Permian Resources Corporation (“Permian Resources” or the
“Company”) (NYSE: PR) today announced its second quarter 2024
financial and operational results and revised 2024 guidance.
Recent Financial and Operational Highlights
- Reported crude oil and total average production of 152.9
MBbls/d and 338.8 MBoe/d during the quarter
- Decreased controllable cash costs by 8% quarter-over-quarter to
$7.45 per Boe, driven primarily by lower LOE
- Reduced second quarter D&C costs per foot by ~13% compared
to 2023, driven by operational efficiencies
- Announced cash capital expenditures of $516 million and
adjusted free cash flow1 of $332 million ($0.43 per adjusted basic
share)
- Reported total return of capital of $193 million, or $0.25 per
share, including $0.06 per share base dividend, $0.15 per share
variable dividend and $30 million in share repurchases
- Continued to drive shareholder value through accretive
acquisitions:
- Closed previously announced Eddy County bolt-on
- Announced $817.5 million acquisition from Occidental, adding
~29,500 net acres and ~15,000 Boe/d directly offset existing
operations
- Increased mid-point of full year standalone oil and total
production guidance by ~1.5% to 152 MBbls/d and 325 MBoe/d, driven
primarily by continued strong operational performance
Management Commentary
“Our team and asset base continue to perform extremely well, and
our continued focus on further improving our position as the
low-cost leader in the Delaware Basin has paid-off across the
board, from controllable cash costs to drilling, completions and
other capex,” said Will Hickey, Co-CEO of Permian Resources. “This
has allowed us to increase our full year oil guidance for the
second consecutive quarter, while maintaining our original capital
outlook.”
“We are proud to continue building upon our track record of
consistent operational execution and cost reduction. This allowed
us to generate $0.43 per share of adjusted free cash flow, or $332
million,” said James Walter, Co-CEO of Permian Resources. “Our
history of strong operational performance and accretive
acquisitions has allowed us to grow adjusted free cash flow per
share over 60% since the first quarter 2023, and we’ve continued
that track record with our second quarter results and the recent
Barilla Draw acquisition.”
Operational and Financial Results
During the second quarter, average daily crude oil production
was 152,883 barrels of oil per day (“Bbls/d”), a 1% increase
compared to the prior quarter. Total production was 338,761 barrels
of oil equivalent per day (“Boe/d”), a 6% increase compared to the
prior quarter. Oil outperformance was driven by continued strong
execution, with the outperformance in total production further
enhanced by higher ethane recovery during the quarter.
The Company continues to increase operational efficiencies,
driving down drilling and completions costs per foot. For the
second quarter, drilling and completion costs per lateral foot were
approximately $830, a 13% reduction from 2023. Total cash capital
expenditures (“capex”) for the second quarter were $516 million.
“We have built on our momentum from the prior quarter. The second
quarter represents our best D&C performance to-date, including
averaging approximately 1,500 feet drilled per day per rig,” said
Will Hickey, Co-CEO.
The Company demonstrated strong cost control in the second
quarter, with total controllable cash costs (LOE, GP&T and cash
G&A) decreasing 8% quarter-over-quarter to $7.45 per Boe.
Second quarter LOE was $5.18 per Boe, GP&T was $1.42 per Boe
and Cash G&A was $0.85 per Boe.
“Our team has done a tremendous job demonstrating cost control
and synergy realization,” said Will Hickey, Co-CEO. “Less than nine
months after closing the Earthstone acquisition, we’ve driven field
costs back down to legacy PR levels. This is a testament to our
operations team and clear demonstration of our track-record of
capturing synergies.”
Realized prices for the quarter were $80.10 per barrel of oil,
$0.01 per Mcf of natural gas and $22.51 per barrel of natural gas
liquids (“NGLs”), excluding the effects of hedges and GP&T
costs. During the quarter, regional natural gas prices in the
Permian Basin were negatively impacted as a result of pipeline
capacity constraints, which are expected to be alleviated as
additional pipeline capacity comes online later this year.
For the second quarter, Permian Resources generated net cash
provided by operating activities of $938 million, adjusted
operating cash flow1 of $849 million ($1.10 per adjusted basic
share) and adjusted free cash flow1 of $332 million ($0.43 per
adjusted basic share).
Recent Acquisition
On July 29, 2024, Permian Resources announced that it had
entered into a definitive agreement with Occidental (NYSE: OXY) to
purchase ~29,500 net acres, ~9,900 net royalty acres and ~15,000
Boe/d in the core of the Delaware Basin for $817.5 million. The
acquired assets are concentrated directly offset Permian Resources’
existing position in Reeves County, Texas and Eddy County, New
Mexico. Permian Resources has identified over 200 gross operated,
high-NRI two-mile locations which immediately compete for capital.
The Company expects to begin development on the acquired properties
during the fourth quarter 2024. The acquired assets in Reeves
County also include a fully integrated midstream system which
consists of over 100 miles of operated oil and gas gathering
pipeline and over 10,000 surface acres, in addition to
complementary water infrastructure including saltwater disposal
wells, a recycling facility, frac ponds and water wells. The
transaction is expected to close by the end of the third quarter
2024.
2024 Operational Plan and Target Update
Based on recent operational results, Permian Resources increased
its 2024 standalone oil and total production targets by
approximately 1.5% to 151-153 MBbls/d and 320-330 MBoe/d,
respectively, based on the mid-point of guidance. The Company is
also adjusting the expected number of turn-in-lines (“TILs”) for
2024 to approximately 265 gross wells, as a result of higher
operational efficiencies and reduced cycle times. There are no
other changes to the Company’s standalone guidance ranges.
The recent Occidental acquisition noted above is expected to add
approximately 15,000 Boe/d (~55% oil) of total production during
the fourth quarter 2024. Notably, the potential impact of the
recently announced acquisition is not included in the revised
standalone guidance.
(For a detailed table summarizing Permian Resources’ revised
2024 standalone operational and financial guidance, please see the
Appendix of this press release.)
Financial Update
Permian Resources continues to execute on the conservative
financial strategy it has pursued since formation. The Company
funded the previously announced Barilla Draw bolt-on acquisition
through a combination of equity and debt, issuing 26.5 million
shares of Class A Common Stock to raise approximately $403 million
in proceeds and $1 billion of 6.25% senior notes due 2033 at par.
In addition to funding the pending Barilla Draw acquisition, the
proceeds from the notes will be used to redeem the 7.75% senior
notes due 2026 and fully repay the credit facility.
The Company’s maturity profile was further strengthened by a
cash tender offer to purchase any and all of its outstanding 7.75%
Senior Notes due 2026. Subject to the completion of the tender
offer, the Company intends to redeem all 7.75% Senior Notes due
2026 not purchased in the tender offer. After giving effect to
recent transactions, Permian Resources’ pro forma total liquidity
is approximately $2.5 billion. Additionally, the Company placed
additional crude oil hedges in 2025 and 2026. Giving effect to
those new hedges, Permian Resources has approximately 45, 43 and 18
MBbls/d of oil hedged for the second half of 2024, 2025 and 2026,
respectively.
The Company remains focused on establishing investment grade
credit ratings. Since the first quarter 2024, Moody’s Ratings
upgraded Permian Resources to Ba2 with positive outlook and S&P
Global Ratings upgraded Permian Resources to BB with stable
outlook. Giving effect to these upgrades, Permian Resources is
rated BB (S&P), Ba2 (Moody’s) and BB (Fitch). Permian Resources
continues to prioritize preserving a strong balance sheet and
maintaining financial flexibility to support leading total
shareholder returns. "We are proud of our financial strength and
have comparable attributes to our investment grade peers. As a
result, we are targeting investment grade credit ratings in 2025,"
said Guy Oliphint, Chief Financial Officer.
Shareholder Returns
Permian Resources announced today that its Board of Directors
(the “Board”) declared a quarterly base cash dividend of $0.06 per
share of the Company’s Class A common stock, or $0.24 per share on
an annualized basis. Additionally, based upon second quarter
financial results, the Board has declared a quarterly variable cash
dividend of $0.15 per share of Class A common stock. Combined, the
base and variable dividends represent a total cash return of $0.21
per share. The base and variable dividends are payable on August
27, 2024 to shareholders of record as of August 19, 2024. Permian
Resources returned additional capital to shareholders in the second
quarter by repurchasing 1.8 million shares of common stock for $30
million. The Company’s second quarter total return of capital,
inclusive of the base dividend, variable dividend and share
repurchases, was $0.25 per share.
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Permian Resources’ financial statements and related footnotes
will be available in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 30, 2024, which is expected to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 7, 2024.

We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject
to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult
to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to
the exploration for and development, production, gathering and sale
of oil, natural gas and NGLs. Factors which could cause our actual
results to differ materially from the results contemplated by
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
- commodity price volatility (including regional basis
differentials);
- uncertainty inherent in estimating oil, natural gas and NGL
reserves, including the impact of commodity price declines on the
economic producibility of such reserves, and in projecting future
rates of production;
- geographic concentration of our operations;
- lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and
services;
- lack of transportation and storage capacity as a result of
oversupply, government regulations or other factors;
- risks relating to the merger (the “Earthstone Merger”) of the
Company with Earthstone Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Earthstone”), and its subsidiaries;
- risks related to our recent bolt-on transactions, including the
risk that we may fail to complete and integrate such acquisitions
on the terms and timing currently contemplated, or at all, and/or
to realize the expected benefits of such acquisitions;
- competition in the oil and natural gas industry for assets,
materials, qualified personnel and capital;
- drilling and other operating risks;
- environmental and climate related risks, including seasonal
weather conditions;

rates;
- changes in the financial strength of counterparties to our
credit agreement and hedging contracts;
- the timing of development expenditures;
- political and economic conditions and events in foreign oil and
natural gas producing countries, including embargoes, continued
hostilities in the Middle East and other sustained military
campaigns, including the conflict in Israel and its surrounding
areas, the war in Ukraine and associated economic sanctions on
Russia, conditions in South America, Central America, China and
Russia, and acts of terrorism or sabotage;
- changes in local, regional, national, and international
economic conditions;
- security threats, including evolving cybersecurity risks such
as those involving unauthorized access, denial-of-service attacks,
third-party service provider failures, malicious software, data
privacy breaches by employees, insiders or other with authorized
access, cyber or phishing-attacks, ransomware, social engineering,
physical breaches or other actions; and
- other risks described in our filings with the SEC.
Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground
accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an
exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the
quality of available data, the interpretation of such data, and
price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition,
the results of drilling, testing and production activities may
justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If
significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any
further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve
estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil and
natural gas that are ultimately recovered.
Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in
this press release occur, or should any underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in
this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by
this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be
considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral
forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf
may issue.
Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any
duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are
expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect
events or circumstances after the date of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”), our earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures
as described below.
Adjusted EBITDAX
Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure
that is used by management and external users of our consolidated
financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders
and rating agencies. We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income
attributable to Class A Common Stock before net income attributable
to noncontrolling interest, interest expense, income taxes,
depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairment and
abandonment expense, non-cash gains or losses on derivatives,
stock-based compensation (not cash-settled), exploration and other
expenses, merger and integration expense, gain/loss from the sale
of long-lived assets and other non-recurring items. Adjusted
EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by GAAP.
Our management believes Adjusted EBITDAX is useful as it allows
them to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and
compare the results of our operations from period to period and
against our peers, without regard to our financing methods or
capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net
income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can
vary substantially from company to company within our industry
depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets,
capital structures and the method by which the assets were
acquired. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered as an
alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined
in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating
performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted
EBITDAX 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
EBITDAX. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDAX should not be
construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by
unusual or nonrecurring items. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDAX
may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted
EBITDAX to net income, which is the most directly comparable
financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with
GAAP:

expenses line item.
Net Debt-to-LQA EBITDAX
Net debt-to-LQA EBITDAX is a non-GAAP financial measure. We
define net debt as long-term debt, net, plus unamortized debt
discount, premium and debt issuance costs on our senior notes minus
cash and cash equivalents.
We define net debt-to-LQA EBITDAX as net debt (defined above)
divided by Adjusted EBITDAX (defined and reconciled in the section
above) for the three months ended June 30, 2024, on an annualized
basis. We refer to this metric to show trends that investors may
find useful in understanding our ability to service our debt. This
metric is widely used by professional research analysts, including
credit analysts, in the valuation and comparison of companies in
the oil and gas exploration and production industry. The following
table presents a reconciliation of net debt to long-term debt, net
and the calculation of net debt-to-LQA EBITDAX for the period

Adjusted Shares
Adjusted basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding
("Adjusted Basic and Diluted Shares") are non-GAAP financial
measures defined as basic and diluted weighted average shares
outstanding adjusted to reflect the weighted average shares of our
Class C Common Stock outstanding during the period.
Our Adjusted Basic and Diluted Shares provide a comparable per
share measurement when presenting results such as adjusted free
cash flow and adjusted net income that include the interests of
both net income attributable to Class A Common Stock and the net
income attributable to our noncontrolling interest. Adjusted Basic
and Diluted Shares are used in calculating several metrics that we
use as supplemental financial measurements in the evaluation of our
business.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted Basic
and Diluted Shares to basic and diluted weighted average shares
outstanding, which are the most directly comparable financial
measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:

Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash
Flow
Adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are
supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management and
external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as
industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We
define adjusted operating cash flow as net cash provided by
operating activities adjusted to remove changes in working capital,
merger and integration and other non-recurring charges, and
estimated tax distributions to our non-controlling interest owners.
Adjusted operating cash flows is reduced by total cash capital
expenditures to arrive at adjusted free cash flows.
Our management believes adjusted operating cash flow and
adjusted free cash flow are useful indicators of the Company’s
ability to internally fund its future exploration and development
activities, to service its existing level of indebtedness or incur
additional debt, without regard to the timing of settlement of
either operating assets and liabilities, its merger and integration
and other non-recurring costs or estimated tax distributions to
noncontrolling interest owners after funding its capital
expenditures paid for the period. The Company believes that these
measures, as so adjusted, present meaningful indicators of the
Company’s actual sources and uses of capital associated with its
operations conducted during the applicable period. Our computation
of adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow may not
be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
companies. Adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow
should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful
than, net cash provided by operating activities as determined in
accordance with GAAP or as indicators of our operating performance
or liquidity.
Adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are not
financial measures that are determined in accordance with GAAP.
Accordingly, the following table presents a reconciliation of
adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow to net
cash provided by operating activities, which is the most directly
comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance
with GAAP:

noncontrolling interest ownership percentage as of three months
ended June 30, 2024.
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted net income is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure
that is used by management and external users of our consolidated
financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders
and rating agencies. We define adjusted net income as net income
attributable to Class A Common Stock plus net income attributable
to noncontrolling interest adjusted for non-cash gains or losses on
derivatives, merger and integration expense, other nonrecurring
charges, impairment and abandonment expense, gain/loss from the
sale of long-lived assets and the related income tax adjustments
for these items. Adjusted net income is not a measure of net income
as determined by GAAP.
Our management believes adjusted net income is useful as it
allows them to more effectively evaluate our operating performance
and compare the results of our operations from period to period and
against our peers by excluding certain non-cash items that can vary
significantly. Adjusted net income should not be considered as an
alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined
in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating
performance or liquidity. Our presentation of adjusted net income
should not be construed as an inference that our results will be
unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Our computations of
adjusted net income may not be comparable to other similarly titled
measures of other companies.
Adjusted net income is not a financial measure that is
determined in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, the following
