Investment in Laramie Energy As of March 31, 2025, we owned a 46.0% ownership interest in Laramie Energy, an entity focused on developing and producing natural gas in Garfield, Mesa, and Rio Blanco counties, Colorado. The balance of our investment in Laramie Energy was $13.2 million and $12.5 million as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively and is accounted for under the equity method as we have the ability to exert significant influence over, but do not control, its operating and financial policies. On February 21, 2023, Laramie Energy entered into a term loan agreement which provides a $205 million first lien term loan facility with $160.0 million funded at closing and an optional $45 million delayed draw commitment. The delayed draw commitment expired in August 2024. Under the terms of the term loan, Laramie is permitted to make future cash distributions to its owners, including us, subject to certain restrictions. Laramie Energy’s term loan matures on February 21, 2027. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the term loan had an outstanding balance of $160.0 million. At March 31, 2025, our equity in the underlying net assets of Laramie Energy exceeded the carrying value of our investment by approximately $63.1 million. This difference arose primarily due to other-than-temporary impairments of our equity investment in Laramie Energy recorded in prior years.
