GLOSSARY OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS TERMS

Analogous Reservoir: Analogous reservoirs, as used in resource assessments, have similar rock and fluid properties, reservoir conditions (depth, temperature, and pressure) and drive mechanisms, but are typically at a more advanced stage of development than the reservoir of interest and thus may provide concepts to assist in the interpretation of more limited data and estimation of recovery. When used to support proved reserves, analogous reservoir refers to a reservoir that shares all of the following characteristics with the reservoir of interest: (i) the same geological formation (but not necessarily in pressure communication with the reservoir of interest); (ii) the same environment of deposition; (iii) similar geologic structure; and (iv) the same drive mechanism.

Bbl: One stock tank barrel, or 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume, used in reference to oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.

Bbl/d: One Bbl per day.

Bcfe: One billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent.

Boe: One barrel of oil equivalent, calculated by converting natural gas to oil equivalent barrels at a ratio of six Mcf of natural gas to one Bbl of oil.

BOEM: U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.

Btu: One British thermal unit, the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a one-pound mass of water by one degree Fahrenheit.

CO2: Carbon dioxide.

Development Project: A development project is the means by which petroleum resources are brought to the status of economically producible. As examples, the development of a single reservoir or field, an incremental development in a producing field or the integrated development of a group of several fields and associated facilities with a common ownership may constitute a development project.

Dry Hole or Dry Well: A well found to be incapable of producing hydrocarbons in sufficient quantities such that proceeds from the sale of such production would exceed production expenses and taxes.

Economically Producible: The term economically producible, as it relates to a resource, means a resource which generates revenue that exceeds, or is reasonably expected to exceed, the costs of the operation. For this determination, the value of the products that generate revenue are determined at the terminal point of oil and natural gas producing activities.

Exploitation: A development or other project which may target proven or unproven reserves (such as probable or possible reserves), but which generally has a lower risk than that associated with exploration projects.

Field: An area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs, all grouped on or related to the same individual geological structural feature and/or stratigraphic condition. The field name refers to the surface area, although it may refer to both the surface and the underground productive formations.

Gross Acres or Gross Wells: The total acres or wells, as the case may be, in which we have a working interest.

ICE: Inter-Continental Exchange.

MBbl: One thousand Bbls.

MBbls/d: One thousand Bbls per day.

MBoe: One thousand barrels of oil equivalent.

Table of Contents

MBoe/d: One thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day.

MMBoe: One million barrels of oil equivalent.

Mcf: One thousand cubic feet of natural gas.

Mcf/d: One Mcf per day.

MMBtu: One million Btu.

MMcf: One million cubic feet of natural gas.

MMcfe: One million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent.

MMcfe/d: One MMcfe per day.

Net Production: Production that is owned by us less royalties and production due to others.

NGLs: The combination of ethane, propane, butane and natural gasolines that, when removed from natural gas, become liquid under various levels of higher pressure and lower temperature.

NYMEX: New York Mercantile Exchange.

NYSE: New York Stock Exchange.

Oil: Oil and condensate.

Operator: The individual or company responsible for the exploration and/or production of an oil or natural gas well or lease.

OPIS: Oil Price Information Service.

Plugging and Abandonment: Refers to the sealing off of fluids in the strata penetrated by a well so that the fluids from one stratum will not escape into another stratum or to the surface. Regulations of all states require plugging of abandoned wells.

Probabilistic Estimate: The method of estimation of reserves or resources is called probabilistic when the full range of values that could reasonably occur for each unknown parameter (from the geoscience and engineering data) is used to generate a full range of possible outcomes and their associated probabilities of occurrence.

Proved Developed Reserves: Proved reserves that can be expected to be recovered from existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.

Proved Reserves: Those quantities of oil and natural gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible, from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations, prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced, or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project, within a reasonable time. The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes (i) the area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (ii) adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or natural gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data. In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons, as seen in a well penetration, unless geoscience, engineering or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty. Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil elevation and the potential exists for an associated natural gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty. Reserves

which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when (i) successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir, or an analogous reservoir or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and (ii) the project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities. Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price used is the average price during the twelve-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.

Realized Price: The cash market price less all expected quality, transportation and demand adjustments.

Reliable Technology: Reliable technology is a grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that has been field tested and has been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation.

Reserves: Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and natural gas or related substances to market and all permits and financing required to implement the project. Reserves should not be assigned to adjacent reservoirs isolated by major, potentially sealing, faults until those reservoirs are penetrated and evaluated as economically producible. Reserves should not be assigned to areas that are clearly separated from a known accumulation by a non-productive reservoir (i.e., absence of reservoir, structurally low reservoir or negative test results). Such areas may contain prospective resources (i.e., potentially recoverable resources from undiscovered accumulations).

Reservoir: A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible oil and/or natural gas that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual and separate from other reserves.

Resources: Resources are quantities of oil and natural gas estimated to exist in naturally occurring accumulations. A portion of the resources may be estimated to be recoverable and another portion may be considered unrecoverable. Resources include both discovered and undiscovered accumulations.

SEC: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

Working Interest: An interest in an oil and natural gas lease that gives the owner of the interest the right to drill for and produce oil and natural gas on the leased acreage and requires the owner to pay a share of the costs of drilling and production operations.

Workover: Operations on a producing well to restore or increase production.

WTI: West Texas Intermediate.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

​

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

General

Amplify Energy Corp. (“Amplify Energy,” “it” or the “Company”) is a publicly traded Delaware corporation whose common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “AMPY.”

The Company is engaged in the acquisition, development, exploitation and production of oil and natural gas properties located in Oklahoma, the Rockies, federal waters offshore Southern California, East Texas/North Louisiana and the Eagle Ford. The Company’s properties consist primarily of operated and non-operated working interests in producing and undeveloped leasehold acreage and working interests in identified producing wells.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the Company’s opinion, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for fair presentation. Material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The results reported in these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. Furthermore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements included in its 2021 Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, oil and natural gas reserves; fair value estimates; revenue recognition; and contingencies and insurance accounting.

Market Conditions and COVID-19

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments have tried to slow the spread of the virus by imposing social distancing guidelines, travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders, among other actions, which caused a significant decrease in activity in the global economy and the demand for oil and to a lesser extent natural gas and NGLs. As vaccines have become widely available, social distancing guidelines, travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders have eased, activity in the global economy has increased and demand for oil, natural gas and NGLs and related commodity pricing, has improved.

Additionally, oil, natural gas and NGLs prices increased during 2022 when compared to the same period of 2021 and, as a result, the Company experienced a significant increase in revenues. The Company continues to monitor the impact of the actions of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other large producing nations, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, global inventories of oil and gas and the uncertainty associated with recovering oil demand, inflation and future monetary policy, and governmental policies aimed at transitioning towards lower carbon energy. The Company expects prices for some or all of the commodities to remain volatile.

AMPLIFY ENERGY CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict continue to evolve, and the extent to which these events may impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence.

​

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s annual financial statements included in its 2021 Form 10-K.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

​

Note 3. Revenue

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue is recognized when the following five steps are completed: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligation (promise) in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, (5) recognize revenue when the reporting organization satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company has determined that its contracts for the sale of crude oil, unprocessed natural gas, residue gas and NGLs contain monthly performance obligations to deliver product at locations specified in the contract. Control is transferred at the delivery location, at which point the performance obligation has been satisfied and revenue is recognized. Fees included in the contract that are incurred prior to control transfer are classified as gathering, processing and transportation, and fees incurred after control transfers are included as a reduction to the transaction price. The transaction price at which revenue is recognized consists entirely of variable consideration based on quoted market prices less various fees and the quantity of volumes delivered.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company has identified three material revenue streams in its business: oil, natural gas and NGLs. The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by revenue stream.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Contract Balances

Under the Company’s sales contracts, the Company invoices customers once its performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, the Company’s contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities. Accounts receivable attributable to the Company’s revenue contracts with customers was $45.8 million at September 30, 2022 and $32.4 million at December 31, 2021.

​

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a specified measurement date. Fair value estimates are based on either (i) actual market data or (ii) assumptions that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including estimates of risk. A three-tier hierarchy has been established that classifies fair value amounts recognized or disclosed in the financial statements. The hierarchy considers fair value amounts based on observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) to be more reliable and predictable than those based primarily on unobservable inputs (Level 3). All the derivative instruments reflected on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were considered Level 2.

The carrying values of accounts receivables, accounts payables (including accrued liabilities), restricted investments and amounts outstanding under long-term debt agreements with variable rates included in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximated fair value at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The fair value estimates are based upon observable market data and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. These assets and liabilities are not presented in the following tables.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair market values of the derivative financial instruments reflected on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were based on estimated forward commodity prices. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The following tables present the gross derivative assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 for each of the fair value hierarchy levels:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, as reflected on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair values:

| ● | The fair value of asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) is based on discounted cash flow projections using numerous estimates, assumptions and judgments regarding factors such as the existence of a legal obligation for an ARO; amounts and timing of settlements; the credit-adjusted risk-free rate; and inflation rates. The initial fair value estimates are based on unobservable market data and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 6 for a summary of changes in AROs.

| ● | Proved oil and natural gas properties are reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate a possible decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of such properties. The Company uses an income approach based on the discounted cash flow method, whereby the present value of expected future net cash flows is discounted by applying an appropriate discount rate, for purposes of placing a fair value on the assets. The future cash flows are based on management’s estimates for the future. The unobservable inputs used to determine fair value include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved reserves, estimates of probable reserves, future commodity prices, the timing of future production and capital expenditures and a discount rate commensurate with the risk reflective of the lives remaining for the respective oil and natural gas properties (some of which are Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy).

| ● | No impairment expense recorded on proved oil and natural gas properties during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

​

Note 5. Risk Management and Derivative Instruments

Derivative instruments are utilized to manage exposure to commodity price and interest rate fluctuations and to achieve a more predictable cash flow in connection with natural gas and oil sales and borrowing related activities. These instruments limit exposure to declines in prices but also limit the benefits that would be realized if prices increase.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Certain inherent business risks are associated with commodity derivative contracts, including market risk and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the price of natural gas or oil will change, either favorably or unfavorably, in response to changing market conditions. Credit risk is the risk of loss from nonperformance by the counterparty to a contract. It is the Company’s policy to enter into derivative contracts only with creditworthy counterparties, which generally are financial institutions, deemed by management as competent and competitive market makers. Some of the lenders, or certain of their affiliates, under the Company’s current credit agreements are counterparties to its derivative contracts. While collateral is generally not required to be posted by counterparties, credit risk associated with derivative instruments is minimized by limiting exposure to any single counterparty and entering into derivative instruments only with creditworthy counterparties that are generally large financial institutions. Additionally, master netting agreements are used to mitigate risk of loss due to default with counterparties on derivative instruments. The Company has also entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with each of its counterparties. The terms of the ISDA Agreements provide the Company and each of its counterparties with rights of set-off upon the occurrence of defined acts of default by either the Company or its counterparty to a derivative, whereby the party not in default may set-off all liabilities owed to the defaulting party against all net derivative asset receivables from the defaulting party. See Note 7 for additional information regarding the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below).

Commodity Derivatives

The Company may use a combination of commodity derivatives (e.g., floating-for-fixed swaps, put options, costless collars and three-way collars) to manage exposure to commodity price volatility. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments at fair value.

The Company enters into natural gas derivative contracts that are indexed to NYMEX-Henry Hub. The Company also enters into oil derivative contracts indexed to NYMEX-WTI. The Company’s NGL derivative contracts are primarily indexed to OPIS Mont Belvieu.

Revolving Credit Facility

OLLC, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, is a party to a reserve-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), subject to a borrowing base of $225.0 million as of September 30, 2022, which is guaranteed by the Company and all of its current subsidiaries. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on November 2, 2023. The Company’s borrowing base under its Revolving Credit Facility is subject to redetermination on at least a semi-annual basis, primarily based on a reserve engineering report.

On June 20, 2022, OLLC entered into the Borrowing Base Redetermination Agreement and Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement, among OLLC, Amplify Acquisitionco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent (the “Sixth Amendment”). The Sixth Amendment amends the Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things:

| ● | terminate the automatic monthly reductions of the borrowing base;

| ● | reaffirm the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility at $225.0 million; and

| ● | modify the affirmative hedging covenant.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all the financial (current ratio and total leverage ratio) and non-financial covenants associated with its Revolving Credit Facility.

Paycheck Protection Program

On April 24, 2020, the Company received a $5.5 million from the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan was established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act to provide loans to qualifying businesses. The PPP Loan was not part of the Revolving Credit Facility as described above. The loan and accrued interest were potentially forgivable provided that the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes. The term of the Company’s PPP Loan was two years with an annual interest rate of 1% and no payments of principal or interest due during the six-month period beginning on the date of the PPP Loan. The Company applied for forgiveness of the amount due on the PPP Loan based on spending the loan proceeds on eligible expenses as defined by the statute. On June 22, 2021, KeyBank notified the Company that the PPP Loan had been approved for full and complete forgiveness by the Small Business Association. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company reported a gain on extinguishment of debt of $5.5 million for the PPP Loan forgiveness in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 10. Long-Term Incentive Plans

In May 2021, the shareholders approved a new Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”) in which the Legacy Amplify Management Incentive Plan (the “Legacy Amplify MIP”) and the Legacy Amplify 2017 Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan (the “Legacy Amplify Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan”) were replaced by the EIP and no further awards will be allowed to be granted under the Legacy Amplify MIP or the Legacy Amplify Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan. As of September 30, 2022, an aggregate of 1,533,291 shares were available for future grants under the EIP.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted Stock Units with Service Vesting Condition

The restricted stock units with service vesting conditions (“TSUs”) are accounted for as equity-classified awards. The grant-date fair value is recognized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. Compensation costs are recorded as general and administrative expense. The unrecognized cost associated with the TSUs was $4.3 million at September 30, 2022. The Company expects to recognize the unrecognized compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.9 years.

TSUs outstanding at September 30, 2022 |  | 1,547,998 | ​ | $ | 3.87

| (1) | Determined by dividing the aggregate grant-date fair value of awards by the number of awards issued.

| (2) | The aggregate grant-date fair value of TSUs issued for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $3.9 million based on a grant date market price ranging from $3.64 to $6.99 per share.

Restricted Stock Units with Market and Service Vesting Conditions

The restricted stock units with market and service vesting conditions (“PSUs”) are accounted for as equity-classified awards. The grant-date fair value is recognized as compensation cost on a graded-vesting basis. As such, the Company recognizes compensation cost over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of the award as though the award were, in substance, multiple awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Compensation costs are recorded as general and administrative expense. The unrecognized cost related to the PSUs was less than $0.1 million at September 30, 2022. The Company expects to recognize the unrecognized compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.7 years.

The PSUs will vest based on the satisfaction of service and market vesting conditions, with market vesting based on the Company’s achievement of certain share price targets. The PSUs are subject to service-based vesting such that 50% of the PSUs service vest on the applicable market vesting date and an additional 25% of the PSUs service vest on each of the first and second anniversaries of the applicable market vesting date.

In the event of a qualifying termination, subject to certain conditions, (i) all PSUs that have satisfied the market vesting conditions will fully service vest, upon such termination, and (ii) if the termination occurs between the second and third anniversaries of the grant date, then PSUs that have not market vested as of the termination will market vest to the extent that the share targets (in each case, reduced by $0.25) are achieved as of such termination. Subject to the foregoing, any unvested PSUs will be forfeited upon termination of employment.

A Monte Carlo simulation was used in order to determine the fair value of these awards at the grant date.

The following table summarizes information regarding the PSUs granted under the EIP for the period presented:

Restricted Stock Units with Market Vesting Conditions

The restricted stock units with performance-based vesting conditions (“PRSUs”) are accounted for as equity-classified awards. The grant-date fair value is recognized as compensation cost on a graded-vesting basis. As such, the Company recognizes compensation cost over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of the award as though the award were, in substance, multiple awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Compensation costs are recorded as general and administrative expense.

The 2022 PRSUs were issued with a three year vesting period beginning on the grant date and ending on the third anniversary of the grant date. Vesting of PRSUs can range from zero to 200% of the target units granted based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of the Company’s performance peer group over the performance period. The fair value of each PRSU award was estimated on their grant dates using a Monte Carlo simulation. The unrecognized cost associated with the PRSUs was $1.0 million at September 30, 2022. The Company expects to recognize the unrecognized compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.2 years.

The 2021 PRSUs awards were issued collectively in separate tranches with individual performances periods beginning in January 2021, 2022, and 2023 respectively. For each of the 2021 PRSUs awards the performance period, will vest based on the percentage of the target PRSUs subject to the performance vesting condition, with 25% able to vest during the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021; 25% able to vest during the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 and 50% able to vest during the period of January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.

The ranges for the assumptions used in the Monte Carlo model for the PRSUs granted during 2022 are presented as follows:

Expected volatility | ​ | 120.8 | %

2017 Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan

In June 2017, Legacy Amplify implemented the Legacy Amplify Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan to attract and retain the services of experienced non-employee directors of Legacy Amplify or its subsidiaries. In connection with the closing of the merger, on August 6, 2019, the Company assumed the Legacy Amplify Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan. As noted above, the Legacy Amplify Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan was replaced by the EIP in May 2021.

Note 11. Leases

The Company has leases for office space and equipment in its corporate office and operating regions as well as warehouse space, vehicles, compressors and surface rentals related to its business operations. In addition, the Company has offshore Southern California pipeline right-of-way use agreements. Most of the Company’s leases, other than its corporate office lease, have an initial term and may be extended on a month-to-month basis after expiration of the initial term. Most of the Company’s leases can be terminated with 30-day prior written notice. The majority of its month-to-month leases are not included as a lease liability in its balance sheet under ASC 842 because continuation of the lease is not reasonably certain. Additionally, the Company elected the short-term practical expedient to exclude leases with a term of twelve months or less. For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, all of the Company’s leases qualified as operating leases and it did not have any existing or new leases qualifying as financing leases or variable leases.

The Company’s corporate office lease does not provide an implicit rate. To determine the present value of the lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the inception date. To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company applies a portfolio approach based on the applicable lease terms and the current economic environment. The Company uses a reasonable market interest rate for its office equipment and vehicle leases.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized approximately $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of costs relating to the operating leases in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Environmental

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $8.0 million contingent liabilities recorded in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements associated with any litigation, pending or threatened. See additional information regarding the Incident below.

Although the Company is insured against various risks to the extent it believes it is prudent, there is no assurance that the nature and amount of such insurance will be adequate, in every case, to indemnify it against liabilities arising from future legal proceedings.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no environmental reserves recorded in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Southern California Pipeline Incident

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are named defendants in a putative class action pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and certain forms of injunctive relief. The Company is also participating in a related claims process organized under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, 33 U.S.C. § 2701 et seq. (“OPA 90”). Under OPA 90, a party alleged to be responsible for a discharge of oil is required to establish a claims process to pay for interim costs and damages as a result of the discharge. The OPA 90 claims process remains ongoing.

On August 25, 2022, the Company reached an agreement in principle with plaintiffs in the class action to resolve all civil claims against it and its subsidiaries. The settlement of $50.0 million, which also includes certain injunctive relief, will be funded under the Company’s insurance policies, and the final agreement will be subject to court approval. On October 17, 2022, counsel to the putative class filed a motion for preliminary approval of the final settlement agreement; that motion is noticed for a hearing with the Court on November 16, 2022.

On August 26, 2022, the Company reached an agreement with the United States government, which the court has approved, to resolve all federal criminal matters involving the Company and its subsidiaries stemming from Incident. As part of the resolution with the United States, the Company agreed to plead guilty to one count of misdemeanor negligent discharge of oil in violation of the Clean Water Act. The Company will pay a fine of approximately $7.1 million in installments over a period of three years, serve a term of four years’ probation and reimburse governmental agencies approximately $5.8 million for their response to this event. The Company also has agreed to implement certain compliance measures including installation of a new leak detection system and increased Remote Operated Vehicle inspections of the pipeline.

On September 8, 2022, the Company reached an agreement with the state of California to resolve all related state criminal matters. As part of the resolution with the state of California, which also has court approval, the Company agreed to enter a plea of No Contest to six misdemeanor charges. The Company will pay a fine in the amount of $4.9 million to be distributed among the state of California, including the State’s Fish and Game Preservation Fund, and Orange County. The Company also will serve a one-year term of probation and has agreed to certain compliance enhancements to its operations.

Future litigation may be necessary, among other things, to defend the Company by determining the scope, enforceability, and validity of claims. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Minimum Volume Commitment

The Company is party to a gas purchase, gathering and processing contract in Oklahoma, which includes certain minimum NGL commitments. To the extent the Company does not deliver natural gas volumes in sufficient quantities to generate, when processed, the minimum levels of recovered NGLs, it would be required to reimburse the counterparty an amount equal to the sum of the monthly shortfall, if any, multiplied by a fee. The Company is not meeting the minimum volume required under this contractual provision. The commitment fee expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $0.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The minimum volume commitment for Oklahoma ends on June 30, 2023.

The Company is party to a gas purchase, gathering and processing contract in East Texas, which includes certain minimum gas commitments. The Company is not meeting the minimum volume required under this contractual provision. The commitment fee expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, was approximately $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The minimum volume commitment for East Texas ends on November 30, 2022.

Sinking Fund Trust Agreement

Beta Operating Company, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, assumed an obligation with a third party to make payments into a sinking fund in connection with its 2009 acquisition of the Company properties in federal waters offshore Southern California, the purpose of which is to provide funds adequate to decommission the portion of the San Pedro Bay Pipeline that lies within state waters and the surface facilities. Under the terms of the agreement, the operator of the properties is obligated to make monthly deposits into the sinking fund account in an amount equal to $0.25 per barrel of oil and other liquid hydrocarbon produced from the acquired working interest. Interest earned in the account stays in the account. The obligation to fund ceases when the aggregate value of the account reaches $4.3 million. As of September 30, 2022, the account balance included in restricted investments was approximately $4.3 million.

Supplemental Bond for Decommissioning Liabilities Trust Agreement

Beta Operating Company, LLC (“Beta”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has an obligation with the BOEM in connection with its 2009 acquisition of the Company’s properties in federal waters offshore Southern California. The Company supports this obligation with $161.3 million of A-rated surety bonds. As of September 30, 2022, the account balance included in restricted investments was $5.7 million.

​

Note 15. Income Taxes

The Company had no income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are different from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate primarily due to the Company’s recorded valuation allowances.

In August 2022, the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) was enacted into law. The IRA contains a number of revisions to the Internal Revenue Code, including a 15% corporate minimum income tax, expanded tax credits for clean energy incentives, and a 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchase in tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The IRA did not have a material impact on the Company’s current year tax provision.

Note 16. Southern California Pipeline Incident

On October 2, 2021, contractors operating under the direction of Beta, a subsidiary of Amplify, observed an oil sheen on the water approximately four miles off the coast of Newport Beach, California (the “Incident”). Beta platform personnel were notified and promptly initiated the Company’s Oil Spill Response Plan, which was reviewed and approved by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement’s Oil Spill Preparedness Division within the United States Department of the Interior, and which included the required notifications of specified regulatory agencies. On October 3, 2021, a Unified Command, consisting of the Company, the U.S. Coast Guard and California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response, was established to respond to the Incident.

On October 5, 2021, the Unified Command announced that reports from its contracted commercial divers and Remotely Operated Vehicle footage indicated that a 4,000-foot section of the Company’s pipeline had been displaced with a maximum lateral movement of approximately 105 feet and that the pipeline had a 13-inch split, running parallel to the pipe. On October 14, 2021, the U.S. Coast Guard announced that it had a high degree of confidence the size of the release was approximately 588 barrels of oil, which is below the previously reported maximum estimate of 3,134 barrels. On October 16, 2021, the U.S. Coast Guard announced that it had identified the Mediterranean Shipping Company (DANIT) as a “vessel of interest” and its owner Dordellas Finance Corporation and operator Mediterranean Shipping Company, S.A. as parties in interest in connection with an anchor-dragging incident, in January 2021 (the “Anchor Dragging Incident”), which occurred in close proximity to the Company’s pipeline, and that additional vessels of interest continued to be investigated. On November 19, 2021, the U.S. Coast Guard announced that it had identified the COSCO (Beijing) as another vessel involved in the Anchor Dragging Incident and named its owner Capetanissa Maritime Corporation of Liberia and its operator V.Ships Greece Ltd. as parties in interest. The cause, timing and details regarding the Incident remain under investigation.

At the height of the Incident response, the Company deployed over 1,800 personnel working under the guidance and at the direction of the Unified Command to aid in cleanup operations. As of October 14, 2021, all beaches that had been closed following the Incident have reopened. On February 2, 2022, the Unified Command announced that response and monitoring efforts have officially concluded for the Incident, and Unified Command would stand down as of such date. Amplify is grateful to its Unified Command partners for their collaboration and professionalism over the course of the response.

In response to the Incident, all operations have been suspended and the pipeline has been shut-in until the Company receives the required regulatory approvals to begin operations. On October 4, 2021, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) issued a Corrective Action Order (CAO) pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 60112, which makes clear that no restart of the affected pipeline may occur until PHMSA has approved a written restart plan. Additionally, the California Coastal Commission requested approval from the Office of Coastal Management for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) to conduct a Coastal Zone Management Act consistency review of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit (NWP) 12 application for the proposed permanent repair permit; on April 7, 2022, NOAA denied that request. On September 30, 2022, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued the NWP 12 permit. As of November 1, 2022, the permanent repairs are ongoing. The Company is working expeditiously and cooperatively to comply with the requirements of the relevant agencies in order to gain any other regulatory approvals that are necessary to restart operations. As a result of the uncertainties related to the regulatory approval process, the Company can provide no assurances as to whether and when, if at all, operation will restart at the Beta field. At present, no operations are underway in the Beta field.

On December 15, 2021, a federal grand jury in the Central District of California returned a federal criminal indictment against Amplify Energy Corp., Beta Operating Company, LLC, and San Pedro Bay Pipeline Company in connection with the Incident. The indictment alleges that the Company committed a misdemeanor violation of the federal Clean Water Act for negligently discharging oil into the contiguous zone of the United States. As previously disclosed, state authorities were conducting parallel criminal investigations. As noted above, the Company has reached court approved agreements to resolve all criminal matters stemming from the incident.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company is currently subject to a number of ongoing investigations related to the Incident by certain federal and state agencies. To date, the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, the U.S. Department of Justice, PHMSA, the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, the California Department of Justice, the Orange County District Attorney, the Los Angeles County District Attorney, and the California Department of Fish & Wildlife have conducted or are conducting investigations or examinations of the Incident. On April 8, 2022, in light of the allegations raised in the December 15, 2021 federal indictment, the Company received a Show Cause Notice from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) asking the Company to provide information as to why it should not be suspended from participating in future Federal contracting and assisting activities pursuant to 2 C.F.R. § 180.700(a), (c) and 2 C.F.R. § 180.800(a)(4). On April 22, 2022, the Company responded to the Show Cause Notice. On September 9, 2022, the EPA informed the Company’s counsel that the EPA has administratively closed the case at this time, and as such, the Company is no longer under a Show Cause Notice. Other federal agencies may or have commenced investigations and proceedings, and may initiate enforcement actions seeking penalties and other relief under the Clean Water Act and other statutes. Amplify continues to comply with all regulatory requirements and investigations. The outcomes of these investigations and the nature of any remedies pursued will depend on the discretion of the relevant authorities and may result in regulatory or other enforcement actions, as well as civil liability.

The Company and two subsidiaries have been named as defendants in a consolidated putative class action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated class action complaint on January 28, 2022 and an amended complaint on March 21, 2022. Plaintiffs assert claims against the Company, Beta Operating Company, LLC, San Pedro Bay Pipeline Company, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, Dordellas Finance Corp., the MSC Danit (proceeding in rem), Costamare Shipping Co. S.A., Capetanissa Maritime Corporation of Liberia, V.Ships Greece Ltd., and the COSCO Beijing (proceeding in rem). The Company filed a third-party complaint on February 28, 2022, an amended complaint on June 21, 2022, and second amended complaint on October 5, 2022. The Company has sued the same shipping defendants and has added claims against the Marine Exchange of Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor, COSCO Shipping Lines Co. Ltd., COSCO (Cayman) Mercury Co. Ltd., Mediterranean Shipping Company S.r.l., and MSC Shipmanagement Limited. The Company has moved to dismiss the Plaintiffs’ complaint, and the Marine Exchange of Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor and certain of the shipping defendants have moved to dismiss the Company’s complaint. On October 3, 2022, the Court denied several of the motions to dismiss filed by certain shipping defendants; other motions to dismiss remain pending.

Further, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, Dordellas Finance Corp., and Capetanissa Maritime Corporation of Liberia have filed petitions for limitations of liability under maritime law in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The court consolidated the limitation actions into a single limitation action and also coordinated discovery between the consolidated limitation and the consolidated class actions. Discovery is ongoing, and the Court has set a trial for April 24, 2023 in that proceeding. Resolution of the civil litigation may take considerable time, and it is not possible at this time to estimate the Company’s potential liability resulting from these actions.

As noted above, on August 25, 2022, the Company reached an agreement in principle with plaintiffs in the class action to resolve all civil claims against it and its subsidiaries. The settlement of $50.0 million, which also includes certain injunctive relief, will be funded under the Company’s insurance policies, and the final agreement will be subject to court approval. On October 17, 2022, counsel to the putative class filed a motion for preliminary approval of the final settlement agreement; that motion is noticed for a hearing with the Court on November 16, 2022.

Under the OPA 90, the Company’s pipeline was designated by the U.S. Coast Guard as the source of the oil discharge and therefore the Company is financially responsible for remediation and for certain costs and economic damages as provided for in OPA 90, as well as certain natural resource damages associated with the spill and certain costs determined by federal and state trustees engaged in a joint assessment of such natural resource damages. The Company is currently processing covered claims under OPA 90 as expeditiously as possible. In addition, the Natural Resource Damage Assessment remains ongoing and therefore the extent, timing and cost related to such assessment are difficult to project. While the Company anticipates insurance will reimburse it for expenses related to the Natural Resource Damage Assessment, any potentially uncovered expenses may be material and could impact the Company’s business and results of operations and could put pressure on its liquidity position going forward.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On August 26, 2022, the Company reached an agreement with the United States government, subject to court review and approval, to resolve all federal criminal matters involving the Company and its subsidiaries stemming from Incident. As part of the resolution with the United States, the Company agreed to plead guilty to one count of misdemeanor negligent discharge of oil in violation of the Clean Water Act. The Court approved the plea. The Company will pay a fine of approximately $7.1 million in installments over a period of three years, serve a term of four years’ probation and reimburse governmental agencies approximately $5.8 million for their response to this event.

On September 8, 2022, as part of the resolution with the state of California, the Company agreed to enter a plea of No Contest to six misdemeanor charges. The Company will pay a fine in the amount of $4.9 million to be distributed among the state of California, including the State’s Fish and Game Preservation Fund, and Orange County. The Company will serve a one-year term of probation and has agreed to certain compliance enhancements to its operations.

Based on presently enacted laws and regulations and currently available facts, the Company estimates that the total costs it has incurred or will incur with respect to the Incident to be approximately $120.0 million to $140.0 million, which includes (i) actual and projected response and remediation under the direction of the Unified Command, (ii) estimated fines and penalties of $12.0 million resulting from the resolution of the federal and state of California matters discussed above, and (iii) certain legal fees.

The range of total costs is based on the Company’s assumptions regarding (i) settlement of costs associated with certain vendors for response and remediation expenses, (ii) resolution of certain third-party claims, excluding claims with respect to losses, which are not probable or reasonably estimable, and (iii) future claims and lawsuits. While the Company believes it has accurately reflected all probable and reasonably estimable costs incurred in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations, these estimates are subject to uncertainties associated with the underlying assumptions. For example, settlements with vendors for response and remediation expenses may be significantly higher or lower than the Company has currently estimated. Accordingly, as the Company’s assumptions and estimates may change in future periods based on future events, the Company can provide no assurance that total costs will not materially change in future periods.

The Company’s estimates do not include (i) the nature, extent and cost of future legal services that will be required in connection with all lawsuits, claims and other matters requiring legal or expert advice associated with the Incident, (ii) any lost revenue associated with the suspension of operations at Beta, (iii) any liabilities or costs that are not reasonably estimable at this time or that relate to contingencies where the Company currently regards the likelihood of loss as being only reasonably possible or remote and (iv) the costs associated with the permanent repair of the pipeline and the restart of the Beta operations.

In accordance with customary insurance practice, the Company maintains insurance policies, including loss of production income insurance, against many potential losses or liabilities arising from its operations and at costs that the Company believes to be economic. The Company regularly reviews its risk of loss and the cost and availability of insurance and revises its insurance accordingly. The Company’s insurance does not cover every potential risk associated with its operations and is subject to certain exclusions and deductibles. While the Company expects its insurance policies will cover a material portion of the total aggregate costs associated with the Incident, including but not limited to response and remediation expenses, defense costs and loss of revenue resulting from suspended operations, it can provide no assurance that its coverage will adequately protect it against liability from all potential consequences, damages and losses related to the Incident and such view and understanding is preliminary and subject to change.

On September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company’s insurance receivables were $30.6 million and $49.1 million, respectively. Excluding the costs associated with the resolution of the federal and state matters discussed above, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred response and remediation expenses and legal fees of $28.3 million. Of these costs, the Company has received, or expects that it is probable that it will receive, $20.0 million in insurance recoveries. The remaining amount of $8.3 million, which primarily relates to certain legal costs that are not expected to be recovered under an insurance policy, are classified as “Pipeline Incident Loss” on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company received $38.5 million in insurance recoveries.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes in “Item 1. Financial Statements” contained herein and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Form 10-K”). The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the front of this report.

Overview

We operate in one reportable segment engaged in the acquisition, development, exploitation and production of oil and natural gas properties. Our management evaluates performance based on the reportable business segment as the economic environments are not different within the operation of our oil and natural gas properties. Our business activities are conducted through OLLC, our wholly owned subsidiary, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Our assets consist primarily of producing oil and natural gas properties and are located in Oklahoma, the Rockies, federal waters offshore Southern California, East Texas / North Louisiana and the Eagle Ford. Our properties consist primarily of operated and non-operated working interests in producing and undeveloped leasehold acreage and working interests in identified producing wells.

Industry Trends

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments have tried to slow the spread of the virus by imposing social distancing guidelines, travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders, among other actions, which caused a significant decrease in activity in the global economy and the demand for oil and to a lesser extent natural gas and NGLs. As vaccines have become widely available, social distancing guidelines, travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders have eased, activity in the global economy has increased and demand for oil, natural gas and NGLs and related commodity pricing, has improved.

Additionally, oil, natural gas and NGLs prices increased in 2022 when compared to the same period of 2021 and, as a result, we experienced an increase in revenues. We continue to monitor the impact of the actions of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other large producing nations, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, global inventories of oil and gas and the uncertainty associated with recovering oil demand, inflation and future monetary policy, and governmental policies aimed at transitioning towards lower carbon energy. We expect prices for some or all of the commodities to remain volatile. The COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict continue to evolve, and the extent to which these events may impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence.

Agreement with Prosecutors to Resolve Matters Associated with Southern California Pipeline incident

On August 26, 2022, we reached an agreement with the United States government, which the court has approved, to resolve all federal criminal matters involving us and our subsidiaries stemming from the Incident. As part of the resolution with the United States, we have agreed to plead guilty to one count of misdemeanor negligent discharge of oil in violation of the Clean Water Act. We will pay a fine of approximately $7.1 million in installments over a period of three years, serve a term of four years’ probation and reimburse governmental agencies approximately $5.8 million for their response to this event. We also have agreed to implement certain compliance measures including installation of a new leak detection system and increased Remote Operated Vehicle inspections of the pipeline.

On September 8, 2022, we reached an agreement with the state of California to resolve all related state criminal matters. As part of the resolution with the state of California, which also has court approval, we agreed to enter a plea of No Contest to six misdemeanor charges. We will pay a fine in the amount of $4.9 million to be distributed among the state of California, including the State’s Fish and Game Preservation Fund, and Orange County. We will also serve a one-year term of probation and have agreed to certain compliance enhancements to its operations.

Business Environment and Operational Focus

We use a variety of financial and operational metrics to assess the performance of our oil and natural gas operations, including: (i) production volumes; (ii) realized prices on the sale of our production; (iii) cash settlements on our commodity derivatives; (iv) lease operating expense; (v) gathering, processing and transportation; (vi) general and administrative expense; and (vii) Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below).

Sources of Revenues

Our revenues are derived from the sale of natural gas and oil production, as well as the sale of NGLs that are extracted from natural gas during processing. Production revenues are derived entirely from the continental United States. Natural gas, NGL and oil prices are inherently volatile and are influenced by many factors outside our control. In order to reduce the impact of fluctuations in natural gas and oil prices on revenues, we intend to periodically enter into derivative contracts that fix the future prices received. At the end of each period, the fair value of these commodity derivative instruments is estimated and because hedge accounting is not elected, the changes in the fair value of unsettled commodity derivative instruments are recognized in earnings at the end of each accounting period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies and estimates, including a discussion regarding the estimation uncertainty and the impact that our critical accounting estimates have had, or are reasonably likely to have, on our financial condition or results of operations, are described in Item 7., “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2021 Form 10-K. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, oil and natural gas reserves; fair value estimates; revenue recognition; and contingencies and insurance accounting. These estimates, in our opinion, are subjective in nature, require the use of professional judgment and involve complex analysis.

When used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, such estimates are based on our current knowledge and understanding of the underlying facts and circumstances and may be revised as a result of actions we take in the future. Changes in these estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Subsequent changes in these estimates may have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

Net income of $47.2 million and a net loss of $13.5 million were recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Oil, natural gas and NGL revenues were $112.8 million and $96.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Average net production volumes were approximately 21.0 MBoe/d and 25.1 MBoe/d for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in production volumes was primarily due to the suspension of operations at our Beta properties and natural declines. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, production from our Beta properties was 3.7 MBoe/d. The average realized sales price was $58.31 per Boe and $41.89 per Boe for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in average realized sales price was primarily due to the increase in commodity prices.

Other revenues were $13.5 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $13.3 million of LOPI proceeds related to the suspension of operations at our Beta properties resulting from the Incident which includes three months of LOPI.

Lease operating expense was $32.0 million and $34.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in lease operating expense was primarily related to a decrease of $5.4 million at our Beta properties, mainly due to the suspension of operations, offset by an increase of $2.9 million related to inflation across our other assets. On a per Boe basis, lease operating expense was $16.56 and $14.92 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in lease operating expense on a per Boe basis was mainly due to the higher aggregate costs noted above and lower production.

Gathering, processing and transportation was $7.5 million and $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to marketing our own natural gas in Oklahoma starting in October 2021. Marketing our own natural gas in Oklahoma has greatly improved our natural gas differentials, but we must now recognize certain revenue deductions as gathering, processing and transportation expenses on a go-forward basis. On a per Boe basis, gathering, processing and transportation was $3.87 and $2.18 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change on a per BOE basis is primarily related to the marketing changes discussed above.

Taxes other than income were $9.2 million and $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in taxes other than income is due to an increase in production taxes as a result of the increase in commodity prices. On a per Boe basis, taxes other than income were $4.73 and $2.61 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in taxes other than income on a per Boe basis was primarily due to the increase in commodity prices.

Depreciation, depletion & amortization (“DD&A expense”) was $6.3 million and $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in DD&A expense was primarily due to a decrease in production of 376 MBoe, which equates to a decrease of approximately $1.1 million offset by an increase of $0.4 million in our depletion rate.

General and administrative expense was $7.0 million and $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in general and administrative expense was primarily related to an increase of $0.5 million in salaries and other payroll benefits and an increase of $0.2 million in stock compensation expense offset with a decrease of $0.1 million in legal expense.

Net gain on commodity derivative instruments of $3.3 million were recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2022, consisting of a $44.1 million increase in the fair value of open positions and $40.8 million of cash settlements paid on expired positions. Net loss on commodity derivative instruments of $46.7 million was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2021, consisting of a $24.1 million decrease in the fair value of open positions and $22.6 million of cash settlements paid on expired positions. The change in commodity derivative instruments is primarily related to the rolling off of out-of-the-money commodity hedges and increased commodity prices.

Pipeline incident loss was $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The $2.6 million reflects certain legal expenses that are not expected to be recovered under an insurance policy. No expense was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2021. See Note 16 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this quarterly report for additional information.

Table of Contents

Pipeline incident settlement was $12.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, related to the resolution of the federal and state of California matters discussed in Note 16 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this quarterly report. No expense was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Interest expense, net was $4.0 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We had an increase of $1.1 million in interest expense due to higher interest rates on our Revolving Credit Facility offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in the change of our interest rate swaps.

Average outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility were $214.9 million and $234.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

Net income of $27.8 million and a net loss of $67.8 million were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Oil, natural gas and NGL revenues were $319.6 million and $249.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Average net production volumes were approximately 20.6 MBoe/d and 25.0 MBoe/d for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in production volumes was primarily due to the suspension of operations at our Beta properties and natural declines. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, production from our Beta properties was 3.6 MBoe/d. The average realized sales price was $56.76 per Boe and $36.51 per Boe for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in average realized sales price was primarily due to the increase in commodity prices.

Other revenues were $39.9 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $39.6 million of LOPI proceeds related to the suspension of operations at our Beta properties resulting from the Incident which includes nine months of LOPI.

Lease operating expense was $98.3 million and $92.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in lease operating expenses was primarily related to a $7.3 million increase in lease operating expenses due to inflation and a $5.9 million increase in our workover expenses primarily in Wyoming and Oklahoma. The increase was offset by a decrease of $6.9 million in lease operating expense at our Beta properties, mainly due to the suspension of operations. On a per Boe basis, lease operating expense was $17.45 and $13.47 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in lease operating expense on a per Boe basis was due to the higher aggregate costs noted above and lower production.

Gathering, processing and transportation was $22.8 million and $14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to marketing our own natural gas in Oklahoma starting in October 2021. Marketing our own natural gas in Oklahoma has greatly improved our natural gas differentials, but we must now recognize certain revenue deductions as gathering, processing and transportation expenses on a go-forward basis. On a per Boe basis, gathering, processing and transportation was $4.05 and $2.15 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change on a per BOE basis primarily related to the marketing changes discussed above.

Taxes other than income were $25.3 million and $15.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in taxes other than income is due to an increase in production taxes as a result of the increase in commodity prices. On a per Boe basis, taxes other than income were $4.50 and $2.30 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in taxes other than income on a per Boe basis was primarily due to the increase in commodity prices.

DD&A expense was $17.8 million and $21.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in DD&A expense was primarily due to a decrease in production of 1,201 MBoe, which equates to a decrease of approximately $3.8 million and a decrease of $0.1 million in our depletion rate.

Table of Contents

General and administrative expense was $23.4 million and $19.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in general and administrative expense was primarily related to (i) an increase of $2.2 million in salaries and other payroll benefits, (ii) an increase of $0.6 million in legal expenses, (iii) an increase of $0.5 million in professional services and (iv) an increase of $0.4 million in stock compensation expense,.

Net loss on commodity derivative instruments of $108.7 million were recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, consisting of a $11.6 million increase in the fair value of open positions and $120.3 million of cash settlements paid on expired positions. Net loss on commodity derivative instruments of $145.1 million was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, consisting of a $95.0 million decrease in the fair value of open positions and $50.1 million of cash settlements paid on expired positions. The change in commodity derivative instruments is primarily related to the rolling off of out-of-the-money commodity hedges and increased commodity prices.

Pipeline incident loss was $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The $8.3 million reflects certain legal expenses that are not expected to be recovered under an insurance policy. No expense was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. See Note 16 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this quarterly report for additional information.

Pipeline incident settlement was $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, related to the resolution of the federal and state of California matters discussed in Note 16 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this quarterly report. No expense was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Interest expense, net was $9.5 million and $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest expense included a gain position on our interest rate swaps of $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a loss position on interest rate swaps of less than $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, we had an increase of $1.2 million in interest expense due to higher interest rates on our Revolving Credit Facility.

Average outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility were $220.7 million and $243.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA

We include in this report the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA and provide our reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) and net cash flows from operating activities, our most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss):

Plus:

| ● | Interest expense;

| ● | Income tax expense;

| ● | DD&A;

| ● | Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets (including oil and natural gas properties);

| ● | Accretion of AROs;

| ● | Loss on commodity derivative instruments;

| ● | Cash settlements received on expired commodity derivative instruments;

| ● | Amortization of gain associated with terminated commodity derivatives;

38

Table of Contents

| ● | Losses on sale of assets;

| ● | Share-based compensation expenses;

| ● | Exploration costs;

| ● | Acquisition and divestiture related expenses;

| ● | Reorganization items, net;

| ● | Severance payments; and

| ● | Other non-routine items that we deem appropriate.

Less:

| ● | Interest income;

| ● | Income tax benefit;

| ● | Gain on commodity derivative instruments;

| ● | Cash settlements paid on expired commodity derivative instruments;

| ● | Gains on sale of assets and other, net; and

| ● | Other non-routine items that we deem appropriate.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a widely followed measure of operating performance and may also be used by investors to measure our ability to meet debt service requirements.

In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate actual cash flow available to develop existing reserves or acquire additional oil and natural gas properties.

The following tables present our reconciliation of the Company’s net income (loss ) and cash flows from operating activities to Adjusted EBITDA, our most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, for each of the periods indicated.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview. Our ability to finance our operations, including funding capital expenditures and acquisitions, to meet our indebtedness obligations, to refinance our indebtedness or to meet our collateral requirements will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources have historically been cash flows generated by operating activities and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. As we pursue reserve and production growth, we plan to monitor which capital resources, including equity and debt financings, are available to us to meet our future financial obligations, planned capital expenditure activities and liquidity requirements. Based on our current oil and natural gas price expectations, we believe our cash flows provided by operating activities and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility will provide us with the financial flexibility necessary to meet our cash requirements, including normal operating needs, and to pursue our currently planned 2022 development activities. However, future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including the level of our oil and natural gas production and the prices we receive for our oil and natural gas production, and significant additional capital expenditures will be required to more fully develop our properties. We cannot assure you that operations and other needed capital will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. For the remainder of 2022, we expect our primary funding sources to be from internally generated cash flow, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, and equity and debt capital markets.

Impact of the Southern California Pipeline Incident. There is substantial uncertainty surrounding the full impact that the Incident will have on our financial condition and cash flow generation going forward. We have incurred and will continue to incur costs as a result of the Incident, and we anticipate that the suspension of production from Beta will lead to a material reduction in revenue from these assets. Although we carry customary insurance policies, including loss of production income insurance, which we expect will cover a material portion of the total aggregate costs associated with the Incident, including loss of revenue resulting from suspended operations, we can provide no assurance that our coverage will adequately protect us against liability from all potential consequences, damages and losses related to the Incident.

Capital Markets. We do not currently anticipate any near-term capital markets activity, but we will continue to evaluate the availability of public debt and equity for funding potential future growth projects and acquisition activity.

Hedging. Commodity hedging has been and remains an important part of our strategy to reduce cash flow volatility. Our hedging activities are intended to support oil, NGL and natural gas prices at targeted levels and to manage our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. We intend to enter into commodity derivative contracts at times and on terms desired to maintain a portfolio of commodity derivative contracts covering at least 50%-60% of our estimated production from total proved developed producing reserves over a one-to-three-year period at any given point of time. We may, however, from time to time, hedge more or less than this approximate amount. Additionally, we may take advantage of opportunities to modify our commodity derivative portfolio to change the percentage of our hedged production volumes when circumstances suggest that it is prudent to do so. The current market conditions may also impact our ability to enter into future commodity derivative contracts.

We evaluate counterparty risks related to our commodity derivative contracts and trade credit. Should any of these financial counterparties not perform, we may not realize the benefit of some of our hedges under lower commodity prices. We sell our oil and natural gas to a variety of purchasers. Non-performance by a customer could also result in losses.

Capital Expenditures. Our total capital expenditures were approximately $30.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which were primarily related to capital workovers, maintenance and facilities located in Oklahoma, East Texas, the Rockies and non-operated drilling and completion activities in East Texas and the Eagle Ford.

Working Capital. Working capital is the amount by which current assets exceed current liabilities. Our working capital requirements are primarily driven by changes in accounts receivable and accounts payable, as well as the classification of our debt outstanding. These changes are impacted by changes in the prices of commodities that we buy and sell. In general, our working capital requirements increase in periods of rising commodity prices and decrease in periods of declining commodity prices. However, our working capital needs do not necessarily change at the same rate as commodity prices because both accounts receivable and accounts payable are impacted by the same commodity prices. In addition, the timing of payments received by our customers or paid to our suppliers can also cause fluctuations in working capital because we settle with most of our larger customers on a monthly basis and often near the end of the month. We expect that our future working capital requirements will be impacted by these same factors.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2022, we had a working capital deficit of $48.9 million primarily due to short-term derivatives of $44.9 million, accrued liabilities of $59.9 million, revenues payable of $25.4 million, and accounts payable of $25.0 million offset by accounts receivable of $78.9 million, prepaid expenses of $16.1 million and cash on hand of $10.9 million.

Debt Agreement

Revolving Credit Facility. On November 2, 2018, OLLC, as borrower, entered into the Revolving Credit Facility (as amended and supplemented to date). KeyBank serves as the administrative agent. Our borrowing base under our Revolving Credit Facility is subject to redetermination on at least a semi-annual basis primarily based on a reserve engineering report.

On June 20, 2022, OLLC entered into the Sixth Amendment. The Sixth Amendment amends the Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things:

| ● | terminate the automatic monthly reductions of the borrowing base;

| ● | reaffirm the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility at $225.0 million; and

| ● | modify the affirmative hedging covenant.

As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately $20.0 million of available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all the financial (current ratio and total leverage ratio) and non-financial covenants associated with our Revolving Credit Facility.

For additional information regarding our Revolving Credit Facility, see Note 7 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this quarterly report.

Material Cash Requirements

Contractual commitments. We have contractual commitments under our debt agreements, including interest payments and principal payments. See Note 7 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this quarterly report for additional information.

Lease Obligations. We have operating leases for office and warehouse spaces, office equipment, compressors and surface rentals related to our business obligations. See Note 11 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this quarterly report for additional information.

Sinking fund payments. We have a funding requirement to fund a trust account to comply with supplemental regulatory bonding requirements related to our decommissioning obligations for our offshore Southern California production facilities. As of September 30, 2022, our future commitment under this agreement were $1.3 million for the remaining of 2022, $8.0 million for 2023, $15.8 million a year for years 2024 through 2026 and $110.5 million thereafter. See Note 14 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this quarterly report for additional information.

Cash Flows from Operating, Investing and Financing Activities

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated. The cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 have been derived from our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For information regarding the individual components of our cash flow amounts, see our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included under “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this quarterly report.

​ |  | For the Nine Months Ended
​ |  | September 30,
​ |  | 2022 |  | 2021
​ |  | (In thousands)

Net cash used in financing activities | ​ |  | (25,632) | ​ |  | (25,054)

​

Operating Activities. Key drivers of net operating cash flows are commodity prices, production volumes and operating costs. Net cash provided by operating activities was $49.3 million and $55.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Production volumes were approximately 20.6 MBoe/d and 25.0 MBoe/d for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The average realized sales price was $56.76 per Boe and $36.51 per Boe for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in average realized sales price was primarily due to the increase in commodity prices.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included $120.3 million of cash paid on expired commodity derivative instruments compared to $50.1 million of cash paid on expired commodity derivatives for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net losses on commodity derivative instruments of $108.7 million compared to net losses of $145.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $31.6 million, of which $26.2 million was used for additions to oil and natural gas properties. Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $23.3 million, of which $23.1 million was used for additions to oil and natural gas properties.

Various restricted investment accounts fund certain long-term contractual and regulatory asset retirement obligations and collateralize certain regulatory bonds associated with our offshore Southern California properties. Additions to restricted investments were $5.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Financing Activities. We had net repayments of $25.0 million and $25.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to our Revolving Credit Facility.

Off–Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2022, we had no off–balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) and under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon the evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2022.

The full impact of COVID-19 on our business is still uncertain. In order to protect the health and safety of our employees, we took proactive steps to allow employees to work remotely and to reduce the number of employees on site at any one time in our field areas to comply with social distancing guidelines. We believe that our internal controls and procedures are still functioning as designed and were effective for the most recent quarter.

Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The certifications required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, respectively, to this quarterly report.
