Material Changes and Pro Forma Information
The filing provides unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements giving effect to the July Western Eagle Ford Acquisition as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2022. This includes pro forma statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and the year ended December 31, 2022. The filing does not provide specific GAAP revenue, profit, or cash flow figures for the current period within the text, referring instead to the attached Exhibit 99.2 for detailed pro forma numbers.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Outlook: Management presented reserve estimates using NYMEX forward pricing (as of November 30, 2023) to provide investors with market-based expectations of future cash flows. Average adjusted product prices used were $64.88/bbl for oil and $3.26/Mcf for natural gas for Crescent Energy.
- Risks and Contingencies: The Notes Offering is subject to market conditions. The filing cautions that PV-0 and PV-10 measures based on NYMEX pricing are non-GAAP, do not reflect income taxes, and do not represent fair market value. These measures should be viewed as alternatives to SEC pricing data, not substitutes.
