NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —
UNAUDITED
NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Matador Resources Company, a Texas corporation (“Matador” and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), is an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development, production and acquisition of oil and natural gas resources in the United States, with an emphasis on oil and natural gas shale and other unconventional plays. The Company’s current operations are focused primarily on the oil and liquids-rich portion of the Wolfcamp and Bone Spring plays in the Delaware Basin in Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. The Company also operates in the Eagle Ford shale play in South Texas and the Haynesville shale and Cotton Valley plays in Northwest Louisiana. Additionally, the Company conducts midstream operations in support of the Company’s exploration, development and production operations and provides natural gas processing, oil transportation services, oil, natural gas and produced water gathering services and produced water disposal services to third parties.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Financial Statements, Basis of Presentation, Consolidation and Significant Estimates
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) but do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2023 (the “Annual Report”). The Company consolidates certain subsidiaries and joint ventures that are less than wholly-owned and are not involved in oil and natural gas exploration, including its midstream joint venture, San Mateo Midstream, LLC (collectively with its subsidiaries, “San Mateo”), and the net income and equity attributable to the non-controlling interest in these subsidiaries have been reported separately as required by Accounting Standards Codification, Consolidation (Topic 810). The Company proportionately consolidates certain joint ventures that are less than wholly-owned and are involved in oil and natural gas exploration. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In management’s opinion, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2023. Amounts as of December 31, 2022 are derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions may also affect disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are based on a number of significant estimates, including oil and natural gas revenues, accrued assets and liabilities, stock-based compensation, valuation of derivative instruments, deferred tax assets and liabilities, purchase price allocations and oil and natural gas reserves. The estimates of oil and natural gas reserves quantities and future net cash flows are the basis for the calculations of depletion and impairment of oil and natural gas properties, as well as estimates of asset retirement obligations and certain tax accruals. While the Company believes its estimates are reasonable, changes in facts and assumptions or the discovery of new information may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Property and Equipment
The Company uses the full-cost method of accounting for its investments in oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, the Company is required to perform a ceiling test each quarter that determines a limit, or ceiling, on the capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties based primarily on the after-tax estimated future net cash flows from oil and natural gas properties using a 10% discount rate and the arithmetic average of first-day-of-the-month oil and natural gas prices for the prior 12-month period. For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the cost center ceiling was higher than the capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, and, as a result, no impairment charge was necessary.
The Company capitalized approximately $14.4 million and $11.4 million of its general and administrative costs for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $41.4 million and $35.0 million of its general and administrative costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company capitalized approximately $7.4 million and $3.0 million of its interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $16.1 million and $7.4 million of its interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Earnings Per Common Share
The Company reports basic earnings attributable to Matador shareholders per common share, which excludes the effect of potentially dilutive securities, and diluted earnings attributable to Matador shareholders per common share, which includes the effect of all potentially dilutive securities unless their impact is anti-dilutive.

NOTE 3 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On April 12, 2023, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company completed the acquisition of Advance Energy Partners Holdings, LLC (“Advance”) from affiliates of EnCap Investments L.P., including certain oil and natural gas producing properties, undeveloped acreage and midstream assets located primarily in Lea County, New Mexico and Ward County, Texas (the “Advance Acquisition”). The Advance Acquisition had an effective date of January 1, 2023 and an aggregate purchase price consisting of (i) an amount in cash equal to approximately $1.60 billion (which amount is subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments) (the “Cash Consideration”) and (ii) potential additional cash consideration of $7.5 million for each month of 2023 in which the average oil price (as defined in the securities purchase agreement) exceeds $85 per barrel (all such payments for the 12 months in 2023, the “Contingent Consideration”). The Cash Consideration was paid upon the closing of the Advance Acquisition and was funded by a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s reserves-based revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”). In October 2023, the Company paid $7.5 million of the Contingent Consideration, as the average oil price for the month of September 2023 exceeded $85 per barrel.
The Advance Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC Topic 805”). Under ASC Topic 805, the purchase price is allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the respective acquisition date, with any excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. As the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Advance, the acquisition was treated as an asset acquisition for tax purposes.
The Company recorded the Contingent Consideration at fair value on the date of the business combination and will record the change in the fair value in future periods as “Other (expense) income” in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the Contingent Consideration was $21.2 million at April 12, 2023. The change in fair value of the Contingent Consideration included in “Other (expense) income” during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was an expense of $15.7 million and income of $0.2 million, respectively. The Company made no cash payments related to the Contingent Consideration during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The estimated fair value of the remaining payments of the Contingent Consideration for the fourth quarter was $13.5 million as of September 30, 2023. The Company used the Monte Carlo simulation method to measure the fair value of the Contingent Consideration, which has unobservable inputs and is thus classified at Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 9 for discussion of the fair value hierarchy).

The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. The fair value of oil and gas properties and asset retirement obligations were measured using the discounted cash flow technique of valuation.
Significant inputs to the valuation of oil and gas properties include estimates of: (i) reserves, (ii) future operating and development costs, (iii) future commodity prices, (iv) future plugging and abandonment costs, (v) estimated future cash flows, (vi) recent market comparable transactions for unproved acreage and (vii) a market-based weighted average cost of capital rate. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates and are the most sensitive and subject to change.
The results of operations for the Advance Acquisition since the closing date have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The oil and natural gas production from Advance increased the Company’s revenues and net income for the period from April 12, 2023 through September 30, 2023 by $222.4 million and $120.3 million, respectively.
Pro Forma Information
The following unaudited pro forma financial information represents a summary of the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, assuming the Advance Acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2022.

The information below reflects certain nonrecurring pro forma adjustments that were directly related to the business combination based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions that the Company believes provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the Advance Acquisition, including (i) the increase in depletion reflecting the relative fair values and production volumes attributable to Advance’s properties and the revision to the depletion rate reflecting the reserve volumes acquired, (ii) adjustments to interest expense as a result of the incremental borrowings necessary to finance the Advance Acquisition and (iii) the estimated tax impacts of the pro-forma adjustments. The pro forma financial information does not reflect the benefits of projected synergies, potential cost savings or the costs that may be necessary to achieve such savings, opportunities to increase revenue generation or other factors that may result from the Advance Acquisition and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results.

Between September 30, 2023 and October 24, 2023, San Mateo repaid $23.0 million of borrowings under the San Mateo Credit Facility.
Credit Agreements
MRC Energy Company
The borrowing base under the Credit Agreement is determined semi-annually as of May 1 and November 1 by the lenders based primarily on the estimated value of the Company’s proved oil and natural gas reserves at December 31 and June 30 of each year, respectively. The Company and the lenders may each request an unscheduled redetermination of the borrowing base once between scheduled redetermination dates. On March 31, 2023, the lenders completed their review of the Company’s proved oil and natural gas reserves, and, as a result, the Company and its lenders entered into an amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things: (i) reaffirm the borrowing base at $2.25 billion, (ii) increase the elected commitment from $775.0 million to $1.25 billion and (iii) maintain the maximum facility amount at $1.50 billion. This March 2023 reaffirmation of the borrowing base constituted the regularly scheduled May 1 redetermination.
On October 19, 2023, the lenders completed their review of the Company’s proved oil and natural gas reserves, and, as a result, the Company and its lenders entered into an amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things: (i) increase the borrowing base from $2.25 billion to $2.50 billion, (ii) increase the elected commitment from $1.25 billion to $1.325 billion and (iii) increase the maximum facility amount from $1.50 billion to $2.00 billion. This October 2023 redetermination constituted the regularly scheduled November 1 redetermination. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are limited to the lowest of the borrowing base, the maximum facility amount and the elected commitment (subject to compliance with the covenants noted below). The Credit Agreement matures October 31, 2026.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain (i) a current ratio, which is defined as (x) total consolidated current assets plus the unused availability under the Credit Agreement divided by (y) total consolidated current liabilities less current maturities under the Credit Agreement, of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 at the end of each fiscal quarter and (ii) a debt to EBITDA ratio, which is defined as debt outstanding (net of up to $75.0 million of cash or cash equivalents), divided by a rolling four quarter EBITDA calculation, of 3.5 to 1.0 or less. The Company believes that it was in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement at September 30, 2023.
San Mateo Midstream, LLC
The San Mateo Credit Facility is non-recourse with respect to Matador and its wholly-owned subsidiaries but is guaranteed by San Mateo’s subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of San Mateo’s assets, including real property. The San Mateo Credit Facility matures December 9, 2026, and the lender commitments under that facility were $485.0 million at September 30, 2023. The San Mateo Credit Facility includes an accordion feature, which provides for potential increases in lender commitments of up to $735.0 million.
The San Mateo Credit Facility requires San Mateo to maintain a debt to EBITDA ratio, which is defined as total consolidated funded indebtedness outstanding (as defined in the San Mateo Credit Facility) divided by a rolling four quarter EBITDA calculation, of 5.0 or less, subject to certain exceptions. The San Mateo Credit Facility also requires San Mateo to maintain an interest coverage ratio, which is defined as a rolling four quarter EBITDA calculation divided by San Mateo’s consolidated interest expense for such period, of 2.5 or more. The San Mateo Credit Facility also restricts the ability of San Mateo to distribute cash to its members if San Mateo’s liquidity is less than 10% of the lender commitments under the San Mateo Credit Facility. The Company believes that San Mateo was in compliance with the terms of the San Mateo Credit Facility at September 30, 2023.
Senior Unsecured Notes
At September 30, 2023, the Company had $699.2 million of outstanding 2026 Notes, which have a 5.875% coupon rate. The 2026 Notes mature September 15, 2026, and interest is payable on the 2026 Notes semi-annually in arrears on each March 15 and September 15.

NOTE 6 — INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded a current income tax provision of $9.0 million for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and a deferred income tax provision of $5.6 million and $119.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a current income tax provision of $0.3 million and $51.9 million, respectively, and a deferred income tax provision of $113.7 million and $266.5 million, respectively.
The Company’s effective income tax rates of 5% and 18% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to recognizing research and experimental expenditure tax credits of $65.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, which were partially offset by permanent differences between book and taxable income and state taxes, primarily in New Mexico. The Company’s effective income tax rate of 25% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to permanent differences between book and taxable income and state taxes, primarily in New Mexico.
The Company recognizes tax benefits from an uncertain tax position on the basis of a two-step process in which (i) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities based upon the technical merits of the position and (ii) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits (“UTB”) of $28.0 million as a result of research and experimental expenditures related to horizontal drilling and completion innovations. There were no UTBs as of December 31, 2022. Although the Company believes it has adequately reserved for its uncertain tax positions in respect of such research and experimental expenditures, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different. The timing as to when the Company will substantially resolve the uncertainties associated with the UTBs is unknown as of October 24, 2023.

Five Point paid to the Company $23.7 million and $22.8 million of performance incentives during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These performance incentives are recorded when received, net of the $1.9 million deferred tax impact to Matador for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and net of the $5.0 million and $4.8 million deferred tax impact to Matador for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, in “Additional paid-in capital” in the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. These performance incentives for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are also denoted as “Contributions related to formation of San Mateo” under “Financing activities” in the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity.
