Maverick Natural Resources, LLC

Houston, Texas

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Maverick Natural Resources, LLC and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statement of operations, members’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

•	Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

•

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

•	Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

•	Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

•	Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Maverick Natural Resources, LLC and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statement of operations, members’ equity, and cash flows for the period ended December 31, 2023, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2024 and 2023

1.	Nature of Operations

Maverick Natural Resources, LLC (“MNR” or “Parent”) and its subsidiaries, including Maverick Asset Holdings LLC (“MAH”), Maverick ABS Holdco, LLC (“ABS Holdco”), and Maverick Services, LLC (“Mav Services”), (collectively, “Maverick,” “we” or the “Company”) is a Delaware limited liability company formed on March 22, 2018. We are a Houston, Texas-based oil and natural gas company focused on the development and production of long-lived oil and natural gas reserves throughout the United States. Our primary operations are in seven regions in the United States: East Texas, Mid- Continent (Western Oklahoma and Eastern New Mexico); Permian (West Texas); Rockies (Wyoming); Southeast (Southwest Florida, Florida Panhandle and Alabama); and Western Anadarko (Texas Panhandle and Southwestern Oklahoma).

On October 26, 2023, the Parent, through its consolidated subsidiaries, raised $640 million through an asset-backed securitization financing transaction. Several new subsidiaries were created including MNR ABS Holdings I, LLC (“ABS Holdings”) and MNR ABS Issuer I, LLC (“ABS Issuer”). See Note 4 – Acquisitions and Divestitures – Transactions Between Subsidiaries of the Company and Note 10 – Debt for further discussion.

Effective March 14, 2025, the Company was acquired by Diversified Energy Company PLC (“Diversified”), pursuant to merger agreement entered into in January 2025. As a result of the transaction, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Diversified. For additional information, see Note 16 – Subsequent Events.

The Company operates its properties through its primary operating subsidiaries: Breitburn Operating, L.P. (“BOLP”), Unbridled Resources, LLC (“Unbridled”), and Maverick Permian, LLC.

In addition to our operating companies, the Company’s subsidiaries include: (i) Wheeler Midstream, LLC, an oil terminal located in Wheeler County, TX, which purchases oil from both properties operated by Unbridled, a wholly owned entity, and third-party operated properties, (ii) MidPoint Midstream, LLC, a gas gathering operation located in Wheeler and Hemphill Counties, Texas and Roger Mills and Beckham Counties, Oklahoma, which gathers and compresses natural gas produced from Unbridled and third party operated properties, and (iii) Bluebonnet Resources, LLC, which acquired unproved acreage for development purposes.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Our consolidated financial statements include Maverick and our wholly owned or majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13’’), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The ASU introduces a new credit loss methodology, Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL), which requires earlier recognition of credit losses, while also providing additional transparency about credit risk. Since its original issuance in 2016, the FASB has issued several updates to the original ASU. The CECL framework utilizes a lifetime “expected credit loss” measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans, held-to-maturity securities, and other receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. The methodology replaces the multiple existing impairment methods, which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized.

Maverick Natural Resources, LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2024 and 2023

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the guidance applying the modified retrospective basis approach. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the adoption date, January 1, 2023.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provided optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that referenced LIBOR ("London Inter-Bank Offered Rate") or another rate. ASU 2020-04 was in effect through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”), to provide clarifying guidance regarding the scope of Topic 848. ASU 2020-04 was issued to provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848" ("ASU 2022-06"), which defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s borrowings under its Credit Facility bear interest at an ABR or SOFR basis plus an applicable margin and the ABS loans have a fixed interest rate. At this time, the Company does not plan to enter into additional contracts using LIBOR as a reference rate. For additional information, see Note 10 – Debt.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-07, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Determining the Current Price of an Underlying Share for Equity-Classified Share-Based Awards” as a practical expedient to allow a nonpublic entity to determine the current price input of equity- classified share-based awards issued to both employees and nonemployees using the reasonable application of a reasonable valuation method. The practical expedient describes the characteristics of the reasonable application of a reasonable valuation method as the same characteristics used in the regulations of the U.S. Department of Treasury for income tax purposes (the “Treasury Regulations”). Consequently, a reasonable valuation performed in accordance with the Treasury Regulations is an example of a way to achieve the practical expedient. This accounting standard had no effect on the Company and the company continues to use a reasonable valuation method for its equity classified awards.

In March 2023, the FASB issued an ASU to amend certain provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC”) Topic 842, “Leases” (“ASC 842”) that apply to arrangements between related parties under common control. The ASU amends the accounting for the amortization period of leasehold improvements in common-control leases for all entities and requires certain disclosures when the lease term is shorter than the useful life of the asset. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. This accounting standard had no effect on the Company and the Company will continue to evaluate the standard in the future.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2024 and 2023

New Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40),” which expands disclosures around an entity’s costs and expenses of specific items (i.e. employee compensation, DD&A), requires the inclusion of amounts that are required to be disclosed under GAAP in the same disclosure as other disaggregation requirements, requires qualitative descriptions of amounts remaining in expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and requires disclosure of total selling expenses, and in annual periods, the definition of selling expenses. The amendment does not change or remove existing disclosure requirements. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendment can be adopted prospectively or retrospectively to any or all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related footnotes in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Our significant estimates include oil and natural gas reserves; cash flow estimates used in impairment testing of oil and natural gas properties and midstream assets; depreciation, depletion, amortization (“DD&A”) and accretion; asset retirement obligations (“ARO”); accrued revenue and related receivables; operating expenses and accrued liabilities; valuation of liability-classified incentive awards; mark-to-market hedge valuations; marketable securities; and unit-based compensation. We believe our estimates are reasonable, and actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Cash and Restricted Cash

Our cash consists of cash in the bank. Current restricted cash represents funds held in escrow that will be used to settle certain general unsecured claims related to the 2018 bankruptcy and cash held in a liquidity reserve account and collection account maintained in connection with the ABS Financing Transaction. At December 31, 2024, the amounts in Restricted Cash consisted of $3.2 million, $11.6 million, $19.5 million, and $0.9 million for the escrow, collection, liquidity reserve, and plug and abandonment accounts, respectively. At December 31, 2023, the amounts in Restricted Cash consisted of $3.2 million, $5.1 million, and $23.6 million, and $0.0 million for the escrow, collection, liquidity reserve, and plug and abandonment accounts respectively. See Note 8 – Other Long-Term Assets for further discussion.

Revenue Recognition and Natural Gas Balancing

We recognize revenues from the sale of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquid (“NGL”) when control of the oil, natural gas and NGL production has transferred to the customer, the transaction price has been determined and collectability is reasonably assured and evidenced by a contract. Performance obligations under our contracts with customers are typically satisfied when oil, natural gas and NGL are transferred through delivery at the inlet of pipeline or processing plant, onloading to the delivery truck or barge.

Maverick Natural Resources, LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2024 and 2023

Oil terminal revenues are recognized when delivery to the purchaser has occurred, title has transferred, and the associated receivable is recoverable.

We generate gathering revenues by providing gathering and compression services to third parties. We recognize revenue for these arrangements over time based on a per unit rate applied to volumes that travel through the gathering system. In addition, we retain any drip liquids collected on our gathering systems. The value of these drip liquids is recognized as part of gathering revenue in the month the underlying gathering service is provided based upon the price realized for sale of drip condensate to third party customers which represents a market price.

Natural gas production imbalances represent the fair value of amounts payable or receivable for natural gas production imbalances, and revenues are recognized based on our share of volumes sold, regardless of whether we have taken our proportional share of volume produced. A receivable or liability is recognized only to the extent that we have an imbalance on a specific property greater than the expected remaining proved reserves. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, our natural gas production imbalance asset of $4.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively, was included in other long- term assets and natural gas production imbalance liability of $21.6 million and $21.8 million, respectively, was included in other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

Inventory

Inventory represents our share of crude oil produced from our operations that is held in storage tanks and unsold at the end of the period. Inventory is reported as current assets in our consolidated balance sheets and carried at the lower of cost or market. We assess the carrying value of our inventory periodically to determine any adjustments necessary to reduce the carrying value to net realizable value. Uncertainties that may impact our assessment include: the applicable quality and location differentials and changes in the timing of a sale. We did not recognize any write-downs during the periods presented.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of publicly traded equity shares owned by the Company. As such, the Company reports these shares at fair value at each reporting date as Marketable securities on our consolidated balance sheets (see Footnote 5 – Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements). As of December 31, 2024, the Marketable securities had a fair value of $39.3 million.

Changes in fair value are recorded as an unrealized investment gain (loss) in Other income, net on our consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized an unrealized gain of $12.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Proved Oil and Natural Gas Properties

We account for oil and natural gas exploration and development activities using the successful efforts method. Under this method, all property acquisition and development costs are capitalized when incurred and depleted on a unit-of-production basis over total proved reserves and proved developed reserves, respectively. Proved leasehold costs associated with proved reserves are depleted based on total proved reserves, which include proved undeveloped reserves.

Costs of retired, sold or abandoned properties that constitute part of an amortization base are charged or credited, net of proceeds to accumulated DD&A unless doing so significantly affects the unit-of-production amortization rate, in which case a gain or loss is recognized currently in the consolidated statements of operations.

Maverick Natural Resources, LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2024 and 2023

Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals necessary to maintain properties in operating condition are expensed as incurred. Major betterments, replacements and renewals are capitalized to the appropriate property and equipment accounts. Estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs for oil and natural gas properties are capitalized, net of salvage, at their estimated net present value and amortized on a unit-of-production basis over the remaining life of the related proved developed reserves.

Unproved Oil and Natural Gas Properties

Unproved oil and natural gas properties include lease acquisition costs which are costs incurred to acquire unproved leases. Lease acquisition costs are capitalized until the leases expire or when we specifically identify leases that will revert to the lessor, at which time we expense the associated lease acquisition costs. Lease acquisition costs that are expensed are recorded as “impairment of oil and natural gas properties” in our consolidated statements of operations. Lease acquisition costs related to successful exploratory drilling are reclassified to proved properties and depleted on a unit- of-production basis.

For sales of entire working interests in unproved properties, gain or loss is recognized to the extent of the difference between the proceeds received and the net carrying value of the property. Proceeds from sales of partial interests in unproved properties are accounted for as recovery of costs unless the proceeds exceed the entire cost of the property.

Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties

We evaluate proved oil and natural gas properties for impairment whenever facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying values of such properties may not be recoverable. We perform impairment assessments by grouping assets at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows. Impairment is indicated when a triggering event occurs and/or the sum of the estimated future net cash flows of an evaluated asset group is less than the asset group’s carrying value. Triggering events may include potential disposition of assets and declines in oil, natural gas and NGL prices. If impairment is indicated, we estimate fair value using a discounted cash flow approach. The factors used to determine fair value are subject to management’s judgment and expertise and include, but are not limited to, recent sales prices of comparable properties, the present value of future cash flows, net of estimated operating and development costs using estimates of proved reserves, future commodity pricing, future production estimates, anticipated capital expenditures and various discount rates commensurate with risk and current market conditions associated with realizing the expected cash flows projected.

We evaluate unproved oil and natural gas properties periodically for impairment on a geographic basis based on remaining lease terms, drilling results or future plans to develop acreage. These factors may be affected by economic factors including future oil and natural gas prices and projected capital costs.

We evaluate the recoverability of our other property, plant and equipment whenever events or circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the respective carrying values may have occurred. We compare the net carrying value of the asset group to the undiscounted net cash flows projected. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, we will adjust the carrying amount to fair value.

Impairment expense for proved and unproved properties is reported as “impairment of oil and natural gas properties” in the consolidated statements of operations. Impairment expense for other property, plant and equipment is reported as “impairment of long-lived assets” in the consolidated statements of operations.

Other Property, Plant and Equipment

Other property, plant and equipment include buildings, field equipment, compressors, furniture, leasehold improvements, computer hardware and software. We record other property, plant and equipment at cost and depreciate the assets on the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the individual assets.

We assign the useful lives of our property, plant and equipment based upon our internal estimates that are reviewed by management periodically. We use estimated lives of 20 years for our buildings, two to seven years for field equipment, furniture and computer hardware and software, and the remaining lease term for leasehold improvements. At the time of sale or disposal, the costs and accumulated DD&A of the sold or disposed assets are removed from our consolidated balance sheets with any gain or loss realized in our consolidated statements of operations.

Midstream Assets

Midstream assets consist primarily of natural gas gathering facilities and pipelines, as well as an oil terminal. Renewals and betterments, which substantially extend the useful lives of the assets, are capitalized and reported as other property, plant and equipment in our consolidated balance sheets. Maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred. These assets are depreciated on the straight- line method over 3 to 30 years. We consider estimated future dismantlement, restoration and abandonment costs in our calculation of straight-line DD&A for our natural gas gathering, processing facilities and pipelines.

Leases

At inception, contracts are assessed for the presence of a lease according to the criteria prescribed by Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC”) Topic 842, “Leases” (“ASC 842”). If a lease is present, further criteria is assessed to determine if the lease should be classified as an operating or finance lease. Operating leases are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as Operating lease right- of-use assets with the corresponding lease liabilities presented as Operating lease obligations – current and Operating lease obligations—-noncurrent. Finance lease assets are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as Other property, plant and equipment with the corresponding liabilities presented in Current portion of long-term debt and Long-term debt.

Generally, lease liabilities are recognized at commencement and based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments to be made over the lease term. Lease assets are then recognized based on the value of the lease liabilities. For leases where the implicit lease rates are not determinable, the minimum lease payments are discounted using the Company’s collateralized incremental borrowing rates.

Operating leases are expensed according to their nature and recognized in Operating expenses or General and administrative expenses. Finance leases are depreciated and amortized with the relevant expenses recognized in Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization and Interest Expense on the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 6 – Leases for further discussion.

Revenue and Production Taxes Payable

We calculate and pay taxes and royalties on crude oil and natural gas in accordance with particular contractual provisions of the leases, license or concession agreements and the laws and regulations applicable to those agreements.

Asset Retirement Obligations

We recognize estimated liabilities for future costs associated with the abandonment of our oil and natural gas properties, gas gathering, processing facilities and pipelines. We record a liability for the fair value of an ARO and a corresponding increase to the carrying value of the related long-lived asset in the period in which wells are drilled or acquired. See Note 11 – Asset Retirement Obligations for further discussion.

Liability-Classified Awards

We classify certain awards that will be settled in cash as liability awards in our consolidated balance sheets in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The fair value of a liability-classified award is determined on a quarterly basis beginning at the grant date until final vesting. Changes in the fair value of liability-classified awards are recorded to general and administrative expense and operating costs over the vesting period of the award. The Company’s liability-classified awards include a performance condition based on preceding Implied Equity Value. See Note 5 – Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements for further discussion.

Unit-Based Compensation

Unit-based compensation grants are measured at their grant date fair value and related compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period of the grant. Compensation cost for awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. See Note 14 – Compensation for further discussion.

Environmental Liabilities

We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws regulate the release, disposal or discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relate to environmental protection. These laws and regulations may require that we remove or mitigate the environmental effect of the discharge, disposal or release of petroleum substances at various sites. Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. We expense expenditures related to an existing condition caused by past operations that have no future economic benefit. We record liabilities for noncapital expenditures when environmental assessments or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the timing of cash payments for the liability is fixed or determinable. We did not have environmental liabilities at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions

We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, we recognize amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed equal to their estimated acquisition-date fair values. Transaction and integration costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2024 and 2023

We make various assumptions in estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As fair value is a market-based measurement, it is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use. The most significant assumptions relate to the estimated fair values of the proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties. The fair values of these properties are measured using valuation techniques that convert future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation include estimates of reserves, future operating and development costs, future commodity prices and a market-based weighted average cost of capital rate. The market-based weighted average costs of capital rate are subjected to additional project- specific risking factors. In addition, when appropriate, we review comparable purchases and sales of oil and natural gas properties within the same regions and use that data as a proxy for fair market value; for example, the amount a willing buyer and seller would enter into exchange for such properties.

Any excess of the acquisition price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired in recorded as goodwill. Any excess of the estimated fair value of net assets acquired over the acquisition price is recorded as a bargain purchase gain in other income, net on our consolidated statements of operations.

In an asset acquisition, transaction costs are capitalized, and any excess or deficit of fair value of net assets in relation to acquisition price is allocated to the acquired assets based on the relative fair value.

Commitments and Contingencies

We recognize liabilities for other commitments and contingencies when, after fully analyzing the available information, we determine that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. When a range of probable loss can be estimated, we accrue the mostly likely amount, or if no amount is more likely than another, we accrue the minimum of the range of probable loss.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Certain of our financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Our financial instruments, not otherwise recorded at fair value, consist primarily of cash, trade receivables, trade payables and long-term debt. The carrying value of cash, trade receivables and trade payables are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. See Note 5 – Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements for additional details.

Fair Value of Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities

We apply fair value accounting guidance to measure our nonfinancial assets and liabilities such as those obtained through property, plant and equipment, AROs and restructuring. These assets and liabilities are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances and are not subject to recurring revaluations. Fair value may be estimated using comparable market data, a discounted cash flow method, or a combination of the two as considered appropriate based on the circumstances. Under the discounted cash flow method, estimated future cash flows are based on management’s expectations for the future and include estimates of future oil and natural gas production and other applicable sales estimates, operational costs and risk-adjusted discount rate. We may use the present value of estimated future cash inflows and outflows, third-party offers or prices of comparable assets with consideration of the current market conditions to value our nonfinancial assets and liabilities when circumstances dictate fair value determination is necessary.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

We are subject to credit risk resulting from the concentration of our oil, natural gas and NGL receivables with the following major purchasers that accounted for 10% or more of our total oil, natural gas and NGL sales for the periods presented:

	Year Ended December 31,
Purchaser	2024		2023
Customer A		18%		15%
Customer B		13%		12%
Customer C		13%		11%

Our financial instruments with credit risk exposure consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, and derivative instruments. We maintain cash in deposit accounts at financial institutions that may exceed the federally insured limits. We monitor credit risk exposure by (i) placing our assets and other financial instruments with credit-worthy financial institutions, (ii) maintaining policies over credit extension that include our evaluation of customers’ financial condition and monitoring payment history and (iii) netting derivative assets and liabilities where we have legal right of offset with counterparties and diversifying our derivative instrument portfolio.

Risk Management and Derivative Instruments

We have entered into derivative contracts with counterparties to reduce the effect of changes in oil and natural gas prices on a portion of our oil and natural gas production. We do not enter into such contracts for speculative trading purposes. Our commodity derivative instruments are measured at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets as derivative assets or derivative liabilities. We have not designated any derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes. Gains and losses from valuation changes in commodity derivatives are reported as (gain) loss on commodity derivative instruments in our consolidated statements of operations. Our cash flows are only impacted when the actual settlements under the derivative contracts result in making or receiving a payment to or from the counterparty. Cash settlements are reflected as operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows. We expense transaction costs related to the modification of derivative instruments as incurred. See Note 5 – Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements for further discussion of our derivative instruments.

We have market and credit risk exposure due to commodity derivatives that are concentrated with certain counterparties who are affiliate lenders under the Credit Agreement. We believe the risk of nonperformance by our counterparties is low as we execute our derivative contracts only with credit- worthy financial institutions and we have no past-due receivables from our derivative counterparties. As of December 31, 2024, our largest derivative counterparties were J. ARON & Company, JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A., and Citizens Bank N.A. which accounted for approximately 38%, 35%, and 17%, respectively, of our total hedged volume position of approximately 53 million barrel-of-oil- equivalents ("BOE").

Our commodity derivative contracts are documented with industry standard contracts known as Schedule to the Master Agreement and International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA”). Typical terms for the ISDAs include credit support requirements, cross default provisions, termination events and set-off provisions. We are not required to provide any credit support to our counterparties other than cross collateralization with the oil and natural gas properties securing the Credit Agreement. We have certain limitations under the Credit Agreement, including a provision that limits the total amount of our production that may be hedged to certain percentages of current and forecasted production. As of December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with these limitations. See Note 5 – Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements and Note 10 – Debt for additional information.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs related to our Credit Facility and ABS Notes are amortized over the life of the related debt using the effective interest rate method and unamortized debt issuance costs are netted against the outstanding balance of debt obligations on our consolidated balance sheets. Any unamortized costs associated with retired debt are written off and included in the determination of gain or loss on extinguishment of debt.

Revenues

Sales of oil, natural gas and NGL are recognized at the point when control of the commodity is transferred to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Most of our contracts’ pricing provisions are tied to a commodity market index, with certain adjustments based on, among other factors, whether a well delivers to a gathering or transmission line, quality of the oil or natural gas, and prevailing supply and demand conditions. As a result, the price of the oil, natural gas and NGL fluctuates to remain competitive with the other available oil, natural gas and NGL suppliers.

Oil Sales

Under our crude purchase and marketing contracts, we generally sell oil production at the wellhead and collect an agreed-upon index price, net of pricing differentials. We recognize revenue when control transfers to the purchaser at the wellhead or delivery point for onloading to delivery truck or barge at the net price received.

Natural Gas and NGL Sales

Under our natural gas gathering, processing and purchase contracts, we deliver unprocessed natural gas to processing plants at the wellhead or the inlet of the processing plant’s system. The midstream entity then gathers and processes the natural gas to produce residue gas and NGLs generated from processing. In the majority of cases, the midstream entity remits payment to us for NGLs based on index-based pricing or weighted average sales proceeds less deductions which may include gathering, processing and transportation fees, while the residue gas is redelivered to us at the tailgate of the midstream entity’s processing plant for marketing under separate contracts. We sell residue gas at the delivery point specified in the separate contract and collect an agreed-upon index price, net of pricing differentials. Transportation, gathering and processing costs incurred after control transfers to the purchaser are recognized as reductions to revenues rather than as operating costs.

Oil Terminal Sales

Under our oil terminal sales contracts, we sell oil at the delivery point specified in the contract and collect an agreed-upon index price, net of pricing differentials. Control as defined under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) passes at the delivery point. The delivery point is the point at which the oil passes the last permanent delivery flange or meter connecting our facility to customer’s facility. At the delivery point, the customer takes physical custody, title and risk of loss of the product and we have a right to receive payment for the sale. We recognize revenue at the net price received when control transfers to the customer. Oil terminal sales are reported in other revenues, net on our consolidated statements of operations.

Gathering Revenue

We generate gathering revenues by providing gathering and compression services to third parties, which are reported in other revenues, net on our consolidated statements of operations. We recognize revenue for these arrangements over time based on a per unit rate applied to volumes that travel through the gathering system. In addition, we retain any drip liquids collected on our gathering systems. The value of these drip liquids is recognized as part of gathering revenue in the month the underlying gathering service is provided based upon the price realized for sale of drip condensate to third party customers which represents a market price.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2024 and 2023

Purchased Condensate Sales

The Company’s purchased oil and natural gas sales are derived from the sale of oil and natural gas purchased from a third party and reported in other revenues, net on our consolidated statements of operations. Revenues and expenses from these sales and purchases are generally recorded on a gross basis, as the Company acts as a principal in these transactions by assuming control of the purchased oil or natural gas before it is transferred to the customer.

Performance Obligations

A significant number of our product sales are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. We record revenue on our oil, natural gas and NGL sales at the time production is delivered to the purchaser. However, settlement statements for certain oil, natural gas and NGL sales may not be received for 30 to 90 days after the production is delivered.

We have elected practical expedients, pursuant to ASC 606, to exclude from the presentation of remaining performance obligations: (i) contracts with index-based pricing or variable volume attributes in which such variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation; (ii) contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less; and (iii) contracts for which we recognize revenue under the right to invoice practical expedient.

Contract Balances

We invoice our customers when we have satisfied our performance obligations, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, our product sales contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities under ASC 606.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable consist of receivables from joint interest owners on properties the Company operates and from sales of oil and natural gas production delivered to third party purchasers. Accounts receivable is held at cost. At each reporting date, the Company assesses the expected lifetime credit losses on initial recognition of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the credit loss allowance on accounts receivable from joint interest owners was $6.6 million and $5.8 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $0.8 million and $0.0 million, respectively, of credit losses. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, no credit loss allowance existed on revenue accounts receivable.

Acquisitions

During 2024 and 2023, we acquired approximately 9,100 and 22,800 net acres (unaudited), respectively of unproved acreage in Texas for total consideration of $9.7 million and $14.6 million, respectively. The acquisitions were financed through borrowings under our existing credit facility. The acreage is considered strategic to the Company’s long-term growth objectives and is expected to provide significant opportunities for exploration and development. These leases are currently in the early stages of evaluation.

Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control

On October 26, 2023, Unbridled entered into an asset purchase agreement with ABS Issuer (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”). Unbridled agreed to sell and transfer to ABS Issuer certain operated and non-operated oil and natural gas wells and all oil and natural gas leases, subleases and leasehold covering such wells (the “ABS Assets” and such transfer, the “ABS Asset Transfer”) for a purchase price of $640 million, of which $630 million was cash and $10 million was a non-cash note payable, which was subsequently issued to a third party in January 2024 for $10 million in cash and accrued interest of $0.2 million.

In connection with the transaction, ABS Issuer entered into an indenture with UMB Bank, N.A. as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”) (the “Indenture”) to which ABS Issuer issued (a) $640 million aggregate principal amount of Series 2023-1 Notes, consisting of (i) $285 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.121% Series 2023-1 Notes, Class A-1 Notes due December 2038, (ii) $260 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.946% Series 2023-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes due December 2038 and (iii) $95 million aggregate principal amount of its 12.436% Series 2023-1 Notes, Class B Notes due December 2038 (collectively, the “ABS Notes”) and (b) pledged the ABS Assets to the Indenture Trustee to secure the ABS Issuer’s obligations under the Indenture (the “ABS Financing Transaction”).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2024 and 2023

In addition the following events occurred in connection with the transaction: (i) $10 million of the ABS Notes were issued to Maverick, (ii) a holdback of $5.4 million related to consents not received at the date of the transaction which is reflected as restricted cash, (iii) a Liquidity Reserve Account was established for $23.6 million and is reflected as restricted cash, (iv) $260 million was an equity distribution and (v) repaid $300 million for the Credit Facility.

We incurred hedge novation fees of $4.6 million in conjunction with the ABS Financing Transaction which were expensed as incurred in general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. We incurred $12.7 million of costs including legal fees and administrative fees in connection with the ABS Financing Transaction which were capitalized as deferred financing costs and recorded as an offset to the carrying value of the ABS Notes. See Note 10 – Debt for more information on the ABS notes.

Divestitures

In May 2024, we entered into an agreement with a third party to divest certain properties in west Texas. The divestiture was executed without a purchase price, and the Company received no financial consideration for the transaction. We recognized a $2.2 million gain on the sale for the year ended December 31, 2024. The gain was primarily due to relief of related asset retirement obligations.

In August 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party to sell certain East Texas assets (the “East Texas Sale”) for a combined purchase price totaling $66.9 million, of which $39.6 million was settled in cash and $27.3 million was settled in shares of the purchasing entity. See Note 5 – Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements for more information. The Company recorded an impairment loss, as the total consideration received was lower than the net book value of the asset group. See Note 7 -- Long-Lived Assets and Impairment for more information.

In August 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party to sell certain East Texas assets (the “Oak Hill Sale”), for a purchase price of $12.6 million. We recognized a $16.1 million gain on the sale for the year ended December 31, 2024. The gain was primarily due to relief of related asset retirement obligations.

In November and December 2024, the Company entered into agreements to sell undeveloped acreage in the Permian Basin to separate third parties for $3.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. We recognized a $4.6 million gain on the sale for the year ended December 31, 2024.

In March 2023, we entered into an agreement with a third party to divest certain interests in oil and natural gas properties, rights and related assets in Western Anadarko Basin for a purchase price of $10.0 million. This sale was accounted for as a normal retirement under the provisions of paragraph ASC 932-360-40-3 with no gain or loss recorded on the sale for the year ended December 31, 2023.

In May 2023, we entered into an agreement with a third party to divest certain properties in west Texas for a purchase price of $4.5 million. We recognized a $0.3 million gain on the sale for the year ended December 31, 2023.

In November 2023, we entered into an agreement with a third party to divest certain interests in oil and natural gas properties, rights and related assets in Wyoming for a purchase price of $0. We recognized a $0.1 million gain on the sale for the year ended December 31, 2023.

December 31, 2024 and 2023

In connection with other divestitures of non-core oil and natural gas properties, we recognized gains of $1.1 million in “gain (loss) on sale of assets” on our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

5.	Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Commodity Activities

At December 31, 2024, our commodity derivatives consisted of fixed price swaps and two-way costless collars. Our fixed price swaps are comprised of a sold call and a purchased put established at the same price (both ceiling and floor). The two-way collars are a combination of options: a sold call and a purchased put. The purchased put establishes a minimum price (floor) and the sold call establishes a maximum price (ceiling). For both swaps and collars, all transactions are settled in cash for the net difference between settlement and contract prices, multiplied by the hedged contract volumes, for the settlement period.

In October 2023, MAH novated to ABS Issuer certain derivative contracts underlying certain derivative instruments in connection with the ABS Financing Transaction. These derivative contracts consisted of fixed-price oil, natural gas and NGL swaps and collars. As a party to these contracts, ABS Issuer received payments directly from the counterparty or paid any amounts owed directly to the counterparty. Settlement of the novated commodity derivative contracts continued through the date the commodity derivatives instruments were unwound. Costs associated with the novation of $4.6 million were expensed as incurred in general and administrative expenses.

Our commodity derivative contracts settle monthly based on the differential between the contract price and the average NYMEX West Texas Intermediate index price (“NYMEX WTI”) (oil), average NYMEX Henry Hub index price (“NYMEX HH”) (natural gas) and Mont Belvieu Oil Price Information Service (“OPIS”) (NGLs).

Represents counterparty netting under our ISDA Agreements. See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. For our derivative contracts, we may enter into master netting, collateral and offset agreements with counterparties. These agreements provide us the ability to offset a counterparty’s rights and obligations, request additional collateral when necessary, or liquidate the collateral in the event of counterparty default. We net the fair value of cash collateral paid or received against fair value amounts recognized for net derivative positions executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting or offset agreement.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value, using the fair value hierarchy noted below. We use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and obtain the majority of our inputs from published objective sources or third-party market participants. We incorporate the impact of nonperformance risk, including credit risk, into our fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority of Level 1 to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority of Level 3 to unobservable inputs. We categorize our fair value financial instruments based upon the objectivity of the inputs and how observable those inputs are. The three levels of inputs are described further as follows:

Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2

Inputs other than quoted prices that are included in Level 1. Level 2 includes financial instruments that are actively traded but are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. We consider the over the counter (“OTC”) commodity derivative contracts in our portfolio to be Level 2.

Level 3

Inputs that are not directly observable for the asset or liability and are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Level 3 includes financial instruments that are not actively traded and have little or no observable data for input into industry standard models. We consider our liability-classified long term incentive plan awards and put option liability to be Level 3 liabilities. See Note 13 – Equity and Note 14 – Compensation for additional details.

Our assessment of the significance of an input to its fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Commodity Derivative Instruments

Our commodity derivative instruments include oil, natural gas and NGL swaps and collars. The fair value of our commodity derivative instruments is based on upon a third-party preparer’s calculation using mark-to-market valuation reports provided by our counterparties for monthly settlement purposes to determine the valuation of our derivative instruments. We do not have access to the specific proprietary valuation models or inputs used by our counterparties or third-party preparer.

Maverick Natural Resources, LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2024 and 2023

We compare the third-party preparer’s valuation to counterparty valuation statements and investigate any significant differences. Additionally, we analyze monthly valuation changes in relation to movements in crude oil and natural gas forward price curves. The fair values reflect nonperformance risk inherent in the transaction using current credit default swap values for each counterparty for asset positions and the Company’s creditworthiness for liability positions. Accordingly, we recorded an adjustment to the fair value of our net derivative liability of $2.7 million and $4.5 million at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Marketable Securities

Our marketable securities consist of publicly traded equity shares owned by the Company. In August 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party to sell certain assets (refer to Note 4 – Acquisition and Divestitures) for consideration including 2.3 million shares of restricted stock valued at $27.3 million at the date of close in October 2024. The stock is restricted under SEC Rule 144 and subject to a minimum holding period of six months. Refer to Note 4 – Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information.

Fair value is determined by multiplying the third party’s closing stock price quote on the reporting date as published on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), an active public market, by the number of shares held by the Company. These are considered Level 1 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the securities as of December 31, 2024 was approximately $39.3 million.

Fair Value – Recurring Measurement Basis

The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis on our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2024 and 2023 by level within the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value – Nonrecurring Measurement Basis

Acquisitions and impairment of proved and unproved properties and other non-oil and natural gas properties are also measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The Company utilizes a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of property as of the measurement date which utilizes the following inputs to estimate future net cash flows: (i) estimated quantities of oil and condensate, natural gas and NGL reserves; (ii) estimates of future commodity prices; and (iii) estimated production rates, future operating and development costs, which are based on the Company’s historic experience with similar properties. These inputs are not observable in the market and represent Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. In some instances, market comparable information of recent transactions is used to estimate fair value of unproved acreage.

Leases

We primarily have lease agreements for office buildings and vehicles. Our leases generally have lease terms of one year to four years, some of which may include options to extend or shorten the term of the lease at the Company’s discretion. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Some of our leases include lease and non-lease components. We have elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components and account for both as a single lease component.

Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. For leases where the implicit rate is not determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. For leases including options to extend or terminate the lease, we factor such terms into our determination of the present value of future payments when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Operating lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments and short-term lease payments (leases with initial terms less than 12 months) are expensed as incurred.

Operating lease assets and liabilities are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities – current, and operating lease liabilities – noncurrent on our consolidated balance sheets. Our finance lease assets and liabilities are included in other property, plant, and equipment, current portion of long-term debt, and long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets.

Long-Lived Assets Impairment

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded impairment losses totaling $120.4 million in proved properties.

We incurred $110.9 million of impairment in the third quarter of 2024 on certain East Texas based assets detailed in Note 4 after entering into purchase and sale agreements for total consideration lower than the net book value of the asset group. The East Texas based assets had a net book value of $176.2 million and a fair value of $65.3 million.

We incurred $9.5 million of impairment in the fourth quarter of 2024 due to an increase in operating costs, coupled by decreased production volumes in certain asset groups in East Texas and South Florida. The East Texas and South Florida assets had a net book value of $19.6 million and a fair value of $10.1 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded impairment losses totaling $66.8 million in proved properties.

We incurred $3.5 million of impairment in the first quarter of 2023 due to a significant decrease in commodity prices driven by a decrease in gas futures. The West Texas, East Texas, and South Florida assets had a net book value of $5.4 million and a fair value of $1.9 million.

We incurred $59.2 million of impairment in second quarter of 2023 due to a significant decrease in commodity prices driven by a decrease in gas futures. The Southeast, West Texas, and South Florida assets had a net book value of $120.8 million and a fair value of $61.7 million.

We incurred $4.1 million of impairment in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to significant downward revisions in reserves to certain impairment fields, driven by increased costs and decreased production. The Southeast, West Texas, and South Florida assets had a net book value of $9.6 million and a fair value of $5.5 million.

As of December 31, 2023, we held a 50% net profit interest (“NPI”) related to Jay Field. The NPI is held 50% by Maverick and a third party (“NPI Holder”). Under the arrangement, the NPI is payable after: (i) funds are withheld, to the extent allowable each month under the arrangement, to pay for the NPI holder’s share of future development costs and abandonment obligations, and (ii) we are reimbursed for the NPI holder’s share of excess historical production costs. Once the NPI holder’s share of the excess historical costs is reimbursed, the NPI will be payable monthly to the extent the NPI for that month exceeds the amount withheld for that month for future development costs and abandonment obligations.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had a property reclamation deposit of $12.5 million and $11.9 million, respectively, included in other long-term assets, held in an escrow account as security for future abandonment and remediation obligations for the Jay Field. We are required to maintain the escrow account in effect for three years after all abandonment and remediation obligations have been completed. The funds in the escrow account are not to be returned to us until the later of three years after satisfaction of all abandonment obligations or December 31, 2026. At certain dates subsequent to closing, we have the right to request a refund of a portion or all of the property reclamation deposit. The seller has the sole discretion to grant our refund request. In addition to the cash deposit, we are required to provide letters of credit. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $21.0 million in letters of credit related to the property reclamation deposit.

(1)

The fair values of the Company's ABS notes were $526.9 and $647.6 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The company uses a market approach to determine the fair value of its notes using estimates provided by an independent financial services firm (a Level 2 fair value measurement).

The ABS Notes are secured by certain oil and natural gas interests in currently producing oil and natural gas wells and other assets. The ABS Notes accrue interest at the respective stated per annum rates and have a final maturity date of December 15, 2038. Interest and principal payments are payable on a monthly basis. During the period ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 we incurred $53.3 million and $10.3 million of interest related to the ABS Notes.

Based on whether certain performance metrics are achieved, the Issuer could be required to apply excess cash flow to make additional principal payments.

The ABS Notes are subject to a series of covenants and restrictions customary for transactions of this type, including (i) that the Issuer maintains specified reserve accounts to be used to make required interest payments in respect of the ABS Notes, (ii) provisions relating to optional and mandatory prepayments and the related payment of specified amounts, including specified make- whole payments under certain circumstances, (iii) certain indemnification payments in the event, among other things, that the assets pledged as collateral are used in stated ways defective or ineffective, (iv) covenants related to recordkeeping, access to information and similar matters, and (v) the Issuer will comply with all laws and regulations which it is subject to. The ABS Notes are also subject to customary accelerated amortization events provided for in the indenture, including events tied to failure to maintain stated debt service coverage ratios, failure to maintain certain production metrics, certain change of control and management termination events, and event of default and the failure to repay or refinance the ABS Notes on the applicable scheduled maturity date. The ABS Notes are subject to certain customary events of default, including events relating to non-payment of required interest, principal, or other amounts due on or with respect to the ABS Notes, failure to comply with covenants within certain time frames, certain bankruptcy events, breaches of specified representations and warranties, failure of security interests to be effective and certain judgments.

Under the indenture, the Company must maintain the following financial covenants determined as of the last day of the quarter: 1) Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) of at least 1.05, 2) Senior DSCR of at least 1.25, 3) Senior IA DSCR of at least 1.20.

As of December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with our covenants under the ABS Notes.

Senior Secured Reserve-Based Credit Facility

Since April 2022, we have maintained an agreement with a syndicate of banks including JPMorgan Chase Bank acting as Administrator, Royal Bank of Canada, Citizens Bank, KeyBank National Association acting as co-syndication agents, RBC Capital Markets, and KeyBank Capital Markets (the “Credit Facility”). The agreement is for a maximum $1 billion credit facility with an initial $500 million borrowing base. The maturity date is April 1, 2026. The Credit Facility replaced the Company’s previous Cred Agreement.

The Credit Facility limits the amounts we could borrow to a borrowing base amount determined by the lenders at their sole discretion based on their valuation of our proved reserves and their internal criteria. Our obligations under the credit facility were collateralized by substantially all of our oil and natural gas properties, including mortgage liens on oil and natural gas properties having at least 85% of the reserve value as determined by reserve reports.

The Credit Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants requiring maintenance of the Consolidated Total Debt to EBITDAX Ratio to be less than 3.00 to 1.00 and a Current Ratio of no less than 1.00 to 1.00.

At our election, borrowings under the credit facility may be made on an Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) or a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) basis plus an applicable margin. In connection with the Credit Facility, the applicable margins vary from 2.00% to 3.00% for ABR borrowings and 3.00% to 4.00% for SOFR borrowings depending on the borrowing base. In addition, we are also required to pay a commitment fee on the amount of any unused commitments at a rate of 0.50% per annum. Interest on ABR borrowings and the commitment fee are generally payable quarterly. As of December 31, 2024, the effective interest rate of the Credit Facility was 9.27%. The Company’s credit facility pays interest at a variable rate, which approximates market rates. Therefore, the carrying value of the Credit Facility approximates fair value.

During 2022, we entered into two amendments to the Credit Facility (the “First Amendment” and “Second Amendment”) which increased the borrowing base from the initial $500 million to $750 million and then to $1 billion, respectively.

In July 2023, we entered into the third amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Third Amendment”), which reduced the borrowing base from $1 billion to $750 million. Each lender’s borrowing capacity was decreased, and we accounted for the Third Amendment as a modification of debt. Additionally, the Third Amendment allowed for a one-time cash distribution to our equity holders not to exceed $10 million in aggregate through September 30, 2023. We did not incur deferred financing costs in relation to the Third Amendment.

In October 2023 in conjunction with the ABS Financing Transaction, we entered into the fourth amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Fourth Amendment”), which amended in its entirety the original Credit Facility. Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, among other things, the borrowing base was reduced from $750 million to $350 million, and the respective reduced commitments of the various lending banks were reallocated among the continuing lenders to assign the exiting lenders’ commitment. We accounted for the decreases in a lender’s borrowing capacity as a modification and accounted for any lender that exited the credit facility as a debt extinguishment. In connection with the ABS financing transaction, we repaid $0.0 million as of December 31, 2023. We incurred deferred financing costs of $5.6 million in relation to the Fourth Amendment.

December 31, 2024 and 2023

In September 2024, we entered into the fifth amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Fifth Amendment”), which, upon the close of the aforementioned East Texas Sale, reduced the borrowing base from $350 million to $315 million. Each lender’s borrowing capacity was decreased, and we accounted for the Fifth Amendment as a modification of debt, resulting in a $1.5 million write off of deferred financing costs to interest expense. Additionally, the Fifth Amendment allowed for distribution of stock proceeds from the East Texas Sale.

We incurred deferred financing costs of $5.6 million in relation to the Fourth Amendment. At December 31, 2024, our borrowing base is $315.0 million, and the aggregate commitment of all lenders is $1 billion. Our next borrowing base redetermination is scheduled for May 1, 2025.

Unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Facility were $8.3 million and $13.2 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with our debt covenants under the Credit Facility.

Our ARO represents the present value of the expected costs to plug, abandon and remediate producing and shut-in wells at the end of the productive lives in compliance with applicable local, state and federal laws and applicable lease terms. We estimate the value of our ARO by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to plugging and abandonment liabilities. The ARO liability is accreted to its present value each period and the capitalized asset retirement costs are depleted with proved oil and natural gas properties using the unit-of-production method. We review our ARO estimates and assumptions periodically and, to the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the fair value of the existing ARO liability, we make a corresponding adjustment to the related asset. We consider these inputs to be Level 3 inputs as discussed in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 5 – Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements.

12.	Commitments and Contingencies

Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit

In the normal course of business, we have performance obligations that are secured, in whole or in part, by surety bonds or letters of credit. These obligations primarily relate to abandonments, environmental and other responsibilities where governmental and other organizations require such support. These surety bonds and letters of credit are issued by financial institutions and are required to be reimbursed by us if drawn upon. At both December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $21.3 million of irrevocable letters of credit outstanding, of which $21.0 million related to the property reclamation deposit as discussed in Note 8 – Other Long-Term Assets. At December 31, 2024, no amounts were drawn under the letters of credit.

Legal Proceedings

Although we may, from time to time, be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business, we are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. In addition, we are not aware of any material legal or governmental proceedings against us, or contemplated to be brought against us, under the various environmental protection statues to which we are subject.

13.

Equity

Common Units

During 2024, we repurchased 1,102 units for $1.1 million related to certain terminated executives. As a result of recent executive terminations, the Company determined that there is an established history of cash settling equity awards, which indicates that the substantive terms of the outstanding equity awards include a cash settlement feature, which results in a liability classification. The Company determined it appropriate to modify all outstanding equity awards to liability awards. This modification resulted in the reclassification from equity to liability awards of 8,960 units for $4.7 million. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we repurchased 3,222 units for $1.5 million for certain members and executives.

Member Distributions

There was a $0.2 million distribution in May 2024 related to a certain terminated executive. In September 2024, the Board approved a distribution of $24 million at $8.30 per common unit to the common unit holders on record on the applicable record date. In January 2023, the Board approved a distribution of $30 million at $10.36 per common unit to the common unitholders of record on the applicable record date. In May 2023, the Board approved two distributions totaling $50 million. The first distribution was $30 million at $10.36 per common unit to the common unitholders of record on the applicable record date. The second distribution was $20 million at $6.91 per common unit to the common unitholders of record on the applicable record date. In October 2023, the Board approved a distribution of $260 million at $89.76 per common unit to the common unitholders of record on the applicable record date.

The state of Oklahoma requires operators to withhold 5% of all production revenues associated with royalty interests held by Oklahoma nonresidents to be offset against state income taxes. As Maverick is not subject to income taxes as a limited liability company, the tax liability associated with the operations of Unbridled is the responsibility of the members. As such, the balance of Oklahoma state withholding has been reflected as an equity distribution. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total distributions attributable to Oklahoma state withholding is $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

14.	Compensation

Defined Contribution Plan

We sponsor a 401(k) defined contribution plan for eligible employees, and the Plan includes a provision for employer matching contributions. We recorded general and administrative expenses for our matching contributions totaling $2.2 million and $2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Long Term Incentive Plans

Maverick Natural Resources, LLC Long Term Incentive Plan (or the “LTIP”) was effective and approved by the Board in August 2019. The LTIP provides for the compensation of employees and eligible nonemployee directors of the Company and its subsidiaries by granting Incentive Units to employees and directors with 3-year and 1-year vesting terms, respectively, from the grant date. The Incentive Unit awards are accounted for as liability-classified awards that will settle in cash and reported as accounts payable and accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheets. Forfeitures associated with the LTIP awards granted are recognized when they occur.

The Incentive Unit Amounts upon vesting are payable in cash and is equal to the quotient of the Implied Equity Value as of the last day of the fiscal year preceding the Vesting Event (provided, that, in the case of vesting due to an Exit Event or Asset Sale, the Implied Equity Value is, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, either (i) the Implied Equity Value as of the last day of the fiscal year preceding such Vesting Event, or (ii) the Implied Equity Value as of another appropriate date determined by the Administrator, divided by a fixed number subject to adjustment by the Administrator. The Implied Equity Value means an amount equal to the quotient of Adjusted EBITDA and Peer Multiple, less Net Debt, plus Cumulative Distributions. The value of each LTIP unit at December 31, 2024 was estimated at $66.00 per unit. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

In August 2023, the Company granted long-term incentive awards to various executives in the form of cash. The Awards are subject to time-based vesting conditions. In February 2024, the Company granted additional long-term cash awards to various executives subject to time-based vesting conditions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2024 and 2023

The following table summarizes liability-classified award activity for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and provides information for unvested units as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

	Number of Units
Unvested units at December 31, 2022		96,124
Granted		108,473
Forfeited		(20,068	)
Vested		(64,194	)
Unvested units at December 31, 2023		120,335
Granted		88,850
Forfeited		(27,826	)
Vested		(60,528	)
Unvested units at December 31, 2024		120,831

The Company recognized cash-based long-term incentive compensation of $0.7 million and $1.3 million for executive awards in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Equity Incentive Awards

For equity classified awards, we recognize expense for the grant date fair value of the award over the vesting period of the awards. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. The grant date fair value of the common units was derived from an estimate of Enterprise Value, or the fair value of our upstream and midstream businesses and long-term debt and liabilities. Significant inputs used to determine the fair values of properties include estimates of: (i) reserves; (ii) future operating and development costs; (iii) future commodity prices; and (iv) a market-based weighted average cost of capital rate. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates by our management at the time of the valuation and are sensitive and subject to change.

In January 2024, the Company modified previously issued performance-based vesting awards into time-based vesting awards. Upon conversion a portion of the award immediately vested, with the remainder vesting in January 2025 and January 2026. The Company issued additional time-based vesting awards in January 2024, with tranches vesting annually over a three-year period. In August 2023, the Company granted executive incentive awards to various executives in the form of common units. The Awards are subject to performance-based vesting conditions based on market conditions. The remaining term of awards granted in 2024 is two years.

The Company recognized non-cash unit-based compensation of $1.6 million in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023. The weighted average grant date fair value for the award was $309.13 per common unit. As of December 31, 2023, 28,900 common units have been granted, 16,895 common units remain unvested.

Maverick Natural Resources, LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2024 and 2023

In September 2024, the Company modified its accounting for non-cash unit-based awards from equity classified to liability classified (refer to Footnote 13 – Equity). This resulted in a change in the aggregate adjustment to the current fair value of approximately $0.9 million. Approximately $0.4 million of additional expense was recorded in connection with establishing the liability at current fair value, with a residual value of approximately $1.2 million remaining in equity due to grant date fair value in excess of conversion date fair value. After conversion, approximately $4.7 million of equity awards were reclassified to liability awards, included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.

The Company recognized non-cash unit-based compensation of $4.7 million in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. The weighted average grant date fair value for the award was $339.70 per common unit. As of December 31, 2024, 41,489 common units have been granted, 8,254 common units remain unvested.

15.	Restructuring Costs

In 2024 and 2023, as part of the Company’s restructuring plan, we incurred restructuring costs of approximately $9.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, primarily related to plans for reductions in workforce to improve operational efficiencies.

Restructuring costs recorded in our consolidated statements of operations are presented for the respective periods:

	Year Ended December 31,
in thousands of dollars	2024		2023
Type of restructuring cost
Severance and related benefit costs	$	8,997	$	1,485
Office-lease abandonment and relocation		124		146
	$	9,121	$	1,631

16.	Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through April 30, 2025, the date the financial statements were issued and noted the events below.

In January 2025, the Company received a favorable verdict related to a civil claim against another operator. The court awarded $5.6 million to the Company, subject to final appeals by the opposing party.

In January 2025, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Diversified Energy Company PLC (“Diversified”). Pursuant to the merger agreement, Diversified acquired all of the Company's outstanding equity interests in exchange for approximately 21.2 million shares of Diversified common stock plus cash consideration of approximately $197 million upon closing of the transaction on March 14, 2025. As a result, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Diversified.

Reserve Quantity Information

The estimates of the Company’s proved reserves as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 were based on evaluations prepared by independent petroleum engineers. Proved reserves were estimated in accordance with guidelines established by the SEC and the FASB, which require that reserve estimates be prepared under existing economic and operating conditions based upon an average of the first-day-of-the-month commodity price during the 12-month period ending on the balance sheet date with no provision for price and cost escalations except by contractual arrangements.

Proved reserve quantity estimates are subject to numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. The accuracy of such estimates is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of subsequent drilling and production performance may cause either upward or downward revision of previous estimates. Further, the volumes considered to be commercially recoverable fluctuate with changes in commodity prices and operating costs. The Company emphasizes that proved reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of currently producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as additional information becomes available in the future.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company added 37.0 MMBOE through extensions primarily related to increased pricing and future drilling plans on proved undeveloped location in the Company’s Western Anadarko and Permian assets. These additions were offset by negative revisions of 16.5 MMBOE, reductions in production of 22.5 MMBOE, and the removal of 25.1 MMBOE related to the divestiture of properties primarily in the East Texas area. See Note 4 – Acquisitions and Divestitures for further discussion.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company added 9.6 MMBOE through extensions primarily related to increased pricing and future drilling plans on proved undeveloped location in the Company’s Western Anadarko and Permian assets. These additions were offset by negative revisions of 76.1 MMBOE, reductions in production of 25.0 MMBOE, and the removal of 3.1 MMBOE related to the divestiture of properties in Western Anadarko Basin, West Texas, and Wyoming. See Note 4 – Acquisitions and Divestitures for further discussion.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows (“DFNCF”) is computed by applying commodity prices used in determining proved reserves (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future production of proved reserves less estimated future expenditures (based on year-end estimated costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, discounted using a rate of ten percent per year to reflect the estimated timing of the future cash flows. Future income taxes are calculated by comparing undiscounted future cash flows to the tax basis of oil and gas properties plus available carryforwards and credits and applying the current tax rates to the difference. The discounted future cash flow estimates do not include the effects of the Company’s commodity derivative contracts.

Discounted future cash flow estimates, like those shown below, are not intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties. Estimates of fair value should also consider probable and possible reserves, anticipated future commodity prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations, any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

The standardized measure of discounted future cash flows as well as a roll forward in total for each respective year are as follows:
