Segment Information

Note 14 — Segment Information

From January 1, 2024 through March 18, 2024, the Company’s operations were managed through two operating segments: (i) Upstream Segment and (ii) CCS Segment. The CCS Segment was divested in March 2024. The Upstream Segment was the Company’s only reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) is the President and Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire company. A reportable segment is an operating segment that meets materiality thresholds. The 10% tests, as prescribed by the segment reporting accounting guidance, are based on the reported measures of revenue, profit, and assets that are used by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the CCS Segment did not meet any of the reportable segment quantitative thresholds. The profit or loss metric used to evaluate segment performance was Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined by the Company as net income (loss) plus interest expense; income tax expense (benefit); depreciation, depletion, and amortization; accretion expense; non-cash write-down of oil and natural gas properties; transaction and other (income) expenses; decommissioning obligations; the net change in the fair value of derivatives (mark to market effect, net of cash settlements and premiums related to these derivatives); (gain) loss on debt extinguishment; non-cash write-down of other well equipment; and non-cash equity-based compensation expense.

Corporate general and administrative expense includes certain shared costs such as finance, accounting, tax, human resources, information technology and legal costs that are not directly attributable to each operating segment. A portion of these expenses were allocated based on the percentage of employees dedicated to each operating segment. The remaining expenses are included in the reconciliation of reportable segment Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated pre-tax net income (loss) as an unallocated corporate general and administrative expense. From January 1, 2024 through March 18, 2024, the accounting policies of the segments were the same as those described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2023 Annual Report.

The Company’s CODM does not review assets by segment as part of the financial information provided and therefore, no asset information is provided in the table below.

The CCS Segment is included in the “All Other” category. The CCS Segment was an emerging business in the start-up phase of operations and the business did not generate any revenues. The CCS Segment’s business activities were conducted through both wholly owned subsidiaries and equity method investments with industry partners. CCS equity method investments was a business strategy that enabled us to achieve favorable economies of scale relative to the level of investment and business risk assumed.

See further discussion in Note 2 — Acquisitions and Divestitures and Note 9 — Employee Benefits Plans and Share-Based Compensation. Other income (expense) includes other miscellaneous income and expenses that we do not view as a meaningful indicator of our operating performance. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, it includes a gain of $86.9 million related to the TLCS Divestiture. See further discussion in Note 2 — Acquisitions and Divestitures. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, it includes a $8.6 million gain on the funding of the capital carry of its investment in Bayou Bend by Chevron.

Estimated decommissioning obligations were a result of working interest partners or counterparties of divestiture transactions that were unable to perform the required abandonment obligations due to bankruptcy or insolvency. See Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies for additional information on decommissioning obligations.
(3)
The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts (payments) on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net loss for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, which are recognized at the end of each accounting period because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges. This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDA on an unrealized basis during the period the derivatives settled.
