Management Commentary
“Permian Resources had another outstanding year in 2024, and we
could not be more proud of our team for everything they
accomplished last year,” said Will Hickey, Co-CEO of Permian
Resources. “With our low cost structure serving as the foundation,
Permian Resources delivered peer leading per share growth during
2024, which helped generate a superior total return for our
shareholders.”
“We are excited to announce our 2025 plan, which is highlighted
by 8% higher annual production and no change to our approximately
$2 billion capital budget from 2024. This improved year-over-year
capital efficiency is driven by our consistent development approach
and significantly lower cost structure,” said James Walter, Co-CEO
of Permian Resources. “Most importantly, our 2025 plan allows us to
generate more free cash flow than 2024, maximizing value for
shareholders.”
Financial and Operational Results
Permian Resources continued the efficient development of its
core Delaware Basin acreage position in the fourth quarter, while
fully integrating the Barilla Draw bolt-on acquisition. During the
quarter, average daily crude oil production was 171,274 Bbls/d, a
7% increase compared to the prior quarter. Reported natural gas and
NGL volumes were 634,546 Mcf/d and 91,382 Bbls/d, respectively.
Fourth quarter total production was 368,414 Boe/d.
Total cash capital expenditures (“capex”) for the fourth quarter
were $504 million. The Company continues to reduce well costs on a
per lateral foot basis. For the fourth quarter, drilling and
completion costs per lateral foot were approximately $775, or a 3%
reduction from the previous quarter.
Realized prices for the quarter were $69.66 per barrel of oil,
$0.87 per Mcf of natural gas and $24.05 per barrel of NGLs. During
the quarter, total controllable cash costs (LOE, GP&T and cash
G&A) were $7.84 per Boe, an $0.11 per Boe reduction from the
prior quarter. Fourth quarter LOE was $5.42 per Boe, GP&T was
$1.49 per Boe and cash G&A was $0.93 per Boe.
For the fourth quarter, Permian Resources generated net cash
provided by operating activities of $872 million, adjusted
operating cash flow1 of $904 million and adjusted free cash flow1
of $400 million. Adjusted diluted shares1 outstanding were 847.1
million for the three months ended December 31, 2024.
Permian Resources continues to maintain a strong financial
position and low leverage profile. The Company further strengthened
its balance sheet by increasing the amount of cash on hand by over
$200 million quarter-over-quarter to $479 million, as of December
31, 2024. Permian Resources’ revolving credit facility remained
undrawn at year-end. Total liquidity was $3.0 billion. Net
debt-to-LQA EBITDAX1 at December 31, 2024 was 0.95x.
2025 Operational Plan and Targets
Permian Resources’ 2025 operational plan is focused on
maximizing free cash flow for its investors and delivering better
year-over-year capital efficiency through the combination of
consistent well productivity and considerably lower costs. Assuming
planned activity levels and current commodity prices, the Company
expects its full year oil and total production to average
approximately 170 to 175 MBbls/d and 360 to 380 MBoe/d,
respectively. The estimated fiscal year 2025 cash capex budget is
approximately $1.9 billion to $2.1 billion, with approximately 80%
allocated to drilling and completions with the remaining 20%
allocated to facilities, infrastructure, capital workover and
non-operated capex. Notably, this represents annual oil and total
production growth of approximately 8%, while maintaining a similar
capital budget year-over-year.
Permian Resources expects to turn-in-line (“TIL”) approximately
285 gross wells, with an average working interest of approximately
75% and 8/8ths net revenue interest of approximately 79%. The
Company also expects its average completed lateral length during
2025 to be approximately 10,000 feet, an increase of 700 feet from
the previous year. Through realized efficiency gains, the Company’s
capital budget is further supported by an approximately 8%
reduction in D&C costs per foot compared to 2024. Similar to
the previous year, Permian Resources anticipates that approximately
65% of its 2025 operating activity will be directed towards New
Mexico and approximately 30% towards the Texas Delaware Basin, with
the remaining portion to be allocated to its Midland Basin
position.
Through its continued focus on remaining the Delaware Basin’s
low-cost leader, Permian Resources anticipates total controllable
cash costs of $7.25 to $8.25 per Boe in 2025. The mid-point
represents an approximately $0.10 per Boe reduction compared to
Permian Resources’ 2024 total controllable cash costs,
demonstrating the Company’s cost leadership and ability to
successfully integrate acquired assets. Specifically, controllable
cash costs consist of approximately $5.55 per Boe for LOE, $1.30
per Boe for GP&T expense and $0.90 per Boe for cash G&A.
The Company expects its oil realizations to average 98% to 100% of
WTI during 2025. Permian Resources estimates its average realized
revenue from natural gas to be approximately $0.30 to $0.50 per Mcf
less than Waha Hub pricing and its NGLs to be approximately 27% to
30% of WTI.

operational and financial guidance, please see the Appendix of this
press release.)
Shareholder Returns
Permian Resources announced today that its Board of Directors
(the “Board”) declared the Company’s first quarter 2025 base
dividend of $0.15 per share of Class A common stock, or $0.60 per
share on an annualized basis. The base dividend is payable on March
31, 2025 to shareholders of record as of March 17, 2025. The
Company’s base dividend represents an annualized yield of 4.3% as
of February 24, 2025.
Year-End 2024 Proved Reserves
Permian Resources reported year-end 2024 total proved reserves
of 1,027 MMBoe compared to 925 MMBoe at prior year-end. At year-end
2024, proved reserves consisted of 45% oil, 30% natural gas and 25%
natural gas liquids. Proved developed reserves were 746 MMBoe (73%
of total proved reserves) at December 31, 2024. Netherland Sewell
& Associates, Inc., an independent reserve engineering firm,
prepared Permian Resources’ year-end reserves estimates for the
year ended December 31, 2024.
Recent Events
During the first quarter of 2025, Permian Resources closed the
non-core divestiture of its oil and gas gathering systems in Reeves
County, Texas for gross proceeds of $180 million, further enhancing
the returns associated with its 2024 acquisition program.
Additionally, the Company utilized cash on hand to partially
redeem $175 million in aggregate principal amount of its 9.875%
Senior Notes due 2031.
Annual Report on Form 10-K
Permian Resources’ financial statements and related footnotes
will be available in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2024, which is expected to be filed with the

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 related to our recent acquisitions, including the risk
that we may fail to integrate such acquisitions on the terms and
timing currently contemplated, or at all, and/or to realize our
strategy and plans to achieve 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;

U.S. Supreme Court’s decision overturning the Chevron deference
doctrine and that may impact environmental, energy, and natural
resources regulation;
- the possibility that the industry in which we operate may be
subject to new or volatile local, state, and federal or legislative
actions (including additional taxes and changes in environmental,
health, and safety regulation and regulations related to climate
change) as a result of developing national and/or global efforts to
address climate change;
- restrictions on the use of water, including limits on the use
of produced water and potential restrictions on the availability to
water disposal facilities;
- availability to cash flow and access to capital;
- inflation;
- changes in our credit ratings or adverse changes in interest
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 oil and gas 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 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, exploration and other expenses, merger
and integration expense, gain/loss from the sale of long-lived
assets and 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:

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 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 December 31, 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 presented:

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:

state income tax expense recognized during the period and expected

noncontrolling interest ownership percentage as of the three months
ended December 31, 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
table presents a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net

calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:
