Table of Contents

Productive well. A well that is found to be capable of producing hydrocarbons in sufficient quantities such that proceeds from the sale of such production exceed production expenses and taxes.

Proved developed reserves or PDPs. Reserves that can be expected to be recovered through: (i) existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and (ii) through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.

Proved developed non-producing or PDNPs. Proved oil and natural gas reserves that are developed behind pipe or shut-in or that can be recovered through improved recovery only after the necessary equipment has been installed, or when the costs to do so are relatively minor. Shut-in reserves are expected to be recovered from (1) completion intervals which are open at the time of the estimate but which have not started producing, (2) wells that were shut-in for market conditions or pipeline connections, or (3) wells not capable of production for mechanical reasons. Behind-pipe reserves are expected to be recovered from zones in existing wells that will require additional completion work or future recompletion prior to the start of production.

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

Proved undeveloped reserves or PUDs. Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

(i) Proved reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.

(ii) Proved undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances, justify a longer time.

(iii) Under no circumstances shall estimates for proved undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

Recompletion. The completion for production of an existing wellbore in another formation from that which the well has been previously completed.

R/P ratio (reserve life). The reserves as of the end of a period divided by the production volumes for the same period.

Reserve replacement. The replacement of oil and natural gas produced with reserve additions from acquisitions, reserve additions and reserve revisions.

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

Standardized measure. The present value of estimated future net revenues to be generated from the production of proved reserves, determined in accordance with assumptions required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission (using current costs and the average annual prices based on the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month) without giving effect to non-property related expenses such as general and administrative expenses, debt service and future income tax expenses or to depreciation, depletion and amortization, and discounted using an annual discount rate of 10%. Texas margin taxes and the federal income taxes associated with a corporate subsidiary have not been deducted from future production revenues in the calculation of the standardized measure as the impact of these taxes would not have a significant effect on the calculated standardized measure. Standardized measure does not give effect to commodity derivative transactions.

Undeveloped acreage. Lease acreage on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil and natural gas regardless of whether such acreage contains proved reserves.

iii

Table of Contents

Working interest. The operating interest that gives the owner the right to drill, produce and conduct operating activities on the property and the right to a share of production.

Workover. Operations on a producing well to restore or increase production.

ITEM 1.BUSINESS

References in this annual report on Form 10-K to “Legacy Reserves,” “Legacy,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or like terms refer to Legacy Reserves Inc. and its subsidiaries for the periods after September 19, 2018, the date the Corporate Reorganization was consummated (as defined below). For the periods prior to September 20, 2018, unless the context requires otherwise or unless otherwise noted, all references to “Legacy Reserves,” “Legacy LP,” “Legacy,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or like terms are to Legacy Reserves LP and its subsidiaries.

Legacy Reserves Inc.

Legacy Reserves Inc. is a Delaware corporation incorporated in 2018 in connection with the Corporate Reorganization, as defined below. We are an independent energy company engaged in the development, production and acquisition of oil and natural gas properties in the United States. Our current operations are focused on the cost-efficient management of shallow-decline oil and natural gas wells in the Permian Basin, East Texas, Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions, as well as horizontal development of unconventional plays in the Permian Basin, as market conditions allow.

Our oil and natural gas production and reserve data as of December 31, 2019 are as follows:

•we had proved reserves of approximately 127.2 MMBoe, of which 61% were natural gas, 39% were oil and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) and 96% were classified as proved developed producing; and

•our proved reserves to production ratio was approximately 8.3 years based on the annualized production volumes for the three months ended December 31, 2019.

We have built a diverse portfolio of oil and natural gas reserves primarily through the acquisition of producing oil and natural gas properties and the development of properties in established producing trends. These acquisitions, along with our ongoing development activities and operational improvements, have allowed us to achieve production and reserve growth over the last decade.

On September 20, 2018, we completed our transition to a corporation pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 9, 2018, by and among Legacy Inc., Legacy LP, Legacy Reserves GP, LLC (the “General Partner”) and Legacy Reserves Merger Sub LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Legacy Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and the GP Purchase Agreement, dated March 23, 2018, by and among Legacy Inc., the General Partner, Legacy LP, Lion GP Interests, LLC, Moriah Properties Limited, and Brothers Production Properties, Ltd., Brothers Production Company, Inc., Brothers Operating Company, Inc., J&W McGraw Properties, Ltd., DAB Resources, Ltd. and H2K Holdings, Ltd. (such transactions referred to herein collectively as the “Corporate Reorganization”). Upon the consummation of the Corporate Reorganization:

•Legacy, which prior to the Corporate Reorganization, was a wholly owned subsidiary of the General Partner, acquired all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests in the General Partner and became the sole member of the General Partner with the General Partner becoming a subsidiary of Legacy; and

•Legacy LP merged with Merger Sub, with Legacy LP continuing as the surviving entity and as a subsidiary of Legacy, the limited partner interests of Legacy LP, other than the incentive distribution units in Legacy LP, were exchanged for shares of Legacy’s common stock, par value $0.01 (“common stock”) and the general partner interests remained outstanding.

Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 Proceedings

On June 18, 2019, Legacy and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively with Legacy, the “Debtors”) commenced voluntary cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On June 19, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court granted a motion seeking joint administration of the Chapter 11 Cases under the caption In re Legacy Reserves Inc., et al. On August 2, 2019, the Debtors filed the Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization for Legacy Reserves Inc. and its Debtor Affiliates (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Plan”) with the Bankruptcy Court.

Table of Contents

On November 15, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Plan, and on December 11, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms and the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases.

Operating Regions

Permian Basin. The Permian Basin, one of the largest and most prolific oil and natural gas producing basins in the United States, was discovered in 1921 and extends over 100,000 square miles in West Texas and southeast New Mexico. It is characterized by oil and natural gas fields with long production histories and multiple producing formations. These stacked formations have been further drilled and produced following the advent and refinement of horizontal drilling. Currently, the majority of the rigs running in the Permian Basin are drilling horizontal wells. The Permian Basin has historically been our largest operating region. Our producing wells in the Permian Basin are generally characterized as oil wells that also produce high-Btu casinghead gas with significant NGL content.

East Texas. We entered the East Texas region through our July 2015 acquisitions in Anderson, Freestone, Houston, Leon, Limestone, Robertson and Shelby Counties. The properties in East Texas consist of mature, low-decline natural gas wells. The East Texas properties are supported by over 600 miles of natural gas gathering system and a treating plant we acquired as part of those acquisitions.

Rocky Mountain. Our Rocky Mountain region was originally comprised by acquisitions in the Big Horn, Wind River and Powder River Basins in Wyoming largely consisting of mature oil wells with a natural water drive producing primarily from the Dinwoody-Phosphoria, Tensleep and Minnelusa formations. We expanded our footprint with our acquisition of oil properties in North Dakota and Montana in 2012 and our acquisition of non-operated natural gas properties in Colorado in 2014. The North Dakota properties produce primarily from the Madison and Bakken formations, while the Montana properties produce mostly from the Sawtooth and Bowes formations. The Colorado properties produce primarily from the Williams Fork formation.

Mid-Continent. Our properties in the Mid-Continent region are located in Oklahoma. These properties were acquired in 2007.

Our proved reserves by operating region as of December 31, 2019 are as follows:

Proved Reserves by Operating Region as of December 31, 2019
Operating Regions	Oil (MBbls)	Natural Gas (MMcf)	NGLs (MBbls)	Total (MBoe)	% Liquids		% PDP		% Total
Permian Basin	36,407	90,078	825	52,245	71	%	91	%	41	%
East Texas	66	220,586	138	36,969	1	%	100	%	29	%
Rocky Mountain	5,167	153,118	5,177	35,864	29	%	100	%	28	%
Mid-Continent	625	4,309	802	2,145	67	%	91	%	2	%
Total	42,265	468,091	6,942	127,223	39	%			100	%

Development Activities

Our development projects are primarily focused on drilling and completing new wells, but also include accessing additional productive or improving existing formations in existing well-bores, and artificial lift equipment enhancement, as well as secondary (waterflood) and tertiary recovery projects.

The table below details the activity in our PUD locations from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019:

________________

(a)These PUD locations were removed from our PUD inventory because of non-consenting working interest owners. Due to their ownership level, their consent is required in order to develop the PUD.

(b) PUDs removed due to performance or added due to extensions and discoveries are those PUDs removed or added, as applicable, due to new or revised engineering, geologic and economic evaluations such as offset well production data, the drilling of offset wells, new geologic data or changes in projected capital costs or product prices. PUDs are removed or added depending on whether the technical criteria for the proved undeveloped reserve classification is satisfied and, in the case of additions due to performance, whether the well is scheduled to be drilled within five years after initial recognition as proved reserves.

The increases in PUDs due to extensions and discoveries were driven by offset drilling in connection with our drilling program in the Permian Basin, which includes the horizontal Spraberry, horizontal Wolfcamp and horizontal Bone Spring wells.

As of December 31, 2019, we identified 11 gross (9.5 net) recompletion and fracture stimulation projects.

Excluding any potential acquisitions, we expect to make capital expenditures of approximately $55 million during the year ending December 31, 2020.

A significant portion of our horizontal operated development activity in the Permian Basin has been pursued through our development agreement (as amended, the "Development Agreement") entered into in 2015 with Jupiter JV, LP ("Investor"), which was formed by certain of TPG Sixth Street Partners' investment funds. Our capital resources and liquidity have benefited from our interest in the development activity under the Development Agreement as described below.

On August 1, 2017, we, along with Investor, entered into the First Amended and Restated Development Agreement (the “Restated Agreement”), which amended and restated the Development Agreement pursuant to which we and Investor agreed to participate in the funding, exploration, development and operation of certain of our undeveloped oil and gas properties in the Permian Basin. Under the Restated Agreement and through subsequent elections, the parties committed to develop a tranche of 26 wells plus 9 wells in the Restated Agreement's area of mutual interest (the “Second Tranche”). Investor’s share of its development costs was limited to $80 million.

In connection with the Restated Agreement in 2017, we made a payment of $141 million (the “Acceleration Payment”) to cause the reversion of Investor's working interest from 80% to 15% of the parties' combined interests in the 48 wells contained in the first tranche such that our working interest reverted from 20% to 85% of the parties' combined working interests in all such wells, and all undeveloped assets subject to the terms of the Restated Agreement reverted back to us. The reversion of interests as a result of the Acceleration Payment was accounted for as an asset acquisition. Pursuant to the Restated Agreement, Investor funded 40% of the costs to the parties' combined interests to develop the wells in the Second Tranche in exchange for an undivided 33.7% working interest of our original working interest in the wells, subject to a reversionary interest of 6.3% of our original working interest in the wells upon the occurrence of Investor achieving a 15% internal rate of return in the aggregate with respect to such tranche of wells. No additional development is expected to occur pursuant to the Restated Agreement.

The Acceleration Payment was funded by a $145 million draw under our Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of October 25, 2016, among Legacy Reserves LP, as borrower, the guarantors party thereto, Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the "Term Loan Credit Agreement").

Oil and Natural Gas Derivative Activities

In order to mitigate price risk for a portion of our oil and natural gas production, we enter into oil and natural gas derivative contracts from time to time. At December 31, 2019, we had in place oil and natural gas derivatives covering portions of our estimated future oil and natural gas production. Our derivative contracts are in the form of fixed price swaps for NYMEX WTI oil; fixed price swaps for NYMEX Henry Hub; fixed price swaps for the Midland-to-Cushing oil differentials; fixed price swaps for WAHA basis differentials; and fixed price swaps for CIG-Rockies basis differentials.

Marketing and Major Purchasers

For the period December 11, 2019 to December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the years ended December 31, 2018, and 2017 (Predecessor), Legacy sold oil, NGL and natural gas production representing 10% or more of total revenues to the purchasers as detailed in the table below.

	Successor	Predecessor
	Period from	Period from
	December 11, 2019	January 1, 2019
	to December 31,	to December 10,	Year Ended December 31,
	2019	2019	2018	2017
Plains Marketing, LP	15%	19%	20%	10%
Trafigura	21%	19%	9%	1%
Rio Energy International Inc (1)	—%	2%	13%	9%

(1) Less than 1% for the period ended December 11, 2019 to December 31, 2019 (Successor).

Our oil sales prices are based on formula pricing and calculated either using a discount to NYMEX WTI oil or using the appropriate buyer’s posted price less a regional differential and transportation fee.

Although we believe we could identify a substitute purchaser if we were to lose any of our oil or natural gas purchasers, the loss could temporarily cause a loss or deferral of production and sale of our oil and natural gas in that particular purchaser’s service area. However, if one or more of our larger purchasers ceased purchasing oil or natural gas altogether, the loss of any such purchaser could have a detrimental impact on our short-term production volumes and our ability to find substitute purchasers for our production volumes in a timely manner, though we do not believe this would have a long-term material adverse effect on our operations.

Competition

We operate in a highly competitive environment for acquiring leases and properties, securing and retaining trained personnel and service providers and marketing oil and natural gas. Our competitors may be able to pay more for leases, productive oil and natural gas properties and development projects and to evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or personnel resources permit. Our ability to acquire additional properties and to find and develop reserves in the future will depend on our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.

Seasonal Nature of Business

The demand for oil and natural gas can be seasonal based on motor vehicle driving patterns and heating and cooling demands related to weather. Our Rockies' oil prices suffer relative to WTI in the winter due to reduced demand for asphaltic crude. Refinery turnarounds in the Permian typically occur in the first quarter, and, historically, we have experienced wider oil differentials during this time.

Environmental Matters and Regulation

General. Our operations are subject to stringent and complex federal, state and local laws and regulations governing environmental protection as well as the discharge of materials into the environment. These laws and regulations may, among other things:

•require the acquisition of various permits before drilling commences;

4

Table of Contents

•restrict the types, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with oil and natural gas drilling and production activities;

•limit or prohibit drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands and other protected areas; and

•require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former and ongoing operations, such as requirements to close pits and plug abandoned wells.

These laws, rules and regulations may also restrict the rate of oil and natural gas production below the rate that would otherwise be possible. The regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases the cost of doing business in the industry and consequently affects profitability. Additionally, Congress and federal and state agencies frequently revise environmental laws and regulations, and any changes that result in more stringent and costly waste handling, disposal and cleanup requirements for the oil and natural gas industry could have a significant impact on our operating costs.

The following is a summary of some of the existing laws, rules and regulations to which our operations are subject.

Waste Handling. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, and comparable state statutes, regulate the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, disposal and cleanup of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. Under the auspices of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, or the EPA, the individual states administer some or all of the provisions of RCRA, sometimes in conjunction with their own, more stringent requirements. Drilling fluids, produced waters, and most of the other wastes associated with the exploration, development, and production of crude oil or natural gas are currently regulated under RCRA’s non-hazardous waste provisions. However, it is possible that certain oil and natural gas drilling and production wastes now classified as non-hazardous could be classified as hazardous wastes in the future. Any such change could result in an increase in our costs to manage and dispose of wastes, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA, also known as the Superfund law, may impose joint and several liability, without regard to fault or legality of conduct, on classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a hazardous substance into the environment. These persons include the owner or operator of the site where the release occurred and anyone who disposed or arranged for the disposal of a hazardous substance released at the site. Under CERCLA, such persons may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health studies. In addition, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third-parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment.

We currently own, lease, or operate numerous properties that have been used for oil and natural gas development and production for many years. Although we believe that we have utilized operating and waste disposal practices that were standard in the industry at the time, hazardous substances, wastes, or hydrocarbons may have been released on or under the properties owned or leased by us, or on or under other locations, including off-site locations, where such substances have been taken for disposal. In addition, most of our properties have been operated by third parties or by previous owners or operators whose treatment and disposal of hazardous substances, wastes, or hydrocarbons were not under our control. These properties and the substances disposed or released on them may be subject to CERCLA, RCRA, and analogous state laws. Under such laws, we could be required to remove previously disposed of substances and wastes, remediate contaminated property, or perform remedial plugging or pit closure operations to prevent future contamination.

Water Discharges. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, or the Clean Water Act, and analogous state laws, impose restrictions and strict controls with respect to the discharge of pollutants, including spills and leaks of oil and other substances, into waters of the United States. The discharge of pollutants into regulated waters is prohibited, except in accordance with the terms of a permit issued by the EPA or an analogous state agency. Federal and state regulatory agencies can impose administrative, civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance with discharge permits or other requirements of the Clean Water Act and analogous state laws and regulations.

The Oil Pollution Act of 1990, as amended or OPA, which amends the Clean Water Act, establishes strict liability for owners and operators of facilities that cause a release of oil into waters of the United States. In addition, owners and operators of facilities that store oil above threshold amounts must develop and implement spill response plans.

Safe Drinking Water Act. Our injection well facilities may be regulated under the Underground Injection Control, or UIC, program established under the Safe Drinking Water Act, or SDWA. The state and federal regulations implementing that program require mechanical integrity testing and financial assurance for wells covered under the program. The federal Energy Policy Act of 2005 amended the UIC provisions of the federal SDWA to exclude hydraulic fracturing from the definition of underground injection. From time to time, Congress has considered bills to repeal this exemption. The EPA conducted a study of hydraulic fracturing and issued a final report in December 2016. This study and other studies that may be undertaken by EPA or other federal agencies could spur initiatives to further regulate hydraulic fracturing under the SDWA or other statutory and/or regulatory mechanisms.

Endangered Species Act. Additionally, environmental laws such as the Endangered Species Act, or ESA, may impact exploration, development and production activities on public or private lands. The ESA provides broad protection for species of fish, wildlife and plants that are listed as threatened or endangered in the United States, and prohibits taking of endangered species. Federal agencies are required to ensure that any action authorized, funded or carried out by them is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of listed species or modify their critical habitat. Some of our facilities may be located in areas that are designated as habitat for endangered or threatened species. Though the rule listing the Lesser Prairie Chicken was vacated, portions of our properties in New Mexico and west Texas are enrolled in Habitat Conservation Plans and as a result we are subject to certain practices and restrictions designed to protect the habitat of the Lesser Prairie Chicken. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with the ESA and the practices and restrictions related to the Lesser Prairie Chicken should not result in material costs or constraints to our operations. However, the designation of previously unidentified endangered or threatened species could cause us to incur additional costs or become subject to operating restrictions or bans in the affected areas.

Air Emissions. The Federal Clean Air Act, and comparable state laws, regulate emissions of various air pollutants through air emissions permitting programs and the imposition of other requirements. Federal and state regulatory agencies can impose administrative, civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance with air permits or other requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act and associated state laws and regulations. In addition, more stringent federal, state and local regulations could result in increased costs and the need for operational changes. Finally, the EPA issued rules in May 2016 covering methane emissions from new oil and natural gas industry operations which could result in additional costs and restrictions on our operations. In September 2019, the EPA issued proposed amendments to the 2016 rule that would rescind methane emissions standards for the oil and gas industry.

OSHA and Other Laws and Regulation. We are subject to the requirements of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and comparable state statutes. The OSHA hazard communication standard, the EPA community right-to-know regulations under Title III of CERCLA and similar state statutes require that we organize and/or disclose information about hazardous materials used or produced in our operations. We believe that we are in compliance with these applicable requirements and with other OSHA and comparable requirements.

In 2009, the EPA began to adopt regulations that would require a reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases from certain stationary sources and has required monitoring and reporting for other stationary sources, including the oil and natural gas production industry. In May 2016, the EPA finalized regulations that establish new controls for emissions of methane and volatile organic compounds from oil and natural gas operations. In September 2019, EPA released proposed amendments to the new source performance standards (“NSPS”) for the oil and gas industry, which would remove all sources in the transmission and storage segments of the industry from regulation under the NSPS and would rescind the methane requirements in the 2016 NSPS that apply to sources in the production and processing segments of the industry. Additional regional, federal or state requirements may be imposed in the future. New legislation or regulatory programs that restrict emissions of greenhouse gases in areas in which we conduct business could have an adverse effect on our operations and demand for our products. Currently, our operations are not adversely impacted by existing state and local climate change initiatives and, at this time, it is not possible to accurately estimate how potential future laws or regulations addressing greenhouse gas emissions would impact our business. Finally, it should be noted that some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, floods and other climatic events; if any such effects were to occur, they could have an adverse effect on our exploration and production operations.

We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all existing environmental laws and regulations applicable to our current operations and that our continued compliance with existing requirements will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. For instance, we did not incur any material capital expenditures for remediation or pollution control activities for the year ended December 31, 2019. Additionally, as of the date of this document, we are not aware of any environmental issues or claims that require material capital expenditures during 2020. However, we cannot assure investors that the passage of more stringent laws or regulations in the future will not have a negative impact on our financial position or results of operations.

National Environmental Policy Act and Activities on Federal Lands.  Oil and natural gas exploitation and production activities on federal lands are subject to NEPA. NEPA requires federal agencies, including the Department of the Interior, to evaluate major agency actions having the potential to significantly impact the environment. In the course of such evaluations, an agency will typically prepare an Environmental Assessment to assess the potential direct, indirect and cumulative impacts of a proposed project and, if necessary, will prepare a more detailed Environmental Impact Statement that may be made available for public review and comment. Our current production activities, as well as proposed development plans, on federal lands require governmental permits or similar authorizations that are subject to the requirements of NEPA. This process has the potential to delay, limit or increase the cost of developing oil and natural gas projects. Authorizations under NEPA are also subject to protest, appeal or litigation, any or all of which may delay or halt projects.

Federal, State or Native American Leases.  Our operations on federal, state, or Native American oil and natural gas leases are subject to numerous restrictions, including nondiscrimination statutes. Such operations must be conducted pursuant to certain on-site security regulations and other permits and authorizations issued by the Bureau of Land Management, or BLM, and other agencies. For example, in September 2018, the BLM finalized regulations which update standards to reduce venting and flaring from oil and gas production on public lands.

Other Regulation of the Oil and Natural Gas Industry

The oil and natural gas industry is extensively regulated by numerous federal, state and local authorities. Legislation affecting the oil and natural gas industry is under constant review for amendment or expansion, frequently increasing the regulatory burden. Also, numerous departments and agencies, both federal and state, are authorized by statute to issue rules and regulations binding on the oil and gas industry and its individual members, some of which carry substantial penalties for failure to comply. Although the regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases our cost of doing business and, consequently, affects our profitability, these burdens generally do not affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than they affect other companies in the oil and natural gas industry with similar types, quantities and locations of production.

Legislation continues to be introduced in Congress and development of regulations continues in the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies concerning the security of industrial facilities, including oil and natural gas facilities. Our operations may be subject to such laws and regulations. Presently, it is not possible to accurately estimate the costs we could incur to comply with any such facility security laws or regulations, but such expenditures could be substantial.

Drilling and Production. Our operations are subject to various types of regulation at federal, state and local levels. These types of regulation include requiring permits for the drilling of wells, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations. Most states, and some counties and municipalities, in which we operate also regulate one or more of the following:

•the location of wells; 

•the method of drilling and casing wells;

•the surface use and restoration of properties upon which wells are drilled;

•the plugging and abandoning of wells; and

•notice to surface owners and other third parties.

State laws regulate the size and shape of drilling and spacing units or proration units governing the pooling of oil and natural gas properties. Some states allow forced pooling or integration of tracts to facilitate exploration while other states rely on voluntary pooling of lands and leases. In some instances, forced pooling or unitization may be implemented by third parties and may reduce our interest in the unitized properties. In addition, state conservation laws establish maximum rates of production from oil and natural gas wells, generally regulate and seek to restrict the venting or flaring of natural gas and impose requirements regarding the ratability of production. As of April 2020, some states, including Texas and Oklahoma, have considered proration of oil production in response to market conditions. These laws and regulations, and any future laws or regulations, may limit the amount of oil and natural gas we can produce from our wells or limit the number of wells or the locations at which we can drill. Moreover, each state generally imposes a production or severance tax with respect to the production and sale of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids within its jurisdiction.

Natural gas regulation. The availability, terms and cost of transportation significantly affect sales of natural gas. The interstate transportation and sale or resale of natural gas is subject to federal regulation, including regulation of the terms,

Table of Contents

conditions and rates for interstate transportation, storage and various other matters, primarily by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or the FERC. Federal and state regulations govern the price and terms for access to natural gas pipeline transportation. The FERC’s regulations for interstate natural gas transmission in some circumstances may also affect the intrastate transportation of natural gas.

Although natural gas prices are currently unregulated, Congress historically has been active in the area of natural gas regulation. We cannot predict whether new legislation to regulate natural gas might be proposed, what proposals, if any, might actually be enacted by Congress or the various state legislatures, and what effect, if any, the proposals might have on the operations of the underlying properties. Sales of condensate and natural gas liquids are not currently regulated and are made at market prices.

State regulation. The various states regulate the drilling for, and the production, gathering and sale of, oil and natural gas, including imposing severance taxes and requirements for obtaining drilling permits. For example, Texas currently imposes a 4.6% severance tax on oil production and a 7.5% severance tax on natural gas production. New Mexico currently imposes a 3.75% severance tax on both oil and natural gas production. States also regulate the method of developing new fields, the spacing and operation of wells and the prevention of waste of natural gas resources. States may regulate rates of production and may establish maximum daily production allowable from natural gas wells based on market demand or resource conservation, or both. States do not regulate wellhead prices or engage in other similar direct economic regulation, but there can be no assurance that they will not do so in the future. The effect of these regulations may be to limit the amounts of natural gas that may be produced from our wells, and to limit the number of wells or locations we can drill.

The petroleum industry is also subject to compliance with various other federal, state and local regulations and laws. Some of those laws relate to resource conservation and equal employment opportunity. We do not believe that compliance with these laws will have a material adverse effect on us.

Employees

As of December 31, 2019, we had 317 employees, none of whom are subject to collective bargaining agreements. We also contract for the services of independent consultants involved in land, engineering, regulatory, accounting, financial and other disciplines as needed. We believe that we have a favorable relationship with our employees.

Offices

Our principal offices are located in Midland, Texas at 303 W. Wall Street. In addition to our principal offices, we have regional offices located in Cody, Wyoming, and in The Woodlands, Texas.

ITEM 2.PROPERTIES

As of December 31, 2019, we owned interests in producing oil and natural gas properties in 530 fields in the Permian Basin, East Texas, Piceance Basin of Colorado, Wyoming, North Dakota, Montana, Oklahoma and several other states, from 8,952 gross productive wells of which 2,770 are operated and 6,182 are non-operated. The following table sets forth information about our proved oil and natural gas reserves as of December 31, 2019. The PV-10 amounts shown in the table are not intended to represent the current market value of our estimated oil and natural gas reserves. PV-10 is a computation of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows on a pre-tax basis. For a definition of “standardized measure,” please see the glossary of terms at the beginning of this annual report on Form 10-K.

(a)Reserves as of December 31, 2019 divided by annualized fourth quarter production volumes.

(b)PV-10 is derived from the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. PV-10 is a computation of the standardized measure on a pre-tax basis. We believe that the presentation of PV-10 is relevant and useful to investors because it presents the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our estimated proved reserves prior to taking into account future corporate income taxes, and it is a useful measure for evaluating the relative monetary significance of our oil and natural gas assets. Further, investors may utilize the measure as a basis for comparison of the relative size and value of our reserves to other companies. We use this measure when assessing the potential return on investment related to our oil and natural gas assets. PV-10, however, is not a substitute for the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. Our PV-10 measure and the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows do not purport to present the fair value of our oil and natural gas reserves. The below table provides a reconciliation of the GAAP standardized measure to PV-10 (non-GAAP) at December 31, 2019.

Spraberry Field. The Spraberry field is located in Andrews, Howard, Midland, Martin, Reagan and Upton Counties, Texas. This Spraberry field summary includes wells in the War San field which produce from the same formations and in the same area as our Spraberry field wells. This field produces from Spraberry and Wolfcamp age formations from 5,000 to 11,000 feet. We operate 163 active wells (158 producing, 5 injecting) in this field with working interests ranging from 12.9% to 100% and net revenue interests ranging from 9.6% to 90.8%. We also own another 283 non-operated wells (279 producing, 4 injecting). As of December 31, 2019, our properties in the Spraberry field contained 24,212 MBoe (70.1% liquids) of net proved reserves with a PV-10 of $308.8 million. The average net daily production from this field was 8,952 Boe/d for the fourth quarter of 2019. The estimated reserve life (R/P) for this field is 7.4 years based on the annualized fourth quarter production rate.

11 wells were drilled on our properties in the Spraberry field in 2019. We have identified 13 more proved undeveloped projects, all of which are horizontal Wolfcamp or horizontal Spraberry locations. We have also identified numerous unproved drilling locations in this field.

Lea Field. The Lea field is located in Lea County, New Mexico. Our Lea field properties consist primarily of interests in the Lea Unit. The majority of the production from these properties is from the Bone Spring formation at depths of 9,500 feet to 11,500 feet. These properties also produce from the Morrow, Devonian, Delaware and Pennsylvania formations at depths ranging from 6,500 feet to 14,500 feet. We operate 54 wells (54 producing, 0 injecting) in the Lea field with working interests ranging from 28.0% to 93.2% and net revenue interests ranging from 29.2% to 78.0%. As of December 31, 2019, our properties in the Lea field contained 7,676 MBoe (71% liquids) of net proved reserves with a PV-10 of $111.1 million. The average net daily production from this field was 4,000 Boe/d for the fourth quarter of 2019. The estimated reserve life (R/P) of the field is 5.3 years based on the annualized fourth quarter production rate.

3 wells were drilled on our properties in the Lea field in 2019. Our engineers have identified two behind-pipe or proved developed non-producing recompletion projects in this field. We have also identified numerous unproved horizontal drilling locations in this field.

East Texas. Legacy's wells in the East Texas Basin are primarily located in Freestone, Leon and Robertson Counties, Texas. The wells in our East Texas fields are produced from multiple fields and formations which primarily include the Bossier and Cotton Valley formations at depths of approximately 12,000 to 14,000 feet. Legacy owns approximately 20,000 net undeveloped acres in the Shelby Trough and approximately 17,000 net undeveloped acres in the Freestone Cotton Valley. Legacy operates 879 active wells (874 producing, 5 injecting) in East Texas with working interests ranging from 20.0% to 100% and net revenue interests ranging from 3.2% to 100.0%. We also own another 529 non-operated wells (512 producing, 17 injecting). As of December 31, 2019, our properties in East Texas contained 36,713 MBoe of net proved reserves with a PV-10 of $92.4 million. The average net daily production from this field was 10,222 Boe/d for the fourth quarter of 2019. The estimated reserve life (R/P) for this field is 9.8 years based on the annualized fourth quarter production rate.

Piceance Basin. Legacy's wells in the Piceance Basin are located in Garfield County, Colorado in the Grand Valley, Parachute and Rulison fields. Most of the wells in these fields produce from the Williams Fork formation at depths of approximately 7,000 to 9,000 feet and some wells produce from the Wasatch formation at depths of 1,600 to 4,000 feet. Legacy's ownership in this basin is comprised of non-operated interests in 2,676 active wells acquired in 2014. As of December 31, 2019, our properties in the Piceance Basin contained 30,819 MBoe (18% liquids) of net proved reserves with a PV-10 of $50.2 million. The average net daily production from this field was 8,122 Boe/d for the fourth quarter of 2019. The estimated reserve life (R/P) for this field is 10.4 years based on the annualized fourth quarter production rate.

Proved Reserves

The following table sets forth a summary of information related to our estimated net proved reserves as of the dates indicated based on reserve reports prepared by LaRoche Petroleum Consultants, Ltd. (“LaRoche”). The estimates of net proved reserves have not been filed with or included in reports to any federal authority or agency. Standardized measure amounts shown in the table are not intended to represent the current market value of our estimated oil and natural gas reserves.

The following information represents estimates of our proved reserves as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. These reserve estimates have been prepared in compliance with the SEC rules and accounting standards using current costs and the average annual prices based on the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month in the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. As a result of this methodology, we used an average WTI posted price of $55.69 per Bbl for oil and an average Platts' Henry Hub natural gas price of $2.58 per MMBtu to calculate our estimate of proved reserves as of December 31, 2019. Please see the table below.

____________________

(a)PV-10 is the present value of estimated future net revenues to be generated from the production of proved reserves, determined in accordance with assumptions required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") and the SEC (using current costs and the average annual prices based on the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price) without giving effect to non-property related expenses such as general administrative expenses and debt service or to depletion, depreciation and amortization or future income taxes and discounted using an annual discount rate of 10%. For the purpose of calculating the PV-10, the costs and prices are unescalated. PV-10 does not give effect to derivative transactions. For a description of our derivative transactions, please read “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Investing Activities.” Oil and natural gas prices as of each date are based on the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month as posted by Plains Marketing L.P. and Platts Gas Daily for oil and natural gas, respectively, with these representative prices adjusted by property to arrive at the appropriate net sales price, which is held constant over the economic life of the property.

(b) Oil and natural gas prices as of each date are based on the unweighted arithmetic average of the first day of the month price for each month as posted by Plains Marketing L.P. and Platts Gas Daily for oil and natural gas, respectively, with these representative prices adjusted by property to arrive at the appropriate net sales price, which is held constant over the economic life of the property.

Proved developed reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Proved undeveloped reserves are reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage for which the existence and recoverability of such reserves can be estimated with reasonable certainty, or from existing wells on which a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

The data in the above table represents estimates only. Oil and natural gas reserve engineering is inherently a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured exactly. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Accordingly, reserve estimates may vary from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered. Future prices received for production and costs may vary, perhaps significantly, from the prices and costs assumed for purposes of these estimates. PV-10 amounts shown above should not be construed as the current market value of our estimated oil and natural gas reserves. The 10% discount factor used to calculate PV-10, which is required by FASB pronouncements, is not necessarily the most appropriate discount rate. The present value, no matter what discount rate is used, is materially affected by assumptions as to timing of future production, which may prove to be inaccurate.

From time to time, we engage LaRoche to prepare a reserve and economic evaluation of properties that we are considering purchasing. Neither LaRoche nor any of its employees have any interest in those properties, and the compensation for these engagements is not contingent on their estimates of reserves and future net revenues for the subject properties.

Internal Control Over Reserve Estimations

Legacy's proved reserves are estimated at the well or unit level and compiled for reporting purposes by Legacy's reservoir engineering staff, none of whom are members of Legacy's operating teams nor are they managed by members of Legacy's operating teams. Legacy maintains internal evaluations of its reserves in a secure engineering database. Legacy's reservoir engineering staff meets with LaRoche periodically throughout the year to discuss assumptions and methods used in the reserve estimation process. Legacy provides LaRoche information on all properties acquired during the year for addition to Legacy’s reserve report. LaRoche updates production data from public sources and then modifies production forecasts for all properties as necessary. Legacy provides to LaRoche lease operating statement data at the property level from Legacy’s accounting system for estimation of each property’s operating expenses, price differentials, gas shrinkage and NGL yield. Legacy's reserve engineering staff provides all changes to Legacy’s ownership interests in the properties to LaRoche for input into the reserve report. Legacy provides information on all capital projects completed during the year as well as changes in the expected timing of future capital projects. Legacy provides updated capital project cost estimates and abandonment cost and salvage value estimates. Legacy's internal engineering staff coordinates with Legacy's accounting and other departments and works closely with LaRoche to ensure the integrity, accuracy and timeliness of data that is furnished to LaRoche for its reserve estimation process. All of the reserve information in Legacy's secure reserve engineering data base is provided to LaRoche. After evaluating and inputting all information provided by Legacy, LaRoche, as independent third-party petroleum engineers, provides Legacy with a preliminary reserve report which Legacy's engineering staff and its Chief Financial Officer review for accuracy and completeness with an emphasis on ownership interest, capital spending and timing, expense estimates and production curves. After considering comments provided by Legacy, LaRoche completes and publishes the final reserve report. Legacy's engineering staff, in coordination with Legacy's accounting department and its Chief Financial Officer, ensure that the information derived from LaRoche's reports is properly disclosed in our filings.

Productive Wells

The following table sets forth information at December 31, 2019 relating to the productive wells in which we owned a working interest as of that date. Productive wells consist of producing wells and wells capable of production, including natural gas wells awaiting pipeline connections to commence deliveries and oil wells awaiting connection to production facilities. Gross wells are the total number of producing wells in which we own an interest, and net wells are the product of our fractional working interests owned in gross wells.

(a)Developed acres are acres spaced or assigned to productive wells or wells capable of production.

(b)Undeveloped acres include acres held by production but not currently allocated or assigned to producing wells or wells capable of production and acres not held by production and subject to the primary term of the leases, regardless of whether such acreage contains proved reserves. The majority of our proved undeveloped locations are located on acreage currently held by production. As the economic viability of any potential oil and natural gas development related to the acres not held by production is remote, we have assigned minimal value to our acreage not held by production and thus the minimum remaining term of those leases is immaterial to us.

(c)A gross acre is an acre in which we own a working interest. The number of gross acres is the total number of acres in which we own a working interest.

(d)A net acre is deemed to exist when the sum of the fractional ownership working interests in gross acres equals one. The number of net acres is the product of the fractional working interests owned in gross acres expressed as whole numbers and fractions thereof.

Summary of Development Projects

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we invested approximately $102.1 million in implementing our development strategy, including $69.3 million related to the drilling and completion of 29 gross (12.4 net) development wells. The remaining $32.8 million was comprised of the development of proved undeveloped reserves still in process, recompletions, fracture stimulation projects and various infrastructure capital. We estimate that our capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2020 will be approximately $55.0 million for development drilling, recompletions and fracture stimulation and other development-related projects to implement this strategy. Over 90% of this capital is expected to be deployed in the Permian Basin. We will consider adjustments to this capital program based on our assessment of market conditions for oil and natural gas.

Present Activities

As of December 31, 2019, we were not in the process of drilling or completing any wells.

Operations

General

We operate approximately 66% of our total net daily production of oil and natural gas. Excluding our assets in the Piceance Basin, we operate approximately 87% of our net daily production of oil and natural gas. We design and manage the development, recompletion or workover for all of the wells we operate and supervise operation and maintenance activities. We do not own drilling rigs or any material oil field services equipment used for drilling or maintaining wells on properties we operate. Independent contractors engaged by us provide all the equipment and personnel associated with these activities. We employ drilling, production and reservoir engineers, geologists and other specialists who have worked and will work to improve production rates, increase reserves, and lower the cost of operating our oil and natural gas properties. We also employ field operating personnel including production superintendents, production foremen, production technicians and lease operators. We charge the non-operating partners an operating fee for operating the wells, typically on a fee per well-operated basis proportionate to each owner's working interest. Our non-operated wells are managed by third-party operators who are typically independent oil and natural gas companies.

Oil and Natural Gas Leases

The typical oil and natural gas lease agreement covering our properties provides for the payment of royalties to the mineral owner for all oil and natural gas produced from any well drilled on the lease premises. In our areas of operation, this amount generally ranges from 12.5% to 33.7%, resulting in an 87.5% to 66.3% net revenue interest to the working interest owners, including us. Most of our leases are held by production and do not require lease rental payments.

Derivative Activity

We enter into derivative transactions with unaffiliated third parties with respect to oil and natural gas prices to achieve more predictable cash flows and to reduce our exposure to short-term fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices. We have entered into derivative contracts in the form of fixed price swaps for NYMEX WTI oil, NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas as well as Midland-to-Cushing crude oil, WAHA and CIG-Rockies basis differentials. All of these commodity contracts were executed in a costless manner, requiring no payment of premiums. Furthermore, none of our current derivative counterparties require us to post collateral. For a more detailed discussion of our derivative activities, please read “Business—Oil and Natural Gas Derivative Activities” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Cash Flow from Operations.”

Title to Properties

Prior to completing an acquisition of producing oil and natural gas leases, we perform title reviews on significant leases and, depending on the materiality of properties, we may obtain a title opinion or review previously obtained title opinions. As a result, title opinions have been obtained on a portion of our properties.

As is customary in the oil and natural gas industry, we initially conduct only a cursory review of the title to our properties on which we do not have proved reserves. Prior to the commencement of drilling operations on those properties, we conduct a thorough title examination and perform curative work with respect to significant defects. To the extent title opinions or other investigations reflect title defects on those properties, we are typically responsible for curing any title defects at our expense.

18

Table of Contents

We generally will not commence drilling operations on a property until we have cured any material title defects on such property.

We believe that we have satisfactory title to all of our material assets. Although title to these properties is subject to encumbrances in some cases, such as customary interests generally retained in connection with the acquisition of real property, customary royalty interests and contract terms and restrictions, liens under operating agreements, liens related to environmental liabilities associated with historical operations, liens for current taxes and other burdens, easements, restrictions and minor encumbrances customary in the oil and natural gas industry, we believe that none of these liens, restrictions, easements, burdens and encumbrances will materially detract from the value of these properties or from our interest in these properties or will materially interfere with our use in the operation of our business. In addition, we believe that we have obtained sufficient rights-of-way grants and permits from public authorities and private parties for us to operate our business in all material respects as described in this document.

ITEM 3.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are, from time to time, involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business including regulatory and environmental matters, none of which are expected to be material. Management does not believe that it is probable that the outcome of these actions will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow, although the ultimate outcome and impact of such legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, market prices for oil and natural gas, production volumes, estimates of proved reserves, capital expenditures, economic and competitive conditions, regulatory changes and other uncertainties, as well as those factors discussed below and elsewhere in this report, particularly in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information,” all of which are difficult to predict. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Overview

Because of our historical growth through acquisitions and development of properties as well as large fluctuations in commodity prices, historical results of operations and period-to-period comparisons of these results and certain financial data may not be meaningful or indicative of future results. The operating results of the properties acquired as a part of our asset acquisition in conjunction with the acceleration payment (the "Acceleration Payment") under our joint development agreement with TPG Sixth Street Partners (the "JDA") have been included since August 1, 2017.

Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 Proceedings and Fresh Start Accounting

Upon the Company’s emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company adopted fresh-start accounting in accordance with the provisions set forth in ASC 852. As a result of the application of fresh-start accounting, as well as the effects of the implementation of the Plan, the consolidated financial statements on or after the Effective Date are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements prior to the Effective Date. Refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

References to the “Successor” or “Successor Company” refer to the financial position and results of operations of the new reorganized Company subsequent to the Effective Date. References to “Predecessor” or “Predecessor Company” refer to the financial position and results of operations of the Company prior to the Effective Date.

Trends Affecting Our Business and Operations

Sustained periods of low prices for oil or natural gas have and could materially and adversely affect our financial position, our results of operations, the quantities of oil and natural gas reserves that we can economically produce and our access to capital.

We face the challenge of natural production declines. As initial reservoir pressures are depleted, oil and natural gas production from a given well or formation decreases. We attempt to overcome this natural decline by drilling to find additional reserves, acquiring more reserves than we produce, utilizing multiple types of recovery techniques such as secondary (waterflood) and tertiary recovery methods to re-pressure the reservoir and recover additional oil, recompleting or adding pay in existing wellbores and improving artificial lift.

Outlook. Crude oil prices have recently experienced a severe decrease due to the general economic downturn as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and recent actions by Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) nations. The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken by governmental authorities in response thereto, such as travel bans, shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, and increased border and port controls and closures, have disrupted economic activity and increased the potential for an economic downturn. Moreover, the resulting reductions in travel and transportation have depressed global demand for oil and its byproducts. In its Oil Market Report for April 2020, the International Energy Agency reported that global oil demand is expected to fall by 9.3 million barrels per day year-on-year in 2020, and that refinery intake is also expected to

decrease with widespread run cuts and shutdowns globally as a result of lower demand.

Furthermore, crude oil prices have been impacted by increased supply by OPEC nations, although, as of April 2020, Russia and OPEC have reached a tentative agreement on production cuts. Other countries, including the U.S. and Canada, are expected to reduce production as well. As of April 2020, some states, including Texas and Oklahoma, are considering proration

of oil production in response to market conditions, which could limit the amount of oil and natural gas we can produce from our wells or limit the number of wells or the locations at which we can drill.

Many uncertainties remain regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruption in the oil market, and it is impossible at this time to predict the full economic impact and the impact on our business. Due to these and other factors, the potential for a near or medium term recovery in crude oil prices is uncertain. The outlook for natural gas prices also remains uncertain. Many oil and natural gas companies have responded by announcing intentions to drastically cut drilling and completions activities. Our 2020 capital expenditures budget of approximately $55 million does not contain significant amounts necessary to maintain leasehold and is subject to significant change based on management’s view of commodity prices. We continue to monitor and evaluate any developments with respect to market conditions for oil and natural gas and the COVID-19 pandemic, though we cannot guarantee that any measures we take in response thereto will be entirely effective or effective at all.

In the event that cash flows from operations are greater than we currently anticipate, whether as a result of increased commodity prices, reduced interest expense or otherwise, or additional external financing sources become available to us, we intend to pay down our debt.

Our future growth will depend on our ability to continue to add reserves in excess of production. Our ability to add reserves through organic development projects and acquisitions is dependent upon many factors including our ability to raise capital, obtain regulatory approvals and contract drilling rigs and completions equipment and personnel.

Our revenues are highly sensitive to changes in oil and natural gas prices and to levels of production. As set forth under “Investing Activities,” we have entered into oil and natural gas derivatives designed to mitigate the effects of price fluctuations covering a portion of our expected production, which allows us to mitigate, but not eliminate, oil and natural gas price risk. By removing a portion of our price volatility on our future oil and natural gas production through 2023, we have mitigated, but not eliminated, the potential effects of changing oil and natural gas prices on our cash flows from operations for those periods. Commodity prices may decrease, which could alter our acquisition and development plans, and adversely affect our growth strategy and ability to access additional capital in the capital markets and through our revolving credit facility. We continuously conduct financial sensitivity analyses to assess the effect of changes in pricing and production. These analyses allow us to determine how changes in oil and natural gas prices will affect our ability to execute our development plans and to meet future financial obligations. Further, the financial analyses allow us to monitor any impact such changes in oil and natural gas prices may have on the value of our proved reserves and their impact on any redetermination to our borrowing base under our revolving credit facility.

Results of Operations

Period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor) Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor)

Legacy’s revenues from the sale of oil were $23.2 million, $300.9 million and $375.4 million for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively. Legacy’s revenues from the sale of NGLs were $0.9 million, $14.1 million and $27.8 million for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively. Legacy’s revenues from the sale of natural gas were $6.0 million, $101.5 million and $151.7 million for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively. The $51.3 million decrease in oil revenue reflects a decrease in oil production of 536 MBbls (8%) and a decrease in average realized price of $3.44 per Bbl (6%) to $53.20 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $56.64 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in realized oil price was primarily caused by a decrease in the average WTI crude oil price of $8.25 and partially offset by improved realized regional differentials. The decrease in production is primarily due to reduced horizontal drilling activity of our Permian Basin horizontal assets as well as natural declines. The $12.8 million decrease in NGL revenues reflects a decrease in realized NGL price of $0.24 per Gal (36%) to $0.43 per Gal for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $0.67 per Gal for the year ended December 31, 2018 and a decrease in NGL production of 6,922 MGals (17%) during 2019. The decrease in NGL production is primarily due to decreased ethane recoveries from our Piceance natural gas properties. The $44.2 million decrease in natural gas revenues reflects a decrease of our realized natural gas prices as well as a decrease in our natural gas production volumes. Average realized gas prices decreased by $0.62 per Mcf (24%) to $1.97 per Mcf for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $2.59 per Mcf for the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to worsening realized regional differentials and a decrease in the average NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas price of $0.59 per Mcf. Our natural gas production decreased by approximately 3,810 MMcf (7%), primarily due to due to natural production declines in our East Texas and Piceance Basin properties as well as third-party plant and gathering interruptions resulting in production shut-ins.

For the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor) and the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), Legacy recorded $6.3 million and $50.3 million of net losses on oil and natural gas derivatives, respectively. Commodity derivative gains and losses represent the changes in fair value of our commodity derivative contracts during the period and are primarily based on oil and natural gas futures prices. The net loss recognized during 2019 was primarily due to the increase in oil futures prices for periods beyond 2019, which decreased the fair value of our derivatives in such periods, partially offset by cash received on oil and natural gas derivative contracts during the year. For the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), Legacy recorded $49.2 million of net gains on oil and natural gas derivatives. The net gain recognized during 2018 was primarily due to the decrease in oil futures prices for periods beyond 2018, which increased the fair value of our derivatives in such periods, partially offset by cash payments on oil derivative contracts during the year. Settlements of such contracts resulted in cash (payments)/receipts of $0.1 million, $23.7 million and $(11.7) million for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively.

Legacy’s oil and natural gas production expenses, excluding ad valorem taxes, were $9.7 million ($10.45 per Boe), $164.1 million ($10.87 per Boe) and $191.3 million ($11.02 per Boe) for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively. This decrease in the most recent periods can be attributed to general cost containment activities as well as decreased marketing fees in our Piceance Basin properties. These decreases resulted in decreased production expenses per Boe for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor) compared to year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor). Legacy’s ad valorem tax expenses were $0.1 million, $9.1 million and $8.9 million for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor) and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively. The increase in the most recent periods was primarily due to increased ad valorem taxes related to our Piceance Basin properties.

Legacy’s production and other taxes were $1.6 million, $22.4 million and $29.5 million for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively. Production and other taxes decreased in the most recent periods due to lower oil revenues in 2019. On a per Boe basis, production and other taxes decreased to $1.69, $1.48 compared to $1.70 for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively due to lower realized oil prices.

Legacy’s general and administrative expenses were $1.5 million, $77.4 million and $73.0 million for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively. General and administrative expenses increased in the most recent periods due to increased pre-bankruptcy legal and consulting expenses, partially offset by a reduction in LTIP expense.

Legacy’s depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, or DD&A $6.3 million, $156.9 million, $160.0 million for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively. Our depletion rate per Boe, was $6.76, $10.39 and $9.22 for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively. The increased per Boe amount for the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor) compared to the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor) is attributable to higher depletion rates across our historical properties primarily driven by declining reserve volumes due to price declines.

Impairment expense was zero, $105.5 million and $68.0 million for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively. In the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019, Legacy recognized $105.5 million of impairment expense on 20 separate producing fields primary related to declining commodity prices, primarily natural gas. In 2018, Legacy recognized impairment expense of $58.7 million in 50 separate producing fields, due primarily to the further decline in oil and natural gas futures prices in late 2018 as well as increased expenses and well performance during the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), which decreased the expected future cash flows below the carrying value of the assets. Additionally, in 2018 we recorded impairment of $9.3 million related to unproved properties acquired since 2010 that, in the current and expected future commodity price environment, are no longer economically viable.

Interest expense was $1.6 million, $115.7 million and $117.0 million for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively. The slight decrease in interest expense for the period of January 1, 2019 through December 1, 2019 (Predecessor) is primarily due to accelerated amortization related to our Term Loan Credit Agreement acceleration of indebtedness to May 31, 2019, mostly offset by discontinuance of interest on our debt due to our filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy on June 18, 2019. Cash (receipts)/payments on our interest rate swaps were zero, $1.9 million and $(1.3) million for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively.

For the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), we did not record any gain on extinguishment of debt. For the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), we recorded $13.1 million on extinguishment of debt due to the exchange of our 6.625% Senior Notes due 2021 (the "2021 Senior Notes") and exchange and conversion of our 8% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 ("2023 Convertible Notes" and, together with the Senior Notes, the "Notes") . During the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $66.1 million due to (i) the repurchase of our 2021 Senior Notes and (ii) the exchange of our 8% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Senior Notes" and, together with the 2021 Senior Notes, the "Senior Notes") and our 2021 Senior Notes for our 2023 Convertible Notes.

For the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), income tax expense was zero, $0.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor) were 0.21%, 0.1% and 6.3%, respectively. For the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), our effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible executive compensation, and the valuation allowance. For the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), our effective rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible debt restructuring expenses and the valuation allowance. For the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), our effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to Legacy LP’s income not being subject to U.S. federal income tax, the 2023 Convertible Notes issuance, Texas margins tax, and the valuation allowance.

For the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), Legacy recognized reorganization expense of zero, $447.9 million and zero respectively. Reorganization items represent costs or income directly associated with

Table of Contents

the Chapter 11 Cases that have been incurred since June 18, 2019 (when we filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11), as well as gains from liabilities settled and fresh start accounting adjustments.

As a result of the items described above, Legacy recorded net income/(losses) of $3.1 million, $173.9 million and $43.8 million for the for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively.

Year Ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor) Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2017 (Predecessor)

Legacy’s revenues from the sale of oil were $375.4 million and $239.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Legacy’s revenues from the sale of NGLs were $27.8 million and $24.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Legacy’s revenues from the sale of natural gas were $151.7 million and $172.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The $136.0 million increase in oil revenue reflects an increase in oil production of 1597 MBbls (32%) and an increase in average realized price of $9.05 per Bbl (19%) to $56.64 for the year ended December 31, 2018 from $47.59 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in realized oil price was primarily caused by an increase in the average WTI crude oil price of 14.43 and partially offset by worsening realized regional differentials. The increase in production is continued development of our Permian Basin horizontal assets as well as an increase in net well count under our JDA following the Acceleration Payment. The increase was partially offset by individually immaterial divestitures and natural declines. The $3.0 million increase in NGL revenues reflects an increase in realized NGL price of $0.02 per Gal (3%) to $0.67 per Gal for the year ended December 31, 2018 from $0.65 per Gal for the year ended December 31, 2017 and an increase in NGL production of 3,390 MGals (9%) during 2018. The increase in NGL production is primarily due to increased ethane recoveries from our Piceance natural gas properties. The $20.4 million decrease in natural gas revenues reflects a decrease of our realized natural gas prices as well as a decrease in our natural gas production volumes. Average realized gas prices decreased by $(0.14) per Mcf (5)% to $2.59 per Mcf for the year ended December 31, 2018 from $2.74 per Mcf for the year ended December 31, 2017, primarily due to worsening realized regional differentials partially offset by an increase in the average NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas price of 0.16 per Mcf. Our natural gas production decreased by approximately 4,376 MMcf (7)%, primarily due to natural production declines in our East Texas and Piceance Basin properties partially offset by increased production from the assets developed by our Permian Basin horizontal development program.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, Legacy recorded $49.2 million of net gains on oil and natural gas derivatives. Commodity derivative gains and losses represent the changes in fair value of our commodity derivative contracts during the period and are primarily based on oil and natural gas futures prices. The net gain recognized during 2018 was primarily due to decrease in oil futures prices for periods beyond 2018, which increased the fair value of our derivatives in such periods, partially offset by cash payments on oil derivative contracts during the year. For the year ended December 31, 2017, Legacy recorded $17.8 million of net gains on oil and natural gas derivatives. The net gain recognized during 2017 was primarily due to cash receipts and the decrease in natural gas futures prices for periods beyond 2017, which increased the fair value of our derivatives in such periods. Settlements of such contracts resulted in cash (payments)/receipts of $(11.7) million and $24.2 million during 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Legacy’s oil and natural gas production expenses, excluding ad valorem taxes, increased to $191.3 million ($11.02 per Boe) for the year ended December 31, 2018 from $173.6 million ($10.58 per Boe) for the year ended December 31, 2017. This increase is primarily attributable to increased workover and repair activity across all operating regions as well as general cost increases due to higher commodity prices and field activity. These increases resulted in increased production expenses per Boe during 2018 compared to 2017. Legacy’s ad valorem tax expense decreased period over period primarily due to reductions in ad valorem tax expenses on certain non-operated properties.

Legacy’s production and other taxes were $29.5 million and $19.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Production and other taxes increased due to higher total revenues in 2018. On a per Boe basis, production and other taxes increased to $1.70 for the year ended December 31, 2018 from $1.21 for the year ended December 31, 2017 due to higher realized oil prices.

Legacy’s general and administrative expenses were $73.0 million and $49.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $23.7 million between periods primarily due to a $21.8 million increase in long-term incentive compensation expense due to the acceleration of expense in conjunction with the Corporate Reorganization.

Legacy’s depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, or DD&A, was $160.0 million and $126.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. DD&A increased primarily due to higher depletion rates

across our historical properties primarily related to increased production rates combined with decreased reserves. Our depletion rate per Boe for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $9.22 compared to $7.73 for the year ended December 31, 2017. This increase is primarily driven by the increased depletion rates as discussed above.

Impairment expense was $68.0 million and $37.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. In 2018, Legacy recognized $58.7 million of impairment expense in 50 separate producing fields, due primarily to the further decline in oil and natural gas futures prices in late 2018 as well as increased expenses and well performance during the year ended December 31, 2018, which decreased the expected future cash flows below the carrying value of the assets. Additionally, we recorded impairment of $9.3 million related to unproved properties acquired since 2010 that, in the current and expected future commodity price environment, are no longer economically viable. In 2017, Legacy recognized impairment expense of $37.3 million in 47 separate producing fields, due primarily to the further decline in oil and natural gas futures prices in early 2017 as well as increased expenses and well performance during the ended December 31, 2017, which decreased the expected future cash flows below the carrying value of the assets.

Interest expense was $117.0 million and $89.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to interest expense on our Second Lien Term Loans issued in October 2016 partially offset by a reduction in bond interest expense due to repurchases of our 2021 Senior Notes completed during 2018. Cash (receipts)/payments on our interest rate swaps were $(1.3) million and $0.8 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively.

During the year December 31, 2018, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $66.1 million due to the repurchase of 2021 Senior Notes and exchange of Senior Notes for 2023 Convertible Notes.

Income tax expense was $3.0 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Income tax expense for both periods is primarily related to certain subsidiaries which were subject to corporate income tax prior to the Corporate Reorganization. The change in our income tax provision in 2018 was due to the Corporate Reorganization along with Legacy’s position to record a full valuation allowance. The effective income tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were 6.3% and (2.7)%, respectively. Our effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to Legacy LP’s income not being subject to U.S. federal income tax, the 2023 Convertible Notes issuance, Texas margins tax, and the valuation allowance. For the year ended December 31, 2017, our effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to Legacy LP’s loss not being subject to U.S. federal income tax and Texas margins tax.

As a result of the items described above, Legacy recorded net income/(losses) of $43.8 million and $(53.9) million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Legacy’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a tool to provide additional information and a metric relative to the performance of Legacy’s business. Legacy’s management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because this measure is used by many companies in the industry as a measure of operating and financial performance and is commonly employed by financial analysts and others to evaluate the operating and financial performance of Legacy from period to period and to compare it with the performance of our peers. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of such peers because all entities may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.

The following presents a reconciliation of “Adjusted EBITDA,” which is a non-GAAP measure, to its nearest comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures, such as net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities, or any other GAAP measure of financial performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus:

•Interest expense;

•(Gain) loss on extinguishment of debt;

•Income tax expense (benefit);

•Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion;

•Impairment of long-lived assets;

•Loss (gain) on disposal of assets;

•Equity in (income) loss of equity method investees;

•Share-based compensation expense (benefit) related to LTIP unit awards accounted for under the equity or liability methods;

•Minimum payments received in excess of overriding royalty interest earned;

•Net (gains) losses on commodity derivatives;

•Net cash settlements received (paid) on commodity derivatives;

•Exploration expenses; and

•Transaction costs.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Legacy’s consolidated net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the period December 11 to December 31, 2019 (Successor), period January 1, to December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (Predecessor):

(a)  A portion of minimum payments received in excess of overriding royalties earned under a contractual agreement expiring December 31, 2019. The remaining amount of the minimum payments are recognized in net income.

For the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor) and the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), Adjusted EBITDA decreased (20)% to $222.8 million from $276.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor). This decrease is due primarily to decreased oil and natural gas production as well as decreased realized commodity prices. For the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), Adjusted EBITDA increased 22% to $276.9 million from $226.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 (Predecessor). This increase is due primarily to increased oil and natural gas production as well as increased realized commodity prices partially offset by lower commodity derivative realizations and increased production costs.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Since Legacy's emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, Legacy’s primary sources of capital and liquidity have been cash flow from operations, realizations from our commodity derivatives, bank borrowings, or a combination thereof and Legacy’s primary use of capital has been for development of oil and gas wells and the repayment of bank borrowings.

Based upon current oil and natural gas price expectations and our commodity derivative positions, we anticipate that cash on hand and cash flow from operations will provide us sufficient liquidity to fund our operations in 2020, including our capital expenditures of approximately $55.0 million. The current outlook for commodity prices remains uncertain after a severe decline in March and April 2020. Our planned capital expenditures in 2020 does not contain significant amounts necessary to maintain leasehold interests, is not expected to maintain our year-end or Q4 2019 production levels, and is subject to significant change based on management’s view of commodity prices.

Our commodity derivatives position, which we use to mitigate commodity price volatility and (if positive) support our borrowing capacity, resulted in $0.1 million and $23.7 million of cash payments for the period December 11 to December 31, 2019 (Successor) and the period January 1, to December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), respectively.

The COVID-19 pandemic may impact the ability of our customers to continue to purchase our produced oil and natural gas at current levels due to increased supply and storage capacity shortages, which would reduce our future expected revenues and may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

Cash Flow from Operations

Our net cash provided by operating activities was $(0.1) million for the period December 11 to December 31, 2019 (Successor). For the period January 1, to December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), net cash provided by operating activities decreased relative to 2018 to $55.2 million, due to reorganization costs and lower realized commodity prices relative. For the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor) cash provided by operating activities was $175.9 million.

Our net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $175.9 million and $99.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (Predecessor), respectively, with the 2018 period being favorably impacted by higher realized commodity prices, partially offset by higher production expenses.

 Our cash flow from operations is subject to many variables, the most significant of which is the volatility of oil, NGL and natural gas prices. Oil, NGL and natural gas prices are determined primarily by prevailing market conditions, which are dependent on regional and worldwide economic activity, weather and other factors beyond our control, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Our future cash flow from operations will depend on the prices of oil, NGLs and natural gas, as well as our ability to maintain production and manage expenditures in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Investing Activities

Our cash capital expenditures were $7.2 million and $128.1 million for the period December 11 to December 31, 2019 (Successor), period January 1, to December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), respectively. The total is comprised primarily of development projects.

Our cash capital expenditures were $227.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor). The total includes $13.2 million related to individually immaterial acquisitions and $221.5 million of development projects.

We currently anticipate that our development capital budget, which predominantly consists of drilling, recompletion and well stimulation projects related to our horizontal Permian Basin inventory will be approximately $55.0 million for the year ending December 31, 2020. Our available borrowing capacity under our Successor Revolving Credit Facility is $88.0 million as of April 27, 2020. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruption in the oil market is expected to lead to a significant

reduction in the borrowing base under our Successor Revolving Credit Facility. The amount and timing of our capital expenditures is largely discretionary and within our control, with the exception of certain projects managed by other operators. As the majority of our capital budget is comprised of operated properties in which we control the timing of capital expenditure

activity, if the borrowing base reduction under our Successor Revolving Credit Facility is larger than expected we can and will

defer a portion or all of our planned capital expenditures to a future date. Accordingly, we routinely monitor and adjust our capital expenditures in response to changes in oil and natural gas prices, drilling and acquisition costs, industry conditions, non-operated capital requirements and internally generated cash flow. Matters outside our control that could affect the timing of our capital expenditures include obtaining required permits and approvals in a timely manner as well as other regulatory matters.

We enter into oil and natural gas derivatives to reduce the impact of oil and natural gas price volatility on our operations. At April 27, 2020, we had in place oil, natural gas and price differential derivatives covering portions of our estimated oil and natural gas production for 2020 through 2023.

By reducing the cash flow effects of price volatility from a portion of our oil and natural gas production, we have mitigated, but not eliminated, the potential effects of changing prices on our cash flow from operations for those periods. While mitigating negative effects of falling commodity prices, these derivative contracts also limit the benefits we would receive from increases in commodity prices. It is our policy to enter into derivative contracts only with counterparties that are major, creditworthy institutions deemed by management as competent and competitive market makers. In addition, none of our current counterparties require us to post margin. However, we cannot be assured that all of our counterparties will meet their obligations under our derivative contracts. Due to this uncertainty, we routinely monitor the creditworthiness of our counterparties.

 The following tables summarize, for the periods indicated, our oil and natural gas derivatives in place as of April 27, 2020 covering the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2023. We use derivatives, including swaps, enhanced swaps and three-way collars, as our mechanism for offsetting the cash flow effects of changes in commodity prices whereby we pay the counterparty floating prices and receive fixed prices from the counterparty, which serves to reduce the effects on cash flow of the floating prices we are paid by purchasers of our oil and natural gas. These transactions are mostly settled based upon the monthly average closing price of front-month NYMEX WTI oil and the price on the last trading day of front-month NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas.

Financing Activities

Our net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(10.0) million, $91.7 million, and $12.1 million for the for the period December 11 to December 31, 2019 (Successor), period January 1, to December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and year ended December 31, 2018, respectively.

The primary driver of net cash used in financing activities during the period December 11 to December 31, 2019 (Successor) were repayments of debt of $27.0 million under the Successor Revolving Credit Facility.

Net cash used in financing activities for the period January 1, 2019 to December 10, 2019 (Predecessor) were repayments of debt of $779.8 million, which included repayment of debt of $596.0 million under the Predecessor Credit Facility in accordance with the Plan. In addition, net cash provided by financing activities included $626.8 million from borrowings under the credit facility, which included $388.0 million from proceeds from the Successor Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, net cash provided by financing activities included $256.3 million in proceeds from rights offerings.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, total net borrowings under our Term Loan Credit Agreement were $42.0 million. We raised $131.0 million in proceeds, net of original issue discount, but excluding other offering expenses paid by us, from a draw under our Term Loan Credit Agreement and used the proceeds to repurchase $187.1 million of Senior Notes for $132.1 million, inclusive of accrued but unpaid interest.

Successor Credit Agreement

On the Effective Date, Legacy entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") among Legacy, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the administrative agent, the collateral agent and the issuing bank. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the lenders party thereto agreed to provide a new reserves-based revolving credit facility (the "Successor Revolving Credit Facility") with initial aggregate commitments in the amount of $1.5 billion, subject to a borrowing base. The initial borrowing base under the Credit Agreement is $460 million. Semi-annual redetermination occurs on April 1 and October 1 of each year. Our available borrowing capacity under our Successor Revolving Credit Facility is $88.0 million as of April 27, 2020. However, we expect the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruption in the oil market to lead to a significant reduction in the borrowing base under the Successor Revolving Credit Facility, which will reduce our borrowing capacity.

32

Table of Contents

The stated maturity date under the Credit Agreement is December 11, 2023. The loans under the Successor Revolving Credit Facility shall bear interest based on borrowing base utilization percentage at a rate per annum equal to the alternate base rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% for alternate base rate loans or the adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 2.25% to 3.25% for LIBOR loans. Unused commitments under the Credit Agreement will accrue a commitment fee at a rate per annum of 0.50%. All interest and commitment fees are payable quarterly in arrears.

Legacy may elect, at its option, to prepay any loan under the Successor Revolving Credit Facility without premium or penalty (except with respect to any break funding payments which may be payable pursuant to the Credit Agreement). Legacy may be required to make mandatory prepayments of the loans under the Successor Revolving Credit Facility in connection with certain borrowing base deficiencies. Additionally, if Legacy has outstanding borrowings, undrawn letters of credit and reimbursement obligations in respect of letters of credit issued under the Successor Revolving Credit Facility in excess of the aggregate revolving commitments, Legacy may be required to make mandatory prepayments.

Legacy’s obligations under the Successor Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of Legacy’s material domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) and secured by substantially all of the assets of Legacy and the Guarantors, including at least 95% of the net present value of Legacy’s and the Guarantors’ proved oil and gas properties, in each case subject to certain exceptions.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and also customary affirmative and negative covenants, in each case for credit facilities of this nature, including restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, asset sales, investments, dividends, redemptions, repayments of other debt and hedge agreements. Additionally, Legacy is required as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2020, to maintain (a) a maximum total net leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00 and (b) a minimum current ratio of 1.00 to 1.00.

Additionally, the Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and remedies for credit facilities of this nature, including non-payment, breaches of representations and warranties, non-compliance with covenants or other agreements, bankruptcy, ERISA, failure of the loan documents to be in full force and effect, judgments and change of control.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Certain accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is a reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been used. Estimates and assumptions are evaluated on a regular basis. We based our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the financial statements. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:

•it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, and

•changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

33

Table of Contents

Please read Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion of all significant accounting policies that we employ and related estimates made by management.

Nature of Critical Estimate Item: Oil and Natural Gas Reserves — Our estimate of proved reserves is based on the quantities of oil and gas which geological and engineering data demonstrate, with reasonable certainty, to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. LaRoche prepares a reserve and economic evaluation of all our properties in accordance with SEC guidelines on a lease, unit or well-by-well basis, depending on the availability of well-level production data. The accuracy of our reserve estimates is a function of many factors including the following: the quality and quantity of available data, the interpretation of that data, the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions, and the judgments of the individuals preparing the estimates. In addition, we must estimate the amount and timing of future operating costs, severance taxes, development costs, and workover costs, all of which may in fact vary considerably from actual results. In addition, as prices and cost levels change from year to year, the economics of producing the reserves may change and therefore the estimate of proved reserves also may change. Any significant variance in these assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity and value of our reserves. Despite the inherent imprecision in these engineering estimates, our reserves are used throughout our financial statements. Reserves and their relation to estimated future net cash flows impact our depletion and impairment calculations. As a result, adjustments to depletion rates are made concurrently with changes to reserve estimates.

Assumptions/Approach Used: Units-of-production method to deplete our oil and natural gas properties — The quantity of reserves could significantly impact our depletion expense. Any reduction in proved reserves without a corresponding reduction in capitalized costs will increase the depletion rate.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used: Units-of-production method to deplete our oil and natural gas properties — A 10% increase or decrease in reserves would have decreased or increased, respectively, our depletion expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 by approximately 10%.

Nature of Critical Estimate Item: Asset Retirement Obligations — We have certain obligations to remove tangible equipment and restore land at the end of oil and gas production operations. Our removal and restoration obligations are primarily associated with plugging and abandoning wells. GAAP requires us to estimate asset retirement costs for all of our assets, adjust those costs for inflation to the forecast abandonment date, discount that amount using a credit-adjusted-risk-free rate back to the date we acquired the asset or obligation to retire the asset and record an asset retirement obligation ("ARO") liability in that amount with a corresponding addition to our asset value. When new obligations are incurred, i.e. a new well is drilled or acquired, we add a layer to the ARO liability. We then accrete the liability layers quarterly using the applicable effective credit-adjusted-risk-free rate for each layer. Should either the estimated life or the estimated abandonment costs of a property change materially upon our periodic review, a new calculation is performed using the same methodology of taking the abandonment cost and inflating it forward to its abandonment date and then discounting it back to the present using our credit-adjusted-risk-free rate. The carrying value of the ARO is adjusted to the newly calculated value, with a corresponding offsetting adjustment to the asset retirement cost. When well obligations are relieved by sale of the property or plugging and abandoning the well, the related liability and asset costs are removed from our balance sheet. Any difference in the cost to plug and the related liability is recorded as a gain or loss on our income statement in the disposal of assets line item.

 Assumptions/Approach Used: Estimating the future asset removal costs is difficult and requires management to make estimates and judgments because most of the removal obligations are many years in the future and contracts and regulations often have vague descriptions of what constitutes removal. Asset removal technologies and costs are constantly changing, as are regulatory, political, environmental, safety and public relations considerations. Inherent in the estimate of the present value calculation of our AROs are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit-adjusted-risk-free rates, timing of settlement, and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments.

Effect if Different Assumptions Used: Since there are so many variables in estimating AROs, we attempt to limit the impact of management’s judgment on certain of these variables by developing a standard cost estimate based on historical costs and industry quotes updated annually. Unless we expect a well’s plugging to be significantly different than a normal abandonment, we use this estimate. The resulting estimate, after application of a discount factor and present value calculation, could differ from actual results, despite our efforts to make an accurate estimate. We engage independent engineering firms to evaluate our properties annually. We consider the remaining estimated useful life from the year-end reserve report prepared by our independent reserve engineers in estimating when abandonment could be expected for each property. On an annual basis we evaluate our latest estimates against actual abandonment costs incurred.

Nature of Critical Estimate Item: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — We use derivative financial instruments to achieve a more predictable cash flow from our oil and natural gas production and interest expense by reducing our exposure to price fluctuations and interest rate changes. Currently, these transactions are swaps, enhanced swaps and collars whereby we exchange our floating price for our oil and natural gas for a fixed price and floating interest rates for fixed rates with qualified and creditworthy counterparties. The contracts with our counterparties enable us to avoid margin calls for out-of-the-money positions.

We do not specifically designate derivative instruments as cash flow hedges, even though they reduce our exposure to changes in oil and natural gas prices and interest rate changes. Therefore, the mark-to-market of these instruments is recorded in current earnings. We estimate market values utilizing software provided by a third party firm, which specializes in valuing derivatives, and validate these estimates by comparison to counterparty estimates as the basis for these end-of-period mark-to-market adjustments. In order to estimate market values, we use forward commodity price curves, if available, or estimates of forward curves provided by third party pricing experts. For our interest rate swaps, we use a yield curve based on money market rates and interest swap rates to estimate market value. When we record a mark-to-market adjustment resulting in a gain or loss in a current period, this change in fair value represents a current period mark-to-market adjustment for commodity derivatives which will be settled in future periods. As shown in the previous tables, we have hedged a portion of our future production through 2023.

Nature of Critical Estimate Item: Oil and Natural Gas Property Impairments — Oil and natural gas properties are reviewed for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Legacy compares net capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties to estimated undiscounted future net cash flows using management’s expectations of future oil and natural gas prices. These future price scenarios reflect Legacy’s estimation of future price volatility. If net capitalized costs exceed estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, the measurement of impairment is based on estimated fair value, using estimated discounted future net cash flows. Significant inputs used to determine the fair values of proved properties include estimates of: (i) reserves; (ii) future operating and development costs; (iii) future commodity prices and (iv) a market-based weighted average cost of capital rate. The underlying commodity prices embedded in Legacy's estimated cash flows are the product of a process that begins with NYMEX forward curve pricing, adjusted for estimated location and quality differentials, as well as other factors that Legacy's management believes will impact realizable prices.

As of December 31, 2019, a 10% decrease in net cash flows attributable to our production caused by any one or a combination of variables, including commodity prices, development costs, changes in production levels or other factors, would increase our recognized oil and natural gas property impairments by $3.9 million. We expect the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruption in the oil market to lead to a significant reduction in our reserves. As a result, we expect to recognize impairments to our oil and natural gas properties in 2020.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms at commencement longer than twelve months. The new standard was effective for us in the first quarter of 2019, and we adopted the new standard using a modified retrospective approach, with the date of initial application on January 1, 2019. Consequently, upon transition, we recognized an ROU asset and a lease liability, with the cumulative-effect of adoption in retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. We further utilized the package of practical expedients at transition to not reassess the following:

•whether any expired or existing contracts were or contained leases;

•the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and

•initial direct costs for any existing leases.

In addition, we elected the practical expedient to not assess whether existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under superseded guidance are or contain a lease under the new leases guidance.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the arrangement. To the extent that we determine an arrangement represents a lease, we classify that lease as an operating lease or a finance lease. We capitalize operating and finance leases on our consolidated balance sheets through a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

35

Table of Contents

Operating leases are included in other property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of an arrangement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made to the lessor prior to lease commencement, less any lease incentives, and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Finance leases are included in other property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease ROU assets (that is, amounts capitalized in other property and equipment) and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of an arrangement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The finance lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made to the lessor prior to lease commencement, less any lease incentives, and initial direct costs incurred. We generally amortize that ROU asset on a straight-line basis, while interest on the lease liability is calculated using the effective interest method. Lease expense recognized under our finance leases is, therefore, comprised of amortization on the finance lease ROU asset and interest on the finance lease liability.

Nature of Leases

In support of our operations, we lease certain corporate office space, field offices, compressors, drilling rigs, other production equipment, fleet vehicles and storage space under cancelable and non-cancelable contracts. A more detailed description of our material lease types is included below.

Corporate and Field Offices

We enter into long-term contracts to lease corporate and field office space in support of company operations. These contracts are generally structured with an initial non-cancelable term of two to ten years. To the extent that our corporate and field office contracts include renewal options, we evaluate whether we are reasonably certain to exercise those options on a contract by contract basis based on expected future office space needs, market rental rates, drilling plans and other factors. We have further determined that our current corporate and field office leases represent operating leases.

Compressors

We rent compressors from third parties in order to facilitate the downstream movement of our production to market. Our compressor arrangements are typically structured with a non-cancelable primary term of one to twenty four months and often continue thereafter on a month-to-month basis subject to termination by either party with thirty days’ notice. We have concluded that our compressor rental agreements represent operating leases with a lease term that equals the primary non-cancelable contract term. Upon completion of the primary term, both parties have substantive rights to terminate the lease without incurring a significant penalty. As a result, enforceable rights and obligations do not exist under the rental agreement subsequent to the primary term.

To the extent that our compressor rental arrangements have a primary term of twelve months or less, we have elected to apply the practical expedient for short-term leases. For those short-term compressor contracts, we do not apply the lease recognition requirements, and we recognize lease payments related to these arrangements in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Drilling Rigs

We enter into daywork contracts for drilling rigs with third party service contractors to support the development and exploitation of undeveloped reserves and acreage. Our drilling rig arrangements are typically structured with a term that is in effect until drilling operations are completed on a contractually specified well or well pad. Upon mutual agreement with the contractor, we typically have the option to extend the contract term for additional wells or well pads by providing thirty days’ notice prior to the end of the original contract term. We have concluded that our drilling rig arrangements represent short-term operating leases with a lease term that equals the period of time required to complete drilling operations on the contractually specified well or well pad (that is, generally one to a few months from commencement of drilling). We do not include the option to extend the drilling rig contract in the lease term due to the continuously evolving nature of our drilling schedules, which requires significant flexibility in the structure of the term of these arrangements, and the potential volatility in commodity prices in an annual period.

We have further elected to apply the practical expedient for short-term leases to our drilling rig leases. Accordingly, we do not apply the lease recognition requirements to our drilling rig contracts, and we recognize lease payments related to these arrangements in capital expenditures on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Other Production Equipment

36

Table of Contents

We rent other production equipment, primarily electric submersible pumps, from third party vendors to be used in our production operations. These arrangements are typically structured with a non-cancelable term of 1 to 3 months and often continue thereafter on a month-to-month basis subject to termination by either party with thirty days’ notice. We have concluded that we are not reasonably certain of executing the month-to-month renewal options beyond a twelve month period based on the historical term for which we have used other production equipment, and, therefore, our other equipment agreements represent operating leases with a lease term up to twelve months.

We have further elected to apply the practical expedient for short-term leases to our other production equipment contracts. Accordingly, we do not apply the lease recognition requirements to these contracts, and we recognize lease payments related to these arrangements in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Fleet Vehicles

We execute fleet vehicle leases with a third party vendor in support of our day-to-day drilling and production operations. Our vehicle leases are typically structured with a term of 18 to 48 months. We have concluded that the majority of our vehicle leases represent operating leases.

ITEM 9A.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. 

Our management team, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2019. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their cost. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all of our control issues and all instances of fraud, if any. The design of any system of controls also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Legacy’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

•pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

•provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our board of directors; and

•provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

As of December 31, 2019, management assessed the effectiveness of Legacy’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013),” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This assessment included design effectiveness and operating effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting as well as the safeguarding of assets. Based on that assessment, management determined that Legacy maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on those criteria.

1.Effective March 1, 2019, Mr. Horne retired from his role as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

2.Effective March 1, 2019, in connection with Mr. Horne’s retirement as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. Westcott was promoted to Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

3.Effective March 1, 2019, in connection with Mr. Westcott’s promotion to Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. Hammond was promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company.

4.Effective February 19, 2019, Mr. Norris was appointed as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

(a) For Messrs. Westcott, and Hammond annual salary increases (where applicable) for 2019 and 2018 became effective on March 1, 2019 and March 1, 2018, respectively.

(b) Phantom units were granted to officers on February 16, 2018. The amount shown reflects the grant date fair value of these awards based upon the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s authoritative guidance relating to stock compensation. The assumptions used in calculating these amounts are discussed further in Note 16 – “Share-Based Compensation” to the financial statements in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2018. Assuming all performance and service conditions are met at the maximum possible level, the grant date fair value of the unit awards granted in 2018 pursuant to the compensation policy for each NEO is as follows: Mr. Horne: $6,936,093; Mr. Westcott: $3,745,490; and Mr. Hammond: $3,537,407. In connection with the Corporate Reorganization, all outstanding awards granted under the Partnership LTIP automatically vested in full pursuant to the terms of the Partnership LTIP and the individual award agreements thereunder. Under the individual phantom unit award agreements, such vested phantom units (and any related distribution equivalent rights) were generally to be settled in cash. As described above, pursuant to the terms of the Phantom Unit Settlement Agreement, each NEO that was to receive a cash amount in settlement of their phantom units became eligible instead to receive a portion of that settlement amount and forfeited, without consideration, his right to receive any remaining portion of the settlement amount. The aggregate settlement amount to be awarded to all executive officers, including each of NEOs, was $13.8 million, and the executive officers, including each of NEOs, agreed to forfeit an aggregate of $7.8 million pursuant to the Phantom Unit Settlement Agreements, each in proportion to each executive officer’s settlement amount.

(c) Represents initial grants of restricted stock units ("RSU") in the Company to our NEOs after the consummation of the Corporate Reorganization under our 2018 Incentive Plan. The following vesting schedule applies to the restricted stock units awarded in 2018: (i) 25% on March 1, 2020; (ii) 25% on March 1, 2021, and (ii) the remaining 50% on March 1, 2022, calculated in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. The grant date fair value of RSUs is determined using the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, all then existing equity was extinguished in accordance with the Plan with no recovery.

(d) The market value of the restricted stock units, based on the closing price of the Partnership’s units on March 23, 2018, the approval date, for each NEO is as follows: Mr. Horne: $2,700,000; Mr. Westcott: $7,500,000; and Mr. Hammond: $4,500,000. The information in this footnote is provided as supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, the information

As described above, in connection with the Corporate Reorganization, all outstanding awards granted under the Partnership LTIP automatically vested in full pursuant to the terms of the Partnership LTIP and the individual award agreements thereunder. For phantom units, amounts, if any, for 2018 include the cash settlement amount provided for in Mr. Horne’s Phantom Unit Settlement Agreement, less any amount already accounted for in the “Unit Awards” column.

Key Employee Incentive Plan

On May 17, 2019, the Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, approved and adopted the Legacy Reserves 2019 Key Employee Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). Under the Incentive Plan, each participant was eligible to earn a performance bonus in cash following the end of each fiscal quarter in 2019 (the “Quarterly Bonuses”), depending upon the extent to which certain specified performance goals were achieved for each such quarter. In addition to being measured on a quarterly basis, the performance goals were measured cumulatively from January 1, 2019 through the end of the fourth quarter of 2019 and each participant’s Quarterly Bonus for the fourth quarter of 2019 could have been adjusted up or down (but to not less than zero) by an amount based on the results of the cumulative performance goals minus the Quarterly Bonuses actually paid for each quarter. In order to earn a Quarterly Bonus for any quarter, a participant must generally have remained employed by the Company through the end of the applicable quarter.

Retention Agreements

Each of our NEOs, other than Mr. Horne, entered into a Retention Agreement with the Company in May 2019. Each Retention Agreement provided that the Company would advance to each officer a cash retention payment as soon as practicable after such officer has executed and returned a copy of his Retention Agreement to the Company.

Each officer will earn and become fully vested in the retention payment if, and only if: (a) such officer remains employed through the Vesting Date (as defined in the Retention Agreements) or (b) such officer’s employment is terminated prior to the Vesting Date due to death or disability or by the Company without Cause (as defined in the each officer’s employment agreement).

In the event that an officer’s employment terminates prior to the Vesting Date for any reason other than a termination by the Company without Cause or due to death or disability, such officer will be required to repay to the Company the (a) net

(after-tax) amount of the retention payment, if the repayment occurs in 2019 or (b) entire gross amount of the retention payment, if the repayment occurs in 2020 or thereafter.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Stockholders and Board of Directors

Legacy Reserves Inc.

Midland, Texas

 Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Legacy Reserves Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 (Successor) and 2018 (Predecessor), the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity/unitholders’ (deficit), and cash flows for the periods from December 11, 2019 to December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period from January 1, 2019 to December 10, 2019 (Predecessor) and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2019 (Successor) and 2018 (Predecessor), and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from December 11, 2019 to December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period from January 1, 2019 to December 10, 2019 (Predecessor) and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Change in Basis of Accounting

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, upon emerging from bankruptcy proceedings on December 11, 2019, the Company became a new entity for financial reporting purposes and applied fresh-start accounting. The Company’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values, which differed materially from the previously recorded amounts. As a result, the consolidated financial statements for period following the application of fresh-start accounting are not comparable to the financial statements for previous periods.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

As more fully described in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company may be materially impacted by the novel strain Coronavirus (COVID-19), which was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, as well as the ongoing effect of the severe decrease in crude oil prices.

/s/ BDO USA, LLP

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2005.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code

On June 18, 2019, Legacy and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively with Legacy, the “Debtors”) commenced voluntary cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On June 19, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court granted a motion seeking joint administration of the Chapter 11 Cases under the caption In re Legacy Reserves Inc., et al. On August 2, 2019, the Debtors filed the Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization for Legacy Reserves Inc. and its Debtor Affiliates (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Plan”) with the Bankruptcy Court.

On November 15, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Plan and on December 11, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms and the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases.

Plan of Reorganization

Treatment of Claims and Interests under the Plan

The Plan provided the following treatment of claims against and interests in the Debtors:

•all holders of claims arising under the Senior Secured Superpriority Debtor-In-Possession Credit Agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”) dated as of June 21, 2019 among Legacy Reserves LP, as debtor, debtor-in-possession and borrower, the other loan parties party thereto, as debtors, debtors-in-possession and guarantors, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “RBL Lenders”), received, in full satisfaction of their respective claims (i) on account of claims under the new money revolving loan facility in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million, payment in full in cash, (ii) on account of claims under the refinancing term loan in the amount of $250.0 million, distribution of cash and commitments under the Successor Revolving Credit Facility and/or (iii) if the Successor Revolving Credit Facility had not been consummated, payment in full in cash. See Note 5, "Debt" for additional information about the Successor Revolving Credit Facility;

•all holders of claims arising under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 1, 2014 (as amended, the “Prepetition RBL Credit Agreement”) among Legacy Reserves LP, as borrower, the guarantors party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Term Lenders”), received, in full satisfaction of their respective claims, (i) distribution of their pro rata share of commitments under the Successor Revolving Credit Facility in exchange for the claims arising under the Prepetition RBL Credit Agreement or (ii) if the Successor Revolving Credit Facility had not been consummated, payment in full in cash;

•all holders of claims arising under the Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of October 25, 2016 among Legacy Reserves LP, as borrower, the guarantors party thereto, Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”), received their pro rata share of approximately 52.25% of the new common stock (the “New Common Stock”) issued by Legacy, as reorganized pursuant to and under the Plan (“Reorganized Legacy”), subject to dilution;

•holders of claims arising under the indenture governing the 8% Senior Notes due 2020, the indenture governing the 6.25% Senior Notes due 2021 and the indenture governing the 8% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Noteholders”) received their respective pro rata share of (i) approximately 2.46% of the New Common Stock, subject to dilution, and (ii) subscription rights to purchase approximately 10.82% of the New Common Stock pursuant to the Rights Offering (as defined below) to the extent that such Noteholders are “accredited investors” as defined under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”);

•all existing equity interests in Legacy did not receive any recovery under the Plan and were extinguished.

Capital Structure

As of the Effective Date, under the Plan, Reorganized Legacy issued New Common Stock to certain holders of claims against and interests in the Debtors, and Legacy’s shares of existing common stock outstanding immediately prior to the

F-11

Table of Contents

Effective Date were cancelled. As of the Effective Date, there were approximately 114,810,671 shares of Legacy’s existing common stock outstanding.

Exit Financing

The Plan was funded by the following exit financings:

•up to $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount under a new senior secured first lien reserved-based revolving credit facility funded by certain of the RBL Lenders;

•$189.8 million in proceeds from the purchase of approximately 30.88% of the New Common Stock, subject to dilution, backstopped pursuant to the Sponsor Backstop Commitment Agreement dated June 13, 2019, among Legacy and GSO Capital Partners LP and certain of its affiliates (the “Plan Sponsor”); and

•$66.5 million in proceeds from a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”), backstopped pursuant the Noteholder Backstop Commitment Agreement dated June 13, 2019, among Legacy and certain Noteholders (the “Noteholder Backstop Agreement”).

(2) Fresh-Start Accounting

Upon the Company’s emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company qualified for and adopted fresh-start accounting in accordance with the provisions set forth in ASC 852 as (i) the Reorganization Value (as defined below) of the Company's assets immediately before the date of confirmation was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims, and (ii) the holders of existing voting shares immediately before confirmation received less than 50% of the voting shares of the emerging entity. As a result of the application of fresh-start accounting, as well as the effects of the implementation of the Plan, the consolidated financial statements on or after the Effective Date are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements prior to the Effective Date. See Note 1, “Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code” for additional information.

References to the “Successor” or “Successor Company” refer to the financial position and results of operations of the new reorganized Company subsequent to the Effective Date. References to “Predecessor” or “Predecessor Company” refer to the financial position and results of operations of the Company prior to the Effective Date.

Adopting fresh-start accounting results in a new financial reporting entity with no beginning retained earnings or deficit as of the fresh-start reporting date. Upon the application of fresh-start accounting, the Company allocated the fair value of the Successor Company’s total assets (the “Reorganization Value”) to its individual assets based on their estimated fair values.

Reorganization Value represents the fair value of the Successor Company's total assets and is intended to approximate the amount a willing buyer would pay for the assets immediately before restructuring. Under fresh start accounting, we allocated the reorganization value to our individual assets based on their estimated fair values.

Our reorganization value was derived from an estimate of "Enterprise Value," or the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt and stockholders’ equity. The estimated Enterprise Value at the Effective Date was a range of $725 - $925 million as established in the Plan and approved by the bankruptcy court. Based on the estimates and assumptions used in determining the Enterprise Value, as further discussed below, the Company estimated the Enterprise Value to be approximately $769.0 million. This estimate was derived from an independent valuation using an asset based methodology of proved reserves, undeveloped acreage, and other financial information, considerations and projections, applying a combination of the income, cost and market approaches.

The Company’s principal assets are its oil and natural gas properties. Significant inputs used to determine the fair values of properties include estimates of: (i) reserves; (ii) future operating and development costs; (iii) future commodity prices; and (iv) a market-based weighted average cost of capital rate. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates by the Company’s management at the time of the valuation and are the most sensitive and subject to change.

Reserves were categorized based on the probability of being able to extract the reserves from the ground. The two major categories being proved reserves and unproved reserves. Proved reserves are those with a 90% certainty of commercial extraction and consist of producing reserves ("PDP"), non-producing reserves ("PDNP"), and proved, undeveloped reserves ("PUD") . Unproved reserves were further broken into two categories: probable reserves and possible reserves. Probable reserves have a 50% certainty of commercial extraction and Possible reserves have a 10% certainty of commercial extraction.

For purposes of estimating the fair value of the Company’s proved, probable, and possible reserves, the Discounted Cash Flow ("DCF") method under the income approach was used which estimated fair value based on the anticipated cash flows associated with the Company's reserves, risked by reserve category and discounted using a weighted average cost of capital rate of 10.4%.

Future commodity prices were estimated using market-based transactions for future delivery adjusted for transportation and differentials. For oil, futures prices published at close as of December 11, 2019 (the "Valuation Date") from the New York Mercantile Exchange for delivery of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") crude oil to Cushing, Oklahoma was used. For natural gas, the futures price published at close of the Valuation date from the New York Mercantile Exchange for delivery of one thousand cubic feet ("mcf") of natural gas to the Henry Hub in Erath, LA was used. The price for natural gas liquids ("NGLs") was based on 26% of WTI.

Future operating and development costs were estimated based on the Company's recent costs trends adjusted for inflation. Risk factors were determined separately depending on geographic location of the reserves.

F-13

Table of Contents   LEGACY RESERVES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

In estimating the fair value of the Company's unproved acreage, that was not included in the valuation of probable and possible reserves, a market approach was used in which a review of recent transactions involving properties in the same geographical location indicated the fair value of the Company's unproved acreage from a market participant perspective.

Although the Company believes the assumptions and estimates used to develop Enterprise Value and Reorganization Value are reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact the analysis and resulting conclusions. The assumptions used in estimating these values are inherently uncertain and require judgment.

The following table reconciles the Company’s Enterprise Value to the estimated fair value of the Successor’s equity as of December 11, 2019 (in thousands):

	December 11, 2019
Enterprise Value	$	769,033
Plus: Cash and cash equivalents	16,563
Indicated invested capital value	785,596
Less: Post-Reorganization Debt	(379,426)
Concluded Equity Value	$	406,170

Upon issuance of the Successor Revolving Credit Facility on December 11, 2019, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $379.4 million and incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $8.6 million.

The following table reconciles the Company's Debt as of December 11, 2019 (in thousands):

	12/11/2019
Successor Revolving Credit Facility	$	388,000
Less: Successor Revolving Credit Facility fees and debt issuance costs	(8,574)
Total Debt	$	379,426

The following table reconciles the Company’s Enterprise Value to its Reorganization Value as of December 11, 2019 (in thousands):

	12/11/2019
Enterprise Value	$	769,033
Plus: Cash and cash equivalents	16,563
Plus: Current and Other Liabilities (Excluding Post-Reorg. Debt and ARO)	126,460
Plus: Asset Retirement Obligation	$	152,186
Reorganization Value of Successor Assets	$	1,064,242

Reorganization Value and Enterprise Value were estimated using numerous projections and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and resolution of contingencies that are beyond our control. Accordingly, the estimates set forth herein are not necessarily indicative of actual outcomes, and there can be no assurance that the estimates, projections or assumptions will be realized.

Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet

The following illustrates the effects on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet due to the reorganization and fresh-start

accounting adjustments. The explanatory notes following the table below provide further details on the adjustments, including the Company’s assumptions and methods used to determine fair value for its assets and liabilities.

(a) Organization, Basis of Presentation and Description of Business

Unless the context requires otherwise or unless otherwise noted, all references to “Legacy Reserves,” “Legacy Inc.,” “Legacy,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or like terms are to Legacy Reserves Inc. and its subsidiaries for the periods after

F-17

Table of Contents   LEGACY RESERVES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

September 20, 2018, the date the Corporate Reorganization was consummated (as defined below). For the periods prior to September 20, 2018, unless the context requires otherwise or unless otherwise noted, all references to “Legacy Reserves,” “Legacy LP,” “Legacy,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or like terms are to Legacy Reserves LP and its subsidiaries.

Legacy is an independent energy company engaged in the development, production and acquisition of oil and natural gas properties in the United States. Its current operations are focused on the horizontal development of unconventional plays in the Permian Basin and the cost-efficient management of shallow-decline oil and natural gas wells in the Permian Basin, East Texas, Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses are recognized when incurred.

(b) Corporate Reorganization

On September 20, 2018, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated July 9, 2018, by and among Legacy Inc., Legacy LP, Legacy Reserves GP, LLC (the “General Partner”) and Legacy Reserves Merger Sub LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Legacy Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and the GP Purchase Agreement, dated March 23, 2018, by and among Legacy Inc., the General Partner, Legacy LP, Lion GP Interests, LLC, Moriah Properties Limited, and Brothers Production Properties, Ltd., Brothers Production Company, Inc., Brothers Operating Company, Inc., J&W McGraw Properties, Ltd., DAB Resources, Ltd. and H2K Holdings, Ltd. (such transactions referred to herein collectively as the “Corporate Reorganization”). Upon the consummation of the Corporate Reorganization:

•Legacy Inc., which prior to the Corporate Reorganization, was a wholly owned subsidiary of the General Partner, acquired all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests in the General Partner and became the sole member of the General Partner with the General Partner becoming a subsidiary of Legacy Inc.; and

•Legacy LP merged with Merger Sub, with Legacy LP continuing as the surviving entity and as a subsidiary of Legacy Inc. (the “Merger”), the limited partner interests of Legacy LP, other than the incentive distribution units in Legacy LP, were exchanged for shares of Legacy Inc.’s common stock, par value $0.01 (“common stock”) and the general partner interest remained outstanding.

The Corporate Reorganization was accounted for under ASC 805 as a combination of entities under common control. As such, the assets and liabilities of the Partnership were recognized at their carrying values in Legacy Inc.

(c) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Legacy routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers. Bad debts are recorded based on an account-by-account review. Accounts are written off after all means of collection have been exhausted and potential recovery is considered remote. Legacy does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers (see Note 13, "Sales to Major Customers").

(d) Oil and Natural Gas Properties

Legacy accounts for oil and natural gas properties using the successful efforts method. Under this method of accounting, costs relating to the acquisition and development of proved areas are capitalized when incurred. The costs of development wells are capitalized whether productive or non-productive. Leasehold acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred. If proved reserves are found on an unproved property, leasehold cost is transferred to proved properties. Exploration dry holes are charged to expense when it is determined that no commercial reserves exist. Other exploration costs, including personnel costs, geological and geophysical expenses and delay rentals for oil and natural gas leases, are charged to expense when incurred. The costs of acquiring or constructing support equipment and facilities used in oil and gas producing activities are capitalized. Production costs are charged to expense as incurred and are those costs incurred to operate and maintain our wells and related equipment and facilities.

Depreciation and depletion of producing oil and natural gas properties is recorded based on units of production. Acquisition costs of proved properties are amortized on the basis of all proved reserves, developed and undeveloped, and capitalized development costs (wells and related equipment and facilities) are amortized on the basis of proved developed reserves. As more fully described below, proved reserves are estimated annually by Legacy’s independent petroleum engineer,

F-18

Table of Contents   LEGACY RESERVES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

LaRoche Petroleum Consultants, Ltd. ("LaRoche"), and are subject to future revisions based on availability of additional information. Legacy’s in-house reservoir engineers prepare an updated estimate of reserves each quarter. Depletion is calculated each quarter based upon the latest estimated reserves data available. As discussed in Note 14, asset retirement costs are recognized when the asset is placed in service, and are amortized over proved developed reserves using the units of production method. Asset retirement costs are estimated by Legacy’s engineers using existing regulatory requirements and anticipated future inflation rates.

Upon sale or retirement of complete fields of depreciable or depletable property, the book value thereof, less proceeds from sale or salvage value, is charged to income. On sale or retirement of an individual well the proceeds are credited to accumulated depletion and depreciation.

Oil and natural gas properties are reviewed for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Legacy compares net capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties to estimated undiscounted future net cash flows using management’s expectations of future oil and natural gas prices. These future price scenarios reflect Legacy’s estimation of future price volatility. If net capitalized costs exceed estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, the measurement of impairment is based on estimated fair value, using estimated discounted future net cash flows. Significant inputs used to determine the fair values of proved properties include estimates of: (i) reserves; (ii) future operating and development costs; (iii) future commodity prices and (iv) a market-based weighted average cost of capital rate. The underlying commodity prices embedded in Legacy's estimated cash flows are the product of a process that begins with NYMEX forward curve pricing, adjusted for estimated location and quality differentials, as well as other factors that Legacy's management believes will impact realizable prices. For the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), Legacy recognized $105.5 million of impairment expense in 20 separate producing fields, due primarily to the further decline in oil and natural gas futures prices, increased expenses and well performance during the period ended December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), which decreased the expected future cash flows below the carrying value of the assets. For the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), Legacy recognized $58.7 million of impairment expense, in 50 separate producing fields, due primarily to the further decline in oil and natural gas futures prices, increased expenses and well performance during the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), which decreased the expected future cash flows below the carrying value of the assets. For the year ended December 31, 2017(Predecessor), Legacy recognized $37.3 million of impairment expense, in 47 separate producing fields, due primarily to further decline in oil and natural gas futures prices, increased expenses and well performance during the year ended December 31, 2017 (Predecessor), which decreased the expected future cash flows below the carrying value of the assets.

Unproven properties that are individually significant are assessed for impairment and if considered impaired are charged to expense when such impairment is deemed to have occurred. NaN unproved impairment was recognized for the period December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor) or for the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor). Legacy recognized $9.3 million of impairment of unproven properties during the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor). Legacy did 0t recognize impairment expense on unproved properties during the years ended December 31, 2017 (Predecessor). We expect to recognize impairments to our oil and natural gas properties in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruption to the oil market.

(e) Oil, NGLs and Natural Gas Reserve Quantities

Legacy’s estimates of proved reserves are based on the quantities of oil, NGLs and natural gas that engineering and geological analyses demonstrate, with reasonable certainty, to be recoverable from established reservoirs in the future under current operating and economic parameters. LaRoche prepares a reserve and economic evaluation of all Legacy’s properties on a case-by-case basis utilizing information provided to it by Legacy and information available from state agencies that collect information reported to it by the operators of Legacy’s properties. The estimates of Legacy’s proved reserves have been prepared and presented in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and accounting standards.

Reserves and their relation to estimated future net cash flows impact Legacy’s depletion and impairment calculations. As a result, adjustments to depletion and impairment are made concurrently with changes to reserve estimates. Legacy prepares its reserve estimates, and the projected cash flows derived from these reserve estimates, in accordance with SEC guidelines. The independent engineering firm described above adheres to the same guidelines when preparing the reserve report. The accuracy of Legacy’s reserve estimates is a function of many factors including the quality and quantity of available data, the interpretation of that data, the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions, and the judgments of the individuals preparing the estimates.

F-19

Table of Contents   LEGACY RESERVES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Legacy’s proved reserve estimates are a function of many assumptions, all of which could deviate significantly from actual results. As such, reserve estimates may materially vary from the ultimate quantities of oil, NGLs and natural gas eventually recovered.

(f) Income Taxes

Prior to consummation of the Corporate Reorganization on September 20, 2018, Legacy LP was treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes, in which the taxable income or loss was passed through to its unitholders. Legacy LP was subject to Texas margin tax and certain of Legacy LP’s subsidiaries were c-corporations subject to federal and state income taxes. Therefore, with the exception of the state of Texas and certain subsidiaries, Legacy LP did not directly pay federal and state income taxes and recognition was not given to federal and state income taxes for its operations.

Effective upon consummation of the Corporate Reorganization, Legacy Inc. became subject to federal and state income taxes as a c-corporation. As such, we account for income taxes, as required, under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in net income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Our policy is to record interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. At December 31, 2019, we did not have any accrued liability for uncertain tax positions and do not anticipate recognition of any significant liabilities for uncertain tax positions during the next 12 months. Please see Note 17, "Income Taxes" for more information on Legacy's accounting for income taxes.

(g) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Legacy uses derivative financial instruments to achieve more predictable cash flows by reducing its exposure to oil and natural gas price fluctuations and interest rate changes. Legacy does not specifically designate derivative instruments as cash flow hedges, even though they reduce its exposure to changes in oil and natural gas prices and interest rates. Therefore, Legacy records the change in the fair market values of oil and natural gas derivatives in current earnings. Changes in the fair values of interest rate derivatives are recorded in interest expense (see Note 11, "Fair Value Measurements" and Note 12, "Derivative Financial Instruments").

(h) Use of Estimates

Management of Legacy has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates which are particularly significant to the consolidated financial statements include estimates of oil and natural gas reserves, valuation of derivatives, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, depreciation, depletion and amortization, asset retirement obligations and accrued revenues.

(i) Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, Legacy adopted ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”) using the modified retrospective method of transition applied to all contracts. ASU 2014-09 created ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606).

Legacy enters into contracts with customers to sell its produced oil, natural gas and NGLs. Revenue attributable to these contracts is recognized in accordance with the five-step revenue recognition model prescribed in ASC 606. Specifically, revenue is recognized when Legacy’s performance obligations under these contracts are satisfied, which generally occurs when control of the oil, natural gas and NGLs transfers to the purchaser and collectability is reasonably assured. Given the nature of Legacy’s products sold, Legacy has concluded that control transfers to its customers at a point in time. In accordance with ASC 606, Legacy considers the following indicators of the transfer of control to determine the point in time at which control transfers to its customers: (i) Legacy has a present right to payment for the asset; (ii) the customer has legal title to the asset;

F-20

Table of Contents   LEGACY RESERVES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(iii) Legacy has transferred physical possession of the asset; and (iv) the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership.

Oil Sales

Legacy's oil sales contracts are generally structured such that Legacy sells its oil production to the purchaser at a contractually specified delivery point at or near the wellhead. The crude oil production is priced on the delivery date based upon prevailing index prices less certain deductions related to oil quality and physical location. Legacy recognizes revenue when control transfers to the purchaser upon delivery at or near the wellhead based on the net price received from purchaser.

Natural Gas and NGL Sales

Under Legacy's gas processing contracts, Legacy delivers wet gas to a midstream processing entity at the wellhead or the inlet of the midstream processing entity’s system. The midstream processing entity processes the natural gas and remits proceeds to Legacy for the resulting sales of NGLs and residue gas. Under this contract structure, Legacy has determined that the midstream processing entity represents Legacy’s customer, and, consequently, Legacy recognizes revenue when control transfers to the midstream processing entity upon delivery. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the net amount of the proceeds received from the midstream processing entity, which is generally tied to the prevailing index prices for residue gas and NGLs less deductions for gathering, processing, transportation and other expenses.

Under Legacy's dry gas sales that do not require processing, Legacy sells its natural gas production to third party purchasers at a contractually specified delivery point at or near the wellhead. Pricing provisions are tied to a market index, with certain deductions based on, among other factors, whether a well delivers to a gathering or transmission line, quality of natural gas, and prevailing supply and demand conditions. Legacy recognizes revenue when control transfers to its third party purchasers upon delivery of the natural gas based on the relevant index price net of deductions.

Estimation

To the extent actual product volumes and related prices are unavailable for a given reporting period because of timing or information not received from third parties, the expected sales volumes and prices for those properties are estimated and recorded as “Accounts receivable - oil and natural gas” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. See Note 6, "Revenue from Contracts with Customer" for additional information.

Imbalances

Natural gas imbalances occur when Legacy sells more or less than its entitled ownership percentage of total natural gas production. Any amount received in excess of its share is treated as a liability. If Legacy receives less than its entitled share, the underproduction is recorded as a receivable. Legacy did not have any significant natural gas imbalance positions as of the period December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2017 (Predecessor).

(j) Investments

Undivided interests in oil and natural gas properties owned through joint ventures are consolidated on a proportionate basis. Investments in entities where Legacy exercises significant influence, but not a controlling interest, are accounted for by the equity method. Under the equity method, Legacy’s investments are stated at cost plus the equity in undistributed earnings and losses after acquisition. 

(k) Environmental

Legacy is subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are frequently changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require Legacy to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites. Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a non-capital nature are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the timing of cash payments is fixed and readily determinable.

(l) Earnings (Loss) Per Share

F-21

Table of Contents   LEGACY RESERVES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Basic income (loss) per share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income (loss) per share also gives effect to dilutive unvested restricted shares (calculated based upon the treasury stock method) (see Note 15, "Stockholders' Deficit/Unitholders' Deficit"). In accordance with ASC 805, income (loss) per share amounts for historical periods have been recomputed to reflect shares issued in the Corporate Reorganization.

(m) Segment Reporting

Legacy’s management initially treats each new acquisition of oil and natural gas properties as a separate operating segment. Legacy aggregates these operating segments into a single segment for reporting purposes.

(n) Share-Based Compensation

Concurrent with its formation on March 15, 2006, a Long-Term Incentive Plan (“Legacy LP LTIP”) for Legacy was created. Due to Legacy’s history of cash settlements for option exercises unit appreciation rights ("UARs") and certain phantom unit awards, Legacy accounted for these awards under the liability method, which requires Legacy to recognize the fair value of each unit award at the end of each period. Expense or benefit is recognized as the fair value of the liability changes from period to period. Legacy accounted for executive phantom unit and restricted unit awards under the equity method. Pursuant to the terms of the Corporate Reorganization, the Legacy LP LTIP was terminated. On September 19, 2018, the Legacy Inc. 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Legacy Inc, LTIP") was approved by the former unitholders of Legacy LP in connection with the Corporate Reorganization.

(o) Accrued Oil and Natural Gas Liabilities

Below are the components of accrued oil and natural gas liabilities as of the period December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor) and the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor).

(r) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

F-22

Table of Contents   LEGACY RESERVES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms at commencement longer than twelve months. The new standard was effective for us in the first quarter of 2019, and we adopted the new standard using a modified retrospective approach, with the date of initial application on January 1, 2019. Consequently, upon transition, we recognized an ROU asset and a lease liability, with the cumulative-effect of adoption in retained earnings in the amount of $255,916, as of January 1, 2019. We further utilized the package of practical expedients at transition to not reassess the following:

•Whether any expired or existing contracts were or contained leases;

•The lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and

•Initial direct costs for any existing leases.

In addition, we elected the practical expedient to not assess whether existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under superseded guidance are or contain a lease under the new leases guidance.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the arrangement. To the extent that we determine an arrangement represents a lease, we classify that lease as an operating lease or a finance lease. We capitalize operating and finance leases on our consolidated balance sheets through a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

Operating leases are included in other property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of an arrangement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made to the lessor prior to lease commencement, less any lease incentives, and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Finance leases are included in other property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease ROU assets (that is, amounts capitalized in other property and equipment) and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of an arrangement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The finance lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made to the lessor prior to lease commencement, less any lease incentives, and initial direct costs incurred. We generally amortize that ROU asset on a straight-line basis, while interest on the lease liability is calculated using the effective interest method. Lease expense recognized under our finance leases is, therefore, comprised of amortization on the finance lease ROU asset and interest on the finance lease liability.

Nature of Leases

In support of our operations, we lease certain corporate office space, field offices, compressors, drilling rigs, other production equipment, fleet vehicles and storage space under cancelable and non-cancelable contracts. A more detailed description of our material lease types is included below.

Corporate and Field Offices

We enter into long-term contracts to lease corporate and field office space in support of company operations. These contracts are generally structured with an initial non-cancelable term of two to ten years. To the extent that our corporate and field office contracts include renewal options, we evaluate whether we are reasonably certain to exercise those options on a contract by contract basis based on expected future office space needs, market rental rates, drilling plans and other factors. We have further determined that our current corporate and field office leases represent operating leases.

Compressors

We rent compressors from third parties in order to facilitate the downstream movement of our production to market. Our compressor arrangements are typically structured with a non-cancelable primary term of one to twenty-four months and often continue thereafter on a month-to-month basis subject to termination by either party with thirty days’ notice. We have concluded that our compressor rental agreements represent operating leases with a lease term that equals the primary non-cancelable contract term. Upon completion of the primary term, both parties have substantive rights to terminate the lease without incurring a significant penalty. As a result, enforceable rights and obligations do not exist under the rental agreement subsequent to the primary term.

F-23

Table of Contents   LEGACY RESERVES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

To the extent that our compressor rental arrangements have a primary term of twelve months or less, we have elected to apply the practical expedient for short-term leases. For those short-term compressor contracts, we do not apply the lease recognition requirements, and we recognize lease payments related to these arrangements in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Drilling Rigs

We enter into daywork contracts for drilling rigs with third party service contractors to support the development and exploitation of undeveloped reserves and acreage. Our drilling rig arrangements are typically structured with a term that is in effect until drilling operations are completed on a contractually specified well or well pad. Upon mutual agreement with the contractor, we typically have the option to extend the contract term for additional wells or well pads by providing thirty days’ notice prior to the end of the original contract term. We have concluded that our drilling rig arrangements represent short-term operating leases with a lease term that equals the period of time required to complete drilling operations on the contractually specified well or well pad (that is, generally one to a few months from commencement of drilling). We do not include the option to extend the drilling rig contract in the lease term due to the continuously evolving nature of our drilling schedules, which requires significant flexibility in the structure of the term of these arrangements, and the potential volatility in commodity prices in an annual period.

We have further elected to apply the practical expedient for short-term leases to our drilling rig leases. Accordingly, we do not apply the lease recognition requirements to our drilling rig contracts, and we recognize lease payments related to these arrangements in capital expenditures on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Other Production Equipment

We rent other production equipment, primarily electric submersible pumps, from third party vendors to be used in our production operations. These arrangements are typically structured with a non-cancelable term of 1 to 3 months and often continue thereafter on a month-to-month basis subject to termination by either party with thirty days’ notice. We have concluded that we are not reasonably certain of executing the month-to-month renewal options beyond a twelve month period based on the historical term for which we have used other production equipment, and, therefore, our other equipment agreements represent operating leases with a lease term up to twelve months.

We have further elected to apply the practical expedient for short-term leases to our other production equipment contracts. Accordingly, we do not apply the lease recognition requirements to these contracts, and we recognize lease payments related to these arrangements in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Fleet Vehicles

We execute fleet vehicle leases with a third party vendor in support of our day-to-day drilling and production operations. Our vehicle leases are typically structured with a term of 18 to 48 months. We have concluded that the majority of our vehicle leases represent operating leases.

(4) Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of Legacy’s financial instruments approximate the carrying amounts except as discussed below:

Debt. The carrying amount of the revolving long-term debt approximates fair value because Legacy’s current borrowing rate does not materially differ from market rates for similar bank borrowings.

Derivatives. See Note 12, "Derivative Financial Instrument" for discussion of process used in estimating the fair value of commodity price and interest rate derivatives.

Successor Credit Facility

On the Effective Date, Legacy entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among Legacy, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the administrative agent, the collateral agent and the issuing bank. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the lenders party thereto agreed to provide a new reserves-based revolving credit facility (the “Successor Revolving Credit Facility”) with initial aggregate commitments in the amount of $1.5 billion, subject to a borrowing base. The initial borrowing base under the Credit Agreement is $460 million.

The stated maturity date under the Credit Agreement is December 11, 2023. The loans under the Successor Revolving Credit Facility shall bear interest based on borrowing base utilization percentage at a rate per annum equal to the alternate base rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% for alternate base rate loans or the adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 2.25% to 3.25% for LIBOR loans. Unused commitments under the Credit Agreement will accrue a commitment fee at a rate per annum of 0.50%. All interest and commitment fees are payable quarterly in arrears.

Legacy may elect, at its option, to prepay any loan under the Successor Revolving Credit Facility without premium or penalty (except with respect to any break funding payments which may be payable pursuant to the Credit Agreement). Legacy may be required to make mandatory prepayments of the loans under the Successor Revolving Credit Facility in connection with certain borrowing base deficiencies. Additionally, if Legacy has outstanding borrowings, undrawn letters of credit and reimbursement obligations in respect of letters of credit issued under the Successor Revolving Credit Facility in excess of the aggregate revolving commitments, Legacy may be required to make mandatory prepayments.

Legacy’s obligations under the Successor Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of Legacy’s material domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) and secured by substantially all of the assets of Legacy and the Guarantors, including at least 95% of the net present value of Legacy’s and the Guarantors’ proved oil and gas properties, in each case subject to certain exceptions.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and also customary affirmative and negative covenants, in each case for credit facilities of this nature, including restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, asset sales, investments, dividends, redemptions, repayments of other debt and hedge agreements. Additionally, Legacy is required as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2020, to maintain (a) a maximum total net leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00 and (b) a minimum current ratio of 1.00 of 1.00. Additionally, the Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and remedies for credit facilities of this nature, including non-payment, breaches of representations and warranties, non-compliance with covenants or other agreements, bankruptcy, ERISA, failure of the loan documents to be in full force and effect, judgments and change of control. As of December 31, 2019 (Successor), Legacy was in compliance with all financial and other covenants of the Credit Agreement.

Predecessor DIP Credit Agreement

On June 21, 2019, in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, Legacy LP entered into the DIP Credit Agreement. The DIP Credit Agreement provided for a senior secured priming superpriority debtor-in-possession revolving loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $350 million, consisting of (i) a new money revolving loan facility in an aggregate amount of up to $100 million (the “New Money Facility”), and (ii) a refinancing term loan in the amount of $250 million (the “Refinancing Facility”). Borrowings under the (i) New Money Facility beared interest, at the option of the Company, at a rate per annum equal to the alternate base rate (the “ABR”) plus 4.25% or LIBOR plus 5.25% and (ii) the Refinancing Facility beared interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus 3.50%. The Company was required to pay an unused commitment fee equal to 1.00% per annum to the lenders under the New Money Facility in respect of the unused commitments thereunder. Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the DIP Credit Agreement was terminated in accordance with the Plan. See Note 1 for more information regarding the termination of the DIP Credit Agreement.

Predecessor Credit Facility

On April 1, 2014, Legacy LP entered into a five years $1.5 billion Prepetition RBL Credit Agreement, which provided a reserves-based credit facility (the "Predecessor Credit Facility"). On March 21, 2019, the maturity of the Prepetition RBL Credit Agreement was extended from April 1, 2019 to May 31, 2019. Legacy's obligations under the Prepetition RBL Credit Agreement were secured by mortgages on over 95% of the total value of its oil and natural gas properties as well as a pledge of all of its ownership interests in its operating subsidiaries and Legacy's ownership interests in the General Partner. Concurrently with the Corporate Reorganization, the General Partner and Legacy Inc. provided guarantees of Legacy LP's obligations under the Prepetition RBL Credit Agreement. The borrowing base was subject to semi-annual redeterminations on or about April 1 and October 1 of each year, and the Prepetition RBL Credit Agreement matured on May 31, 2019. Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Prepetition RBL Credit Agreement was terminated in accordance with the Plan. See Note 1 for more information regarding the termination of the Prepetition RBL Credit Agreement.

Predecessor Second Lien Term Loans

On October 25, 2016, Legacy entered into the Term Loan Credit Agreement, initially providing for term loans up to an aggregate principal amount of $300 million (the “Second Lien Term Loans”). The Term Loan Credit Agreement was scheduled to mature on August 31, 2021; provided that, if on July 1, 2020, Legacy had greater than or equal to a face amount of $15.0 million of Senior Notes that were outstanding on the date the Term Loan Credit Agreement was entered into or any other senior notes with a maturity date that is earlier than August 31, 2021, the Term Loan Credit Agreement was to mature on August 1, 2020. The Second Lien Term Loans were secured on a second lien priority basis by the same collateral that secured the Predecessor Credit Agreement and were unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the same wholly owned subsidiaries of Legacy that were guarantors under the Credit Agreement. In addition, upon consummation of the Corporate Reorganization, the General Partner and Legacy Inc. became guarantors. On December 31, 2017, the Term Loan Credit Agreement was amended, which, among other things, increased the maximum amount available for borrowing under the Second Lien Term Loans to $400 million. Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Term Loan Credit Agreement was terminated in accordance with the Plan. See Note 1 for more information regarding the termination of the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

Predecessor 8% Senior Notes Due 2020

On December 4, 2012, Legacy and its 100% owned subsidiary Legacy Reserves Finance Corporation completed a private placement offering to eligible purchasers of an aggregate principal amount of $300 million of Legacy's 8% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Senior Notes" and, together with the 2021 Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”), which were

subsequently registered through a public exchange offer that closed on January 8, 2014. The 2020 Senior Notes were issued at 97.848% of par. Interest was payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year.

Legacy and Legacy Reserves Finance Corporation's obligations under the 2020 Senior Notes were guaranteed by its 100% owned subsidiaries.

In connection with the exchange of approximately $21.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2020 Senior Notes for the same aggregate principal of the 2023 Convertible Notes and the issuance of 105,020 shares of Common Stock in September 2018, Legacy recognized a $1.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt, which consisted of the difference between (1) the face amount of the exchanged 2020 Senior Notes repurchased net of the unamortized portion of both the original issuer's discount and issuance costs and (2) the fair value of the new 2023 Convertible Notes.

During the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), Legacy exchanged 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for $3.1 million of face amount of its outstanding 2020 Senior Notes. Legacy treated the exchange as an extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, Legacy recognized a gain for the difference between (1) the face amount of the 2020 Senior Notes repurchased net of the unamortized portion of both the original issuer's discount and issuance costs and (2) the fair value of the units issued in the exchange based on the closing price on the date of exchange.

Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the 2020 Senior Notes were terminated in accordance with the Plan. See Note 1 for more information regarding the termination of the 2020 Senior Notes.

Predecessor 6.625% Senior Notes Due 2021

On May 28, 2013, Legacy and its 100% owned subsidiary Legacy Reserves Finance Corporation completed a private placement offering to eligible purchasers of an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million of Legacy's 6.625% Senior Notes due 2021 (the "2021 Senior Notes"), which were subsequently registered through a public exchange offer that closed on March 18, 2014. The 2021 Senior Notes were issued at 98.405% of par. Interest was payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year.

On May 13, 2014, Legacy and its 100% owned subsidiary Legacy Reserves Finance Corporation completed a private placement offering to eligible purchasers of an aggregate principal amount of an additional $300.0 million of the 6.625% 2021 Senior Notes. These 2021 Senior Notes were issued at 99% of par.

The terms of the 2021 Senior Notes, including details related to Legacy's guarantors, are substantially identical to the terms of the 2020 Senior Notes with the exception of the maturity date, interest rate and redemption provisions Legacy and Legacy Reserves Finance Corporation's obligations under the 2021 Senior Notes were guaranteed by the same parties and on the same terms as Legacy's 2020 Senior Notes discussed above.

For the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), $1.75 million of 2021 Senior Notes were exchanged for 593,367 shares of common stock. Legacy treated the exchange as an extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, Legacy recognized a gain for the difference between (1) the face amount of the 2021 Senior Notes repurchased net of the unamortized portion of both the original issuer's discount and issuance costs and (2) the fair value of shares issued in the exchange based on the closing price on the date of exchange.

On September 20, 2018, in connection with the exchange of approximately $109.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2021 Senior Notes for the same aggregate principal of the 2023 Convertible Notes, Legacy recognized a $10.7 million gain on extinguishment of debt, which consisted of the difference between (1) the face amount of the exchanged 2021 Senior Notes repurchased net of the unamortized portion of both the original issuer's discount and issuance costs and (2) the fair value of the new 2023 Convertible Notes.

During the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), Legacy exchanged 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock for $5.3 million of face amount of its outstanding 2020 Senior Notes. Legacy treated the exchange as an extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, Legacy recognized a gain for the difference between (1) the face amount of the 2020 Senior Notes repurchased net of the unamortized portion of both the original issuer's discount and issuance costs and (2) the fair value of the units issued in the exchange based on the closing price on the date of exchange.

On December 31, 2017 (Predecessor), Legacy entered into an agreement to repurchase a face amount of $187.0 million of its 2021 Senior Notes from certain holders in a single transaction. The transaction was funded on January 5, 2018 and was therefore recognized in 2018. Legacy treated this repurchase as an extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, Legacy recognized

a gain for the difference between (1) the face amount of the 2021 Senior Notes repurchased net of the unamortized portion of both the original issuer's discount and issuance costs and (2) the repurchase price.

Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the 2021 Senior Notes were terminated in accordance with the Plan. See Note 1 for more information regarding the termination of the 2021 Senior Notes.

Predecessor 8% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2023 (the "2023 Convertible Notes")

On September 20, 2018, Legacy and its 100% owned subsidiary Legacy Reserves Finance Corporation (together, the “Issuers”), completed private exchanges with certain holders of senior notes, pursuant to which the Issuers exchanged (i) $21.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2020 Senior Notes for $21.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Convertible Notes and 105,020 shares of common stock and (ii) $109.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2021 Senior Notes for $109.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Convertible Notes. The 2023 Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of September 20, 2018 (the “2023 Convertible Note Indenture”). Interest was payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year.

Upon issuance, the Company separately accounted for the liability and equity components in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 470-20. The initial fair value of the 2023 Convertible Notes in its entirety (inclusive of the equity component related to the conversion option) was estimated using observable inputs such as trades that occurred on the day of the transaction. The liability component was recorded at the estimated fair value of a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature. The difference between the aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Convertible Notes and the fair value of the liability component was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method. The fair value of the liability component of the 2023 Convertible Notes was estimated at $101.0 million, resulting in a debt discount of $29.0 million The equity component, representing the value of the conversion option, was computed by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the initial fair value of the 2023 Convertible Notes. The equity component was recorded in additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity.

The 2023 Convertible Notes were to mature September 20, 2023, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed by the Issuers or converted. The 2023 Convertible Notes were subject to redemption for cash, in whole or in part, at the Issuers’ option at a redemption price equal to 100% of the 2023 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Issuers would have been required to make an offer to holders of the 2023 Convertible Notes upon a change of control at a price equal to 101%, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, and an offer to holders of the 2023 Convertible Notes upon consummation by the Issuers or any restricted subsidiaries of certain asset sales at a price equal to 100%, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

The 2023 Convertible Notes were convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion rate of 166.6667 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2023 Convertible Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of $6.00 per share of common stock (the "Conversion Price")

The 2023 Convertible Notes were convertible, at the option of the holders, into shares of common stock at any time from the date of issuance up until the close of business on the earlier of (i) the business day prior to the date of a mandatory conversion notice, (ii) with respect to a 2023 Convertible Note called for redemption, the business day immediately preceding the redemption date or (iii) the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. In addition, if a holder exercised its right to convert on or prior to September 19, 2019, such holder received an early conversion payment, in cash, per $1,000 principal amount as follows:

Early Conversion Date	Early Conversion Payment
December 1, 2018 through May 31, 2019..............................................................................................................	$64.22
June 1, 2019 through September 19, 2019..............................................................................................................	$24.22

The 2023 Convertible Notes were guaranteed by Legacy Inc., the General Partner, Legacy Reserves Operating GP LLC, Legacy Reserves Operating LP, Legacy Reserves Services LLC, Legacy Reserves Energy Services LLC, Dew Gathering LLC and Pinnacle Gas Treating LLC.

The terms of the 2023 Convertible Notes, including the guarantors, were substantially identical to the terms of the 2020 Senior Notes and 2021 Senior Notes with the exception of the interest rate, conversion and redemption provisions noted above.

(6)  Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Oil, NGL and natural gas sales revenues are generally recognized at the point in time that control of the product is transferred to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. This generally occurs when oil or natural gas has been delivered to a pipeline or a tank lifting has occurred. A more detailed summary of the sale of each product type is included below.

Oil Sales

Legacy's oil sales contracts are generally structured such that Legacy sells its oil production to the purchaser at a contractually specified delivery point at or near the wellhead. The crude oil production is priced on the delivery date based upon prevailing index prices less certain deductions related to oil quality and physical location. Legacy recognizes revenue when control transfers to the purchaser upon delivery at the net price received from purchaser.

NGL and Natural Gas Sales

Under Legacy's gas processing contracts, Legacy delivers wet gas to a midstream processing entity at the wellhead or the inlet of the midstream processing entity’s system. The midstream processing entity processes the natural gas and remits proceeds to Legacy for the resulting sales of NGLs and residue gas. In these scenarios, Legacy evaluates whether it is the principal or the agent in the transaction. In virtually all of Legacy's gas processing contracts, Legacy has concluded that it is the agent, and the midstream processing entity is Legacy's customer. Accordingly, Legacy recognizes revenue upon delivery based on the net amount of the proceeds received from the midstream processing entity. Proceeds are generally tied to the prevailing index prices for residue gas and NGLs less deductions for gathering, processing, transportation and other expenses.

Under Legacy's dry gas sales that do not require processing, Legacy sells its natural gas production to third party purchasers at a contractually specified delivery point at or near the wellhead. Pricing provisions are tied to a market index, with certain deductions based on, among other factors, whether a well delivers to a gathering or transmission line, quality of natural gas, and prevailing supply and demand conditions, so that the price of the natural gas fluctuates to remain competitive with other available natural gas supplies. Legacy recognizes revenue upon delivery of the natural gas to third party purchasers based on the relevant index price net of deductions.

Imbalances

Natural gas imbalances occur when Legacy sells more or less than its entitled ownership percentage of total natural gas production. Any amount received in excess of its share is treated as a liability. If Legacy receives less than its entitled share, the underproduction is recorded as a receivable. Legacy did not have any significant natural gas imbalance positions for the period December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), and the year ended December 31, 2017 (Predecessor).

Disaggregation of Revenue

Legacy has identified three material revenue streams in its business: oil sales, NGL sales, and natural gas sales. Revenue attributable to each of Legacy's identified revenue streams is disaggregated in the table below.

	Successor		Predecessor
	Period from December 11, 2019 to December 31,		Period from January 1, 2019 to December 10,
(In thousands)	2019		2019
Revenues:
Oil sales	$	23,232	$	300,905
Natural gas liquids (NGL) sales	916		14,082
Natural gas sales	6,016		101,488
Total revenues	$	30,164	$	416,475

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Significant Judgments

Principal versus agent

Legacy engages in various types of transactions in which midstream entities process its gas and subsequently market resulting NGLs and residue gas to third-party customers on Legacy's behalf, such as Legacy's percentage-of-proceeds and gas purchase contracts. These types of transactions require judgment to determine whether Legacy is the principal or the agent in the contract and, as a result, whether revenues are recorded gross or net.

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations

A significant number of Legacy's product sales are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, Legacy has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606 that exempts it from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

For Legacy's product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, Legacy has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606 that states that it is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these sales contracts, each unit of product represents a separate performance obligation; therefore future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.

Contract balances

Under Legacy's product sales contracts, it is entitled to payment from purchasers once its performance obligations have been satisfied upon delivery of the product, at which point payment is unconditional and invoiced amounts are recorded as “Accounts receivable - oil and natural gas” in its consolidated balance sheet.

To the extent actual volumes and prices of oil and natural gas are unavailable for a given reporting period because of timing or information not received from third parties, the expected sales volumes and prices for those properties are estimated and also recorded as “Accounts receivable - oil and natural gas” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In this scenario, payment is also unconditional, as Legacy has satisfied its performance obligations through delivery of the relevant product. As a result, Legacy has concluded that its product sales do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities under ASC 606.

Prior-period performance obligations

Legacy records revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser. However, settlement statements for certain oil, natural gas and NGL sales may not be received for 30 to 60 days after the date production is delivered, and as a result, Legacy is required to estimate the amount of production that was delivered to the midstream purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. Additionally, to the extent actual volumes and prices of oil are unavailable for a given reporting period because of timing or information not received from third party purchasers, the expected sales volumes and prices for those barrels of oil are also estimated.

Legacy records the differences between its estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. Legacy has existing internal controls in place for its estimation process, and any identified differences between its revenue estimates and actual revenue received historically have not been significant. For the period December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor) and the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), revenue recognized related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods was 0t material.

(7) Asset Acquisitions and Dispositions

On August 1, 2017, Legacy made a payment in the amount of $141 million (the “Acceleration Payment”) in connection with its First Amended and Restated Development Agreement (the “Restated Agreement”) with Jupiter JV, LP (“Jupiter”). The Acceleration Payment caused the reversion to Legacy of additional working interests in all wells and associated personal property and infrastructure (collectively, the “Wells”) and all undeveloped assets subject to the Restated Agreement. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. Therefore, the acquired interests were recorded based upon the cash consideration paid, with all value assigned to proved oil and natural gas properties.

F-31

Table of Contents   LEGACY RESERVES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

During the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), Legacy divested certain individually immaterial oil and natural gas assets for net cash proceeds of $55.0 million. These dispositions were treated as asset sales and resulted in a gain on disposition of assets of $23.8 million during the period.

(8) Related Party Transactions

Blue Quail Energy Services, LLC (“Blue Quail”), a company specializing in water transfer services, is an affiliate of Moriah Energy Services LLC, an entity which former Legacy director Cary D. Brown is a principal. Legacy has contracted with Blue Quail to provide water transfer services and paid $18,157, $37,008, $169,949 and $9,758 for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor) and the year ended December 31, 2017 (Predecessor), respectively, to Blue Quail for such services.

(9) Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time Legacy is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty, Legacy is not currently a party to any proceeding that it believes could have a potential material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Legacy is subject to numerous laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. To the extent laws are enacted or other governmental action is taken that restricts drilling or imposes environmental protection requirements that result in increased costs to the oil and natural gas industry in general, the business and prospects of Legacy could be adversely affected.

Legacy has employment agreements with its officers. The employment agreements with its officers specify that if the officer is terminated by Legacy for other than cause or following a change in control, the officer shall receive severance pay ranging from 12 to 36 months' salary plus bonus and COBRA benefits, respectively.

(10) Business and Credit Concentrations

Cash

Legacy maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured amounts. Legacy has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Legacy believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash.

 Revenue and Accounts Receivable

Substantially all of Legacy’s accounts receivable result from oil and natural gas sales or joint interest billings to third parties in the oil and natural gas industry. This concentration of customers and joint interest owners may impact Legacy’s overall credit risk in that these entities may be similarly affected by changes in economic and other conditions. Historically, Legacy has not experienced significant credit losses on such receivables. NaN bad debt expense was recorded for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor) and the year ended December 31, 2017 (Predecessor). Legacy cannot ensure that such losses will not be realized in the future. A listing of oil and natural gas purchasers exceeding 10% of Legacy’s sales is presented in Note 13, "Sales to Major Customers". 

Commodity Derivatives

Due to the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, Legacy periodically enters into price-risk management transactions (e.g., swaps, collars and enhanced swaps) for a portion of its oil and natural gas production to achieve a more predictable cash flow, as well as to reduce exposure from price fluctuations. Legacy values these transactions at fair value on a recurring basis (Note 12, "Derivative Financial Instrument"). As of December 31, 2019 (Successor), Legacy’s commodity derivative transactions have a fair value unfavorable to the Company of $(13.1) million, collectively. Legacy enters into commodity derivative transactions with entities which Legacy's management believes are creditworthy. In addition, Legacy reviews and assesses the creditworthiness of these institutions on a routine basis.

(11) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1:	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Legacy considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:	Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes those derivative instruments that Legacy values using observable market data. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the term of the derivative instrument, can be derived from observable data, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter commodity price swaps and collars and interest rate swaps as well as long-term incentive plan liabilities calculated using the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value as of the measurement date.
Level 3:	Measured based on prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources (i.e. supported by little or no market activity). Legacy’s valuation models are primarily industry standard models that consider various inputs including: (a) quoted forward prices for commodities, (b) time value, and (c) current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Level 3 instruments currently are limited to Midland-Cushing crude oil differential swaps. Although Legacy utilizes third party broker quotes to assess the reasonableness of its prices and valuation techniques, Legacy does not have sufficient corroborating evidence to support classifying these assets and liabilities as Level 2.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Legacy’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.

Legacy estimates the fair values of its commodity swaps based on published forward commodity price curves for the underlying commodities as of the date of the estimate for those commodities for which published forward pricing is readily available. For those commodity derivatives for which forward commodity price curves are not readily available, Legacy estimates, with the assistance of third-party pricing experts, the forward curves as of the date of the estimate. Legacy validates the data provided by third parties by understanding the pricing models used, obtaining market values from other pricing sources, analyzing pricing data in certain situations and confirming, where applicable, that those securities trade in active markets. Legacy estimates the option value of puts and calls combined into hedges, including costless collars, three-way collars and enhanced swaps using an option pricing model which takes into account market volatility, market prices, contract parameters and discount rates based on published LIBOR rates and interest swap rates. Due to the lack of an active market for periods beyond one-month from the balance sheet date for Legacy's oil price differential swaps, Legacy has reviewed historical differential prices and known economic influences to estimate a reasonable forward curve of future pricing scenarios based upon these factors. In order to estimate the fair value of its interest rate swaps, Legacy uses a yield curve based on money market rates and interest rate swaps, extrapolates a forecast of future interest rates, estimates each future cash flow, derives discount factors to value the fixed and floating rate cash flows of each swap, and then discounts to present value all known (fixed) and forecasted (floating) swap cash flows. Curve building and discounting techniques used to establish the theoretical market value of interest bearing securities are based on readily available money market rates and interest swap market data. The determination of the fair values above incorporates various factors including the impact of Legacy's non-performance risk and the credit standing of the counterparties involved in Legacy’s derivative contracts. The risk of nonperformance by Legacy’s counterparties is mitigated by the fact that enters into derivative transactions with entities which Legacy's management believes are creditworthy. In addition, Legacy routinely monitors the creditworthiness of its counterparties. As the factors described above are based on significant assumptions made by management, these assumptions are the most sensitive to change.

____________________

(a)Due to the lack of a historical market, we have historically accounted for our Midland-to-Cushing crude oil differential swaps as Level 3. However, with recent widening differentials, an active market has been created in which quoted prices are readily observable. As such, we determined that the inputs used to value these derivatives classify as Level 2 and transferred the value of the derivatives into Level 2 during 2018.

During periods of market disruption, including periods of volatile oil and natural gas prices, rapid credit contraction or illiquidity, it may be difficult to value certain of the Legacy's derivative instruments if trading becomes less frequent and/or market data becomes less observable. There may be certain asset classes that were in active markets with observable data that become illiquid due to changes in the financial environment. In such cases, more derivative instruments may fall to Level 3 and thus require more subjectivity and management judgment. As such, valuations may include inputs and assumptions that are less observable or require greater estimation as well as valuation methods which are more sophisticated or require greater estimation thereby resulting in valuations with less certainty. Further, rapidly changing commodity and unprecedented credit and equity market conditions could materially impact the valuation of derivative instruments as reported within Legacy's consolidated financial statements and the period-to-period changes in value could vary significantly. Decreases in value may have a material adverse effect on Legacy's results of operations or financial condition.

Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

On the Effective Date, the Company emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases and adopted fresh-start accounting, which resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Upon the adoption of fresh-start accounting, the Company’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair values as of the fresh-start reporting date, December 11, 2019. See Note 2, “Fresh-start Accounting,” for a detailed discussion of the fair value approaches used by the Company.

Nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities as may be acquired in a business combination, measurements of oil and natural gas property impairments, and the initial recognition of asset retirement obligations, for which fair value is used. These ARO estimates are derived from historical costs as well as management’s expectation of future cost environments. As there is no corroborating market activity to support the assumptions used, Legacy has designated these measurements as Level 3. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of Legacy’s ARO is presented in Note 14, "Asset Retirement Obligation."

Nonrecurring fair value measurements of proved oil and natural gas properties during the years ended December 31, 2019 (Successor) and 2018 (Predecessor) consist of impairment of the carrying value oil and natural gas properties to their fair value of $148.5 million and $43.9 million, respectively. Legacy periodically reviews oil and natural gas properties for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. For the period December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), Legacy did 0t recognize any impairment. During the period January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), Legacy incurred impairment charges of $105.5 million as oil and natural gas properties with a net cost basis of $254.0 million were written down to their fair value of $148.5 million. During the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), Legacy incurred impairment charges of $58.7 million as oil and natural gas properties with a net cost basis of $102.6 million were written down to their fair value of $43.9 million. In order to determine whether the carrying value of an asset is recoverable, Legacy compares net capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties to estimated undiscounted future net cash flows using management’s expectations of future oil and natural gas prices. These future price scenarios reflect Legacy’s estimation of future price volatility. If the net capitalized cost exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows, Legacy writes the net cost basis down to the discounted future net cash flows, which is management's estimate of fair value. Significant inputs used to determine the fair value include estimates of: (i) reserves; (ii) future operating and development costs; (iii) future commodity prices; and (iv) a market-based weighted average cost of capital rate. The underlying commodity prices embedded in the Company's estimated cash flows are the product of a process that begins with NYMEX forward curve pricing, adjusted for estimated location and quality differentials, as well as other factors that Legacy's management believes will impact realizable prices. The inputs used by management for the fair value measurements utilized in this review include significant unobservable inputs, and therefore, the fair value measurements employed are classified as Level 3 for these types of assets.

(12) Derivative Financial Instruments

Commodity derivative transactions

Due to the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, Legacy periodically enters into price-risk management transactions (e.g., swaps and enhanced swaps) for a portion of its oil and natural gas production to achieve a more predictable cash flow, as well as to reduce exposure from price fluctuations. While the use of these arrangements limits Legacy’s ability to benefit from increases in the prices of oil and natural gas, it also reduces Legacy’s potential exposure to adverse price movements. Legacy’s arrangements, to the extent it enters into any, apply to only a portion of its production, provide only partial price protection against declines in oil and natural gas prices and limit Legacy’s potential gains from future increases in prices. None of these instruments are used for trading or speculative purposes.

These derivative instruments are intended to mitigate a portion of Legacy’s price-risk and may be considered hedges for economic purposes, but Legacy has chosen not to designate them as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Therefore, all derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value being recorded in current period earnings.

By using derivative instruments to mitigate exposures to changes in commodity prices, Legacy exposes itself to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes Legacy, which creates credit risk. Legacy minimizes the credit or repayment risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the changes in fair value of Legacy's commodity derivatives for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), for the years ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), and 2017 (Predecessor).

2021	29,200,000	$2.41	$2.37	-	$2.44

Interest rate derivative transactions

Due to the volatility of interest rates, Legacy periodically enters into interest rate risk management transactions in the form of interest rate swaps for a portion of its outstanding debt balance. These transactions allow Legacy to reduce exposure to interest rate fluctuations. While the use of these arrangements limits Legacy’s ability to benefit from decreases in interest rates, it also reduces Legacy’s potential exposure to increases in interest rates. Legacy’s arrangements, to the extent it enters into any, apply to only a portion of its outstanding debt balance, provide only partial protection against interest rate increases and limit Legacy’s potential savings from future interest rate declines. It is never management’s intention to hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes. Conditions sometimes arise where actual borrowings are less than notional amounts hedged which has and could result in overhedged amounts.

Legacy does not designate these derivatives as cash flow hedges, even though they reduce its exposure to changes in interest rates. Therefore, the mark-to-market of these instruments is recorded in current earnings and classified as a component of interest expense. The total impact on interest expense from the mark-to-market and settlements was as follows:

(14) Asset Retirement Obligation

An asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset is recognized as a liability in the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable. When liabilities for dismantlement and abandonment costs, excluding salvage values, are initially recorded, the carrying amount of the related oil and natural gas properties is increased. The fair value of the additions to the ARO asset and liability is estimated using valuation techniques that convert future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation include estimates of: (i) plug and abandon costs per well based on existing regulatory requirements; (ii) remaining life per well; (iii) future inflation factors; and (iv) a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates by Legacy's management at the time of the valuation and are the most sensitive and subject to change. Accretion of the liability is recognized each period using the interest method of allocation, and the capitalized cost is depleted using the units of production method. Should either the estimated life or the estimated abandonment costs of a property change materially upon Legacy’s periodic review, a new calculation is performed using the same methodology of taking the abandonment cost and inflating it forward to its abandonment date and then discounting it back to the present using Legacy’s credit-adjusted-risk-free rate. The carrying value of the ARO is adjusted to the newly calculated value, with a corresponding offsetting adjustment to the asset retirement cost. When obligations are relieved by sale of the property or plugging and abandoning the well, the related liability and asset costs are removed from Legacy's balance sheet. Any difference in the cost to plug and the related liability is recorded as a gain or loss on Legacy's statement of operations in the disposal of assets line item. Upon the Company's emergence from bankruptcy on December 11, 2019, as discussed in Note 1, "Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code," the Company applied fresh-start accounting. This included adjusting the Asset Retirement Obligations based on the estimated fair values at the Effective Date.

The following table reflects the changes in the ARO during the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), and the years ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor) and 2017 (Predecessor).

For the year ended December 31, 2019 (Successor), no revision of previous estimates were necessary due to adjusting the Asset Retirement Obligation based on the estimated fair values. For the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), Legacy decreased its estimate of future asset retirement obligations by $4.9 million. For the year ended December 31, 2017 (Predecessor), 0 revision of previous estimates were deemed necessary.

(16) Stock-Based Compensation

Legacy LP Long Term Incentive Plan

On March 15, 2006, a Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, “LTIP”) for Legacy was created and Legacy adopted the LTIP for its employees, consultants and directors, its affiliates and its general partner. The awards under the long-term incentive plan may include unit grants, restricted units, phantom units, unit options and unit appreciation rights (“UARs”). The LTIP permits the grant of awards that may be made or settled in units up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 units. As of September, 2018 grants of awards net of forfeitures and, in the case of phantom units, historical exercises covering 3,459,197 units had been made, comprised of 266,014 unit option awards, 988,207 restricted unit awards, 1,424,114 phantom unit awards and 780,862 unit awards. Pursuant to the terms of the Corporate Reorganization, the Legacy LP long-term incentive plan ("Legacy LP LTIP") was terminated.

Unit Appreciation Rights

A UAR is a notional unit that entitles the holder, upon vesting, to receive cash valued at the difference between the closing price of units on the exercise date and the exercise price, as determined on the date of grant. Because these awards are settled in cash, Legacy accounts for the UARs under the liability method.

Legacy did not issue UARs to employees during the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor) or the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor). All outstanding UARs vested on September 20, 2018 in connection with the Corporate Reorganization and were subsequently exercised or forfeited.

As a result of all UARs vesting on September 20, 2018 and no new UARs being issued for the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor) and the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), Legacy did not record any compensation (benefit) expense. For the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), Legacy recorded compensation (benefit) expense of $(169,024), due to the changes in the compensation liability related to the above awards based on its use of the Black-Scholes model to estimate the December 31, 2018 (Predecessor) fair value of these UARs.

The cost of employee services in exchange for an award of equity instruments was measured based on a grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions), and that cost was generally recognized over the vesting period of the award. However, if an entity that nominally has the choice of settling awards by issuing stock predominately settles in cash, or if an entity usually settles in cash whenever an employee asks for cash settlement, the entity is settling a substantive liability rather than repurchasing an equity instrument. Because the UARs were settled in cash, Legacy accounted for them by utilizing the liability method. The liability method requires companies to measure the cost of the employee services in exchange for a cash award based on the fair value of the underlying security at the end of each reporting period. Compensation cost was recognized based on the change in the liability between periods.

Phantom Units

Legacy previously issued phantom units under the Legacy LP LTIP to executive officers.

Legacy accounted for the phantom units settled in Partnership units by utilizing the equity method. Legacy accounted for the phantom units settled in cash by utilizing the liability method. 391,674 Phantom units that settle in cash and 1,032,440 phantom units that settle in units vested on September 20, 2018 in connection with the Corporate Reorganization. Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, all then existing equity was extinguished in accordance with the Plan. See Note 1 for more information.

LTIP") was approved by the former unitholders of Legacy LP in connection with the Corporate Reorganization for it and its affiliates' employees, consultants and directors. The Legacy Inc. LTIP provides for up to 10,500,000 shares (the "Share Reserve") to be used for awards, and that the Share Reserve will increase proportionately by 10% of all shares of common stock issued by Legacy Inc. after the effective date of the Legacy Inc. LTIP and before the first anniversary of the effective date. The awards under the Legacy Inc. LTIP may include stock grants, restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options. For the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), grants of awards net of forfeitures covering 549,164 shares had been made, compromised of 516,594 restricted stock units and 32,570 stock awards.

(17) Income Taxes

Effective September 20, 2018, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Legacy Inc. became subject to federal and state income taxes. Prior to consummation of the Corporate Reorganization, Legacy LP was treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes, in which the taxable income or loss was passed through to its unitholders. With the exception of the state of Texas and certain subsidiaries, Legacy LP did not directly pay federal and state income taxes and recognition was not given to federal and state income taxes for its operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

On December 22, 2017, Public Law No. 115-97, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law. The provisions of the Tax Act that impact Legacy include, but are not limited to, (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0%, (2) full expensing of certain qualified property acquired after September 27, 2017, (3) limitations on the maximum deduction for net operating loss (NOL) as well as indefinite life carryforwards for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and (4) limitations on the maximum deduction for net business interest expense in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Legacy has previously recorded all amounts for the income effects of the Tax Act as of December 31, 2017.

On June 18, 2019, Legacy and certain of its subsidiaries commenced voluntary cases under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. On November 15, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Plan, and on December 11, 2019 the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms and the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases. Pursuant to the Plan, certain obligations of the Debtors were extinguished. Absent an exception, a debtor recognizes CODI upon discharge of its outstanding indebtedness for an amount of consideration that is less than its adjusted issue price. The Tax Code provides that a debtor in a bankruptcy case (such as the Chapter 11 Cases) may exclude CODI from taxable income but must reduce certain of its tax attributes by the amount of any CODI realized as a result of the Plan. The amount of CODI realized by a taxpayer is the adjusted issue price of any indebtedness discharged less the sum of (i) the amount of cash paid, (ii) the issue price of any new indebtedness issued and (iii) the fair market value of any other consideration, including equity, issued. As a result of the market value of equity upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, the amount of CODI realized was approximately $640 million, which reduced the Company’s U.S. NOL carryovers of $195 million to 0, and further reduced the Company’s tax basis in producing properties (subject to future recovery through tax DD&A deductions) by $445 million.

For the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), the years ended December 31, 2018, and 2017 (Predecessor) the effective income tax rates were 0.21%, 0.06%, 6.3% and (2.7)%, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2019 (Successor), our effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible executive compensation and the valuation allowance. For the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), our effective rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible debt restructuring expenses and the valuation allowance. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), our effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to Legacy LP’s income not being subject to U.S. federal income tax, the 2023 Convertible Notes issuance, Texas margins tax, and the valuation allowance. For the year ended December 31, 2017 (Predecessor), our effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to Legacy LP’s income not being subject to U.S. federal income tax and Texas margins tax.

For the period of December 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor), the period of January 1, 2019 through December 10, 2019 (Predecessor), the years ended December 31, 2018, and 2017 (Predecessor), we recorded income/(loss) before income taxes of $3.1 million, $174.0 million, $46.8 million and $(52.5) million, respectively. All of Legacy's income is sourced within the United States.

At December 31, 2019, Legacy had a net interest expense carryover of $85 million under Section 163(j) of the Code subject to indefinite carryover. Legacy has recorded a full valuation allowance against the net interest expense carryover and other deferred tax assets because it is probable that these attributes will not be realized.

F-47

Table of Contents   LEGACY RESERVES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

In assessing the realizability of net deferred tax assets, Legacy's management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, as of December 31, 2019, a full valuation allowance has been recorded as management has determined that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. The full valuation allowance could be adjusted in future periods if objective negative evidence is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence.

In accordance with the applicable accounting standards, Legacy recognizes only the impact of income tax positions that, based on their merits, are more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by a taxing authority. To evaluate its current tax positions to identify any material uncertain tax positions, Legacy developed a policy of identifying and evaluating uncertain tax positions that considers support for each tax position, industry standards, tax return disclosures and schedules and the significance of each position. It is Legacy’s policy to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company had no material uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2019. The tax years 2015 through 2019 remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions.

(20) Subsequent Events

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new

strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (“COVID-19”) and the risks to the international community as

the virus spread globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a

pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.

In addition, crude oil prices have recently experienced a severe decrease due to increased supply by Organization of the

Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) nations and general economic downturn, although, as of April 2020, Russia and

OPEC have reached a tentative agreement on production cuts. Other countries, including the U.S. and Canada, are expected to

reduce production as well. As of April 2020, some states, including Texas and Oklahoma, are considering proration of oil production in response to market conditions, which could limit the amount of oil and natural gas we can produce from our wells or limit the number of wells or the locations at which we can drill.

Many uncertainties remain regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruption in the oil market, and it is impossible at this time to predict the full economic impact and the impact on our business. The COVID-19 pandemic and the disruption in the oil market is expected to lead to a significant reduction in the borrowing base under our Successor Revolving Credit Facility, a reduction in our reserves and may result in the recognition of impairment of our oil and natural gas properties. The COVID-19 pandemic may also impact the ability of our customers to continue to purchase our produced oil and natural gas at current levels due to increased supply and storage capacity shortages, which would reduce our future expected revenues and may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity. As the majority of our capital budget is comprised of operated properties in which we control the timing of capital expenditure activity, if the borrowing base reduction under our Successor Revolving Credit Facility is larger than expected we can and will defer a portion or all of our planned capital expenditures to a future date. Further, we have enacted cost reduction efforts and initiatives in both our operational activities as well as our general and administrative expenses in an attempt to improve our financial position, results of operations and liquidity. We continue to monitor and evaluate these and other developments with respect to market conditions for oil and natural gas and the COVID-19 pandemic, though we cannot guarantee that any measures we take in response thereto will be entirely effective or effective at all.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the "Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act" ("CARES ACT"). The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, that the CARES Act may have on the Company's future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2020.

Net Proved Oil, NGL and Natural Gas Reserves (Unaudited)

The proved oil, NGL and natural gas reserves of Legacy have been estimated by an independent petroleum engineer, LaRoche, as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. These reserve estimates have been prepared in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and accounting standards based on the 12-month unweighted first-day-of-the-month average price for December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

(a)We primarily report and account for our Permian Basin natural gas volumes inclusive of the NGL content in those natural gas volumes. Given the price disparity between an equivalent amount of NGLs compared to natural gas, Legacy's realized natural gas prices in the Permian Basin are substantially higher than NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas prices due to NGL content.

The primary drivers behind the changes to our proved reserves in each of 2017, 2018 and 2019 are described in more detail below.

2017: The increase in proved reserve quantities for the year ended December 31, 2017 was due primarily to the development of our unproved assets, the increase in average NYMEX-WTI oil and Henry Hub natural gas prices during 2017 which increased the economic life of our properties and the acquisition of producing oil and natural gas properties.

2018: The decrease in proved reserve quantities for the year ended December 31, 2018 was due primarily to production of the assets and sales of oil and natural gas properties partially offset by the development of our unproved assets during 2018.

2019: The decrease in proved reserve quantities for the year ended December 31, 2019 was due primarily to production of the assets, and the decrease in average NYMEX-WTI oil and Henry Hub natural gas prices during 2019 which decreased the economic life of our properties. This decrease was partially offset by the development of our unproved assets during 2019.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows and Changes Therein Relating to Proved Reserves (Unaudited)

Summarized in the following table is information for Legacy with respect to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved reserves. Future cash inflows are computed by applying the 12-month unweighted first-day-of-the-month average price for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. Future production, development, site restoration, and abandonment costs are derived based on current costs assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. Future net cash flows have not been adjusted for commodity derivative contracts outstanding at the end of each year. Future income taxes are calculated by comparing undiscounted future cash flows to the tax basis of oil and natural gas properties plus available carryforwards and credits and applying the current tax rates to the difference.

	December 31,
	2019		2018		2017
	(In thousands)
Future production revenues	$	3,330,687	$	5,093,812	$	4,657,406
Future costs:
Production	(1,743,636)		(2,453,520)		(2,347,759)
Development	(194,401)		(190,126)		(148,936)
Future income tax expense (a)	(133,394)		(238,940)		—
Future net cash flows before income taxes	1,259,256		2,211,226		2,160,711
10% annual discount for estimated timing of cash flows	(542,522)		(1,013,613)		(988,563)
Standardized measure of discounted net cash flows	$	716,734	$	1,197,613	$	1,172,148

____________________

(a)For the year ended December 31, 2017, federal income taxes were not deducted from future production revenues in the calculation of standardized measure as each partner was separately taxed on their share of Legacy's taxable income.

The standardized measure is based on the following oil and natural gas prices realized over the life of the properties at the wellhead as of the following dates:

	December 31,
	2019		2018		2017
Oil (per Bbl) (a)	$	55.69	$	65.56	$	47.79
Natural Gas (per MMBtu) (b)	$	2.58	$	3.10	$	2.98

____________________

(a)The quoted oil price for all fiscal years is the 12-month unweighted average first-day-of-the-month West Texas Intermediate price, as posted by Plains Marketing, L.P., for each month of 2019, 2018 and 2017.

(a)The quoted gas price for all fiscal years is the 12-month unweighted average first-day-of-the-month Henry Hub price, as posted by Platts Gas Daily, for each month of 2019, 2018 and 2017.

The following table summarizes the principal sources of change in the standardized measure of discounted future estimated net cash flows:

	Year ended December 31,
	2019		2018		2017
	(In thousands)
Increase (decrease):
Sales, net of production costs	$	(239,692)	$	(325,044)	$	(233,257)
Net change in sales prices, net of production costs	(328,698)		194,100		310,206
Changes in estimated future development costs	(737)		(8,109)		(591)
Revisions of previous estimates due to infill drilling,
recompletions and stimulations	—		284,354		135,700
Revisions of previous quantity estimates due to performance	(199,292)		(81,337)		89,941
Previously estimated development costs incurred	—		43,061		16,328
Purchases of minerals-in-place	—		1,315		206,038
Sales of minerals-in-place	(1,850)		(43,657)		(2,861)
Ownership interest changes	88,103		2,492		14,533
Other	3,389		(776)		5,534
Accretion of discount	134,997		111,427		54,951
Future income tax expense	62,901		(152,361)		—
Net increase (decrease)	(480,879)		25,465		596,522
Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows:
Beginning of year	1,197,613		1,172,148		575,626
End of year	$	716,734	$	1,197,613	$	1,172,148

The data presented should not be viewed as representing the expected cash flow from or current value of, existing proved reserves since the computations are based on a large number of estimates and arbitrary assumptions. Reserve quantities cannot be measured with precision and their estimation requires many judgmental determinations and frequent revisions. Actual future prices and costs are likely to be substantially different from the current prices and costs utilized in the computation of reported amounts.
