Forward-Looking Statements

    This report includes forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this report, including those regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, well expectations and drilling plans, estimated production levels, expected oil and natural gas pricing, estimated oil and natural gas reserves or the present value thereof, reserve increases, service costs, impact of inflation, capital expenditures, budget, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, the words “will,” “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “budgeted,” “guidance,” “expect,” “may,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential,” “plan,” “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words.

    Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, the following risks and uncertainties:

• the severity and duration of world health events, including the COVID-19 pandemic, related economic repercussions, including disruptions in the oil and gas industry;
• actions by the members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and Russia (together with OPEC and other allied producing countries) with respect to oil production levels and announcements of potential changes in such levels;
• the benefits of the recently completed transactions with SandPoint Operating, LLC, a subsidiary of SandPoint Resources, LLC (collectively, “SandPoint”) and Sundance Energy, Inc. and its affiliated entities (collectively, “Sundance”);
• risks related to the recently completed Sundance and SandPoint transactions, including the risk that the benefits of the transactions may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, that we will fail to successfully integrate the properties and assets into our business and that management attention will be diverted to integration-related issues;
• operational challenges relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus, including logistical challenges, protecting the health and well-being of our employees, remote work arrangements, performance of contracts and supply chain disruptions;
• volatility in natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids prices;
• future cash flows and their adequacy to maintain our ongoing operations;
• liquidity, including our ability to satisfy our short- or long-term liquidity needs;
• our borrowing capacity, future covenant compliance, cash flow and liquidity;
• operating results;
• asset disposition efforts or the timing or outcome thereof;
• ongoing and prospective joint ventures, their structures and substance, and the likelihood of their finalization or the timing thereof;
• the amount, nature and timing of capital expenditures, including future development costs;
• timing, cost and amount of future production of oil and natural gas;
• availability of drilling and production equipment or availability of oil field labor;
• availability, cost and terms of capital;
• timing and successful drilling and completion of wells;
• availability and cost for transportation of oil and natural gas;
• costs of exploiting and developing our properties and conducting other operations;
• competition in the oil and natural gas industry;
• general economic and political conditions, including inflationary pressures, increased interest rates, a general economic slowdown or recession, political tensions and war;
• opportunities to monetize assets;
• our ability to execute on strategic initiatives;
• effectiveness of our risk management activities including hedging strategy;
4


• environmental liabilities;
• counterparty credit risk;
• governmental regulation and taxation of the oil and natural gas industry;
• developments in world oil and natural gas markets and in oil and natural gas-producing countries;
• uncertainty regarding our future operating results; and
• other risks and uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Many of the foregoing risks and uncertainties, as well as risks and uncertainties that are currently unknown to us, are, and may be, exacerbated by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, increasing economic uncertainty and inflationary pressures and the COVID-19 pandemic and any consequent worsening of the global business and economic environment. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this quarterly report, our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 or other filings with the SEC, occur or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.    

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements we make in this report are reasonable, we can give no assurance that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. We disclose important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and our other filings with the SEC. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf.

    All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to any such forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

SilverBow Resources, Inc. and Subsidiary

(1)           General Information

SilverBow Resources, Inc. (“SilverBow,” the “Company,” or “we”) is an independent oil and gas company headquartered in Houston, Texas. The Company's strategy is focused on acquiring and developing assets in the Eagle Ford Shaleand Austin Chalk located in South Texas. Being a committed and long-term operator in South Texas, the Company possesses a significant understanding of the reservoirs in the region. We leverage this competitive understanding to assemble high quality drilling inventory while continuously enhancing our operations to maximize returns on capital invested.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited and certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We believe that the disclosures presented are adequate to allow the information presented not to be misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.2021.
(2)          Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect necessary adjustments, all of which were of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein, and are in the opinion of our management necessary for a fair presentation.

Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SilverBow and its wholly owned subsidiary, SilverBow Resources Operating LLC, which are engaged in the exploration, development, acquisition, and operation of oil and gas properties, with a focus on oil and natural gas reserves in the Eagle Ford trend in Texas. Our undivided interests in oil and gas properties are accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method, whereby our proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses are included in the appropriate classifications in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

COVID-19.The spread of COVID-19 and its impact on the global supply of and demand for crude oil caused volatility in the market price for crude oil during 2020. The spot price of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil declined over 50% in March and April of 2020 before gradually improving through the rest of 2020 and into the first half of 2021. The spot price of Brent and WTI crude oil closed at approximately $64 and $59 per barrel, respectively, on March 31, 2021, and approximately $77 and $74 per barrel, respectively, on June 30, 2021.

In response to these market conditions, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the volatility in oil prices during 2020, the Company released its sole drilling rig in April 2020 and deferred the completion and placement on production of eight wells until the second half of 2020. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company restarted completions activity and returned to sales all previously curtailed volumes as of December 31, 2020.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company operated under a “work from home” policy applicable to all employees other than essential personnel whose physical presence was required either in the office or in the field until March 2021. Effective March 2021, the Company adjusted its “work from home” policy to a flexible work schedule, so that all employees returned to the corporate office, on a weekly rotation, while continuing to work from home. Except as described above regarding the curtailment of production in 2020, SilverBow has not experienced any material interruption to its ordinary course business processes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the volatility in oil and gas prices. The Company will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and follow the advice of government and health leaders.

Subsequent Events. We have evaluated subsequent events requiring potential accrual or disclosure in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

On August 3, 2021, we acquired additional working interest in 12 wells that we currently operate and additional acreage in Webb County for total aggregate consideration of approximately $24 million.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during each reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that
10

Table of Contents
may cause actual results to differ materially from such estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions underlying these financial statements include:

the estimated quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves used to compute depletion of oil and natural gas properties, the related present value of estimated future net cash flows therefrom, and the Ceiling Test impairment calculation,
estimates related to the collectability of accounts receivable and the creditworthiness of our customers,
estimates of the counterparty bank risk related to letters of credit that our customers may have issued on our behalf,
estimates of future costs to develop and produce reserves,
accruals related to oil and gas sales, capital expenditures and lease operating expenses, (“LOE”),
estimates in the calculation of share-based compensation expense,
estimates of our ownership in properties prior to final division of interest determination,
the estimated future cost and timing of asset retirement obligations,
estimates made in our income tax calculations, including the valuation of our deferred tax assets,
estimates in the calculation of the fair value of commodity derivative assets and liabilities,
estimates in the assessment of current litigation claims against the Company,
estimates used in the assessment of business combinations and asset purchases,
estimates in amounts due with respect to open state regulatory audits, and
estimates on future lease obligations.

While we are not currently aware of any material revisions to any of our estimates, there will likely be future revisions to our estimates resulting from matters such as new accounting pronouncements, changes in ownership interests, payouts, joint venture audits, reallocations by purchasers or pipelines, or other corrections and adjustments common in the oil and gas

industry, many of which relate to prior periods. These types of adjustments cannot be currently estimated and are expected to be recorded in the period during which the adjustments are known.

We are subject to legal proceedings, claims, liabilities and environmental matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. We accrue for losses when such losses are considered probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.

Property and Equipment. We follow the “full-cost” method of accounting for oil and natural gas property and equipment costs. Under this method of accounting, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in the exploration, development, and acquisition of oil and natural gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs may be incurred both prior to and after the acquisition of a property and include lease acquisitions, geological and geophysical services, drilling, completion, and equipment. Internal costs incurred that are directly identified with exploration, development, and acquisition activities undertaken by us for our own account, and which are not related to production, general corporate overhead, or similar activities, are also capitalized. For both the three months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, such internal costs when capitalized totaled $1.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively.million. For the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, such internal costs when capitalized totaled $2.3$2.2 million and $2.0$2.3 million, respectively. Interest costs are also capitalized to unproved oil and natural gas properties (refer to Note 6 of these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion onproperties. There was no capitalized interest costs).on our unproved properties for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

The “Property and Equipment” balances on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are summarized for presentation purposes. The following is a detailed breakout of our “Property and Equipment” balances (in thousands):

No gains or losses are recognized upon the sale or disposition of oil and natural gas properties, except in transactions involving a significant amount of reserves or where the proceeds from the sale of oil and natural gas properties would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and natural gas attributable to a cost center. Internal costs associated with selling properties are expensed as incurred.
11

Table of Contents

We compute the provision for depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) of oil and natural gas properties using the unit-of-production method. Under this method, we compute the provision by multiplying the total unamortized costs of oil and natural gas properties, including future development costs, gas processing facilities, and both capitalized asset retirement obligations and undiscounted abandonment costs of wells to be drilled, net of salvage values, but excluding costs of unproved properties, by an overall rate determined by dividing the physical units of oil and natural gas produced (which excludes natural gas consumed in operations) during the period by the total estimated units of proved oil and natural gas reserves (which excludes natural gas consumed in operations) at the beginning of the period. Future development costs are estimated on a property-by-property basis based on current economic conditions. The period over which we will amortize these properties is dependent on our production from these properties in future years. Furniture, fixtures and other equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated by the straight-line method at rates based on the estimated useful lives of the property, which range between two and 20 years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

Geological and geophysical (“G&G”) costs incurred on developed properties are recorded in “Proved oil and gas properties” and therefore subject to amortization. G&G costs incurred that are associated with unproved properties are capitalized in “Unproved oil and gas properties” and evaluated as part of the total capitalized costs associated with a prospect. The cost of unproved properties not being amortized is assessed quarterly, on a property-by-property basis, to determine whether such properties have been impaired. In determining whether such costs should be impaired, we evaluate current drilling results, lease expiration dates, current oil and gas industry conditions, economic conditions, capital availability and available geological and geophysical information. Any impairment assessed is added to the cost of proved properties being amortized.

Full-Cost Ceiling Test. At the end of each quarterly reporting period, the unamortized cost of oil and natural gas properties (including natural gas processing facilities, capitalized asset retirement obligations, net of related salvage values and deferred income taxes) is limited to the sum of the estimated future net revenues from proved properties (excluding cash outflows from recognized asset retirement obligations, including future development and abandonment costs of wells to be

Table of Contents
drilled, using the preceding 12-months’ average price based on closing prices on the first day of each month, adjusted for price differentials, discounted at 10% and the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties) adjusted for related income tax effects (“Ceiling Test”).

The quarterly calculations of the Ceiling Test and provision for DD&A are based on estimates of proved reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves and in projecting the future rates of production, timing and plan of development. The accuracy of any reserves estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of drilling, testing, and production subsequent to the date of the estimate may justify revision of such estimates. Accordingly, reserves estimates are often different from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Due to the effects of pricing and timing of projects we reported a non-cash There was no impairment write-down, on a pre-tax basis, of $260.3 million and $355.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, on our oil2022 and natural gas properties. There was 0 impairment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

If future capital expenditures outpace future discounted net cash flows in our reserve calculations, if we have significant declines in our oil and natural gas reserves volumes (which also reduces our estimate of discounted future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves) or if oil or natural gas prices decline, it is possible that non-cash write-downs of our oil and natural gas properties will occur again in the future. We cannot control and cannot predict what future prices for oil and natural gas will be; therefore, we cannot estimate the amount of any potential future non-cash write-down of our oil and natural gas properties due to decreases in oil or natural gas prices. However, it is reasonably possible that we will record additional Ceiling Test write-downs in future periods.

Accounts Receivable, Net. We assess the collectability of accounts receivable, and based on our judgment, we accrue a reserve when we believe a receivable may not be collected. At both June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we had an allowance for doubtful accounts of less than $0.1 million. The allowance for doubtful accounts has been deducted from the total “Accounts receivable, net” balance on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

At June 30, 2022, our “Accounts receivable, net” balance included $80.3 million for oil and gas sales, $1.6 million due from joint interest owners, $26.0 million for purchase price adjustments related to our Sundance acquisition, $1.6 million for severance tax credit receivables and $0.7 million for other receivables. At December 31, 2021, our “Accounts receivable, net” balance included $23.9$45.3 million for oil and gas sales, $0.6$1.9 million due from joint interest owners, $1.0 million for severance tax credit receivables and $0.4 million for other receivables. At December 31, 2020, our “Accounts receivable, net” balance included $18.8 million for oil and gas sales, $4.0 million due from joint interest owners, $2.4 million for severance tax credit receivables and $0.7$1.5 million for other receivables.

Supervision Fees. Consistent with industry practice, we charge a supervision fee to the wells we operate, including our wells, in which we own up to a 100% working interest. Supervision fees are recorded as a reduction to “General and administrative, net,” on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The amount of supervision fees charged for each of the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 20202021 did not exceed our actual costs incurred. The total amount of supervision fees charged to the wells we operated was $1.2$1.7 million and $0.9$1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively, and $2.4$3.4 million and $2.2$2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively.

Income Taxes. Deferred taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, given the provisions of the enacted tax laws. In March and April 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused volatility in the market price for crude oil due to the disruption of global supply and demand. In response to these market conditions and given the decline in oil prices and economic outlook for our Company, during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 managementManagement has determined that it was not more likely than not that the Company would realize future cash benefits from its remaining federal carryover items and other federal deferred tax assets and, accordingly, has recorded a full valuation allowance in the second quarter to offset its net federal deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities. As a result of the full valuation allowance established at June 30, 2020, we recorded an income tax provision of $22.4 million and $21.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, which was inclusive of state income tax expense. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its net federal deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities, with the exception of a $6.6 million and $5.5 million deferred tax liability that was recorded as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We recorded an income tax provision of $4.4 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, which was primarily attributable to a deferred federal income tax expense and state deferred income tax expense. The provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is a product of the overall forecasted annual effective tax rate applied to the year to date income. There was no income tax expense or benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

In the event we were to undergo an “ownership change” (as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), our ability to use net operating losses generated prior to the ownership change may be limited. Generally, an “ownership change” occurs if one or more shareholders, each of whom is deemed to own five percent or more in value of a corporation’s stock, increase their aggregate percentage ownership by more than 50 percent over the lowest percentage of stock owned by those shareholders at any time during the preceding three-year period. Based on currently available information, we do not believe an ownership change has occurred through June 30, 2022. However, our recent acquisitions involving the issuance of the Company's common stock and other transactions by stockholders, did increase the likelihood that the Company could experience an ownership change in the future. If a subsequent ownership change were to occur as a result of future transactions in the Company’s common stock, the Company’s use of remaining U.S. tax attributes may be limited.

Our policy is to record interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we did not have any accrued liability for uncertain tax positions and do not anticipate recognition of any significant liabilities for uncertain tax positions during the next 12 months.

    On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer-side Social Security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds and modifications to the net interest deduction limitation. The Company continues to examine the impact that the CARES Act may have on its business but doesdid not currently expect the CARES Act to have a material effectimpact on itsthe Company's financial condition, results of operation, or liquidity.

    Revenue Recognition. Our reported oil and gas sales are comprised of revenues from oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) sales. Revenues from each product stream are recognized at the point when control of the product is transferred to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Prices for our products are either negotiated on a monthly basis or tied to market indices. The Company has determined that these contracts represent performance obligations which are satisfied when control of the commodity transfers to the customer, typically through the delivery of the specified commodity to a designated delivery point. Natural gas revenues are recognized based on the actual volume of natural gas sold to the purchasers.

The following table provides information regarding our oil and gas sales, by product, reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 20212022 and 20202021 and the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 20202021 (in thousands):

    Cash and Cash Equivalents. We consider all highly liquid instruments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These amounts do not include cash balances that are contractually restricted. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances with major financial institutions, which at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company monitors the financial condition of the financial institutions and has experienced no losses associated with these accounts.

    Treasury Stock. Our treasury stock repurchases are reported at cost and are included in “Treasury stock, held at cost” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

conjunction with our post-closing settlement for a previously disclosed acquisition. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 we purchased 74,146 treasury shares to satisfy withholding tax obligations arising upon the vesting of restricted shares.

(3)       Leases

The Company adopted the standard provided infollows the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 and elected the package of practical expedients that allows an entity to carry forward historical accounting treatment relating to lease identification and classification for existing leases upon adoption and the practical expedient related to land easements that allows an entity to carry forward historical accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements. The Company has made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have elected to not account for lease and non-lease components separately.
    
    The Company has contractual agreements for its corporate office lease, vehicle fleet, compressors, treating equipment, and for surface use rights. For leases with a primary term of more than 12 months, a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and the corresponding lease liability is recorded. The Company determines at inception if an arrangement is an operating or financing lease. As of June 30, 2021,2022, all of the Company’s leases were operating leases.

    The initial asset and liability balances are recorded at the present value of the payment obligations over the lease term. If lease terms include options to extend the lease and it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option, the lease term used for capitalization includes the expected renewal periods. Most leases do not provide an implicit interest rate. Unless the lease contract contains an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the time of lease inception to compute the fair value of the lease payments. The ROU asset balance and current and non-current lease liabilities are reported separately on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain leases have payment terms that vary based on the usage of the underlying assets. Variable lease payments are not included in ROU assets and lease liabilities. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
    
    Lease costs represent the straight-line lease expense of ROU assets and short-term leases. The components of lease cost are classified as follows (in thousands):

(4)          Share-Based Compensation

    Share-Based Compensation Plans

    In 2016, the Company adopted the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “2016 Plan”). The Company also adopted the Inducement Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Inducement Plan,” and, together with the 2016 Plan, the “Plans”) on December 15, 2016. Under the Plans, the Company does not estimate the forfeiture rate during the initial calculation of compensation cost but rather has elected to account for forfeitures in compensation cost when they occur.

    The Company computes a deferred tax benefit for restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based stock units (“PSUs”) and stock options expected to generate future tax deductions by applying its effective tax rate to the expense recorded. For RSUs, the Company's actual tax deduction is based on the value of the units at the time of vesting.

The expense for awards issued to both employees and non-employees, which was recorded in “General and administrative, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations was $1.7 million and $1.2 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and 2020$2.7 million and $2.3 million and $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and 2020,

Table of Contents
respectively. Capitalized share-based compensation was less than $0.1 million for both the three months ended June 30, 20212022 and 20202021 and $0.1 million for both the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

We view stock option awards and RSUs with graded vesting as single awards with an expected life equal to the average expected life of component awards, and we amortize the awards on a straight-line basis over the life of the awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures in compensation cost when they occur.

    Stock Option Awards

    The compensation cost related to stock option awards is based on the grant date fair value and is typically expensed over the vesting period (generally one to five years). We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards.

Our outstanding stock option awards had $0.1$0.6 million measurable aggregate intrinsic value at June 30, 2021.2022. At June 30, 2021,2022, the weighted-average remaining contract life of stock option awards outstanding was 4.64.9 years and exercisable was 4.44.9 years. The total intrinsic value of stock option awards exercisable was less than $0.1$0.6 million for the six months endedas of June 30, 2021.2022.

Restricted Stock Units

The compensation cost related to restricted stock awards is based on the grant date fair value and is typically expensed over the requisite service period (generally one to five years).

As of June 30, 2021,2022, we had $1.9$3.7 million unrecognized compensation expense related to our RSUs which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.02.3 years.

Performance-Based Stock Units

On February 20, 2018,May 21, 2019, the Company granted 30,70099,500 PSUs for which the number of shares earned iswas based on the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of the Company's common stock relative to the TSR of its selected peers during the performance period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020. The awards contain market conditions which allow a payout ranging between 0% payout and 200% of the target payout. The fair value as of the date of valuation was $41.66 per unit or 150.61% of the stock price. The compensation expense for these awards is based on the per unit grant date valuation using a Monte-Carlo simulation multiplied by the target payout level. The payout level is calculated based on actual stock price performance achieved during the performance period. The awards had a cliff-vesting period of three years and there are no outstanding awards as of June 30, 2021.

(5)          Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“Basic EPS”) has been computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) assumes, as of the beginning of the period, exercise of stock options and RSU grants using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS also assumes conversion of PSUs to common shares based on the number of shares (if any) that would be issuable, according to predetermined performance and market goals, if the end of the reporting period was the end of the performance period. Certain of our stock options and RSU grants that would potentially dilute Basic EPS in the future were also antidilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 20202021 are discussed below.

    Senior Secured Second Lien Notes. On December 15, 2017, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement for Senior Secured Second Lien Notes (as amended, the “Note Purchase Agreement,” and such second lien facility the “Second Lien”) among the Company as issuer, U.S. Bank National Association as agent and collateral agent, and certain holders that are a party thereto, and issued notes in an initial principal amount of $200.0 million, with a $2.0 million discount, for net proceeds of $198.0 million.

Effective November 12, 2021, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement, which extended the maturity date from December 15, 2024 to December 15, 2026 subject to paying down the principal amount of the Second Lien from $200.0 million to $150.0 million. The Company hasmade the ability, subject to$50.0 million redemption of the satisfaction of certain conditions (including complianceSecond Lien Notes on November 29, 2021.

    Interest on the Second Lien is payable quarterly and accrues at LIBOR plus 7.5%; provided that if LIBOR ceases to be available, the Second Lien provides for a mechanism to use ABR (an alternate base rate) plus 6.5% as the applicable interest rate. The definitions of LIBOR and ABR are set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement. To the extent that a payment, insolvency, or, at the holders’ election, another default exists and is continuing, all amounts outstanding under the Second Lien will bear interest at 2.0% per annum above the rate and margin otherwise applicable thereto. Additionally, to the extent the Company were to default on the Second Lien, this would potentially trigger a cross-default under our Credit Facility.

    The Company has the right, to the extent permitted under the Credit Facility and subject to the terms and conditions of the Second Lien, to optionally prepay the notes, subject to a repayment fee of 1.0% of the principal amount of the Second Lien being prepaid through December 15, 2021;2022; and thereafter, no premium. Additionally, the Second Lien contains customary mandatory prepayment obligations upon asset sales (including hedge terminations), casualty events and incurrences of certain debt, subject to, in certain circumstances, reinvestment periods. Management believes the probability of mandatory prepayment due to default is remote.

    The obligations under the Second Lien are secured, subject to certain exceptions and other permitted liens (including the liens created under the Credit Facility), by a perfected security interest, second in priority to the liens securing our Credit Facility, and mortgage lien on substantially all assets of the Company and its subsidiary, including a mortgage lien on oil and gas properties attributed with at least 85%90% of estimated PV-9 (defined below), of proved reserves of the Company and its subsidiary and 85%90% of the book value attributed to the PV-9 of the non-proved oil and gas properties of the Company. PV-9 is determined using commodity price assumptions by the administrative agent of the Credit Facility. PV-9 value is the estimated future net revenues to be generated from the production of proved reserves discounted to present value using an annual discount rate of 9%.

    The Second Lien contains an Asset Coverage Ratio, which is only tested (i) as a condition to issuance of additional notes and (ii) in connection with certain asset sales in order to determine whether the proceeds of such asset sale must be applied as a prepayment of the notes and includes in the numerator of the PV-10 (defined below), based on forward strip pricing, plus the swap mark-to-market value of the commodity derivative contracts of the Company and its restricted subsidiary and in the denominator the total net indebtedness of the Company and its restricted subsidiary, of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 as of each date of determination (the “Asset Coverage Ratio”). PV-10 value is the estimated future net revenues to be generated from the production of proved reserves discounted to present value using an annual discount rate of 10%.

    The Second Lien also contains a financial covenant measuring the ratio of total net debt-to-EBITDA, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement, for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters, not to exceed 4.53.25 to 1.0 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of June 30, 2021,2022, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Second Lien.

    The Second Lien contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants, including but not limited to, limitations on incurring debt and liens, limitations on making certain restricted payments, limitations on investments, limitations on asset sales and hedge unwinds, limitations on transactions with affiliates and limitations on modifying organizational documents and material contracts. The Second Lien contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders may declare all amounts outstanding under the Second Lien to be immediately due and payable.

(9)           Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis. Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, derivatives, the Credit Facility and the Second Lien.Lien Notes. The carrying amounts of cash and cash
30


equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the highly liquid or short-term nature of these instruments.

The fair values of our derivative contracts are computed using observable market data whereas our derivative collar contracts are valued using a Black-Scholes pricing modelmodel. The fair value of the current and are periodically verified against quotes from brokers.long-term 2021 WTI Contingency Payout and 2022 WTI Contingency Payout, included within “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively, is estimated using observable market data and a Monte Carlo pricing model. These are considered Level 2 valuations (defined below).

    The carrying value of our Credit Facility and Second Lien approximates fair value because the respective borrowing rates do not materially differ from market rates for similar borrowings. These are considered Level 3 valuations (defined below).

Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis. The Company applies the provisions of the fair value measurement standard on a non-recurring basis to its non-financial assets and liabilities, including oil and gas properties acquired and assessed for classification as a business or an asset and asset retirement obligations. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value estimation when acquisitions occur or asset retirement obligations are recorded. These are considered Level 3 valuations (defined below).

Asset retirement obligations. The initial measurement of asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) at fair value is recorded in the period in which the liability is incurred. Fair value is determined by calculating the present value of estimated future cash flows related to the liability. Estimating the future ARO requires management to make estimates and judgments regarding the timing and existence of a liability, as well as what constitutes adequate restoration when considering current regulatory requirements. Inherent in the fair value calculation are numerous assumptions and judgments, including the ultimate costs, inflation factors, credit-adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments.

2022 and 2021 Acquisitions. The Company recognized the assets acquired in our 2022 and 2021 acquisitions at cost at a relative fair value basis (refer to Note 7 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Fair value was determined using a discounted cash flow model. The underlying future commodity prices included in the Company’s estimated future cash flows of its proved oil and gas properties were determined using NYMEX forward strip prices as of the closing date of each acquisition. The estimated future cash flows also included management’s assumptions for the estimates of crude oil and natural gas proved properties, future operating and development costs of the acquired properties and risk adjusted discount rates.

The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine the fair value:

Level 1 – Uses quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Instruments in this category have comparable fair values for identical instruments in active markets.

23


Level 2 – Uses quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or observable inputs for assets or liabilities in non-active markets. Instruments in this category are periodically verified against quotes from brokers and include our commodity derivatives that we value using commonly accepted industry-standard models which contain inputs such as contract prices, risk-free rates, volatility measurements and other observable market data that are obtained from independent third-party sources.

Level 3 – Uses unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities that are in non-active markets.


31


The following table presents our assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at fair value as of each of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy. For additional discussion related to the fair value of the Company's derivatives, refer to Note 8 of these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

(10)           Asset Retirement Obligations

Liabilities for legal obligations associated with the retirement obligations of tangible long-lived assets are initially recorded at fair value in the period in which they are incurred. Estimates for the initial recognition of asset retirement obligations are derived from historical costs as well as management's expectation of future cost environments and other unobservable inputs. As there is no corroborating market activity to support the assumptions used, the Company has designated these liabilities as Level 3 fair value measurements. When a liability is initially recorded, the carrying amount of the related asset is increased. The liability is discounted from the expected date of abandonment. Over time, accretion of the liability is recognized each period, and the capitalized cost is amortized on a unit-of-production basis as part of depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense for our oil and gas properties. Upon settlement of the liability, the Company either settles the

obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement which is included in the “Property and Equipment” balance on our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. This guidance requires us to record a liability for the fair value of our dismantlement and abandonment costs upon initial recording, excluding salvage values.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the Company's financial information and its condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report and its audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. The following information contains forward-looking statements; see “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 35 ofin this report.

Company Overview

    SilverBow is an independent oil and gas company headquartered in Houston, Texas. The Company's strategy is focused on acquiring and developing assets in the Eagle Ford Shaleand Austin Chalk located in South Texas where it has assembled approximately 130,000176,000 net acres across five operating areas. SilverBow's acreage position in each of its operating areas is highly contiguous and designed for optimal and efficient horizontal well development. The Company has built a balanced portfolio of properties with a significant base of current production and reserves coupled with low-risk development drilling opportunities and meaningful upside from newer operating areas.
    Being a committed and long-term operator in South Texas, SilverBow possesses a significant understanding of the reservoir characteristics, geology, landowners and competitive landscape in the region. The Company leverages this in-depth knowledge to continue to assemble high quality drilling inventory while continuously enhancing its operations to maximize returns on capital invested.

Operational ResultsAcquisitions Update

    In the second quarter of 2022, SilverBow completed its transactions with SandPoint on May 10, 2022 and Sundance on June 30, 2022. In connection with the transaction with SandPoint, the acquired SandPoint oil and gas assets contributed 50 days of total production with SilverBow completing and bringing online one well that had been previously drilled by SandPoint. The well is operating above initial expectations and represents one of SilverBow's top 25 gas wells. The Sundance acquisition did not contribute to second quarter production and associated operational cash flows as it did not close until the last day of the second quarter. In conjunction with the closing of the acquisitions, the Company revised its 2022 capital budget to a range of $300-$330 million. SilverBow plans to drill and develop the acquired assets in the second half of 2022. As a result of the acquisitions and the addition of a second drilling rig, SilverBow expects to benefit from increased scale and greater operational efficiencies.

Operational Results
    Total production for the six months ended June 30, 20212022 increased 6%18% from the six months ended June 30, 20202021 to 197232 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day as SilverBow pursued a moderated growth strategy and did not have any curtailed production impacting results.

During the second quarter of 2021,2022, SilverBow drilled 10seven net wells and completed one well and brought one well online. Drillingonline 15 net wells. The Company completed and completion (“D&C”) spending duringbrought online an eight-well pad in its Webb County Gas area. This was the quarter was primarily related to drilling activitylargest pad developed in SilverBow’s history, achieving excellent pad pumping efficiency and averaging 11 stages completed per day comprising 4.6 million pounds of sand per day. Two of the eight wells on this pad were located in the liquids-rich La Salle Condensate area. As previously planned,Austin Chalk formation and are the best performing Austin Chalk wells the Company accelerated activity ofhas drilled to date when normalized on a per lateral foot basis. SilverBow also completed and brought online a three-well pad in its mid-year oil development program. Due to further reduced drilling cycle timesWestern Condensate area and efficiencies, SilverBow was able to drill three additional wellsa three-well pad in its Central Oil area during the second quarter. Notably, the Company drilled a four well pad in approximately 25 days, or six days per well on average. FirstBoth pads are currently outperforming expectations with initial production from the nine La Salle Condensate wells is expected in the third quarter of 2021. SilverBow is reviewing early data and appraising its Austin Chalk acreage through the one well completed in the second quarter.rates exceeding their respective type curves.

SilverBow continues to further its capital and operational efficiencies across its operating areas. Year-to-date, the Company drilled 20% more lateral feet per day and reducedoperated one drilling costs by 9% compared to 2020. On the completion side, SilverBow completed 17% more stages per day, pumped 8% more proppant per day and reduced completion costs by 2%. Taken altogether, D&C costs per lateral foot are 5% lower in 2021 as compared to 2020.

Production management remains a key focus area for the Company, and the maintenance and optimization projects executed during the first quarter of 2021 continue to support strong performance from the developed production base. Inrig throughout the second quarter, and as previously planned added a second rig in conjunction with the closing of 2021, further base production optimizations were realizedthe Sundance acquisition on June 30, 2022. The Company intends to continue drilling at a two rig pace through expanded compressionthe second half of 2022, with one rig drilling primarily gas-weighted locations and artificial lift installations. Thisone rig drilling primarily liquids-weighted locations. Capital and operating costs continue to face inflationary pressures as a result of high demand for products, materials and services provided by vendors in conjunction with overall supply chain disruptions and tight labor market conditions. SilverBow is addressing cost inflation through enhanced procurement initiatives, pre-ordering key materials and a focus on base production management is driving production uplifts with shallower declines. The continued outperformance of SilverBow's initial Austin Chalk well, which came online in February 2021, further supported its production base during the second quarter. As of the date of this report, the well is still producing above 10 million cubic feet of natural gas per day (“MMcf/d”) and has produced a cumulative 1.9 billion cubic feet (“Bcf”) over the first five months.

For the third quarter of 2021, SilverBow plans to drill six net wells across the McMullen Oil and Webb County Gas areas, and complete and bring online 11 net wells across the La Salle Condensate, McMullen Oil and Webb County Gas areas. The development program reflects the acceleration of liquids-rich wells planned earlier this year, as well as a balancing of high-rate gas wells to capture favorable prices heading into year-end. Not included in the well counts are three gross (one net) non-operated wells in the Webb Count Gas area, whichoperational efficiencies.

Through the first half of 2021, the Company maintained zero recordable incidents. Safety is core to SilverBow’s operations and the Company has demonstrated a commitment to delivering high-returns through its industry-leading safety environment.
2021 Cost Reduction Initiatives: SilverBow continues to focus on cost reduction measures in the areas that it can control. These initiatives include the use of regional sand in completions and improved utilization of existing facilities. As previously mentioned, the Company continues to improve its process for drilling, completing and equipping wells. SilverBow's procurement team takes a process-oriented approach to reducing the total delivered costs of purchased services by examining costs at their most granular level. Services are routinely sourced directly from the suppliers. The Company's LOE and workover expenses were $11.9 million or $0.33 per thousand cubic feet of gas equivalent (“Mcfe”) for the first six months of 2021, as compared to $10.8 million or $0.32 per Mcfe for the same period in 2020. The increase in costs was due to incremental expenses related to Winter Storm Uri, higher utilities and higher compression costs. These increases were partially mitigated by lower chemical, treating and salt water disposal costs.
SilverBow's net general and administrative (“net G&A”) costs were $9.6 million, or $0.27 per Mcfe, and cash G&A costs were $7.4 million (a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as net G&A costs less $2.3 million of share-based compensation), or $0.21 per Mcfe, for the first six months of 2021, compared to net G&A costs of $12.1 million, or $0.36 per Mcfe, and cash G&A costs of $9.7 million (a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as net G&A costs less $2.4 million of share-based compensation), or $0.29 per Mcfe, for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

SilverBow reports cash G&A 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. In addition, the Company believes cash G&A expenses are used by analysts and others in valuation, comparison and investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas industry to allow for analysis of G&A spend without regard to stock-based compensation programs which can vary substantially from company to company. Cash G&A expenses should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, total net G&A expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    SilverBow's primary use of cash has been to fund capital expenditures to develop its oil and gas properties, fund acquisitions and to repay Credit Facility borrowings. As of June 30, 2021,2022, the Company’s liquidity consisted of $2.1$9.4 million of cash-on-hand and $102.0$274.9 million in available borrowings on its Credit Facility, which had a $300$775.0 million borrowing base.base, after factoring in approximately $6.1 million in letters of credit.

SilverBow along with its administrative agent requested an unscheduled redetermination of the borrowing base between scheduled redeterminations as part of the SandPoint and Sundance transactions. Effective June 22, 2022, SilverBow entered into the Tenth Amendment to its First Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement governing its Credit Facility, in conjunction with its unscheduled redetermination. The Tenth Amendment, among other things, increased the borrowing base under the Credit Facility to $775.0 million from $525.0 million effective upon the closing of the Sundance transaction on June 30, 2022; extended the maturity date for the Credit Agreement to October 19, 2026; increased the maximum credit amounts from $1 billion to $2 billion; and decreased the applicable margin used to calculate the interest rate under the Credit Facility by 50 basis points. Earlier in the second quarter, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment to the Credit Facility, effective April 12, 2022, as part of the regular, semi-annual redetermination. Prior to the Tenth Amendment, the Ninth Amendment had previously, among other things, increased the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement from $460 million to $525 million. Management believes the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations through the third quarter of 20222023 and execute its long-term development plans. For more details,information on its Credit Facility, see the Credit Facility section within Note 6 to SilverBow's condensed consolidated financial statements for more information on its Credit Facility.statements.

Contractual Commitments and Obligations

    As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $16.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively, in net operating leases liabilities. The increase was primarily due to compression equipment leases and the Company's corporate office lease. ThereOther than as discussed below, there were no other material changes in SilverBow's contractual commitments during the six months ended June 30, 20212022 from amounts referenced under “Contractual Commitments and Obligations” in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsBorrowings under our Credit Facility increased $267.0 million from December 31, 2021 primarily related to our acquisitions during the second quarter of 2022.

    As of June 30, 2021, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 303(a) of Regulation S-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Commodity Risk. Our major market risk exposure is the commodity pricing applicable to our oil and natural gas production. Realized commodity prices received for such production are primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and spot prices applicable to natural gas. This commodity pricing volatility has continued with unpredictable price swings in recent periods.

Our price risk management policy permits the utilization of agreements and financial instruments (such as futures, forward contracts, swaps and options contracts) to mitigate price risk associated with fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices. We do not utilize these agreements and financial instruments for trading and only enter into derivative agreements with banks in our Credit Facility. For additional discussion related to our price risk management policy, refer to Note 8 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.

Customer Credit Risk. We are exposed to the risk of financial non-performance by customers. Our ability to collect on sales to our customers is dependent on the liquidity of our customer base. Continued volatility in both credit and commodity markets may reduce the liquidity of our customer base. To manage customer credit risk, we monitor credit ratings of customers and, when considered necessary, we also obtain letters of credit from certain customers, parent company guarantees, if applicable, and other collateral as considered necessary to reduce risk of loss. Due to availability of other purchasers, we do not believe the loss of any single oil or natural gas customer would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Concentration of Sales Risk. A large portion of our oil and gas sales are made to Kinder Morgan, Inc. and its affiliates and we expect to continue this relationship in the future. We believe that the business risk of this relationship is mitigated by the reputation and nature of their business and the availability of other purchasers.

Interest Rate Risk. At June 30, 2021,2022, we had a combined $398.0$644.0 million drawn under our Credit Facility and our Second Lien, which bear floating rates of interest and therefore are susceptible to interest rate fluctuations. These variable interest rate borrowings are also impacted by changes in short-term interest rates. A hypothetical one percentage point increase in interest rates on our borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility and Second Lien at June 30, 20212022 would increase our annual interest expense by $4.0$6.4 million.
