On September 4, 2024, in connection with the Notes Offering, the Company provided certain updated disclosures to potential investors, the relevant excerpts of which are set forth below.
******
The Company’s portfolio of assets:
•at December 31, 2023, consisted of 994.0 net MMBoe after giving effect to the merger with SilverBow Resources Inc. (“SilverBow,” and such transaction, the “SilverBow Merger”) of proved reserves, of which approximately 52% were liquids after giving effect to the SilverBow Merger, reflecting $8.2 billion and $6.3 billion, respectively, in standardized measure after giving effect to the SilverBow


Merger), in net proved and net proved developed (“PD”) present value discounted at a 10% discount rate;
•during the year ended December 31, 2023, produced 149 net MBoe/d and during the six months ended June 30, 2024 produced 165 net MBoe/d (with the SilverBow Transaction to add approximately 59 MBoe/d and 92 MBoe/d of net production, respectively); and
•during the year ended December 31, 2023, generated $764.6 million of net income, $1,823.6 million of Adjusted EBITDAX and $541.6 million of Levered Free Cash Flow, after giving effect to the July Western Eagle Ford Acquisition and the SilverBow Transactions.
******
The Company’s estimated 2024 PDP decline rate of approximately 25%, based on forecasts used in its reserve report, and inclusive of the assets acquired in the SilverBow Merger (the “SilverBow Assets”), is substantially lower than the industry average.
******
Based on forecasts used in the Company’s reserve report and SilverBow’s reserve report, the Company’s PDP reserves as of December 31, 2023, inclusive of the SilverBow Assets, have estimated average five-year and ten-year annual decline rates of approximately 16% and approximately 13%, respectively, and an estimated 2024 PDP decline rate of approximately 25%.

__________________
(1)The Company’s reserves and PV-10 were determined using SEC Pricing. For oil and NGL volumes, the average WTI posted price of $78.22 per barrel as of December 31, 2023, was adjusted for items such as gravity, quality, local conditions, gathering, transportation fees and distance from market. For natural gas volumes, the average Henry Hub Index spot price of $2.64 per MMBtu as of December 31, 2023, was similarly adjusted for items such as quality, local conditions, gathering, transportation fees and distance from market. All prices are held constant throughout the lives of the properties. The average adjusted product prices over the remaining lives of the properties are $74.71 per barrel of oil, $2.36 per Mcf of natural gas and $27.33 per barrel of NGLs.
(2)SilverBow’s reserves and PV-10 were determined using SEC pricing. The 12-month 2023 average adjusted prices after differentials were $2.30 per Mcf of natural gas, $76.79 per barrel of oil, and $25.43 per barrel of NGL.
(3)Reflects the net proved and net PD present values reflected in the Company’s and SilverBow’s respective proved reserve estimates as of December 31, 2023. PV-10 is not a financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP because it does not include the effects of income taxes on future revenues.
(4)The Company’s NYMEX reserves and PV-10 were determined using index prices for oil and natural gas, respectively, without giving effect to derivative transactions and were calculated based on settlement prices to better reflect the market expectations as of that date, as adjusted for our estimates of quality, transportation fees, and market differentials. The NYMEX reserves calculations are based on NYMEX futures pricing at closing on July 31, 2024 for oil and natural gas. The average adjusted product prices over the remaining lives of the properties are $63.89 per barrel of oil, $3.16 per Mcf of natural gas and $23.18 per barrel of NGLs as of July 31, 2024 for Crescent Energy Company. We


believe that the use of forward prices provides investors with additional useful information about our reserves, as the forward prices are based on the market’s forward-looking expectations of oil and natural gas prices as of a certain date, although we caution investors that this information should be viewed as a helpful alternative, not a substitute, for the data presented based on SEC pricing. See “—Summary reserve and operating data—Summary reserve data based on NYMEX pricing.”
(5)SilverBow’s reserves, PV-0 and PV-10 were determined using NYMEX pricing, without giving effect to derivative transactions and were calculated based on settlement prices to better reflect the market expectations as of that date, as adjusted for estimates of quality, transportation fees and market differentials. The NYMEX reserves calculations are based on NYMEX futures pricing at closing on July 31, 2024 for oil and natural gas. The average adjusted product prices over the remaining lives of the properties are $65.73 per barrel of oil, $3.03 of natural gas and $21.77 per barrel of NGLs as of July 31, 2024 for SilverBow. The Company believes that the use of forward prices provides investors with additional useful information about reserves estimates, as the forward prices are based on the market’s forward-looking expectations of oil and natural gas prices as of a certain date, although we caution investors that this information should be viewed as a helpful alternative, not as a substitute, for the data presented based on SEC pricing.
(6)Includes working interest properties located in Mid-Con, Barnett, California and Permian as well as diversified minerals.

As of December 31, 2023 and including the net drilling locations gained through the SilverBow Merger, the Company has identified 566 net locations as PUD drilling locations.

******
A key tenet of the Company’s focused risk management effort is an active economic hedging strategy to mitigate near-term price volatility while maintaining long-term exposure to underlying commodity prices. The Company’s hedging program limits its near-term exposure to product price volatility and allows it to protect the balance sheet and corporate returns through commodity cycles and return capital to investors. Future transactions


may include price swaps whereby the Company will receive a fixed price for its production and pay a variable market price to the contract counterparty. Additionally, the Company may enter into collars, whereby it receives the excess, if any, of the fixed floor over the floating rate or pay the excess, if any of the floating rate over the fixed ceiling. In connection with the closing of the SilverBow Merger, the Company assumed SilverBow’s outstanding commodity hedging arrangements. As of August 31, 2024, the Company’s derivative portfolio had an aggregate notional value of approximately $2.8 billion. The Company determines the fair value of its oil and natural gas commodity derivatives using valuation techniques that utilize market quotes and pricing analysis. Inputs include publicly available prices and forward price curves generated from a compilation of data gathered from third parties.

Summary reserve data based on NYMEX pricing
The following table provides the Company’s and SilverBow’s historical reserves, PV-0 and PV-10 as of December 31, 2023 using NYMEX pricing, individually and on a combined basis. The Company has included this reserve sensitivity in order to provide an additional method of presentation of the fair value of the assets and the cash flows that are expected to be generated from those assets based on the market’s forward-looking pricing expectations as of July 31, 2024. The Company believes that the use of forward prices provides investors with additional useful information about its reserves, as the forward prices are based on the market’s forward-looking expectations of oil and natural gas prices as of a certain date, although the Company cautions investors that this information should be viewed as a helpful alternative, not a substitute, for the data presented based on SEC pricing. In addition, the Company believes strip pricing provides relevant and useful information because it is widely used by investors in its industry as a basis for comparing the relative size and value of proved reserves to its peers and in particular addresses the impact of differentials compared with its peers. The Company and SilverBow’s respective estimated historical reserves, PV-0 and PV-10 based on NYMEX pricing, were otherwise prepared on the same basis as the Company’s and SilverBow’s respective estimations based on SEC pricing reserves for the comparable period. Reserve estimates using NYMEX pricing are calculated using the internal systems of the Company’s management and have not been prepared or audited by an independent, third-party reserve engineer, but otherwise contain the same parameters, except for price and minor system differences.

__________________
(1)The Company’s NYMEX reserves, PV-0 and PV-10 were determined using NYMEX pricing, without giving effect to derivative transactions and were calculated based on settlement prices to better reflect the market expectations as of that date, as adjusted for estimates of quality, transportation fees, and market differentials. The NYMEX reserves calculations are based on NYMEX pricing at closing on July 31, 2024 for oil and natural gas. The average adjusted product prices over the remaining lives of the properties are $63.89 per barrel of oil, $3.16 per Mcf of natural gas and $23.18 per barrel of NGLs as of July 31, 2024 for the Company. The Company believes that the use of forward prices provides investors with additional useful information about its reserves, as the forward prices are based on the market’s forward-looking expectations of oil and natural gas prices as of a certain date, although the Company cautions investors that this information should be viewed as a helpful alternative, not as a substitute, for the data presented based on SEC pricing.
(2)SilverBow’s reserves, PV-0 and PV-10 were determined using NYMEX pricing, without giving effect to derivative transactions and were calculated based on settlement prices to better reflect the market expectations as of that date. The NYMEX reserves calculations are based on NYMEX pricing at closing on July 31, 2024 for oil and natural gas. The average adjusted product prices over the remaining lives of the properties are $65.73 per barrel of oil, $3.03 per Mcf of natural gas and $21.77 per barrel of NGLs as of July 31, 2024 for SilverBow. The Company believes that the use of forward prices provides investors with additional useful information about reserves estimates, as the forward prices are based on the market’s forward-looking expectations of oil and natural gas prices as of a certain date, although the Company cautions investors that this information should be viewed as a helpful alternative, not as a substitute, for the data presented based on SEC pricing.
(3)Pro forma reserve data generally represents the arithmetic sum of the proved reserves, the standardized measure, PV-0 and PV-10 attributable to the Company and SilverBow. The proved reserves of SilverBow are based on its development plans and its reserve engineers’ reserve estimation methodologies. Because the Company will develop such proved reserves in accordance with its own development plan and, in the future, will estimate proved reserves in accordance with its own methodologies, the estimates presented herein for SilverBow may not be representative of the Company’s future reserve estimates with respect to these properties or the reserve estimates we would have reported if we had owned such properties as of December 31, 2023.
(4)Present value (discounted at PV-0 and PV-10) is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP because it does not include the effects of income taxes on future net revenues. Neither PV-0 nor PV-10 represent an estimate of the fair market value of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties. The Company’s PV-0 measurement does not provide a discount rate to estimated future cash flows. PV-0 therefore does not reflect the risk associated with future cash flow projections like PV-10 does. PV-0 should therefore only be evaluated in connection with an evaluation of the Company’s PV-10 of discounted future net cash flows. The Company believes that the presentation of PV-0 and PV-10 is relevant and useful to its investors about the future net cash flows of its reserves in the absence of a comparable measure such as standardized measure. The Company and others in its industry use PV-0 and PV-10 as a measure to compare the relative size and value of proved reserves held by companies without regard to the specific tax characteristics of such entities. Investors should be cautioned that neither of PV-0 and PV-10 represent an estimate of the fair market value of the Company’s proved reserves. GAAP does not prescribe any corresponding measure for PV-10 of reserves based on pricing other than SEC pricing. As a result, it is not practicable for the Company to reconcile the Company’s PV-10 using NYMEX pricing to standardized measure as determined in accordance with GAAP.

August 2024 Acquisition
On August 26, 2024, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a series of agreements with unaffiliated third parties to acquire certain interests in oil and gas properties, rights and related assets located in Atascosa, Frio, La Salle and McMullen Counties, Texas (the “Central Eagle Ford Assets”) for aggregate consideration of approximately $168 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments (the “August 2024 Acquisition”). The Central Eagle Ford Assets are expected to produce approximately 4,000 Boe/d in 2025 (85% oil) with an approximately 23% decline rate. Additionally, the Central Eagle Ford Assets include 30 gross (23 net) operated locations, approximately 5,300 net royalty acres and approximately 13,000 net working interest acres.
The August 2024 Acquisition is expected to close in late September 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.
