GLOSSARY OF OIL AND GAS TERMS
1


Unless indicated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) to the "Company," “Extraction,” "us," "we," "our," or "ours" or like terms refer to Extraction Oil & Gas, Inc. following the completion
Table of our initial public offering on October 17, 2016, as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“Annual Report”). When used in the historical context, the "Company," "Holdings,” "us," "we," "our" and "ours" or like terms refer to Extraction Oil & Gas Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries. Holdings is our accounting predecessor, for which we present the consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 in this Quarterly Report.Contents

The terms defined in this section are used throughout this Quarterly Report:

“Bbl” means one stock tank barrel, or 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume, used in reference to oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.

“Bbl/d” means Bbl per day.

“Btu” means one British thermal unit – a measure of the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a one-pound mass of water one degree Fahrenheit at sea level.

“BOE" means barrels of oil equivalent. Oil equivalents are determined using the ratio of six Mcf of gas (including gas liquids) to one Bbl of oil.

"BOE/d" means BOE per day.

"CIG" means Colorado Interstate Gas.

"Completion" means the installation of permanent equipment for the production of oil or natural gas.

"Field" means an area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs all grouped on or related to the same individual geological structural feature or stratigraphic condition.

“Fracturing” or “hydraulic fracturing” means a procedure to stimulate production by forcing a mixture of fluid and proppant (usually sand) into the formation under high pressure. This creates artificial fractures in the reservoir rock, which increases permeability and porosity.

"Gas" or "Natural gas" means the lighter hydrocarbons and associated non-hydrocarbon substances occurring naturally in an underground reservoir, which under atmospheric conditions are essentially gases but which may contain liquids.

"Gross Acres" or "Gross Wells" means the total acres or wells, as the case may be, in which we have a working interest.

“Henry Hub” means Henry Hub index. Natural gas distribution point where prices are set for natural gas futures contracts traded on the NYMEX.

"Horizontal drilling" or “horizontal well” means a wellbore that is drilled laterally.

"Leases" means full or partial interests in oil or gas properties authorizing the owner of the lease to drill for, produce and sell oil and natural gas in exchange for any or all of rental, bonus and royalty payments. Leases are generally acquired from private landowners (fee leases) and from federal and state governments on acreage held by them.

"MBbl" One thousand barrels of oil, condensate or NGL.

“MBoe" One thousand barrels of oil equivalent. Oil equivalents are determined using the ratio of six Mcf of gas (including gas liquids) to one Bbl of oil.

"Mcf" is an abbreviation for "1,000 cubic feet," which is a unit of measurement of volume for natural gas.

"MMBtu" One million Btus.


"MMcf" is an abbreviation for "1,000,000 cubic feet," which is a unit of measurement of volume for natural gas.

"Net Acres" or "Net Wells" is the sum of the fractional working interests owned in gross acres or wells, as the case may be, expressed as whole numbers and fractions thereof.

"NGL" means natural gas liquids.

"NYMEX" means New York Mercantile Exchange.

“Overriding royalty” means an interest in the gross revenues or production over and above the landowner’s royalty carved out of the working interest and also unencumbered with any expenses of operation, development or maintenance.

"Proved reserves" means those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.

“Reasonable certainty” means a high degree of confidence that the reserves quantities will be recovered, when a deterministic method is used. A high degree of confidence exists if the reserves quantity is much more likely to be achieved than not, and, as changes due to increased availability of geoscience (geological, geophysical and geochemical), engineering and economic data are made to estimated ultimate recovery (“EUR”) with time, reasonably certain EUR is much more likely to increase or remain constant than to decrease.

"Reservoir" means a porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible natural gas and/or oil that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual and separate from other reservoirs.

"Royalty" means the share paid to the owner of mineral rights, expressed as a percentage of gross income from oil and natural gas produced and sold unencumbered by expenses relating to the drilling, completing and operating of the affected well.

“SEC” means the Securities and Exchange Commission.

“Undeveloped leasehold acreage” means the leased 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 estimated net proved reserves.

“Wattenberg Field” means the Greater Wattenberg Area within the Denver-Julesburg Basin of Colorado as defined by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, which are the lands from and including Townships 2 South to 7 North and Ranges 61 West to 69 West, Six Principal Median.

"Working interest" means an interest in an oil and natural gas lease entitling the holder at its expense to conduct drilling and production operations on the leased property and to receive the net revenues attributable to such interest, after deducting the landowner's royalty, any overriding royalties, production costs, taxes and other costs.

"WTI" means the price of West Texas Intermediate oil on the NYMEX.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report.Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (“Annual Report”).


Significant Accounting Policies


The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 22—Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report and are supplemented by the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this report. These unauditedQuarterly Report. As discussed in Note 3—Fresh Start Reporting, upon emergence from bankruptcy on January 20, 2021, the Company recorded its consolidated balance sheet accounts at fair value.

The Predecessor Company applied Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 852—Reorganizations (“ASC 852”) in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. ASC 852 did not apply to the Successor Company. ASC 852 requires the financial statements, should be read in conjunctionfor periods subsequent to the Chapter 11 Cases’ filing date, to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain expenses incurred during the bankruptcy proceedings, including gain on settlement of debt and fresh-start valuations, are recorded as reorganization items, net. In addition, for periods after the Petition Date and through the Emergence Date, Predecessor Company pre-petition obligations that may have been impacted by the Chapter 11 process have been classified on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as “Liabilities Subject to Compromise.” These liabilities are reported at the amounts the Predecessor Company anticipated would be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court as of that balance sheet date, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. See below for more information regarding reorganization items, net.

GAAP requires certain additional reporting for financial statements prepared between the Petition Date and notes includedthe Emergence Date, including:

Reclassification of pre-petition liabilities that are unsecured, under-secured or where it cannot be determined that the liabilities are fully secured to a separate line item in the condensed consolidated balance sheets called “Liabilities Subject to Compromise”; and

Segregation of reorganization items, net as a separate line in the condensed consolidated statements of operations outside of income from continuing operations.

Accounting policies for the balance sheet accounts listed below are disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report. As of the Effective Date, the amounts for these accounts have been recorded at fair value.

Executory Contracts

Subject to certain exceptions, under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume, assign, or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a pre-petition breach of such executory contract or unexpired lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors from performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitles the contract counterparty or lessor to a pre-petition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach. Generally, the assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing monetary defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease and provide adequate assurance of future performance.

Bankruptcy Claims

The Debtors have filed with the Bankruptcy Court schedules and statements setting forth, among other things, the assets and liabilities of each of the Debtors, subject to the assumptions filed in connection therewith. These schedules and statements may be subject to further amendment or modification after filing. Certain holders of pre-petition claims that are not governmental units were required to file proofs of claim by the bar date of August 14, 2020. As of August 3, 2021, the Debtors’ have received approximately 2,600 proofs of claim, primarily representing general unsecured claims, for an amount of approximately $5.8 billion. The Bankruptcy Court does not allow for claims that have been acknowledged as duplicates. Approximately 2,200 claims totaling approximately $4.2 billion have been withdrawn, disallowed or are pending approval to be disallowed. As of August 3, 2021, there are a total of approximately $75.1 million in remaining asserted claims in the bankruptcy. For the remaining claims, the Company is attempting to reach settlement with the claimants or has or is expected to object to the claims. Differences in amounts recorded and claims filed by creditors are currently being investigated and resolved, including through filing objections with the Bankruptcy Court, where appropriate. The Company may ask the Bankruptcy Court to disallow claims that the Company believes are duplicative, have been later amended or superseded, are without merit, are overstated or should be disallowed for other reasons. In light of the substantial number of claims filed, the claims resolution process may take considerable time to complete and is continuing even after the Debtors emerged from bankruptcy.

Divestitures

In April 2021, the Company completed the sale of certain non-operated producing properties for aggregate sales proceeds of approximately $15.2 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. No gain or loss was recognized. In conjunction with the April 2021 divestiture, the Company recorded a receivable of approximately $2.7 million in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 for post-closing adjustments. The Company continues to explore divestitures as part of our ongoing initiative to divest non-strategic assets.

This amendment will be effective retrospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacteffect of adopting this ASU, however it is not expected to have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.guidance.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, which addresses eight specific cash flow issues, including presentation of debt prepayments or debt extinguishment costs, with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. In addition, in November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, which requires that amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. For public entities, the new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine the potential impact to its financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06, which clarifies the requirements to assess whether an embedded put or call option is clearly and closely related to the debt host, solely in accordance with the four step decision sequence in FASB ASB Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as amended by this ASU. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016 and should be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017 and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, which requires lessee recognition on the balance sheet of a right of use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. It further requires recognition in the income statement of a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight line basis. Finally, it requires classification of all cash payments within operating activities in the statements of cash flows. It is effective for fiscal years commencing after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-13, which provided additional implementation guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its financial statements and related disclosures and developing a strategy for implementation.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, which establishes a comprehensive new revenue recognition model designed to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU allows for the use of either the full or modified retrospective transition method. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which deferred ASU No. 2014-09 for one year, and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The FASB subsequently issued ASU No. 2016-08, ASU No. 2016-10, ASU No. 2016-11, ASU No. 2016-12, ASU No. 2016-20, and ASU No. 2017-13, which provided additional implementation guidance. The Company is in the final stages of its review of contracts in each of its revenue streams and has developed accounting policies to address the provisions of this ASU. While the Company does not expect operating income (loss) to be materially impacted, the Company does expect total revenues and total expenses to change as a result of certain percentage of proceeds contracts. Further, the Company has begun evaluating the design of its pre-adoption and adoption controls and expects new or modification of certain controls to address risks associated with recognizing revenue under the new standard as we continue the implementation process. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this and other provisions of the ASU on its accounting policies, internal controls, and consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and has not finalized any estimates of the potential impacts. The Company will

adopt this new standard on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.

Note 3—AcquisitionsFresh Start Reporting


July 2017 AcquisitionFresh Start Reporting


On July 7, 2017, the Company acquired an unaffiliated oil and gas company’s interests in approximately 12,500 net acres of leasehold, and primarily non-producing properties and producing properties located primarily in Adams County, Colorado, along with various other related rights, permits, contracts, equipment, rights of way, gathering systems and other assets (the "July 2017 Acquisition"). Upon closing the seller received total consideration of $84.0 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The effective date for the July 2017 Acquisition is July 1, 2017. This transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. The acquisition provides new development opportunities in the DJ Basin.

June 2017 Acquisition

On June 8, 2017, the Company acquired an unaffiliated oil and gas company’s interests in approximately 160 net acres of leasehold and related producing properties located in Weld County, Colorado (the “June 2017 Acquisition”). The Company paid approximately $13.4 million in cash consideration inIn connection with the closingCompany’s emergence from bankruptcy and in accordance with ASC 852, the Company qualified for and applied fresh start reporting on the Emergence Date. The Company was required to apply fresh start reporting due to the fact that (i) the holders of existing voting shares of the June 2017 Acquisition. The effective datePredecessor Company received less than 50% of the voting shares of the Successor Company, and (ii) the reorganization value (defined below) of the Company’s assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan of $1.4 billion was less than the $2.9 billion of post-petition liabilities and allowed claims.

As a result of the Company qualifying for fresh start reporting, a new reporting entity was considered to have been created; as a result and in accordance with ASC 852, the Company allocated the reorganization value of the Company to its individual assets, including property, plant and equipment, based on their estimated fair values in conformity with ASC Topic 820–Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) and ASC Topic 805–Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). As such, the condensed consolidated financial statements after January 20, 2021 are not comparable with the condensed consolidated financial statements as of or prior to that date.

Reorganization Value

Reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor Company’s assets before considering certain liabilities and is intended to represent the approximate amount a willing buyer would pay for the acquisitionCompany’s assets immediately after reorganization. Reorganization value is derived from an estimate of enterprise value, or fair value of the Company’s interest-bearing debt and stockholders’ equity. As set forth in the Plan and related disclosure statement, the enterprise value of the Successor Company was January 1, 2017, with purchase price adjustments calculatedestimated to be between $875.0 million to $1.275 billion. On the Emergence Date, the Successor Company’s estimated enterprise value was $1.052 billion before the consideration of cash and cash equivalents on hand, which falls slightly below the midpoint of this range. The enterprise value was derived from an independent valuation using an income approach to derive the fair value of the Company’s assets as of the closing dateEmergence Date. On the Emergence Date, pursuant to the terms of June 8, 2017. the Plan, the Successor Company entered into a $1.0 billion reserve-based credit agreement with an initial borrowing base of $500.0 million. Please see Note 4—Long-Term Debt for discussion of the Successor Company’s debt.

The acquisition increasedCompany’s principal assets are its oil and natural gas properties. The fair value of proved reserves was estimated using a discounted cash flows approach, which was based on the anticipated future cash flows associated with those proved reserves, risked by reserve category and discounted using a weighted average cost of capital rate of 11.0%. The proved reserve locations included in this analysis were limited to wells included in the Company's interestfive-year development plan. Future prices were based on forward strip price curves (adjusted for basis differentials). The fair value of the Company’s unproved reserves was estimated using a discounted cash flows approach. See further discussion below in existing operated wells. the section titled “Fresh Start Adjustments.”

For purposes of estimating the fair value of the Company's proved oil and gas properties, a discounted cash flows approach was used that estimated the fair value based on the anticipated future cash flows associated with the Company's proved reserves, risked by reserve category and discounted using a weighted average cost of capital rate of 11.0%. The proved reserve locations included in this analysis were limited to wells included in the Company's five-year development plan. Future prices for the income approach were based on forward strip price curves (adjusted for basis differentials) as of the Emergence Date.

November 2016 Acquisition

On November 22, 2016, the Company acquired an unaffiliated oil and gas company’s interest in approximately 9,200 net acres of unproved leaseholds located in the DJ Basin for approximately $120.0 million, including customary closing adjustments (the “November 2016 Acquisition”). This transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. The Company also made a $41.1 million deposit in November 2016 in conjunction with November 2016 Acquisition, which has been reflected in the December 31, 2016 consolidated balance sheet within the cash held in escrow line item. The deposit was made for two additional closings of leaseholds located in the DJ Basin. The first closing occurred in January 2017 and added approximately 5,300 net acres for approximately $26.8 million. The second closing occurred in July 2017 and added approximately 640 net acres for approximately $10.9 million.

October 2016 Acquisition

On October 3, 2016, the Company acquired an unaffiliated oil and gas company’s interests in approximately 6,400 net acres of leasehold, and related producing and non‑producing properties located primarily in Weld County, Colorado, along with various other related rights, permits, contracts, equipment, rights of way, gathering systems and other assets (the “October 2016 Acquisition” or the “Bayswater Acquisition”). The seller received aggregate consideration of approximately $405.3 million in cash. The effective date for the acquisition was July 1, 2016, with purchase price adjustments calculated as of the closing date on October 3, 2016. The acquisition provides new development opportunities in the DJ Basin as well as increases the Company’s existing working interest, as the majority of the locations are located on acreage in which the Company already owns a majority working interest and operates. The Company incurred $2.6 million of transaction costs related to the acquisition. These transaction costs were recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations within the acquisition transaction expenses line item, $0.3 million in transaction costs related to the acquisition were incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. No transaction costs related to the acquisition were incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The acquisition is accounted for using the acquisition method under ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires the acquired assets and liabilities to be recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date of October 3, 2016. In February 2017, the Company completed the transaction’s post-closing settlement.

Note 5—Commodity Derivative Instruments

The Company has entered into commodity derivative instruments, as described below. The Company has utilized swaps, put options and call options to reduce the effect of price changes on a portion of the Company’s future oil and natural gas production.

A swap has an established fixed price. When the settlement price is below the fixed price, the counterparty pays the Company an amount equal to the difference between the settlement price and the fixed price multiplied by the hedged contract volume. When the settlement price is above the fixed price, the Company pays its counterparty an amount equal to the difference between the settlement price and the fixed price multiplied by the hedged contract volume.

A put option has an established floor price. The buyer of the put option pays the seller a premium to enter into the put option. When the settlement price is below the floor price, the seller pays the buyer an amount equal to the difference between the settlement price and the strike price multiplied by the hedged contract volume. When the settlement price is above the floor price, the put option expires worthless. Some of the Company’s purchased put options have deferred premiums. For the deferred premium puts, the Company agrees to pay a premium to the counterparty at the time of settlement.

A call option has an established ceiling price. The buyer of the call option pays the seller a premium to enter into the call option. When the settlement price is above the ceiling price, the seller pays the buyer an amount equal to the difference between the settlement price and the strike price multiplied by the hedged contract volume. When the settlement price is below the ceiling price, the call option expires worthless.

The Company combines swaps, purchased put options, purchased call options, sold put options and sold call options in order to achieve various hedging strategies. Some examples of the Company’s hedging strategies are collars which include purchased put options and sold call options, three-way collars which include purchased put options, sold put options and sold call options, and enhanced swaps, which include either sold put options or sold call options with the associated premiums rolled into an enhanced fixed price swap.

The objective of the Company’s use of commodity derivative instruments is to achieve more predictable cash flows in an environment of volatile oil and gas prices and to manage its exposure to commodity price risk. While the use of these commodity derivative instruments limits the downside risk of adverse price movements, such use may also limit the Company’s ability to benefit from favorable price movements. The Company may, from time to time, add incremental derivatives to hedge additional production, restructure existing derivative contracts or enter into new transactions to modify the terms of current contracts in order to realize the current value of the Company’s existing positions. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes.

The use of derivatives involves the risk that the counterparties to such instruments will be unable to meet the financial terms of such contracts. The Company’s derivative contracts are currently with six counterparties. The Company has netting arrangements with the counterparties that provide for the offset of payables against receivables from separate derivative arrangements with the counterparties in the event of contract termination. The derivative contracts may be terminated by a non-defaulting party in the event of default by one of the parties to the agreement. There are no credit risk related contingent features or circumstances in which the features could be triggered in derivative instruments that are in a net liability position at the end of the reporting period.

Note 7—Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure, establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities that are observable for the asset or liability;
Level 3: Unobservable pricing inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations.

The financial assets and liabilities are classified 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 requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. There were no transfers between levels during any periods presented below.


The following table (in thousands) presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):hierarchy:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimatetable (in thousands) presents the fair value of the assets and liabilities in the table above:

Commodity Derivative Instruments

The Company determines its estimate of the fair value of derivative instruments using a market based approach that takes into account several factors, including quoted market prices in active markets, implied market volatility factors, quotes from third parties, the credit rating of each counterparty and the Company’s own credit rating. In consideration of counterparty credit risk, the Company assessed the possibility of whether each counterparty to the derivative would default by failing to make any contractually required payments. Additionally, the Company considers that it is of substantial credit quality and has the financial resources and willingness to meet its potential repayment obligations associated with the derivative transactions. Derivative instruments utilized by the Company consist of swaps, put options and call options. The oil and natural gas derivative markets are highly active. Although the Company’s derivative instruments are valued using public indices, the instruments themselves are traded with third party counterparties and are not openly traded on an exchange. As such, the Company has classified these instruments as Level 2.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, commodity derivative instruments (discussed above) and long-term debt. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are representative of their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The carrying amount of the Company’s credit facility approximated fair value as it bears interest at variable rates over the term of the loan. The fair value of the 2021 Senior Notes and 2024 Senior Notes were derived from available market data. As such, the Company has classified the 2021 Senior Notes and 2024 Senior Notes as Level 2. Please refer to Note 4 — Long‑Term Debt for further information. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the period.value. This disclosure (in thousands)table does not impact the Company’sCompany's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Non‑RecurringNon-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies the provisions of the fair value measurement standard on a non-recurring basis to its non-financial assets and liabilities, including proved property and goodwill. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments when facts and circumstances arise that indicate a need for remeasurement.


The Company utilizes fair value on a non-recurring basis to review its proved oil and gas properties for potential impairment when events and circumstances indicate a possible decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of such property. The Company uses an income approach analysis based on the net discounted future cash flows of producing property. The future cash flows are based on Management’smanagement’s estimates for the future. UnobservableThe unobservable inputs include listed below are Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy and include:

estimates of oil and gas production, as the case may be, from the Company’s reserve reports, reports;
commodity prices based on the sales contract terms and forward price curves, curves;
operating and development costscosts; and,
21

a discount rate based on a market-based weighted average cost of capital (all of which are Level 3 inputs withincapital.

For both the fair value hierarchy). Noperiods from January 1, 2021 to January 20, 2021 and January 21, 2021 to June 30, 2021, the Company recognized no impairment expense was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the three months ended September 30, 2016 on their proved oil and gas properties. For the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2020, the Predecessor Company recognized $22.4$0.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in impairment expense on its proved oil and gas properties related to impairment of assets in its northern field. The future undiscounted cash flowsfield as the fair value did not exceed the

Company’s Predecessor Company's carrying amount associated with its proved oil and gas properties in its northern field and it was determined that the proved oil and gas properties had no remaining fair value. Therefore, the full net book value of these proved oil and gas properties was impaired at September 30, 2016.field.


The Company applies the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. Goodwill represents the excessSee Note 3—Fresh Start Reporting for discussion of the purchase price over the estimated valuerevaluation of the net assets acquired in business combinations. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually on September 30, or whenever other circumstances or events indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. The goodwill test is performed at the reporting unit level, which represents the Company’s oil and gas operations in its core DJ Basin field. If indicators of impairment are determined to exist, an impairment charge is recognized if the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. Any sharp prolonged decreases in the prices of oil and natural gas as well as continued declines in the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares could change the estimates of the fair value of the reporting unit and could result in an impairment charge. The Company performed an assessment as of September 30, 2017, which concluded the fair value of the reporting unit was greater than its carrying amount.properties upon emergence from bankruptcy.


The Company’s other non-recurring fair value measurements include the purchase price allocations for the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired through business combinations, please refer to Note 3 — Acquisitions. The fair value of assets and liabilities acquired through business combinations is calculated using a discounted cash flow approach using level 3 inputs. Cash flow estimates require forecasts and assumptions for many years into the future for a variety of factors, including risk-adjusted oil and gas reserves, commodity prices, development costs and operating costs, based on market participant assumptions. The fair value of assets or liabilities associated with purchase price allocations is on a non-recurring basis and is not measured in periods after initial recognition.

Note 8—Income Taxes


The Company computes an estimated annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) each quarter based on the current and forecasted operating results. The income tax expense or benefit associated with the interim period is computed using the most recent estimated annual effective rateAETR applied to the year-to-date ordinary income or loss, plus the tax effect of any significant discrete or infrequently occurring items recorded during the interim period. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rateAETR at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgmentjudgements including, but not limited to, the expected operating income (loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various jurisdictions, permanent differences and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, and additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.


The effective combined U.S. federal and state income tax rate for the ninefollowing periods were as follows:

For the period from January 1, 2021 to January 20, 2021: 0
For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 was 35.3%. During2021: 16.29%
For the nineperiod from January 21, 2021 to June 30, 2021: 19.90%
For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020: 0
For the Company recognized income tax benefit of $7.6 million. six months ended June 30, 2020: (0.80)%

The effective rate fordiffers from the nine months ended September 30, 2017 differs fromamount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% primarily21% to pre-tax income due to (i) the effect of a full valuation allowance in effect at June 30, 2021, and (ii) the effects of state taxes, permanent taxable differences, and income taxes and estimated permanent differences. Includedattributable to non-controlling interest for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Net tax expense for the period January 1, 2021 to January 20, 2021 was reduced to zero due to the valuation allowance. Current tax expense for the period January 21, 2021 to June 30, 2021 was $28.1 million primarily as a discrete item duringresult of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers limited under Section 382 of the three months ended September 30, 2017Internal Revenue Service Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”) due to the change in control as referenced in Note 3—Fresh Start Reporting.

As described in Note 1—Business and Organization—Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Company’s filed Form 10-Q from the first quarter of 2021, in accordance with the Plan, the Company’s 2024 and 2026 Senior Notes were canceled and exchanged for New Common Stock. Absent an exception, a debtor recognizes cancellation of indebtedness income (“CODI”) upon discharge of its outstanding indebtedness for an amount of consideration that is less than its adjusted issue price. The Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) provides that a debtor in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case may exclude CODI from taxable income but must reduce certain of its tax attributes by the amount of any CODI realized as a result of the consummation of a plan of reorganization. The amount of CODI realized by a taxpayer is determined based on the fair market value of the consideration received by the creditors in settlement of outstanding indebtedness. Upon emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, the CODI may reduce some or all of the amount of prior tax attributes, which can include net operating losses, capital losses, alternative minimum tax credits and tax basis in assets. The actual reduction in tax attributes does not occur until January 1, 2022.

The Company has evaluated the impact of the reorganization, including the change in control, resulting from its emergence from bankruptcy. From an income tax perspective, the most significant impact is attributable to our carryover tax attributes associated with our net operating losses. On the date of emergence, the estimated NOL was approximately
22

$1.3 billion. The Company believes that the Successor Company will be able to fully absorb the cancellation of debt income realized by the Predecessor Company in connection with the reorganization with its adjusted NOL carryovers. The amount of the remaining NOL carryovers will be limited under Section 382 of the IRC due to the change in control as referenced in Note 3—Fresh Start Reporting. As the tax deficiency related to equity compensationbasis of the Company's assets, primarily our oil and gas properties, is in excess of compensation recognized for financial reporting. Thethe carrying value, as adjusted in the fresh-start accounting process, the Successor Company anticipatesis in a net deferred tax asset position. Per authoritative guidance, historical results along with expected market conditions known on the potential for increased periodic volatility indate of measurement, it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize future effectiveincome tax ratesbenefits from the impact of stock-based compensationadditional tax deductions as they are treated as discrete tax items. The Company’s accounting predecessor was a limited liability company that was not subject to U.S. federal income tax during the first nine months of 2016.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09 on January 1, 2017. There was no tax effect upon adoption asbasis and its remaining NOL carryovers. This is periodically reassessed and could change.

Extraction Long Term2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan


On January 20, 2021, as part of the emergence from bankruptcy, the Board adopted the Extraction 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2021 LTIP”) with a share reserve equal to 3,038,657 shares of New Common Stock. The 2021 LTIP provides for the grant of restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance awards and cash awards to the Company’s employees and non-employee Board members. At emergence, the Successor Company granted awards under the 2021 LTIP to its directors, officers and employees, including restricted stock units, performance stock units and deferred stock units.

2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan
In October 2016, the Predecessor Company’s board of directorsBoard adopted the Extraction Oil & Gas, Inc. 2016 Long TermLong-Term Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan” or “LTIP”LTIP”), pursuant to which employees, consultants, and directors of the Predecessor Company and its affiliates performing services for the Predecessor Company arewere eligible to receive awards. The 2016 Plan providesLTIP provided for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, bonus stock, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards, substitute awards, annual incentive awards, and performance awards intended to align the interests of participants with those of stockholders. In May 2019, the Predecessor Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the 2016 LTIP. The Company reserved 20.2amended and restated 2016 LTIP provided a total reserve of 32.2 million shares of common stockthe Predecessor Common Stock for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2016 LTIP.


Stock Options

Expense on Extraction granted awards under the 2016 LTIP to certain directors, officers and employees, including stock options, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service periodrestricted stock units, performance stock awards, performance stock units, performance cash awards and cash awards. Effective January 20, 2021, as part of the award lessemergence from bankruptcy, the 2016 LTIP was terminated and no longer in effect and all outstanding awards forfeited. The fair value of the stock options were measured at the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Thecancelled.

Successor Company utilizes the "simplified" method to estimate the expected term of the stock options granted as there is limited historical exercise data available in estimating the expected term of the stock options. Expected volatility is based on the volatility of the historical stock prices of the Company’s peer group. The risk-free rates are based on the yields of U.S. Treasury instruments with comparable terms. A dividend yield and forfeiture rate of zero were assumed.Restricted Stock options grantedUnits (“RSUs”)

RSUs issued under the 2021 LTIP vest ratably over three years and are exercisable immediately upon vesting through the tenth anniversary of the grant date. To fulfill options exercised, the Company will issue new shares.

The Company recorded $3.3 million and $9.9 million of stock-based compensation costs related to the stock options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. These costs were included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations within the general and administrative expenses line item. The Company did not record any stock-based compensation expense related to stock options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2017, there was $26.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

Incentive Restricted Stock Units

Officers ofRSUs issued under the Company contributed 2.7 million shares of common stock to Extraction Employee Incentive, LLC (“Employee Incentive”), which is owned solely by certain officers of the Company. Employee Incentive issued restricted stock units (“Incentive RSUs”) to certain employees. Incentive RSUs2016 LTIP generally vested over either a three yearone or three-year service period, with either 100% vesting in year one or 25%, 25% and 50% of the units vesting in yearyears one, two and three, respectively.

As of January 1, 2017, the Company elected to account for stock-based compensation forfeitures as they occur, as a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09. As the vesting of any Incentive RSUs will be satisfied with shares of common stock that are already issued and outstanding, the Incentive RSUs do not have any impact on the Company’s diluted earnings per share calculation.

Successor Company Performance Unit Awards (“PSUs”)

Upon emergence from bankruptcy on January 20, 2021, the Successor Company granted PSUs to certain executives under the 2021 LTIP. The number of shares of New Common Stock that may be issued to settle these various PSUs ranges from zero to two times the number of PSUs awarded. Generally, the shares issued for PSUs are determined based on the satisfaction of a time-based vesting schedule and absolute total stockholder return (“ATSR”) measured over a three-year period, and vest in their entirety at the end of the three-year measurement period. Any PSUs that have not vested at the end of the applicable measurement period are forfeited. As the ATSR vesting criterion are linked to the Successor Company's share price, it is considered a market condition for purposes of calculating the grant-date fair value of the awards.

The fair value of the Successor Company’s PSUs was measured at the grant date with a stochastic process method using a Monte Carlo simulation. A stochastic process is a mathematically defined equation that can create a series of outcomes over time. Those outcomes are not deterministic in nature, which means that by iterating the equations multiple times, different results will be obtained for those iterations. In the case of the Successor Company's PSUs, the Company cannot predict with certainty the path its stock price or the stock prices of its peers will take over the performance period. By using a stochastic simulation, the Company can create multiple prospective stock pathways, statistically analyze these simulations, and ultimately make inferences regarding the most likely path the stock price will take. As such, and because future stock prices are stochastic, the stochastic method, specifically the Monte Carlo Model, is deemed an appropriate method by which to determine the fair value of the PSUs. Significant assumptions used in this simulation include the Company's expected volatility, risk-free interest rate based on U.S. Treasury yield curve rates with maturities consistent with the measurement period as well as the volatilities for each of the Company's peers.

The Successor Company recorded $0.5 million and $0.9 million of stock-based compensation costs related to Successor Company PSUs for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and for the period from January 21, 2021 through June 30, 2021, respectively.

Predecessor Company Performance Stock Awards (“PSAs”)

The Predecessor Company granted PSAs to certain executives under the 2016 LTIP in October 2017, March 2018, April 2019 and March 2020. The number of shares of Predecessor Common Stock that may be issued to settle these various PSAs ranges from zero to two times the number of PSAs awarded. PSAs that settle in cash were presented as liability awards. Generally, the shares issued for PSAs were determined based on the satisfaction of a time-based vesting schedule and a weighting of one or more of the following: (i) ATSR, (ii) relative total stockholder return (“RTSR”), as compared to the Predecessor Company's peer group and (iii) cash return on capital invested (“CROCI”) or return on invested capital (“ROIC”) measured over a three-year period and vest in their entirety at the end of the three-year measurement period. Any PSAs that have not vested at the end of the applicable measurement period were forfeited. The vesting criterion that was associated with the RTSR was based on a comparison of the Predecessor Company's total shareholder return for the measurement period compared to that of a group of peer companies for the same measurement period. As the ATSR and RTSR vesting criteria were linked to the Predecessor Company's share price, they each were considered a market condition for purposes of calculating the grant-date fair value of the awards. The vesting criterion that was associated with the CROCI and ROIC were considered a performance condition for purposes of calculating the grant-date fair value of the awards.

The fair value of the Predecessor Company’s PSAs were measured at the grant date with a stochastic process method using a Monte Carlo simulation. A stochastic process is a mathematically defined equation that can create a series of outcomes over time.

Successor Company Deferred Stock Units (“DSUs”)

Upon emergence from bankruptcy on January 20, 2021, a new Board was appointed and each Board member (except the CEO) was granted 16,800 Successor Company DSUs, which vest in quarterly installments over a one-year period following the grant date. The Successor Company DSUs will be settled in shares of New Common Stock upon the Board member’s departure from the Company; thus, these DSUs may not be included in the Successor Company’s issued and outstanding shares, potentially for several years. Grant date fair value was determined based on the value of the Successor Company’s New Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the 2021 LTIP. The Company assumed a forfeiture rate of 0 as part of the grant date estimate of compensation cost.

Note 10—11—Earnings (Loss) Per Share


Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company.

The Company uses the “if-converted” method to determine potential dilutive effects of the Company’s outstanding Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and the treasury method to determine the potential dilutive effects of outstanding restricted stock awards and stock options. The basic weighted average shares outstanding calculation is based on the actual days in which the shares were outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. EPS information is not applicable for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil, natural gas, and NGL 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.engineers and management. In addition, the

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY


We are an independent oil and gas company focused on the acquisition, development and production of oil, natural gas and NGL reserves in the Rocky Mountain region, primarily in the Wattenberg Field of the DJ Basin.Denver-Julesburg Basin of Colorado. We have developed an oil, natural gas and NGL asset base of proved reserves, as well as a portfolio of development drilling opportunities on high resource‑potentialresource-potential leasehold on contiguous acreage blocks in some of the most productive areas of what we consider to be the core of the DJ Basin.

Financial Results


Our results of operations as reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods January 21, 2021 through June 30, 2021 (“Successor”), January 1, 2021 through January 20, 2021 (“Predecessor”), three months ended June 30, 2021 (“Successor”), and the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (“Predecessor”) are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Although GAAP requires that we report on our results for the Successor and Predecessor periods separately, management views our operating results for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 by combining the results of the Predecessor and Successor periods because management believes such presentation provides the most meaningful comparison of our results to prior periods. We are not able to compare the 20 days from January 1, 2021 through January 20, 2021 operating results to any of the previous periods reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and do not believe reviewing this period in isolation would be useful in identifying any trends in or reaching any conclusions regarding our overall operating performance. We believe the key performance indicators such as operating revenues and expenses for the Successor period combined with the Predecessor period provide more meaningful comparisons to other periods and are useful in understanding operational trends. Additionally, there were no changes in policies between the periods and any material impacts as a result of fresh start reporting were included within the discussion of these changes. These combined results do not comply with GAAP and have not been prepared as pro forma results under applicable regulations, but are presented because we believe they provide the most meaningful comparison of our results to prior periods.

For the three and ninecombined six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, crude oil, natural gas and NGL sales, coupled with the impact of settled derivatives, increased to $183.7$204.4 million and $384.3$486.2 million, respectively, as compared to $77.6$94.5 million and $215.9$299.0 million, respectively, in the same prior year periods due to an increase in sales volumes of 3,122 MBoe and 5,380 MBoe, respectively. The increase in crude oil, natural gas and NGL sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same prior year period was also due to an increase of $2.64$17.95 and $0.94,$18.64, respectively, in realized price per BOE, including settled derivatives.derivatives, partially offset by a decrease in sales volumes of approximately 1,347 MBoe and 3,480 MBoe, respectively.

How We Evaluate Our Operations


We use a variety ofvarious financial and operational metrics to assess the performance of our oil and gas operations, including:


Sources of revenue;
Sales volumes;
Realized prices on the sale of oil, natural gas and NGL, including the effect of our commodity derivative contracts;
Lease operating expenses (“LOE”);expenses;
Capital expenditures; and

Adjusted EBITDAX (a Non-GAAPnon-GAAP measure).;
Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure); and
Combined Predecessor period January 1, 2021 to January 20, 2021 and Successor period January 21, 2021 to June 30, 2021 (a non-GAAP measure) for comparison purposes in MD&A.
Sources of Revenues


Our revenues are derived from the sale of our oil and natural gas production, as well as the sale of NGLNGLs that are extracted from our natural gas during processing. Our oil, natural gas and NGL revenues do not include the effects of derivatives. For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, our revenues were derived 73% from oil sales, 14% from natural gas sales and 13% from NGL sales. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, our revenues were derived 71%62% from oil sales, 18% from natural gas sales and 11%20% from NGL sales. For the ninethree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, our revenues were derived 69%58% from oil sales, 16%25% from natural gas sales and 15%17% from NGL sales. For the ninecombined six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2021, our revenues were derived 74%52% from oil sales, 15%32% from natural gas sales and 11%16% from NGL sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our revenues were derived 71% from oil sales, 17% from natural gas sales and 12% from NGL sales. Our revenues may vary significantly from period to period as a result of changes in volumes of production sold or changes in commodity prices.

As reservoir pressure declines,pressures decline, production from a given well or formation decreases. Growth or maintenance in our future production and reserves will depend on our ability to continue to add or develop proved reserves in excess of our production. Accordingly, we plan to maintain our focus on adding reserves through organic growth as well as acquisitions. Our ability to add reserves through development projects and acquisitions is dependent on many factors, including takeaway capacity in our areas of operation and our ability to raise capital, obtain regulatory approvals, procure contract drilling rigs and personnel and successfully identify and consummate acquisitions. Please readrefer to “Risks Related to the Oil, Natural Gas and NGL Industry and Our Business” in Item 1A.1A of ourthe Company’s Annual Report for a further description of the risks that affect us.


Realized Prices on the Sale of Oil, Natural Gas and NGL


Our results of operations depend upon many factors, particularly the price of oil, natural gas and NGL and our ability to market our production effectively. Oil, natural gas and NGL prices are among the most volatile of all commodity prices. For example, during the period from January 1, 20142019 to SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) oil prices ranged from a high of $107.26$74.05 per Bbl to a low of $26.21negative $37.63 per Bbl. Average daily prices for NYMEX Henry Hub gas prices ranged from a high of $6.15$3.65 per MMBtu to a low of $1.64$1.48 per MMBtu during the same period. DeclinesFluctuations in and continued depression of, the price of oil and natural gas occurring during 20152019, 2020 and continuing into 20172021 are due to a combination of factors including increased U.S. supply, global economic concerns stemming from COVID-19, the price war between Russia and geopolitical risks.OPEC+, and the 2021 Texas Power crisis. These price variationsfluctuations can have a material impact on our financial results and capital expenditures.


Oil pricing is predominatelypredominantly driven by the physical market,fluctuations in supply and demand, including as a result of production and storage capacity, financial markets, and national and international politics.geopolitical factors. The NYMEX WTI futures price is a widely used benchmark in the pricing of domestic and imported oil in the United States. The actual prices realized from the sale of oil differ from the quoted NYMEX WTI price as a result of quality and location differentials. In the DJ Basin, oil is sold under various purchase contracts with monthly pricing provisions based on NYMEX pricing, adjusted for differentials.


36

Natural gas prices vary by region and locality, depending upon the distance to markets, availability of pipeline capacity and supply and demand relationships in that region or locality. The NYMEX Henry Hub price of natural gas is a widely used benchmark for the pricing of natural gas in the United States. Similar to oil, the actual prices realized from the sale of natural gas differ from the quoted NYMEX Henry Hub price as a result of quality and location differentials. For example, wet natural gas with a high Btu content sells at a premium to dry natural gas with a low Btu content dry natural gas because it yields a greater quantity of NGL. Location differentials to NYMEX Henry Hub prices result from variances in transportation costs based on the natural gas’

proximity to the major consuming markets to which it is ultimately delivered. Also affecting the differential is the processing fee deduction retained by the natural gas processing plant, generally in the form of percentage of proceeds. The price we receive for our natural gas produced in the DJ Basin is based on CIG prices, adjusted for certain deductions.


Our price for NGL produced in the DJ Basin is based on a combination of prices from Mont Belvieu in Texas and the Conway hub in Kansas and Mont Belvieu in Texas where this production is marketed.


The following table provides the high and low prices for NYMEX WTI and NYMEX Henry Hub prompt month contract prices and our differential to the average of those benchmark prices for the periods indicated. The differential varies, but our oil, natural gas and NGLNGLs normally sellssell at a discount to the NYMEX WTI and NYMEX Henry Hub price, as applicable.

Derivative Arrangements

To achieve more predictable cash flow and to reduce our exposure to adverse fluctuations in commodity prices, from time to time, we enter into derivative arrangements for our oil and natural gas production. By removing a significant portion of price volatility associated with our oil and natural gas production, we believe we will mitigate, but not eliminate, the potential negative effects of reductions in oil and natural gas prices on our cash flow from operations for those periods. However, in a portion of our current positions, our hedging activity may also reduce our ability to benefit from increases in oil and natural gas prices. We will sustain losses to the extent our derivatives contract prices are lower than market prices and, conversely, we will realize gains to the extent our derivatives contract prices are higher than market prices. In certain circumstances, where we have unrealized gains in our derivative portfolio, we may choose to restructure existing derivative contracts or enter into new transactions to modify the terms of current contracts in order to realize the current value of our existing positions. See “—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk—Commodity Price Risk” for information regarding our exposure to market risk, including the effects of changes in commodity prices, and our commodity derivative contracts.
We will continue to use commodity derivative instruments to hedge our price risk in the future. Our hedging strategy and future hedging transactions will be determined at our discretion and may be different than what we have done on a historical basis. As a result of recent volatility in the price of oil and natural gas, weWe have relied on a variety of hedging strategies and instruments to hedge our future price risk. We have utilized swaps, put options and call options, which in some instances require the payment of a premium, to reduce the effect of price changes on a portion of our future oil and natural gas production. We expect to continue to use a variety of hedging strategies and instruments for the foreseeable future.
A swap has an established fixed price. When the settlement price is below the fixed price, the counterparty pays The RBL Credit Agreement requires us an amount equal to the difference between the settlement price and the fixed price multiplied by the hedged contract volume. When the settlement price is above the fixed price, we pay our counterparty an amount equal to the difference between the settlement price and the fixed price multiplied by the hedged contract volume.
A put option has an established floor price. The buyermaintain commodity hedges covering a minimum of the put option pays the seller a premium to enter into the put option. When the settlement price is below the floor price, the seller pays the buyer an amount equal to the difference between the settlement price and the strike price multiplied by the hedged contract volume. When the settlement price is above the floor price, the put option expires worthless. Some65% of our purchased put options have deferred premiums. Foranticipated oil and gas production from PDP reserves for the deferred premium puts, we agreed to pay a premium tosucceeding twelve months and 50% of our anticipated oil and gas production from PDP reserves for the counterpartynext succeeding twelve months.
The hedge prices will depend on the commodity price environment at the time of settlement.
A call option has an established ceiling price. The buyer of the call option pays the seller a premium to enter into the call option. When the settlement price is above the ceiling price, the seller pays the buyer an amount equal to the difference between the settlement price and the strike price multiplied by the hedged contract volume. When the settlement price is below the ceiling price, the call option expires worthless.
We combine swaps, purchased put options, sold put options and sold call options in order to achieve various hedging strategies. Some examples of our hedging strategiesat which those hedge transactions are collars which include purchased put options and sold call options, three-way collars which include purchased put options, sold put options and sold call options, and enhanced swaps, which include either sold put options or sold call options with the associated premiums rolled into an enhanced fixed price swap. We have historically relied on commodity derivative contracts to mitigate our exposure to lower commodity prices.

We have historically been able to hedge our oil and natural gas production at prices that are significantly higher than current strip prices. However, inentered. In the current commodity price environment, our ability to enter into comparable derivative arrangements at favorable prices may be limited, and, we are not obligated to hedgelimited.

Lease Operating Expenses


All direct and allocated indirect costs of lifting hydrocarbons from a producing formation to the surface constituteconstitutes part of the current operating expenses of a working interest. Such costs include labor, superintendence, supplies, repairs, maintenance, water injection and disposal costs, allocated overhead charges, workover, insurance and other expenses incidental to production, but exclude lease acquisition or drilling andor completion expenses. LOE also includes expenses incurred to gather and deliver natural gas to the processing plant and/or selling point.


Capital Expenditures


For the ninecombined six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, we incurred approximately $701.1$78.8 million in drilling and completion capital expenditures in connection withexpenditures. For the drilling of 141combined six months ended June 30, 2021, we drilled 20 gross (98(12.5 net) wells with an average lateral length of approximately 8,700 feet2.2 miles and completed 15639 gross (133(26.7 net) wells with an average lateral

Previously, our 2021 capital budget excludes any amounts that were or may be paidwas $142 million, which included $130 million for potential acquisitions.

The amount and timing of these capital expenditures is within our control and subject to our management’s discretion. We retain the flexibility to defer a portion of these planned capital expenditures depending on a variety of factors, including but not limited to the success of our drilling activities, prevailing and anticipated prices for oil, natural gas and NGL, the availability of necessary equipment, infrastructure and capital, the receipt and timing of required regulatory permits and approvals, seasonal conditions, drilling and acquisition costscompletions activity and the level$12 million for plugging and abandoning and other activity.

Adjusted EBITDAX


Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income (loss) as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) adjusted for certain cash and non-cash items including depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion ("DD&A"), impairmentshown in the table below, which presents a reconciliation of long lived assets, exploration expenses, rig termination fees, acquisition transaction expenses, commodity derivative (gain) loss, settlements on commodity derivatives, premiums paidAdjusted EBITDAX to the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) for derivatives that settled duringeach of the period, unit and stock-based compensation expense, amortizationperiods indicated (in thousands).

Management believes Adjusted EBITDAX is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed in the table above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital, hedging strategy and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDAX. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to other similarly titled measure of other companies. We believe that Adjusted EBITDAX is a widely followed measure of operating performance. Additionally, our management team believes Adjusted EBITDAX is useful to an investor in evaluating our financial performance because this measure:


(i) is widely used by investors in the oil and natural gas industry to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such term, among other factors;

(ii) 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

(iii) is used by our management team for various purposes, including as a measure of operating performance, in presentations to our board of directors,Board, as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

Free Cash Flow

Our Free Cash Flow is not a measure of and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined by GAAP. We define Free Cash Flow as Discretionary Cash Flow (non-GAAP) less Adjusted Cash Flow used in Investing (non-GAAP) adjusted for Other Non-Recurring Adjustments (non-GAAP). Discretionary Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) before changes in working capital accounts (current assets and liabilities). Adjusted Cash Flow used in Investing is defined as cash flow used in investing activities (GAAP) adjusted for changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to capital expenditures.

Free Cash Flow is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We believe Free Cash Flow can provide additional transparency into the drivers of trends in our operating cash flows, such as production, realized sales prices and operating costs, as it disregards the timing of settlement of operating assets and liabilities. We believe Free Cash Flow provides additional information that may be useful in an analysis of our ability to generate cash to fund exploration and development activities and to return capital to stockholders.

Items Affecting the Comparability of Our Financial Results


Our historical results of operations for the periods presented may not be comparable, either to each other or to our future results of operations, for the reasons described below:

Upon emerging from bankruptcy on January 20, 2021, we recorded our consolidated balance sheet accounts at fair value. See Note 3—Fresh Start Reporting in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Now, the Successor period January 21, 2021 to June 30, 2021 is not comparable to the Predecessor period from January 1, 2021 to January 20, 2021 and in relation to the first six months of 2020. We illustrate this lack of comparability by using a black line in tables to separate Predecessor Company amounts from Successor Company amounts. We overcome this lack of comparability by combining the Predecessor and Successor periods so they can be viewed in relation to the first six months of 2020.
On October 3, 2016,During the Chapter 11 Cases, our financial results were volatile as restructuring activities and expenses, contract terminations and rejections, and claims assessments significantly impacted our financial results. For the combined six months ended June 30, 2021, prior to emergence, we acquired additionalrealized an $873.9 million reorganization items, net gain. As a result, our historical financial performance is likely not indicative of financial performance after the date of the bankruptcy filing. Despite the Company’s emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, claim assessments will continue for the foreseeable future.
For the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, exploration and abandonment expenses decreased primarily due to the abandonment of $169.6 million in unproved properties during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Abandoned properties for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 were $2.4 million. During the first quarter of 2021 we emerged from bankruptcy where we revalued our oil and gas properties primarily locatedproperties. See Note 3—Fresh Start Reporting in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for information related to our asset and liability values upon emergence.
Elevation Midstream, LLC was deconsolidated as of March 16, 2020 and accounted for as an equity method investment. We elected the fair value option to remeasure the Elevation Midstream, LLC equity method investment and determined it had no fair value. We recorded a $73.1 million loss on deconsolidation of Elevation Midstream, LLC in the Wattenberg Field located primarily around our existing Greeley and Windsor areas. The October 2016 Acquisition consistedcondensed consolidated statements of working interest in approximately 6,400 net acres and 31 gross (19 net) drilled but uncompleted wells, as ofoperations for the date of acquisition. The October 2016 Acquisition provided net daily production of approximately 6,900 BOE/d during the fourth quarter 2016.
As a result of the initial public offering (“IPO”), we expect to incur additional general and administrative expenses related to being a public company, including Exchange Act reporting expenses; expenses associated with Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance; expenses associated with listing on the NASDAQ Global Select Market; incremental independent auditor fees; incremental legal fees; investor relations expenses; registrar and transfer agent fees; incremental director and officer liability insurance costs; and directors compensation.
In October 2016, our board of directors adopted the Extraction Oil & Gas, Inc. 2016 Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") and granted awards to certain directors and officers, including stock options and restricted stock units. We recognized $18.1 million and $46.7 million of stock-based compensation expense for three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 related to these awards.2020.
Prior to the Corporate Reorganization, we were not subject to federal or state income taxes. Accordingly, the financial data attributable to us prior to such corporate reorganization contain no provision for federal or state income taxes because the tax liability with respect to Holdings’ taxable income was passed through to its members. Beginning October 12, 2016, we began to be taxed as a C corporation under the Internal Revenue Code and subject to federal and state income taxes at a blended statutory rate

(1) One BOE is equal to six Mcf of natural gas or one Bbl of oil or NGL based on an approximate energy equivalency. This is an energy content correlation and does not reflect a value or price relationship between the commodities.
(2) Average prices shown in the table reflect prices both before and after the effects of our settlements of our commodity derivative contracts. Our calculation of such effects includes both gains and losses on settlements for commodity derivatives on swaps that settled during the period.
(3) Includes non-cash amounts allocated to a satisfied performance obligation, recognized within oil sales for the Predecessor three months ended June 30, 2020, pursuant to ASC 606.
(4) During the first quarter of 2021, a large portion of our gas and NGL contracts were subject to daily prices versus a monthly average price. As a result, our realized prices benefited from several days of severe cold during February 2021.
(5) Cash general and administrative expenses for the Predecessor three months ended June 30, 2020 includes expense of $0.3 million related to the terms of a separation agreement with one former executive officer. Excluding this one-time expense results in cash general and administrative expense per BOE of $2.68 for the Predecessor three months ended June 30, 2020.
(6) Excludes impairment of long-lived assets and other operating expenses.
(7) Production taxes as percentage of revenue during the Successor three months ended June 30, 2021 is lower than the rate that can be expected going forward due to a true up of ad valorem taxes pursuant to a reduction in estimated rates.

An increase in crude oil prices contributed a $114.2 million positive impact, and a decrease in sales volumes between these periods contributed a $76.0$11.4 million positive impact, while an increase in crude oil prices contributed a $4.3 million positivenegative impact.

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, crude oil revenue decreased by approximately $3.9 million due to the impact of the increase in the forecasted deferral balance on one of our revenue contracts. Pursuant to ASC 606, the contract term impacts the amount of consideration that could be included in the transaction price, which reduced oil sales revenue.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, crude oil revenue decreased $3.9 million due to the contract term impacting the amount of consideration that can be included in the transaction price, which reduced oil sales revenue pursuant to ASC 606. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, no such decrease in crude oil revenue was recorded.


Natural gas sales revenues. Natural gas sales revenues increased by $11.9$23.5 million to $24.7$39.5 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 as compared to natural gas sales revenues of $12.8$16.0 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2020. An increase in natural gas prices contributed a $25.1 million positive impact, while a decrease in sales volumes between these periods contributed a $11.1$1.6 million positive impact, while an increase in natural gas prices contributed a $0.8 million positive impact due to increasing natural gas prices.negative impact.


For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, our natural gas sales averaged 97.3174.0 MMcf/d. Natural gas sales volumes increaseddecreased by 87%1,709 to 8,95315,834 MMcf for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 as compared to 4,79217,543 MMcf for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2020. The volume increasedecrease is primarily due to the completion of 172 gross wells from October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2017, partially offset by the natural decline on existing producing properties.properties, partially offset by the completion of 40 gross wells from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, since during the second half of 2020 and in early 2021 prior to emergence from bankruptcy, our drilling program had been suspended.


The average price we realized on the sale of our natural gas was $2.76$2.49 per Mcf for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 compared to $2.67$0.91 per Mcf for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2020, primarily due to an increase in pricing as compared to the three months ending June 30, 2020.


NGL sales revenues.

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, our NGL sales averaged 12.121.8 MBbl/d. NGL sales volumes increased by 93%8 to 1,1091,987 MBbl for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 as compared to 5741,979 MBbl for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2020. The volume increase is primarily due to the completion of 17240 gross wells from OctoberJuly 1, 20162020 to SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, partially offset by the natural decline on existing producing properties. Our NGL sales are directly associated with our natural gas sales because our natural gas volumes are processed by third parties for both residue natural gas sales and NGL sales.


The average price we realized on the sale of our NGL was $21.74$22.67 per Bbl for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 compared to $14.54$5.47 per Bbl for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2020, primarily due to an increase in pricing as compared to the three months ending June 30, 2020.


Lease operating expenses.expenses (“LOE”). Our LOE increaseddecreased by $13.8$9.3 million to $29.3$13.7 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, from $15.5$23.0 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016. The increase in LOE was comprised of an increase in transportation and gathering (“T&G”) expense of $7.8 million2020. While oil revenue increased for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 compared2021, oil volumes were down for the reasons mentioned above. This allowed the company to optimize our field cost structure during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016 and an increase in operating expenses of $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in LOE was primarily the result of an increase in producing wells and in both residue natural gas and NGL sales volumes and realized prices, resulting in collectively higher T&G fees.

2021. On a per unit basis, LOE decreased from $5.81 to $1.97 per BOE sold for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162021 from $2.76 per BOE for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Transportation and gathering (“T&G”). Our T&G expense decreased by $4.7 million to $5.06$21.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $26.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in T&G was primarily due to revenue contract changes and a decrease in production during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. On a per unit basis, T&G decreased to $3.09 per BOE sold for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017. The decrease in LOE2021 compared to $3.16 per BOE is primarily a result of flush production on several new pads turned-in-line duringsold for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2020.

Production taxes. Our production taxes increased by $10.1$6.2 million to $16.3$10.9 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 as compared to $6.2$4.7 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2020. The increase is primarily attributable to increased revenue as production taxes are calculated as a percentage of sales revenue. Production taxes as a

percentage of sales revenue was 9.0%were 4.9% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 as compared to 8.5%7.4% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016. The increase in production taxes as a percentage of sales revenue relates to a change in the estimated tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017.2020.


Exploration and abandonment expenses. Our exploration and abandonment expenses were $7.2$3.6 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017. We recognized $4.6 million in expense attributable to the extension of certain leases, $1.4 million attributable to exploratory geological and geophysical costs and $1.2 million in impairment expense attributable to the abandonment and impairment of unproved properties for the three months ended September 30, 2017.2021. For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2020, we recognized $6.0$62.7 million in exploration and abandonment expenses. The decrease in abandonment expense during 2021 was because our assets were fair valued upon emergence from bankruptcy on January 20, 2021.


Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense.expense (“DD&A”). Our DD&A expense increased $47.5decreased $32.5 million to $94.2$50.1 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 as compared to $46.7$82.6 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016. This increase is due to an increase in volumes sold for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as sales increased by approximately 3,122 MBoe.2020. On a per unit basis, DD&A expense decreased from $17.53 to $7.18 per BOE for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016 to $16.292021 from $9.93 per BOE for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2020. These decreases are due to the $326.0 million downward fair value adjustment to the depletable asset base upon adoption of fresh start reporting, as well as an impairment of $208.5 million of proved oil and gas properties that occurred during 2020.


General and administrative expenses.expenses (“G&A”). General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increaseddecreased by $8.6$14.2 million to $28.7$10.9 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 as compared to $20.1$25.1 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2020. This increasedecrease is primarily due to an increasereductions of workforce during 2020 and a decrease in our employee head count and unit and stock-based compensationpre-petition advisory fees recognized for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 compared to the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2021.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses decreased by $7.8 million as compared to unit-based compensation of $12.3$5.4 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016. The increase2021 as compared to $13.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease is due primarily to additional equity awards grantednon-recurring early termination penalties of $11.9 million, which includes a $9.5 million early termination fee related to employees as partthe termination of our 2016 Long Term Incentive Plan that was adoptedcrude oil marketing contract and a $2.4 million rig termination fee. The decrease is also due to a $2.2 million reduction of restructuring expenses from period to period. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in October 2016 in connection with our IPO.merger and acquisition costs of $6.6 million.


Commodity derivative gain (loss).loss. Primarily due to the increase in NYMEX crude oil futuresfuture prices at SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 as compared to June 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and change in fair value from the execution of new positions, we incurred a net loss on our commodity derivatives of $37.9$75.8 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2021. Primarily due to the decreaseincrease in NYMEX crude oil futures prices at SeptemberJune 30, 20162020 as compared to March 31, 2020 and change in fair value from the execution and unwinds of hedged positions, we incurred a net loss on our commodity derivatives of $69.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 20162020. These losses are a result of our hedging program, which is used to mitigate our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. The fair value of the open commodity derivative instruments will continue to change in value until the transactions are settled and we will likely add to our hedging program in the future. Therefore, we expect our net income (loss) to reflect the volatility of commodity price forward markets. Our cash flow will only be affected upon settlement of the transactions at the current market prices at that time. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we paid commodity derivatives totaling $19.2 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we received settlements of commodity derivatives totaling $127.4 million.

Also included in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and the three months ended June 30, 2020 was the amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.5 million and $1.9 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and the three months ended June 30, 2020, we capitalized interest expense of $0.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Income tax expense. We recorded $4.8 million of income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and no income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This resulted in an effective tax rate of approximately 16.29% and zero for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our effective tax rates differ from the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the effects of state income taxes, estimated taxable permanent differences, and valuation allowance.

Commodity derivative gain (loss). Primarily due to the increase in NYMEX crude oil futures prices at June 30, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020 and change in fair value from the execution of new positions, we incurred a net gainloss on our commodity derivatives of $16.2$116.9 million for the threecombined six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016, including2021. Primarily due to the amortizationdecrease in NYMEX crude oil futures prices at June 30, 2020 as compared to December 31, 2019 and change in fair value from the execution of premiums.new positions and unwinds of existing positions, we incurred a net gain on our commodity derivatives of $193.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. These gains and losses are a result of our hedging program, which is used to mitigate our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. The fair value of the open commodity derivative instruments will continue to change in value until the transactions are settled and we will likely add to our hedging program in the future. Therefore, we expect our net income (loss) to reflect the volatility of commodity price forward markets.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

Oil sales revenues. Crude oil sales revenues increased by $133.7 million to $269.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to crude oil sales of $135.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. An increase in sales volumes between these periods contributed a $95.9 million positive impact, while an increase in crude oil prices contributed a $37.8 million positive impact.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our crude oil sales averaged 23.8 MBbl/d. Our crude oil sales volume increased 71% to 6,496 MBbl for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 3,808 MBbl for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The volume increase is primarily due to an increase in production from the completion of 172 gross wells from October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2017, partially offset by the natural decline of our existing properties.

The average price we realized on the sale of crude oil was $41.50 per Bbl for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $35.68 per Bbl for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Natural gas sales revenues. Natural gas sales revenues increased by $35.4 million to $63.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to natural gas sales revenues of $27.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. An increase in sales volumes between these periods contributed an $19.1 million positive impact, while an increase in natural gas prices contributed a $16.3 million positive impact.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our natural gas sales averaged 79.5 MMcf/d. Natural gas sales volumes increased by 69% to 21,713 MMcf for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 12,851 MMcf for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The volume increase is primarily due to the completion of 172 gross wells from October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2017, partially offset by the natural decline on existing producing properties.

The average price we realized on the sale of our natural gas was $2.91 per Mcf for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $2.16 per Mcf for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

NGL sales revenues. NGL sales revenues increased by $37.8 million to $57.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to NGL sales revenues of $19.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. An increase in sales volumes between these periods contributed a $16.3 million positive impact, while an increase in price contributed a $21.5 million positive impact.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our NGL sales averaged 9.9 MBbl/d. NGL sales volumes increased by 82% to 2,695 MBbl for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 1,479 MBbl for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The volume increase is primarily due to the completion of 172 gross wells from October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2017, partially offset by the natural decline on existing producing properties. Our NGL sales are directly associated with our natural gas sales because our natural gas volumes are processed by third parties for both residue natural gas sales and NGL sales.

The average price we realized on the sale of our NGL was $21.36 per Bbl for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $13.37 per Bbl for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Lease operating expenses. Our LOE increased by $35.0 million to $75.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $40.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in LOE was primarily the result of an increase in producing wells.

On a per unit basis, LOE increased from $5.49 per BOE sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $5.91 per BOE sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in LOE was comprised of an increase in T&G expense of $19.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and an increase in operating expenses of $15.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the

nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in LOE was primarily the result of an increase in both residue natural gas and NGL sales volumes and realized prices, resulting in collectively higher T&G fees.

Production taxes. Our production taxes increased by $16.4 million to $33.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $16.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily attributable to increased revenue as production taxes are calculated as a percentage of sales revenue. Production taxes as a percentage of sales revenue was 8.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 9.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in production taxes as a percentage of sales revenue relates to a change in the estimated tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Exploration expenses. Our exploration expenses were $24.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We recognized $16.9 million in expense attributable to the extension of certain leases, $1.4 million attributable to exploratory geological and geophysical costs and $5.7 million in impairment expense attributable to the abandonment and impairment of unproved properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized $14.7 million in exploration expenses.

Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. Our DD&A expense increased $72.2 million to $213.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $141.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase is due to an increase in volumes sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as sales increased by approximately 5,380 MBoe. On a per unit basis, DD&A expense decreased from $19.02 per BOE for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $16.67 per BOE for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Impairment of long lived assets. Our impairment expense was $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We recognized this expense when certain well equipment inventory was evaluated to have a net realizable value less than the associated carrying value, after it was determined to no longer be useful in our current drilling operations. We recognized $23.4 million of impairment expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The impairment expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is primarily related to impairment of the assets in our northern field. The future undiscounted cash flows did not exceed the carrying amount associated with the proved oil and gas properties in the northern field and it was determined that the proved oil and gas properties had no remaining fair value. Therefore, the full net book value of these proved oil and gas properties was impaired at September 30, 2016.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is comprised of a $0.5 million loss on the sale of property and equipment. Other operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is comprised of a $0.9 million rig termination fee in January 2016.

General and administrative expenses. G&A expenses increased by $42.7 million to $77.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $35.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase is primarily due to an increase in our employee head count and unit and stock-based compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. On a per unit basis, G&A expense increased from $4.74 per BOE sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $6.08 per BOE sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Our G&A expenses include the non-cash expense for unit and stock-based compensation for equity awards granted to our employees and directors. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, stock-based compensation expense was $46.7 million as compared to unit-based compensation of $14.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is due to additional equity awards granted to employees as part of our 2016 Long Term Incentive Plan that was adopted in October 2016 in connection with our IPO.

Commodity derivative gain (loss). Primarily due to the decrease in NYMEX crude oil futures prices at September 30, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016 and change in fair value from the execution of new positions, we incurred a net gain on our commodity derivatives of $46.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Primarily due to the increase in NYMEX crude oil futures prices at September 30, 2016 as compared to December 31, 2015 and change in fair value from the execution of new positions, we incurred a net loss on our commodity derivatives of $62.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, including the amortization of premiums. These gains and losses are a result of our hedging program, which is used to mitigate our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. The fair value of the open commodity derivative instruments will continue to change in value until the transactions are settled and we will likely add to our hedging program. Therefore, we expect our net income (loss) to reflect the volatility of commodity price forward markets. Our cash flow will only be affected upon settlement of the transactions at the current market prices at that time. During the nine months ended

September 30, 2017, we paid cash settlements of commodity derivatives totaling $6.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we received cash settlements of commodity derivatives totaling $37.9 million.

Interest expense. Interest expense consists of interest expense on our long term debt, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs, net of capitalized interest. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized interest expense of approximately $33.8 million as compared to $57.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of borrowings under our revolving credit facility, Second Lien Notes in 2016, our 2021 Senior Notes, our 2024 Senior Notes and the amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discount.

We incurred interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of approximately $39.2 million related to our 2024 Senior Notes, 2021 Senior Notes and credit facility. We incurred interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 of approximately $38.9 million related to our Second Lien Notes, our 2021 Senior Notes and credit facility. Also included in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was the amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discount of $3.2 million and $18.3 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we capitalized interest expense of $8.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Also included in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is a prepayment penalty of $4.3 million related to the Company's repayment of its Second Lien Notes in July 2016.

Income tax benefit. We recorded an income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $7.6 million, resulting in effective tax rate of approximately 35.3%. Our effective tax rate for 2017 differs from the U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to the effects of state income taxes and estimated permanent taxable differences. For 2017, our combined federal and state statutory tax rate was 38.0%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we were not subject to U.S. federal income tax.

Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been borrowings under our revolving credit facility, our Second Lien Notes,facilities, proceeds from thesecurities offerings of our 2021 Senior Notes and 2024 Senior Notes (please refer to Note 4 – Long Term Debt), equity provided by investors, including our management team,cash proceeds from the IPO and a private placementdivestitures of our common stock and cash flows from operations. To date, our primary use of capital has been for the acquisition of oil and gas properties to increaseand from the sale of oil, gas and NGL production. During the combined six months ended June 30, 2021, our acreage position, as well asprimary sources of liquidity came from issuing New Common Stock, borrowings on our new RBL Credit Facility and cash from operations. Our primary uses of capital have been for the repayment of borrowings on the RBL Credit Facility and development and exploration of our oil and gas properties.

As of June 30, 2021, our outstanding RBL Credit Facility borrowings were $90.0 million. Our borrowings, nettotal available liquidity as of unamortized debt discountJune 30, 2021 consisted of cash and debt issuance costs, were approximately $932.6cash equivalents of $34.4 million and $538.1$409.5 million at September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively. We also have other contractual commitments, which are described in Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies in Part I, Item I, Financial Informationof availability on the RBL Credit Facility. As of the date of this Quarterly Report.filing, we had drawn $70.0 million on the RBL Credit Facility and total funds available for borrowing under our RBL Credit Facility, after giving effect to an aggregate of $0.5 million of undrawn letters of credit, were $429.5 million. With available borrowings under our RBL Credit Facility and cash flow from operations, we believe we have sufficient sources of cash to meet our obligations for the next twelve months.

We plan to continue our practice of enteringenter into hedging arrangements to reduce the impact of commodity price volatility on our cash flow from operations. Under this strategy,operations, or alternatively, we intendmay decide to enterunwind or restructure the hedging arrangements into which we previously entered. The RBL Credit Agreement requires us to maintain commodity hedges covering a minimum of 65% of our anticipated oil and gas production from PDP reserves for the succeeding twelve months and 50% of our anticipated oil and gas production from PDP reserves for the next succeeding twelve months.

Material Cash Requirements

Our material short-term cash requirements include payments under our short-term lease agreements, recurring payroll and benefits obligations for our employees, capital and operating expenditures and other working capital needs. Working capital, defined as total current assets less total current liabilities, fluctuates depending on commodity pricing and effective management of receivables from our purchasers and working interest partners and payables to our vendors.
54

As commodity prices improve, our working capital requirements may increase as we spend additional capital, increase production and pay larger settlements on our outstanding commodity hedge contracts.

Our long-term material cash requirements from currently known obligations include repayment of outstanding borrowings and interest payment obligations under our RBL Credit Facility, settlements on our outstanding commodity hedge contracts, future obligations to plug, abandon and remediate our oil and gas properties at the end of their productive lives, and operating lease obligations. The following table summarizes our estimated material cash requirements for known obligations as of June 30, 2021 (in thousands). This table does not include repayments of outstanding borrowings on our RBL Credit Facility, or the associated interest payments, as the timing and amount of borrowings and repayments cannot be forecasted with certainty and are based on working capital requirements, commodity prices and acquisition and divestiture activity, among other factors. This table also does not include amounts payable under obligations where we cannot forecast with certainty the amount and timing of such payments, including any amounts we may be obligated to pay under our derivative contracts, as such payments are dependent on commodity prices in effect at timesthe time of settlement.

(2) We have operating leases for certain compressors, office facilities and equipment. The obligations reported above represent our projected oil production over a one‑to‑two year period at a given point in time, although we may from time to time hedge more or less than this approximate range.

Based on current expectations, we believe we have sufficient liquidity through our existing cash balances, cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility to execute our current capital program, excluding any acquisitions we may consummate, make our interest payments on the 2021 Senior Notes and 2024 Senior Notes and pay dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock.

If cash flow from operations does not meet our expectations, we may reduce our expected level of capital expenditures and/or fund a portion of our capital expenditures using borrowings under our revolving credit facility, issuances of debt and equity securities or from other sources, such as asset sales. We cannot assure you that necessary capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to raise funds through the incurrence of additional indebtedness could be limited by the covenants in our debt arrangements. If we are unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may not be able to complete acquisitions that may be favorable to us or finance the capital expenditures necessary to maintain our production or proved reserves.

We drew $145.5 million, net on our Prior Credit Facility and a reductionDIP Credit Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

During the Predecessor period from January 1, 2021 to January 20, 2021, we extinguished both our Prior Credit Facility in the amount of $453.9 million and DIP Credit Facility in the amount of $106.7 million. Prior to and upon emergence, we drew $265.0 million on our expenditures fornewly established RBL Credit Facility and issued New Common Stock in the amount $200.5 million. We also incurred $6.3 million of debt issuance costs. The increase from the issuance of debt is primarily due to the August 2017 issuance of our 2024 Senior Notes for net proceeds of $392.6 million. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016 our net cash provided bycosts and other financing activities decreased by $120.8 million related to the issuance of units during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and $7.7 million related to dividend payments on our Series A Preferred Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.fees.


Working Capital


Working capital is defined as total current assets less total current liabilities. Our working capital deficit was $8.6$232.5 million and $369.4 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2017. Our working capital was $379.1 million at December 31, 2016. Our cash balances totaled $114.1 million and $588.7 million at September 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016,2020, respectively. However, as of December 31, 2020, our current liabilities in the amount of $279.6 million were classified as “Liabilities Subject to Compromise” (excluding approximately $1.8 billion of debt, accrued interest, damages for rejected and settled contracts and other). Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $34.4 million and $205.9 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.


56

Due to the amounts that we incur related to our drilling and completion program and the timing of such expenditures, we may incur working capital deficits in the future. We expect that our cash flows from operating activities and availability under our revolving credit facilityRBL Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs. We expect that our pace of development, production volumes, commodity prices and differentials to NYMEXrealized prices for our oil, natural gas and NGL production will be the largest variables affecting our working capital.

The amount available to be borrowed under our revolving credit facility is subject to a borrowing base that is redetermined semiannually on August 1, 2017 and each May 1 and November 1 thereafter, and will depend on the volumes of our proved oil and gas reserves and estimated cash flows from these reserves and other information deemed relevant by the administrative agent under our revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2017, the borrowing base was $375.0 million, and there were no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility. In October 2017, the Company completed the August 1, 2017 borrowing base redetermination. As a result of the redetermination, the borrowing base increased to $525.0 million.
Principal amounts borrowed will be payable on the maturity date, and interest will be payable quarterly for alternate base rate loans and at the end of the applicable interest period for Eurodollar loans. We have a choice of borrowing in Eurodollars or at the alternate base rate. Eurodollar loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an adjusted LIBOR rate (equal to the product of: (a) the LIBOR rate, multiplied by (b) a fraction (expressed as a decimal), the numerator of which is the number one and the denominator of which is the number one minus the reserve percentages (expressed as a decimal) on such date at which the administrative agent under our revolving credit facility is required to maintain reserves on ‘Eurocurrency Liabilities’ as defined in and pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) plus an applicable margin ranging from 200 to 300 basis points, depending on the percentage of our borrowing base utilized. Alternate base rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the agent bank’s reference rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points and (iii) the adjusted one-month LIBOR rate (as calculated above) plus 100 basis points, plus an applicable margin ranging from 100 to 200 basis points, depending on the percentage of our borrowing base utilized. As of September 30, 2017, we had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We may repay any amounts borrowed prior to the maturity date without any premium or penalty other than customary LIBOR breakage costs.
The revolving credit facility is secured by liens on substantially all of our properties and guarantees from us and our current and future subsidiaries. The revolving credit facility contains restrictive covenants that may limit our ability to, among other things:
incur additional indebtedness;
sell assets;
make loans to others;
make investments;
make certain changes to our capital structure;
make or declare dividends;

hedge future production or interest rates;
enter into transactions with our affiliates;
holding cash balances in excess of certain thresholds while carrying a balance of our revolving credit facility;
incur liens; and
engage in certain other transactions without the prior consent of the lenders.

The revolving credit facility requires us to maintain the following financial ratios:
a current ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated current assets (includes unused commitments under our revolving credit facility and unrestricted cash and excludes derivative assets) to our consolidated current liabilities (excludes obligations under our revolving credit facility, the senior notes and certain derivative liabilities), of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter; and

a net leverage ratio, which is the ratio of (i) consolidated debt less cash balances to (ii) our consolidated EBITDAX for the four fiscal quarter period most recently ended, not to exceed 4.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of such fiscal quarter; provided that (a) for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, consolidated EBITDAX will be based on the last six months’ consolidated EBITDAX multiplied by 2, (b) for the quarter ending December 31, 2017, consolidated EBITDAX will be based on the last nine months' consolidated EBITDAX multiplied by 4/3, and (c) for the quarters ending on or after March 31, 2018, consolidated EBITDAX will be based on the last twelve months’ consolidated EBITDAX.

In August 2017, we amended and restated the revolving credit facility to, among other things, (i) increase the total aggregate commitment to $1.5 billion, subject to an initial borrowing base of $375.0 million, and (ii) increase the letter of credit sublimit to $50.0 million. The revolving credit facility matures on the earlier of (a) August 16, 2022, (b) January 15, 2021 if (and only if) the Company's 2021 Senior Notes (as defined below) have not been refinanced or repaid in full on or prior to January 15, 2021, (c) April 15, 2021, if (and only if) (i) the Series A Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series A Preferred Stock") have not been converted into common equity or redeemed prior to April 15, 2021, and (ii) prior to April 15, 2021, the maturity date of the Series A Preferred Stock has not been extended to a date that is no earlier than six months after August 16, 2022 or (d) the earlier termination in whole of the commitments.

In October 2017, we amended the revolving credit facility to, among other things, (i) provide for the joinder of new lenders, (ii) increase the borrowing base under the credit facility from $375.0 million to $525.0 million, and (iii) amend certain provisions of the credit agreement, including the commitments and allocations of each lender.

2021 Senior Notes

In July 2016, we closed a private offering of our 2021 Senior Notes that resulted in net proceeds of approximately $537.2 million. Our 2021 Senior Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 7.875%. Interest on our 2021 Senior Notes is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, and the first interest payment was made on January 15, 2017. Our 2021 Senior Notes will mature on July 15, 2021.

We may, at our option, redeem all or a portion of our 2021 Senior Notes at any time on or after July 15, 2018. We are also entitled to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of our 2021 Senior Notes before July 15, 2018, with an amount of cash not greater than the net proceeds that we raise in certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 107.875% of the principal amount of our 2021 Senior Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, prior to July 15, 2018, we may redeem some or all of our 2021 Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus a “make-whole” premium. If we experience certain kinds of changes of control, holders of our 2021 Senior Notes may have the right to require us to repurchase their notes at 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

Our 2021 Senior Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our other senior indebtedness and senior to any of our subordinated indebtedness. Our 2021 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of our current and future restricted subsidiaries (other than Extraction Finance Corp., the co-issuer of our 2021 Senior Notes) that guarantees our indebtedness under a credit facility.

We may, at our option, redeem all or a portion of our 2024 Senior Notes at any time on or after May 15, 2020 at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 2024 Senior Notes. We are also entitled to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of our 2024 Senior Notes before May 15, 2020, with an amount of cash not greater than the net proceeds that we raise in certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 107.375% of the principal amount of our 2024 Senior Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, prior to May 15, 2020, we may redeem some or all of our 2024 Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus a “make-whole” premium. If we experience certain kinds of changes of control, holders of our 2024 Senior Notes may have the right to require us to repurchase their notes at 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

Our 2024 Senior Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our other senior indebtedness and senior to any of our subordinated indebtedness. Our 2024 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of our current subsidiaries and by certain future restricted subsidiaries that guarantees our indebtedness under a credit facility. The notes are effectively subordinated to all of our secured indebtedness (including all borrowings and other obligations under our revolving credit facility) to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of any of our future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.

Series A Preferred Stock

The Company's Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") are entitled to receive a cash dividend of 5.875% per year, payable quarterly in arrears, and we have the ability to pay such quarterly dividends in kind at a dividend rate of 10% per year (decreased proportionately to the extent such quarterly dividends are partially paid in cash). Each of the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at the election of the Series A Preferred Holders at a conversion ratio per share of Series A Preferred Stock of 61.9195. Until the three-year anniversary of the closing of the IPO, we may elect to convert each share of Series A Preferred Stock at a conversion ratio of 61.9195, but only if the closing price of our common stock trades at or above a certain premium to our initial offering price, with such premiums decreasing with time. In certain situations, including a change of control, the Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed for cash in an amount equal to the greater of (i) 135% of the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) a 17.5% annualized internal rate of return on the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock matures on October 15, 2021, at which time they are mandatorily redeemable for cash at the liquidation preference. For more information, see the Company’s Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


Effective June 14, 2020 for the Predecessor Company, as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, we began accounting and reporting according to ASC 852, which specifies the accounting and financial reporting requirements for entities reorganizing through chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. These requirements include distinguishing transactions associated with the reorganization separate from activities related to ongoing operations of the business. ASC 852 did not apply to the Successor Company.

There were no other material changes to ourthe Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in ourits Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.Report.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In May 2017, the FinancialPlease see Note 2—Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issuedPolicies and Recent Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-09, which provides clarification and reduces both (1) diversity Pronouncements in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. For public entities, the new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including the interim reporting periods within that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU, however it is not expected to have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, which provided clarification regarding the guidance on accounting for the derecognition of nonfinancial assets. For public entities, the new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating this new standard to determine the potential impact to its financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount. For public entities, the new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after JanuaryItem 1 2017. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU and believes it could have a material impact to its financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, which clarifies the definition of a business when evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. For public entities, the new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for transactions for which the acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in the financial statements that have been issued. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU and believes it could have a material impact to its financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, which intends to clarify how entities should present restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. This amendment will be effective retrospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU, however it is not expected to have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, which addresses eight specific cash flow issues, including presentation of debt prepayments or debt extinguishment costs, with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. In addition, in November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, which requires that amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. For public entities, the new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine the potential impact to its financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06, which clarifies the requirements to assess whether an embedded put or call option is clearly and closely related to the debt host, solely in accordance with the four step decision sequence in FASB ASB Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as amended by this ASU. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016 and should be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017 and the adoption of this ASU did not haveQuarterly Report for a material impact on the its consolidated financial statements.detailed list of recent accounting pronouncements.


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, which requires lessee recognition on the balance sheet of a right of use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. It further requires recognition in the income statement of a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight line basis. Finally, it requires classification of all cash payments within operating activities in the statements of cash

flows. It is effective for fiscal years commencing after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-13, which provided additional implementation guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its financial statements and related disclosures and developing a strategy for implementation.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, which establishes a comprehensive new revenue recognition model designed to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU allows for the use of either the full or modified retrospective transition method. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which deferred ASU No. 2014-09 for one year, and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The FASB subsequently issued ASU No. 2016-08, ASU No. 2016-10, ASU No. 2016-11, ASU No. 2016-12, ASU No. 2016-20, and ASU No. 2017-13, which provided additional implementation guidance. The Company is in the final stages of its review of contracts in each of its revenue streams and has developed accounting policies to address the provisions of this ASU. While the Company does not expect operating income (loss) to be materially impacted, the Company does expect total revenues and total expenses to change as a result of certain percentage of proceeds contracts. Further, the Company has begun evaluating the design of its pre-adoption and adoption controls and expects new or modification of certain controls to address risks associated with recognizing revenue under the new standard as we continue the implementation process. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this and other provisions of the ASU on its accounting policies, internal controls, and consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and has not finalized any estimates of the potential impacts. The Company will adopt this new standard on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.

Impact of Inflation/Deflation and Pricing


All of our transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars. Typically, as prices for oil and natural gas increase, associated costs rise. Conversely, as prices for oil and natural gas decrease, costs decline. Cost declines tend to lag and may not adjust downward in proportion to declinedeclining commodity prices. Historically, field-level prices received for our oil and natural gas production have been volatile. During the yearssix months ended December 31, 2014 and 2015,June 30, 2020, commodity prices decreased, while duringdecreased. During the yearcombined six months ended December 31, 2016,June 30, 2021, commodity prices increased and remained stable duringcompared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.same period in 2020. Changes in commodity prices impact our revenues, estimates of reserves, assessments of any impairment of oil and natural gas properties, as well as values of properties being acquired or sold. Price changes have the potential to affect our ability to raise capital, borrow money, and retain personnel.



Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2021, we did not have material off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK


We are exposed to market risk, including the effects of adverse changes in commodity prices and interest ratesa smaller reporting company as described below. The primary objectivedefined by Rule 12b-2 of the following information isExchange Act and are not required to provide quantitative and qualitativethe information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in oil, natural gas and NGL prices and interest rates. 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.required under this item.


Commodity Price Risk

Our major market risk exposure is in the pricing that we receive for our oil, natural gas and NGL production. Pricing for oil, natural gas and NGL has been volatile and unpredictable for several years and this volatility is expected to continue in the future. The prices we receive for our oil, natural gas and NGL production depend on many factors outside of our control, such as the strength of the global economy and global supply and demand for the commodities we produce.

To reduce the impact of fluctuations in oil prices on our revenues, we have periodically entered into commodity derivative contracts with respect to certain of our oil and natural gas production through various transactions that limit the downside of future prices received. We plan to continue our practice of entering into such transactions to reduce the impact of commodity price volatility on our cash flow from operations. Future transactions may include price swaps whereby we will receive a fixed price for our production and pay a variable market price to the contract counterparty. Additionally, we may enter into collars, whereby we receive the excess, if any, of the fixed floor over the floating rate or pay the excess, if any, of the floating rate over the fixed ceiling price. These hedging activities are intended to support oil prices at targeted levels and to manage our exposure to oil price fluctuations.

As of September 30, 2017, the fair market value of our oil derivative contracts was a net liability of $12.9 million. Based on our open oil derivative positions at September 30, 2017, a 10% increase in the NYMEX WTI price would increase our net oil derivative liability by approximately $69.9 million, while a 10% decrease in the NYMEX WTI price would decrease our net oil derivative liability by approximately $60.7 million. As of September 30, 2017, the fair market value of our natural gas derivative contracts was a net asset of $2.6 million. Based upon our open commodity derivative positions at September 30, 2017, a 10% increase in the NYMEX Henry Hub price would decrease our net natural gas derivative asset by approximately $13.6 million, while a 10% decrease in the NYMEX Henry Hub price would increase our net natural gas derivate asset by approximately $13.6 million. Please see “—How We Evaluate Our Operations—Derivative Arrangements.”

Counterparty and Customer Credit Risk

Our cash and cash equivalents are exposed to concentrations of credit risk. We manage and control this risk by investing these funds with major financial institutions. We often have balances in excess of the federally insured limits.

We sell oil, natural gas and NGL to various types of customers, including pipelines and refineries. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial conditions and historical payment record. The future availability of a ready market for oil, natural gas and NGL depends on numerous factors outside of our control, none of which can be predicted with certainty. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we had certain major customers that exceeded 10% of total oil, natural gas and NGL revenues. We do not believe the loss of any single purchaser would materially impact our operating results because oil, natural gas and NGL are fungible products with well-established markets and numerous purchasers.


At September 30, 2017, we had commodity derivative contracts with six counterparties. We do not require collateral or other security from counterparties to support derivative instruments; however, to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments, it is our policy to enter into derivative contracts only with counterparties that are creditworthy financial institutions deemed by management as competent and competitive market makers. Additionally, we use master netting agreements to minimize credit risk exposure. The creditworthiness of our counterparties is subject to periodic review. Three of the six counterparties to the derivative instruments are highly rated entities with corporate ratings at A3 classifications or above by Moody’s. The other three counterparties had a corporate rating of Baa1 by Moody’s. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we did not incur any losses with respect to counterparty contracts. None of our existing derivative instrument contracts contains credit risk related contingent features.

Interest Rate Risk

At September 30, 2017, we had no variable rate debt outstanding. Assuming we had the full amount of variable-rate debt outstanding available to us at September 30, 2017 of $375.0 million, the impact on interest expense of a 1% increase or decrease in the average interest rate would be approximately $3.8 million. We may begin entering into interest rate swap arrangements on a portion of our outstanding debt to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in LIBOR if we have variable-rate debt outstanding in the future. Please see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Debt Arrangements.”

Off‑Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2017, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements other than operating leases, contractual commitments for drilling rigs, gathering commitments, and acquisitions of undeveloped leasehold acreage. Additionally, our oil marketer is subject to a firm transportation agreement with a make-whole provision that allows us to satisfy any minimum volume commitment deficiencies incurred by our oil marketer with future barrels of crude oil in excess of their minimum volume commitment through October 31, 2018. Please see Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
