Notes to unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
NOTE 1 – Basis of pro forma presentation
The pro forma financial statements have been derived from the historical financial statements of Crescent and statements of revenues and direct operating expenses for the Uinta Basin Assets. Additionally, the pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 has been derived from certain pro forma financial statements included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 8, 2022. The pro forma statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021 give effect to the Uinta Acquisition as if it occurred on January 1, 2021.
The statements of revenues and direct operating expenses for the Uinta Basin Assets, which are being presented in accordance with Article 3-05 of Regulation S-X, represent abbreviated financial statements that include less information about the historical business associated with the Uinta Basin Assets or about our current and future results as the owner of the Uinta Basin Assets than full financial statements. For example, the statements of revenues and direct operating expenses do not include information about capital structure, interest expense, entity-level taxes, or depreciation, depletion and amortization.
The pro forma financial statements reflect pro forma adjustments that are based on available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, actual results may differ from those reflected in these statements. In management’s opinion, all adjustments known to date that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma information have been made. The pro forma financial statements do not purport to represent what the combined entity’s results of operations would have been if the Uinta Acquisition had actually occurred on the date indicated above, nor are they indicative of Crescent’s future results of operations.
These pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with Crescent’s historical financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K, respectively.
NOTE 2 – Purchase price allocation
In March 2022, Crescent consummated the acquisition contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Crescent purchased all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Javelin Uinta, LLC, a Texas limited liability company that holds the Uinta Basin Assets. Upon closing of the Uinta Acquisition, Crescent paid $621.3 million in cash consideration and transaction fees and assumed certain commodity derivatives. The Uinta Acquisition was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under Crescent’s Revolving Credit Facility. The Uinta Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition, with Crescent recording $852.5 million of property, plant and equipment, net of acquired commodity derivative liabilities of $179.7 million, accounts payable of $14.3 million and asset retirement liability of $37.2 million.
NOTE 3 – Adjustments to the pro forma financial statement
The pro forma financial statements have been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Uinta Acquisition and have been prepared for informational purposes only.

Management has elected not to disclose Management Adjustments.
The pro forma provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had the combined company filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.
