Laredo Petroleum Announces Second-Quarter 2021 Financial and Operating Results
TULSA, OK - August 4, 2021 - Laredo Petroleum, Inc. (NYSE: LPI) ("Laredo" or the "Company") today announced its second-quarter 2021 financial and operating results.
Second-Quarter 2021 Highlights
•Announced agreements to purchase the assets of Sabalo Energy, LLC ("Sabalo") and divest of 37.5% of the Company's legacy proved developed producing reserves, transforming Laredo's expected future production mix and Free Cash Flow1 trajectory
•Incurred capital expenditures of $95 million, excluding non-budgeted acquisitions and leasehold expenditures, and completed 16 wells during second-quarter 2021
•Completed and began flowing back the 13-well Davis package in Howard County, the Company's third Howard County development package and first developed on wider spacing
•Produced an average of 85,924 barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") per day and 26,440 barrels of oil per day ("BOPD"), both increases of 9% from the first quarter of 2021
•Held flaring/venting to just 0.29% of produced gas, despite delayed third-party connections to tank batteries and downtime at third-party facilities
•Sold 714,526 shares for net proceeds of $45.6 million through the Company's at-the-market equity program ("ATM program"), completing the program
Subsequent Highlights
•Closed Sabalo acquisition and divestment of legacy proved developed producing reserves on July 1, 2021
•Issued $400 million of senior unsecured notes due 2029 and utilized proceeds to reduce the balance on the Company's senior secured credit facility
•Extended the maturity of the Company's senior secured credit facility until 2025, with the borrowing base reaffirmed at $725 million
"During 2021, we have significantly accelerated Laredo's transformation," stated Jason Pigott, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The combined Sabalo purchase and sale of legacy proved developed reserves increased our oil cut and added additional oil-weighted inventory. We continued to optimize our development in Howard County by increasing operational efficiency and completing our first wider-spaced development package. We improved our financial flexibility by completing a $75 million ATM program, extending the maturity of our senior secured credit facility and issuing $400 million of unsecured notes to reduce the balance on our credit facility. These actions, and our talented workforce, position us well to continue driving a rapid rate of change as we focus on our principles of
adding high-margin inventory, risk management and continuous improvement to create long-term value for our investors."
Second-Quarter 2021 Financial Results
For the second quarter of 2021, the Company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $132.7 million, or $10.47 per diluted share, which included a $159.3 million non-cash loss on derivatives. Adjusted Net Income1 for the second quarter of 2021 was $22.0 million, or $1.71 per adjusted diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA1 for the second quarter of 2021 was $97.0 million.
1Non-GAAP financial measure; please see supplemental reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.
Operations Summary
In the second quarter of 2021, Laredo's total production averaged 85,924 BOE per day, including oil production of 26,440 BOPD. As previously announced, in mid-to-late June, the Company’s production operations in Howard County were impacted by a combination of delayed third-party connections to tank batteries, downtime at third-party facilities due to weather-related events and lost power in the field. Laredo estimates that the curtailments and shut-ins reduced second-quarter 2021 total production by approximately 900 BOE per day, including approximately 700 BOPD of oil production. Absent these interruptions, the Company's oil production would have been above the midpoint of its oil production guidance range for second-quarter 2021.
Laredo maintained its commitment to reducing the flaring/venting of produced gas during the second quarter of 2021. Despite the challenges associated with the third-party delays and downtime, the Company only flared/vented 0.29% of produced gas during the quarter. Through the first half of 2021, Laredo has flared/vented 0.25% of produced gas, down from 0.71% for full-year 2020.
The Company completed 16 wells during second-quarter 2021, three more than anticipated. Operational efficiencies continued to reduce Laredo's time to drill and complete wells versus budgeted expectations, which pulled forward activity and resulted in the three additional completions during the quarter. Estimated drilling, completions and equipment cost during second-quarter 2021 remained at $525 per foot as Laredo's sand mine in Howard County protected the Company from rising sand prices and continued completions efficiencies offset other service cost pressures.
The Company's 13-well Davis package was completed during second-quarter 2021. This was Laredo's third well package in Howard County and the Company's first package developed on wider spacing in the Wolfcamp-A formation. Although production data is still limited, the Davis package is outperforming Laredo's first two Howard County packages that were developed on tighter spacing by 19%.
The Company is currently operating three drilling rigs and one completions crew in Howard and Glasscock counties. One of the three rigs was inherited with the Sabalo acquisition and is currently drilling an eight-well package that was spud prior to the closing of the acquisition. Laredo expects to release the third rig when drilling is
2
completed and to utilize a second completions crew through the end of third-quarter 2021 to complete the package. The Company expects to complete a total of 17 wells during third-quarter 2021, comprised of the remaining nine wells of the 12-well West package and eight wells of the 12-well Worthy/Buchanan package.
Operational and General and Administrative Expenses
Unit lease operating expense ("LOE") for the second quarter of 2021 was $2.53 per BOE, a decrease of 5% from the first quarter of 2021. Beginning in third-quarter 2021, the Company expects unit LOE to approach $4.00 per BOE as more of Laredo's production comes from Howard County after the closing of the Sabalo acquisition and the sale of working interests in certain producing reserves in Laredo's legacy acreage. The expected unit LOE increase reflects the Company's production shift away from legacy acreage with a production oil cut of approximately 20% to acreage in Howard County with a production oil cut of approximately 80%.
Cash long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") expense of $0.92 per BOE for second-quarter 2021 reflects the 209% appreciation in Laredo's stock price during the quarter. This expense is highly correlated to price changes in the Company's stock and would have been approximately $0.25 per BOE had the price remained at first-quarter 2021 levels. At a stock price of approximately $55, the expected expense for third-quarter 2021 is ($0.20) per BOE.
Incurred Capital Expenditures
During the second quarter of 2021, total incurred capital expenditures were $95 million, excluding non-budgeted acquisitions and leasehold expenditures, comprised of $79 million in drilling and completions activities, $4 million in land, exploration and data related costs, $6 million in infrastructure, including Laredo Midstream Services investments, and $6 million in other capitalized costs.
The Company remains in line with its updated full-year 2021 capital budget, excluding non-budgeted acquisitions and leasehold expenses, of $420 million. Laredo expects incurred capital expenditures of approximately $150 million in third-quarter 2021, reflecting transitional activity associated with the integration of the Sabalo acquisition. Incurred capital expenditures for fourth-quarter 2021 are expected to decrease to approximately $105 million as the Company's development activity returns to normalized levels.
Liquidity
At June 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $380 million on its $725 million senior secured credit facility, resulting in available capacity, after the reduction for outstanding letters of credit, of $301 million. Including cash and cash equivalents of $194 million, total liquidity was $495 million. The cash and cash equivalents balance reflects funds that were subsequently utilized to close the Sabalo transaction on July 1, 2021.
On July 16, 2021, Laredo closed an offering of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2029. In conjunction with the closing of the notes offering, the maturity of the Company's senior secured credit facility was extended until 2025 and the borrowing base was reaffirmed at $725 million.
3
At August 4, 2021, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $70 million on its $725 million senior secured credit facility, resulting in available capacity, after the reduction for outstanding letters of credit, of $611 million. Including cash and cash equivalents of $62 million, total liquidity was $673 million.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and any oral statements made regarding the contents of this release, including in the conference call referenced herein, contain forward-looking statements as defined under Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address activities that Laredo assumes, plans, expects, believes, intends, projects, indicates, enables, transforms, estimates or anticipates (and other similar expressions) will, should or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on management’s current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events.
General risks relating to Laredo include, but are not limited to, the decline in prices of oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas and the related impact to financial statements as a result of asset impairments and revisions to reserve estimates, the ability of the Company to execute its strategies, including its ability to successfully identify and consummate strategic acquisitions at purchase prices that are accretive to its financial results and to successfully integrate acquired businesses, assets and properties, oil production quotas or other actions that might be imposed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other producing countries ("OPEC+"), the outbreak of disease, such as the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, and any related government policies and actions, changes in domestic and global production, supply and demand for commodities, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and actions by OPEC+, long-term performance of wells, drilling and operating risks, the increase in service and supply costs, tariffs on steel, pipeline transportation and storage constraints in the Permian Basin, the possibility of production curtailment, hedging activities, the impacts of severe weather, including the freezing of wells and pipelines in the Permian Basin due to cold weather, possible impacts of litigation and regulations, the impact of the Company's transactions, if any, with its securities from time to time, the impact of new laws and regulations, including those regarding the use of hydraulic fracturing, the impact of new environmental, health and safety requirements applicable to the Company's business activities, the possibility of the elimination of federal income tax deductions for oil and gas exploration and development and other factors, including those and other risks described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 11, 2021, and those set forth from time to time in other filings with the SEC. These documents are available through Laredo's website at www.laredopetro.com under the tab "Investor Relations" or through the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval System at www.sec.gov. Any of these factors could cause Laredo's actual results and plans to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, Laredo can give no assurance that its future results will be as estimated. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made. Laredo does not intend to, and disclaims any obligation to, correct update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
The SEC generally permits oil and natural gas companies, in filings made with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves, which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC's definitions for such terms. In this press release and the conference call, the Company may use the terms "resource potential," "resource play," "estimated ultimate recovery" or "EURs," "type curve" and "standardized measure," each of which the SEC guidelines restrict from being included in filings with the SEC without strict compliance with SEC definitions. These terms refer to the Company’s internal estimates of unbooked hydrocarbon quantities that may be potentially discovered through exploratory drilling or recovered with additional drilling or recovery techniques. "Resource potential" is used by the Company to
5
refer to the estimated quantities of hydrocarbons that may be added to proved reserves, largely from a specified resource play potentially supporting numerous drilling locations. A "resource play" is a term used by the Company to describe an accumulation of hydrocarbons known to exist over a large areal expanse and/or thick vertical section potentially supporting numerous drilling locations, which, when compared to a conventional play, typically has a lower geological and/or commercial development risk. "EURs" are based on the Company’s previous operating experience in a given area and publicly available information relating to the operations of producers who are conducting operations in these areas. Unbooked resource potential and "EURs" do not constitute reserves within the meaning of the Society of Petroleum Engineer’s Petroleum Resource Management System or SEC rules and do not include any proved reserves. Actual quantities of reserves that may be ultimately recovered from the Company’s interests may differ substantially from those presented herein. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of the Company’s ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, decreases in oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas prices, well spacing, drilling and production costs, availability and cost of drilling services and equipment, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals, negative revisions to reserve estimates and other factors, as well as actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates. "EURs" from reserves may change significantly as development of the Company’s core assets provides additional data. In addition, the Company's production forecasts and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells and the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity, which may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases. "Type curve" refers to a production profile of a well, or a particular category of wells, for a specific play and/or area. The "standardized measure" of discounted future new cash flows is calculated in accordance with SEC regulations and a discount rate of 10%. Actual results may vary considerably and should not be considered to represent the fair market value of the Company’s proved reserves.
This press release and any accompanying disclosures include financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Free Cash Flow. While management believes that such measures are useful for investors, they should not be used as a replacement for financial measures that are in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable measure in accordance with GAAP, please see the supplemental financial information at the end of this press release.
Unless otherwise specified, references to "average sales price" refer to average sales price excluding the effects of the Company's derivative transactions.
All amounts, dollars and percentages presented in this press release are rounded and therefore approximate.

Supplemental reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures
Non-GAAP financial measures
The non-GAAP financial measures of Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in conjunction with net income or loss and other performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as operating income or loss or cash flows from operating activities. Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures, such as net income or loss, operating income or loss or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance.
Free Cash Flow (Unaudited)
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) before changes in operating assets and liabilities, net, less incurred capital expenditures, excluding non-budgeted acquisition costs. Free Cash Flow does not represent funds available for future discretionary use because it excludes funds required for future debt service, capital expenditures, acquisitions, working capital, income taxes, franchise taxes and other commitments and obligations. However, management believes Free Cash Flow is useful to management and investors in evaluating operating trends in its business that are affected by production, commodity prices, operating costs and other related factors. There are significant limitations to the use of Free Cash Flow as a measure of performance, including the lack of comparability due to the different methods of calculating Free Cash Flow reported by different companies.

Adjusted Net Income (Unaudited)
Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as income or loss before income taxes (GAAP) plus adjustments for mark-to-market on derivatives, premiums paid or received for commodity derivatives that matured during the period, impairment expense, gains or losses on disposal of assets, other non-recurring income and expenses and adjusted income tax expense. Management believes Adjusted Net Income helps investors in the oil and natural gas industry to measure and compare the Company's performance to other oil and natural gas companies by excluding from the calculation items that can vary significantly from company to company depending upon accounting methods, the book value of assets and other non-operational factors.

14
Adjusted EBITDA (Unaudited)
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net income or loss (GAAP) plus adjustments for share-settled equity-based compensation, depletion, depreciation and amortization, impairment expense, mark-to-market on derivatives, premiums paid or received for commodity derivatives that matured during the period, accretion expense, gains or losses on disposal of assets, interest expense, income taxes and other non-recurring income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA provides no information regarding a company's capital structure, borrowings, interest costs, capital expenditures, working capital movement or tax position. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for future discretionary use because it excludes funds required for debt service, capital expenditures, working capital, income taxes, franchise taxes and other commitments and obligations. However, management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating the Company's operating performance because this measure:
•is widely used by investors in the oil and natural gas industry to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods, the book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors;
•helps investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of the Company's operations from period to period by removing the effect of its capital structure from its operating structure; and
• is used by management for various purposes, including as a measure of operating performance, in presentations to the Company's board of directors and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.
There are significant limitations to the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the effect of certain recurring and non-recurring items that materially affect the Company's net income or loss and the lack of comparability of results of operations to different companies due to the different methods of calculating Adjusted EBITDA reported by different companies. The Company's measurements of Adjusted EBITDA for financial reporting as compared to compliance under its debt agreements differ.

Second-Quarter 2021 Earnings Presentation EXHIBIT 99.2
Forward-Looking / Cautionary Statements 2 This presentation, including any oral statements made regarding the contents of this presentation, contains forward-looking statements as defined under Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address activities that Laredo Petroleum, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “Laredo” or “LPI”) assumes, plans, expects, believes, intends, projects, indicates, enables, transforms, estimates or anticipates (and other similar expressions) will, should or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The forward- looking statements are based on management’s current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. General risks relating to Laredo include, but are not limited to, the decline in prices of oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas and the related impact to financial statements as a result of asset impairments and revisions to reserve estimates, the ability of the Company to execute its strategies, including its ability to successfully identify and consummate strategic acquisitions at purchase prices that are accretive to its financial results and to successfully integrate acquired businesses, assets and properties, oil production quotas or other actions that might be imposed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other producing countries (“OPEC+”), the outbreak of disease, such as the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, and any related government policies and actions, changes in domestic and global production, supply and demand for commodities, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and actions by OPEC+, long-term performance of wells, drilling and operating risks, the increase in service and supply costs, tariffs on steel, pipeline transportation and storage constraints in the Permian Basin, the possibility of production curtailment, hedging activities, the impacts of severe weather, including the freezing of wells and pipelines in the Permian Basin due to cold weather, possible impacts of litigation and regulations, the impact of the Company’s transactions, if any, with its securities from time to time, the impact of new laws and regulations, including those regarding the use of hydraulic fracturing, the impact of new environmental, health and safety requirements applicable to the Company’s business activities, the possibility of the elimination of federal income tax deductions for oil and gas exploration and development and other factors, including those and other risks described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 11, 2021, and those set forth from time to time in other filings with the SEC. These documents are available through Laredo’s website at www.laredopetro.com under the tab “Investor Relations” or through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval System at www.sec.gov. Any of these factors could cause Laredo’s actual results and plans to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, Laredo can give no assurance that its future results will be as estimated. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made. Laredo does not intend to, and disclaims any obligation to, correct, update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. The SEC generally permits oil and natural gas companies, in filings made with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves, which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms. In this presentation, the Company may use the terms “resource potential,” “resource play,” “estimated ultimate recovery,” or “EURs,” “type curve” and “standardized measure,” each of which the SEC guidelines restrict from being included in filings with the SEC without strict compliance with SEC definitions. These terms refer to the Company’s internal estimates of unbooked hydrocarbon quantities that may be potentially discovered through exploratory drilling or recovered with additional drilling or recovery techniques. “Resource potential” is used by the Company to refer to the estimated quantities of hydrocarbons that may be added to proved reserves, largely from a specified resource play potentially supporting numerous drilling locations. A “resource play” is a term used by the Company to describe an accumulation of hydrocarbons known to exist over a large areal expanse and/or thick vertical section potentially supporting numerous drilling locations, which, when compared to a conventional play, typically has a lower geological and/or commercial development risk. “EURs” are based on the Company’s previous operating experience in a given area and publicly available information relating to the operations of producers who are conducting operations in these areas. Unbooked resource potential and “EURs” do not constitute reserves within the meaning of the Society of Petroleum Engineer’s Petroleum Resource Management System or SEC rules and do not include any proved reserves. Actual quantities of reserves that may be ultimately recovered from the Company’s interests may differ substantially from those presented herein. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of the Company’s ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, decreases in oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas prices, well spacing, drilling and production costs, availability and cost of drilling services and equipment, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals, negative revisions to reserve estimates and other factors, as well as actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates. “EURs” from reserves may change significantly as development of the Company’s core assets provides additional data. In addition, the Company’s production forecasts and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells and the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity, which may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases. “Type curve” refers to a production profile of a well, or a particular category of wells, for a specific play and/or area. The “standardized measure” of discounted future new cash flows is calculated in accordance with SEC regulations and a discount rate of 10%. Actual results may vary considerably and should not be considered to represent the fair market value of the Company’s proved reserves. This presentation includes financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), such as Adjusted EBITDA, Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow. While management believes that such measures are useful for investors, they should not be used as a replacement for financial measures that are in accordance with GAAP. For definitions of such non-GAAP financial measures, please see the Appendix. Unless otherwise specified, references to “average sales price” refer to average sales price excluding the effects of the Company’s derivative transactions. All amounts, dollars and percentages presented in this presentation are rounded and therefore approximate.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income or loss (GAAP) plus adjustments for share-settled equity-based compensation, depletion, depreciation and amortization, impairment expense, mark-to-market on derivatives, premiums paid for commodity derivatives that matured during the period, accretion expense, gains or losses on disposal of assets, interest expense, income taxes and other non-recurring income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA provides no information regarding a company's capital structure, borrowings, interest costs, capital expenditures, working capital movement or tax position. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for future discretionary use because it excludes funds required for debt service, capital expenditures, working capital, income taxes, franchise taxes and other commitments and obligations. However, our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because this measure: is widely used by investors in the oil and natural gas industry to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods, the book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors; helps investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our capital structure from our operating structure; and is used by our management for various purposes, including as a measure of operating performance, in presentations to our board of directors and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting. There are significant limitations to the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the effect of certain recurring and non- recurring items that materially affect our net income or loss and the lack of comparability of results of operations to different companies due to the different methods of calculating Adjusted EBITDA reported by different companies. Our measurements of Adjusted EBITDA for financial reporting as compared to compliance under our debt agreements differ. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP): 20 Three months ended, (in thousands, unaudited) 9/30/2020 12/31/2020 3/31/2021 6/30/2021 Net loss ($237,432) ($165,932) ($75,439) ($132,661) Plus: Share-settled equity-based compensation, net 2,041 2,106 2,068 1,730 Depletion, depreciation and amortization 47,015 42,210 38,109 39,976 Impairment expense 196,088 109,804 — 1,613 Organizational restructuring expenses — — — 9,800 Transaction expenses — — — 1,741 Mark-to-market on derivatives: (Gain) loss on derivatives, net 45,250 81,935 154,365 216,942 Settlements received (paid) for matured derivatives, net 51,840 41,786 (41,174) (57,607) Settlements received for early-terminated commodity derivatives, net 6,340 — — — Net premiums paid for commodity derivatives that matured during the period(1) — — (11,005) (10,183) Accretion expense 1,102 1,105 1,143 1,158 (Gain) loss on disposal of assets, net 607 (94) 72 (66) Interest expense 26,828 26,139 25,946 25,870 Gain on extinguishment of debt, net — (22,309) — — Income tax (benefit) expense (2,398) 3,208 (762) (1,322) Adjusted EBITDA $137,281 $119,958 $93,323 $96,991 (1) Reflects net premiums paid previously or upon settlement that are attributable to derivatives settled in the respective periods presented
Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures Consolidated EBITDAX (Credit Agreement Calculation) “Consolidated EBITDAX” means, for any Person for any period, the Consolidated Net Income of such Person for such period, plus each of the following, to the extent deducted in determining Consolidated Net Income without duplication, determined for such Person and its Consolidated Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for such period: any provision for (or less any benefit from) income or franchise Taxes; interest expense (as determined under GAAP as in effect as of December 31, 2016), depreciation, depletion and amortization expense; exploration expenses; and other non-cash charges to the extent not already included in the foregoing clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv), plus the aggregate Specified EBITDAX Adjustments during such period; provided that the aggregate Specified EBITDAX Adjustments shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Consolidated EBITDAX for such period prior to giving effect to any Specified EBITDAX Adjustments for such period, and minus all non-cash income to the extent included in determining Consolidated Net Income. For the purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDAX for any Rolling Period in connection with any determination of the financial ratio contained in Section 10.1(b), if during such Rolling Period, Borrower or any Consolidated Restricted Subsidiary shall have made a Material Disposition or Material Acquisition, the Consolidated EBITDAX for such Rolling Period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Material Disposition or Material Acquisition, as applicable, occurred on the first day of such Rolling Period. For additional information, please see the Company's Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, dated May 2, 2017 as filed with Securities and Exchange Commission. The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss (GAAP) to Consolidated EBITDAX (Credit Agreement Calculation; non-GAAP): 21 Three months ended, (in thousands, unaudited) 9/30/2020 12/31/2020 3/31/2021 6/30/2021 Net loss ($237,432) ($165,932) ($75,439) ($132,661) Organizational restructuring expenses — — — 9,800 Transaction expenses — — — 1,741 Gain on extinguishment of debt, net — (22,309) — — (Gain) loss on disposal of assets, net 607 (94) 72 (66) Consolidated Net Loss (236,825) (188,335) (75,367) (121,186) Mark-to-market on derivatives: Loss on derivatives, net 45,250 81,935 154,365 216,942 Settlements received (paid) for matured derivatives, net 51,840 41,786 (41,174) (57,607) Settlements received for early-terminated commodity derivatives, net 6,340 — — — Mark-to-market loss on derivatives, net 103,430 123,721 113,191 159,335 Premiums received for commodity derivatives — — 9,041 — Non-Cash Charges/Income: Deferred income tax (benefit) expense (2,398) 3,208 (762) (1,322) Depletion, depreciation and amortization 47,015 42,210 38,109 39,976 Share-settled equity-based compensation, net 2,041 2,106 2,068 1,730 Accretion expense 1,102 1,105 1,143 1,158 Impairment expense 196,088 109,804 — 1,613 Interest Expense 26,828 26,139 25,946 25,870 Consolidated EBITDAX after EBITDAX Adjustments (limited to 15%) (non-GAAP) $137,281 $119,958 $113,369 $107,174
Net Debt Net Debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated as the face value of long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. Management believes Net Debt is useful to management and investors in determining the Company’s leverage position since the Company has the ability, and may decide, to use a portion of its cash and cash equivalents to reduce debt. Net Debt as of 6-30-21 was $1.125 B. Net Debt to TTM Adjusted EBITDA Net Debt to TTM Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Net Debt divided by trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management for various purposes, including as a measure of operating performance, in presentations to our board of directors and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting. Net Debt to TTM Consolidated EBITDAX (Credit Agreement Calculation) Net Debt to TTM Consolidated EBITDAX is calculated as Net Debt divided by trailing twelve-month Consolidated EBITDAX. Net Debt to Consolidated EBITDAX is used by the banks in our Senior Secured Credit Agreement as a measure of indebtedness and as a calculation to measure compliance with the Company’s leverage covenant. Cash Flow Cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents cash flows from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities, net. Free Cash Flow Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure, that we define as net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) before changes in operating assets and liabilities, net, less incurred capital expenditures, excluding non-budgeted acquisition costs. Free Cash Flow does not represent funds available for future discretionary use because it excludes funds required for future debt service, capital expenditures, acquisitions, working capital, income taxes, franchise taxes and other commitments and obligations. However, management believes Free Cash Flow is useful to management and investors in evaluating operating trends in our business that are affected by production, commodity prices, operating costs and other related factors. There are significant limitations to the use of Free Cash Flow as a measure of performance, including the lack of comparability due to the different methods of calculating Free Cash Flow reported by different companies. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of the forward-looking Free Cash Flow projection contained in this presentation to net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because we cannot reliably predict certain of the necessary components of net cash provided by operating activities, such as changes in working capital, without unreasonable efforts. Such unavailable reconciling information may be significant. 22 Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures
23 Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures PV-10 PV-10, a non-GAAP financial measure, is derived from the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. PV-10 is a computation of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows on a pre-tax basis. PV-10 is equal to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows at the applicable date, before deducting future income taxes, discounted at 10 percent. Management believes that the presentation of PV-10 is relevant and useful to investors because it presents the discounted future net cash flows attributable to the Company's estimated proved reserves prior to taking into account future corporate income taxes, and it is a useful measure for evaluating the relative monetary significance of the Company's proved oil, NGL and natural gas assets. Further, investors may utilize the measure as a basis for comparison of the relative size and value of proved reserves to other companies. The Company uses this measure when assessing the potential return on investment related to proved oil, NGL and natural gas assets. However, PV-10 is not a substitute for the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. The PV-10 measure and the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows do not purport to present the fair value of the Company's oil, NGL and natural gas reserves of the property. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of the forward-looking PV-10 projection contained in this presentation to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because we cannot reliably predict certain of the necessary components of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, such as reserve additions, extensions, price and performance revisions, and taxes outside of the normal year-end reserve evaluation process without unreasonable efforts. Such unavailable reconciling information may be significant.
