To facilitate our financial statement presentations, the Company refers to the post-emergence reorganized company in these condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes as the “Successor Company” for periods subsequent to January 20, 2021 and to the pre-emergence company as the “Predecessor Company” for periods on or prior to January 20, 2021. This delineation between Predecessor Company periods and Successor Company periods is shown in the condensed consolidated financial statements, certain tables within the footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements and other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) through the use of a black line, calling out the lack of comparability between periods.

Bonanza Creek Energy, Inc. Merger and Crestone Peak Merger

As previously disclosed, on May 9, 2021, Bonanza Creek Energy, Inc. (“Bonanza Creek”) and Extraction signed a merger agreement (the “BCEI Merger Agreement”) for an all-stock merger of equals (the “BCEI Merger”). On June 6, 2021, Extraction entered into a merger agreement, by and among Bonanza Creek, Raptor Condor Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of BCEI, Raptor Condor Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of BCEI, Crestone Peak Resources LP, a Delaware limited partnership, CPPIB Crestone Peak Resources America Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Crestone Peak”), Crestone Peak Resources Management LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Crestone Peak Merger Agreement”). The Crestone Peak Merger Agreement, among other things, provides for Bonanza Creek’s acquisition of Crestone Peak (the “Crestone Peak Merger”). The closing of the Crestone Peak Merger is expressly conditioned on the closing of the BCEI Merger. Upon completion of the BCEI Merger and Crestone Peak Merger, the combined company will be named Civitas Resources, Inc. (“Civitas”). Following the BCEI Merger and Crestone Peak Merger, Bonanza Creek President and Chief Executive Officer, Eric Greager, will serve as President and CEO of Civitas.

Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code

As previously disclosed, on June 14, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), Extraction and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 ("(“Chapter 11"11”) of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtor'sDebtors’ Chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) are beingwere jointly administered under the caption In In re Extraction Oil & Gas., et al. Case No. 20-11548 (CSS).

The Debtors continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors continue to operate as an ongoing business in accordance with the previously approved Bankruptcy Court orders.

The commencement of a voluntary proceeding in bankruptcy constituted an immediate event of default under the Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 6—Long-Term Debt) and the indentures governing the Company’s Senior Notes (as defined below), resulting in the automatic and immediate acceleration of all of the Company’s debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement and Senior Notes. Accordingly, the Company has classified its outstanding Senior Notes debt as liabilities subject to compromise on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020. The Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6—Long-Term Debt) was not classified as liabilities subject to compromise because it is fully secured and is expected to be unimpaired. Please refer to Note 4—Liabilities Subject to Compromise for more information. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code and as described in Note 6—Long-Term Debt, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases automatically stayed most actions against the Debtors, including most actions to collect indebtedness incurred prior to the Petition Date or to exercise control over the Debtors’ property.

Restructuring Support Agreement

the Restructuring Plan will provide for the establishment of a post-emergence management incentive plan to be adopted by the New Board (the “Management Incentive Plan”), which may include (a) restricted stock units, options, New Common Shares, or other rights exercisable, exchangeable, or convertible into New Common Shares representing up to 10% of the New Common Shares on a fully diluted and fully distributed basis (the “MIP Equity”) and (b) other terms and conditions customary for similar type equity plans.

Information contained in the Restructuring Plan and the Disclosure Statement is subject to change, whether as a result of amendments or supplements to the Restructuring Plan or Disclosure Statement, third-party actions, or otherwise, and should not be relied upon by any party. There is no guarantee the Restructuring Plan can be implemented and the Restructuring Plan approved.

The information presented in this section is not a solicitation to accept or reject the Restructuring Plan. Any such solicitation will be made pursuant to and in accordance with the Disclosure Statement and applicable law, including orders of the Bankruptcy Court. Capitalized terms used but not specifically defined in this section have the meanings specified for such terms in the Restructuring Plan and Disclosure Statement, as applicable.

Tax Attributes and Net Operating Loss Carryforwards

The Company has substantial tax net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes. Under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), our ability to use these net operating losses and other tax attributes may be limited if the Company experiences an “ownership change”, as determined under Section 382 of the Code. Accordingly, on July 13, 2020, the Company obtained a final order from the Bankruptcy Court that is intended to prevent an ownership change during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases and therefore protect the Company's ability to use its tax attributes by imposing certain notice procedures and transfer restrictions on the trading of the Company’s existing common stock and preferred stock.

In general, the order applies to any person or entity that, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns (or would beneficially own as a result of a proposed transfer) at least 4.5% of the Company’s common stock or preferred stock. Such persons are required to notify the Company and the Bankruptcy Court before effecting a transaction involving the Company's common stock or preferred stock, and the Company has the right to seek an injunction to prevent the transaction if it might adversely affect the Company's ability to use its tax attributes. The order also requires any person or entity that, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns at least 50% of the Company’s common stock or preferred stock to notify the Company and the Bankruptcy Court prior to claiming any deduction for worthlessness of the Company's common stock or preferred stock for a tax year ending before the Company’s emergence from chapter 11 protection and the Company has the right to seek an injunction to prevent the transaction if it might adversely affect the Company's ability to use its tax attributes.

Any purchase, sale or other transfer of, or any claim of a deduction for worthlessness with respect to, the Company's common stock or preferred stock in violation of the restrictions of the order is null and void ab initio as an act in violation of a Bankruptcy Court order and would therefore confer no rights on a proposed transferee or such holder, as applicable.

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

As discussed above, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default under the Company’s outstanding debt agreements, which resulted in the automatic and immediate acceleration of all of the Company’s debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement and Senior Notes. The Company projects that it will not have sufficient cash on hand or available liquidity to repay such debt. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Table of Contents
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon, among other things, its ability to, subject to the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, implement the Restructuring Plan, successfully emergeemerged from the Chapter 11 Cases and generate sufficient liquidity from the Restructuring to meet its obligations and operating needs. As a result of risks and uncertainties related to (i) the Company’s ability to obtain requisite support for the Restructuring Plan from various stakeholders, and (ii) the effects of disruption from the Chapter 11 Cases making it more difficult to maintain business, financing and operational relationships, the Company has concluded that management’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Deconsolidation of Elevation Midstream, LLC

Elevation Midstream, LLC ("Elevation"), a Delaware limited liability company, is focused on the construction and operation of gathering systems and facilities to serve the development of acreage in the Company’s Hawkeye and Southwest Wattenberg areas. Midstream assets of Elevation are represented as the gathering systems and facilities line item within the condensed consolidated balance sheets for any periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2019.

During the first quarter of 2020, Elevation's then non-controlling interest owner, which owned 100% of Elevation's preferred stock, per contractual agreement, expanded Elevation's then five member board of managers by four seats and filled them with managers of their choosing (the "Board Expansion"). Because Extraction had the right to appoint only three of the managers of Elevation before and after Board Expansion, Extraction determined the Company had lost voting control of Elevation, and on March 16, 2020 deconsolidated Elevation and began accounting for the entity as an equity method investment. Though Extraction determined control of Elevation was lost under the voting interest model of consolidation, the Company also determined significant influence was not lost due to (1) Extraction owning 100% of the common stock, (2) Extraction appointing three of the nine managers of Elevation and (3) Extraction's continuing involvement in the day-to-day operation of Elevation through a management services agreement. Because Extraction also determined the Company is not the primary beneficiary, Elevation Midstream, LLC is not a variable interest entity.

Extraction elected the fair value option to remeasure the Elevation equity method investment and determined it had no fair value. The Company recorded a $73.1 million loss on deconsolidation of the investment in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Also during the three months ended March 31, 2020, Elevation determined certain gathering systems and facilities were impaired by $50.3 million as a result of the abandonment of certain projects. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 323-10-35-20: Investments—equity method and joint ventures, Extraction discontinued applying the equity method investment for Elevation as the impairment charge would have reduced the investment below zero.

On May 1, 2020, Elevation's board of managers issued 1,530,000,000 common units at a price of $0.01 per unit to certain of Elevation's members other than Extraction (the "Capital Raise"). The Capital Raise caused Extraction's ownership of Elevation to be diluted to less than 0.01%. As a result of the Capital Raise, beginning in May 2020 Extraction began accounting for Elevation under the cost method of accounting. The Company reserves all rights related to actions taken by Elevation’s board of managers.Cases.

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.

PotentialBankruptcy 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 November 2, 2020,August 3, 2021, the Debtors'Debtors’ have received approximately 2,5452,600 proofs of claim, primarily representing general unsecured claims, for an amount of approximately $6.7$5.8 billion.

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 will beare currently being investigated and resolved, including through the filing of 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 addition, as a result of this process, the Company may identify additional liabilities that will need to be recorded or reclassified to liabilities subject to compromise. In light of the substantial number of claims filed, and expected to be filed, the claims resolution process may take considerable time to complete and likely will continueis continuing even after the Debtors emergeemerged from bankruptcy.

Financial Statement Classification of Liabilities Subject to Compromise

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020 includes amounts classified as liabilities subject to compromise, which represent liabilities the Company anticipates will be allowed as claims in the Chapter 11 Cases. These amounts represent the Debtors’ current estimate of known or potential obligations to be resolved in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, and may differ from actual future settlement amounts paid. Differences between liabilities estimated and claims filed, or to be filed, will be investigated and resolved in connection with the claims resolution process. The Company will continue to evaluate these liabilities throughout the chapter 11 process and adjust amounts as necessary. Such adjustments may be material. Please refer to Note 4Liabilities Subject to Compromise for more information.

Reorganization Items, Net

The Debtors, have incurred and will continue to incur significant costs associated with the reorganization, primarily from damages for rejected or settled contracts and legal and professional fees. The amount of these costs, which since the Petition Date, are being expensed as incurred, are expected to significantly affect the Company’s results of operations. In accordance with applicable guidance, costs associated with the bankruptcy proceedings have been recorded as reorganization items within the Company's accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Revenue Contract Balances

The Company had a certain revenue contract with an initial term beginning on November 1, 2016 and continuing until October 31, 2020 after which the contract was to begin an automatic month-to-month renewal unless terminated by either party giving notice at least six months prior to the effective termination date but in no event could either party give such notice earlier than November 1, 2020. Based on the accounting treatment pursuant to ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the contract term would end on April 30, 2021 because it could be terminated by either party with no penalty effective as of such date. The contract term impacted the amount of consideration that could be included in the transaction price. The Company recognizes revenue and invoices customers once its performance obligations have been satisfied. When it becomes probable that the Company will not meet its performance obligations, the transaction price allocated to the performance obligation is constrained in the amount of the estimated unmet performance obligation and recognized as a reduction to revenue in the period in which the transaction price changes. On June 12, 2020, the Company and the counterparty to the contract mutually cancelled the contract effective June 30, 2020. As a result of the cancellation, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, 0 revenue was recorded as a reduction in the transaction price resulting from unsatisfied performance obligations in the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, $12.3 million was recorded as a reduction in the transaction price resulting from unsatisfied performance obligations in the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company allocated $22.2 million to a satisfied performance obligation recognized within oil sales. As a result of the contract termination, the Company incurred an early termination fee of $13.2 million recorded in other operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This amount was settled during the third quarter of 2020, and there are no remaining amounts due to the counterparty.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses were $9.8 million and $75.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. There were no other operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The amounts in the current year are made up of the following:

$46.8 million loss contingency from an alleged breach in contract stemming from a purported failure to complete the pipeline extensions connecting certain wells to the Badger central gathering facility prior to April 1, 2020. Please see Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies for further details.

$2.9 million of accrued interest related to the aforementioned alleged breach in contract recorded in the third quarter of 2020.

$13.2 million early termination penalty for the revenue contract terminated in June 2020. Please see the section Revenue Contract Balance immediately above for further details.

$7.5 million charge to income for expenses related to workforce reductions in February and May 2020.

$2.4 million charge to income for expenses related to certain drilling rig standby charges during the second quarter of 2020.

$2.4 million charge to income for interest expense on unpaid production taxes recorded in the third quarter of 2020.

Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 the Company recognized 0 impairment expense on its proved oil and gas properties, but for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the Company recognized $1.6 million related to impairment of assets in its northern field. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized 0 impairment expense on its proved oil and gas properties, but for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized $11.2 million related to impairment of assets in its northern field. The fair value did not exceed the Company's carrying amount associated with its proved oil and gas properties in its northern field. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not have any proved property impairment in its Core DJ Basin field.

Of the Company's $9.8 million in exploration and abandonment expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020, $9.5 million was lease abandonment expense. Of the Company's $184.9 million in exploration and abandonment expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, $179.0 million was lease abandonment expense. Unproved oil and gas properties consist of costs to acquire unevaluated leases as well as costs to acquire unproved reserves. The Company evaluates significant unproved oil and gas properties for impairment based on remaining lease term, drilling results, reservoir performance, seismic interpretation or future plans to develop acreage. When successful wells are drilled on undeveloped leaseholds, unproved property costs are reclassified to proved properties and depleted on a unit-of-production basis. Impairment expense and lease extension payments for unproved properties are reported in exploration and abandonment expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting PronouncementsDivestitures

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. In May 2019, ASU No. 2016-13 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses and ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. ASU No. 2016-13, as amended, affects trade receivables, financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. This ASU replaced the incurred loss approach with an expected loss model for instruments measured at amortized cost and was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU No. 2016-13 will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, which removes or modifies current fair value disclosures and adds additional disclosures. The update to the guidance is the result of the FASB's test of the principles developed in its disclosure effectiveness project, which is designed to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. The disclosures that have been removed or modified may be applied immediately with retrospective application. For public entities, the new guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license. For public entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020 which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as capitalized costs for internal-use software were not material as of September 30, 2020.

Other than as disclosed above or in the Company’s Annual Report, there are no other accounting standards applicable to the Company as of September 30, 2020 and through the date of this filing that would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures that have been issued but not yet adopted by the Company.

Note 4—Liabilities Subject3—Fresh Start Reporting

Fresh Start Reporting

In connection with the Company’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 Compromiseapply fresh start reporting due to the fact that (i) the holders of existing voting shares of the Predecessor 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 Company’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 estimated 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 Emergence Date. On the Emergence Date, pursuant to the terms of 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 Company’s liabilities subjectprincipal 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 compromise consistedwells included in the Company's five-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 the section titled “Fresh Start Adjustments.”

As discussed in Note 1—Business and Organization — Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, since the Petition Date, the Company has been operating as debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. On the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, the line item liabilities subject to compromise reflects the expected allowed amount of the prepetition claims that are not fully secured and that have at least a possibility of not being repaid at the full claim amount. Determination of the value at which liabilities will ultimately be settled cannot be made until the Bankruptcy Court approves the Restructuring Plan. In addition, the manner by which those liabilities are settled will ultimately be determined by the aforementioned Restructuring Plan and could include settlement in cash, Company equity or a combination. Liabilities subject to compromise includes amounts related to the rejection of various executory contracts and unexpired leases. Additional amounts may be included in liabilities subject to compromise in future periods if additional executory contracts and unexpired leases are rejected. The Company will continue to evaluate the amount and classification of its prepetition liabilities. Any additional liabilities that are subject to compromise will be recognized accordingly, and the aggregate amount of liabilities subject to compromise may change.Fresh Start Adjustments


(r) Reflects the adjustment to fair value of the Company's line fill inventory based on market prices as of the Emergence Date.

(s) Reflects the adjustments to fair value of the Company's oil and natural gas properties, proved and unproved, as well as the elimination of wells in progress and accumulated depletion, depreciation and amortization.
Note 5—
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.

In estimating the fair value of the Company's unproved properties, a discounted cash flows approach was used. The approach utilized for proved properties was also consistently utilized for properties that had positive future cash flows associated with reserve locations that did not qualify as proved reserves.

(t) Reflects the fair value adjustment to recognize the Company’s land as of the Emergence Date based on assessed values provided to management by a licensed appraiser. The appraisals utilized the market approach for comparable properties, where there was market comparable data available or the appraiser’s knowledge of the market and the property, to provide an estimated market value where market comparable data was not available.
(u) Reflects the adjustment to fair value of the Company's asset retirement obligations including using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate as of the Emergence Date.

(v) Reflects the net cumulative impact of the fresh start adjustments on accumulated deficit.

Chapter 11 Cases and Effect of Automatic StayFacility.

On June 14, 2020, the Company filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The commencement of a voluntary proceeding in bankruptcy constituted an immediate event of default under the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Company’s Senior Notes, resulting in the automatic and immediate acceleration of all of the Company’s outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement and Senior Notes. In conjunction with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company did not make the $14.8 million interest payment on the Company’s 2024 Senior Notes (as defined below) due on May 15, 2020. Any efforts to enforce payment obligations related to the acceleration of the Company’s debt have been automatically stayed as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Please refer to Note 1—Business and Organization — Ability to Continue as a Going Concern for more information on the Chapter 11 Cases.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company's DIP Credit Facility borrowings were $35.0 million and $75.0 million had been rolled over from the Credit Facility for a total outstanding balance of $110.0 million. The DIP Credit Facility is classified as a current liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020 as it is fully secured and expected to be unimpaired. On July 20, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered the final order approving the DIP Credit Agreement and associated DIP Credit Facility (the “Final DIP Order”) and $52.5 million was rolled over from the Credit Agreement into the DIP Credit Facility. On July 27, 2020, the Company drew an additional $20.0 million on the DIP Credit Facility leaving $15.0 million of availability on the facility. However, this availability could be restricted by a minimum liquidity covenant of $10.0 million from unrestricted cash and DIP Credit Facility availability.

The amount available to be borrowed under the Company’s Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base that is redetermined semiannually on each May 1 and November 1, and will depend on the volumes of the Company’s proved oil and gas reserves, commodity prices, estimated cash flows from these reserves and other information deemed relevant by the administrative agent under the Company’s Credit Facility. Additionally, the undrawn balance may be constrained by the Company's quantitative covenants under the Credit Facility, including the current ratio and ratio of consolidated debt less cash balances to its consolidated EBITDAX, at the next required quarterly compliance date.

On April 27, 2020, the lenders under the Credit Facility provided notice to the Company that they had completed the redetermination scheduled to occur on May 1, 2020, and via this redetermination, the borrowing base had been reduced from $950.0 million to $650.0 million. Following this redetermination, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $600.5 million and had standby letters of credit of $49.5 million, which reduce the availability of the undrawn borrowing base.

The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted a termination event with respect to the Company’s derivative instruments, which permits the counterparties to such derivative instruments to terminate their outstanding hedges. Such termination events are not stayed under the Bankruptcy Code. During June 2020, certain of the lenders under the Credit Agreement elected to terminate their International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements and outstanding hedges with the Company for aggregate settlement proceeds of $96.1 million. The proceeds from these terminations were applied to the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.

As is described in the Debtor-in-Possession Financing section above, $22.5 million rolled from the Credit Facility to the DIP Credit Facility on June 16, 2020 and an additional $52.5 million rolled on July 20, 2020 upon court approval of the Final DIP Order. As of September 30, 2020, the Credit Facility had a drawn balance of $453.7 million classified as a current liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the third quarter, due to the cancellation of a certain revenue contract discussed in Note 2—Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Revenue — Contract Balances, $24.3 million was drawn on a $40.0 million letter of credit secured by the Company's Credit Facility.As of the date of this filing, and excluding any undrawn amounts under letters of credit, the available amount to be borrowed under the Credit Facility was 0.

Principal amounts borrowed on the Credit Facility will be payable on the maturity date. The Company can repay any amounts borrowed prior to the maturity date without any premium or penalty other than customary LIBOR breakage costs. Prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, amounts repaid under the Credit Facility could be re-borrowed from time to time, subject to the terms of the facility.

Interest on the Credit Facility is payable at one of the following two variable rates as selected by the Company: a base rate based on the Prime Rate or the Eurodollar rate, based on LIBOR. Either rate is adjusted upward by an applicable margin, based on the utilization percentage of the facility as outlined in the pricing grid below. Additionally, the Credit Facility provides forpay a commitment fee of 0.375% to 0.50%, depending on borrowing base usage. Due to the bankruptcy filing on June 14, 2020, a default penalty of an additional 2.00% went into effect and increased the Credit Agreement interest rates above those interest rates shown in the grid below. The grid below shows the Base Rate Margin and Eurodollar Margin depending per annum on the applicable Borrowing Base Utilization Percentage (as defined in the Credit Agreement) asactual daily unused portion of the date of this filing:

(ii) limitations on dividends, distributions, redemptions and restricted payments covenants; (iii) limitations on investments, loans and advances covenants; and (iv) limitations on the sale of property, mergers, consolidations and other similar transactions covenants. Additionally, the Credit Agreement limits the Company entering into hedges in excess of 85% of its anticipated production volumes.
The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants requiring the Company to comply on the last day of each quarter with a current ratio of its restricted subsidiaries’ current assets (includes availabilityaggregate commitments under the revolving Credit Facility and unrestricted cash and excludes derivative assets) to its restricted subsidiaries’ current liabilities (excludes obligations under the revolving Credit Facility, senior notes and certain derivative liabilities), of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 and to maintain, on the last day of each quarter, a ratio of its restricted subsidiaries’ debt less cash balances to its restricted subsidiaries EBITDAX (EBITDAX is defined as net income adjusted for interest expense, income tax expense/benefit, DD&A, exploration and abandonment expenses as well as certain non-recurring cash and non-cash charges and income (such as stock-based compensation expense, unrealized gains/losses on commodity derivatives and impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill), subject to pro forma adjustments for non-ordinary course acquisitions and divestitures) for the four fiscal quarter periods most recently ended, of not greater than 4.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of such fiscal quarter.

The acceleration of the obligations under the Credit Agreement as of June 14, 2020 resulted in a cross-default and acceleration of the maturity of the Company’s other outstanding long-term debt. The Credit Facility is classified as a current liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020 as it is fully secured and expected to be unimpaired.

Any borrowings under the Credit Facility are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including oil and gas properties, personal property and the equity interests of those subsidiaries of the Company. The Company has entered into oil and natural gas hedging transactions with several counterparties that are also lenders under theRBL Credit Facility.

Note 7—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 Company has historically relied on commodity derivative contracts to mitigate its exposure to lower commodity prices.

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 natural gas prices and to manage its exposure to commodity price risk. While
22

Table of Contents
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.

To reduce the impact of fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices on the Company's revenues, the Company has periodically entered into commodity derivative contracts with respect to certain of its oil and natural gas production through various transactions that limit the downside of future prices received. The Company plans to continue its practice of entering into such transactions to reduce the impact of commodity price volatility on its cash flow from operations. Future transactions may include price swaps whereby the Company will receive a fixed price for its production and pay a variable market price to the contract counterparty. Additionally, the Company may enter into collars, whereby it receives 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 and natural gas prices at targeted levels and to manage the Company's exposure to oil and natural gas price fluctuations.

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 2 counterparties, both of which are lenders under the Credit Agreement and the DIP Credit Facility. The Company has netting arrangements with the counterparty 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 is 0 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.

Effect of Chapter 11 Cases

The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted a termination event with respect to the Company’s derivative instruments, which permits the counterparties to such derivative instruments to terminate their outstanding hedges. Such termination events are not stayed under the Bankruptcy Code. During June 2020, certain of the lenders under the Credit Agreement elected to terminate their International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements and outstanding hedges with the Company for aggregate settlement proceeds of $96.1 million. The proceeds from these terminations were applied to the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. After the June 2020 terminations, the remaining active contracts consisted of the items shown in the table immediately below.

Note 9—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:
25

Table of Contents

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, 2020 and December 31, 2019 by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):hierarchy:

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. As of September 30, 2020, the Senior Notes were reclassified to liabilities subject to compromise. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents,

The carrying amounts of the Company’s Credit Facility and DIP Credit Facility approximated fair value as it bears interest at variable rates over the term of the loan. The fair values of the 2024 Senior Notes and 2026 Senior Notes were derived from available market data. As such, the Company has classified the 2024 Senior Notes and 2026 Senior Notes as Level 2.

Non-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. 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 and at least annually, 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’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;

For the nine months ended Septemberperiods from January 1, 2021 to January 20, 2021 and January 21, 2021 to June 30, 2020 and 2019,2021, the Company recognized $1.6no impairment expense on their proved oil and gas properties. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Predecessor Company recognized $0.8 million and $11.2$1.6 million, respectively, in impairment expense on its proved oil and gas properties related to impairment of assets in its northern field. Forfield as the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019,fair value did not exceed the Company recognized 0 impairment expense onPredecessor Company's carrying amount associated with its proved oil and gas properties related to impairment of assets in its northern field.

See Note 3—Fresh Start Reporting for discussion of the revaluation of the Company’s oil and gas properties upon emergence from bankruptcy.

Note 10—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 AETR applied to the year-to-date ordinary income or loss, plus the tax effect of any significant or infrequently occurring items recorded during the interim period. The computation of the estimated AETR at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgements 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, 2020 and 2019 was (0.27)2021: 16.29%
For the period from January 21, 2021 to June 30, 2021: 19.90%
For the three months ended June 30, 2020: 0
For the six months ended June 30, 2020: (0.80)% and (5.7)%, respectively.

The effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to

Net tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020period 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 result of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers limited under Section 382 of the Internal 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 naked credit deferredInternal 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 liability resultsattributes 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 expense of $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.attributes does not occur until January 1, 2022.

The Company considers whether some portion, or all,has evaluated the impact of the deferredreorganization, including the change in control, resulting from its emergence from bankruptcy. From an income tax assets (“DTAs”)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

Table of Contents
$1.3 billion. The Company believes that the Successor Company will be able to fully absorb the cancellation of debt income realized based on a more likely than not standard of judgment.by the Predecessor Company in connection with the reorganization with its adjusted NOL carryovers. The ultimate realization of DTAs is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. At December 31, 2019, the Company had a valuation allowance totaling $246.1 million against its DTAs resulting from prior year cumulative financial losses, oil and gas impairments, and significant net operating losses for U.S. federal and state income tax. The Company assesses the appropriateness of its valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2020, there was no change in the Company’s assessmentamount of the realizability of its DTAs, except for a naked credit deferred tax liability.

On July 13, 2020 the Bankruptcy Court entered a final order approving certain procedures (including notice requirements) that certain shareholders and potential shareholders must comply with regarding transfers of, or declarations of worthlessness with respect to, the Company’s common stock and preferred stock, as well as certain obligations with respect to notifying the Company with respect to current share ownership, each of which are intended to preserve the Company’s ability to use its net operating losses to offset possible future U.S. taxable income by reducing the likelihood of an ownership changeremaining NOL carryovers will be limited under Section 382 of the Code duringIRC due to the pendencychange in control as referenced in Note 3—Fresh Start Reporting. As the tax basis of the Chapter 11 Cases.Company's assets, primarily our oil and gas properties, is in excess of the carrying value, as adjusted in the fresh-start accounting process, the Successor Company is in a net deferred tax asset position. Per authoritative guidance, historical results along with expected market conditions known on the date of measurement, it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize future income tax benefits from the additional tax basis and its remaining NOL carryovers. This is periodically reassessed and could change. Accordingly, the Company has provided for a full valuation allowance of the underlying deferred tax assets.

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.

Successor Company Performance Unit Awards (“PSUs”)

Upon emergence from bankruptcy on January 20, 2021, the Successor Company granted performance stock awards ("PSAs")PSUs to certain executives under the LTIP in October 2017, March 2018, April 2019 and March 2020.2021 LTIP. The number of shares of the Company's common stockNew Common Stock that may be issued to settle these various PSAsPSUs ranges from zero to two times the number of PSAsPSUs awarded. PSA's that settle in cash are presented as liability awards. Generally, the shares issued for PSAsPSUs are determined based on the satisfaction of a time-based vesting schedule and a weighting of one or more of the following: (i) absolute total stockholder return ("ATSR"), (ii) relative total stockholder return ("RTSR"), as compared to the Company's peer group and (iii) cash return on capital invested ("CROCI") or return on invested capital ("ROIC"(“ATSR”) measured over a three-year period, and vest in their entirety at the end of the three-year measurement period. Any PSAsPSUs that have not vested at the end of the applicable measurement period are forfeited. The vesting criterion that is associated with the RTSR is based on a comparison of the 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 criteriacriterion are linked to the Successor Company's share price, they each areit is considered a market condition for purposes of calculating the grant-date fair value of the awards. The vesting criterion that is associated with the CROCI and ROIC are considered a performance condition for purposes of calculating the grant-date fair value of the awards.

The fair value of the PSAsSuccessor 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.

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. 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 Predecessor Company's PSAs, the Company cannot predict with certainty the path its stock price or the stock prices of its peer 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, or probabilistic with some direction in nature, the stochastic method, specifically the Monte Carlo Model, is deemed an appropriate method by which to determine the fair value of the PSAs. 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 Predecessor Company recorded $0.9 million and $1.0$0.1 million of stock-based compensation costs related to Predecessor Company PSAs for the period from January 1, 2021 through January 20, 2021, as compared to $0.8 million and $0.1 million for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to $0.7 million and $6.8 million of stock-based compensation costs related to PSAs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. These costs were included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations within the general“General and administrative expensesexpense” line item. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, there was $1.8 million of totalno unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested Predecessor Company PSAs granted to certain executives that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.5 years.

Successor Company Deferred Stock OptionsUnits (“DSUs”)

ExpenseUpon emergence from bankruptcy on January 20, 2021, a new Board was appointed and each Board member (except the stock options is recognized onCEO) was granted 16,800 Successor Company DSUs, which vest in quarterly installments over a straight-line basis over the serviceone-year period of the award less awards forfeited. The fair value of the stock options was measured at the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The 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. Stock options granted under the LTIP vest ratably over three years and are exercisable immediately upon vesting through the tenth anniversary offollowing the grant date.

Note 13—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 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, 2020 and 2019.

As part of Chapter 11, the Company filed a motion to reject its drilling rig contract.As such, the Company recorded $6.7 million in liabilities subject to compromise on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020 and in reorganization items, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Delivery Commitments

As part of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company is currently in the process of renegotiating certain contracts terms which include minimum volume commitments. If mutual terms cannot be reached, the Company under Chapter 11 may file a motion to reject the contract.

On November 2, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court ruled in favor of the Company rejecting several midstream contracts. As a result of these rejected contracts, the Company accrued $405.2 million within liabilities subject to compromise on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020 and in reorganization items, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The Company was subject to a firm transportation agreement that commenced in November 2016 and had a ten-year term with a monthly minimum delivery commitment of 45,000 Bbl/d in year one, 55,800 Bbl/d in year two, 61,800 Bbl/d in years three through seven and 58,000 Bbl/d in years eight through ten. Until June 2020, these were obligations of the Company’s oil marketer, which reverted back to the Company when the oil marketing contract terminated in June 2020. In May 2017, the Company amended its agreement with its oil marketer that required it to sell all of its crude oil from an area of mutual interest in exchange for a make-whole provision that allowed the Company to satisfy any minimum volume commitment deficiencies incurred by its oil marketer with future barrels of crude oil in excess of their minimum volume commitment during the contract term. In May 2019, the Company extended the term of this agreement through October 31, 2020 subject to an evergreen provision thereafter where either party can provide a six month notice of termination beginning November 1, 2020. Due to the contract termination date, the amount of consideration recognized in revenue is reduced.

crude oil delivery commitment had a monthly minimum delivery commitment of 61,800 Bbl/d through October 2023 and then would reduce to 58,000 Bbl/d through October 2026. The Company was required to pay a shortfall fee for any volume deficiencies under these commitments. On November 2, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court ruled in favor of the Company rejecting this contract with an effective date as of June 14, 2020, and, therefore, the Company has no remaining minimum delivery commitments under this transportation contract. The counterparty to this contract has indicated that it plans on appealing the ruling approving of the rejection of the contract.

The Company had 2 long-term crude oil gathering commitments with two unconsolidated subsidiaries in which the Company has a de minimis minority ownership interest. Please see Note 1—Business and Organization for information related to the deconsolidation of Elevation Midstream, LLC. The first agreement commenced in November 2016 and had a term of ten years with a minimum volume commitment of an average of 9,167 Bbl/d in year one, 17,967 Bbl/d in year two, 18,800 Bbl/d for years three through five and 10,000 Bbl/d for years six through ten. The Company may have been required to pay a shortfall fee for any volume deficiencies under this commitment. The second agreement commenced in October 2019 and had a term of ten years for an average of 3,200 Bbl/d in year one, 8,000 Bbl/d in year two, 14,000 Bbl/d in year three, 16,000 Bbl/d in years four through eight, 12,000 Bbl/d in year nine and 10,000 Bbl/d in year ten. On November 2, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court ruled in favor of the Company rejecting both of these crude oil gathering contracts with an effective date as of June 14, 2020, and, therefore, the Company has no remaining minimum delivery commitments. The counterparties to these contracts have indicated that they plan on appealing the ruling approving of the rejection of these contracts.

In February 2019, thePredecessor Company entered into twoa long-term gas gathering and processing agreementsagreement (the “Gathering Agreement”) with a third-party midstream providers. One of the agreements additionally includes a long-term NGL sales commitment for take-in-kind NGLs from other processing agreements.provider in February 2019. The first agreementGathering Agreement commenced in November 2019 and has a term of twenty years with a minimum volume commitment of 251 Bcf to be delivered within the first seven years. The annual commitments over seven years are to be delivered on an average 85,000 Mcf/d in year one, 125,000 Mcf/d in year two, 140,000 Mcf/d in year three, 118,000 Mcf/d in year four, 98,000 Mcf/d in year five, 70,000 Mcf/d in year six and 52,000 Mcf/d in year seven. The aggregate remaining amount of estimated payments under this agreement is approximately $281.5 million. The second agreement commenced on January 2020 and has a term of ten years with an annual minimum volume commitment of 13.0 Bcf in years one through ten.Bcf. The second agreementGathering Agreement also includes a commitment to sell take-in-kind NGLs from other processing agreements of 4,000 Bbl/d in the first year oneof the Gathering Agreement and 7,500 Bbl/d in years two through seven of the Gathering Agreement with the ability to roll forward up to a 10% shortfall in a given month to the subsequent month. On December 23, 2020, the Predecessor Company and the counterparty entered into a settlement and amended the Gathering Agreement (the “Settlement and Amendment”). No changes were made to the Company’s annual minimum volume commitment as a result of the settlement and amendment.

The summary of these minimum volume commitments as of September 30, 2020, was as follows:

In collaborationDecember 2016 and August 2017, the Predecessor Company agreed with several otherthird-party producers and a midstream provider on December 15, 2016 and August 7, 2017, the Company agreed to participate in expansions ofexpand natural gas gathering and processing capacity in the DJ Basin. The plan includesBasin, including through the addition of 2 new processing plants as well as the expansion of related gathering systems. The first plant commenced operations in August 2018 and the second plant commenced operations in July 2019. The Company’s share of these commitments will requirerequires an incremental 51.5 and 20.6 MMcf per day, respectively, over a baseline volume of 65 MMcf per day to be delivered after the plants' in-service dates for a period of seven years thereafter.following the in-service dates of the plants. The Company may be required to pay a shortfall fee for any incremental volume deficiencydeficiencies under these commitments. These contractual obligations can be reduced by the Company’s proportionate share of the collective volumes delivered to the plants by other third-party incremental volumes available to the midstream provider at the new facilities that are in excess of the total commitments. The Company is also required for the first three years of each contract to guarantee a certain target profit margin on these volumes sold.

In July 2019, the Company entered into 3 long-term contracts to supply 125,000 dekatherms of residue gas per day for five years to a transportation company. The aggregate remaining amount of estimated commitment assuming no production is $27.5 million. The Company has posted a letter of credit for this agreement in the amount of $8.7 million.

The Company is considering rejecting certain midstream contracts with minimum volume commitments as part of the Chapter 11 Cases. The aggregate amount of estimated remaining payments under agreements that have not been rejected is $309.0 million.

Elevation Gathering Agreements

In July 2018, the Company entered into three long-term gathering agreements (the "Elevation Gathering Agreements") for gas, crude oil and produced water with Elevation. Under the agreements, the Company agreed to drill 100 wells in Broomfield and 325 wells in Hawkeye by December 31, 2023 if both facilities are to be built, subject to adjustments if less capital is spent. Elevation has alleged that if the Company fails to complete the wells by the applicable commitment deadline, then it would be in breach of the agreement and Elevation could attempt to assert damages against Extraction and its affiliates. During the first quarter of 2020, Elevation postponed indefinitely further development of gathering systems and facilities that were to be constructed to service the Company's acreage in Hawkeye and another project in the Southwest Wattenberg area. Due to the decision to not complete the Hawkeye facilities and based on the amount of capital invested, Elevation has asserted that the drilling commitment now consists of 297 wells in the Broomfield area of operations with a deadline of December 31, 2022.

In April 2019, the Elevation Gathering Agreements were amended to provide for, among other amendments, the inclusion of additional gathering facilities that would produce into Elevation’s Badger facility. Pursuant to this amendment, Elevation has asserted that the additional gathering facilities were required to be completed by April 1, 2020 or, within 30 days of such date, Elevation could assert that Extraction must make a payment to Elevation in the amount of 135% of all costs incurred by Elevation as of such date for the development and construction of such additional gathering facilities. As of September 30, 2020, the costs incurred by Elevation for these additional gathering facilities totaled $34.9 million. The Company did not cause the completion of these additional gathering facilities by April 1, 2020, and Elevation has alleged that Extraction is in breach of the Elevation Gathering Agreements. On April 2, 2020, Elevation demanded payment of $46.8 million due to an alleged breach in contract stemming from a purported failure to complete the pipeline extensions connecting certain wells to the Badger central gathering facility prior to April 1, 2020. While the Company disputes that these amounts are due to Elevation, under ASC Topic 450 - Contingencies, the Company recorded the amount in liabilities subject to compromise on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 and in other operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In December 2019, the Elevation Gathering Agreements were further amended to provide Elevation additional connection fees that are consistent with market terms (the "Connect Fees"). In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company incurred and paid $19.5 million for Connect Fees pursuant to the Elevation Gathering Agreements, and in the first quarter of 2020 the Company incurred and paid $23.5 million. The Company does not expect to incur additional Connect Fees for the year ending December 31, 2020.

In March 2020, the Elevation Gathering Agreements were further amended to reset all gathering rates and eliminate existing minimum drilling commitment. This amendment will not become effective until after all Elevation Preferred Units have been redeemed in full or are otherwise no longer outstanding.

In November 2020, the Company and Elevation reached an agreement in principle regarding amendments to the gathering agreements and the settlement of outstanding claims. The Company anticipates finalizing the settlement in the fourth quarter of 2020, pending Bankruptcy Court approval. As part of the settlement, the Company will pay Elevation $38.4 million in cash over 24 months following the Company’s emergence from chapter 11 and both parties agreed Elevation will be allowed to submit an unsecured claim $80.0 million with the Bankruptcy Court. The agreement would also release certain areas from future dedication, provide a reduction in gathering fees, a reduction in the number of wells subject to the drilling commitment, and an extended term in order to satisfy the drilling commitment. The Company had previously accrued $46.8 million as discussed above and $2.9 million of accrued interest. Therefore, during the third quarter of 2020, the Company accrued $68.7 million within liabilities subject to compromise on the condensed

COGCC Notices of Alleged Violations (“NOAVs”).. The Company haspreviously received NOAVs from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (the "COGCC"“COGCC”) for alleged compliance violationsviolations. On July 27, 2021, the COGCC approved a global settlement agreement with the Company that resolves these NOAVs. The settlement agreement requires the Company to make a cash payment to the COGCC of $0.1 million and also contains an obligation that the Company has responded to.

The Company does not believecomplete pubic projects that any penalties that could result from these NOAVs will have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, but they may exceed $100,000.

Midstream Connections. The Company had dedicated the production from some acreage to a certain midstream service provider. However,cost the Company was unable to connect well pads to the provider due to the inability to secure right of way access for building the connection pipeline. Because the acreage’s production was dedicated to the midstream provider, they have invoiced the Company for oil and gas handled by other midstream providers. The Company disputes these invoices based on force majeure and may have other contractual or legal defenses. The Company’s maximum exposure as of September 30, 2020 was $19.5approximately $0.5 million. As of September 30, 2020, no contingent liability has been recorded as it is not probable a loss has been incurred, and the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated.

Elevation Gathering. As discussed above under Elevation Gathering Agreements, on April 2, 2020, Elevation demanded payment of $46.8 million due to an alleged breach in contract stemming from a purported failure to complete the pipeline extensions connecting certain wells to the Badger central gathering facility prior to April 1, 2020. While the Company disputes that these amounts are due to Elevation, under ASC Topic 450 - Contingencies, the Company recorded the amount in liabilities subject to compromise on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 and in other operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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 and management. In addition, the

results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil, natural gas and NGL that are ultimately recovered.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We are an independent oil and gas company focused on the acquisition, development and production of oil, natural gas and NGL reserves as well as the construction and support of midstream assets to gather crude oil, natural gas and water production in the Rocky Mountain region, primarily in the Wattenberg Field of the 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-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.

Elevation Gathering Agreements

In November 2020, the Company and Elevation reached an agreement in principle regarding amendments to the gathering agreements and the settlement of outstanding claims. The Company anticipates finalizing the settlement in the fourth quarter of 2020, pending Bankruptcy Court approval. As part of the settlement, the Company will pay Elevation $38.4 million in cash over 24 months following the Company’s emergence from chapter 11 and both parties agreed Elevation will be allowed to submit an unsecured claim of $80.0 million with the Bankruptcy Court. The agreement would also release certain areas from future dedication, provide a reduction in gathering fees, a reduction in the number of wells subject to the drilling commitment, and an extended term in order to satisfy the drilling commitment. We accrued $46.8 million discussed at Note 14—Commitment and Contingencies in Part I, Item 1. Financial Information of this Quarterly Report and $2.9 million of accrued interest. Therefore, during the third quarter of 2020, we accrued $68.7 million within liabilities subject to compromise on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020 and in reorganization items, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

during March and April causing further price declines and ultimately causing oil prices to plummet. We expect the excess supply of oil and natural gas in the United States to continue for a sustained period.

The COVID-19 outbreak and its development into a pandemic in March 2020 have required that we take precautionary measures intended to help minimize the risk to our business, employees, customers, suppliers and the communities in which we operate. Our operational employees are currently still able to work on site. However, we have taken various precautionary measures with respect to such operational employees such as requiring them to verify they have not experienced any symptoms consistent with COVID-19, or been in close contact with someone showing such symptoms, before reporting to the work site, quarantining any operational employees who have shown signs of COVID-19 (regardless of whether such employee has been confirmed to be infected) and imposing social distancing requirements on work sites, all in accordance with the guidelines released by the Center for Disease Control. In addition, most of our non-operational employees are now working remotely. We have not yet experienced any material operational disruptions (including disruptions from our suppliers and service providers) as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, nor have we had any confirmed cases of COVID-19 on any of our work sites.

Due to the decline in crude oil prices and ongoing uncertainty regarding the oil supply-demand macro environment, we have recently reduced our operations in order to preserve capital. Specifically, as part of the Chapter 11 Cases, we have rejected our drilling rig contracts and certain equipment and compression agreements as discussed in Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies in Part I, Item 1.

Elevation Common Units

On May 1, 2020, Elevation's board of managers issued 1,530,000,000 common units at a price of $0.01 per unit to certain of Elevation's members other than Extraction through the Capital Raise. The Capital Raise caused our ownership of Elevation to be diluted to less than 0.01%. As a result of the Capital Raise, beginning in May 2020 Extraction began accounting Elevation under the cost method of accounting. We reserve all rights related to actions taken by Elevation’s board of managers.

Midstream Projects

Primarily due to the significant decrease in oil and gas prices during March 2020, Elevation postponed indefinitely further development of gathering systems and facilities that were to be constructed to service our acreage in Hawkeye and another projectapproximately $2.7 million in the Southwest Wattenberg area.

Senate Bill 19-181 "Protect Public Welfare Oil and Gas Operations"

In April 2019, Senate Bill 19-181 ("SB181") became law, increasing the regulatory authority of local governments in Colorado over the surface impacts of oil and gas development in a necessary and reasonable manner, and in October 2020, Colorado's Air Quality Control Commission ("AQCC") adopted new rules targeting air emissions from upstream oil and gas operation. Among other things, SB181 (i) repeals a prior law restricting local government land use authority over oil and gas mineral extraction areas to areas designated by the COGCC, (ii) directs the AQCC to review its leak detection and repair rules and to adopt rules to minimize emissions of certain air pollutants, (iii) clarifies that local governments have authority to regulate the siting of oil and gas locations in a necessary and reasonable manner, including the ability to inspect oil and gas facilities, impose finesJune 30, 2021 for leaks, spills, and emissions, and impose fees on operators or owners to cover regulation and enforcement costs, (iv) allows local governments or oil and gas operators to request a technical review board to evaluate the effect of the local government’s preliminary or final determination on the operator’s application, (v) repeals an exemption for oil and gas production from counties’ authority to regulate noise, (vi) alters forced pooling requirements by increasing the threshold to compel non-consenting individuals into statutory pooling agreements and (vii) prioritizes the protection of public health, safety, and welfare, the environment, and wildlife resources in the regulation of oil and gas development. Although industry trade associations opposed SB181, Extraction has demonstrated an ability to continue to successfully operate our business. However, the enactment of SB181 and the development and implementation of related rules and regulations, which is under way, could lead to delays and additional costs to our business. Also, certain interest groups in Colorado opposed to oil and natural gas development generally have in previous years advanced various alternatives for ballot initiatives which would result in significantly limiting or preventing oil and natural gas development in the state.

Resulting from Colorado’s adoption of SB181 during 2019, the COGCC is currently in the process of promulgating rules associated with that legislation that, if passed, would, among other things, impose mandatory 2,000 foot setbacks for all schools and childcare centers, as well as new siting criteria for any oil and gas locations that are within 2,000 feet from residential building units. The rules additionally require local government permitting approval that could add additional timing and complexity burdens and curtail the pace of our new oil and gas development. A formal vote related to these proposed rules is expected to take place in late November 2020, and if passed, the new rules are expected to take effect on January 1, 2021.

Though these new siting zones add a number of new criteria for permitting, at this time, the promulgation of these rules has not resulted in any significant changes to our development plans. Extraction has all necessary state and local approvals for 116 permits to drill wells over the next several years. However, if additional regulatory measures are adopted, we could experience delays and/or curtailment in the permitting or pursuit of exploration, development or production activities. Such compliance requirements may lead to delays and additional costs to our operations and reduce the area available for future development of our operations. The discretion with which these new rules are interpreted and enforced by the new COGCC could additionally have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.post-closing adjustments.

Sources of Revenues

Our revenues are derived from the sale of our oil and natural gas production, as well as the sale of NGLs 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, 2021, our revenues were derived 62% from oil sales, 18% from natural gas sales and 20% from NGL sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, our revenues were derived 58% from oil sales, 25% from natural gas sales and 17% from NGL sales. For the combined six months ended June 30, 2021, our revenues were derived 52% from oil sales, 32% from natural gas sales and 16% from NGL sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our revenues were derived 71% from oil sales, 15%17% from natural gas sales and 14% from NGL sales.

As reservoir 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. 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 refer 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, 2020,2021, NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) oil prices ranged from a high of $107.26$74.05 per Bbl to a low of negative $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 $1.48 per MMBtu during the same period. DeclinesFluctuations in and continued depression of, the price of oil and natural gas occurring during 2015, 2019, 2020 and 20202021 are due to a combination of factors including increased U.S. supply, global economic concerns stemming from COVID-19, and the price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia.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 predominantly 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.

Table of Contents
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.

(3) During the first quarter of 2021, our renegotiated crude oil midstream contract was effective as of March 1, 2021, which resulted in a change in the accounting treatment under ASC 606. As a result, the crude oil differential for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 is not reflective of our differential going forward.
(4) Based on the difference between our average realized price and the NYMEX Henry Hub Average as converted into Mcf using a conversion factor of 1.1 to 1.
(5) 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 for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 benefited from several days of severe cold during February 2021.

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, we may choose to restructure existing derivative contracts or enter into new transactions to modify the terms of current contracts. 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.

Table of Contents
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. We 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. 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.
The hedge prices will depend on the commodity price environment at the time at which those hedge transactions are entered into.entered. In the current commodity price environment, our ability to enter into derivative arrangements at favorable prices may be limited, and, we are not obligated to hedge a specific portion of our oil or natural gas production.limited.

For a description of our derivative instruments that we utilize and a summary of our commodity derivative contracts as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, please see Note 7—5—Commodity Derivative Instruments in Part I, Item 1. Financial Information1 of this Quarterly Report.

Adjusted EBITDAX

Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income (loss) as determined by 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, non-recurring charges in other operating expenses, exploration and abandonment expenses, gain on sale of property and equipment, (gain) loss on commodity derivatives, settlements on commodity derivative instruments, premiums paid for derivatives that settled during the period, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of debt issuance costs, gain on repurchase of senior notes, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), loss on deconsolidation of Elevation Midstream, LLC and reorganization items, net. Adjusted EBITDAX is also used to evaluate the performanceGAAP financial measure of reportable segments. Please see Note 16—Segment Information in Part I, Item 1.

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 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) lessbefore 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 construct and support midstream assets, 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.
During the Chapter 11 Cases, we expect our financial results to continue to bewere volatile as restructuring activities and expenses, contract terminations and rejections, and claims assessments significantly impactimpacted our financial results. For the three and ninecombined six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, prior to emergence, we incurred $501.1realized an $873.9 million and $528.0 million of reorganization items, net respectively, as compared to none in 2019.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 ninecombined six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively, exploration and abandonment expenses increaseddecreased primarily due to the abandonment of $179.0$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 $26.2 milliongas properties. See Note 3—Fresh Start Reporting in Item 1 of unproved properties.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 condensed consolidated statements of operations for the ninesix months ended September 30, 2020. Please see Note 1—Business and Organization — Deconsolidation of Elevation Midstream, LLC in Part I, Item 1. Financial Information of this Quarterly Report for information related to the deconsolidation of Elevation Midstream, LLC.
On April 2, 2020, Elevation demanded payment of $46.8 million due to an alleged breach in contract stemming from a purported failure to complete the pipeline extensions connecting certain wells to the Badger central gathering facility prior to April 1, 2020. While we dispute that these amounts are due to Elevation, under ASC Topic 450 - Contingencies, we recorded the amount in other operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, our crude oil sales averaged 30.625.8 MBbl/d. Our crude oil sales volume decreased by 7791,070 to 2,8182,349 MBbl for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 compared to 3,5973,419 MBbl for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. The volume decrease is primarily due to the natural decline of our existing properties, and 0.4 MBbl of oil that was produced but not sold due to line fill requirements under our long-term crude oil delivery commitment agreement,only partially offset by an increase in production from the completion of 5140 gross wells from OctoberJuly 1, 20192020 to SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021, 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 crude oil was $39.41$59.22 per Bbl for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 compared to $41.99$10.61 per Bbl for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, crude oil revenue decreased $22.2$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 SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, no such decrease in crude oil revenue was recorded.

Natural gas sales revenues. Natural gas sales revenues increased by $7.6$23.5 million to $24.4$39.5 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 as compared to natural gas sales revenues of $16.8$16.0 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. An increase in natural gas prices contributed a $25.1 million positive impact, while a decrease in sales volumes between these periods contributed a $4.5$1.6 million positive impact, while an increase in natural gas prices contributed a $3.1 million positivenegative impact.

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, our natural gas sales averaged 198.7174.0 MMcf/d. Natural gas sales volumes increaseddecreased by 3,8591,709 to 18,27715,834 MMcf for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 as compared to 14,41817,543 MMcf for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. The volume increasedecrease is primarily due to the completion of 51 gross wells from October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020, 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 $1.34$2.49 per Mcf for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 compared to $1.17$0.91 per Mcf for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, primarily due to an increase of volumes on a certain gathering system forin pricing as compared to the three months ending SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.

NGL sales revenues. NGL sales revenues increased by $13.6$34.2 million to $22.7$45.0 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 as compared to NGL sales revenues of $9.1$10.8 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. An increase in sales volumesprices between these periods contributed a $4.8$34.2 million positive impact, while a decrease in volumes contributed an increase in price contributed a $8.8 million positiveimmaterial negative impact.

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, our NGL sales averaged 23.321.8 MBbl/d. NGL sales volumes increased by 7568 to 2,1461,987 MBbl for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 as compared to 1,3901,979 MBbl for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. The volume increase is primarily due to the completion of 5140 gross wells from OctoberJuly 1, 20192020 to SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, 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 $10.60$22.67 per Bbl for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 compared to $6.55$5.47 per Bbl for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, primarily due to an increase of volumes on a certain gathering system.in pricing as compared to the three months ending June 30, 2020.

Lease operating expenses.expenses (“LOE”). Our LOE decreased by $10.6$9.3 million to $12.4$13.7 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, from $23.0 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019. The decrease in LOE was primarily2020. While oil revenue increased for the result of a decrease in labor, rental equipment and workover repairs in an effortthree months ended June 30, 2021, 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, 2020.2021. On a per unit basis, LOE decreased to $1.55$1.97 per BOE sold for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 from $3.11$2.76 per BOE for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.

Transportation and gathering (“T&G”). Our T&G expense decreased by $4.7 million to $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 June 30, 2021 compared to $3.16 per BOE sold for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

The increase in T&G was primarily due to an increase of volumes on a certain gathering system and a change in oil contracts during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. On a per unit basis, T&G increased to $6.26 per BOE sold for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $0.94 per BOE sold for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Production taxes. Our production taxes decreased by $8.0 million to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $9.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreasedincreased revenue as production taxes are calculated as a percentage of sales revenue. Production taxes as a percentage of sales revenue was 1.1%were 4.9% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 as compared to 5.5%7.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in production taxes as a percentage of sales revenue relates to a decrease in the estimated ad valorem and severance tax rates and an adjustment to the estimated ad valorem tax payable for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.

Exploration and abandonment expenses. Our exploration and abandonment expenses were $9.8$3.6 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, of which $9.5 million was lease abandonment expense.2021. For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we recognized $13.2$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 ("(“DD&A"&A”). Our DD&A expense decreased $29.7$32.5 million to $85.3$50.1 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 as compared to $115.0$82.6 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. On a per unit basis, DD&A expense decreased to $10.65$7.18 per BOE for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 from $15.56$9.93 per BOE for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019. This decrease is2020. 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 $1.3 billion$208.5 million of proved oil and gas properties that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2019.2020.

General and administrative expenses ("(“G&A"&A”). General and administrative expenses decreased by $15.8$14.2 million to $11.6$10.9 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 as compared to $27.4$25.1 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. This decrease is primarily due to reductions of workforce during the first and second quarters of 2020 and a decrease in stock-based compensation expensepre-petition advisory fees recognized for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2021. On a per unit basis, G&A expense decreased to $1.45$1.57 per BOE sold for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 from $3.71$3.02 per BOE sold for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.

Our G&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 includes $0.3 million related to the terms of a separation agreement with a former executive officer. No expenses of this nature were incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Our G&A expenses include the non-cash expense for stock-based compensation for equity awards granted to our employees and directors. For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, there was $1.9$2.8 million of stock-based compensation expense. For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, stock-based compensation expense was $11.4$2.6 million.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses were $9.8decreased by $7.8 million to $5.4 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 as compared to $13.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This amountdecrease is due primarily made upto non-recurring early termination penalties of $11.9 million, which includes a $3.7$9.5 million early termination fee related to the termination of our crude 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 merger and acquisition costs of $6.6 million.

Commodity derivative loss. Primarily due to the increase in NYMEX crude oil future prices at June 30, 2021 as compared to March 31, 2021 and change in fair value from the execution of new positions, we incurred a net loss on our commodity derivatives of $75.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Primarily due to the increase in NYMEX crude oil futures prices at June 30, 2020 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, 2020. 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.

Reorganization items, net. Due to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases during the second quarter of 2020, we have incurred significant costs associated with our reorganization, primarily from damages for rejected or settled contracts and legal and professional fees. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $26.9 million of reorganization items, net due to the Company entering into bankruptcy proceedings. No reorganization gain or loss was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Interest expense. Interest expense consists of interest expense on our long-term debt and amortization of debt issuance costs, net of capitalized interest. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized interest expense of $2.2 million as compared to $20.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Upon filing its petition for Chapter 11, we ceased accruing interest expense on our 2024 and 2026 Senior Notes. We had outstanding debt of $90.0 million as of June 30, 2021.

We incurred interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $1.8 million related to our RBL Credit Facility. We incurred interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of approximately $20.2 million related to our Prior Credit Facility, DIP Credit Facility, our 2024 Senior Notes, and our 2026 Senior Notes. 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.

Gathering and facilities segment. Prior to March 31, 2020, we had two operating segments, (i) the exploration and production segment, and (ii) the gathering and facilities segment. Please see Note 1—Business and Organization—Deconsolidation of Elevation Midstream, LLC to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report for further information.

Combined Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

Oil sales revenues. Crude oil sales revenues increased by $106.3 million to $266.8 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to crude oil sales of $160.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. An increase in crude oil prices contributed a $158.1 million positive impact, and a decrease in sales volumes between these periods contributed a $51.8 million negative impact. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, crude oil revenue decreased by approximately $12.3 million due to the contract term impacting the amount of consideration that could be included in the transaction price, which reduced oil sales revenue pursuant to ASC 606.

For the combined six months ended June 30, 2021, our crude oil sales averaged 25.9 MBbl/d. Our crude oil sales volume decreased by 2,236 to 4,687 MBbl for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 6,923 MBbl for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The volume decrease is primarily due to the natural decline of our existing properties, partially offset by an increase in production tax interestfrom 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 crude oil was $56.92 per Bbl for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $23.18 per Bbl for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to changes in market prices for crude oil and the $12.3 million decrease of crude oil revenue explained above.

Natural gas sales revenues. Natural gas sales revenues increased by $126.3 million to $164.6 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to natural gas sales revenues of $38.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. An increase in natural gas prices contributed a $132.5 million positive impact, while a decrease in sales volumes between these periods contributed a $6.2 million negative impact.

For the combined six months ended June 30, 2021, our natural gas sales averaged 169.1 MMcf/d. Natural gas sales volumes decreased by 5,936 to 30,610 MMcf for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to 36,546 MMcf for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The volume decrease is primarily due to the the natural decline on existing producing 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 $5.38 per Mcf for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1.05 per Mcf for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to an increase in demand in February 2021 due to multiple days of severe cold as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

NGL sales revenues. NGL sales revenues increased by $56.7 million to $84.7 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to NGL sales revenues of $28.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. An increase in price contributed a $58.6 million positive impact, while a decrease in sales volumes between these periods contributed a $1.9 million negative impact.

For the combined six months ended June 30, 2021, our NGL sales averaged 20.0 MBbl/d. NGL sales volumes decreased by 255 to 3,630 MBbl for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to 3,885 MBbl for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The volume decrease is primarily due to the natural decline on existing producing properties, partially offset by the completion of 40 gross wells from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021. 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 $23.33 per Bbl for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $7.21 per Bbl for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to an increase in demand in February 2021 due to multiple days of severe cold as compared to the combined six months ended June 30, 2020.

Lease operating expenses. Our LOE decreased by $26.5 million to $26.9 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021, from $53.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. While oil revenue increased for the six months ended June 30, 2021, oil volumes were down for the reasons mentioned above. This allowed the company to optimize our field cost structure during the combined six months ended June 30, 2021. On a per unit basis, LOE decreased to $2.01 per BOE sold for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 from $3.16 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Transportation and gathering ("T&G"). Our T&G expense increased by $1.9 million to $51.0 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021, from $49.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in T&G was primarily due to revenue contract changes and $2.9a decrease in production during the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. On a per unit basis, T&G increased to $3.80 per BOE sold for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $2.91 per BOE sold for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Production taxes. Our production taxes increased by $17.5 million to $35.6 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 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 6.9% for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to 7.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Exploration and abandonment expenses. Our exploration and abandonment expenses were $4.7 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021. Due to the decrease in pricing, all of the unproved property in our northern field was abandoned and impaired in the first quarter of 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $175.1 million in exploration and abandonment expenses.

Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. Our DD&A expense decreased $53.9 million to $104.8 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $158.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. On a per unit basis, DD&A expense decreased to $7.81 per BOE for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 from $9.39 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2020. These decreases are due to the $326.0

Impairment of long lived assets. For the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, impairment expense was $0.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The impairment expense recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2020 related to an alleged breachthe proved oil and gas properties in contract.our northern field as the fair value did not exceed the carrying amount associated with the properties.

General and administrative expenses ("G&A"). General and administrative expenses decreased by $15.0 million to $20.7 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $35.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease is primarily due to reductions of workforce during the first and second quarters of 2020, and a decrease in stock-based compensation expense recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the combined six months ended June 30, 2021. On a per unit basis, G&A expense decreased to $1.54 per BOE sold for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 from $2.12 per BOE sold for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Our G&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 includes $2.5 million related to the terms of separation agreements with two former executive officers. No expenses of this nature were incurred during the combined six months ended June 30, 2021.

For the combined six months ended June 30, 2021, there was $5.2 million of stock-based compensation expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, there was $2.6 million of stock-based compensation expense.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses decreased by $59.3 million to $10.4 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $69.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This $59.3 million decrease is primarily due to year-over-year decreases in litigation expense of $47.2 million and early termination penalties of $9.1 million.

Commodity derivative gain (loss). Primarily due to the increase in NYMEX crude oil futurefutures prices at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 as compared to June 30,December 31, 2020 and change in fair value from the execution of new positions, we incurred a net loss on our commodity derivatives of $9.7$116.9 million for the threecombined six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. Primarily due to the decrease in NYMEX crude oil futures prices at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 as compared to June 30,December 31, 2019 and change in fair value from the execution of new positions and unwinds of existing positions, we incurred a net gain on our commodity derivatives of $88.0$193.7 million for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, including the amortization of premiums.2020. These gains and losses are a result of our hedging program, which is used to mitigate our exposure to commodity price fluctuations.

Reorganization items, net. Due to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases during the second quarter of 2020, we have incurred and will continue to incur significant costs associated with our reorganization, primarily from damages for rejected or settled contracts and legal and professional fees. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $501.1 million in reorganization items. No reorganization items were recognized during the same period in the preceding year. Please see to Note 5—Reorganization Items, Net in Part I, Item I, Financial Information of this Quarterly Report.

Interest expense. Interest expense consists of interest expense on our long-term debt and amortization of debt issuance costs, net of capitalized interest. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized interest expense of $7.4 million as compared to $23.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as a result of borrowings under our DIP Credit Facility, our Credit Facility, our 2024 Senior Notes, our 2026 Senior Notes and the amortization of debt issuance costs. As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, no interest has been accrued on our 2024 and 2026 Senior Notes since June 14, 2020.

We incurred interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 of $8.1 million related to our Credit Facility and DIP Credit Facility. We incurred interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 of approximately $23.9 million related to our Credit Facility, our 2024 Senior Notes, and our 2026 Senior Notes. Also included in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was the amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we capitalized interest expense of $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Income tax expense. We recorded no income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and $14.8 million of income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This resulted in an effective tax rate of approximately zero and 30.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 differs from the U.S. statutory income tax rates of 21.0% primarily due to the effects of state income taxes, estimated taxable permanent differences, and valuation allowance.

Gathering and facilities segment. Prior to March 31, 2020, we had two operating segments, (i) the exploration, development and production of oil, natural gas and NGL (the "exploration and production segment") and (ii) the construction, operation and support of midstream assets to gather and process crude oil and gas production (the "gathering and facilities segment"). Please see Note 1—Business and Organization — Deconsolidation of Elevation Midstream, LLC in Part I, Item I, Financial Information of this Quarterly Report for further information related to the deconsolidation of Elevation Midstream, LLC.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

Oil sales revenues. Crude oil sales revenues decreased by $230.0 million to $271.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to crude oil sales of $501.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. A decrease in sales volumes between these periods contributed a $50.4 million negative impact, and a decrease in crude oil prices contributed a $179.6 million negative impact. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, crude oil revenue decreased by approximately $12.3 million as compared to a crude oil revenue decrease of approximately $22.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020, our crude oil sales averaged 35.6 MBbl/d. Our crude oil sales volume decreased by 10% to 9,741 MBbl for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 10,830 MBbl for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The volume decrease is primarily due to the natural decline of our existing properties and 0.4 MBbl of oil that was produced but not sold due to line fill requirements under our long-term crude oil delivery commitment agreement, partially offset by an increase in production from the completion of 51 gross wells from October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020.

The average price we realized on the sale of crude oil was $27.88 per Bbl for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $46.31 per Bbl for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to changes in market prices for crude oil and the decreases of $12.3 million and $22.2 million, respectively, in crude oil revenue explained above.

Natural gas sales revenues. Natural gas sales revenues decreased by $11.7 million to $62.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to natural gas sales revenues of $74.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. An increase in sales volumes between these periods contributed a $19.5 million positive impact, while a decrease in natural gas prices contributed a $31.2 million negative impact.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our natural gas sales averaged 200.1 MMcf/d. Natural gas sales volumes increased by 11,390 to 54,823 MMcf for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to 43,433 MMcf for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The volume increase is primarily due to the completion of 51 gross wells from October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020, partially offset by the natural decline on existing producing properties.

The average price we realized on the sale of our natural gas was $1.14 per Mcf for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1.71 per Mcf for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to capacity constraints in transporting the wet gas associated with crude oil production coupled with a negative commodity price environment due to oversupply and a decrease in demand.

NGL sales revenues. NGL sales revenues increased by $5.9 million to $50.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to NGL sales revenues of $44.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. An increase in sales volumes between these periods contributed a $21.1 million positive impact, while a decrease in price contributed a $15.2 million negative impact.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our NGL sales averaged 22.0 MBbl/d. NGL sales volumes increased by 1,934 to 6,031 MBbl for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to 4,097 MBbl for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The volume increase is primarily due to the completion of 51 gross wells from October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020, 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 $8.42 per Bbl for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $10.97 per Bbl for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to capacity constraints in transporting the wet gas associated with crude oil production coupled with a negative commodity price environment due to oversupply and a decrease in demand.

Lease operating expenses. Our LOE decreased by $2.6 million to $65.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from $68.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in LOE was primarily the result of optimization of our field cost structure during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. On a per unit basis, LOE decreased to $2.64 per BOE sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $3.09 per BOE for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Transportation and gathering. Our T&G expense increased by $70.2 million to $99.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from $29.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in T&G was primarily due to an increase of volumes on a certain gathering system and a change in oil contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. On a per unit basis, T&G increased to $3.98 per BOE sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1.31 per BOE sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Production taxes. Our production taxes decreased by $26.6 million to $19.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $46.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreased revenue as production taxes are calculated as a percentage of sales revenue. Production taxes as a percentage of sales revenue was 5.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to 7.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in production taxes as a percentage of sales

revenue relates to a decrease in the estimated ad valorem and severance tax rates and an adjustment to the estimated ad valorem tax payable for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Exploration and abandonment expenses. Our exploration and abandonment expenses were $184.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, of which $179.0 million was lease abandonment expense. Due to the decrease in pricing, all of the unproved property in our northern field was abandoned and impaired in the first quarter of 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized $32.7 million in exploration and abandonment expenses.

Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. Our DD&A expense decreased $108.1 million to $244.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $352.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. On a per unit basis, DD&A expense decreased to $9.79 per BOE for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $15.89 per BOE for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease is due to an impairment of $1.3 billion of proved oil and gas properties that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2019.

Impairment of long lived assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, impairment expense was $1.6 million and $11.2 million, respectively, related to impairment of the proved oil and gas properties in our northern field as the fair value did not exceed the carrying amount associated with the properties.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by $38.4 million to $47.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $85.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease is primarily due to reductions of workforce during the first and second quarters of 2020, and a decrease in stock-based compensation expense recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. On a per unit basis, G&A expense decreased to $1.90 per BOE sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $3.87 per BOE sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Our G&A expenses include the non-cash expense for stock-based compensation for equity awards granted to our employees and directors. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, there was $4.3 million of stock-based compensation expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, stock-based compensation expense was $39.3 million.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses were $75.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This amount is primarily made up of a $46.8 million loss contingency from an alleged breach in contract stemming from a purported failure to complete the pipeline extensions connecting certain wells to the Badger central gathering facility prior to April 1, 2020, $2.9 million of accrued interest related to the aforementioned alleged breach in contract, a $13.2 million early termination fee related to the termination of our crude oil marketing contract, a $7.5 million charge to income for expenses related to a workforce reduction in February and May 2020, a $2.4 million charge to income for expenses related to certain drilling rig standby charges during the second quarter of 2020 and a $2.4 million charge to income for interest expense on unpaid production taxes.

Commodity derivative gain. Primarily due to the decrease in NYMEX crude oil futures prices at September 30, 2020 as compared to December 31, 2019 and change in fair value from the execution of new positions, we incurred a net gain on our commodity derivatives of $184.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Primarily due to the decrease in NYMEX crude oil futures prices at September 30, 2019 as compared to December 31, 2018 and change in fair value from the execution of new positions, we incurred a net gain on our commodity derivatives of $39.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, including the amortization of premiums. These gains 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020, we settled commodity derivatives totaling $180.8 million with $84.7 million in cash received and $96.1 million in unwound derivatives that reduced the amount drawn on the Credit Facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we paid settlements of commodity derivatives totaling $8.4 million.

Loss on deconsolidation of Elevation Midstream, LLC. On March 16, 2020, we deconsolidated Elevation Midstream, LLC. Upon deconsolidation, we elected the fair value option to remeasure the Elevation equity method investment and determined it had no fair value. The Company recorded a $73.1 million loss on deconsolidation of Elevation Midstream, LLC in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.

Reorganization items, net. Due to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases during the second quarter of 2020, we have incurred and will continue to incur significant costs associated with our reorganization, primarily from damages for rejected or settled contracts and legal and professional fees. For the ninecombined six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we recognized $528.0a $873.9 million gain in reorganization items. Noitems, net due to emergence from bankruptcy and a gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise.

Interest expense. Interest expense consists of interest expense on our long-term debt and amortization of debt issuance costs, net of capitalized interest. For the ninecombined six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we recognized interest expense of $49.1$6.7 million as compared to $54.8$41.7 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, as a result of borrowings under our RBL Credit Facility, DIP Credit Facility, ourPrior Credit Facility, our 2024 Senior Notes, our 2026 Senior Notes and the amortization of debt issuance costs. As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, no interest has been accrued on our 2024 and 2026 Senior Notes since June 14, 2020.

We incurred interest expense for the ninecombined six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 of $50.6 $5.9��million related to our 2024 Senior Notes, 2026 Senior Notes,RBL Credit Facility, Prior Credit Facility and DIP Credit Facility. We incurred interest expense for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 of approximately $66.9$42.5 million related to our Prior Credit Facility and DIP Credit Facility, our 2024 Senior Notes, and our 2026 Senior Notes. Also included in interest expense for the ninecombined six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was the amortization of debt issuance costs of $3.3$1.0 million and $3.8$3.2 million, respectively. For the ninecombined six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,for the six months ended June 30, 2020, we capitalized interest expense of $4.9$0.2 million and $5.4$4.0 million, respectively. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 also includes $10.5 million of gain on debt extinguishment upon the repurchase of our 2026 Senior Notes.

Income tax expense. We recorded income tax expense of $28.1 million for the combined six months ended June 30, 2021 and $2.2 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020 and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.2020. This resulted in an effective tax rate of approximately (0.27)%19.9% and (5.7)(0.8)% for the ninecombined six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,for the six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 differsrates differ from the U.S. statutory income tax ratesrate of 21.0% primarily due to the effects of state income taxes, estimated taxable permanent differences, and valuation allowance.

Gathering and facilities segment. Prior to March 31, 2020, we had two operating segments, (i) the exploration, development and production of oil, natural gas and NGL (the "exploration and production segment") and (ii) the construction, operation and support of midstream assets to gather and process crude oil and gas production (the "gathering and facilities segment"). Please see Note 1—Business and Organization — Deconsolidation of Elevation Midstream, LLC in Part I, Item I, Financial Information of this Quarterly Report for further information related to the deconsolidation of Elevation Midstream, LLC.

In October 2019, Elevation commenced moving crude oil, natural gas and water through its Badger central gathering facility. Because Elevation had no revenue and insignificant operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, comparison to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 is not relevant. Extraction's condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020 did not contain any Elevation activity due to their deconsolidation on March 16, 2020. The following amounts were incurred entirely during the first quarter of 2020, but are still included in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, the gathering and facilities segment had revenues of $6.0 million and direct operating expenses of $3.9 million. General and administrative expenses were $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Depreciation expense was $1.1 million during the first quarter of 2020 as the gathering facility was placed into service during the fourth quarter of 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Chapter 11 Cases and Effect of Automatic Stay

On June 14, 2020, we filed for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The commencement of a voluntary proceeding in bankruptcy constituted an immediate event of default under the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing our Senior Notes, resulting in the automatic and immediate acceleration of all of our outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes. Any efforts to enforce payment obligations related to the acceleration of our debt have been automatically stayed as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. On June 14, 2020, we also entered into the RSA with certain holders of our Senior Notes to support a restructuring in accordance with the terms set forth therein. As more fully disclosed in Note 1—Business and Organization and Note 6Long-Term Debt in Part I, Item 1. Financial Information of this Quarterly Report, the RSA contemplates a financial restructuring which would provide for the treatment of holders of certain claims and existing equity interests.

We expect to continue operations in the ordinary course for the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases. To ensure ordinary course operations, we have obtained approval from the Bankruptcy Court of the First Day Motions to continue our ordinary course operations after the filing date. In addition, we have obtained a DIP Credit Facility to fund operations during the bankruptcy proceedings. However, for the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, our operations and our ability to develop and execute our business plan are subject to a high degree of risk and uncertainty associated with the Chapter 11 Cases. The outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases is dependent upon factors that are outside of our control, including actions of the Bankruptcy Court and our creditors. The significant risks and uncertainties related to our liquidity and Chapter 11 Cases described above raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that we will confirm and consummate a Restructuring Plan as contemplated by the RSA or complete another plan of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases. As a result, we have concluded that management’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, our total available liquidity as of September 30, 2020 consisted of cash on hand of $121.2 million. With cash on hand and DIP Credit Facility availability, we believe that we will have sufficient liquidity, including funds generated from ongoing operations, to fund anticipated cash requirements through the Chapter 11 Cases. As such, we expect to pay vendor and royalty obligations on a go-forward basis according to the terms of our current contracts and consistent with applicable court orders, if any, approving such payments.

Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources

Please see Note 1—Business and Organization—Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Codein Item 1 of the Company’s filed Form 10-Q from the first quarter of 2021 for information regarding our capital structure following emergence from bankruptcy on January 20, 2021.

Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been borrowings under our Credit Facility,credit facilities, proceeds from notessecurities offerings and preferred stock offerings, equity provided by investors, includingcash proceeds from divestitures of our management team, cash from issuance of preferred stock,oil and cash flows from divestituresgas properties and from the sale of oil, gas and NGL production. During the combined six months ended June 30, 2021, our primary 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 acquisitionrepayment of borrowings on the RBL Credit Facility and development of our oil and gas properties to increase our acreage position, as well as development and exploration of oil and gas properties.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, our DIPoutstanding RBL Credit Facility borrowings were $110.0$90.0 million. Our total available liquidity as of June 30, 2021 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $34.4 million with $75.0and $409.5 million total outstanding including amounts that were rolled over fromof availability on the RBL Credit Facility. OurAs of the date of this filing, we had drawn $70.0 million on the RBL Credit Facility borrowings were $453.7 million and $470.0 million at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. We had senior notes totaling $1.1 billion outstanding at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. We also have other contractual commitments, which are described in Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies in Part I, Item 1, Financial Information of this Quarterly Report.

With the Bankruptcy Court’s authorization of the DIPtotal 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 that we have sufficient liquiditysources of cash to executemeet our business plan throughobligations for the bankruptcy proceedings.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 commodity derivative contracts at times and on terms desiredwhich we previously entered. The RBL Credit Agreement requires us to maintain commodity hedges covering a portfoliominimum of commodity derivative contracts covering approximately 50% to 70%65% of our projectedanticipated oil and natural gas production over a onefrom 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 two year period at a given point in time, although we may from time to time hedge more or less than this approximate range.our vendors.

We had a Stock Repurchase Program that ended in 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, spending under this program was $136.9 million. We also had a Senior Notes Repurchase Program in place. Spending under this program during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $39.3 million. No common stock or Senior Notes were repurchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.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 the time of settlement.

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 RBL Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs.

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—Reorganizations,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, 2019 other than the deconsolidation of Elevation Midstream, LLC discussed in Note 1—Business and Organization in Part I, Item 1. Financial Information of this Quarterly Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Please see Note 2—Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for a detailed list of recent accounting pronouncements.

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 declining commodity prices. Historically, field-level prices received for our oil and natural gas production have been volatile. During the year ended December 31, 2019, commodity prices increased during the first, second and third quarter, and subsequently decreased in the fourth quarter. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, commodity prices decreaseddecreased. During the combined six months ended June 30, 2021, commodity prices increased compared to the same period in 2019.2020. 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, 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. LIBOR is used as a reference rate for certain of our financial instruments, such as our Credit Facility. LIBOR is set to be phased out at the end of 2021. We are currently reviewing how the LIBOR phase-out will affect the Company, but we do not expect the impact to be material.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 and natural gas 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 and natural gas prices at targeted levels and to manage our exposure to oil price fluctuations.

For a summary of our commodity derivative contracts as of September 30, 2020, please see Note 7—Commodity Derivative Instruments in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

As of September 30, 2020, the fair market value of our oil derivative contracts was a net asset of $32.9 million. Based on our open oil derivative positions at September 30, 2020, a 10% increase in the NYMEX WTI price would decrease our net oil derivative asset by approximately $11.9 million, while a 10% decrease in the NYMEX WTI price would increase our net oil derivative asset by approximately $11.1 million. As of September 30, 2020, the fair market value of our natural gas derivative contracts was a net liability of $0.9 million. Based upon our open commodity derivative positions at September 30, 2020, a 10% increase in the NYMEX Henry Hub price would increase our net natural gas derivative liability by approximately $2.2 million, while a 10% decrease in the NYMEX Henry Hub price would decrease our net natural gas derivative liability by approximately $2.2 million, which would result in a net asset position. Please see “—How We Evaluate Our Operations—Derivative Arrangements.”

On June 14, 2020 we filed for relief under Chapter 11, which permitted the counterparties to our derivative instruments to terminate their outstanding hedges, and certain of our counterparties elected to exercise their right to terminate. Please refer to Note 7—Commodity Derivative Instruments in Part I, Item 1. Financial Information of this Quarterly Report for more information on these terminations, the effect such terminations will have on our cash flows, financial position and results of operations and other subsequent hedging activity.

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, 2020, 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, 2020, we had commodity derivative contracts with 2 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. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we did not incur any losses with respect to counterparty contracts. None of our existing derivative instrument contracts contain credit risk related contingent features.

Interest Rate Risk

At September 30, 2020, we had $110.0 million variable-rate debt outstanding related to our DIP Credit Facility. The impact on interest expense of a 1% increase or decrease in the average interest rate would be approximately $1.1 million per year. At September 30, 2020, we had $453.7 million variable-rate debt outstanding related to our Credit Facility. The impact on interest expense of a 1% increase or decrease in the average interest rate would be approximately $4.5 million per year. 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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded,

Table of Contents
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2020, due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as described below.

Management's Material Weakness Remediation Plan

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management determined that the Company did not design and maintain effective controls to determine the appropriate contract termination date and evaluate the potential accounting implications of changes in termination dates of contracts with customers. This material weakness resulted in a restatement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and immaterial errors to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2018, March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019. The line items affected were oil sales, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, other non-current liabilities, inventory, prepaid expenses and other, and other non-current assets. Additionally, this material weakness could result in a misstatement of the aforementioned financial statement line items or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim condensed consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

The Company and its Board of Directors are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment. Management has evaluated the material weakness described above and developed a remediation plan to address the material weakness. The remediation plan includes additional procedures around determining the contract termination

date pursuant to the accounting treatment under ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Management is committed to successfully implementing the remediation plan and plans to commence the evaluation of its updated design of internal controls for implementation expeditiously.2021.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Information regarding our legal proceedings can found in Note 14—12—Commitments and Contingencies — Contingencies—Litigation and Legal Items in Part I, Item 1. Financial Information in1 of this Quarterly Report.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Factors that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or liquidity and the trading price of our common stock are described below and underin Item 1A "Risk Factors," included in ourof the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2020 and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 11, 2020 and August 10, 2020.Report. The risks described below and in our annual and quarterly reports are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. This information should be considered carefully, together with other information in this reportQuarterly Report and other reports and materials we file with the SEC.

We have substantial liquidity needs and may not be able to obtain sufficient liquidity for the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases or to confirm a plan of reorganization or liquidation.

Although we have lowered our capital budget and reduced the scale of our operations significantly, our business remains capital intensive. In addition to the cash requirements necessary to fund ongoing operations, we have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant costs associated with our reorganization, primarily from damages for rejected or settled contracts, legal and professional fees, and other costs in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. As of September 30, 2020, available liquidity consisted of cash on hand of $121.2 million and availability of $15.0 million on the DIP Credit Agreement. We expect to continue using additional cash that will further reduce this liquidity. As is described in Note 6—Long-Term Debt in Part I, Item 1. Financial Information in this Quarterly Report, on July 20, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Final DIP Order which increased the DIP Credit Facility's aggregate commitments to $125.0 million. In addition to a total of $90.0 million outstanding, we drew $20.0 million on July 27, 2020 leaving $15.0 million of availability on the facility. With the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Final DIP Order, we believe that we will have sufficient liquidity, including cash on hand and funds generated from ongoing operations, to fund anticipated cash requirements through the Chapter 11 Cases. As such, we expect to pay vendor and royalty obligations on a go-forward basis according to the terms of our current contracts and consistent with applicable court orders, if any, approving such payments. However, there can be no assurance that our current liquidity will be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our obligations related to the Chapter 11 Cases or to pursue confirmation of the Restructuring Plan. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to secure additional interim financing or exit financing sufficient to meet our liquidity needs or, if sufficient funds are available, offered to us on acceptable terms.

As of September 30, 2020, we have only $15.0 million of availability under our DIP Credit Facility. Unless we are able to successfully discharge or restructure our existing indebtedness, obtain further waivers or forbearance from our existing lenders or otherwise raise significant capital, it is unlikely that we will be able to meet our obligations as they become due, and we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

Our working capital deficit was $338.7 million and $240.8 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. However, as of September 30, 2020, many of our current liabilities were classified as liabilities subject to compromise. Our cash balances totaled $121.2 million and $32.4 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $1.4 billion. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon attaining and maintaining profitable operations and, until that time, raising additional capital as needed, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing. Our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations is dependent upon generating sufficient revenues. To date, our operations have been funded by the sale of oil, gas and NGL production based on prevailing market prices, which decreased significantly in March and April 2020. Our operations have also been funded through availability on our DIP Credit Facility and previously, our Credit Facility. As is described in Note 6—Long-Term Debt in Part I, Item 1. Financial Information in this Quarterly Report, on July 20, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Final DIP Order which increased the DIP Credit Facility's aggregate commitments to $125.0 million. In addition to a total of $90.0 million outstanding, we drew $20.0 million on July 27, 2020 leaving $15.0 million of availability on the facility. With the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Final DIP Order, we believe that we will have sufficient liquidity, including cash on hand and funds generated from ongoing operations, to fund anticipated cash requirements through the Chapter 11 Cases. As such, we expect to pay vendor and royalty obligations on a go-forward basis according to the terms of our current contracts and consistent with applicable court orders, if any, approving such payments. However, there can be no assurance that our current liquidity will be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our obligations related to the Chapter 11 Cases or to pursue confirmation of the Restructuring Plan and thus continue as a going concern. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to secure additional interim financing or exit financing sufficient to meet our liquidity needs to continue as a going concern.

The proposed adoption of new rules by the Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission to require, among other things, new siting criteria for any oil and gas locations that are within 2,000 feet from residential building units, could reduce the area available for future oil and gas development in Colorado and have a material adverse effect on our business.

Resulting from Colorado’s adoption of SB181 during 2019, the COGCC is currently in the process of promulgating rules associated with that legislation that, if passed, would among other things, impose mandatory 2,000 foot setbacks for all schools and childcare centers, as well as new siting criteria for any oil and gas locations that are within 2,000 feet from residential building units. The rules additionally require local government permitting approval that could add additional timing and complexity burdens and curtail the pace of our new oil and gas development. A formal vote related to these proposed rules is expected to take place in late November 2020, and if passed, the new rules are expected to take effect on January 1, 2021. We cannot predict the ultimate impact of implementation of these new rules, including the imposition of 2,000-foot siting zones, but their enactment may lead to delays and additional costs to our operations and reduce the area available for future development of our operations.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

None.Information regarding our unregistered sales of equity securities can found in Note 1—Business and Organization—Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code inItem 1 of the Company’s filed Form 10-Q from the first quarter of 2021.

The 974,056 shares of New Common Stock issued on February 4, 2021 were issued pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.

The 133,705 shares of New Common Stock issued during the second quarter of 2021 were issued pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

The commencement of a voluntary proceeding in bankruptcy constituted an immediate event of default under the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Company’s Senior Notes, resulting in the automatic and immediate acceleration of all of the Company’s debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement and Senior Notes. Accordingly, the Company has classified its outstanding senior note debt as liabilities subject to compromise on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020. The Credit Facility was not classified as liabilities subject to compromise because it is fully secured in the Chapter 11 Cases and is expected to be unimpaired. Please refer
