reported net income of $11.1 million,
or $0.30 per basic share, and net
cash provided by operating activities of $15.7 million. After adjusting for certain items,

First quarter realized oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids
prices were $75.08 per Bbl,
$1.25 per Mcf and $23.65 per Bbl, respectively.
Operating Costs
During the first quarter of 2024, lease operating expense
("LOE") was $10.9 million or
$7.92 per Boe. The Company continues
to focus on its operating costs and safely maximizing the value of
its asset base through prudent expenditure programs, cost
management efforts, and continuous pursuit of initiatives that
safely drive cost efficiency in the field. The Company successfully
managed the operational impacts of seasonal cold weather throughout
the first quarter of 2024, which impacted the timing of expense
workover activities, but were not outside of the Company's range
expectations for this time of year.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, general and
administrative expense ("G&A") was $3.3
million, or $2.42 per Boe.
Liquidity & Capital Structure
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $208.5 million of cash and cash equivalents,
including restricted cash, diversified across multiple significant,
well-capitalized financial institutions. The Company has no
outstanding term or revolving debt obligations.
Dividend Program
In January 2024, the Board of
Directors approved a one-time cash dividend of $1.50 per share of the Company's common stock,
which was paid on February 20, 2024
to shareholders of record as of the close of business on
February 5, 2024. The aggregate total
payout was approximately $55.6 million. Additionally, in March 2024, the Board of Directors increased the
Company's on-going quarterly dividend to $0.11 per share which was first paid on
March 29, 2024, to shareholders of
record as of the close of business on March
15, 2024. The aggregate total payout was $4.1 million. The $0.11 per share dividend is subject to quarterly
approval by the Board of Directors. Dividend payments for the

awards.
On May 2, 2024, the Board of
Directors declared a $0.11 per share
cash dividend payable on May 31, 2024
to shareholders of record on May 17,
2024.
Operational Results & Update
Production & Revenue
Production totaled 1,376 MBoe (15.1 MBoed, 15% oil, 58% natural
gas and 27% NGLs) for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Revenues totaled $30.3 million
(51% oil, 20% natural gas and 29% NGLs) for the first quarter of
2024. While production in the first quarter of 2024 was impacted by
seasonal cold weather, our projected long-term decline rates remain
stable due to the nature of the Company's asset base and the
continued focus on production optimization efforts.
Production Optimization Program
The Company continues to optimize its stable, low-decline
production base, which has an estimated single-digit annual PDP
decline rate over the next ten years. The Company continuously
evaluates the potential for high-return projects that further
enhance its asset base. Such projects include, but are not limited
to, workovers, artificial lift improvements and conversions from
less efficient systems, recompletions of "behind pipe" pay in
vertical section of existing wells, and the restimulation of
existing intervals and previously bypassed unstimulated intervals
in existing wells. When evaluating these and other options, the
Company continues to ensure that all projects meet high rate of
return thresholds and remains capital disciplined as the commodity
price landscape changes.
Outlook
SandRidge will continue to focus on growing the cash value and
generation capability of its asset base in a safe, responsible and
efficient manner, while exercising prudent capital allocations to
projects it believes provide high rates of returns in the current
commodity price outlook. These near-term projects will be focused
on artificial lift conversions to more efficient and cost-effective
systems and other capital-efficient workovers while preserving
future development and expanded well reactivations, benefited by
our 99% held by production acreage position that extends the option
value to initiate projects in favorable commodity price
environments, to achieve high rates of return. The Company will
continue to monitor forward-looking commodity prices, results,
costs and other factors that could influence returns on
investments, which will continue to shape its disciplined
development decisions in 2024 and beyond.
SandRidge will also continue to maintain the optionality to
execute on value accretive merger and acquisition opportunities
that could bring synergies, leverage the Company's core
competencies, complement its portfolio of assets, seek to further
utilize its approximately $1.6
billion of net operating losses ("NOLs"), or otherwise yield
attractive returns for its shareholders.
Environmental, Social, & Governance ("ESG")
SandRidge maintains its Environmental, Social, and Governance
("ESG") commitment, to include no routine flaring of produced
natural gas and transporting over 95% of its produced water via
pipeline instead of truck. Additionally, SandRidge maintains an
emphasis on the safety and training of our workforce. We have
personnel dedicated to the close monitoring of our safety standards
and daily operations.

cash flow is a supplemental financial measure used by the Company's
management and by securities analysts, investors, lenders, rating
agencies and others who follow the industry as an indicator of the
Company's ability to internally fund exploration and development
activities or incur new debt. The Company also uses this measure
because operating cash flow relates to the timing of cash receipts
and disbursements that the Company may not control and may not
relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred.
Further, Adjusted operating cash flow allows the Company to compare
its operating performance and return on capital with those of other
companies without regard to financing methods and capital
structure. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as
a substitute for net cash provided by operating activities prepared
in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow
The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by
operating activities plus net cash (used in) provided by investing
activities less the cash flow impact of acquisitions and
divestitures. Free cash flow is a supplemental financial measure
used by the Company's management and by securities analysts,
investors, lenders, rating agencies and others who follow the
industry as an indicator of the Company's ability to internally
fund exploration and development activities or incur new debt. This
measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for net cash provided by operating or investing activities prepared
in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA
The Company defines EBITDA as net income before income tax
(benefit) expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization
- other and depreciation and depletion - oil and natural gas.
Adjusted EBITDA, as presented herein, is EBITDA excluding items
that management believes affect the comparability of operating
results such as items whose timing and/or amount cannot be
reasonably estimated or are non-recurring, as shown in the
following tables.
Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it
provides useful additional information used by the Company's
management and by securities analysts, investors, lenders, ratings
agencies and others who follow the industry for analysis of the
Company's financial and operating performance on a recurring basis
and the Company's ability to internally fund exploration and
development activities or incur new debt. In addition, management
believes that adjusted EBITDA is widely used by professional
research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison and
investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas
industry. The Company's adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Reconciliation of Net Income Available to
Common Stockholders to Adjusted Net Income Available to Common
Stockholders
The Company defines adjusted net income as net income excluding
items that management believes affect the comparability of
operating results and are typically excluded from published
estimates by the investment community, including items whose timing
and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated or are non-recurring,
as shown in the following tables.
Management uses the supplemental measure of adjusted net income
as an indicator of the Company's operational trends and performance
relative to other oil and natural gas companies and believes it is
more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities
analysts. Adjusted net income is not a measure of financial
performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute
for net income available to common stockholders.

Reconciliation of General and Administrative to Adjusted
G&A
The Company reports and provides guidance on Adjusted G&A
per Boe because it believes this measure is commonly used by
management, analysts and investors as an indicator of cost
management and operating efficiency on a comparable basis from
period to period and to compare and make investment recommendations
of companies in the oil and gas industry. This non-GAAP measure
allows for the analysis of general and administrative spend without
regard to stock-based compensation programs and other non-recurring
cash items, if any, which can vary significantly between companies.
Adjusted G&A per Boe is not a measure of financial performance
under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for general
and administrative expense per Boe. Therefore, the Company's
Adjusted G&A per Boe may not be comparable to other companies'
similarly titled measures.
The Company defines adjusted G&A as general and
administrative expense adjusted for certain non-cash stock-based
compensation and other non-recurring items, if any, as shown in the
following tables:

Cautionary Note to Investors - This press release includes
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking
statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future
performance and reflect SandRidge's current beliefs and
expectations regarding future events and operating performance. The
forward-looking statements include projections and estimates of the
Company's corporate strategies, future operations, development
plans and appraisal programs, drilling inventory and locations,
estimated oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production,
price realizations and differentials, hedging program, projected
operating, general and administrative and other costs, projected
capital expenditures, tax rates, efficiency and cost reduction
initiative outcomes, liquidity and capital structure and the
Company's unaudited proved developed PV-10 reserve value of its

statements on our current expectations and assumptions and analyses
made by us in light of our experience and our perception of
historical trends, current conditions and expected future
developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate
under the circumstances. However, whether actual results and
developments will conform with our expectations and predictions is
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the
volatility of oil and natural gas prices, our success in
discovering, estimating, developing and replacing oil and natural
gas reserves, actual decline curves and the actual effect of adding
compression to natural gas wells, the availability and terms of
capital, the ability of counterparties to transactions with us to
meet their obligations, our timely execution of hedge transactions,
credit conditions of global capital markets, changes in economic
conditions, the amount and timing of future development costs, the
availability and demand for alternative energy sources, regulatory
changes, including those related to carbon dioxide and greenhouse
gas emissions, and other factors, many of which are beyond our
control. We refer you to the discussion of risk factors in Part I,
Item 1A - "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in
comparable "Risk Factor" sections of our Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q filed after such form 10-K. All of the forward-looking
statements made in this press release are qualified by these
cautionary statements. The actual results or developments
anticipated may not be realized or, even if substantially realized,
they may not have the expected consequences to or effects on our
Company or our business or operations. Such statements are not
guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments
may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements.
