Any such adjustments could be material. These preliminary estimates should not be viewed as indicative of our financial condition or results as of or for any future period. Actual results could differ from the estimates, trends and expectations discussed herein, and such differences could be material.

* * *

As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $47.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $375.0 million borrowings outstanding under our five-year secured revolving credit facility (the “credit facility”), with $2.1 billion of borrowing capacity under the credit facility (net of $5.6 million in outstanding letters of credit).

* * *

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02 and Item 7.01 (including the Exhibits) shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act.

Permian Resources Announces $750.0 Million Private Placement of Senior Notes Due 2033

MIDLAND, TX—July 29, 2024—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Permian Resources Corporation (“Permian Resources,” “we,” “us” or “our”) (NYSE: PR) announced today that, subject to market conditions, Permian Resources Operating, LLC, a subsidiary of Permian Resources (the “Issuer”), intends to offer for sale in a private placement under Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to eligible purchasers $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2033 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Permian Resources and all of the Issuer’s subsidiaries that guarantee the Issuer’s obligations under its senior secured credit facility (the “credit facility”).

Concurrently with this offering, the Issuer commenced a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. The Tender Offer is made only by and pursuant to the terms of the Offer to Purchase, dated July 29, 2024. The Tender Offer is conditioned on the consummation of this offering, but this offering is not conditioned upon the completion of the Tender Offer. Subject to completion of the Tender Offer, we intend to redeem all 2026 Notes not purchased in the Tender Offer on or about February 15, 2025 at a redemption price of 100.000% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (the “Redemption”).

The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from this offering (i) to purchase for cash any and all of the Issuer’s outstanding 2026 Notes, pursuant to the Tender Offer, including any related premiums and expenses in connection therewith, (ii) to the extent any 2026 Notes remain outstanding after the Tender Offer, to fund the Redemption, (iii) to fund a portion of the purchase price for the recently announced acquisition of oil and gas properties, interests and related assets owned by certain affiliates of Occidental Petroleum Corporation (the “Acquisition”) and (iv) with any remaining net proceeds, to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under the credit facility.

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and, unless so registered, the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Issuer plans to offer and sell the Notes only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any of the Notes, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Holders of Notes must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Notes (or comply with the procedures for guaranteed delivery) before the Expiration Time to be eligible to receive the consideration for their Notes.

Settlement for all Notes tendered prior to the Expiration Time or pursuant to a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery is expected to be August 8, 2024, assuming that the Tender Offer is not extended or earlier terminated.

There can be no assurance that any Notes will be purchased.

Subject to completion of the Tender Offer, we intend to redeem all Notes not purchased in the Tender Offer on or about February 15, 2025 (the “Redemption”) at a redemption price of 100.000% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

Consistent with our strategy of pursuing sound M&A opportunities, this bolt-on acquisition adds core inventory which immediately competes for capital and is accretive to key metrics over both the short and long-term,” said James Walter, Co-CEO of Permian Resources. “Furthermore, the substantial midstream infrastructure and surface acres represent material value and will provide us with significant flexibility going forward.”

Financial Benefits

The transaction is attractively valued at approximately 3.4x 2025E EBITDAX1 and 17% free cash flow yield1, assuming a maintenance production profile and $75 per Bbl / $3.00 per MMBtu flat pricing. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to all key per share metrics, including cash flow, free cash flow and net asset value per share. The Company expects the transaction to deliver accretion to free cash flow per share1 of over 5% per year during the next two, five and ten-year periods. This is consistent with the Company’s disciplined acquisition strategy, pursuing transactions which provide significant accretion to all relevant per share metrics over the long-term.


Acquisition Overview

The acquired assets consist of approximately 29,500 net acres and 9,900 net royalty acres primarily located in Reeves County, Texas (27,500 net acres), in addition to Eddy County, New Mexico (2,000 net acres) for a total consideration of $817.5 million. The operated acreage position contains an average working interest of approximately 65% (8/8ths net revenue interest of ~80%) and is contiguous to the Company’s existing positions in both Texas and New Mexico. The acreage has minimal future drilling requirements and is approximately 99% held by production. Additionally, Permian Resources has identified over 200 gross operated, two-mile locations with high NRIs which immediately compete for capital, and Permian Resources expects to begin development on the acquired properties during the fourth quarter of 2024. Total production for the fourth quarter of 2024 is estimated to be approximately 15 MBoe/d (~55% oil).

The acquired assets in Reeves County also include a fully integrated midstream system, supporting superior economics and enhanced flexibility. Infrastructure on the acquired assets includes over 100 miles of operated oil and gas gathering systems and over 10,000 surface acres, in addition to complementary water infrastructure including saltwater disposal wells, a recycling facility, frac ponds and water wells. The midstream gathering infrastructure acquired in the transaction fully accommodates associated volumes, including incremental capacity for future growth or additional third-party volumes. These robust midstream assets and surface acreage provide the Company optionality to either retain to further enhance strong margins or monetize select assets at compelling valuations.

Financing and Liquidity Highlights

The Company intends to fund the acquisition, subject to market conditions and other factors, through proceeds from one or more capital markets transactions. Permian Resources anticipates that the financing of the acquisition will be leverage neutral on a forward looking and pro forma basis, allowing the Company to maintain a strong balance sheet with an expected year-end 2024 pro forma net debt-to-EBITDAX1 ratio of approximately 1x on a last quarter annualized basis, assuming strip prices.

Second Quarter 2024 Update

As of the date of this release, the Company has not finalized its financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2024. Based on preliminary information, Permian Resources estimates its average daily oil production volumes during the second quarter to be between 152.1 and 153.6 MBbls/d and its cash capital expenditures to be between $511 million and $522 million. Additionally, the Company expects its second quarter total controllable cash costs (LOE, GP&T and cash G&A) to be between $7.41 and $7.49 per Boe. The initial estimates of select operational and financial data for the second quarter of 2024 are preliminary estimates and, accordingly, remain subject to change which could be significant. As previously announced, the Company plans to release detailed results for the second quarter on August 6, 2024 and to discuss these results on a conference call scheduled for August 7, 2024.

We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to the exploration for and development, production, gathering and sale of oil, natural gas and NGLs. Factors which could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility (including regional basis differentials), uncertainty inherent in estimating oil, natural gas and NGL reserves, including the impact of commodity price declines on the economic producibility of such reserves, and in projecting future rates of production, geographic concentration of our operations, lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services, lack of transportation and storage capacity as a result of oversupply, government regulations or other factors, competition in the oil and natural gas industry for assets, materials, qualified personnel and capital, drilling and other operating risks, environmental and climate related risks, including seasonal weather conditions, regulatory changes including those that may result from the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision overturning the Chevron deference doctrine and that may impact environmental, energy, and natural resources regulation, restrictions on the use of water, including limits on the use of produced water and potential restrictions on the availability to water disposal facilities, availability to cash flow and access to capital, inflation, changes in our credit ratings or adverse changes in interest rates, changes in the financial strength of counterparties to our credit agreement and hedging contracts, the timing of development expenditures, political and economic conditions and events in foreign oil and natural gas producing countries, including embargoes, continued hostilities in the Middle East and other sustained military campaigns, including the conflict in Israel and its surrounding areas, the war in Ukraine and associated economic sanctions on Russia, conditions in South America, Central America, China and Russia, and acts of terrorism or sabotage, changes in local, regional, national, and international economic conditions, security threats, including evolving cybersecurity risks such as those involving unauthorized access, denial-of-service attacks, third-party service provider failures, malicious software, data privacy breaches by employees, insiders or other with authorized access, cyber or phishing-attacks, ransomware, social engineering, physical breaches or other actions, and the other risks described in our filings with the SEC.

Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data, and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this press release occur, or should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release.

1) EBITDAX, free cash flow, free cash flow yield and net debt-to-EBITDAX are non-GAAP financial measures. 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company has not provided reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP measures because the Company cannot


do so without unreasonable effort and any attempt to do so would be inherently imprecise. We are not able to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because of the unknown effect, timing, and potential significance of reconciling line items that are unavailable at this time. These items have in the past, and may in the future, significantly affect GAAP results in a particular period. Please see below for definitions and more information of these non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net income attributable to Class A Common Stock before net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairment and abandonment expense, non-cash gains or losses on derivatives, stock-based compensation (not cash-settled), exploration and other expenses, merger and integration expense, gain/loss from the sale of long-lived assets and other non-recurring items.

The Company defines free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as unlevered cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital in excess of cash capital expenditures and defines free cash flow yield, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as unlevered cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital in excess of cash capital expenditures divided by the value of the applicable transaction.

Net debt-to-EBITDAX is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines net debt as long-term debt, net, plus unamortized debt discount, premium and debt issuance costs on our senior notes minus cash and cash equivalents. The Company defines net debt-to-EBITDAX as net debt (defined above) divided by Adjusted EBITDAX (defined above).
