Proved undeveloped reserves or PUD. Proved reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for completion. 
Realized price. The cash market price less differentials.
Reserves. Estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and natural gas or related substances to market and all permits and financing required to implement the project.
Reservoir. A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible oil and/or natural gas that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual and separate from other reservoirs.
Royalty interest. An interest in an oil or gas property entitling the owner to shares of the production free of costs of exploration, development and production operations.
SOFR. Secured Overnight Funding Rate.
Spot market price. The cash market price without reduction for expected quality, location, transportation and demand adjustments.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “could,” “may,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “goal,” “plan,” “target” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”) and the risk factors and other cautionary statements contained in our other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Forward-looking statements may include statements about:
•volatility of oil, natural gas and NGL prices or a prolonged period of low oil, natural gas or NGL prices and the effects of actions by, or disputes among or between, members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”), such as Saudi Arabia, and other oil and natural gas producing countries, such as Russia, with respect to production levels or other matters related to the price of oil;
•political and economic conditions in or affecting other producing regions or countries, including the Middle East, Russia, Eastern Europe, Africa and South America;
•our business strategy and future drilling plans; 
•our reserves and our ability to replace the reserves we produce through drilling and property acquisitions; 
•our ability to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies from the Earthstone Merger and effectively integrate the assets (as such capitalized terms are defined below);
•our drilling prospects, inventories, projects and programs; 
•our financial strategy, return of capital program, leverage, liquidity and capital required for our development program; 
•our realized oil, natural gas and NGL prices; 
•the timing and amount of our future production of oil, natural gas and NGLs; 
•our ability to identify, complete and effectively integrate acquisitions of properties or businesses;
•our hedging strategy and results; 
•our competition and government regulations; 
•our ability to obtain permits and governmental approvals; 
•our pending legal or environmental matters; 
•the marketing and transportation of our oil, natural gas and NGLs; 
•our leasehold or business acquisitions; 
•cost of developing or operating our properties;
•our anticipated rate of return;
•general economic conditions; 
•weather conditions in the areas where we operate;
•credit markets; 
•our ability to make dividends, distributions and share repurchases;
•uncertainty regarding our future operating results; and 
•our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions contained in this Quarterly Report that are not historical.

We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to the development, production, gathering and sale of oil and natural gas. These risks include, but are not limited to commodity price volatility, inflation, lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services, risks relating to the merger of the company with Earthstone Energy, Inc. (the “Earthstone Merger”), environmental risks, drilling and other operating risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital, the timing of development expenditures and the other risks described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and our 2022 Annual Report.
Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.
Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report or our 2022 Annual Report occur, or underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this Quarterly Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.
Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statement in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Permian Resources Corporation is an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the responsible acquisition, optimization and development of crude oil and associated liquids-rich natural gas reserves. The Company’s assets and operations are concentrated in the Delaware Basin, a sub-basin of the Permian Basin, and its properties consist of large, contiguous acreage blocks located in West Texas and 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”).
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain disclosures normally included in an Annual Report on Form 10-K have been omitted. 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, 2022 (the “2022 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 Company’s 2022 Annual Report.
In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments and accruals considered necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s interim financial results have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary OpCo, and OpCo’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interest represents third-party ownership in OpCo and is presented as a component of equity. 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, natural gas and NGL 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company entered into additional wellhead equipment lease agreements for assets placed into service and recorded lease right-of-use assets and related liabilities based on the present value of future lease payments over the equipment lease terms. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had recorded in aggregate a $15.4 million current operating lease liability and a $14.1 million noncurrent operating lease liability related to these wellhead equipment agreements.
In April 2023, the Company purchased an office building in Midland, Texas for $27.5 million, where it had previously been a lessee of the building at the time of purchase. As a result of this purchase, $9.3 million of operating lease right-of-use assets and $13.6 million of operating lease liabilities were removed from the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023. As part of the building purchase, the Company also assumed a ninety-nine year ground lease and accordingly, recorded a financing lease liability of $15.5 million as of September 30, 2023, which represents the present value of the future payment obligations under its lease term. The lease payments start at $0.8 million per year and escalate 2.5% annually until year 2076. The corresponding right-of-use asset recognized for this ground lease amounted to $15.2 million as of September 30, 2023.

There have been no other significant changes in leases during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Refer to Note 16—Leases in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s 2022 Annual Report.
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 or loss generated by the Company. As of the date of the Colgate Merger (defined below), 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 or loss generated by OpCo is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including the Company, on a pro rata basis corresponding to the percentage of Common Units in OpCo owned. Prior to the Colgate Merger, OpCo was fully owned by the Company and all income and loss was taxable.
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.
Note 2—Acquisitions and Divestitures
Earthstone Merger
On August 21, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“the Merger Agreement”) with Earthstone Energy, Inc. (“Earthstone”) pursuant to which Permian Resources acquired Earthstone (the “Earthstone Merger”). Earthstone was an independent oil and gas company engaged in the operation and development of oil and natural gas properties in the Permian Basin in both Texas and New Mexico. Earthstone’s assets consisted of approximately 167,000 net leasehold acres in the Midland Basin and 56,000 net leasehold acres in the Delaware Basin, and Earthstone’s Delaware Basin acreage is offset to Permian Resources’ existing acreage in Lea and Eddy Counties. The Merger was completed to drive long-term accretion across the Company’s key financial and operating metrics, enhance shareholder returns, improve capital efficiency, and add significant core inventory locations to the Company’s existing position in the Permian Basin.
In connection with the Merger, the Board of Directors of both companies unanimously determined (i) each share of Earthstone Class A Common Stock would be converted into the right to receive 1.446 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Permian Resources Class A Common Stock, (ii) each share of Earthstone Class B Common Stock would be converted into the right to receive 1.446 shares of Permian Resources Class C Common Stock, (iii) each common unit of Earthstone Energy Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of Earthstone (“Earthstone OpCo”) representing limited liability company membership interests in Earthstone OpCo would be converted into the right to receive a number of common units representing limited liability company interests in OpCo (“Common Units”), equal to the Exchange Ratio, and (iv) all existing shares of Permian Resources Common Stock would remain outstanding. The companies have filed their definitive proxy statements with the SEC, and the shareholder meetings were held October 30, 2023, where the Company’s and Earthstone’s shareholders approved the Earthstone Merger.
15

PERMIAN RESOURCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

On November 1, 2023 the Earthstone Merger was completed and the Company issued 161.0 million shares of its Class A Common Stock and 49.5 million shares of its Class C Common Stock to Earthstone stockholders under the terms of the Merger Agreement, and the Company also assumed Earthstone’s debt upon closing of Merger, which consisted of $1.05 billion of senior notes and all borrowings outstanding under its credit facility at closing. Based on the closing price of the Company's Class A Common Stock on November 1, 2023, the preliminary value of the share consideration was approximately $3.0 billion.
The Earthstone Merger will be accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, with the Company being identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Earthstone will be recorded at their respective fair values as of the November 1, 2023 acquisition date. The preliminary purchase price allocation and accounting is not complete as of the date of this report due to the timing of the close of the Earthstone Merger.
Although this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was filed after the completion of the Earthstone Merger, information set forth herein only relates to the results of operations for Permian Resources for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and does not include any financial information for Earthstone for such periods. The post-acquisition results of operations of Earthstone for the last two months of the fourth quarter of 2023 will be included in the Company's consolidated results for the period ending December 31, 2023.
2023 Bolt-On Acquisition
On February 16, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of approximately 4,000 net leasehold acres and 3,300 net royalty acres for an unadjusted purchase price of $98 million. The acquired assets consist largely of undeveloped acreage that is contiguous to one of the Company’s existing core acreage blocks in Lea County, New Mexico.
The acquisition was recorded as an asset acquisition in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. Total consideration paid was $107.3 million after settlement statement adjustments, of which $61.8 million was allocated to unproved properties and $60.5 million to proved properties on a relative fair value basis, $9.8 million to net working capital (including $11.3 million in cash acquired), less a deferred tax liability assumed of $24.8 million. As of September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $1.6 million in direct transaction costs related to this purchase that have been capitalized as acquisition costs.
2023 SWD Divestiture
On March 13, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its operated saltwater disposal wells and the associated produced water infrastructure in Reeves County, Texas. The total cash consideration received at closing was $125 million of which $65 million was directly related to the sale and transfer of control of its water assets, while the remaining $60 million consisted of contingent consideration that is tied to the Company’s future drilling, completion and water connection activity in Reeves County, Texas. The $60 million of contingent consideration will require repayment if certain performance obligations through September 2026 are not met, and it has been recorded as a liability within the Company’s consolidated balance sheet accordingly. There was no gain or loss recognized as a result of this divestiture.
Colgate Merger
On September 1, 2022, the Company completed its merger (the “Colgate Merger”) with Colgate Energy Partners III, LLC (“Colgate”). Colgate was an independent oil and gas exploration and development company with properties located in the Delaware Basin. Refer to Note 2—Business Combination footnote in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s 2022 Annual Report for additional details regarding the Colgate Merger.
Purchase Price Allocation
The Colgate Merger was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, with the Company being identified as the accounting acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values as of the Colgate Merger closing date, which requires judgment and certain assumptions to be made. Oil and natural gas properties were valued using an income based approach which incorporates a discounted cash flow method. The fair value of Colgate’s outstanding senior notes was based on unadjusted quoted prices for these same notes in an active market. The value of derivative instruments was based on Level 2 inputs similar to the Company's other commodity price derivatives. Refer to Note 8—Fair Value Measurements for additional information on fair value measurements.

(1)     The fair value ascribed to the Company’s Class C Common Stock, that was issued as part of merger consideration, was determined by applying a valuation discount to the share price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as of the Merger closing date. This discount was determined using a Finnerty model, which considers the lack of marketability of the Class C Common Stock associated with its 180-day minimum holding period required per the terms of the transaction agreement governing the Colgate Merger. The valuation model considers expected volatility based on the historical volatility of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, a risk-free interest rate based on U.S. Treasury yield curves, and the Company’s current dividend yield.
Supplemental Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The results of Colgate’s operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since September 1, 2022, the effective date of the Colgate Merger.

Credit Agreement
OpCo, the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, has a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that provides for a five-year secured revolving credit facility, maturing in February 2027 (the “Credit Agreement”) that, as of September 30, 2023, had a borrowing base of $2.5 billion and elected commitments of $1.5 billion. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had no borrowings outstanding and $1.5 billion in available borrowing capacity, net of $5.8 million in letters of credit outstanding.
On September 1, 2023, the Company entered into the fourth and fifth amendments to the Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment” and the “Fifth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment expanded the waiver of the automatic reduction of the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement to, among other things, allow for the assumption (or the issuance, in certain circumstances) of up to $1.05 billion principal amount of Permitted Senior Unsecured Notes (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to refinance debt that may be assumed pursuant to the Earthstone Merger and otherwise allow for the issuance of Permitted Senior Unsecured Notes up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion. The Fifth Amendment, among other things, waives compliance with certain restrictive covenants to enable the Earthstone Merger, subject to customary conditions. In addition, the Fifth Amendment increases the aggregate elected commitments from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion. The Fifth Amendment is subject to and effective as of the closing date of the Earthstone Merger on November 1, 2023.
On April 24, 2023, the Company entered into the third amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment, among other things, (i) reaffirmed the borrowing base at $2.5 billion and maintained the elected commitments at $1.5 billion; (ii) expanded the exceptions to the negative covenants to permit the incurrence of additional indebtedness on a pari passu basis with the facilities in the Credit Agreement, subject to certain conditions; and (iii) made technical changes to permit OpCo to potentially incur term loans in addition to the revolving loans provided under the Credit Agreement, subject to terms to be agreed with the lenders making such term loans and to the terms of the Credit Agreement.
The amount available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement is equal to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base, which is set at $2.5 billion; (ii) aggregate elected commitments, which is set at $1.5 billion currently; or (iii) $3.0 billion. The borrowing base is redetermined semi-annually in the spring and fall by the lenders in their sole discretion. It also allows for the Company to request two optional borrowing base redeterminations in between the scheduled redeterminations. The borrowing base depends on, among other things, the quantities of OpCo’s proved oil and natural gas reserves, estimated cash flows from those reserves, and the Company’s commodity hedge positions. Upon a redetermination of the borrowing base, if actual borrowings outstanding exceed the revised borrowing capacity, OpCo could be required to immediately repay a portion of its debt outstanding. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of OpCo’s subsidiaries.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be base rate loans or Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) loans. Interest is payable quarterly for base rate loans and at the end of the applicable interest period for SOFR loans. SOFR loans bear interest at SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 175 to 275 basis points, depending on the percentage of elected commitments utilized, plus an additional 10 basis point credit spread adjustment. Base rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of: (i) the agent bank’s prime rate; (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points; or (iii) the adjusted Term SOFR rate for a one-month interest period plus 100 basis points, plus an applicable margin, ranging from 75 to 175 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized.

OpCo also pays a commitment fee of 37.5 to 50 basis points on unused elected commitment amounts under its facility.
The Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants that limit our ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) make investments and loans; (iii) enter into mergers; (iv) make restricted payments; (v) repurchase or redeem junior debt; (vi) enter into commodity hedges exceeding a specified percentage of our expected production; (vii) enter into interest rate hedges exceeding a specified percentage of its outstanding indebtedness; (viii) incur liens; (ix) sell assets; and (x) engage in transactions with affiliates.
The Credit Agreement also requires OpCo to maintain compliance with the following financial ratios:
(i) a current ratio, which is the ratio of OpCo’s consolidated current assets (including an add back of unused commitments under the revolving credit facility and excluding non-cash derivative assets and certain restricted cash) to its consolidated current liabilities (excluding the current portion of long-term debt under the Credit Agreement and non-cash derivative liabilities), of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; and
(ii) a leverage ratio, as defined within the Credit Agreement as the ratio of total funded debt to consolidated EBITDAX (as defined within the Credit Agreement) for the most recent quarter annualized, of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0.
The Credit Agreement includes fall away covenants, lower interest rates and reduced collateral requirements that OpCo may elect if OpCo is assigned an Investment Grade Rating (as defined within the Credit Agreement).
OpCo was in compliance with the covenants and the applicable financial ratios described above as of September 30, 2023.
Convertible Senior Notes
On March 19, 2021, OpCo issued $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.25% senior unsecured convertible notes due 2028 (the “Convertible Senior Notes”). On March 26, 2021, OpCo issued an additional $20.0 million of Convertible Senior Notes pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase additional Convertible Senior Notes. These issuances resulted in aggregate net proceeds to OpCo of $163.6 million, after deducting debt issuance costs of $6.4 million. Interest is payable on the Convertible Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears on each April 1 and October 1.
The Convertible Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and each of OpCo’s current subsidiaries.
The Convertible Senior Notes will mature on April 1, 2028 unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before January 3, 2028, noteholders have the right to convert their Convertible Senior Notes (i) upon the occurrence of certain events; (ii) if the Company’s share price exceeds 130% of the conversion price for any 20 trading days during the last 30 consecutive trading days of a calendar quarter, after June 30, 2021; or (iii) if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the notes is less than 98% of the Company’s share price multiplied by the conversion rate, for a 10 consecutive trading day period. In addition, after January 2, 2028, noteholders may convert their Convertible Senior Notes at any time at their election through the second scheduled trading day immediately before the April 1, 2028 maturity date. As of September 30, 2023, certain conditions have been met, and as a result, noteholders have the right to convert their Convertible Senior Notes during the third quarter of 2023.
OpCo can settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of Class A Common Stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Class A Common Stock, at OpCo’s election. The initial conversion rate was 159.2610 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $6.28 per share of Class A Common Stock. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events (as defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Senior Notes) which, in certain circumstances, will increase the conversion rate for a specified period of time. As of September 30, 2023, the conversion rate was adjusted to 163.6986 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes as a result of cash dividends and distributions paid. In the context of this issuance, we refer to the notes as convertible in accordance with ASC 470 - Debt. However, per the terms of the Convertible Senior Notes’ indenture, the Convertible Senior Notes were issued by OpCo and are exchangeable into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.
OpCo has the option to redeem, in whole or in part, all of the Convertible Senior Notes at any time on or after April 7, 2025, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, but only if the last reported sale price per share of Class A Common Stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price (i) for any 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the day immediately before the date OpCo sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) also on the trading day immediately before the date OpCo sends such notice.

If certain corporate events occur, including certain business combination transactions involving the Company or OpCo or a stock de-listing with respect to the Class A Common Stock, noteholders may require OpCo to repurchase their Convertible Senior Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the repurchase date.
Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Senior Notes), the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Convertible Senior Notes may declare the Convertible Senior Notes immediately due and payable. In addition, a default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, OpCo or any of the subsidiary guarantors will automatically cause all outstanding Convertible Senior Notes to become due and payable.
At issuance, the Company recorded a liability equal to the face value the Convertible Senior Notes, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, in Long-term debt, net in the consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2023, the net liability related to the Convertible Senior Notes was $165.7 million.
Capped Called Transactions
In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes in March 2021, OpCo entered into privately negotiated capped call spread transactions with option counterparties (the “Capped Call Transactions”). The Capped Call Transactions cover the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that initially underlie the Convertible Senior Notes and are expected to (i) generally reduce potential dilution to the Class A Common Stock upon a conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes, and/or; (ii) offset any cash payments OpCo is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes, subject to a cap. The Capped Call Transactions have an initial strike price of $6.28 per share of Class A Common Stock and an initial capped price of $8.4525 per share of Class A Common Stock, each of which are subject to certain customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain corporate events, as defined in the capped call agreements.
Senior Unsecured Notes
On September 12, 2023, OpCo issued at par $500.0 million of 7.00% senior notes due 2032 (the “2032 Senior Notes”) in a 144A private placement that resulted in net proceeds to OpCo of $491.9 million, after deducting $8.1 million of debt issuance costs. Interest is payable on the 2032 Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears each January 15 and July 15.
On September 1, 2022, in connection with the Colgate Merger, the Company entered into supplemental indentures whereby all of Colgate’s outstanding senior notes were assumed and became the senior unsecured debt of OpCo. The senior notes assumed by OpCo included $300 million of 7.75% senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 7.75% Senior Notes”) and $700 million of 5.875% senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”). The Company recorded the acquired senior notes at their fair values as of the Colgate Merger closing date, which were equal to 100% of par for the 2026 7.75% Senior Notes and 92.96% of par (a $49.3 million debt discount) for the 2029 Senior Notes. Interest on the 2026 7.75% Senior Notes is paid semi-annually each February 15 and August 15 and interest on the 2029 Senior Notes is paid semi-annually each January 1 and July 1.
On March 15, 2019, OpCo issued $500.0 million of 6.875% senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Senior Notes”) in a 144A private placement at a price equal to 99.235% of par that resulted in net proceeds to OpCo of $489.0 million, after deducting the original issuance discount of $3.8 million and debt issuance costs of $7.2 million. Interest is payable on the 2027 Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears each April 1 and October 1.
On November 30, 2017, OpCo issued at par $400.0 million of 5.375% senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 5.375% Senior Notes” and collectively with the 2032 Senior Notes, 2027 Senior Notes, 2029 Senior Notes and the 2026 7.75% Senior Notes, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) in a 144A private placement that resulted in net proceeds to OpCo of $391.0 million, after deducting $9.0 million in debt issuance costs. Interest is payable on the 2026 5.375% Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears each January 15 and July 15.
In May 2020, $110.6 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 5.375% Senior Notes and $143.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Senior Notes were validly tendered and exchanged by certain eligible bondholders for consideration consisting of $127.1 million aggregate principal amount of 8.00% second lien senior secured notes, which were fully redeemed at par in connection with the Convertible Senior Notes issuance during the second quarter of 2021. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining aggregate principal amount of 2027 Senior Notes and 2026 5.375% Senior Notes outstanding was $356.4 million and $289.4 million, respectively.
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 OpCo’s Credit Agreement.

At any time prior to the Optional Redemption Dates, OpCo may, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the Senior Unsecured Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium, and any accrued and unpaid interest as of the date of redemption. On and after the Optional Redemption Dates, OpCo may redeem the Senior Unsecured Notes, in whole or in part, at redemption prices expressed as percentages of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
If OpCo experiences certain defined changes of control (and, in some cases, followed by a ratings decline), each holder of the Senior Unsecured Notes may require OpCo to repurchase all or a portion of its Senior Unsecured Notes for cash at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Senior Unsecured Notes, plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
The indentures governing the Senior Unsecured Notes contain covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, limit OpCo’s ability and the ability of OpCo’s restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain types of preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; (iii) transfer or sell assets; (iv) make investments; (v) create certain liens; (vi) enter into agreements that restrict dividends or other payments from their subsidiaries to them; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of their assets; (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates; and (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries. OpCo was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2023.
Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the indentures governing the Senior Unsecured Notes), the trustee or the holders of at least 25% (or in the case of the 2026 7.75% Senior Notes and the 2029 Senior Notes, 30%) of the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Senior Unsecured Notes may declare the Senior Unsecured Notes immediately due and payable. In addition, a default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to OpCo, any restricted subsidiary of OpCo that is a significant subsidiary, or any group of restricted subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a significant subsidiary, will automatically cause all outstanding Senior Unsecured Notes to become due and payable.
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, 2023:
(in thousands)
Asset retirement obligations, beginning of period
$ 40,947

Liabilities acquired 5,260 
Liabilities divested and settled

Asset retirement obligations, end of period
$ 44,393 
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 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
On May 23, 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2023 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”). The LTIP is an equity incentive plan that replaced the Company’s prior plan and, among other things, increased the number of shares of Class A Common Stock authorized for issuance to employees and directors by 25,000,000 shares to a total of 69,250,000 shares. The LTIP provides for grants of restricted stock, stock options (including incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options), restricted stock units (including performance stock units), stock appreciation rights and other stock or cash-based awards.
Stock-based compensation expense is recognized within both General and administrative expenses and Exploration and other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company accounts for forfeitures of awards granted under the LTIP as they occur.
The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense recognized for the periods presented:
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,

(1)     Includes expenses related to the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). In May 2019, an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares were authorized by stockholders for issuance under the ESPP, which became effective on July 1, 2019. As of January 1, 2023, the Company no longer offers the ESPP.
Equity Awards
The Company has 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 are 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 (“ASC 718”).
In connection with the Colgate Merger, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) approved a resolution to extend severance benefits under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”) to employees that experience a Qualifying Termination (as defined in the Severance Plan) following the Colgate Merger. As a result, affected employees of the Company will receive an accelerated vesting of their unvested restricted stock awards and PSUs upon termination, which will change the terms of the vesting conditions and will be treated as modifications in accordance with ASC 718. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, nineteen employees had Qualifying Terminations and received accelerated vesting of their unvested stock awards accordingly. These modifications resulted in an increase to total stock-based compensation expense of $7.1 million and $39.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $7.0 million for three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of the change in the fair value of the modified awards. The restricted stock shares and performance stock units that were accelerated are included within the vested line items in the below tables.

Restricted Stock
The following table provides information about restricted stock activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2023:
Restricted Stock Weighted Average Fair Value

Forfeited (601,391) 7.72 
Unvested balance as of September 30, 2023 3,745,209  8.14 
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 five-year service period, and to directors, which vest 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, 2023 and 2022 was $34.5 million and $18.3 million, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted shares that were unvested as of September 30, 2023 was $26.2 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of 2.2 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.
The following table provides information about stock option awards outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

Exercisable as of September 30, 2023 835,299  16.21  3.4 $ 688 
The total fair value of stock options that vested was minimal during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The intrinsic value of the stock options exercised was $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and minimal for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options.
Performance Stock Units
The Company grants performance stock units (“PSU”) to certain officers that are subject to market-based vesting criteria as well as a service period ranging from three to five years. Vesting at the end of the service period depends on the Company’s absolute annualized total shareholder return (“TSR”) over the service period, as well as the Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of a peer group of 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 or modification date, as applicable.

The fair values of the awards are estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The Monte Carlo valuation model is based on random projections of stock price paths and must be repeated numerous times to achieve a probabilistic assessment. Expected volatility was calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, and the risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield curve rates with maturities consistent with the vesting periods.
The following table summarizes the key assumptions and related information used to determine the fair value of PSUs measured during the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

Unvested balance as of September 30, 2023 5,034,920  15.17 
(1)     This balance includes vested PSU awards as of September 30, 2023 based on the original number of PSUs granted. Actual PSUs vested is based upon the Company’s absolute annualized TSR calculation at the time of vesting, which may be greater than or less than the original number granted.
The total fair value of PSUs that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $41.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, there was $49.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to PSUs that were unvested, which the Company expects to recognize on a pro-rata basis over a weighted average period of 3.0 years.
Liability Awards
The Company granted 5.5 million PSUs during third quarter of 2020 to certain executive officers that were settleable in cash and subject to market-based vesting criteria as well as a three-year service condition unless otherwise accelerated in accordance with the terms in the 2020 PSU agreement. As the PSUs were settleable in cash they were classified as liability awards in accordance with ASC 718 with the compensation cost for these liability awards being recorded based on their fair value as of each balance sheet date.
On August 18, 2022, the Compensation Committee amended the 2020 PSU agreement to allow a portion of the units to be settled in either cash or Class A Common Stock upon vesting at the Company’s discretion. At that time, the Company had the ability and intended to settle the 4.7 million 2020 PSUs that were modified in shares. As a result, these units were reclassified to equity based awards in accordance with ASC 718 and $10.0 million of incremental stock compensation expense was recognized during the third quarter of 2022 associated with the change in the fair value of the units. As of September 30, 2023, the 2020 PSUs were fully vested and settled in shares.
The remaining 0.8 million 2020 PSUs were accelerated vested and settled in a $9.4 million cash payment during the third quarter of 2022. There are no liability classified performance stock units outstanding as of September 30, 2023.

Note 7—Derivative Instruments
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations and may use derivative instruments to manage its exposure to commodity price risk from time to time.
Commodity Derivative Contracts
Historically, prices received for crude oil and natural gas production have been volatile because of supply and demand factors, worldwide political factors, general economic conditions and seasonal weather patterns. The Company may periodically use derivative instruments, such as swaps, costless collars and basis swaps, 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 Swap and Collar Contracts. The Company may use commodity derivative instruments known as fixed price swaps to realize a known price for a specific volume of production, basis swaps to hedge the difference between the index price and a local or future index price, or costless collars to establish fixed price floors and ceilings. All transactions are settled in cash with one party paying the other for the resulting difference in price multiplied by the contract volume.

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

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 OpCo’s Credit Agreement. The Company enters into new hedge arrangements only with participants under its Credit Agreement, since these institutions are secured equally with the holders of any OpCo bank debt, which eliminates the potential need to post collateral when the Company is in a derivative liability position. As a result, 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 is a lender under OpCo’s Credit Agreement as referenced above.

Note 8—Fair Value Measurements
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure, which establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

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

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

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

The following table presents, for each applicable level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s net derivative assets and liabilities, including both current and noncurrent portions, measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
(in thousands)
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
September 30, 2023
Total assets
$ —  $ 2,662  $ —

—  53,769  — 
December 31, 2022
Total assets
$ —  $ 119,122  $ — 
Total liabilities
—  4,656  — 
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.
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; and (vi) a market participant-based weighted average cost of capital rate. These inputs require significant judgements and estimates by the Company’s management at the time of valuation. Refer to Note 2—Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties. The Company reviews its proved oil and natural gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the fair value of these assets may be below their carrying value. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows from oil and gas properties is less than the carrying amount of the assets. In this circumstance, the Company then recognizes impairment expense for the amount by which the carrying amount of proved properties exceeds their estimated fair value. The Company reviews its oil and natural gas properties on a field-by-field basis.
The Company calculates the estimated fair value of its oil and natural gas properties using an income approach that is based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. Significant inputs to the expected future net cash flows used for the impairment review and the related fair value measurement of oil and natural gas proved properties include estimates of: (i) oil and gas reserves; (ii) future production decline rates; (iii) future operating and development costs; (iv) future commodity prices, including price differentials; and (v) a market participant-based weighted average cost of capital rate. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates by the Company’s management.
Asset Retirement Obligations. The initial measurement of ARO at fair value is calculated using discounted cash flow techniques and is based on internal estimates of future retirement costs associated with property, plant and equipment. Significant Level 3 inputs used in the calculation of ARO include the estimated future costs to plug and abandon oil and gas properties and reserve lives. Refer to Note 5—Asset Retirement Obligations for additional information on the Company’s ARO.
Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturities and/or liquid nature of these assets and liabilities.
The Company’s senior notes and borrowings under its 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 dates indicated:

(1)     The carrying values of the amounts outstanding under OpCo’s 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 as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair values are determined using quoted market prices for these debt securities, a Level 1 classification in the fair value hierarchy, and are based on the aggregate principal amount of the senior notes outstanding.
(3)    The Convertible Senior Notes are subject to certain conditions that allow them to be convertible prior to their maturity and as of September 30, 2023, noteholders had the right to convert during the third quarter of 2023. The Company has Capped Call Transactions that cover the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that underlie the Convertible Senior Notes and would offset any cash payment OpCo is required to make in excess of the principal amount of these notes. Refer to Note 4—Long-Term Debt for additional information on the Convertible Senior Notes and associated Capped Call Transactions.
Note 9—Shareholders’ Equity and Noncontrolling Interest
Stock Conversion
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, certain legacy owners of Colgate exchanged 49.1 million of their Common Units of OpCo and corresponding shares of Class C Common Stock for Class A Common Stock. A deferred tax asset of $16.6 million was recorded in equity as a result of the conversion of shares from the noncontrolling interest owner. No cash proceeds were received by the Company in connection with the conversions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share of Class A Common Stock and a quarterly cash distribution of $0.05 per Common Unit (each of which has an underlying share of Class C Common Stock) during each of the first three quarters of 2023. Additionally, during the second and third quarters of 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a variable cash dividend of $0.05 per share of Class A Common Stock and a quarterly variable cash distribution of $0.05 per Common Unit of OpCo. The cash dividends and distributions paid totaled $143.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Stock Repurchase Program
The Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $500 million of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (the “Repurchase Program”), which was approved to run through December 31, 2024. The Repurchase Program can be used by the Company to reduce its shares of Class A Common Stock and Class C 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, 2023, the Company paid $57.3 million to repurchase 5.0 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.
Noncontrolling Interest
The noncontrolling interest relates to Common Units that were issued in connection with the Colgate Merger. At the date of the Colgate Merger, the noncontrolling interest represented approximately 48% of the ownership in OpCo. The noncontrolling interest percentage is affected by various equity transactions such as Common Unit and Class C Common Stock exchanges and transactions involving Class A Common Stock.
As of September 30, 2023, the noncontrolling interest ownership of OpCo had decreased to 38% from 48% as of December 31, 2022. This decrease was mainly the result of (i) exchanges of Common Units (and corresponding shares of Class C Common Stock) for Class A Common Stock and (ii) Class C Common Stock repurchases completed by the Company as discussed above.
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 period.
Note 10—Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Class A Common stock by the weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average shares of diluted Class A Common Stock outstanding, which includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities for the diluted EPS calculation consists of (i) unvested equity-based restricted stock and performance stock units, outstanding stock options, withholding amounts from the employee stock purchase plan (prior to its discontinuation in January 2023), all using the treasury stock method; (ii) equity-based restricted stock and performance stock units that were vested but not outstanding, using the treasury stock method; and (iii) the Company’s Class C Common Stock and potential shares issuable under our Convertible Senior Notes, both using the “if-converted” method, which is net of tax.

Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
The Company routinely enters into, extends or amends operating agreements in the ordinary course of business. Other than the ground lease agreement the Company entered into during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, discussed in Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, there have been no other material, non-routine changes in commitments during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Please refer to Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies included in Part II, Item 8 in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report.
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, other than those discussed below, that are reasonably possible to occur will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In February 2021, the Permian Basin was impacted by record-low temperatures and a severe winter storm (“Winter Storm Uri”) that resulted in multi-day electrical outages and shortages, pipeline and infrastructure freezes, transportation disruptions, and regulatory actions in Texas, which led to significant increases in gas prices, gathering, processing and transportation fees and electrical rates during this time. As a result, many oil and gas operators, including upstream producers like the Company, gas processors and purchasers, and transportation providers experienced operational disruptions. During this time, the Company was unable to utilize the entire volume of its reserved capacity on pipelines and as a result has made certain force majeure declarations. One third-party transportation provider has filed a lawsuit against the Company claiming compensation for the full amount of the reserved capacity, both utilized and unutilized. The Company has made a payment for the utilized capacity and filed a separate lawsuit against the transportation provider requesting declaratory relief for the purpose of construing the provisions of the transportation agreement relating to the unutilized capacity. At this time, the Company believes that a loss is reasonably possible in relation to these matters, and such amount could range from zero to $7.6 million, which may be subject to additional interest charges, and no amount in that range is a better estimate than any other.
Other than the matter above, 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 13—Revenues
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Crude oil, natural gas and NGL sales are recognized at the point that control of the product is transferred to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Virtually 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 spot market and quality differentials. As a result, the Company’s realized prices of oil, natural gas, and NGLs fluctuate to remain competitive with other available oil, natural gas, and NGLs supplies both globally (in the case of crude oil) and locally.
Oil and gas revenues presented within the consolidated statements of operations relate to the sale of oil, natural gas and NGLs as shown below:

PERMIAN RESOURCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

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.
Natural gas and NGL 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 residue gas or NGL product “in-kind” at the plant tailgate, fees incurred prior to transfer of control are presented as GP&T within the consolidated statements of operations. Where the Company does not take its residue gas or NGL 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 natural gas and NGL sales revenues presented in the table above. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the majority of the Company’s contracts with customers have elections to not take its products “in-kind” resulting in more fees being shown as a net reduction to revenues as discussed 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 natural gas and NGL 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, such receivable balances were $214.3 million and $206.3 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, 2023 and 2022, revenue recognized in the reporting period related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods were not material.
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations
For the Company’s product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC Topic 606, Revenue from contracts with Customers, which states the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these sales contracts, monthly sales of a product generally represent a separate performance obligation. Therefore, future commodity volumes to be delivered and sold are wholly unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to such unsatisfied performance obligations is not required.
Note 14—Subsequent Events
Dividends Declared
On November 7, 2023, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share of Class A Common Stock and a quarterly cash distribution of $0.05 per Common Unit of OpCo. Additionally, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a variable cash dividend of $0.07 per share of Class A Common Stock and a quarterly variable cash distribution of $0.07 per Common Unit of OpCo. The base and variable dividend represent a total return of $0.12 per share. The dividends are payable on November 28, 2023 to shareholders of record as of November 20, 2023.
Earthstone Merger
On November 1, 2023 the Earthstone Merger was completed. Refer to Note 2—Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information regarding the Earthstone Merger.

Overview
Permian Resources Corporation is an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the responsible acquisition, optimization and development of high-return oil and natural gas properties. Our assets are located 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 in an environmentally and socially responsible way, 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”).
On September 1, 2022, we completed the Colgate merger (the “Colgate Merger”) with Colgate Energy Partners III, LLC (“Colgate”). Colgate’s results of operations were included in our financial statements and results of operations beginning on September 1, 2022.
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, natural gas and NGLs have experienced significant fluctuations in recent years and may continue to fluctuate widely in the future.
Immediately following the COVID-19 pandemic, global oil supply was limited by production curtailment agreements among the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil producing countries (“OPEC+”), in addition to overall reduced drilling and completion activity from U.S. producers. As global economies have reopened, demand for oil and gas has risen steadily post-pandemic and has been positively impacted by a global-wide transition away from coal to natural gas. The aforementioned factors, among others, led to heightened commodity prices during certain time periods of 2022, particularly during the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Specifically, NYMEX WTI spot prices for crude oil reached a high of $123.70 per barrel on March 8, 2022 and the NYMEX Henry Hub index price for natural gas reached a high of $9.85 per MMBtu on August 23, 2022. Subsequently, governments from several countries coordinated a simultaneous release of a portion of their strategic petroleum reserves, which increased global oil inventories to near normalized levels. In response, OPEC+ announced an agreement to curtail production by approximately two million barrels per day. Despite OPEC+’s largest production cut since the pandemic, crude oil prices continued to fall from their peak in mid-2022 due in part to government-coordinated petroleum releases, in addition to global recession concerns, a high interest rate environment, lower than expected demand from China and a regional banking crisis in the U.S. Year-to-date, OPEC+ has undertaken a series of actions, in an effort to support commodity prices. In April 2023, OPEC+ announced further production cuts, which were later extended. In addition, both Saudi Arabia and Russia announced unilateral production curtailments at separate times during 2023. These actions, coupled with relatively strong global demand and recent tensions in the Middle East, caused crude oil prices to increase during the third quarter, with NYMEX WTI spot prices reaching a high of $91.71 per barrel on September 28, 2023. Furthermore, global economic growth and geopolitical events such as those discussed above, may cause oil and gas prices to fluctuate significantly in the future.
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, federal and state government regulations, weather conditions, the global transition to alternative energy sources, supply chain constraints and other factors. The following table highlights the quarterly average NYMEX price trends for crude oil and natural gas since the first quarter of 2021:

2021 2022 2023
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2
Q3
Crude oil (per Bbl) $ 57.84  $ 66.06  $ 70.56  $ 77.09  $ 94.40  $ 108.34  $ 91.56  $ 82.64  $ 76.13  $ 73.78  $ 82.26 
Natural gas (per MMBtu) $ 3.44  $ 2.88  $ 4.28  $ 4.74  $ 4.60  $ 7.39  $ 7.96  $ 5.55  $ 2.67  $ 2.12  $ 2.58 
Lower commodity prices and lower futures curves for oil and gas prices can result in impairments of our proved oil and natural 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, which could in turn impact our ability to comply with covenants under our five-year secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) and senior notes. Lower realized prices may also reduce the borrowing base under OpCo’s Credit Agreement, which is determined at the discretion of the lenders and is based on the collateral value of our proved reserves that have been mortgaged to the lenders. Upon a redetermination, if any borrowings in excess of the revised borrowing capacity were outstanding, we could be forced to immediately repay a portion of the debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
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. As commodity prices rise, costs of oilfield goods and services generally also increase; however, during periods of commodity price declines, oilfield costs typically lag and do not adjust downward as fast as oil prices do. In addition, the U.S. inflation rate has been steadily increasing during 2022 and 2023. These inflationary pressures 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.
2023 Highlights and Future Considerations
Earthstone Merger
On August 21, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“the Merger Agreement”) with Earthstone Energy, Inc. (“Earthstone”) pursuant to which Permian Resources acquired Earthstone (the “Earthstone Merger”). On November 1, 2023 the Earthstone Merger was completed and we issued 161.0 million shares of our Class A Common Stock and 49.5 million shares of our Class C Common Stock to Earthstone stockholders under the terms of the Merger Agreement, and we also assumed Earthstone’s debt upon closing of the Merger, which consisted of $1.05 billion of senior notes and all borrowings outstanding under its credit facility at closing. Based on the closing price of our Class A Common Stock on the closing date of the Merger, November 1, 2023, the preliminary value of the share consideration was approximately $3.0 billion.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement (i) each share of Earthstone Class A Common Stock was converted into 1.446 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Permian Resources Class A Common Stock, (ii) each share of Earthstone Class B Common Stock was converted into 1.446 shares of Permian Resources Class C Common Stock, (iii) each common unit of Earthstone Energy Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of Earthstone (“Earthstone OpCo”) representing limited liability company membership interests in Earthstone OpCo were converted into common units of OpCo (“Common Unit”), equal to the Exchange Ratio, and (iv) all existing shares of Permian Resources Common Stock remained outstanding.
Upon the successful closing of the Earthstone Merger, we acquired approximately 223,000 net leasehold acres in the Permian Basin, we increased our acreage position to over 400,000 net acres, and our production will aggregate approximately 300,000 Boe per day. We believe that the Earthstone Merger will drive accretion across our key financial and operating metrics over the long term, enhance our shareholder returns, improve capital efficiency, add significant core inventory and provide increased acreage to our position in the Permian Basin.
Although this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was filed after the completion of the Earthstone Merger, information set forth herein only relates to the results of operations for Permian Resources for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and does not include any operational or financial information for Earthstone for such periods.
2023 Bolt-On Acquisition
On February 16, 2023, we completed an acquisition of approximately 4,000 net leasehold acres and 3,300 net royalty acres for an unadjusted purchase price of $98 million. The acquired assets consist largely of undeveloped acreage that is contiguous to one of our existing core acreage blocks in Lea County, New Mexico.
2023 SWD Divestiture
On March 13, 2023, we completed the sale of our operated saltwater disposal wells and the associated produced water infrastructure in Reeves County, Texas. The total cash consideration received at closing was $125 million, of which $65 million was directly related to the sale and transfer of control of our water assets, while the remaining $60 million consisted of contingent consideration that is tied to our future drilling, completion and water connection activity in Reeves County, Texas. The proceeds from the divestiture were used to fund the bolt-on acquisition discussed above and pay down additional borrowings under our credit facility.
38

Return of Capital Program
During each of the first three quarters of 2023, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share of Class A Common Stock and a quarterly cash distribution of $0.05 per Common Unit of OpCo (each of which has an underlying share of Class C Common Stock). Additionally, during the second and third quarters of 2023, our Board of Directors declared a variable cash dividend of $0.05 per share of Class A Common Stock and a variable cash distribution of $0.05 per Common Unit of OpCo. The cash dividends and distributions paid totaled $143.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
During the first and third quarters of 2023, we paid in aggregate $57.3 million to repurchase a total of 5.0 million Common Units of OpCo resulting in an equal number of the underlying shares of Class C Common Stock simultaneously being canceled under our stock repurchase program.
Financing
On September 12, 2023, we issued $500.0 million of 7.00% senior notes due 2032 (the “2032 Senior Notes”) in a 144A private placement that resulted in net proceeds of $491.9 million, after deducting $8.1 million of debt issuance costs. The 2032 Senior Notes were issued at par with the net proceeds being used to repay debt outstanding under our credit facility, including amounts assumed in connection with the closing of the Earthstone Merger.
On September 1, 2023, we entered into the fourth and fifth amendments to the Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment” and the “Fifth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment expanded the waiver of the automatic reduction of the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement to, among other things, allow for the assumption (or the issuance, in certain circumstances) of up to $1.05 billion principal amount of Permitted Senior Unsecured Notes (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to refinance debt that may be assumed pursuant to the Earthstone Merger and otherwise allow for the issuance of Permitted Senior Unsecured Notes up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion. The Fifth Amendment, among other things, waives compliance with certain restrictive covenants to enable the Earthstone Merger, subject to customary conditions. In addition, the Fifth Amendment increases the aggregate elected commitments from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion. The Fifth Amendment is effective as of the closing date of the Earthstone Merger on November 1, 2023.

Oil, Natural Gas and NGL Sales Revenues. Total net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $208.8 million (or 38%) higher than total net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Revenues are a function of oil, natural gas and NGL volumes sold and average commodity prices realized.
Net production volumes for oil, natural gas and NGLs increased 85%, 83% and 97%, respectively, between periods. The increase in oil production resulted from placing 160 wells online since the third quarter of 2022 as compared to 67 wells brought online since the third quarter of 2021. Oil production also benefited from wells acquired in the Colgate Merger, which added 1,436 MBbls of net oil production for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 942 MBbls of net oil production to the three months ended September 30, 2022. These oil volume increases were partially offset by normal production decline across our existing wells. Natural gas and NGLs are produced concurrently with our crude oil volumes, which typically results in a high correlation between fluctuations in oil quantities sold and natural gas and NGL quantities sold driving the 83% and 97% respective increases in gas and NGL volumes between periods. Additionally, certain primary processors of our raw gas operated in full ethane-recovery mode during the third quarter of 2023, as compared to operating in partial ethane-recovery mode during the 2022 period, which resulted in a lower percentage of natural gas volumes and a higher percentage of NGLs being recovered from our wet gas stream during the 2023 period.
These increases were partially offset by decreases in the average realized sales prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs, which decreased 10%, 71% and 35%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same 2022 period. The 10% decrease in the average realized oil price was mainly the result of 10% lower NYMEX crude prices between periods. The average realized sales price of natural gas decreased 71% mainly due to 68% lower average NYMEX gas prices between periods as well as a larger proportional gas differential in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same 2022 period. The 35% decrease in average realized NGL prices between periods was primarily attributable to lower Mont Belvieu spot prices for plant products in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the third quarter of 2022. The market prices for oil and natural gas have been impacted by global supply and demand constraints for oil and gas throughout 2022 and 2023 as discussed in the market conditions section above.
Operating Expenses. The following table sets forth selected operating expense data for the periods indicated:
Three Months Ended September 30, Increase/(Decrease)
2023 2022 Change %
Operating costs (in thousands):
Lease operating expenses $ 85,810  $ 40,944  $ 44,866  110  %
Severance and ad valorem taxes 58,942  41,745  17,197  41  %
Gathering, processing and transportation expenses 20,731  30,022  (9,291) (31) %
Operating cost metrics:
Lease operating expenses (per Boe) $ 5.42  $ 4.84  $ 0.58  12  %
Severance and ad valorem taxes (% of revenue) 7.8  % 7.6  % 0.2  % %
Gathering, processing and transportation expenses (per Boe) $ 1.31  $ 3.55  $ (2.24) (63) %
Lease Operating Expenses. Lease operating expenses (“LOE”) for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased $44.9 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Higher LOE for the third quarter of 2023 was primarily related to (i) additional costs associated with the 309 gross operated horizontal wells acquired in the Colgate Merger on September 1, 2022, that operated for three months during the third quarter of 2023 compared to one month during the third quarter of 2022; and (ii) higher fixed and semi-variable well costs, such as water disposal, monthly equipment rentals, repair work, electricity, wellhead chemical costs and labor, which all stemmed from the new wells drilled and their associated production increase between periods.
LOE per Boe was $5.42 for the third quarter of 2023, which represents an increase of $0.58 per Boe (or 12%) from the third quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily driven by higher water disposal rates between periods, resulting from the sale of our operated saltwater disposal wells and associated produced water infrastructure in March 2023 (see Note 2—Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information on this divestiture).
Severance and Ad Valorem Taxes. Severance and ad valorem taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased $17.2 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Severance taxes are based on the market value of our oil and gas production at the wellhead, while ad valorem taxes are generally based on the assessed taxable value of proved developed oil and gas properties and vary across the different counties in which we operate. Severance taxes for the third quarter of 2023 increased $12.6 million compared to the same 2022 period primarily due to higher oil, natural gas and NGL revenues between periods. Ad valorem taxes likewise increased between periods but by $4.6 million, mainly due to higher tax assessment rates on our oil and gas reserve values. Additionally, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 we incurred three months of ad valorem taxes on the proved developed properties acquired in the Colgate Merger on September 1, 2022, as compared to one month of Colgate’s ad valorem taxes during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
41

Severance and ad valorem taxes as a percentage of total net revenues increased to 7.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to 7.6% for the same prior year quarter. This slight increase in rate was the result of higher ad valorem taxes as discussed above, as well as net revenues being driven lower by a large portion of our GP&T costs being deducted from gas and NGL revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease in net revenues resulted in severance and ad valorem taxes as a percentage of total net revenues to increase period over period. Refer to Note 13—Revenues for additional information on our natural gas gathering and processing contracts.
Gathering, Processing and Transportation Expenses. GP&T for the three months ended September 30, 2023 decreased $9.3 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, GP&T decreased on a per Boe basis from $3.55 for the third quarter of 2022 to $1.31 for the third quarter of 2023. This decrease is due to the majority of our GP&T costs being recognized as a reduction to our gas and NGL revenues in the third quarter of 2023, while 100% of our GP&T costs were recognized as GP&T expense in the prior year period. This change in GP&T costs classification is required under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from contracts with Customers, due to the majority of gas processing contracts acquired in the Colgate Merger, as well as two of our existing gas processing contracts that were amended and went into effect in November 2022, transferring control of our raw gas at delivery points prior to, or at, the inlet of gas processing plants.

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) 2023

2022
Depreciation, depletion and amortization $ 236,204  $ 109,500 
Depreciation, depletion and amortization per Boe $ 14.93  $ 12.94 
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, DD&A expense amounted to $236.2 million, an increase of $126.7 million over the same 2022 period. The primary factor contributing to higher DD&A expense in 2023 was the increase in our overall production volumes between periods, which increased DD&A expense by $95.2 million, while our higher DD&A rate of $14.93 per BOE increased DD&A expense by $31.5 million between periods.
Our DD&A rate can fluctuate as a result of finding and development costs incurred, acquisitions, impairments, as well as changes in proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves. Our DD&A rate increased $1.99 per Boe between periods due to (i) the finding and development rate associated with our successful drilling and completion program over the trailing twelve months and (ii) downward revisions to proved oil and gas reserves since Q3 2022.
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) 2023 2022
Cash general and administrative expenses $ 18,886  $ 15,106 
Stock-based compensation - equity awards 15,633  48,197 
Stock-based compensation - liability awards —  (29,301)
Stock-based compensation - cash settled awards —  9,385 
General and administrative expenses $ 34,519  $ 43,387 
42

G&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $34.5 million compared to $43.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Lower G&A in the third quarter of 2023 was mainly the result of a $12.6 million decrease in total stock-based compensation between periods. This decrease was the result of (i) a decrease of $9.4 million in stock-based compensation related to awards that were fully vested and settled in cash during the third quarter of 2022 with no such settlements occurring in the 2023 period; (ii) a $2.1 million reduction in stock-based compensation for performance stock units (“PSUs”), mainly related to certain awards that were modified and reclassified from liability to equity during the third quarter of 2022; and (iii) a decrease of $1.1 million in stock-based compensation for the accelerated vesting of certain awards for officer and employee terminations stemming from the Colgate Merger between quarters. Refer to Note 6—Stock-Based Compensation for additional information regarding these awards. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $3.8 million in cash G&A between periods mainly related to (i) higher payroll and employee-related costs associated with our elevated G&A headcount, which increased from a monthly average of 129 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to 179 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 following the Colgate Merger; and (ii) higher professional and legal fees between periods.
Merger and integration expense. Merger and integration expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $10.4 million compared to $59.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This period over period decrease relates to (i) $48.4 million of bankers’ advisory, legal and consultancy fees relating to the closing of the Colgate Merger in the third quarter of 2022; and (ii) $10.1 million in lower severance and related benefits associated with employee terminations that occurred in connection with the Colgate Merger. These decreases were slightly offset by an increase of $9.7 million in legal, consultancy and accounting fees incurred during the third quarter of 2023 associated with the Earthstone Merger.
Exploration and Other Expenses. The following table summarizes our exploration and other expenses for the periods indicated:

Stock-based compensation - equity awards 387  572 
Other expenses 2,512  12 
Exploration and other expenses $ 5,031  $ 2,352 
Exploration and other expenses were $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Exploration and other expenses mainly consist of topographical studies, geographical and geophysical (“G&G”) projects, salaries and expenses of G&G personnel and includes other operating costs. The period over period increase was primarily related to higher G&G costs for seismic studies and G&G personnel costs and $0.6 million in costs incurred in 2023 associated with a nonrecurring legal settlement.

Interest expense increased $11.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to (i) $10.7 million in additional interest costs on the senior notes we assumed in the Colgate Merger; (ii) $3.0 million in higher interest incurred on our Credit Agreement due to additional borrowings outstanding and higher interest rates during the 2023 period; and (iii) $1.8 million in additional interest incurred for the senior notes issued in the third quarter of 2023.
Our weighted average borrowings outstanding under our Credit Agreement were $317.3 million and $263.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our Credit Agreement’s weighted average effective interest rate increased to 7.4% from 4.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, due to higher rates on our variable-rate borrowings between periods.
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.

$ 114,583  $ 374,673 
Income tax (expense) benefit
(16,254) (31,169)
Our provisions for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 differs from the amounts that would be provided by applying the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% to pre-tax book income (loss) primarily due to (i) the portion of pre-tax net income that is attributable to our non-controlling interest and which is therefore not taxable to the Company; (ii) other permanent differences; (iii) state income taxes; and (iv) changes during the period in our deferred tax asset valuation allowance, if any.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we generated pre-tax net income of $114.6 million and recorded income tax expense of $16.3 million. The primary factor decreasing our income tax expense below the U.S. statutory rate was the portion of pre-tax income that was attributable to our non-controlling interest partners and not taxable to the Company.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we generated pre-tax net income of $374.7 million and recorded income tax expense of $31.2 million. The primary factors decreasing our income tax expense below the U.S. statutory rate was (i) the portion of pre-tax income that was attributable to our non-controlling interest partners and (ii) the partial release of our deferred tax valuation allowance due to the generation of net income.

Oil, Natural Gas and NGL Sales Revenues. Total net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $628.5 million, or 46%, higher than total net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Revenues are a function of oil, natural gas and NGL volumes sold and average commodity prices realized.
Net production volumes for oil, natural gas, and NGLs increased 114%, 114%, and 144%, respectively, between periods. The oil production volume increase resulted from placing 160 wells online production since the third quarter of 2022 as compared to 67 wells brought online since the third quarter of 2021. Oil production in the current period also benefited from wells acquired in the Merger with Colgate, which added 4,911 MBbls of net oil production for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the 942 MBbls of net oil production for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 These oil volume increases were partially offset by normal production declines across our existing wells. Natural gas and NGLs are produced concurrently with our crude oil volumes, typically resulting in a high correlation between fluctuations in oil quantities sold and natural gas and NGL quantities sold driving the 114% and 144%, respective, increase in gas and NGL volumes between periods. Additionally, certain primary processors of our raw gas operated in higher ethane-recovery mode during the first nine months of 2023 as compared to the 2022 period, which resulted in a lower percentage of natural gas volumes and a higher percentage of NGLs being recovered from our wet gas stream during the 2023 period.
These increases were partially offset by decreases in the average realized sales prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs, which decreased 20%, 71%, and 44%, respectively, in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same 2022 period. The 20% decrease in the average realized oil price was mainly the result of 21% lower NYMEX crude prices between periods, slightly offset by improved oil differentials. The average realized sales price of natural gas decreased 71% due to 63% lower average NYMEX gas prices between periods as well as a larger proportional gas differential in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same 2022 period. The 44% decrease in average realized NGL prices between periods was primarily attributable to lower Mont Belvieu spot prices for plant products for the first nine months of 2023 as compared to the first nine months of 2022. The market prices for oil and natural gas have been impacted by global supply and demand constraints for oil and gas throughout 2022 and 2023 as discussed in the market conditions section above.
Operating Expenses. The following table summarizes our operating expenses for the periods indicated:

Gathering, processing and transportation expenses (per Boe) $ 1.30  $ 3.81  $ (2.51) (66) %
Lease Operating Expenses. LOE for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased $144.8 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Higher LOE for the first nine months of 2023 was primarily related to (i) additional costs associated with the 309 gross operated horizontal wells acquired in the Colgate Merger on September 1, 2022 that operated for the entire period during the first nine months of 2023 compared to one month for the first nine months of 2022; and (ii) higher fixed and semi-variable well costs, such as water disposal, monthly equipment rentals, repair work, wellhead chemical costs, labor, and electricity that all stemmed from new wells drilled and the associated production increase between periods.
LOE per Boe was $5.44 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which represents an increase of $0.60 per Boe (or 12%) from the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by per Boe increases associated with higher water disposal rates between periods, resulting from the sale of our operated saltwater disposal wells and associated produced water infrastructure in March 2023 (see Note 2—Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information on the divestiture).
Severance and Ad Valorem Taxes. Severance and ad valorem taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased $54.9 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. 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 2023 increased $38.3 million compared to the same 2022 period primarily due to higher oil, natural gas and NGL revenues between periods. Ad valorem taxes likewise increased between periods but by $16.6 million due to higher tax assessments on our oil and gas reserve values. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 we incurred nine months of ad valorem taxes on the proved developed properties acquired in the Colgate Merger on September 1, 2022 as compared to one month of Colgate’s ad valorem taxes during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
46

Severance and ad valorem taxes as a percentage of total net revenues increased to 7.8% for the first nine months of 2023 as compared to 7.4% for the same 2022 period. This increase in rate was the result of higher ad valorem taxes as discussed above, as well as net revenues being driven lower by a large portion of our GP&T costs being deducted from gas and NGL revenues during the first nine months of 2023 compared to the first nine months of 2022. This decrease in net revenues resulted in severance and ad valorem taxes as a percentage of total net revenues to increase period over period. Refer to Note 13—Revenues for additional information on our natural gas gathering and processing contracts.
Gathering, Processing and Transportation Expenses. GP&T for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased $19.7 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, GP&T decreased on a per Boe basis from $3.81 for the first nine months of 2022 to $1.30 for the same 2023 period. This decrease is due to the majority of our GP&T costs being recognized as a reduction to our gas and NGL revenues in the first nine months of 2023, while 100% of our GP&T costs were recognized as GP&T expense in the prior year period. This change in GP&T costs classification is required under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from contracts with Customers, due to the majority of gas processing contracts acquired in the Colgate Merger, as well as one of our existing processing contracts that were amended and went into effect in November 2022, transferring control of our raw gas at delivery points prior to, or at, the inlet of gas processing plants. Refer to Note 13—Revenues for additional information on our natural gas gathering and processing contracts.
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) 2023 2022
Depreciation, depletion and amortization $ 640,149  $ 262,626 
Depreciation, depletion and amortization per Boe $ 14.30  $ 12.89 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, DD&A expense amounted to $640.1 million, an increase of $377.5 million over the same 2022 period. The primary factor contributing to higher DD&A expense in 2023 was the increase in our overall production volumes between periods, which increased DD&A expense by $314.2 million during the first nine months of 2023, while higher DD&A rates between periods increased DD&A expense by $63.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Our DD&A rate can fluctuate as a result of finding and development costs incurred, acquisitions, impairments, as well as changes in proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves. Our DD&A rate increased $1.41 per Boe between periods due to (i) the finding and development rate associated with our successful drilling and completion program over the trailing twelve months and (ii) downward revisions to proved oil and gas reserves since Q3 2022.
General and Administrative Expenses. The following table summarizes our G&A expenses for the periods indicated:
Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands) 2023

2022
Cash general and administrative expenses $ 55,347  $ 39,309 
Stock-based compensation expense - equity awards 67,382  59,417 
Stock-based compensation expense - liability awards —  (24,174)
Stock-based compensation expense - cash settled awards —  9,385 
General and administrative expenses $ 122,729  $ 83,937 
G&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $122.7 million compared to $83.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Higher G&A for the first nine months of 2023 was the result of a $22.8 million increase in total stock-based compensation expense between periods. This increase was largely due to (i) a $24.2 million increase in stock-based compensation related to liability classified awards that were settled or reclassified as equity in 2022 (we no longer have any liability based equity awards outstanding); and (ii) an increase of $8.0 million in equity awards compensation costs associated with the acceleration of certain awards during the first nine months of 2023 for officer and employee exits stemming from the Colgate Merger. This was partially offset by a decrease of $9.4 million related to stock-based compensation awards that were fully vested and settled in cash during nine months ended September 30, 2022 with no such settlements occurring in the 2023 period. Refer to Note 6—Stock-Based Compensation for additional information regarding these awards. Additionally, cash G&A increased $16.0 million between periods. This increase was mainly related to (i) higher payroll and employee-related costs associated with our G&A headcount, which increased from a year to date monthly average of 115 as of September 30, 2022 to 171 as of September 30, 2023 stemming from the 2022 Colgate Merger; (ii) higher professional and legal fees between periods; and (iii) higher rent and office expenses between periods associated with the higher headcount.
47

Merger and integration expense. Merger and integration expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $28.1 million compared to $65.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This period over period decrease relates to $50.2 million in bankers’ advisory, legal and consultancy fees relating to the closing of the Colgate Merger during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was slightly offset by (i) an increase of $9.7 million in legal, consultancy and accounting fees incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 associated with the Earthstone Merger; and (ii) $3.7 million in higher severance and related benefits associated with employee terminations that occurred in connection with the Colgate Merger.
Impairment and Abandonment Expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, impairment and abandonment expense was $0.7 million as compared to $3.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Both periods consist solely of amortization of leasehold expiration costs associated with individually insignificant unproved properties.

Exploration and other expenses $ 14,668  $ 6,613 
Exploration and other expenses were $14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $6.6 million for the same prior year period. Exploration and other expenses mainly consist of topographical studies, G&G projects, salaries and expenses of G&G personnel and includes other operating costs. The period over period increase was primarily related to (i) $1.8 million in increased costs incurred on G&G projects and seismic studies; (ii) $1.5 million in costs incurred in 2023 associated with nonrecurring legal settlements; (iii) $1.5 million in higher G&G personnel costs associated with increased headcount; and (iv) $0.6 million in higher stock-based compensation related to accelerated vesting of employees terminated in connection with the Colgate Merger.

Interest expense was $57.9 million higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same 2022 period mainly due to (i) $42.9 million in additional interest costs on the senior notes we assumed in the Colgate Merger; and (ii) $17.5 million higher interest incurred on our Credit Agreement due to additional borrowings outstanding and higher interest rates during the 2023 period.
Our weighted average borrowings outstanding under our Credit Agreement were $380.5 million versus $99.8 million for the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our Credit Agreement’s weighted average effective interest rate was 7.0% and 3.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, due to higher rates on our variable-rate borrowings between periods.

(77,056) (79,432)
Our provisions for income taxes for the first nine months of 2023 and 2022 differs from the amounts that would be provided by applying the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% to pre-tax book income (loss) primarily due to (i) the portion of pre-tax net income that is attributable to our non-controlling interest and which is therefore not taxable to the Company; (ii) other permanent differences; (iii) state income taxes; and (iv) any changes during the period in our deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 we generated pre-tax net income of $544.1 million and recorded income tax expense of $77.1 million. The primary factors decreasing our income tax expense below the U.S. statutory rate was the portion of pre-tax income that was attributable to our non-controlling interest partners and not taxable to the Company.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we generated pre-tax net income of $630.6 million and recorded income tax expense of $79.4 million. The primary factors decreasing our income tax expense below the U.S. statutory rate was (i) the portion of pre-tax income that was attributable to our non-controlling interest partners and (ii) the partial release of our deferred tax valuation allowance due to the generation of net income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our drilling and completion activities require us to make significant capital expenditures. Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, proceeds from offerings of debt or equity securities, or proceeds from the sale of oil and gas properties. 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 use of capital has been for drilling and development capital expenditures and the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties.
    We continually evaluate our capital needs and compare them to our capital resources. Our total capital expenditures incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $1.1 billion. We expect our total drilling, completion and facilities capital expenditures budget for 2023 to be between $1.25 billion to $1.45 billion. We funded our capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 entirely from cash flows from operations, and we expect to fund the remainder of our 2023 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.
Because we are the operator of a high percentage of our acreage, we 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: prevailing and anticipated prices for oil and natural gas; oil storage or transportation constraints; the success of our drilling activities; the availability of necessary equipment, infrastructure and capital; the receipt and timing of required regulatory permits and approvals; seasonal conditions; property or land acquisition costs; and the level of participation by other working interest owners.
In August 2023, we announced our merger with Earthstone, and it was completed on November 1, 2023. As a result of the Earthstone Merger, our future operational plans, cash flows and leverage profile, among others things, as a combined entity will change, and such changes will initially include (i) assuming $1.05 billion of Earthstone’s senior notes, (ii) refinancing Earthstone’s credit facility borrowings outstanding at closing with borrowings under our facility, and (iii) funding of transaction costs incurred related to the Earthstone Merger. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2023, we issued $500.0 million of 7.00% 2032 Senior Notes, with the net proceeds being used to repay indebtedness outstanding under our credit facility, including a portion of the debt we assumed upon closing of the Earthstone Merger.
We plan to return capital to shareholders through a combination of base dividends plus a variable return program, including variable dividends, share repurchases or a combination of both. During the first three quarters of 2023, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share of Class A Common Stock and a quarterly cash distribution of $0.05 per Common Unit of OpCo. In addition, during the second and third quarters of 2023, our Board of Directors also declared variable cash dividends of $0.05 per share of Class A Common Stock and variable cash distributions of $0.05 per Common Unit of OpCo. The cash dividends and distributions paid to common unitholders totaled $143.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Additionally, we repurchased 5.0 million shares of Class C Common Stock for $57.3 million under our stock repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
    The 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.
We cannot ensure that cash flows from operations or other sources of needed capital will be available at acceptable terms or at all. Further, 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.

Analysis of Cash Flow Changes
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:
Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands) 2023 2022
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 1,367,505  $ 843,376 
Net cash used in investing activities (1,095,187) (896,438)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities (129,973) 89,194 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we generated $1.4 billion of cash from operating activities, an increase of $524.1 million from the same period in 2022. Cash provided by operating activities increased primarily due to higher production volumes, lower GP&T expenses, higher cash settlements on derivatives and lower merger and integration expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same 2022 period. These increasing factors were partially offset by lower realized prices for all commodities, higher lease operating expenses, severance and ad valorem taxes, and cash G&A expenses as well as the timing of collections on our receivables during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same 2022 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, 2023, cash flows from operating activities, cash on hand, proceeds from the issuance of our 2032 Senior Notes and sales proceeds from divestitures together with contingent consideration of $119.2 million from the sale of oil and natural gas properties were used to: fund $1.1 billion of drilling and development cash expenditures; repay net borrowings of $385 million under our Credit Agreement; pay $143.1 million in dividends and cash distributions to holders of our Common Units; fund acquisitions of oil and gas properties of $116.9 million; repurchase $57.3 million of our common stock; and purchase an office building in Midland, Texas for $27.5 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash flows from operating activities and net borrowings under our revolving credit facility were used to finance $496.7 million of net cash consideration paid for the Colgate Merger, fund $397.9 million of drilling and development cash expenditures and repay $400.0 million of borrowings outstanding from Colgate’s credit facility that were assumed at closing.
Credit Agreement
OpCo, our consolidated subsidiary, has a Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks that provides for a five-year secured revolving credit facility, maturing in February 2027 that as of September 30, 2023, had a borrowing base of $2.5 billion and elected commitments of $1.5 billion. The borrowing base will be redetermined by the lenders in their sole discretion during the fourth quarter of 2023 following the close of the Earthstone Merger and will include the increase in quantities of OpCo’s proved oil and natural gas reserves at that time. As of September 30, 2023, we had no borrowings outstanding and $1.5 billion in available borrowing capacity, net of $5.8 million in letters of credit outstanding.
On September 1, 2023, we entered into the fourth and fifth amendments to the Credit Agreement. The Fourth Amendment expanded the waiver of the automatic reduction of the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement to, among other things, allow for the assumption (or the issuance, in certain circumstances) of up to $1.05 billion principal amount of Permitted Senior Unsecured Notes (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to refinance debt that may be assumed pursuant to the Earthstone Merger and otherwise allow for the issuance of Permitted Senior Unsecured Notes up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion. The Fifth Amendment, among other things, waives compliance with certain restrictive covenants to enable the Earthstone Merger, subject to customary conditions. In addition, the Fifth Amendment increases the aggregate elected commitments from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion. The Fifth Amendment is subject to and effective as of the closing date of the Earthstone Merger on November 1, 2023.
The Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants that limit our ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) make investments and loans; (iii) enter into mergers; (iv) make restricted payments; (v) repurchase or redeem junior debt; (vi) enter into commodity hedges exceeding a specified percentage of our expected production; (vii) enter into interest rate hedges exceeding a specified percentage of its outstanding indebtedness; (viii) incur liens; (ix) sell assets; and (x) engage in transactions with affiliates.
The Credit Agreement also requires OpCo to maintain compliance with the following financial ratios:
(i) a current ratio, which is the ratio of OpCo’s consolidated current assets (including an add back of unused commitments under the revolving credit facility and excluding non-cash derivative assets and certain restricted cash) to its consolidated current liabilities (excluding the current portion of long-term debt under the Credit Agreement and non-cash derivative liabilities), of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; and
(ii) a leverage ratio, as defined within the Credit Agreement as the ratio of total funded debt to consolidated EBITDAX (as defined within the Credit Agreement) for the most recent quarter annualized, of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0.
51

The Credit Agreement includes fall away covenants, lower interest rates and reduced collateral requirements that OpCo may elect if OpCo is assigned an Investment Grade Rating (as defined within the Credit Agreement). OpCo was in compliance with the covenants and the applicable financial ratios described above as of September 30, 2023 and through the filing of this Quarterly Report. For further information on the Credit Agreement, refer to Note 4—Long-Term Debt under Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report.
Convertible Senior Notes
On March 19, 2021, OpCo issued $150.0 million of 3.25% senior unsecured convertible notes due 2028 (the “Convertible Senior Notes”). On March 26, 2021, OpCo issued an additional $20.0 million of Convertible Senior Notes pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase additional notes. These issuances resulted in aggregate net proceeds to OpCo of $163.6 million, which were used to repay borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and to fund the cost of entering into capped call spread transactions of $14.7 million. Subsequently in April 2021, we redeemed at par all of our Senior Secured Notes (defined below), which was the intended use of proceeds from the Convertible Senior Notes offering.
The Convertible Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and each of OpCo’s current subsidiaries that guarantee OpCo’s outstanding Senior Unsecured Notes as defined below.
The Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 3.25% and are due on April 1, 2028 unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The Convertible Senior Notes may become convertible prior to April 1, 2028, upon the occurrence of certain events or conditions being met as disclosed in Note 4—Long-Term Debt under Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report. OpCo can settle the Convertible Senior Notes by paying or delivering cash, shares of the Class A Common Stock, or a combination of cash and Class A Common Stock, at OpCo’s election.
In connection with the Convertible Senior Notes issuance, OpCo entered into privately negotiated capped call spread transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”), that are expected to reduce potential dilution to our Class A Common Stock upon a conversion and/or offset any cash payments OpCo is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes, subject to a cap. The Capped Call Transactions have an initial strike price of $6.28 per share of Class A Common Stock and an initial capped price of $8.4525 per share of Class A Common Stock (each subject to certain customary adjustments).
Senior Notes
On September 12, 2023, OpCo issued $500.0 million of 7.00% Senior Notes due 2032 in a 144A private placement at par that resulted in net proceeds to OpCo of $491.9 million, after deducting $8.1 million debt issuance costs. Interest is payable on the 2032 Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears each January 15 and July 15.
On September 1, 2022, in connection with the Colgate Merger, OpCo entered into supplemental indentures whereby all of Colgate’s outstanding senior notes were assumed at the Colgate Merger closing date and became the senior unsecured debt of OpCo. The senior notes assumed by OpCo included $300 million of 7.75% senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 7.75% Senior Notes”) and $700 million of 5.875% senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”). We recorded the acquired senior notes at their fair value as of the Colgate Merger closing, which were equal to 100% of par for the 2026 7.75% Senior Notes and 93.68% of par (a $49.3 million debt discount) for the 2029 Senior Notes.
On November 30, 2017, OpCo issued $400.0 million of 5.375% senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 5.375% Senior Notes”) and on March 15, 2019, OpCo issued $500.0 million of 6.875% senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Senior Notes” and, together with the 2032 Senior Notes, the 2026 5.375% Senior Notes, the 2029 Senior Notes and the 2026 7.75% Senior Notes, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) in 144A private placements. In May 2020, $110.6 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 5.375% Senior Notes and $143.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Senior Notes were validly tendered and exchanged by certain eligible bondholders for consideration consisting of $127.1 million aggregate principal amount of 8.00% second lien senior secured notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”). The Senior Secured Notes were fully redeemed at par in connection with the Convertible Senior Notes issuance during the second quarter of 2021.
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 OpCo’s Credit Agreement.
The indentures governing the Senior Unsecured Notes contain covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, limit OpCo’s ability and the ability of OpCo’s restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain types of preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; (iii) transfer or sell assets; (iv) make investments; (v) create certain liens; (vi) enter into agreements that restrict dividends or other payments from their subsidiaries to them; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of their assets; (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates; and (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries. OpCo was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2023 and through the filing of this Quarterly Report.

For further information on our Convertible Senior Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes, refer to Note 4—Long-Term Debt under Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report.
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations include operating and transportation agreements, drilling rig contracts, office and equipment leases, asset retirement obligations, long-term debt obligations and cash interest expense on long-term debt obligations, which we routinely enter into, modify or extend. Since December 31, 2022 through September 30. 2023, there have not been any significant, non-routine changes in our contractual obligations other than the ground lease agreement entered into as discussed in Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and the issuance of the 2032 Senior Notes and their related interest obligations discussed in Note 4—Long-Term Debt.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies as disclosed in Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our 2022 Annual Report.
New Accounting Pronouncements
There were no significant new accounting standards adopted or new accounting pronouncements that would have potential effects on us or our financial statements as of September 30, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
    The term “market risk” as it applies to our business refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in oil and natural gas prices and interest rates, and we are exposed to market risk as described below. The primary objective of the following information is to provide quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. All of our market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than speculative trading.
Commodity Price Risk
Our primary market risk exposure is in the pricing that we receive for our oil, natural gas and NGL production. Pricing for oil, natural gas and NGLs has been volatile and unpredictable for several years, and we expect this volatility to continue for the foreseeable future. Based on our production for the first nine months of 2023, our oil and gas sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 would have moved up or down $173.4 million for each 10% change in oil prices per Bbl, $9.4 million for each 10% change in natural gas prices per Mcf, and $17.0 million for each 10% change in NGL prices per Bbl.
Due to this volatility, we have historically used, and we may elect to continue to selectively use, commodity derivative instruments (such as collars, swaps and basis swaps) to mitigate price risk associated with a portion of our anticipated production. Our derivative instruments allow us to reduce, but not eliminate, the potential effects of the variability in cash flows that can emanate from fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices, and thereby provide increased certainty of cash flows for our drilling program and debt service requirements. These instruments provide only partial price protection against declines in oil and natural gas prices, but alternatively they partially limit our potential gains from future increases in prices. Our Credit Agreement limits our ability to enter into commodity hedges covering greater than 85% of our reasonably anticipated projected production from proved properties.
The table below summarizes the terms of the derivative contracts we had in place as of September 30, 2023 and additional contracts entered into through October 31, 2023. Refer to Note 7—Derivative Instruments in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for open derivative positions as of September 30, 2023.

Net fair value of oil and gas derivative contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2023 $ (51,107)
(1)    At inception, new derivative contracts entered into by us have no intrinsic value.
A hypothetical upward or downward shift of 10% per Bbl in the NYMEX forward curve for crude oil as of September 30, 2023 would cause a $109.6 million increase or $109.0 million decrease, respectively, in this fair value position, and a hypothetical upward or downward shift of 10% per MMBtu in the NYMEX forward curve for natural gas as of September 30, 2023 would cause a $3.0 million increase or $3.3 million decrease in this same fair value position.
Interest Rate Risk
Our ability to borrow and the rates offered by lenders can be adversely affected by deteriorations in the credit markets and/or downgrades in our credit rating. OpCo’s Credit Agreement interest rate is based on a SOFR spread, which exposes us to interest rate risk to the extent we have borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2023, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. We do not currently have or intend to enter into any derivative hedge contracts to protect against fluctuations in interest rates applicable to our outstanding indebtedness.
The long-term debt balance of $2.3 billion consists of our senior notes, which have fixed interest rates; therefore, this balance is not affected by interest rate movements. For additional information regarding our debt instruments, see Note 4—Long-Term Debt, in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

In accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2023. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officers and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023 at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Refer to Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for more information regarding our legal proceedings.
Environmental. Due to the nature of the oil and gas industry, we are exposed to environmental risks. We have various policies and procedures to minimize and mitigate the risks from environmental contamination and we conduct periodic reviews to identify changes in our environmental risk profile. Liabilities are recorded when environmental damages resulting from events are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Except as discussed herein, we are not aware of any material environmental claims existing as of September 30, 2023 which have not been provided for or would otherwise have a material impact on our financial statements; however, there can be no assurance that current regulatory requirements will not change or that unknown potential past non-compliance with environmental laws or other environmental liabilities will not be discovered on our properties.
In the third quarter of 2023, we entered into a Stipulated Final Order (the “Order”) to resolve a flaring violation detected by the Oil Conservation Division (“OCD”) in the State of New Mexico. To resolve the alleged violations, the OCD and Permian Resources jointly agreed to the Order, which assessed penalties in the amount of $600,000. We have paid this penalty and implemented programs to meet the requirements of the OCD and are in the process of correcting any identified deficiencies.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in our 2022 Annual Report and the risk factors and other cautionary statements contained in our other SEC filings as well as additional risk factors set forth below. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. Other than with respect to the additional risk factors below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those described in our 2022 Annual Report or our SEC filings.
We may be unable to integrate the business of the Company and Earthstone successfully or realize the anticipated benefits of the Earthstone Merger.
The Earthstone Merger involved the combination of two companies that operated as independent public companies until November 1, 2023. The combination of two independent businesses is complex, costly and time consuming, and we will be required to continue to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the business practices and operations of Earthstone into the Company. Potential difficulties that we may encounter as part of the integration process include the following:
•the inability to successfully combine the business of the Company and Earthstone in a manner that permits the combined company to achieve, on a timely basis, or at all, the enhanced revenue opportunities and cost savings and other benefits anticipated to result from the Earthstone Merger;
58

•complexities associated with managing the combined businesses, including difficulty addressing possible differences in operational philosophies and the challenge of integrating complex systems, technology, networks and other assets of each of the companies in a seamless manner that minimizes any adverse impact on customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies;
•the assumption of contractual obligations with less favorable or more restrictive terms; and
•potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses associated with the Earthstone Merger.
Any of these issues could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies, our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Earthstone Merger, our earnings or our business and financial results following the Earthstone Merger.
The financial forecasts disclosed in connection with the announcement of the Earthstone Merger are based on various assumptions that may not be realized.
The financial estimates disclosed in connection with the announcement of the Earthstone Merger were based on assumptions of, and information available to, our management when prepared, and these estimates and assumptions are subject to uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control and may not be realized. Many factors will be important in determining the Company’s future results following the Earthstone Merger. As a result of these contingencies, actual future results may vary materially from our estimates. In view of these uncertainties, these financial estimates should not be viewed as a representation that the forecasted results will necessarily reflect actual future results.
Our financial estimates were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure, and such financial estimates were not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of any regulatory or professional body. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update the financial estimates to reflect events or circumstances after the date those financial estimates were prepared or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances.
The synergies attributable to the Earthstone Merger may vary from expectations.
We may fail to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies expected from the Earthstone Merger, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The success of the Earthstone Merger will depend, in significant part, on the Company’s ability to successfully integrate the acquired business, grow the revenue of the Company and realize the anticipated strategic benefits and synergies from the acquisition. We believe that the acquisition will provide operational and financial scale, increasing free cash flow and an enhanced corporate rate of return. However, achieving these goals requires, among other things, realization of the targeted cost synergies expected from the Earthstone Merger. This growth and the anticipated benefits of the transaction may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. Actual operating, technological, strategic and revenue opportunities, if achieved at all, may be less significant than expected or may take longer to achieve than anticipated. If we are not able to achieve these objectives and realize the anticipated benefits and synergies expected from the Earthstone Merger within the anticipated timing or at all, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
