"Standardized measure"—Discounted future net cash flows estimated by applying Realized Prices to the estimated future production of year-end proved reserves. Future cash inflows are reduced by estimated future production and development costs based on period end costs to determine pre-tax cash inflows. Future income taxes, if applicable, are computed by applying the statutory tax rate to the excess of pre-tax cash inflows over our tax basis in the oil and natural gas properties. Future net cash inflows after income taxes are discounted using a 10% annual discount rate.
"Undeveloped acreage"—Lease acreage on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil and natural gas regardless of whether such acreage contains proved reserves.
"Wellhead natural gas"—Natural gas produced at or near the well.
"Working interest" or "WI"—The right granted to the lessee of a property to explore for and to produce and own crude oil, natural gas liquids, natural gas or other minerals. The working interest owners bear the exploration, development and operating costs on either a cash, penalty or carried basis.

Condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1—Organization and basis of presentation
Organization
Laredo Petroleum, Inc. ("Laredo"), together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is an independent energy company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties in the Permian Basin of West Texas. The Company has identified 1one operating segment: exploration and production. In these notes, the "Company" refers to Laredo, LMS and GCM collectively, unless the context indicates otherwise. All amounts, dollars and percentages presented in these unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes are rounded and, therefore, approximate.
Basis of presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements were derived from the historical accounting records of the Company and reflect the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods described herein. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. All material intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in the consolidation of accounts.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have not been audited by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, except that the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 is derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all necessary adjustments to present fairly the Company's financial position as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, results of operations for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021 and cash flows for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021. All adjustments are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein.
Certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted from the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2021 Annual Report.
Reclassifications
Certain prior periodpreviously reported 2022 and 2021 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. There was no impact on previously reported total assets, total liabilities, net income (loss) or stockholders' equity for the periods presented.
Significant accounting policies
There have been no material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022. See Note 2 in the 2021 Annual Report for discussion of significant accounting policies.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ.
See Note 2 in the 2021 Annual Report for further information regarding the use of estimates and assumptions.
Note 2—New accounting standards
The Company considered the applicability and impact of all accounting standard updates ("ASU") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board to the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and has determined there are no ASUs that are not yet adopted and meaningful to disclose as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022. Additionally, the Company did not adopt any new ASUs during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022.

2021 Acquisitions and divestiture
Pioneer Acquisition
On September 17, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the "Pioneer PSA") with Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc ("PXD"), DE Midland III, LLC ("DEM"), Parsley Minerals, LLC ("PM") and Parsley Energy, L.P. ("PE" and collectively with PXD, DEM, and PM, the "Seller") pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase (the "Pioneer Acquisition"), effective as of July 1, 2021, certain oil and natural gas properties in the Midland Basin, including approximately 20,000 net acres, and approximately 135 gross (121 net) operated locations, located in western Glasscock County, Texas, as well as related assets and contracts (the "Pioneer Assets").
On October 18, 2021 ("Pioneer Closing Date"), the Company closed the Pioneer Acquisition for an aggregate purchase price of $206.3$210.1 million, comprised of (i) $131.6$135.3 million in cash, (ii) 959,691 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "common stock"), based upon the share price as of the Pioneer Closing Date and (iii) $3.8$3.9 million in transaction related expenses, inclusive of customary closing adjustments, subject to post-closing adjustments.
The Company determined that the Pioneer Acquisition was an asset acquisition, as substantially all of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a group of similar identifiable assets. Accordingly, the consideration paid was allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values and all transaction costs associated were capitalized.
The following table presents components of the purchase price, inclusive of customary closing adjustments:

Unevaluated properties74,19274,468

Allocated purchase price$206,329210,105 
The Company funded the cash portion of the aggregate purchase price and related transaction costs with respect to the Pioneer Acquisition with cash on hand and borrowings under its Senior Secured Credit Facility.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, in connection with the Pioneer Acquisition, the Company acquired additional interests in the Pioneer Assets through additional sellers that exercised their "tag-along" sales rights, for total cash consideration of $2.9 million, excluding customary purchase price adjustments. These acquisitions were accounted for as asset acquisitions.
Sabalo/Shad Acquisition
On May 7, 2021, the Company entered into 2two separate purchase and sale agreements, one (the "Sabalo PSA") with Sabalo Energy, LLC and its subsidiary, Sabalo Operating, LLC (collectively, "Sabalo"), and the other (the "Shad PSA" and together with the Sabalo PSA, the "Sabalo/Shad PSAs") with Shad Permian, LLC ("Shad"), to acquire certain Midland Basin oil and natural gas

properties, including approximately 21,000 net acres and approximately 120 gross (109 net) operated locations and approximately 150 gross (18 net) non-operated locations, located in Howard and Borden Counties, Texas, (collectively, the "Sabalo/Shad Acquisition"). Sabalo and Shad are unaffiliated, but owned interests in the same assets.
On July 1, 2021 ("Sabalo/Shad Closing Date"), the Company closed the Sabalo/Shad Acquisition, effective April 1, 2021, for an aggregate purchase price of $863.1 million, comprised of (i) $606.1 million in cash (ii) 2,506,964 shares of the Company's common stock, based upon the share price as of the Sabalo/Shad Closing Date, and (iii) $17.0 million in transaction related expenses, inclusive of post-closing adjustments.
The Sabalo/Shad Acquisition was accounted for as a single transaction because the Sabalo PSA and Shad PSA were entered into at the same time and in contemplation of one another to form a single transaction designed to achieve an overall economic effect. The Company determined that the Sabalo/Shad Acquisition was an asset acquisition, as substantially all of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a group of similar identifiable assets. Accordingly, the consideration paid was allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values and all transaction costs associated were capitalized.
The following table presents components of the purchase price, inclusive of customary closing adjustments:

The Company funded the cash portion of the aggregate purchase price and related transaction costs with respect to the Sabalo/Shad Acquisition with proceeds from borrowings under its Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Working Interest Sale described below.
Working Interest Sale
On May 7, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the "Sixth Street PSA") with Piper Investments Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Sixth Street Partners, LLC ("Sixth Street"), to sell 37.5% of the Company's working interest in certain producing wellbores and the related properties primarily located within Glasscock and Reagan Counties, Texas, subject to certain excluded assets and title diligence procedures (the "Working Interest Sale").
On July 1, 2021 (the "Sixth Street Closing Date"), the Company closed the Working Interest Sale for cash proceeds of $405.0 million. In addition to such proceeds, the Sixth Street PSA also provided the Company with the right to receive up to a maximum of $93.7 million in additional cash consideration if certain cash flow targets related to divested oil and natural gas property operations are met ("Sixth Street Contingent Consideration"). The Sixth Street Contingent Consideration is made up of quarterly payments through June 2027 totaling up to $38.7 million and a potential balloon payment of $55.0 million in June 2027. On the Sixth Street Closing Date, the fair value of the Sixth Street Contingent Consideration was determined to be $33.8 million. The Sixth Street Contingent Consideration is accounted for as a contingent consideration derivative, with all

gains and losses as a result of changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration derivative recognized in earnings in the period in which the changes occur. See Notes 8 and 9 for further discussion of the Sixth Street Contingent Consideration.
Subsequent to the Sixth Street Closing Date, the Company continues to own and operate its remaining working interest in the properties sold to Sixth Street; however, the results of operations and cash flows related to the 37.5% working interests sold were eliminated from the Company's financial statements. This divestiture did not represent a strategic shift and will not have a major effect on the Company's future operations or financial results.
Pursuant to the rules governing full cost accounting, the Company recorded a gain on the Working Interest Sale of $93.5$94.3 million, net of transaction expenses of $11.6 million, on the Company's consolidated statements of operations, inclusive of post-closing adjustments, as this divestment represented more than 25% of the Company's June 30, 2021 proved reserves. For the purposes of calculating the gain, total capitalized costs were allocated between reserves sold and reserves retained as of the Sixth Street Closing Date.
Exchange of unevaluated oil and natural gas properties
From time to time, the Company exchanges undeveloped acreage with third parties. The exchanges are recorded at fair value and the difference is accounted for as an adjustment of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized pursuant to the rules governing full cost accounting, unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil, NGL and natural gas.

Note 7—Net income (loss) per common share
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution of non-vested restricted stock awards, outstanding stock option awards and non-vested performance share awards. See Note 9 in the 2021 Annual Report for additional discussion of these awards. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, all of these awards were anti-dilutive due to the Company's net loss and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.

The Company has 2two types of derivative instruments as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022: (i) commodity derivatives and (ii) a contingent consideration derivative. In previous periods, the Company also engaged in an interest rate swap derivative, which concluded during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2022. See Notes (i) Note 2 in the 2021 Annual Report for discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies for derivatives and presentation and (ii) Note 9 for discussion of fair value measurement of derivatives on a recurring basis.

Commodity
Due to the inherent volatility in oil, NGL and natural gas prices and the sometimes wide pricing differentials between where the Company produces and where the Company sells such commodities, the Company engages in commodity derivative transactions, such as puts, swaps, collars and basis swaps, to hedge price risk associated with a portion of the Company's anticipated sales volumes. By removing a portion of the price volatility associated with future sales volumes, the Company expects to mitigate, but not eliminate, the potential effects of variability in cash flows from operations. See Note 10 in the 2021 Annual Report for discussion of transaction types and settlement indexes.
During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Company’s derivatives were settled based on reported prices on commodity exchanges, with (i) oil derivatives settled based on WTI NYMEX and Brent ICE pricing, (ii) NGL derivatives settled based on Mont Belvieu OPIS pricing and (iii) natural gas derivatives settled based on Henry Hub NYMEX and Waha Inside FERC pricing.

Contingent consideration
The Sixth Street PSA provides for potential contingent payments to be paid to the Company if certain cash flow targets are met related to divested oil and natural gas property operations. The Sixth Street Contingent Consideration provides the Company with the right to receive up to a maximum of $93.7 million in additional cash consideration, comprised of potential quarterly payments through June 2027 totaling up to $38.7 million and a potential balloon payment of $55.0 million in June 2027. As of September 30, 2022, the maximum remaining additional cash consideration of the contingent consideration was $90.1 million. The fair value of the Sixth Street Contingent Consideration was $35.9 million as of December 31, 2021 and $38.6$28.7 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022. See Note 3 for further discussion of the Working Interest Sale associated with the Sixth Street Contingent Consideration.
The Company's asset acquisition of oil and natural gas properties that closed on April 30, 2020 provided for potential contingent payments to be paid by the Company if the arithmetic average of the monthly settlement WTI NYMEX prices exceed certain thresholds for the contingency period beginning on January 1, 2021 and ending on the earlier of December 31, 2022 or the date the counterparty has received the maximum consideration of $1.2 million. As the maximum thresholds were met, the Company paid the maximum amount of the $1.2 million contingent consideration to the counterparty during the year ended December 31, 2021.
At each quarterly reporting period, the Company remeasures contingent consideration with the change in fair value recognized in "Loss"Gain (loss) on derivatives, net" under "Non-operating income (expense)" on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

The Working Interest Sale provides for potential contingent payments to be paid to the Company. The Sixth Street Contingent Consideration associated with the Working Interest Sale was categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as the Company utilized its own cash flow projections along with a risk-adjusted discount rate generated by a third-party valuation specialist to determine the valuation. The Company reviewed the third-party specialist's valuation,

including the related inputs, and analyzed changes in fair values between the Sixth Street Closing Date and the reporting dates. The fair value of the Sixth Street Contingent Consideration was recorded as part of the basis in the oil and natural gas properties divested and as a contingent consideration asset. At each quarterly reporting period prior to the end of the contingency period, the Company will remeasure the Sixth Street Contingent Consideration with the changes in fair value recognized in the earnings for such quarter.

Note 10—Net income (loss) per common share
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution of non-vested restricted stock awards, outstanding stock option awards and non-vested performance share awards. See Note 9 in the 2021 Annual Report for additional discussion of these awards. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, all of these awards were anti-dilutive due to the Company's net loss and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
The following table reflects the calculations of basic and diluted (i) weighted-average common shares outstanding and (ii) net income (loss) per common share for the periods presented:

Note 11—Commitments and contingencies
From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including those that arise from interpretation of federal, state and local laws and regulations affecting the oil and natural gas industry, personal injury claims, title disputes, royalty disputes, contract claims, contamination claims relating to oil and natural gas exploration and development and environmental claims, including claims involving assets previously sold to third parties and no longer part of the Company's current operations. The Company may not have insurance coverage for some of these proceedings and failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations can result in substantial penalties. While many of
1917

these matters involve inherent uncertainty, as of the date hereof, the Company believes that any such legal proceedings, if ultimately decided adversely, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity. See Note 15 in the 2021 Annual Report for further discussion of litigation and environmental and federal, state and local regulations.
Drilling rig contracts
The Company enters into drilling rig contracts to ensure availability of desired rigs to facilitate drilling plans. The Company has multiple operating leases for terms of multiple months, all of which contain early termination clauses that require the Company to potentially pay penalties to the third party should the Company cease drilling efforts. These penalties would negatively impact the Company's financial statements upon early contract termination. There were no penalties incurred for early contract termination for either of the six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021. As these drilling rig contracts are operating leases with an initial term greater than 12 months, the present value of the future commitment as of June 30, 2022 is included in current and noncurrent "Other liabilities" on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022. See Note 5 in the 2021 Annual Report for additional discussion of the Company's leases.
Firm sale and transportation commitments
The Company has committed to deliver, for sale or transportation, fixed volumes of product under certain contractual arrangements that specify the delivery of a fixed and determinable quantity. If not fulfilled, the Company is subject to firm transportation payments on excess pipeline capacity and other contractual penalties. These commitments are normal and customary for the Company's business. In certain instances, the Company has used spot market purchases to meet its commitments in certain locations or due to favorable pricing. A portion of the Company's commitments are related to transportation commitments with a certain pipeline pertaining to the gathering of the Company's production from established acreage that extends into 2024. The Company was unable to satisfy a portion of this particular commitment with produced or purchased oil, therefore, the Company expensed firm transportation payments on excess capacity of $3.5$7.7 million and $1.1$2.8 million during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which are recorded in "Transportation and marketing expenses" on the unaudited consolidated statementstatements of operations. The Company's estimated aggregate liability of firm transportation payments on excess capacity is $5.6$8.6 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, and is included in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, future firm sale and transportation commitments of $189.6$171.5 million are expected to be satisfied and, as such, are not recorded as a liability on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet.
Sand purchase commitment
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company renegotiated an agreement to take delivery of processed sand at a fixed price for one year, which is utilized in the Company's completions activities, from its sand mine that is operated by a third-party contractor. As of June 30, 2022, under the terms of this agreement, the Company is required to purchase a certain volume remaining under its commitment or it will incur a shortfall payment of $2.2 million at the end of the contract period.

Note 14—12—Income taxes
The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes and the Texas franchise tax. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Company had federal net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards totaling $1.9$1.6 billion, $1.5$1.2 billion of which will begin to expire in 20282031 and $376.2$366.8 million of which will not expire but may be limited in future periods, and state of Oklahoma net operating loss carryforwards totaling $34.4 million that will begin to expire in 2032. If the Company were to experience an "ownership change" as determined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company's ability to offset taxable income arising after the ownership change with net operating losses arising prior to the ownership change would be limited. For the three and six months ended JuneAs of September 30, 2022, the Company recorded current tax expense of $4.5 million and $5.7 million for Texas franchise taxes, respectively.no such ownership change has occurred.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Company believes it is more likely than not that a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards are not fully realizable. The Company continues to consider new evidence, both positive and negative, in determining whether,

based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. Such consideration includes projected future cash flows from its oil, NGL and natural gas reserves (including the timing of those cash flows), the reversal of deferred tax liabilities recorded as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and the Company's ability to capitalize intangible drilling costs, rather than expensing these costs and future projections of taxable income. A significant item of objective negative evidence

considered was the cumulative historical three-year pre-tax loss and net deferred tax asset position. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as the Company’s potential for future growth.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, a total valuation allowance of $398.2$325.7 million has been recorded to offset the Company's federal and Oklahoma net deferred tax assets, resulting in a $1.3$1.5 million Texas net deferred liability,asset, which is included in "Other noncurrent liabilities"assets, net" on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.
Since September 30, 2015, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its federal and Oklahoma net deferred tax position. As such, the Company's effective tax rate is 2%1%, due to the Texas franchise tax. The Company's effective tax rate is affected by changes in valuation allowances, recurring permanent differences and discrete items that may occur in any given year, but are not consistent from year to year. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s items of discrete income tax expense or benefit were not material.
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "IRA") was signed into U.S. law. The IRA includes various tax provisions, including a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases made by publicly traded U.S. corporations, expanded tax credits for clean energy incentives and a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax that applies to certain corporations with adjusted financial statement income in excess of $1.0 billion. The Company is evaluating the IRA and its requirements, as well as the potential impact of the IRA to its business.

Executive overview
We are an independent energy company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties in the Permian Basin of West Texas. The oil and liquids-rich Permian Basin is characterized by multiple target horizons, extensive production histories, long-lived reserves, high drilling success rates and high initial production rates. We have grown primarily through our drilling program, coupled with select strategic acquisitions. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we had assembled 165,511165,359 net acres in the Permian Basin.
We are currently operating two drilling rigs and one completions crew andwhich we expect to maintain two drilling rigs and one completions crew for the remainder of 2022. Our planned capital expenditures for fourth-quarter 2022 are expected to be approximately $550.0$135.0 million to $145.0 million. However, we will continue to monitor commodity prices and service costs and adjust activity levels in order to proactively manage our cash flows and preserve liquidity.

Recent developments
Volatility in commodity prices
Commodity prices remained strong during the secondthird quarter of 2022, sustaining levels reached at the end of the first quarter as increased commodity demand has continued to outpace increasedrelative supply. WorldwideWhile recessionary concerns have placed some downward pressure on commodity prices, causing oil and gas prices to retreat from their earlier highs in 2022, worldwide commodity demand continues to exceed pre-pandemic levels as the impact from COVID-19pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. Although supply has subsided and economies have returned to a more normal level of activity. Supplyincreased, it has been constrained and pricing has been affected, in part, by the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict on global commodity and financial markets, and the resulting effect of sanctions by the European Union, United Kingdom and U.S. on imports of oil and gas from Russia. Supply has also been restrained, toRussia, as well as a degree,recent announcement by the continued cooperationOPEC+ of OPEC+ and its commitment to steady and predictableoil production increases throughoutcuts of two million barrels per day beginning in November of 2022. However, because any of the above factors could suddenly change or reverse, global commodity and financial markets remain subject to heightened levels of uncertainty and volatility, and future disruptions and industry-specific impacts could result.
Rising inflation and interest rates
While certainReversing a trend experienced in 2020 in connection with the impact of COVID-19 and historically low crude oil prices, drilling and completions costs and costs of oilfield services, equipment, and materials decreased in recent years, as service providers reduced their costs in response to reduced demand arising from historically low crude oil prices, such costs began to rise in 2021 and have continued to persist at elevated levels in 2022 in conjunction with the significant increase in commodity prices, labor tightening, supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting limited availability of certain materials and products manufactured using such materials and heightened levels of inflation. In addition to the effect of such inflationary pressures on our operating costs, of operations, rising interest rates as a result of the Federal Reserve’s tightening monetary policy have the potential to increase our borrowing costs on debt under our Senior Secured Credit Facility. We remain committed to our ongoing efforts to increase the efficiency of our operations and improve costs, which may, in part, offset cost increases from inflation and reduce our borrowing needs.
Senior unsecured notes repurchases
Subsequent to June 30, 2022 we repurchased $11.0 million, $22.5 million and $25.9 million in aggregate principal of the January 2025 Notes, January 2028 Notes and July 2029 Notes, respectively, through August 2, 2022. See Note 515 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional discussion of our senior unsecured notes repurchases.
Share repurchase program
Subsequentrecent developments that have occurred subsequent to JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we repurchased 99,012 shares of our common stock on the open market at a weighted-average price of $71.38 per common share for a total of $7.0 million under our share repurchase program through August 2, 2022. See Note 6 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional discussion of our share repurchases.

Pricing and reserves
Our results of operations are heavily influenced by oil, NGL and natural gas prices. Historically, commodity prices have experienced significant fluctuations; however, the volatility in prices has substantially increased in recent years. We maintain an active, multi-year commodity derivatives strategy to minimize commodity price volatility and support cash flows needed for operations. We have entered into a number of commodity derivative contracts that have enabled us to offset a portion of the changes in our cash flow caused by fluctuations in price and basis differentials for our sales of oil, NGL and natural gas, as discussed in "Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk." See Notes 8 and 9 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional discussion of our commodity derivatives. Notwithstanding our derivatives strategy, another collapse in commodity prices may affect the economic viability of, and our ability to fund, our drilling projects, as well as the economic recovery of oil, NGL and natural gas reserves. See "Critical accounting estimates" in "Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Operations" of the 2021 Annual Report for further discussion of our oil, NGL and natural gas reserve quantities and standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows.
Our reserves are reported in three streams: oil, NGL and natural gas. The Realized Prices, which are utilized to value our proved reserves and calculated using the average first-day-of-the-month prices for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, adjusted for factors affecting price received at the delivery point, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 were $86.39$92.54 for oil, $31.27$32.38 for NGL and $3.72$4.34 for natural gas. The unamortized cost of evaluated oil and natural gas properties being depleted did not exceed the full cost ceiling as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and JuneSeptember 30, 2021. As such, no full cost ceiling impairments were recorded during the sixnine months ending JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and JuneSeptember 30, 2021. Additionally, if prices remain at current levels we do not anticipate recording any full cost ceiling impairments for the foreseeable future. See Notes 2 and 6 in our 2021 Annual Report for discussion of the full cost method of accounting and our Realized Prices.

(1)BOE is calculated using a conversion rate of six Mcf per one Bbl.
(2)The numbers presented in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021 columns are based on actual amounts and are not calculated using the rounded numbers presented in the table above or the table below.
(3)Price reflects the average of actual sales prices received when control passes to the purchaser/customer adjusted for quality, certain transportation fees, geographical differentials, marketing bonuses or deductions and other factors affecting the price received at the delivery point.
(4)Price reflects the after-effects of our commodity derivative transactions on our average sales prices. Our calculation of such after-effects includes settlements of matured commodity derivatives during the respective periods in accordance with GAAP and an adjustment to reflect premiums incurred previously or upon settlement that are attributable to commodity derivatives that settled during the respective periods.

The increase in our second-quarter and first-halfthird-quarter 2022 oil revenues as compared to the same periodsperiod in 2021 is primarily due to an increase in oil price. The increase in our third-quarter year-to-date 2022 oil revenues as compared to the same period in 2021 is primarily due to (i) an increase in oil price and (ii) the Sabalo/Shad Acquisition and Pioneer Acquisition, both of which occurred during the second half of 2021, and the related increase in our oil sales volumes.

prices. The increase in our third-quarter year-to-date 2022 NGL and natural gas revenues as compared to the same period in 2021 is primarily due to increases in NGL and natural gas prices, partially offset by the Working Interest Sale, which occurred during the second half of 2021, and the related decrease in our NGL and natural gas sales volumes.

Midstream service revenues. Our midstream service revenues increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Midstream service revenues are generated by oil throughput fees and services provided to third parties for (i) integrated oil and natural gas gathering and transportation systems and related facilities, (ii) natural gas lift, fuel for drilling and completions activities and centralized compression infrastructure and (iii) water storage, recycling and transportation infrastructure, and are recognized over time as the customer benefits from these services when provided. These revenues vary and will fluctuate due to oil throughput fees and the level of services provided to third parties.
Sales of purchased oil. Sales of purchased oil are a function of the volumes and prices of purchased oil sold to customers and are offset by the volumes and costs of purchased oil. During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we were a firm shipper on the Gray Oak pipeline and we utilized purchased oil to fulfill portions of our commitments. In previous periods, we also utilized purchased oil to fulfill portions of our Bridgetex pipeline commitment, which ended during the first quarter of 2022. The continuance of this practice in the future is based upon, among other factors, our pipeline capacity as a firm shipper and the quantity of our lease production which may contribute to our pipeline commitments. Sales of purchased oil decreased during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 primarily due to a decrease in the volumes of purchased oil as our Bridgetex pipeline commitment ended during the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by an increase in sales prices.
We enter into purchase transactions with third parties and separate sale transactions. These transactions areThe following tables present sales of purchased oil for the periods presented on a gross basis as we act as the principal in the transaction by assuming control of the commodities purchased and the responsibility to deliver the commodities sold. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the purchaser/customer at the delivery point based on the price received. The transportation costs associated with these transactions are presented as a component of costs of purchased oil.

(1)Selected average costs and expenses per BOE sold are based on actual amounts and are not calculated using the rounded numbers presented in the table above.

Lease operating expenses ("LOE"). LOE, which includes workover expenses, increased for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021. LOE are daily expenses incurred to bring oil, NGL and natural gas out of the ground and to market, together with the daily expenses incurred to maintain our producing properties. Such costs also include maintenance, repairs and non-routine workover expenses related to our oil and natural gas properties. LOE increased in the first half ofduring 2022 due to inflationary pressures and costs associated with integrating our recently acquired assets from the Sabalo/Shad Acquisition and Pioneer Acquisition, primarily driven by costs related to artificial lift and flowback management. We continue to focus on economic efficiencies associated with the usage and procurement of products and services related to LOE. TotalLOE.Total LOE is expected to remain relatively flat for the remainder of the year, with unit LOE increasing slightly as total volumes are expected to decline.
Production and ad valorem taxes. Production and ad valorem taxes increased for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021, due to increased oil, NGL and natural gas sales revenues. Production taxes are based on and fluctuate in proportion to our oil, NGL and natural gas sales revenues, and are established by federal, state or local taxing authorities. We take full advantage of all credits and exemptions in our various taxing jurisdictions. Ad valorem taxes are based on and fluctuate in proportion to the taxable value assessed by the various counties where our oil and natural gas properties are located.

Transportation and marketing expenses. Transportation and marketing expenses increased slightly for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021. These are expenses incurred for the delivery of produced oil to customers in the U.S. Gulf Coast market via the Gray Oak pipeline and, in previous periods, the Bridgetex pipeline. We ship the majority of our produced oil to the U.S. Gulf Coast, which we believe provides a long-term pricing advantage versus the Midland market. Additionally, firm transportation payments on excess pipeline capacity associated with transportation agreements are included in transportation and marketing expenses. See Note 1110 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional discussion of our transportation commitments.
Midstream service expenses. Midstream service expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021. These are expenses incurred to operate and maintain our (i) integrated oil and natural gas gathering and transportation systems and related facilities, (ii) centralized oil storage tanks, (iii) natural gas lift, fuel for drilling and completion activities and centralized compression infrastructure and (iv) water storage, recycling and transportation facilities.
Costs of purchased oil. During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we were a firm shipper on the Gray Oak pipeline and we utilized purchased oil to fulfill portions of our commitments. In previous periods, we also utilized purchased oil to fulfill portions of our Bridgetex pipeline commitment, which ended during the first quarter of 2022. In the event our long-haul transportation capacity on the Gray Oak pipeline is expected to exceed our net production, consistent with our historic practice, we expect to continue to purchase third-party oil at the trading hubs to satisfy the deficit in our associated long-haul transportation commitments. Costs of purchased oil decreased for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021 primarily due to a decrease in the volumes of purchased oil on pipelines as our Bridgetex pipeline commitment ended during the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by an increase in sales prices.
General and administrative ("G&A"). G&A, excluding employee compensation expenses from our long-term incentive plan ("LTIP"), increased for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, mainly due to (i) increases in workforce and professional expenses and (ii) inflationary pressures.
LTIP cash expense decreased for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021. TheThese decreases are primarily due to (i) forfeitures of cash-settled performance unit awards in connection with the departure of our former Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer during the third quarter of 2022 and (ii) a decrease in the fair values of our cash-settled performance unitLTIP awards and phantom unit awards, granted in prior years, decreased significantly during the secondthird quarter of 2022, mainly due to the performance of our stock during the period.
LTIP non-cash expense increaseddecreased for the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2021, mainly due to forfeitures of share-settled LTIP awards in connection with the departure of our former Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer during the third quarter of 2022. LTIP non-cash expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, mainly due to new restricted stock awards and performance shareshare-settled LTIP awards granted to our employees during the second half of 2021 and the first half of 2022, and partially offset by forfeitures of share-settled LTIP awards in connection with the departure of our former Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer during the third quarter of 2022. See Note 76 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for information regarding our equity-based compensation.
Organizational restructuring.restructuring expenses. TheseOrganizational restructuring expenses represent the one-time charges comprising of compensation, tax, professional, outplacement and insurance related expensesincreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021. Such expenses were incurred for (i) the departure our former Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer during the third quarter of 2022 and (ii) a workforce reduction that occurred in during the first halfsecond quarter of 2021. See Note 14 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for information regarding our organizational restructurings.
Gain on disposal of assets, net. Gain on disposal of assets, net, decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021, primarily due to the gain recorded in third-quarter 2021 in connection with the Working Interest Sale. See Note 3to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional discussion regarding the gain on the Working Interest Sale. From time to time, we dispose of inventory, midstream service assets and other fixed assets. The associated gain or loss recorded during the period fluctuates depending on the volume of the assets disposed, their associated net book value and, in the case of a disposal by sale, the sale price.

In general, if outstanding commodity contracts are held constant, we experience gains during periods of decreasing market prices and losses during periods of increasing market prices. Settlements paid or received for matured derivatives are for our (i) commodity derivative contracts, which are based on the settlement prices compared to the prices specified in the derivative contracts, (ii) interest rate derivative and (iii) contingent consideration derivatives.

We are subject to federal and state income taxes and the Texas franchise tax. The income tax expensebenefit (expense) for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 is attributed to Texas franchise tax. tax, due to a full valuation allowance recorded against the federal and Oklahoma deferred tax assets.
If we were to experience an "ownership change" as determined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, our ability to offset taxable income arising after the ownership change with net operating losses arising prior to the ownership change would be limited. As of September 30, 2022, no such ownership change has occurred.
With the rise in oil prices and the addition of oily, high- marginhigh-margin inventory, we have recently seen positive indications that we will use a portionour NOLs. We utilized $244.8 million of our NOLs.NOLs on our 2021 tax return and expect to utilize a comparable amount on our 2022 tax return. However, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we believe it is more likely than not that a portion of the NOL loss carryforwards are not fully realizable. We continue to consider new evidence, both positive and negative, in determining whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. Such consideration includes projected future cash flows from our oil, NGL and natural gas reserves (including the timing of those cash flows), the reversal of deferred tax

liabilities recorded as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, and our ability to capitalize intangible drilling costs, rather than expensing these costs and future projections of Oklahoma sourced income. A significant item of objective negative evidence considered was the cumulative historical three-year pre-tax loss and a net deferred tax asset position at September 30, 2022.
We currently believe it is reasonably possible we could achieve a three-year cumulative level of profitability within the next 12 months, which would enhance our ability to conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would be realized and support a release of the valuation allowance. However, the exact timing and amount of the release is unknown at this time. As of June 30, 2022, a totallong as we continue to conclude that the valuation allowance of $398.2 million has been recorded to offsetagainst our federal and Oklahoma net deferred tax assets resulting inis necessary, we will not have significant deferred income tax expense or benefit. The valuation allowance does not preclude us from utilizing the tax attributes if we recognize taxable income.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into U.S. law. The IRA includes various tax provisions, including a $1.3 million Texas net deferred liability. The effective1% excise tax rateon stock repurchases made by publicly traded U.S. corporations, expanded tax credits for our operations was 2%, dueclean energy incentives and a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax that applies to the Texas franchise tax. Our effective tax rate is affected by changes in valuation allowances, recurring permanent differences and discrete items that may occur in any given year, but are not consistent from year to year.
Issuances, sales and/or exchanges of our common stock, taken togethercertain corporations with prior transactions with respect to our common stock, could trigger an ownership change and therefore a limitation on our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards which could result in taxableadjusted financial statement income in future years.excess of $1.0 billion. The Company is evaluating the IRA and its requirements, as well as the potential impact of the IRA to its business. For additional discussion of our income taxes, see Note 1412 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Liquidity and capital resources
Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, proceeds from equity offerings, proceeds from senior unsecured note offerings, borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and proceeds from asset dispositions. Our primary operational uses of capital have been for the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties and infrastructure development. During the secondthird quarter of 2022, we have utilized our cash flows to fund the repurchase of portions of our senior unsecured notes and our share repurchase program. For additional discussion of the repurchase of our senior unsecured notes and our share repurchase program, see Notes 54 and 6,5, respectively, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
We continually seek to maintain a financial profile that provides operational flexibility and monitor the markets to consider which financing alternatives, including debt and equity capital resources, joint ventures and asset sales, are available to meet our future planned capital expenditures, a significant portion of which we are able to adjust and manage. We also continually evaluate opportunities with respect to our capital structure, including issuances of new securities, as well as transactions involving our outstanding senior notes, which could take the form of open market or private repurchases, exchange or tender offers, or other similar transactions, and our common stock, which could take the form of open market or private repurchases. We may make changes to our capital structure from time to time, with the goal of maintaining financial flexibility, preserving or improving liquidity and/or achieving cost efficiency. Such financing alternatives, or combination of alternatives, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. We continuously look for other opportunities to maximize shareholder value. For further discussion of our financing activities related to debt instruments, see Notes 54 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Due to the inherent volatility in the prices of oil, NGL and natural gas and the sometimes wide pricing differentials between where we produce and sell such commodities, we engage in commodity derivative transactions to hedge price risk associated with a portion of our anticipated sales volumes. Due to the inherent volatility in interest rates, we will, from time to time, enter into interest rate derivative swaps to hedge interest rate risk associated with our debt under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. By removing a portion of the (i) price volatility associated with future sales volumes, and (ii) interest rate volatility associated with anticipated outstanding debt, we expect to mitigate, but not eliminate, the potential effects of variability in cash flows from operations. See "Part I. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" below. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for discussion of our open commodity positions.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $147.5$49.9 million and available capacity under the Senior Secured Credit Facility of $1.0 billion,$960.0 million, resulting in total liquidity of $1.1$1.0 billion. As of AugustNovember 2, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $113.9$53.9 million and full available capacity under the Senior Secured Credit Facility of $1.0 billion, resulting in total liquidity of $1.1 billion.

Cash flows from operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. Notable cash changes include (i) an increase in total oil, NGL and natural gas sales revenues of $565.9$699.5 million, (ii) a decrease of $208.1$241.2 million due to changes in net settlements for matured derivatives, net of premiums, mainly due to increases in commodity prices and (iii) an increase of $74.0$85.7 million due to net changes in operating assets and liabilities. Other significant changes include an increase in lease operating expense and production and ad valorem taxes. The increase in total oil, NGL and natural gas sales revenues was due to a 120%86% increase in average sales price per BOE andas well as59%34% increase in oil volumes sold. For additional information, see "—Results of operations."
Our operating cash flows are sensitive to a number of variables, the most significant of which are the volatility of oil, NGL and natural gas prices, mitigated to the extent of our commodity derivatives' exposure, and sales volume levels. Regional and worldwide economic activity, weather, infrastructure, transportation capacity to reach markets, costs of operations, legislation and regulations, including potential government production curtailments, and other variable factors significantly impact the prices of these commodities. For additional information on risks related to our business, see "Part I. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" and "Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors" included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and "Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2021 Annual Report.
Cash flows from investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities increaseddecreased for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, mainly due to increases(i) a decrease in acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties, offset by a decrease in proceeds from the sale of capital assets and (ii) inflationary pressures and an increase in non-operated capital expenditures related to oil and natural gas properties.

and prioritize capital projects that we believe have the highest expected returns and potential to generate near-term cash flow. Subject to financing alternatives, we may also increase our capital expenditures significantly to take advantage of opportunities we consider to be attractive. We continually monitor and may adjust our projected capital expenditures in response to world developments, as well as success or lack of success in drilling activities, changes in prices, availability of financing and joint venture opportunities, drilling and acquisition costs, industry conditions, the timing of regulatory approvals, the availability of rigs and supplies, changes in service costs, contractual obligations, internally generated cash flow and other factors both within and outside our control.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains both financial and non-financial covenants, all of which we were in compliance with for all periods presented. Additionally, the Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for the issuance of letters of credit, limited to the lesser of total capacity or $80.0 million. As of December 31, 2021, we had a $44.1 million letter of credit outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. There were no outstanding letters of credit as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022. The Senior Secured Credit Facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by LMS and GCM.
On April 13,August 30, 2022, we entered into the EighthNinth Amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Ninth Amendment, among other things, added additional capacity to making repurchases of the Company's common stock and clarified the conditions to making redemptions of the Company's debt.

Supplemental Guarantor information
As discussed in Note 5 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, on January 24, 2020, we issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the January 2025 Notes and $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the January 2028 Notes. On July 16, 2021, we issued $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the July 2029 Notes. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, $1.3$1.2 billion of our senior unsecured notes remained outstanding. Our wholly owned subsidiaries, LMS and GCM (each, a "Guarantor," and together, the "Guarantors"), jointly and severally, and fully and unconditionally, guarantees the January 2025 Notes, January 2028 Notes and July 2029 Notes.
The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of each Guarantor and rank equally in right of payment with other existing and future senior indebtedness of such Guarantor, and senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of such Guarantor. The guarantees of the senior unsecured notes by the Guarantors are subject to certain Releases. The obligations of each Guarantor under its note guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent such note guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. Further, the rights of holders of the senior unsecured notes

against the Guarantors may be limited under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or state fraudulent transfer or conveyance law. Laredo is not restricted from making investments in the Guarantors and the Guarantors are not restricted from making intercompany distributions to Laredo or each other.
The assets, liabilities and results of operations of the combined issuer and Guarantors are not materially different than the corresponding amounts presented in our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Accordingly, we have omitted the summarized financial information of the issuer and the Guarantors that would otherwise be required.
Non-GAAP financial measures
The non-GAAP financial measures of Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures of liquidity or financial performance, but rather should be considered in conjunction with GAAP measures, such as net income or loss, operating income or loss or cash flows from operating activities.
Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) before changes in operating assets and liabilities, net, less incurred capital expenditures, excluding non-budgeted acquisition costs. Management believes Free Cash Flow is useful to management and investors in evaluating operating trends in our business that are affected by production, commodity prices, operating costs and other related factors. There are significant limitations to the use of Free Cash Flow as a measure of performance, including the lack of comparability due to the different methods of calculating Free Cash Flow reported by different companies.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income or loss (GAAP) plus adjustments for share-settled equity-based compensation, depletion, depreciation and amortization, impairment expense, gains or losses on disposal of assets, mark-to-market on derivatives, premiums paid or received for commodity derivatives that matured during the period, accretion expense, gains or losses on disposal of assets, interest expense, income taxes and other non-recurring income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA provides no information regarding a company's capital structure, borrowings, interest costs, capital expenditures, working capital movement or tax position. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for future discretionary use because it excludes funds required for debt service, capital expenditures, working capital, income taxes, franchise taxes and other commitments and obligations. However, our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because this measure:
is widely used by investors in the oil and natural gas industry to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods, the book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors;
helps investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our capital structure from our operating structure; and
 is used by our management for various purposes, including as a measure of operating performance, in presentations to our board of directors and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.
There are significant limitations to the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the effect of certain recurring and non-recurring items that materially affect our net income or loss and the lack of comparability of results of operations to different companies due to the different methods of calculating Adjusted EBITDA reported by different companies. Our measurements of Adjusted EBITDA for financial reporting as compared to compliance under our debt agreements differ.

Critical accounting estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Certain accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions or if different assumptions had been used. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022. See our critical accounting estimates in "Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our 2021 Annual Report.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risk. The term "market risk," in our case, refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in oil, NGL and natural gas prices and in interest rates. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures. All of our market risk-sensitive derivative instruments were entered into for hedging purposes, rather than for speculative trading.
Oil, NGL and natural gasCommodity price exposure
Due to the inherent volatility in oil, NGL and natural gas prices and the sometimes wide pricing differentials between where we produce and sell such commodities, we engage in commodity derivative transactions, such as puts, swaps, collars and basis swaps, to hedge price risk associated with a portion of our anticipated sales volumes. By removing a portion of the price volatility associated with future sales volumes, we expect to mitigate, but not eliminate, the potential effects of variability in cash flows from operations.
The fair valuesvalue of our open commodity and contingent consideration derivative positions are largely determined by the relevant forward commodity price curves of the indexes associated with our open derivative positions. We had a $275.0 million net liability position from the fair values of our open commodity derivatives and a $38.6 million asset position from our contingent consideration derivative as of June 30, 2022. The following table provides a sensitivity analysis of the projected incremental effect on income (loss)or loss before income taxes of a hypothetical 10% change in the relevant forward commodity price curves of the indexes associated with our open commodity and contingent consideration derivative positions as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022:

For additional discussion of our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see "Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our 2021 Annual Report.
Interest rate risk
Our Senior Secured Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate and our senior unsecured notes bear interest at fixed rates. The current interest rate applicable to potential borrowings on our Senior Secured Credit Facility ranges from approximately 3% to 4%, dependent upon the ratioas of amounts outstanding to our borrowing base.September 30, 2022 was 5.379%. See Notes 5 andNote 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further discussion of our debt.
Customer performance risk
In The interest rate on borrowings may be based on an alternate base rate or term secured overnight financing rate ("Term SOFR"), at our option. Interest on alternate base rate loans is equal to the current market environment, we believe thatsum of (a) the inability or failurehighest of any one of our major customers to physically take possession of our oil would have an adverse(i) the "prime rate" (as publically announced by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.) in effect on such day, (ii) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day plus 0.5% and (iii) the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in our financial conditionSenior Secured Credit Facility) for a one-month tenor in effect on such day plus 1% and potentially(b) the applicable margin. Interest on Term SOFR loans is equal to the sum of (a)(i) the Term SOFR (as defined in our resultsSenior Secured Credit Facility) rate for such period plus (ii) the Term SOFR Adjustment (as defined in our Senior Secured Credit Facility) of operations. See Note 140.1% (in the case of clause (a), subject to a floor of 0%) plus (b) the applicable margin. The applicable margin varies from 1.5% to 2.5% on alternate base rate borrowings and from 2.5% to 3.5% on Term SOFR borrowings, in each case, depending on our utilization ratio. At September 30, 2022, the 2021 Annual Reportapplicable margin on our borrowings were 1.5% for additional discussion of our customer performance risk.alternate base rate borrowings and 2.5% for Term SOFR borrowings.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Laredo's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act), was performed under the supervision and with the participation of Laredo's management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on that evaluation, these officers concluded that Laredo's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022. Our disclosure controls and other procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Laredo's management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of changes in internal control over financial reporting
During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we implemented a major portion of a new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system. Although the ERP functions as an integral part of our processes and system of internal controls, we concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, there have been no changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Part II
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are subject to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings for which we may not have insurance coverage. While many of these matters involve inherent uncertainty as of the date hereof, we do not currently believe that any such legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Item 1A.    Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the risks discussed in our first-quarter 2022 Quarterly Report, our 2021 Annual Report and those set forth from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. ThereOther than the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those described in our 2021 Annual Report and our first-quarter 2022 Quarterly Report. The risks described in such reports are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
Continuing or worsening inflationary pressures and associated changes in monetary policy have resulted in and may result in additional increases to our drilling and completions costs and costs of oilfield services, equipment, and materials, which in turn have caused and may continue to cause our capital expenditures and operating costs to rise.
The U.S. inflation rate has been steadily increasing since 2021 and into 2022. These inflationary pressures have resulted in and may result in additional increases to our drilling and completions costs and costs of oilfield services, equipment, and materials, which in turn have caused and may continue to cause our capital expenditures and operating costs to rise. Sustained levels of high inflation have likewise caused the Federal Reserve and other central banks to increase interest rates, which could have the effects of raising the cost of capital and depressing economic growth, either of which — or the combination thereof — could hurt the financial and operating results of our business.
