FIRST QUARTER 2024 OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • Pro forma 1Q 2024 average daily production volume of 37,970 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Boe/d”) (51% oil) (1) , up 3.7% relative to pro forma 4Q 2023 average daily production volume of 36,623 Boe/d (49% oil); estimated 14.3 pro forma net wells turned-in-line ("TIL") during the quarter (2)
  • 1Q 2024 average daily production volume of 35,349 Boe/d (52% oil), with a record high 13.1 estimated net wells TIL during the quarter
  • 1Q 2024 return of capital of $0.49 per share of Class A Common Stock, comprised of a $0.41 per share dividend and $0.08 per share of stock repurchases

  • Pro forma net line-of-sight (“LOS”) wells of 52.9 net wells as of March 31, 2024, comprised of 33.0 net spuds and 19.9 net permits (2)
  • 1Q 2024 Net income of $18.7 million, compared to net loss of $91.7 million in 4Q 2023, primarily driven by $137.6 million lower operating expenses as a result of no loss on sale of assets, no loss on extinguishment of debt, offset partially by $28.5 million of incremental commodity derivative losses and $24.0 million of higher income tax expense
  • 1Q 2024 Adjusted EBITDA (4) of $135.1 million, comparable to 4Q 2023 Adjusted EBITDA of $134.9 million
  • 1Q 2024 Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA (5) of $143.7 million, including contribution from the DJ Basin Acquisition (3) for the entire quarter, comparable to 4Q 2023 Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA of $143.6 million

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

  • On April 4, 2024, Sitio closed on the acquisition of 13,062 NRAs in the DJ Basin (the "DJ Basin Acquisition") for $126.6 million, net of an initial deposit and closing adjustments; the acquired assets produced an average of approximately 2,621 Boe/d (36% oil) and generated approximately $8.5 million of asset level cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2024
  • On April 8, 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 2.0 million shares from two of our largest non-sponsor Class C Shareholders in a privately negotiated block trade

Chris Conoscenti, Chief Executive Officer of Sitio, commented, "In the first quarter of 2024, production from our assets pro forma for the DJ Basin Acquisition reached an all-time company high of 37,970 boe/d, up by 3.7% relative to pro forma fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to activity in the Delaware Basin and Eagle Ford. In aggregate, pro forma average daily production volume in these two areas was up by approximately 8%, or approximately 1,750 boe/d, primarily as a result of the approximate 9.0 net wells turned-in-line during the quarter. We estimate that nearly 40% of the pro forma net wells TIL in the first quarter of 2024 came online during March, so we expect to see a more pronounced impact on second quarter production from these new wells. In March, we bought back 545,527 shares at an average price of $23.77, and in April, we capitalized on a unique opportunity to repurchase approximately 2.0 million shares from two of our largest Class C non-sponsor holders in a block trade. As expected, we closed the DJ Basin Acquisition on April 4th and we continue to have a strong pipeline of minerals acquisition opportunities to evaluate."

FINANCIAL UPDATE

Sitio's first quarter 2024 average unhedged realized prices including all expected quality, transportation and demand adjustments were $76.60 per barrel of oil, $1.15 per Mcf of natural gas and $20.71 per barrel of natural gas liquids, for a total equivalent price of $46.00 per barrel of oil equivalent. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company received $3.6 million in net cash settlements for commodity derivative contracts and as a result, average hedged realized prices were $77.62 per barrel of oil, $1.53 per Mcf of natural gas and $20.71 per barrel of natural gas liquids, for a total equivalent price of $47.12 per barrel of oil equivalent. This represents a $1.69 per barrel of oil equivalent, or a 3.7% increase relative to hedged realized prices for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Consolidated net income for the first quarter of 2024 was $18.7 million, which is $110.4 million higher than consolidated net loss in the fourth quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily driven by $137.6 million lower operating expenses as a result of no loss on sale of assets, no loss on extinguishment of debt, offset partially by $28.5 million of incremental commodity derivative losses and $24.0 million of higher income tax expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA was $135.1 million, comparable to fourth quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA of $134.9 million.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $860.0 million principal value of total debt outstanding (comprised of $260.0 million drawn on Sitio's revolving credit facility and $600.0 million of senior unsecured notes) and liquidity of $601.7 million, including $11.7 million of cash and $590.0 million of remaining availability under its $850.0 million credit facility.

Sitio did not add to or extinguish any of its commodity swaps or collars during the first quarter of 2024. A summary of the Company's existing commodity derivative contracts as of March 31, 2024 is included in the table below.

RETURN OF CAPITAL

The Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.41 per share of Class A Common Stock with respect to the first quarter of 2024. The dividend is payable on May 31, 2024 to the stockholders of record at the close of business on May 21, 2024. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased 545,527 shares of Class A Common Stock at an average price of $23.77 per share, representing 11% of Pro Forma Discretionary Cash Flow, or $0.08 per share used for stock repurchases. In total, Sitio's return of capital for the first quarter of 2024 is $0.49 cents per share of Class A Common Stock based on a payout ratio of 65% of Pro Forma Discretionary Cash Flow, which includes Discretionary Cash Flow for the three months ended March 31, 2024 for the DJ Basin Acquisition.

In April of 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 2.0 million shares, comprised of approximately 60% Class A Common Stock and 40% OpCo Units (associated Class C Common Stock was retired) from two of the largest non-sponsor Class C holders (the "April 2024 Negotiated Share Repurchase"). This transaction impacts the number of shares receiving a dividend with respect to the first quarter of 2024 since this repurchase occurred prior to the May 21, 2024 record date of the dividend declared for the first quarter of 2024.

Non-GAAP financial measures

Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, Discretionary Cash Flow, Pro Forma Discretionary Cash Flow and Cash G&A are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures used by our management and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, research analysts and others to assess the financial performance of our assets and their ability to sustain dividends over the long term without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis. Sitio believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to Sitio's management and external users because they allow for a comparison of operating performance on a consistent basis across periods.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus (a) interest expense, (b) provisions for taxes, (c) depreciation, depletion and amortization, (d) non-cash share-based compensation expense, (e) impairment of oil and natural gas properties, (f) gains or losses on unsettled derivative instruments, (g) change in fair value of the warrant liability, (h) loss on debt extinguishment, (i) merger-related transaction costs and (j) write off of financing costs.

We define Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA plus DJ Basin Acquisition EBITDA from January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024 that is not included in Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

We define Discretionary Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash and accrued interest expense and estimated cash taxes.

We define Pro Forma Discretionary Cash Flow as Discretionary Cash Flow plus DJ Basin Acquisition Discretionary Cash Flow from January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024 that is not included in Discretionary Cash Flow for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

We define Cash G&A as general and administrative expense less (a) non-cash share-based compensation expense, (b) merger-related transaction costs and (c) rental income.

These non-GAAP financial measures do not represent and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of our financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, Discretionary Cash Flow, Pro Forma Discretionary Cash Flow and Cash G&A may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that refer to projections, forecasts, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “seeks,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “prospects,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “should,” “would,” “will,” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the Company's expected results of operations, cash flows, financial position and future dividends; as well as certain future plans, expectations and objectives for the Company’s operations, including statements about our return of capital framework, our share repurchase program, the implementation thereof and the intended benefits, financial and operational guidance, strategy, synergies, certain levels of production, future operations, financial position, prospects, and plans. While forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, whether actual results and developments will meet our expectations and predictions depend on a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results, performance, and financial condition to differ materially from our expectations and predictions. Factors that could materially impact such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: commodity price volatility, the global economic uncertainty related to the large-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the conflict in the Israel-Gaza region and continued hostilities in the Middle East including increased tensions with Iran, the collapse of certain financial institutions and associated liquidity risks, announcements of voluntary production cuts by OPEC+ and others, and those other factors discussed or referenced in the "Risk Factors" section of Sitio’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and other publicly filed documents with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement made in this news release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all of them. Sitio undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future development, or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
