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by mortgages on not less than 85% of the value of proven reserves associated with the oil and natural gas properties included in the determination of the borrowing base. Additionally, the Company entered into a Guaranty and Collateral Agreement in favor of the Agent for the secured parties, pursuant to which the Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets.
Senior Notes due 2028
In February 2021, the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, entered into an indenture (the “2028 Notes Indenture”), pursuant to which the Company issued $550.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.125% senior notes due 2028 (the “Original 2028 Notes”). In November 2021, the Company issued an additional $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.125% senior notes due 2028 (together with the Original 2028 Notes, the “Senior Notes due 2028”). The proceeds of the Senior Notes due 2028 were used primarily to refinance existing indebtedness, and for general corporate purposes.
During 2022, the Company repurchased and retired $25.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes due 2028 in open market transactions for a total of $24.9 million in cash, plus accrued interest. During 2023, the Company repurchased and retired $19.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes due 2028 in open market transactions for a total of $18.4 million in cash, plus accrued interest.
In October 2025, upon successfully completing the issuance of its Senior Notes due 2033, the Company repurchased approximately 97.14% of its outstanding Senior Notes due 2028, representing approximately $684.9 million in aggregate principal amount, for a total amount of $699.9 million, inclusive of tender premium and accrued interest due (the “Repurchase Event”). The Repurchase Event resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $10.8 million, primarily due to the tender premium of $10.3 million paid in conjunction with the cash tender offer to holders of the Senior Notes due 2028 upon the Repurchase Event.
In March 2026, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding Senior Notes due 2028, in accordance with the terms of the 2028 Notes Indenture, at a Redemption price of 100% (the “Final Redemption Event”). Pursuant to the Final Redemption Event, the Company redeemed approximately $20.2 million in aggregate principal amount, and incurred approximately $14.0 thousand related loss on debt extinguishment.
Convertible Notes due 2029
In October 2022, the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, entered into an indenture (as supplemented, the “Convertible Notes Indenture”), pursuant to which the Company issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.625% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “Original Convertible Notes”). In June 2025, the Company issued an additional $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.625% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “Additional Convertible Notes” and, together with the Original Convertible Notes, the “Convertible Notes”), at an issue price of 105.597% of the principal amount thereof. The proceeds of the Convertible Notes were used to refinance existing indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes. The Convertible Notes mature on April 15, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The Convertible Notes accrue interest at a rate of 3.625% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year.
Before October 16, 2028, noteholders have the right to convert their Convertible Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after October 16, 2028, noteholders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time at their election until the
close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The Company will have the right to elect to settle conversions either entirely in cash or in a combination of cash and shares of its common stock. However, upon conversion of any Convertible Notes, the conversion value, which will be determined over a period of 40 trading days, will be paid in cash up to at least the principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to customary anti-dilution and other adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. As of June 30, 2026, the conversion rate was 27.8178 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which represented a conversion price of approximately $35.95 per share of common stock. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.
The Convertible Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. In addition, calling any Convertible Note for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to that Convertible Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Convertible Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption.
If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture) occur, then, subject to a limited exception for certain cash mergers, noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Convertible Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s common stock.
The Convertible Notes Indenture contains customary events of default and affirmative and negative covenants. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants.
Capped Call Transactions
In October 2022, in connection with the Original Convertible Notes offering described above, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Original Capped Call Transactions”) with certain of the initial purchasers of the Original Convertible Notes and/or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions. The Company paid $36.1 million in total consideration to enter into the Original Capped Call Transactions. The Original Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the Convertible Notes, the number of shares of common stock initially underlying the Original Convertible Notes. The Original Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the common stock upon any conversion of Original Convertible Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted Original Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the Original Capped Call Transactions was initially approximately $52.17 per share of common stock, which represents a premium of 75% over the last reported sale price of the common stock of $29.81 per share on October 11, 2022, and is subject to certain customary adjustments under the terms of the Original Capped Call Transactions.
In June 2025, in connection with the Additional Convertible Notes offering described above, the Company entered into new privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Additional Capped Call Transactions”). The Additional Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the Convertible Notes, the number of shares of common stock initially underlying the Additional Convertible Notes. The Additional Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the common stock upon any conversion of Additional Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted Additional Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the Additional Capped Call Transactions was initially approximately $50.61 per share of common stock, which represents a premium of approximately 63% over the last reported sale price of the common stock of $31.15 per share on June 12, 2025, and is subject to certain customary adjustments under the terms of the Additional Capped Call Transactions.
As of June 30, 2026, the cap price of the Capped Call Transactions was approximately $49.34 per share of common stock for both the Original Capped Call Transactions and the Additional Capped Call Transactions.
Senior Notes due 2031
In May 2023, the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, entered into an indenture (the “2031 Notes Indenture”), pursuant to which the Company issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 8.750% senior notes due 2031 (the “Senior Notes due 2031”). The proceeds of the Senior Notes due 2031 were used primarily to refinance existing indebtedness, and for general corporate purposes.
The Senior Notes due 2031 will mature on June 15, 2031. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 15 and December 15, to holders of record on the June 1 and December 1 immediately preceding the related interest payment date, at a rate of 8.750% per annum.
The Company may redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes due 2031 at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to 104.375% for the twelve-month period beginning on June 15, 2026, 102.188% for the twelve-month period beginning on June 15, 2027, and 100% beginning on June 15, 2028, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the 2031 Notes Indenture) occurs, each holder of Senior Notes due 2031 may require the Company to repurchase all or any part of that holder’s Senior Notes due 2031 for cash at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes due 2031 repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes due 2031 repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date on or prior to the date of purchase).
The 2031 Notes Indenture contains customary event of default and certain affirmative and negative covenants. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants.
Senior Notes due 2033
In October 2025, the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, entered into an indenture (the “2033 Notes Indenture”), pursuant to which the Company issued $725.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.875% senior notes due 2033 (the “Senior Notes due 2033”). The proceeds of the Senior Notes due 2033 were used primarily to fund the purchase of the Senior Notes due 2028 validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer, and for general corporate purposes.
The Senior Notes due 2033 will mature on October 15, 2033. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each April 15 and October 15, to holders of record on the April 1 and October 1 immediately preceding the related interest payment date, at a rate of 7.875% per annum. Prior to October 15, 2028, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2033, upon not less than 10 or more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price of 107.875% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes due 2033 redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), in an amount not greater than the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings by the Company, provided that (i) at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2033 issued under the 2033 Notes Indenture (including any Additional Notes (as defined in the 2033 Notes Indenture) but excluding the Senior Notes due 2033 held by the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined in the 2033 Notes Indenture)) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (unless all Senior Notes due 2033 are redeemed substantially concurrently) and (ii) the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of each such equity offering. In addition, prior to October 15, 2028, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes due 2033, on any one or more occasions, upon not less than 10 or more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes due 2033 redeemed, plus an applicable make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).
On or after October 15, 2028 the Company may redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes due 2033 at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to 103.938% for the twelve-month period beginning on October 15, 2028, 101.969% for the twelve-month period beginning on October 15, 2029, and 100% beginning on October 15, 2030, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the 2033 Notes Indenture) occurs, each holder of Senior Notes due 2033 may require the Company to repurchase all or any part of that holder’s Senior Notes due 2033 for cash at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes due 2033 repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes due 2033 repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date on or prior to the date of purchase).
The 2033 Notes Indenture contains customary event of default and certain affirmative and negative covenants. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants.

In July 2024, the Company’s board of directors terminated the prior stock repurchase program, which was substantially depleted, and approved a new stock repurchase program to acquire up to $150.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. In March 2025, the Company’s board of directors approved a $100.0 million increase to the authorization under this stock repurchase program. In July 2026, the Company’s board of directors approved an additional $150.0 million increase to the authorization under this stock repurchase program. The stock repurchase program allows the Company to repurchase its shares from time to time in the open market in block transactions and in negotiated transactions.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 2,948,447 shares of its common stock for $60.1 million at an average price of $20.37 per share, inclusive of commissions, under the stock repurchase program.

The Company’s accounting policy upon the repurchase of shares is to deduct its par value from common stock and to reflect any excess of cost over par value as a deduction from Additional Paid-in Capital. All repurchased shares are included in the Company’s pool of authorized but unissued shares.
NOTE 6 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company maintains the Amended and Restated 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) for the purpose of making equity-based awards to employees, directors and other eligible persons. As of June 30, 2026, there were 2,239,598 shares available for future awards or settlement of awards under the 2018 Plan.
The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation awards expected to vest over the requisite service period as a charge against earnings, net of amounts capitalized. The Company’s stock-based compensation awards are accounted for as equity instruments and are included in the “General and administrative expenses” line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company capitalizes a portion of stock-based compensation for employees who are directly involved in the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties into the full cost pool. Capitalized stock-based compensation is included in the “Oil and natural gas properties” line item in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Issuances made pursuant to the 2018 Plan are summarized as follows:
The Company issues share-based awards in the form of restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and share appreciation awards (“SARs”), subject to various vesting conditions, as compensation to executive officers, employees and directors of the Company. Typically, RSAs issued to employees and executive officers contain a service condition only and generally vest over three or four years. Typically, RSUs and SARs contain both a service and market condition. Market conditions can be the Company’s absolute total shareholder return (“TSR”), the Company’s relative TSR ranking among its peer companies or the Company’s market capitalization growth measured over a defined performance period. Grantees’ continued employment through the end of the performance period is required for such RSUs and SARs to vest. RSAs issued to directors generally vest either immediately or over one year, subject to continued service and provided that any performance and/or market conditions are also met.
For awards subject to service and/or performance vesting conditions, the grant date fair value is established based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on such date. Stock-based compensation expense for awards subject to only service conditions is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period. Stock-based compensation expense for awards subject to both service and performance conditions are recognized on a graded basis if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The Company accounts for forfeitures of awards granted under these plans as they occur in determining stock-based compensation expense.
For awards subject to a market condition, the grant date fair value is estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for awards subject to market-based vesting conditions regardless of
whether the market conditions are achieved or not, and stock-based compensation expense for any such awards is reversed only when the implied service requirement is not met. The Monte Carlo model is based on random projections of stock price paths and must be repeated numerous times to achieve a probabilistic assessment. Expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility and implied volatility of the Company’s common stock, and the risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield curve rates with maturities consistent with the three-year vesting period.
Service-Based RSAs
The following table reflects the outstanding service-based RSAs and activity related thereto for the six months ended June 30, 2026:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Service-based Awards | | | | | | |
| Number of Shares | | Weighted-average Grant Date Fair Value | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Outstanding at December 31, 2025 | 402,340 | | | $ | 33.58 | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Shares granted | 304,270 | | | 26.88 | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Shares forfeited | (4,192) | | | 28.61 | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Shares vested | (199,780) | | | 31.57 | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

At June 30, 2026, there was $12.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSAs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.11 years. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the total fair value of the Company’s restricted stock awards vested was $5.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the compensation expenses associated with these awards were $4.1 million.

________________
(1)Represents performance equity awards with a performance period ending on December 31, 2028
(2)Represents RSUs forfeited due to certain market performance metrics not being met as of the evaluation date
(3)The Company issued 20,063 additional shares in addition to the 38,471 awards vested, since the measured performance metrics exceeded the target performance metrics.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the compensation expenses associated with these awards were $3.4 million. As of June 30, 2026, the unrecognized compensation expenses for these awards were $12.3 million, which will be amortized over the remaining performance period.
In December 2023, the Company granted performance equity awards, in the form of SARs. The final payout (if any) will be a dollar amount, which may be settled in cash, shares or a combination of both at the Company’s option. The Company plans to settle the SARs that were granted in 2023 with shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the compensation expenses
associated with these awards were $0.7 million. As of June 30, 2026, the unrecognized compensation expenses for these awards were $2.2 million, which will be amortized over the remaining performance period.
The Company used Monte Carlo simulation models, described above, to estimate (i) the fair value of the TSR Awards that were granted in 2024, 2025 and 2026 based on the expected outcome of the Company’s absolute TSR as well as TSR relative to the defined peer group and (ii) the fair value of the SARs that were granted in 2023 based on the expected outcome of the Company’s market capitalization appreciation rate. The Company used the following key assumptions in its Monte Carlo simulation models: (a) risk-free rates ranging from 1.7% to 4.2%, (b) dividend yield ranging from nil to 4.3%, and (c) expected volatility ranging from 56.4% to 72.3%.
NOTE 7 COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES
The Company is engaged in various proceedings incidental to the normal course of business. Due to their nature, such legal proceedings involve inherent uncertainties, including, but not limited to, court rulings, negotiations between affected parties and governmental intervention. Based upon the information available to the Company and discussions with legal counsel, it is the Company’s opinion that the outcome of the various legal actions and claims that are incidental to its business will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Such matters, however, are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of any matter is not predictable with assurance.
NOTE 8 INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense or benefits during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period. The provision for income taxes or benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to pre-tax income (loss) primarily due to the non-deductibility of permanent items, state and foreign income taxes, and discrete items during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets (“DTAs”), management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the Company’s DTAs will not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including (i) its earnings history, (ii) its ability to recover net operating loss carry-forwards, (iii) the projected future income and results of operations, and (iv) its ability to use tax planning strategies. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of its DTAs will not be realized, the tax asset is reduced by a valuation allowance. The Company assesses the appropriateness of its valuation allowance on a quarterly basis.
The One Big Beautiful Bill (“OBBB”), which was enacted in July 2025, primarily makes permanent the tax implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from 2017. The income tax provisions include the reinstatement of the 100% additional first-year “bonus” depreciation deduction, updates to the calculation of disallowed interest, and updates to the determination of whether the Company is subject to the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax.
In the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded an income tax expense of approximately $74.0 million, primarily from U.S. domestic tax expenses of $82.6 million, partially offset by $8.6 million income tax benefits derived from foreign operations. In the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $99.1 million, primarily from U.S. domestic income tax benefits of $90.5 million and foreign income tax benefits of $8.6 million. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were 23.8% and 25.7%, respectively.
The Company had an income tax expense of $32.2 million and $79.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The Company did not have any foreign income tax expenses or tax benefits in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were 24.4% and 24.9%, respectively.
NOTE 9 FAIR VALUE
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize
the use of unobservable inputs. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Financial Assets and Liabilities
As required, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety 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 requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Commodity Derivatives. The Level 2 instruments presented in the tables above include commodity derivative instruments (see Note 10). The fair value of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments is determined based upon future prices, volatility and time to maturity, among other things. Counterparty statements are utilized to determine the value of the commodity derivative instruments and are reviewed and corroborated using various methodologies and significant observable inputs. The Company’s and the counterparties’ nonperformance risk is evaluated. The fair value of commodity derivative contracts is
reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The current derivative asset and liability amounts represent the fair values expected to be settled in the subsequent twelve months.
Interest Rate Derivatives. The Level 2 instruments presented in the tables above include interest rate derivative instruments (see Note 10). The fair value of the Company’s interest rate derivative instruments is determined based upon contracted notional amounts, active market-quoted interest yield curves, and time to maturity, among other things. Counterparty statements are utilized to determine the value of the interest rate derivative instruments and are reviewed and corroborated using various methodologies and significant observable inputs. The Company’s and the counterparties’ nonperformance risk is evaluated. The fair value of interest rate derivative contracts is reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The current interest rate derivative asset balances represent the fair values expected to be settled in the subsequent twelve months.
Contingent Consideration. The Level 2 instruments presented in the tables above include contingent consideration liabilities (see Note 3). The fair value of the Company's contingent consideration liability is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The significant inputs used in the valuation include (i) the forward NYMEX WTI oil price curve, (ii) NYMEX WTI volatility and (iii) risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury rates, which are observable in the marketplace or can be derived from observable market data. These inputs are reviewed and corroborated using various methodologies and significant observable inputs. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability is reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of this liability are included in other income (expense) in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, receivables and payables approximate fair value due to the highly liquid or short-term nature of these instruments.
Long-term debt is not presented at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as it is recorded at carrying value, net of unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized premium (see Note 4). The fair value of the Company’s Convertible Notes due 2029, Senior Notes due 2031 and Senior Notes due 2033 was $670.4 million, $514.4 million and $718.7 million, respectively, at June 30, 2026. These fair values are based on market quotes that represent Level 2 inputs.
There is no active market for the Revolving Credit Facility. The recorded value of the Revolving Credit Facility approximates its fair value because of its floating rate structure based on the SOFR spread, secured interest, and the Company’s borrowing base utilization. The fair value measurement for the Revolving Credit Facility represents Level 2 inputs.
Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company estimates asset retirement obligations pursuant to the relevant accounting standards. The initial measurement of asset retirement obligations at fair value is calculated using discounted cash flow techniques and based on internal estimates of future retirement costs associated with oil and natural gas properties. Given the unobservable nature of the inputs, including plugging costs and reserve lives, the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligations liability is deemed to use Level 3 inputs. Asset retirement obligations incurred and acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were approximately $2.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
For all transactions accounted for as business combinations, the Company uses the acquisition method of accounting. In those instances, the Company conducts assessments of net assets acquired and recognizes amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the estimated acquisition date fair values, while transaction costs associated with the acquisitions are expensed as incurred. The Company makes various assumptions in estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The most significant assumptions relate to the estimated fair value of oil and natural gas properties. The fair value of these properties is measured using a discounted cash flow model that converts future cash flows to a single discounted amount. The assumptions are unobservable inputs and represent Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. Key inputs include: (i) estimates of future production volumes, (ii) future commodity prices (adjusted for basis differentials), including WTI oil pricing ranging from $63.70 to $86.31 per barrel and Henry Hub gas pricing ranging from $1.37 to $3.83 per MMBtu, (iii) estimates of lease operating, development and abandonment costs, (iv) risk adjustment factors applied to proved reserves, ranging from 90% to 100%, and to unproved reserves, ranging from 60% to 75%, and (v) the application of a discount rate, ranging from 9.5% to 10%.
Though the Company believes the methods used to estimate fair value are consistent with those used by other market participants, the use of other methods or assumptions could result in a different estimate of fair value. There were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 inputs for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
NOTE 10 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company utilizes various commodity price derivative instruments to (i) reduce the effects of volatility in price changes on the crude oil and natural gas commodities it produces and sells, (ii) reduce commodity price risk and (iii) provide a base level of cash flow in order to assure it can execute at least a portion of its capital spending. In addition, from time to time the Company utilizes interest rate swaps to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates on the Company’s variable-rate indebtedness.
All derivative instruments are recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair value (see Note 9). The Company has not designated any derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes and does not enter into such instruments for speculative trading purposes. If a derivative does not qualify as a hedge or is not designated as a hedge, the changes in the fair value are recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations as a gain or loss on derivative instruments. Mark-to-market gains and losses represent changes in fair values of derivative instruments that have not been settled. The Company’s cash flow is only impacted when the actual settlements under the derivative contracts result in making or receiving a payment to or from the counterparty. These cash settlements represent the cumulative gains and losses on the Company’s derivative instruments for the periods presented and do not include a recovery of costs that were paid to acquire or modify the derivative instruments that were settled.
The Company has master netting agreements on individual derivative instruments with certain counterparties and therefore the current asset and liability are netted in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the non-current asset and liability are netted in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for contracts with these counterparties.

______________
(1)Swaptions are crude oil and natural gas derivative contracts that give counterparties the option to extend certain derivative contracts for additional periods. Call Options are crude oil and natural gas derivative contracts sold by the Company that give counterparties the option to exercise certain derivative contracts. The volumes and prices reflected as Swaptions and Call Options in this table (i) will only be effective if the options are exercised by the applicable counterparties and (ii) are shown in the periods in which such volumes would be settled, in the event that the applicable counterparties exercise their options.
Interest Rate Derivative Instruments
At times, the Company uses interest rate swaps to effectively convert a portion of its variable rate indebtedness to fixed rate indebtedness. The settlement of derivative instruments is recognized as a component of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The mark-to-market component of these derivative instruments is recognized in gain (loss) on unsettled interest rate derivatives, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table summarizes our open interest rate derivative contracts as of June 30, 2026.

The use of derivative transactions involves the risk that the counterparties will be unable to meet the financial terms of such transactions. When the Company has netting arrangements with its counterparties that provide for offsetting payables against receivables from separate derivative instruments these assets and liabilities are netted in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The tables presented below provide a reconciliation between the gross assets and liabilities and the amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amounts presented exclude derivative settlement receivables and payables as of the condensed consolidated balance sheet dates.

All of the Company’s outstanding derivative instruments are covered by International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreements (“ISDAs”) entered into with parties that are also lenders under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility. The Company’s obligations under the derivative instruments are secured pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility, and no additional collateral had been posted by the Company as of June 30, 2026. The ISDAs may provide that as a result of certain circumstances, such as cross-defaults, a counterparty may require all outstanding derivative instruments under an ISDA to be settled immediately. See Note 9 for the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
