EXPLANATORY NOTE

Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. (“Granite Ridge” or the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A to amend and restate in their entirety the following items of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2022 (the “Original Form 10-Q”): (i) Item 1 of Part I “Financial Information,” (ii) Item 2 of Part I, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” (iii) Item 4 of Part I, “Controls and Procedures,” (iv) Item 1A of Part II, “Risk Factors,” and (v) Item 6 of Part II, “Exhibits,” and we have also updated the signature page, the certifications of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in Exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 32, and the Company’s financial statements formatted in Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) in Exhibits 101. No other sections were affected, but for the convenience of the reader, this report on Form 10-Q/A restates in its entirety, as amended, our Original Form 10-Q. This report on Form 10-Q/A is presented as of the filing date of the Original Form 10-Q and does not reflect events occurring after that date, or modify or update disclosures in any way other than as required to reflect the restatement described below.

The financial statements covered in the Original Form 10-Q and this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A presented the financial condition and results of operations of Granite Ridge’s predecessor, Grey Rock Energy Fund III-A, LP and its subsidiaries, Grey Rock Energy Fund III-B, LP, Grey Rock Energy Fund III-B Holdings, L.P. and its subsidiaries, and Grey Rock Preferred Limited Partner III, L.P. (collectively, “Grey Rock Energy Fund III” or the “Predecessor”), which operated the majority of the historical business and was identified as the acquirer and predecessor upon consummation of the business combination on October 24, 2022.

Granite Ridge did not conduct any activity prior to the business combination and the Predecessor became a subsidiary of Granite Ridge upon closing of the various formation transactions completed concurrently with the business combination. The information provided in the Original Form 10-Q and this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A only reflects the financial condition and results of operations of the Predecessor as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Because the business combination was completed subsequent to the end of the period covered by the Original Form 10-Q and this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A, the information provided herein regarding the Predecessor does not include financial or other information regarding the other entities who were parties to the business combination or whose assets became part of the business combination, including Executive Network Partnering Corporation, Grey Rock Energy Fund, LP and its subsidiaries, Grey Rock Energy Fund II, L.P. and its subsidiaries, Grey Rock Energy Fund II-B, LP, Grey Rock Energy Fund II-B Holdings, L.P. and its subsidiaries, and Grey Rock Preferred Limited Partner II, L.P. The condensed combined financial data for the Predecessor is not necessarily indicative of Granite Ridge’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position following the completion of the business combination and related formation transactions

The Company discovered errors in the depletion calculation and that certain acquisitions, initially classified as acquisitions of proved oil and natural gas properties, should have been classified as unproved oil and natural gas properties which overstated depletion expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. As a result of these errors, on March 6, 2023, the Company filed a report on Form 8-K indicating that the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has concluded that the financial statements included in the Original Form 10-Q should no longer be relied upon.

To correct the errors, the Company is hereby restating the previously issued unaudited condensed combined financial statements of the Predecessor as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, as filed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on November 14, 2022.

Table of Contents

For additional details, see Note 2 to the Notes to Condensed Combined Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q/A.

The Company has also concluded there was a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2022. See additional discussion included in Part II Item 1A of this amended quarterly report.

2.Summary of significant accounting policies

Principles of Combination

The accompanying condensed combined financial statements include the accounts of Grey Rock III-A, Grey Rock III-B Holdings, Grey Rock III-B and Grey Rock PLP III all of which share common ownership and management. All inter-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in combination.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from the audited combined financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed combined financial statements as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, provided herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC’s”) Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC. However, in the Partnership’s opinion, the disclosures made therein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Partnership believes these condensed combined financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the results of the interim periods. The condensed combined statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the condensed

combined results of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the combined statements of income and results of cash flows that might be expected for the entire year. These condensed combined financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Partnership operates in a single operating and reportable segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Partnership’s chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance based upon financial information at the Partnership level.

Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Combined Financial Statements

On November 14, 2022, Granite Ridge filed a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflecting the financial condition and results of operations of Fund III as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Fund III operated the majority of the historical business and was identified as the acquirer and Predecessor upon consummation of the business combination on October 24, 2022. Since the business combination was completed subsequent to the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, the information provided regarding the Predecessor did not include financial or other information regarding the other entities who were parties to the business combination or whose assets became part of the business combination.

In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company identified errors in its previously filed unaudited condensed combined financial statements of the Predecessor as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company discovered errors in the depletion calculation and that certain acquisitions, initially classified as acquisitions of proved oil and natural gas properties, should have been classified as unproved oil and natural gas properties which overstated depletion expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Depletion expense for Fund III was overstated by $14.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

In connection with these errors, the Company is restating the previously issued unaudited condensed combined financial statements of the Predecessor as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, as filed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on November 14, 2022. The restatement does not impact the Company’s current or historical reported revenue, liquidity, cash and cash equivalents or cash flows from (used in) operating, investing or financing activities.

The Company’s financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 included in this Form 10-Q/A have been restated to correct the errors as follows:

Fair Value

The Partnership has adopted and follows Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for measurement and disclosures about fair value. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs (other than quoted market prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

Level 3 — Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Valuation of instruments includes unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

(UNAUDITED) Continued

As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, which was further clarified as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“an exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying amounts of the Partnership’s financial assets and liabilities, such as due from related parties, revenue receivable, related party payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Revenue Receivable

Revenue receivable is comprised of accrued natural gas and crude oil sales. The operators remit payment for production directly to the Partnership. There have been no credit losses to date. In the event of complete non-performance by the Partnership’s customers, the maximum exposure to the Partnership is the outstanding revenue receivable balance at the date of non-performance. The Partnership writes off specific accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Partnership had no bad debt expense, and did not record an allowance for doubtful accounts.

Other Assets

Other assets are comprised of payments made in advance for services deemed to have future value to the Partnership and fees that were capitalized in connection to the Business Combination. Capitalized fees were $4,098 thousand and zero as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Prepaid expenses were zero and $70 thousand as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Partnership’s revenues are primarily derived from its interests in the sale of oil and natural gas production. The Partnership recognizes revenue from its interests in the sales of oil and natural gas in the period that its performance obligations are satisfied.

Performance obligations are satisfied when the customer obtains control of product and when the Partnership has no further obligations to perform related to the sale. The Partnership receives payment from the sale of oil and natural gas production from one to three months after delivery. The transaction price is variable as it is based on market prices for oil and natural gas, less revenue deductions such as gathering, transportation and compression costs. Management has determined that the variable revenue constraint is overcome at the date control passes to the customer since the variable consideration to be received can be reasonably estimated based on daily market prices and historical transportation charges. At the end of each month, amounts due from customers are accrued in revenue receivable in the balance sheets. Variances between the Partnership’s estimated revenue and actual payments are recorded in the month the payment is received; however, differences have been and are insignificant.

The Partnership does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations under its contracts with customers as it applies the practical expedient in accordance with ASC 606. The expedient, as described in ASC 606-10-50-14(a), applies to variable consideration that is recognized as control of the product is transferred to the customer. Since each unit of product represents a separate performance obligation, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.

A wellhead imbalance liability equal to the Partnership’s share is recorded to the extent that the Partnership’s well operators have sold volumes in excess of its share of remaining reserves in an underlying property. However, in each of the three

and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Partnership’s oil and natural gas production was in balance, meaning its cumulative portion of oil and natural gas production taken and sold from wells in which it has an interest equaled its entitled interest in oil and natural gas production from those wells.

Non-operated crude oil and natural gas revenues – The Partnership’s proportionate share of production from non-operated properties is generally marketed at the discretion of the operators. For non-operated properties, the Partnership receives a net payment from the operator representing its proportionate share of sales proceeds which is net of transportation and production tax costs incurred by the operator, if any. Such non-operated revenues are recognized at the net of transportation costs which is the amount of proceeds to be received by the Partnership during the month in which production occurs and it is probable the Partnership will collect the consideration it is entitled to receive. Proceeds are generally received by the Partnership within one to three months after the month in which production occurs. The Partnership’s disaggregated revenue has two revenue sources, which are oil sales, and natural gas and NGL sales. Oil sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $61,607 thousand and $40,376 thousand, respectively. Natural gas and NGL sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $28,587 thousand and $15,341 thousand, respectively. Oil sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $197,332 thousand and $104,700 thousand, respectively. Natural gas and NGL sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $65,931 thousand and $37,932 thousand, respectively.

Substantially all of the Partnership’s oil and natural gas sales currently come from four geographic areas in the United States: the Eagle Ford Basin (Texas), the Permian Basin (Texas), the Denver-Julesburg “DJ” Basin (Colorado) and the Bakken Basin (Montana/North Dakota). The following tables present the disaggregation of the Partnership’s oil revenues and natural gas and NGL revenues by basin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Income Taxes

Because the Partnership is a limited partnership, the income or loss of the Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes is generally allocated to the partners in accordance with the Partnership’s formation documents, and it is the responsibility of the partners to report their share of taxable income or loss on their separate income tax returns.

(PREDECESSOR TO GRANITE RIDGE RESOURCES, INC.)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

Accordingly, no recognition has been given to federal or state income taxes in the accompanying condensed combined financial statements.

The Partnership is required to determine whether its tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. De-recognition of a tax benefit previously recognized results in the Partnership recording a tax liability that reduces ending partners’ capital. Based on its analysis, the Partnership has determined that it has not incurred any liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. However, the Partnership’s conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

The Partnership recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and other expenses, respectively. No interest or penalties were recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

The Partnership files an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and may file income tax returns in various U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions. Generally, the Partnership is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities during the period since inception.

The Partnership may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, U.S. states or foreign jurisdiction authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax laws. The Partnership’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed combined financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates of reserves are used to determine depletion and to conduct impairment analysis. Estimating reserves is inherently uncertain, including the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Additional significant estimates include impairment testing, derivative instruments and hedging activity, and asset retirement obligations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued and Applicable Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” which requires all leases greater than one year to be recognized as assets and liabilities. This ASU also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. Oil and gas leases are excluded from the guidance. The Partnership adopted this ASU on January 1, 2022, and there was no material impacts to the condensed combined financial statements.

The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” which introduces guidance for estimating credit losses on certain types of financial

instruments based on expected losses and the timing of the recognition of such losses. This guidance becomes effective beginning on January 1, 2023, however, the impact is not expected to be material.

3.Derivative instruments

From time to time, the Partnership may utilize derivative contracts in connection with its oil and natural gas operations to provide an economic hedge of the Partnership’s exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil and natural gas production. The Partnership does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. These derivative contracts consist of fixed price collar options and producer 3-way option contracts. The Partnership typically hedges approximately 50% to 75% of expected oil and natural gas production from the underlying entities for 12 to 24 months in the future. The Partnership’s derivative activities and exposure to derivative contracts are classified by the following primary underlying risk of commodity prices. In addition to its primary underlying risk, the Partnership is also subject to additional counterparty risk due to the inability of its counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Derivative Contracts

The Partnership has not designated its derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes. Cash and non-cash changes in fair value are included in gain or loss on derivative contracts in the condensed combined statements of income. Derivative assets are included within current and noncurrent assets in the condensed combined balance sheets as of September 30, 2022. Derivative liabilities are included within current liabilities in the condensed combined balance sheets as of September 30, 2022. Derivative assets and liabilities are included within current and noncurrent liabilities in the condensed combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2021.

Collar and Producer 3-way Option Contracts

A collar option is established with the sale of a short call option and the purchase of a long put option set to expire at a predetermined date in the future. The options give the owner the right but not the obligation to exercise the option at the expiration date.

A producer 3-way contract, like a collar option, is established with the sale of a short call option and the purchase of a long put option set to expire at a predetermined date in the future. However, the producer 3-way contract also includes the sale of a short put option set to expire at a predetermined date in the future. The options give the owner the right but not the obligation to exercise the option at the expiration date.

The fair value of open collar options and producer 3-way contracts reported in the condensed combined balance sheets may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Partnership terminated its position in the contract. Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the option contract to comply with the terms of the option contract. The loss incurred by the failure of counterparties is generally limited to the aggregate fair value of option contracts in an unrealized gain position as well as any collateral posted with the counterparty.

The Partnership considers the creditworthiness of each counterparty to an option contract in evaluating potential credit risk. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in the fair value of the underlying investments.

The Partnership has master netting agreements on individual derivative instruments with certain counterparties and therefore certain amounts may be presented on a net basis in the condensed combined balance sheets.

4.Fair value measurements

Fair Values – Recurring

As required, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Partnership’s assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The following table presents information about the Partnership’s recurring assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of September 30, 2022:


							September 30,
(in thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		2022
Assets (at fair value):
Derivative contracts	$	—	$	5,188	$	—	$	5,188
Liabilities (at fair value):
Derivative contracts	$	—	$	(3,941)	$	—	$	(3,941)

The following table presents information about the Partnership’s recurring liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2021:


							December 31,
(in thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		2021
Liabilities (at fair value):
Derivative contracts	$	—	$	(4,353)	$	—	$	(4,353)

The following table provides the fair value of financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value in the condensed combined balance sheets:


	September 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
(in thousands)	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Liabilities (at fair value):
Revolving Credit Facility	$	—	$	—	$	29,938	$	29,938

The recorded value of the revolving credit facility approximates its fair value because of its floating rate structure based on the Prime Rate spread. The fair value measurement for the revolving credit facility represents Level 2 inputs.

Fair Values - Non Recurring

The fair value measurements of asset retirement obligations are measured on a nonrecurring basis when a well is drilled or acquired or when production equipment and facilities are installed or acquired using a discounted cash flow model based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. Significant inputs to the fair value measurement of asset retirement obligations include estimates of the costs of plugging and abandoning oil and natural gas wells, removing production equipment and facilities and restoring the surface of the land as well as estimates of the economic lives of the oil and natural gas wells and future inflation rates. Asset retirement obligations incurred and acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were approximately $633 thousand.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

(UNAUDITED) Continued

The reallocation to the general partner from the limited partners was approximately $6,654 thousand and $25,623 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The reallocation to the general partner from the limited partners was approximately $12,856 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The allocation of carried interest will remain provisional until the final liquidation of the Partnership.

Distributions

In accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement (“LPA”), all distributions shall be made, at such times and in such amounts as determined in the sole discretion of the General Partner, to the partners in proportion to their Partnership percentage interests. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Partnership did not make any distributions.

7.Related party transactions

The Partnership pays an annual management fee to the Management Company, an entity under common control, as compensation for providing managerial services to the Partnership. The management fee will accrue beginning on the initial closing date of the Partnership and will be payable to the Management Company quarterly, in advance, calculated as of the first day of each fiscal quarter and prorated appropriately for partial quarters. Limited partners will be assessed one and one-half (1.5%) per annum of such limited partner’s aggregate capital commitment. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, management fees were $919 thousand and $969 thousand, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, management fees were $2,808 thousand and $2,908 thousand, respectively. Management fees are included in general and administrative fees on the accompanying condensed combined statements of income.

As of September 30, 2022, the Partnership did not have any related party payables with the Management Company. As of December 31, 2021, the Partnership had a related party payable with the Management Company for organizational expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership of $8 thousand, respectively, that was included in accrued expenses on the accompanying condensed combined balance sheets.

8.Commitments and contingencies

The Partnership is subject to various possible contingencies that arise primarily from interpretation of federal and state laws and regulations affecting the oil and natural gas industry. Such contingencies include differing interpretations as to the prices at which oil and natural gas sales may be made, the prices at which royalty owners may be paid for production from their leases, environmental issues, and other matters. Although management believes that it has complied with the various laws and regulations, administrative rulings, and interpretations thereof, adjustments could be required as new interpretations and regulations are issued. In addition, environmental matters are subject to regulation by various federal and state agencies. The Partnership is currently not a party to any material pending legal proceedings that would give rise to potential loss contingencies.

As of September 30, 2022, the Partnership had incurred approximately $15,757 thousand in capital expenditures that were included in accounts payable, and the Partnership estimates that it is committed to an additional approximately $50,000 thousand in development capital expenditures not yet incurred for wells the Partnership elected to participate in.

9.Credit facility

Since 2018, the Partnership has maintained a revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with a borrowing capacity of $100,000 thousand, of which, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $0 and $30,000 thousand was outstanding, respectively.

The Facility is collateralized by all of the Partnership’s oil and natural gas properties and requires compliance with certain financial covenants. As of September 30, 2022, the Partnership, was in compliance with all covenants required by the Facility. Further, the Partnership did not have any unamortized loan origination costs as of September 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, the Partnership had unamortized loan origination costs of $62 thousand.

Additionally, the Facility bears interest at an annual base rate of the Prime Rate minus an acceptable margin of 0.50%. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31 2021, the weighted average interest rate on borrowed amounts was approximately 4.47% and 3.35%, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, the Partnership repaid amounts outstanding under the Facility and the Facility was terminated on October 24, 2022 in connection with the closing of the Business Combination and Granite Ridge’s entry into a new credit facility.

10.Risk concentrations

As a non-operator, 100% of the Partnership’s wells are operated by third-party operating partners. As a result, the Partnership is highly dependent on the success of these third-party operators. If they are not successful in the development, exploitation, production and exploration activities relating to the Partnership’s leasehold interests, or are unable or unwilling to perform, the Partnership’s financial condition and results of operation could be adversely affected. These risks are heightened in a low commodity price environment, which may present significant challenges to these third-party operators. The Partnership’s third-party operators will make decisions in connection with their operations that may not be in the Partnership’s best interests, and the Partnership may have little or no ability to exercise influence over the operational decisions of its third-party operators.

In the normal course of business, the Partnership maintains its cash balances in financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Partnership is subject to credit risk to the extent any financial institution with which it conducts business is unable to fulfill contractual obligations on its behalf. Management monitors the financial condition of such financial institutions and does not anticipate any losses from these counterparties. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus and the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine continue to significantly impact the worldwide economy and specific economic sectors. As a result, commodity prices remain volatile, which may impact the Partnership’s performance and may lead to future losses.

11.Subsequent events

In connection with preparing the condensed combined financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date November 14, 2022, which is the date the condensed combined financial statements were available to be issued.

(UNAUDITED) Continued

As discussed in Note 1—Nature of Operations, on May 16, 2022, GREP entered into a business combination agreement with ENPC, a NYSE publicly traded special purpose acquisition company and Granite Ridge. The Business Combination closed on October 24, 2022 as a result of which GREP and ENPC became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Granite Ridge. Granite Ridge’s common stock and warrants are listed on the NYSE. Refer to Note 1 for additional information.

On October 24, 2022, Granite Ridge entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among Granite Ridge, as borrower, Texas Capital Bank, as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of five years from the effective date thereof.

The Credit Agreement provides for aggregate elected commitments of $150.0 million, an initial borrowing base of $325.0 million and an aggregate maximum revolving credit amount of $1,000.0 million. The borrowing base is scheduled to be redetermined semiannually on or about April 1 and October 1 of each calendar year, commencing April 1, 2023, and is subject to additional adjustments from time to time, including for asset sales, elimination or reduction of hedge positions and incurrence of other debt. Additionally, the borrower and each of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) may request one unscheduled redetermination of the borrowing base between each scheduled redetermination. The amount of the borrowing base is determined by the lenders in their sole discretion and consistent with the oil and gas lending criteria of the lenders at the time of the relevant redetermination. The amount Granite Ridge is able to borrow under the Credit Agreement is subject to compliance with the financial covenants, satisfaction of various conditions precedent to borrowing and other provisions of the Credit Agreement. Granite Ridge does not have any borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement, resulting in availability of $150.0 million. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the restricted subsidiaries of Granite Ridge and is secured by a first priority mortgage and security interest in substantially all assets of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries.

In conjunction with the Credit Agreement, on October 24, 2022, all derivative contracts outstanding with GREP were novated to Granite Ridge.

Granite Ridge’s board of directors recently declared a dividend of $0.08 per share of Granite Ridge’s common stock. The dividend is payable on December 15, 2022 to stockholders of record on December 1, 2022. This dividend payout is aligned with Granite Ridge’s intent to pay a minimum dividend of $60 million per year to its shareholders, which would currently equate to $0.45 per share annually or an approximate five percent dividend yield. The initial common dividend was prorated to October 24, 2022, the effective date of Granite Ridge’s business combination, which equaled $0.08 per common share for the quarter.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed combined financial statements and accompanying notes to condensed combined financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview

We hold strategic investments in non-operated working interests in diversified upstream oil and natural gas assets in North America. As a non-operator, we have been able to diversify our investment exposure by participating in a large number of gross wells, as well as entering into additional project areas by partnering with numerous experienced operating partners that utilize the latest completion techniques in core unconventional basins across the United States.

We have achieved capital appreciation through our assets and earned income through investments, directly or indirectly, through our special purpose subsidiaries, in non-operated working interests in diversified upstream oil and natural gas assets in North America.

Pursuant to our investment strategies, Fund III collectively participated in 977 gross (58 net) producing wells as of September 30, 2022 with a core focus in the premier basins within the United States. As of December 31, 2021, Fund III collectively participated in 862 gross (46 net) producing wells. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Fund III leased approximately 43,857 gross (8,903 net) and 35,378 gross (7,039 net) developed acres, and 16,083 gross (6,109 net) and 18,488 gross (6,272 net) undeveloped acres, respectively, all located in the United States.

Table of Contents

Fund III’s average daily production for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 12,259 Boe and 11,615 Boe per day, respectively. The increase in production is consistent with our increase in net producing wells which increased to 58 wells as of September 30, 2022, up from 46 as of the end of 2021. During 2021, our wells increased from 17 net wells at the beginning of 2021 to 46 net wells at the end of 2021. The increase in wells was primarily driven by Fund III’s acquisition of additional wells during the first nine months of 2022 and throughout 2021.

Business Combination

Fund III and certain other funds affiliated with Grey Rock formed GREP Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GREP”), who entered into a business combination agreement (“BCA”) on May 16, 2022 with Executive Network Partnering Corporation (“ENPC”), a Delaware corporation and New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, Granite Ridge Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Granite Ridge”), ENPC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Ridge (“ENPC Merger Sub”), and GREP Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Ridge (“GREP Merger Sub”), pursuant to which (i) ENPC Merger Sub merged with and into ENPC (the “ENPC Merger”), with ENPC surviving the ENPC Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Ridge and (ii) GREP Merger Sub merged with and into GREP (the “GREP Merger”), with GREP surviving the GREP Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Ridge (the transactions contemplated by the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) the “Business Combination”). The BCA provided that in connection with the Business Combination the members of GREP would receive common stock of Granite Ridge in the business combination, valued at approximately $1.3 billion on May 16, 2022 upon execution of the BCA. The Business Combination closed on October 24, 2022. Granite Ridge is listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “GRNT”. To the extent any of the financial data included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A is as of a date or from a period prior to the consummation of our Business Combination, such financial data is that of Fund III, the Predecessor. The financial data for the Predecessor for such periods does not reflect the material changes to the business as a result of the Business Combination. Accordingly, the financial data for the Predecessor is not necessarily indicative of our results of operations, cash flows or financial position following the completion of the Business Combination.

Impacts of COVID-19 Pandemic and Geopolitical Factors

The global spread of COVID-19 since early 2020 has created significant market volatility and economic uncertainty and disruption. The virus created unprecedented challenges for our industry, including a drastic decline in demand for crude oil and natural gas. This, combined with OPEC actions in early 2020, led to spot and future prices of crude oil falling to historic lows during the second quarter of 2020 and remaining depressed through much of 2020. Conditions have significantly improved with the increase in domestic vaccination programs and reduced spread of the COVID-19 virus overall, which have contributed to an improvement in the economy and higher realized prices for commodities since the beginning of 2021. However, the current price environment remains uncertain as responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and newly emerging variants of the virus continue evolve, as do operators’ production decisions in response to these macroeconomic factors. It remains difficult to predict how long the COVID-19 pandemic and related market conditions will persist and the resulting future effects on our business. While we use derivative instruments to partially mitigate the impact of commodity price volatility on revenues, our revenues and operating results depend significantly upon the prevailing prices for oil and natural gas. In addition, because our property interests are not operated by us, we have limited ability to influence or control the future development of such properties. In light of the current price and economic environment, we continue to be proactive with third-party operators to review spending and alter plans as appropriate. We currently expect that our cash flow from operations and borrowing availability under our credit facilities will allow us to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months.

In addition to the global COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the start of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. On February 24, 2022, a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops began. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, the conflict in Ukraine has led to market disruptions, including significant

Table of Contents

volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain disruptions. Various of Russia’s actions have led to sanctions and other penalties being levied by the U.S., the European Union, and other countries, as well as other public and private actors and companies, against Russia and certain other geographic areas, including restrictions on imports of Russian oil, liquefied natural gas and coal. Additional potential sanctions and penalties have also been proposed and/or threatened. These disruptions in the oil and gas markets have caused, and could continue to cause, significant volatility in energy prices, which could have a material effect on our business.

In addition, the United States and other countries have imposed sanctions on Russia which increases the risk that Russia, as a retaliatory action, may launch cyberattacks against the United States, its government, infrastructure and businesses. On March 21, 2022, the Biden Administration issued warnings about the potential for Russia to engage in malicious cyber activity against the United States in response to the economic sanctions that have been imposed. Prolonged unfavorable economic conditions or uncertainty as a result of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Initiatives

We are committed to developing industry-leading ESG programs and continually improving our ESG performance. We view exceptional ESG performance as an opportunity to differentiate us from our peers, provide for increased access to capital markets, mitigate risks and strengthen operational performance as well as benefit our stakeholders and the communities in which we operate.

Source of Our Revenues

We derive our revenues from our interests in the sale of oil and natural gas production. Revenues are a function of production, the prevailing market price at the time of sale, oil quality, and transportation costs to market. We use derivative instruments to hedge future sales prices on a substantial, but varying, portion of our oil and natural gas production. We expect our derivative activities will help us achieve more predictable cash flows and reduce our exposure to downward price fluctuations. The use of derivative instruments has in the past, and may in the future, prevent us from realizing the full benefit of upward price movements but also mitigates the effects of declining price movements.

Principal Components of Our Cost Structure

Lease operating expenses

Lease operating expenses are the costs incurred in the operation of producing properties, including workover costs. Expenses for field employees’ salaries, saltwater disposal, ad valorem taxes, repairs and maintenance comprise the most significant portion of our lease operating expenses. Certain items, such as direct labor and materials and supplies, generally remain relatively fixed across broad production volume ranges, but can fluctuate depending on activities performed during a specific period. A portion of our operating cost components are variable and change in correlation to production levels.

Production taxes

Production taxes are paid on produced oil and natural gas which is generated in Texas, Oklahoma, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Louisiana and Colorado. We seek to take full advantage of all credits and exemptions in our various taxing jurisdictions. In general, the production taxes we pay correlate to the changes in oil and natural gas revenues.

Depletion and accretion expense

Depletion and accretion include the systematic expensing of the capitalized costs incurred to acquire, explore and develop oil and natural gas. As a “successful efforts” company, we capitalize all costs associated with our acquisition and successful

Table of Contents

development efforts and allocate these costs to each unit of production using the units of production method. Accretion expense relates to the passage of time of our asset retirement obligations.

Impairment expense

We evaluate capitalized costs related to proved oil properties, including wells and related oil sales support equipment and facilities, for impairment on an annual basis. If undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the net capitalized costs, we recognize an impairment charge for the difference between the net capitalized cost of proved properties and their estimated fair values.

Unproved oil and natural gas properties are periodically assessed for impairment by considering future drilling and exploration plans, results of exploration activities, commodity price outlooks, planned future sales and expiration of all or a portion of the project.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses include overhead, including payroll and benefits for our corporate staff, costs of maintaining our headquarters, costs of managing our acquisition and development operations, management fees, audit and other professional fees and legal compliance.

Interest expense

We finance a portion of our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and acquisitions with borrowings. As a result, we incur interest expense that is affected by both fluctuations in interest rates and our financing decisions.

Gain (loss) on derivative contracts

We utilize commodity derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in the prices of oil and gas. Gain (loss) on derivative contracts is comprised of (i) cash gains and losses we recognize on settled commodity derivatives during the period, and (ii) non-cash mark-to-market gains and losses we incur on commodity derivative instruments outstanding at period-end.

Selected Factors That Affect Our Operating Results

Our revenues, cash flows from operations and future growth depend substantially upon;

●

the timing and success of drilling and production activities by our operating partners;

●

the prices and the supply and demand for oil and natural gas;

●

the quantity of oil and natural gas production from the wells in which we participate;

●

changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments we use to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in the price of oil and natural gas;

●

our ability to continue to identify and acquire high-quality acreage and drilling opportunities; and

●

the level of our operating expenses.

Table of Contents

In addition to the factors that affect companies in our industry generally, the location of substantially all of our acreage in the Eagle Ford, Permian, Bakken, Haynesville and Denver-Julesburg Basins subjects our operating results to factors specific to these regions. These factors include the potential adverse impact of weather on drilling, production and transportation activities, particularly during the winter and spring months, as well as infrastructure limitations, transportation capacity, regulatory matters and other factors that may specifically affect one or more of these regions.

The price of oil and natural gas can vary depending on the market in which it is sold and the means of transportation used to transport the oil and natural gas to market.

The price at which our oil and natural gas production are sold typically reflects either a premium or discount to the NYMEX benchmark price. Thus, our operating results are also affected by changes in the oil and natural gas price differentials between the applicable benchmark and the sales prices we receive for our oil and natural gas production. Our oil price differential to the NYMEX benchmark price during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $(2.23) and $(1.52) per barrel, respectively, as compared to $(1.52) and $(5.14) per barrel in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Our natural gas price differential during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $3.24 and $3.33 per Mcf, as compared to $2.15 and $2.43 per Mcf in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Market Conditions

The price that we receive for the oil and natural gas we produce is largely a function of market supply and demand. Because our oil and natural gas revenues are heavily weighted toward oil, we are more significantly impacted by changes in oil prices than by changes in the price of natural gas. World-wide supply in terms of output, especially production from properties within the United States, the production quota set by OPEC, and the strength of the U.S. dollar can adversely impact oil prices. Historically, commodity prices have been volatile and we expect the volatility to continue in the future. Factors impacting the future oil supply balance are world-wide demand for oil, as well as the growth in domestic oil production.

Prices for various quantities of natural gas and oil that we produce significantly impact our revenues and cash flows. The following table lists average NYMEX prices for oil and natural gas for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.


	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Average NYMEX Prices (1)
Oil (per Bbl)	$	93.18	$	70.51	$	98.24	$	64.99
Natural gas (per Mcf)		7.95		4.32		6.70		3.35

(1)	Based on average NYMEX closing and spot prices.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the average NYMEX oil pricing was $93.18 per barrel of oil or 32% higher than the average NYMEX price per barrel for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Our settled derivatives decreased our realized oil price per barrel by $7.34 in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and $3.97 in the three months ended September 31, 2021. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, our average realized oil price per barrel after reflecting settled derivatives was $83.61 compared to $65.02 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The average NYMEX natural gas pricing for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $7.95 per Mcf, or 84% higher than the average NYMEX price per Mcf for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Our settled derivatives decreased our realized natural gas price per Mcf by $1.71 and $0.69 in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, our realized gas price per Mcf was $9.48 compared to $5.78 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was primarily driven by higher NYMEX pricing for natural gas and gas realizations.

Table of Contents

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the average NYMEX oil pricing was $98.24 per barrel of oil or 51% higher than the average NYMEX price per barrel for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our settled derivatives decreased our realized oil price per barrel by $7.54 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and by $1.48 in the nine months ended September 31, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our average realized oil price per barrel after reflecting settled derivatives was $89.18 compared to $58.37 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The average NYMEX natural gas pricing for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $6.70 per Mcf, or 100% higher than the average NYMEX price per Mcf for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our settled derivatives decreased our realized natural gas price per Mcf by $1.42 and $0.69 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our realized gas price per Mcf was $8.61 compared to $5.09 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was primarily driven by higher NYMEX pricing for natural gas and gas realizations.

Oil, Natural Gas and Related Product Sales

Our revenues vary from year to year primarily as a result of changes in realized commodity prices and production volumes. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, our oil and natural gas sales increased 62% from the three months ended September 30, 2021, driven by a 13% increase in production volumes and a 44% increase in realized prices, excluding the effect of settled commodity derivatives. The higher average price in the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 was driven by higher average NYMEX oil and natural gas prices.

Table of Contents

Production for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is set forth in the following table:


	Three months ended September 30,
	2022		2021
Production:

(1)	Natural gas is converted to Boe at the rate of one barrel equals six Mcf based upon the approximate relative energy content of oil and natural gas, which is not necessarily indicative of the relationship of oil and natural gas prices.

Lease Operating Expenses

Lease operating expenses were approximately $6,368 thousand and $3,621 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. On a per unit basis, production expenses increased 56% from $3.69 per Boe for the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $5.77 per Boe for the three months ended September 30, 2022, due primarily to gas processing fees in the Permian Basin and an increase in commodity prices. On an absolute dollar basis, the 76% increase in our production related expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to a 56% increase in per unit costs and a 13% increase in production.

Production Taxes

We pay production taxes based on realized oil and natural gas sales. Production taxes were $5,053 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $2,506 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021. As a percentage of oil and natural gas sales, our production taxes were 6% and 4% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Production taxes as a percent of total oil and natural gas sales are consistent with historical trend.

Depletion and Accretion

Depletion and accretion was approximately $25,786 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $15,794 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Depletion and accretion was $23.38 per Boe for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $16.11 per Boe for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Aggregate depletion and accretion expense increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, which is consistent with the increase in production levels. The aggregate increase in depletion and accretion expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 was driven by the 45% increase in the depletion and accretion rate per Boe and a 13% increase in production levels, respectively.

Table of Contents

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were approximately $1,776 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $1,764 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. General and administrative fees remained materially consistent period over period. General and administrative fees include management fees which were approximately $919 thousand and $969 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Management fees also remained materially consistent period over period.

Gain/(Loss) on Derivative Contracts

We enter into commodity derivatives instruments to manage the price risk attributable to future oil and natural gas production. We recorded a gain on derivative contracts of approximately $6,082 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a loss of $6,558 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Commodity price volatility during the three months ended September 30, 2022 resulted in realized losses of $9,331 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $3,959 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2021. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, unrealized gains were $15,413 thousand, compared to unrealized losses of $2,599 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2021. Our average three months ended September 30, 2022 realized oil price per barrel after reflecting settled derivatives was $83.61, compared to $65.02 in the three months ended September 30, 2021. Our settled derivatives decreased our realized oil price per barrel by $7.34 in the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $3.97 in the three months ended September 30, 2021. Our realized natural gas price per Mcf was $9.48 in the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $5.78 in the three months ended September 30, 2021. Our settled derivatives decreased our realized natural gas price per Mcf by $1.71 in the three months ended September 30, 2022, and $0.69 in the three months ended September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2022, we ended the period with a $1,247 thousand net derivative asset compared to a $4,353 thousand net derivative liability as of December 31, 2021.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was approximately $476 thousand and $353 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in the weighted average interest rate.

Oil, Natural Gas and Related Product Sales

Our revenues vary from year to year primarily as a result of changes in realized commodity prices and production volumes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our oil and natural gas sales increased 85% from the nine months ended September 30, 2021, driven by a 10% increase in production volumes and a 67% increase in realized prices, excluding the effect of settled commodity derivatives. The higher average price in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was driven by higher average NYMEX oil and natural gas prices.

Table of Contents

Realized production from oil and natural gas properties increases through drilling success and the acquisition of additional net revenue interests. Increases in production are offset by the natural decline of the production rate of existing oil and natural gas wells. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the number of wells we participated in increased by 36% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The new well additions drove the 10% increase in production in the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the first nine months of 2021.

Production for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is set forth in the following table:


	Nine months ended September 30,
	2022		2021
Production:
Oil (MBbl)		2,040		1,750
Natural gas (MMcf)		6,576		6,563

(1)	Natural gas is converted to Boe at the rate of one barrel equals six Mcf based upon the approximate relative energy content of oil and natural gas, which is not necessarily indicative of the relationship of oil and natural gas prices.

Lease Operating Expenses

Lease operating expenses were approximately $15,840 thousand and $8,407 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. On a per unit basis, production expenses increased 71% from $2.96 per Boe for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $5.05 per Boe for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, due primarily to gas processing fees in the Permian Basin and an increase in commodity prices. On an absolute dollar basis, the 88% increase in our production related expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to a 71% increase in per unit costs and a 10% increase in production.

Production Taxes

We pay production taxes based on realized oil and natural gas sales. Production taxes were $14,628 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $7,737 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. As a percentage of oil and natural gas sales, our production taxes were 6% and 5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Production taxes as a percent of total oil and natural gas sales are consistent with historical trend.

Depletion and Accretion

Depletion and accretion was approximately $56,447 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $45,798 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Depletion and accretion was $18.00 per Boe for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $16.11 per Boe for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Aggregate depletion and accretion expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which is consistent with production levels, which also increased period over period. The aggregate increase in depletion and accretion expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was driven by a 12% increase in the depletion and accretion rate per Boe and a 10% increase in production levels.

Table of Contents

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were approximately $4,880 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $4,978 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. General and administrative expense remained materially consistent for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. General and administrative fees include management fees which were approximately $2,808 thousand and $2,908 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Management fees also remained materially consistent period over period.

Gain/(Loss) on Derivative Contracts

We enter into commodity derivatives instruments to manage the price risk attributable to future oil and natural gas production. We recorded a loss on derivative contracts of approximately $19,147 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $18,115 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Volatility in commodity prices in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 resulted in realized losses of $24,747 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $7,105 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, unrealized gains were $5,600 thousand, compared to unrealized losses of $11,010 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our average nine months ended September 30, 2022 realized oil price per barrel after reflecting settled derivatives was $89.18, compared to $58.37 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our settled derivatives decreased our realized oil price per barrel by $7.54 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $1.48 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our realized natural gas price per Mcf was $8.61 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $5.09 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our settled derivatives decreased our realized natural gas price per Mcf by $1.42 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and $0.69 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. As of September 31, 2022, we ended the period with a $1,247 thousand net derivative asset compared to $4,353 thousand net derivative liability as of December 31, 2021.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was approximately $1,193 thousand and $926 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in the weighted average interest rate, partially offset by a larger outstanding balance on the credit facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources — Fund III

Nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2021

Overview

Our main sources of liquidity and capital resources as of the periods covered by this report have been internally generated cash flow from operations. Our primary use of capital has been for the development and acquisition of oil and natural gas properties. We continually monitor potential capital sources for opportunities to enhance liquidity or otherwise improve our financial position.

As of September 30, 2022, we had no outstanding debt. We had approximately $106,410 thousand in liquidity as of September 30, 2022, consisting of approximately $100,000 thousand of committed borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility and approximately $6,410 thousand of cash on hand.

With our cash on hand, cash flow from operations, and borrowing capacity under the new revolving credit facility entered into by Granite Ridge subsequent to September 30, 2022, we believe that we will have sufficient cash flow and liquidity

Table of Contents

to fund our budgeted capital expenditures and operating expenses for at least the next twelve months. However, we may seek additional access to capital and liquidity. We cannot assure you, however, that any additional capital will be available to us on favorable terms or at all.

Our recent capital commitments have been to fund development of oil and natural gas properties. We expect to fund our near-term capital requirements and working capital needs with cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowing capacity under our new revolving credit facility. Our capital expenditures could be curtailed if our cash flows decline from expected levels.

Working Capital

Our working capital balance fluctuates as a result of changes in commodity pricing and production volumes, collection of receivables, expenditures related to our development operations and the impact of our outstanding derivative instruments.

At September 30, 2022, we had a working capital surplus of approximately $70,912 thousand, compared to a surplus of approximately $37,268 thousand at December 31, 2021. Current assets increased by approximately $17,649 thousand and current liabilities decreased by approximately $15,995 thousand at September 30, 2022, compared to December 31, 2021. The increase in current assets in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021 is primarily due to an increase in revenue receivable, other assets and derivative assets partially offset by a decrease in cash and advances to operators. The decrease in current liabilities in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021 is primarily due to the decrease in our credit facilities and derivative liabilities, partially offset by an increase in accrued expenses.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows for the months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are presented below:


	Nine months ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2022		2021
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities	$	179,662	$	91,900
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities		(150,655)		(124,786)
Net Cash (Used in)/Provided by Financing Activities		(29,916)		44,074
Net Change in Cash	$	(909)	$	11,188

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our operating cash flow is sensitive to many variables, the most significant of which are the volatility of prices for oil and natural gas and the volume of oil and natural gas sold by our producers. Any interim cash needs are funded by cash on hand, cash flows from operations or borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $179,662 thousand, compared to approximately $91,900 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities primarily relates to a 67% increase in realized prices (before the effects of derivatives) and a 10% increase in production period over period. Working capital changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included an increase of approximately $21,627 thousand in revenue receivables related to increased realized oil prices (before the effects of derivatives) and increased production from development drilling. Working capital changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included an increase of approximately $22,941 thousand in revenue receivables related to increased production, resulting from development drilling, as well as increased realized commodity prices (before the effects of derivatives), as commodity prices recovered from their historic lows in 2020 as a result of COVID-19.

Table of Contents

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

We had cash flows used in investing activities of approximately $150,655 thousand and approximately $124,786 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily as a result of the development of oil and natural gas properties and acquisitions in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $29,916 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $44,074 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily related to net borrowings, as opposed to a combination of partners’ contributions and net borrowings during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Revolving Credit Facility

In October 2018, we entered into a revolving credit facility with an initial borrowing capacity of $0. Through a series of amendments, as of September 30, 2022, the borrowing base was raised to $100,000 thousand with no balance outstanding. From December 31, 2021 through September 30, 2022, there were no amendments to the revolving credit facility. On October 24, 2022, the revolving credit facility was terminated and Granite Ridge entered into a new revolving credit agreement. See Note 11 to our condensed combined unaudited financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.

Known Contractual and Other Obligations; Planned Capital Expenditures

Contractual and Other Obligations

As of September 30, 2022, we had repaid our contractual commitments under our revolving credit facility which included periodic interest payments. See Note 9 to our condensed combined unaudited financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. We have contractual commitments that may require us to make payments upon future settlement of our commodity derivative contracts. See Note 3 to our condensed combined unaudited financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. We have future obligations related to the abandonment of our oil and natural gas properties. See Note 6 to our combined audited financial statements included in our Registration Statement on Form S-4/A filed with the SEC on September 12, 2022. With respect to all of these items, except for our commitments under our debt agreements, we cannot determine with accuracy the amount and/or timing of such payments.

Planned Capital Expenditures

For the remainder of 2022, we are budgeting approximately $50,000 thousand in total planned capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2022, we had incurred approximately $15,757 thousand in capital expenditures that were included in accounts payable, and we estimate that we were committed to an additional approximately $50,000 thousand in development capital expenditures not yet incurred for wells we had elected to participate in. We expect to fund planned capital expenditures with cash generated from operations and, if required, borrowings under the new revolving credit facility entered into by Granite Ridge subsequent to September 30, 2022.

The amount, timing and allocation of capital expenditures are largely discretionary and subject to change based on a variety of factors. If oil and natural gas prices decline below our acceptable levels, or costs increase above our acceptable levels, we may choose to defer a portion of our budgeted capital expenditures until later periods to achieve the desired balance between sources and uses of liquidity and prioritize capital projects that we believe have the highest expected returns and potential to generate near-term cash flow. We may also increase our capital expenditures significantly to take advantage of opportunities we consider to be attractive. We will carefully monitor and may adjust our projected capital expenditures

Table of Contents

in response to changes in prices, availability of financing, drilling and acquisition costs, industry conditions, the timing of regulatory approvals, contractual obligations, internally generated cash flow and other factors both within and outside our control. For additional information on the impact of changing prices and market conditions on our financial position, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

Capital Requirements

Development activities are discretionary, and, for the near term, we expect such activities to be maintained at levels we can fund through cash on hand, internal cash flow and borrowings under the new revolving credit facility entered into by Granite Ridge subsequent to September 30, 2022. To the extent capital requirements exceed internal cash flow and borrowing capacity under such revolving credit facility, additional financings from the capital markets may be pursued to fund these requirements. We monitor our capital expenditures on a regular basis, adjusting the amount up or down and also between our projects, depending on commodity prices, cash flow and projected returns. Also, our obligations may change due to acquisitions, divestitures and continued growth. Our future success in growing proved reserves and production may be dependent on our ability to access outside sources of capital. If internally generated cash flow and borrowing capacity is not available under our revolving credit facility, we may issue additional debt to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions, extend maturities or to repay debt.

Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next Twelve Months

With the new revolving credit agreement entered into by Granite Ridge subsequent to September 30, 2022 and our positive cash flows from operations, we believe we will have sufficient capital to meet our drilling commitments, expected general and administrative expenses and other cash needs for the next twelve months. Nonetheless, any strategic acquisition of assets or increase in drilling activity may lead us to seek additional capital. We may also choose to seek additional capital rather than utilize our credit to fund accelerated or continued drilling at the discretion of management and depending on prevailing market conditions. We will evaluate any potential opportunities for acquisitions as they arise. However, there can be no assurance that any additional capital will be available to us on favorable terms or at all.

Effects of Inflation and Pricing

The oil and natural gas industry is typically very cyclical and the demand for goods and services of oil field companies, suppliers and others associated with the industry put extreme pressure on the economic stability and pricing structure within the industry. Typically, as prices for oil and natural gas increase, so do all associated costs. Conversely, in a period of declining prices, associated cost declines are likely to lag and may not adjust downward in proportion.

Material changes in prices also impact our current revenue stream, estimates of future reserves, borrowing base calculations of bank loans, impairment assessments of oil and natural gas properties, and values of properties in purchase and sale transactions. Material changes in prices can impact the value of oil and natural gas companies and their ability to raise capital, borrow money and retain personnel. Higher prices for oil and natural gas could result in increases in the costs of materials, services and personnel.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our critical accounting policies involving significant estimates include the estimation of proved oil and natural gas reserves, impairment testing, derivative instruments and hedging activity and asset retirement obligations. There were no material changes in our critical accounting policies involving significant estimates from those reported in our Registration Statement on Form S-4/A filed with the SEC on September 12, 2022.

Table of Contents

A description of our critical accounting policies was provided in the section titled “Grey Rock’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Fund I, II and III” of our Registration Statement on Form S-4/A filed with the SEC on September 12, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.

Commodity Price Risk

The price we receive for our oil and natural gas production heavily influences our revenue, profitability, access to capital and future rate of growth. Oil and natural gas are commodities and, therefore, their prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand and other factors. Historically, the markets for oil and natural gas have been volatile, and we believe these markets will likely continue to be volatile in the future. The prices we receive for our production depend on numerous factors beyond our control. Our revenue generally would have increased or decreased along with any increases or decreases in oil or natural gas prices, but the exact impact on our income is indeterminable given the variety of expenses associated with producing and selling oil that also increase and decrease along with oil and natural gas prices.

We enter into derivative contracts to achieve a more predictable cash flow by reducing our exposure to commodity price volatility. All derivative positions are carried at their fair value on the balance sheet and are marked-to-market at the end of each period. Any realized gains and losses on settled derivatives, as well as mark-to-market gains or losses, are aggregated and recorded to gain (loss) on derivative contracts on the statements of operations rather than as a component of other comprehensive income or other income (expense).

We generally use derivatives to economically hedge a significant, but varying portion of our anticipated future production. Any payments due to counterparties under our derivative contracts are funded by proceeds received from the sale of our production. Production receipts, however, lag payments to the counterparties. Any interim cash needs are funded by cash from operations or borrowings under our new revolving credit facility.

Interest Rate Risk

At September 30, 2022, we did not have any debt outstanding. At December 31, 2021, we had approximately $29,938 thousand of debt outstanding, which bears interest at a floating rate. Based on the approximately $29,938 thousand in floating rate debt we had outstanding as of December 31, 2021, a 1% increase or decrease in the weighted average interest rate would have resulted in an increase or decrease, respectively, of approximately $299 thousand in interest expense per year. We do not currently have any derivative arrangements to protect against fluctuations in interest rates applicable to our variable rate indebtedness but may enter into such derivative arrangements in the future. To the extent we enter into any such interest rate derivative arrangement, we would subject to risk for financial loss.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. As discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, we completed the Business Combination on October 24, 2022. Prior to the Business Combination, Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. was a privately held company with no operations, formed to be the successor following the Business Combination. Its Predecessor, Grey Rock Fund III, was a privately held operating company, and therefore the controls of Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. and the Predecessor were not required to be designed or maintained in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. The design of public company disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting for the Company following the Business Combination has required and will continue to require significant time and resources from our management and other personnel. Furthermore, Executive Network Partnering Corporation, the legal acquirer in the Business Combination, was a non-operating public shell company prior to the Business Combination, and as such the disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls of Executive Network Partnering Corporation no longer exist as of the assessment date.

Management evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022, and concluded they were not effective because of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.

In light of this material weakness, management completed additional procedures and analysis to validate the accuracy and completeness of the reported financial results. Notwithstanding this material weakness, based on the additional procedures and analysis, management concluded that the condensed combined financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A fairly present in all material respects financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Predecessor for the periods presented, in conformity with GAAP.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management has identified a material weakness related to the lack of effectively designed controls over proper review of the depletion calculation and the accounting for acquisitions and the related allocation and classification of consideration paid for proved and unproved properties. As disclosed in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Combined Financial Statements, certain acquisitions, initially classified as acquisitions of proved oil and natural gas properties, should have been classified as unproved oil and natural gas properties. The associated errors caused depletion expense and accumulated depletion to be overstated and resulted in the restatement of our previously filed unaudited condensed combined financial statements as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, the material weakness could result in a material misstatement of depletion expense and accumulated depletion that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements of Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. that would not be prevented or detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As described above, the design and implementation of internal control over financial reporting for the Company following the Business Combination has required and will continue to require significant time and resources from management and other personnel. In preparation for the Business Combination, we have been engaged in the process of the design and implementation of our internal control over financial reporting in a manner commensurate with the scale of our operations post-Business Combination. Changes that have been implemented leading up to and since the time of the Business Combination have included, among other things, the addition of entity level controls, appointment of an Audit Committee, adoption of committee charters, addition of Chief Accounting Officer with public company experience and various governance policies.

As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, management is in the process of implementing remediation steps to address the material weakness and to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Management is committed to the remediation of the material weakness described above, as well as the continued improvement of our internal controls over financial reporting.

Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Our Company was not a party to any material legal proceedings during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2022. In the future, the Company may be subject from time to time to litigation claims and governmental and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the information set forth in this report, the risks that are discussed in the Registration Statement on Form S-4/A filed with the SEC on September 12, 2022 (the “Registration Statement”), under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Business of Grey Rock,” “Grey Rock’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” should be carefully considered, as such risks could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Registration Statement, other than those disclosed below.

Certain of our unaudited financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were required to be restated and our management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. If we do not effectively remediate the material weakness or if we otherwise fail to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedure or internal control over financial reporting, our ability to report our financial results on a timely and accurate basis may be adversely impacted, which in turn may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Our management and audit committee concluded that our previously issued unaudited condensed combined financial statements as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 14, 2022 (the “Original Form 10-Q”), were materially misstated. Management and the audit committee concluded that these financial statements should no longer be relied upon. We are filing this amendment to the Original Form 10-Q in order to correct the errors by restating our previously issued unaudited condensed combined financial statements as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022.

In connection with the restatement, the Company’s management has evaluated the impact of these errors on its assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As a result of this valuation, the Company’s management identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting due to the lack of effectively designed controls over proper review of the depletion calculation and the accounting for acquisitions and the related allocation and classification of consideration paid for proved and unproved properties. A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. If not remediated, the material weaknesses could result in further material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements.

Management is in the process of implementing steps that it believes will remediate the material weaknesses it has identified. These steps may, however, not be sufficient to remediate the existing weakness or prevent a future weakness. A material weakness may result in a misstatement of accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the Company’s financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis or cause us to fail to meet our obligations under securities laws, stock exchange listing rules, or debt instrument covenants to file periodic financial reports on a timely basis. Any of these failures could result in adverse consequences that could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, including an adverse impact on the market price of its common stock, potential action by the SEC, shareholder lawsuits, delisting of the Company’s stock, and general damage to its reputation. The Company has incurred and expects to incur additional costs to rectify the material weaknesses or new issues that may emerge, and the existence of these issues could adversely affect its reputation or investor perceptions. The additional reporting and other
