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 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”).
Corporate 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 Interest for 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 and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission 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 represented third-party ownership in OpCo and as of March 31, 2026, was fully eliminated. Refer to Note 9—Shareholders’ Equity and Noncontrolling Interest for 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 in one 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 nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company completed multiple acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties for a cumulative adjusted purchase price of approximately $1.1 billion and $225.6 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 from Apache Corporation for an unadjusted purchase price of $608 million. The acreage acquired is predominantly 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
On April 30, 2026, OpCo entered into a new credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that provides for a $3.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing on April 30, 2031 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s existing secured revolving credit facility, which was terminated without penalty in connection with entering into the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had no borrowings outstanding and $3.0 billion in available borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement provides for aggregate commitments of $3.0 billion, with an option for the Company to request increases in the aggregate commitments to an amount not to exceed $4.0 billion, subject to certain terms and conditions, and includes a swingline subfacility and a letter of credit subfacility. The Credit Agreement 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 Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s election, based on either SOFR plus an applicable margin or the Alternate Base Rate plus an applicable margin (such terms used herein as defined in the Credit Agreement). The applicable margins for SOFR and Alternate Base Rate borrowings, as well as commitment fees for undrawn commitments, are based on the Company’s credit rating for its long-term senior unsecured indebtedness. As of September 30, 2026, the applicable margin for SOFR and Alternate Base Rate borrowings was 150 basis points and 50 basis points, respectively, and the commitment fee was 20 basis points.
The 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 requiring the maintenance of a Total Indebtedness to Capitalization (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no greater than 65%, which is determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. OpCo was in compliance with the covenants and the applicable financial ratio described above as of September 30, 2026.
Commercial Paper
In August 2026, OpCo established a commercial paper program that permits the Company to issue unsecured, short-term promissory notes (“Commercial Paper”) up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion outstanding at any time. The maturities of the Commercial Paper may vary but may not exceed 364 days from the date of issuance. Interest rates on the Commercial Paper are established at issuance in line with then-current conditions in the U.S. commercial paper market, with individual notes priced either at a discount to par or at par value.
The Credit Agreement and its $3.0 billion unsecured revolving capacity serve as a liquidity backstop for the Commercial Paper, and the Company intends to keep unused capacity under the Credit Agreement at least equal to its outstanding Commercial Paper. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had $393.0 million of Commercial Paper outstanding maturing in October 2026 with a weighted average interest rate of 4.4%. The outstanding Commercial Paper is classified as Current debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

6.25% Senior Notes due 2033 | 6.25% | | February 1, August 1 | | 1,000,000 | | | February 1, 2033 |
The 5.875% senior notes due 2029, 7.00% senior notes due 2032 and 6.25% senior notes due 2033 (collectively, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) are unsecured senior obligations. 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 create certain liens. If the Company ceases to have an investment grade credit rating from either Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC or Moody’s Ratings, certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on the payment of dividends or the redemption or repurchase of capital stock or subordinated indebtedness, affiliate transactions, asset sales and the incurrence of additional indebtedness, will be reinstated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the indenture governing the 5.875% senior notes. OpCo was in compliance with any remaining covenants as of September 30, 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 Redemptions
On April 15, 2026, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding 8.00% senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Senior Notes”) 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. In connection with this redemption, the Company recognized a $5.3 million gain on extinguishment of debt, reflecting the difference between the redemption price and the carrying value of the 2027 Senior Notes, which included the associated unamortized debt premium.
On July 15, 2026, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding 9.875% senior notes due 2031 (the “2031 Senior Notes”) at a redemption price equal to 104.938% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of $325.0 million plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the redemption date. In connection with this redemption, the Company paid total consideration of $341.0 million, excluding interest, and recognized a $1.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt, reflecting the difference between the redemption price and the carrying value of the 2031 Senior Notes, which included the associated unamortized debt premium.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2026:
| | | | | |
(in thousands) | |
Asset retirement obligations, beginning of period | $ | 189,350 | |
Liabilities incurred | 10,476 | |
| Liabilities acquired | 13,051 | |
Liabilities divested and settled | (5,763) | |
Accretion expense | 9,789 | |
| |
Asset retirement obligations, end of period | 216,903 | |
Less current portion(1) | (25,872) | |
| Asset retirement obligations - long-term, end of period | $ | 191,031 | |
(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 provides for grants of certain types of equity and cash-based awards. On May 19, 2026, following the approval of the Company’s board of directors, the Company's stockholders approved the First Amendment to the LTIP, which increased the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock authorized for issuance under the LTIP by 30,000,000 shares to 101,718,560 shares.
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: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

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

| Unvested balance as of September 30, 2026 | 5,135,433 | | | 16.70 | |
The Company grants service-based Restricted Stock to certain officers and employees, which either vests ratably over a three-year service period or cliff vests upon a twelve-month to five-year service period, and to directors, which vests over a one-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 nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, was $32.1 million and $16.8 million, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to Restricted Stock that was unvested as of September 30, 2026, was $64.3 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.
Stock Options
Stock options that have been granted under the LTIP expire ten 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 of three years.

| Exercisable as of September 30, 2026 | 81,500 | | | 13.85 | | | 2.0 | | 595 | |
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 of three 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.

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, 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 September 30, 2026: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

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 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 Credit Agreement as referenced above.
Note 8—Fair Value Measurements
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, 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.
PERMIAN RESOURCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 |
| September 30, 2026 | | | | | |

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 judgments 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
PERMIAN RESOURCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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, current debt, 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:

(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.
Note 9—Shareholders’ Equity and Noncontrolling Interest
Corporate 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 defined in 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 12.4 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 $3.2 million were recorded in equity as a result of the conversions of shares from the noncontrolling interest owners for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. No cash proceeds were received by the Company in connection with these transactions.
Noncontrolling Interest
The noncontrolling interest related 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 was 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 to zero 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 total dividends/distributions paid during each period:

Repurchase Program
The Company’s board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $1.0 billion of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Repurchase Program”), which was approved to run on an indefinite basis and can be used by the Company to reduce its shares of common stock outstanding. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or via privately negotiated transactions at the Company’s discretion and will be subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, available liquidity, compliance with the Company’s debt agreements and other factors. The Repurchase Program does not require any specific number of shares to be acquired and can be modified or discontinued by the Company’s board of directors at any time.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under the Repurchase Program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company paid $46.8 million to repurchase 4.4 million shares of Class A Common Stock at a weighted average price of $10.70 per share as part of the Repurchase Program. The shares that were repurchased were subsequently canceled by the Company. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company paid $26.9 million to repurchase 2.0 million Common Units of OpCo resulting in an equal number of the underlying shares of Class C Common Stock simultaneously being canceled under its Repurchase Program.
Stock Issuances
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company issued 30.6 million shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the redemption of its 3.25% senior unsecured convertible notes due 2028 (the “Convertible Senior Notes”).
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 consist 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 Convertible Senior Notes using the “if-converted” method. The Company's Class C Common Stock was eliminated during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and the Convertible Senior Notes were fully redeemed during the year ended December 31, 2025, and are therefore no longer potentially dilutive securities in the EPS calculation.

Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
The Company routinely enters into, extends or amends operating agreements in the ordinary course of business. There have been no material, non-routine changes in commitments during the nine months ended September 30, 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 probable. 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 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 September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, such receivable balances were $800.8 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 nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, revenue recognized in the reporting periods related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods was 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.

2026 New Mexico Bolt-On Acquisition
On October 30, 2026, the Company completed its acquisition of Ridge Runner Resources II, LLC and its affiliated royalty company for an approximate purchase price of $1.0 billion. The purchase price is subject to customary adjustments and was funded with cash on hand and the issuance of Commercial Paper. The transaction also provides for potential contingent consideration payments of up to $125 million that are based on quarterly WTI prices over a two-year period, starting January 1, 2027. The acquisition consists of both unproved and proved oil and gas properties located in Eddy and Lea counties in New Mexico that are directly offset to the Company’s existing position in the core of the Northern Delaware Basin. The Company will account for this acquisition as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. The following discussion and analysis contain forward-looking statements that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those factors discussed in “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” and under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and the 2025 Annual Report; all of which are difficult to predict. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may or may not occur. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by applicable law.
Overview
Permian Resources Corporation is an independent oil and natural gas company focused on driving returns to our stockholders through the acquisition, optimization and development of high-return oil and natural gas properties. Our assets and operations are located in the Permian Basin, with a concentration in the core of the Delaware Basin. Our principal business objective is to increase shareholder value by efficiently developing our oil and natural gas assets, with an overall objective of improving our rates of return and generating sustainable free cash flow. Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, all references in these discussions to “Permian Resources,” “we,” “us,” or “our” are to Permian Resources Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Permian Resources Operating, LLC (“OpCo”).
Market Conditions
Our revenue, profitability and ability to return cash to stockholders can depend substantially on factors beyond our control, such as economic, political and regulatory developments. Prices for crude oil, NGLs and natural gas have experienced significant fluctuations in recent years and may continue to fluctuate widely in the future.
Crude oil prices have been highly volatile over the past year. NYMEX WTI prices declined through 2025, reaching a low of approximately $55.27 per barrel in December 2025, reflecting global supply growth, including increased OPEC+ production, and concerns regarding global economic growth, inflation, and international tariffs and trade policies. In early 2026, hostilities in the Middle East and resulting disruptions to key shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz materially curtailed crude oil exports from the region, and NYMEX WTI prices reached a high of $112.95 per barrel on April 7, 2026. Oil prices subsequently declined during the second quarter of 2026 due to developments regarding the potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, but have since risen from second-quarter lows throughout the second half of 2026 following continued disruptions affecting global oil infrastructure and tankers. Significant uncertainty remains regarding the resolution of these conflicts, the level of international production, the restoration of shipping routes, and their ultimate impact on global supply and prices.
Throughout 2025 and 2026, natural gas prices in the Permian Basin have been adversely impacted by pipeline capacity constraints out of the basin, pipeline maintenance, and higher production levels. These factors have led to lower or, during certain periods, negative regional gas prices being realized for natural gas sales at the Waha Hub in West Texas. Notably, Waha natural gas prices traded as low as negative $9.52 per MMBtu on April 16, 2026. More recently, Waha natural gas prices have returned to positive territory and averaged approximately $1.75 per MMBtu during the third quarter of 2026, driven primarily by additional pipeline capacity out of the Permian Basin.
The oil and natural gas industry is cyclical, and it is likely that commodity prices, as well as commodity price differentials, will continue to be volatile due to fluctuations in global supply and demand, inventory levels, geopolitical events and conflicts, federal and state government regulations, weather conditions, growth in alternative energy sources, supply chain constraints and other factors. The following table highlights the quarterly average price trends for NYMEX WTI spot prices for crude oil and NYMEX Henry Hub index price for natural gas since the first quarter of 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| 2024 | | 2025 | | 2026 |
| Q1 | | Q2 | | Q3 | | Q4 | | Q1 | | Q2 | | Q3 | | Q4 | | Q1 | | Q2 | | Q3 |
| Crude oil (per Bbl) | $ | 76.96 | | | $ | 80.55 | | | $ | 75.16 | | | $ | 70.28 | | | $ | 71.42 | | | $ | 63.71 | | | $ | 64.95 | | | $ | 59.13 | | | $ | 71.93 | | | $ | 92.85 | | | $ | 85.68 | |
| Natural gas (per MMBtu) | $ | 2.41 | | | $ | 2.04 | | | $ | 2.08 | | | $ | 2.42 | | | $ | 4.27 | | | $ | 3.16 | | | $ | 3.07 | | | $ | 3.69 | | | $ | 4.84 | | | $ | 2.93 | | | $ | 2.87 | |
Lower commodity prices and lower futures curves for oil and gas prices can result in impairments of our proved oil and gas properties or undeveloped acreage and may materially and adversely affect our operating cash flows, liquidity, financial condition, results of operations, future business and operations, and/or our ability to finance planned capital expenditures.
Due to the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry, fluctuating demand for oilfield goods and services can put pressure on the pricing structure within our industry. The cost of oilfield goods and services are closely linked to commodity price trends, rising when prices increase and decreasing when prices fall. In addition, the U.S. experienced elevated inflation during 2025 and 2026 due to concerns, among other things, over international conflicts, tariffs, potential sanctions and higher energy prices as discussed above. Inflationary pressures such as these may also result in increases to the costs of our oilfield goods, services and personnel, which can in turn cause our capital expenditures and operating costs to rise.
2026 Highlights
Corporate Reorganization
On January 7, 2026, we completed a corporate reorganization pursuant to which we, 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, with its shares of Class A Common Stock continuing to trade on the NYSE on an uninterrupted basis.
In connection with the Reorganization, certain holders of our Class C Common Stock exchanged all of their Common Units for Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis (and their corresponding shares of Class C Common Stock were cancelled for no consideration).
Separate from and subsequent to the Reorganization, the remaining holders of Class C Common Stock exchanged all of their outstanding Common Units for Class A Common Stock, which fully eliminated our noncontrolling interest as of March 31, 2026.
2026 Bolt-On Acquisitions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we completed multiple acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties for a cumulative adjusted purchase price of approximately $1.1 billion, adding approximately 54,000 net acres and 20,000 net royalty acres in the core of the Delaware Basin. These acquisitions are part of our ongoing bolt-on and grassroots acquisition programs with the acquired acreage directly offset to our existing core position in the Delaware Basin allowing for seamless integration, extended lateral lengths and higher working interest in existing properties.
Return of Capital Program
We have declared and paid quarterly base dividends of $0.16 per share of Class A Common Stock for a total of $0.48 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The cash dividends paid totaled $404.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Financing
During the first quarter of 2026, we achieved investment grade corporate and issuer credit ratings from Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”). Subsequently, on April 1, 2026, we achieved investment grade corporate and issuer credit ratings from Moody’s Ratings (“Moody’s”). Previously, in July 2025, we achieved investment grade corporate and issuer credit ratings from Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”). As a result, we are now rated investment grade by all three rating agencies, which we believe reflects the strength of our balance sheet, our disciplined acquisition and capital financing, and our growing scale. We anticipate this achievement will result in reduced interest expense, improved access to capital markets, and enhanced liquidity, among other benefits.
On April 15, 2026, we redeemed all of our outstanding 8.00% senior notes due 2027 (“2027 Senior Notes”) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of $550 million plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the redemption date.
On April 30, 2026, we entered into a new credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that provides for a $3.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing on April 30, 2031 (the “Credit Agreement”). In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, we terminated our existing secured revolving credit facility without penalty. Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information regarding the Credit Agreement.
On July 15, 2026, we redeemed all of the outstanding 9.875% senior notes due 2031 (“2031 Senior Notes”) at a redemption price equal to 104.938% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of $325 million plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the redemption date.
In August 2026, we established a commercial paper program that permits us to issue unsecured, short-term promissory notes (“Commercial Paper”) up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion outstanding at any time. Maturities of Commercial Paper are short-term in nature and interest rates are established at issuance in line with then-current conditions in the U.S. commercial paper market, with individual notes priced either at a discount to par or at par value. This program provides us with an additional source of short-term financing and generally allows us to borrow at lower interest rates than our revolving credit facility.

Oil and Gas Sales. Total net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2026, were $635.9 million (or 48%) higher than total net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Revenues are primarily a function of oil, NGL and natural gas volumes sold and average commodity prices realized.
Average realized sales prices for oil, NGLs and natural gas increased by 32%, 38% and 38%, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same 2025 period. The increases in the average realized prices were primarily attributable to higher NYMEX WTI crude oil prices, Mont Belvieu spot prices for plant products and regional gas prices between periods, as discussed in the “Market Conditions” section above.
Net production volumes for oil, NGLs and natural gas increased by 11%, 12% and 12%, respectively, between periods. These increases resulted from additional production added from wells placed online since the third quarter of 2025, partially offset by normal production declines across our existing wells.
Operating Expenses. The following table sets forth selected operating expense data for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, | | Increase/(Decrease) |
| 2026 | | 2025 | | Change | | % |

Severance and ad valorem taxes | 151,916 | | | 101,481 | | | 50,435 | | | 50 | % |
| Gathering, processing and transportation expenses | 51,101 | | | 53,971 | | | (2,870) | | | (5) | % |

| Severance and ad valorem taxes (% of revenue) | 7.8 | % | | 7.7 | % | | 0.1 | % | | 1 | % |
| Gathering, processing and transportation expenses (per Boe) | $ | 1.21 | | | $ | 1.43 | | | $ | (0.22) | | | (15) | % |
Lease Operating Expenses. Lease operating expenses (“LOE”) per Boe for the third quarter of 2026 was $5.11, consistent with the same 2025 period rate of $5.07, a 1% increase between periods. While LOE per Boe remained relatively unchanged, total LOE for the three months ended September 30, 2026, increased by $23.7 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025, and was the direct result of our higher well count between periods primarily due to additional wells placed on production since the third quarter of 2025.
Severance and Ad Valorem Taxes. Severance and ad valorem taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2026, increased $50.4 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. Severance taxes are based on the market value of our production at the wellhead, while ad valorem taxes are generally based on the assessed taxable value of our proved developed oil and gas properties and vary across the different counties in which we operate. The primary driver of the increase between periods related to higher severance taxes for the third quarter of 2026 compared to the same 2025 period was primarily due to the 48% higher total oil and gas sales between periods.
Gathering, Processing and Transportation Expenses. Gathering, processing and transportation (“GP&T”) expenses per Boe decreased to $1.21 for the three months ended September 30, 2026, from $1.43 for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily the result of changes to certain gathering agreements resulting in a greater portion of gathering, processing and transportation fees being reflected as a net reduction to our NGL and natural gas sales rather than as GP&T expense. Refer to Note 12—Revenues under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding our treatment of GP&T fees.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization. The following table summarizes our depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, |
| (in thousands, except per Boe data) | 2026 |
| 2025 |
| Depreciation, depletion and amortization | $ | 592,944 | | | $ | 526,915 | |
| Depreciation, depletion and amortization per Boe | $ | 14.09 | | | $ | 13.96 | |
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, DD&A expense amounted to $592.9 million, an increase of $66.0 million over the same 2025 period. The primary factor contributing to higher DD&A expense in 2026 was the increase in our overall production volumes between periods, which increased DD&A expense by $60.7 million, while our slightly higher DD&A rate of $14.09 per Boe increased DD&A expense by $5.3 million between periods. Our DD&A rate can fluctuate as a result of finding and development costs incurred, acquisitions, and impairments, as well as changes in proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves.
General and Administrative Expenses. The following table summarizes our general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, |
| (in thousands) | 2026 | | 2025 |
| Cash general and administrative expenses | $ | 30,612 | | | $ | 32,528 | |
| Stock-based compensation expense | 18,217 | | | 17,435 | |
| General and administrative expenses | $ | 48,829 | | | $ | 49,963 | |
| | | |
Cash general and administrative expenses per Boe | $ | 0.73 | | | $ | 0.86 | |
G&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2026, were $48.8 million compared to $50.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Lower G&A for the third quarter of 2026 compared to the same 2025 period was the result of a $1.9 million decrease in cash G&A driven primarily by lower consulting and professional services costs. This decrease was partially offset by higher software costs and employee compensation as well as a $0.8 million increase in stock-based compensation between periods based on the timing of grants and the vesting of our equity awards.
Interest Expense. The following table summarizes our interest expense for the periods indicated: | | | | | | | | | | | |

| Other interest expense | 519 | | | 535 | |
| Total | $ | 53,259 | | | $ | 69,386 | |
Interest expense decreased $16.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to the lower debt level resulting from senior notes that were redeemed since the beginning of the third quarter of 2025. This decrease was partially offset by higher interest expense incurred on borrowings under our Credit Agreement and on Commercial Paper outstanding, due to higher average borrowings outstanding during the 2026 period compared to the 2025 period. Refer to Note 4—Debt under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding our debt.
Gain (Loss) on Extinguishment of Debt. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized a $1.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of our 2031 Senior Notes, which reflected the difference between the applicable redemption price and the carrying value of the 2031 Senior Notes, including the associated unamortized debt premium.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a $264.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of our 3.25% senior unsecured convertible notes due 2028 (the “Convertible Senior Notes”). This loss was determined based on the difference between the value of our Class A Common Stock issued and cash paid for the redemption and the carrying amount of the Convertible Senior Notes less professional fees incurred in connection with the redemption. The 2025 loss was greater than other debt redemptions as the Convertible Senior Notes were redeemed mainly by issuing Class A Common Stock, which had risen significantly in value since the Convertible Senior Notes were issued in 2021.
Net Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments. Net gains and losses are a function of (i) changes in derivative fair values associated with fluctuations in the forward price curves for the commodities underlying each of our hedge contracts outstanding; and (ii) monthly cash settlements on any closed-out hedge positions during the period.
The following table presents gains and losses on our derivative instruments for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, |
(in thousands) | 2026 | | 2025 |
Realized cash settlement gains (losses) | $ | (83,030) | | | $ | 70,407 | |
Non-cash mark-to-market derivative gain (loss) | (225,555) | | | 35,307 | |
Total | $ | (308,585) | | | $ | 105,714 | |
Income Tax Expense. The following table summarizes our pre-tax income and income tax expense for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, |
(in thousands) | 2026 | | 2025 |
Income before income taxes | $ | 529,940 | | | $ | 168,855 | |
Income tax expense | (109,779) | | | (87,394) | |
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, we generated pre-tax net income of $529.9 million and recorded income tax expense of $109.8 million.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we generated pre-tax net income of $168.9 million and recorded income tax expense of $87.4 million. The primary factor increasing our income tax expense above the U.S. statutory rate was the tax impact associated with the redemption of the Convertible Senior Notes, which was partially offset by the portion of the pre-tax income attributable to our non-controlling interest partners that is not taxable to the Company.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025

Oil and Gas Sales. Total net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, were $1.3 billion (or 34%) higher than total net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Revenues are primarily a function of oil, NGL and natural gas volumes sold and average commodity prices realized.
The average realized sales prices for oil and NGLs increased by 29% and 10%, respectively, between periods, which was mainly the result of higher NYMEX WTI crude oil and Mont Belvieu spot prices during the first nine months of 2026 compared to the same 2025 period. These increases were partially offset by lower average realized sales prices for natural gas that decreased by 160% between periods. Our average realized natural gas price decreased to negative $0.47 per Mcf during the first nine months of 2026 compared to $0.78 per Mcf in the same 2025 period due to suppressed regional market prices as discussed under the “Market Conditions” section above. These negative gas price realizations were mitigated in part by $59.2 million in net proceeds from our purchased gas sales, which facilitate additional gas sales at markets that had more favorable pricing during the period.
Net production volumes for oil and NGLs increased 11% and 6%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same 2025 period, while natural gas volumes were flat between periods. The increase in oil production was from wells placed online since the third quarter of 2025, partially offset by normal production declines across our existing wells. NGLs and natural gas are produced concurrently with our crude oil volumes, which typically results in a high correlation between fluctuations in oil quantities sold and NGL and natural gas quantities sold. However, NGL and natural gas volumes increased less than oil volumes as a result of production curtailments of certain wells with higher gas-to-oil production ratios during periods of negative natural gas prices. NGL volumes increased more than natural gas volumes as certain processors of our raw gas operated in higher ethane-recovery mode during the first nine months of 2026 as compared to the same 2025 period, resulting in a higher percentage of NGLs being recovered from our wet gas stream as compared to natural gas.
Operating Expenses. The following table summarizes our operating expenses for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, | | Increase/(Decrease) |
| 2026 |

| Operating costs (in thousands): | | | | | | | |
| Lease operating expenses | $ | 597,838 | | | $ | 558,937 | | | $ | 38,901 | | | 7 | % |
| Severance and ad valorem taxes | 396,971 | | | 304,404 | | | 92,567 | | | 30 | % |
| Gathering, processing and transportation expenses | 138,278 | | | 156,375 | | | (18,097) | | | (12) | % |
| Operating cost metrics: | | | | | | | |
| Lease operating expenses (per Boe) | $ | 5.27 | | | $ | 5.25 | | | $ | 0.02 | | | — | % |
| Severance and ad valorem taxes (% of revenue) | 7.6 | % | | 7.8 | % | | (0.2) | % | | (3) | % |
| Gathering, processing and transportation expenses (per Boe) | $ | 1.22 | | | $ | 1.47 | | | $ | (0.25) | | | (17) | % |
Lease Operating Expenses. LOE per Boe for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, was $5.27, consistent with the rate of $5.25 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. While LOE per Boe remained unchanged, total LOE for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, increased by $38.9 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and was the direct result of our higher well count between periods primarily due to additional wells placed on production since the third quarter of 2025.
Severance and Ad Valorem Taxes. Severance and ad valorem taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, increased $92.6 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Severance taxes are based on the market value of our production at the wellhead, while ad valorem taxes are generally based on the assessed taxable value of our proved developed oil and gas properties and vary across the different counties in which we operate. Severance taxes for the first nine months of 2026 increased $101.2 million, or 39%, compared to the same 2025 period primarily due to the 34% higher total oil and gas sales between periods. This increase was partially offset by ad valorem taxes that decreased $8.6 million for the first nine months of 2026 compared to the same 2025 period primarily due to lower ad valorem tax assessments between periods, which also drove the decrease in our severance and ad valorem taxes as a percentage of revenues between periods.
Gathering, Processing and Transportation Expenses. Total GP&T expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, decreased $18.1 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This decrease in expense was mainly attributable to changes to certain gathering agreements resulting in a greater portion of gathering, processing and transportation fees being reflected as a net reduction to our NGL and natural gas sales rather than as GP&T expense.
Our GP&T per Boe rate decreased to $1.22 for the first nine months of 2026 from $1.47 for the first nine months of 2025, driven primarily by the changes in our gathering agreements and by the increase in our total production volumes while our natural gas volumes remained flat between periods. Refer to Note 12—Revenues under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding our treatment of GP&T fees.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization. The following table summarizes our DD&A for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| (in thousands, except per Boe data) | 2026 | | 2025 |
| Depreciation, depletion and amortization | $ | 1,619,392 | | | $ | 1,507,528 | |
| Depreciation, depletion and amortization per Boe | $ | 14.27 | | | $ | 14.17 | |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, DD&A expense amounted to $1.6 billion, an increase of $111.9 million over the same 2025 period. The primary factor contributing to higher DD&A expense in 2026 was the increase in our overall production volumes between periods, which increased DD&A expense by $101.0 million during the first nine months of 2026, while slightly higher DD&A rates increased DD&A expense by $10.9 million between periods. Our DD&A rate can fluctuate as a result of finding and development costs incurred, acquisitions and impairments, as well as changes in proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves.
General and Administrative Expenses. The following table summarizes our G&A expenses for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| (in thousands) | 2026 |
| 2025 |
| Cash general and administrative expenses | $ | 88,975 | | | $ | 89,931 | |
| Stock-based compensation expense | 51,579 | | | 52,927 | |
| General and administrative expenses | $ | 140,554 | | | $ | 142,858 | |
| | | |
Cash general and administrative expenses per Boe | $ | 0.78 | | | $ | 0.85 | |
G&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, were $140.6 million compared to $142.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Lower G&A for the first nine months of 2026 was the result of a $1.3 million decrease in stock-based compensation and a $1.0 million decrease in cash G&A compared to the same 2025 period. Stock-based compensation fluctuates between periods based on the timing of grants and the vesting of our equity awards. The decrease in cash G&A was primarily due to lower consulting and professional services costs, partially offset by higher employee compensation and software costs.
Interest Expense. The following table summarizes our interest expense for the periods indicated: | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, |
(in thousands) | 2026 | | 2025 |

6.25% Senior Notes due 2033 | 46,875 | | | 46,875 | |
| Amortization of debt issuance costs, discount and premium | 7,971 | | | 6,313 | |
| Other interest expense | 2,133 | | | 1,617 | |
| Total | $ | 179,927 | | | $ | 215,995 | |
Interest expense was $36.1 million lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same 2025 period primarily due to the lower debt level resulting from senior notes that were redeemed since the beginning of 2025. This decrease was partially offset by higher interest expense incurred on borrowings under our Credit Agreement and on Commercial Paper outstanding, due to higher average borrowings outstanding during the 2026 period compared to the 2025 period. Refer to Note 4—Debt under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding our debt.
Gain (Loss) on Extinguishment of Debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized a $6.7 million gain on extinguishment of debt related to the redemptions of our 2027 Senior Notes and 2031 Senior Notes, which reflected the difference between the applicable redemption prices and the carrying value of the notes, including the associated unamortized debt premiums.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a $270.1 million loss on extinguishment of debt primarily related to the redemption of our Convertible Senior Notes. This loss was determined based on the difference between the value of our Class A Common Stock issued and cash paid for the redemption and the carrying amount of the Convertible Senior Notes less professional fees incurred in connection with the redemption. The loss was greater than other debt redemptions as the Convertible Senior Notes were redeemed mainly by issuing Class A Common Stock, which had risen significantly in value since the Convertible Senior Notes were issued in 2021.
Net Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments. Net gains and losses are a function of (i) changes in derivative fair values associated with fluctuations in the forward price curves for the commodities underlying each of our hedge contracts outstanding; and (ii) monthly cash settlements on any closed-out hedge positions during the period.
The following table presents gains and losses on our derivative instruments for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, | | | | | | |

Realized cash settlement gains (losses) | $ | (171,069) | | | $ | 147,478 | | | | | | | |
Non-cash mark-to-market derivative gain (loss) | (338,294) | | | 88,986 | | | | | | | |
Total | $ | (509,363) | | | $ | 236,464 | | | | | | | |
Income Tax Expense. The following table summarizes our pre-tax income and income tax expense for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, |
(in thousands) | 2026 | | 2025 |
Income before income taxes | $ | 1,609,672 | | | $ | 967,259 | |
Income tax expense | (346,653) | | | (250,214) | |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we generated pre-tax net income of $1.6 billion and recorded income tax expense of $346.7 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we generated pre-tax net income of $967.3 million and recorded income tax expense of $250.2 million. The primary factor increasing our income tax expense above the U.S. statutory rate was the tax impact associated with the redemption of the Convertible Senior Notes, which was partially offset by the portion of the pre-tax income attributable to our non-controlling interest partners that is not taxable to the Company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, borrowings under our credit facility or commercial paper program, or proceeds from offerings of debt or equity securities. Our future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including oil and natural gas prices, which have been and will likely continue to be volatile. Lower commodity prices can negatively impact our cash flows and our ability to access debt or equity markets, and sustained low oil and natural gas prices could have a material and adverse effect on our liquidity position. To date, our primary uses of capital have been for drilling and development capital expenditures and the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties.
During 2026, we achieved investment grade credit ratings from S&P and Moody’s. We previously achieved investment grade credit ratings from Fitch in 2025. We believe this achievement enhances our financial flexibility by broadening our access to investment grade debt markets, reducing our cost of borrowing, and expanding potential investors eligible to hold our indebtedness. Additionally, in August 2026 we established a commercial paper program that provides us with an additional source of short-term financing and generally allows us to borrow at lower interest rates than our revolving credit facility.
We continually evaluate our capital needs and compare them to our capital resources. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, our total capital expenditures incurred for drilling and development activity were $1.5 billion. We funded our capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, entirely from cash flows from operations, and we expect to fund the remainder of our 2026 capital expenditures budget entirely from cash flows from operations given our anticipated level of oil and gas production, current commodity prices and our commodity hedge positions in place.
We are the operator of a high percentage of our acreage and can control the amount and timing of our capital expenditures. Accordingly, we can choose to defer or accelerate a portion of our planned capital expenditures depending on a variety of factors, including but not limited to: (i) prevailing and anticipated prices for oil and natural gas; (ii) oil and gas storage or transportation constraints; (iii) the success of our drilling activities; (iv) the availability of necessary equipment, infrastructure and capital; (v) the receipt and timing of required regulatory permits and approvals; (vi) seasonal conditions; (vii) property or land acquisition costs; and (viii) the level of participation by other working interest owners.
We plan to return capital to shareholders primarily through our base dividend, in addition to opportunistic share repurchases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we declared and paid quarterly dividends of $0.16 per share of Class A Common Stock for a total of $0.48 per share. The cash dividends paid totaled $404.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Our stock repurchase program can be used to reduce our shares of common stock outstanding. Such repurchases would be made at terms and prices determined by us based upon prevailing market conditions, applicable legal requirements, available liquidity, compliance with our debt agreements and other factors.
In addition, we may, from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding senior notes through cash purchases and/or exchanges for debt in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. During the second quarter of 2026, we redeemed our 2027 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the $550.0 million principal amount outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Additionally, during the third quarter, we redeemed our 2031 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 104.938% of the $325.0 million principal amount outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Although we cannot provide any assurance that cash flows from operations or other sources of needed capital will be available to us at acceptable terms, or at all, and noting that our ability to access the public or private debt or equity capital markets at economic terms in the future will be affected by general economic conditions, the domestic and global oil and financial markets, our operational and financial performance, the value and performance of our debt or equity securities, prevailing commodity prices and other macroeconomic factors outside of our control, we believe that based on our current expectations and projections, we will have sufficient capital available to fund our capital expenditure requirements through the 12-month period following the filing of this Quarterly Report and the long-term. Additionally, our recently achieved investment grade credit ratings from each of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch are expected to further support our access to the debt capital markets at favorable terms.
Analysis of Cash Flow Changes
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| (in thousands) | 2026 | | 2025 |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 3,575,339 | | | $ | 2,703,214 | |
Net cash used in investing activities | (2,725,178) | | | (2,147,414) | |
Net cash used in financing activities | (908,818) | | | (923,338) | |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we generated $3.6 billion of cash from operating activities, an increase of $872.1 million from the same period in 2025. Cash provided by operating activities increased primarily due to higher realized prices and production volumes for oil and NGLs, more purchased gas sales, less cash interest expense, lower GP&T expense and less cash G&A expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same 2025 period. These increasing factors were partially offset by lower realized prices for natural gas, less realized cash settlements on our derivative contracts, higher severance and ad valorem taxes and lease operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same 2025 period. Refer to “Results of Operations” for more information on the impact of volumes and prices on revenues and on fluctuations in our operating costs between periods.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, cash flows from operating activities, net borrowings under our commercial paper program and cash on hand were used to (i) fund $1.5 billion of drilling and development cash capital expenditures; (ii) fund acquisitions of oil and gas properties of $1.2 billion; (iii) redeem $875.0 million of our senior notes; and (iv) pay $404.1 million in dividends to our shareholders.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash flows from operating activities, cash on hand and proceeds of $179.6 million primarily from the sale of oil and natural gas gathering systems that were acquired during a prior year acquisition were used to (i) fund $1.5 billion of drilling and development cash capital expenditures; (ii) fund acquisitions of oil and gas properties of $830.3 million; (iii) redeem $464.5 million of our senior notes; (iv) pay $366.8 million in dividends and cash distributions to our shareholders and holders of our Common Units; and (v) repurchase $73.7 million of our Class A and C Common Stock.
Credit Agreement
We have a revolving Credit Agreement that provides for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2026, we had no borrowings outstanding and $3.0 billion in available borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement.
The 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 Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for aggregate commitments of $3.0 billion, 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 and includes a swingline subfacility and a letter of credit subfacility.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at our election, based on either SOFR plus an applicable margin or the Alternate Base Rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins for SOFR and Alternate Base Rate borrowings, as well as commitment fees for undrawn commitments, are based on our credit rating for our long-term senior unsecured indebtedness. As of September 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 Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and events of default that we believe are customary for investment grade, senior unsecured commercial bank credit agreements, including a financial covenant for the maintenance of a Total Indebtedness to Capitalization Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no greater than 65%.

In August 2026, we established a commercial paper program that allows us to issue unsecured notes of up to 364 days, with up to $2.0 billion outstanding at any time. As of September 30, 2026, we had $393.0 million of Commercial Paper outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 4.4%, all maturing in October 2026. The Credit Agreement serves as a liquidity backstop for the program.
