NOTE 1—Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies


Goodrich Petroleum Corporation (“Goodrich” and, together with its subsidiary, Goodrich Petroleum Company, L.L.C. (the “Subsidiary”), “we,” “our,” the “Company,” or the “Company”“Registrant”) is an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas on properties primarily in (i) Northwest Louisiana and East Texas, which includes the Haynesville Shale Trend, (ii) Southwest Mississippi and Southeast Louisiana, which includes the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale Trend (“TMS”), and (iii) South Texas, which includes the Eagle Ford Shale Trend.


Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q10-Q have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”(“the SEC”) and accordingly, certain information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”) has been condensed or omitted. This information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our annual reportAnnual Report on Form 10-K10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2020. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or for any interim period.

Upon adoptiondemand and price of fresh start accounting,crude oil. Because we predominately produce natural gas and natural gas demand and prices were not impacted by the same market forces as crude oil, we have experienced less of an impact from COVID-19 than many of our assetspeers. However, the scope and liabilities were recorded at their fair values aslength of the Effective Date. As a result, our consolidated statementsCOVID-19 pandemic and the ultimate effect on the price of natural gas and oil cannot be determined, and we could be adversely affected in future periods. Management is actively monitoring the impact on the Company’s results of operations, subsequent to the Effective Date are not comparable to our consolidated statement of operations prior to the Effective Date. Our consolidated financial statementsposition, and related footnotes are presentedliquidity in a format that illustrates the lack of comparability between amounts presented on or after the Effective Datefiscal year 2021 and dates prior. Our financial results for future periods following the application of fresh-start accounting will be different from historical trends and the differences may be material.


All references made to “Successor” or "Successor Company” relate to the Company on and subsequent to the Effective Date. References to the “Successor” in this quarterly report relate to the periods after the Effective Date, which includes the first three quarters of 2017. References to "Predecessor" or “Predecessor Company” in this quarterly report refer to the Company prior to the Effective Date, which includes the first three quarters of 2016.

into 2022.

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and the Subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation.


Certain data in prior periods’ financial statements have been adjusted to conform to the presentation of the current period. We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing.

Use of Estimates— Our management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP.


Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, demand deposit accounts and temporary cash investments with maturities of ninety days or less at the date of purchase.


Restricted Cash—As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $0.6 million in restricted cash held as collateral for the issuance of a letter of credit in connection with a natural gas gathering agreement.

Inventory –Inventory consists of equipment, casing and tubulars that are expected to be used in our capital drilling program. Inventory is carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the lower of cost or market.


Property and Equipment—Under US GAAP, two acceptable methods of accounting for oil and natural gas properties are allowed. These are the Successful Efforts Method and the Full Cost Method. Entities engaged in the production of oil and natural gas have the option of selecting either method for application in the accounting for their properties. The principalprinciple differences between the two methods are in the treatment of exploration costs, the computation of Depreciation, Depletiondepreciation, depletion and Amortizationamortization (“DD&A”) expense and the assessment of impairment of oil and natural gas properties. Upon emergence from bankruptcy, weWe have elected to adopt the Full Cost Method.


Method of accounting. We believe that the true cost of developing a “portfolio” of reserves should reflect both successful and unsuccessful attempts at exploration and development. We believe application of the Full Cost Method better reflects the true economics of exploring for and developing our oil and natural gas reserves.

Under the Full Cost Method, we capitalize all costs associated with acquisitions, exploration, development and estimated abandonment costs.costs into a single full cost pool. We capitalize internal costs that can be directly identified with the acquisition of leasehold, as well as drilling and completion activities, but do not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Unevaluated property costs are excluded from the amortization base until we make a determination as to the existence of proved reserves on the respective property or impairment. We review our unevaluated properties at the end of each quarter to determine whether the costs should be reclassified to proved oil and natural gas properties and thereby subject to DD&A and the full cost ceiling test. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021 and 2020, we transferred $5.8less than $0.1 million from unevaluated properties to proved oil and natural gas properties. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we transferred $0.3 million and $18.6less than $0.1 million, respectively, from unevaluated properties to proved oil and natural gas properties. Our sales of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to net proved oil and natural gas properties with no gain or loss recognized, unless the adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves.


We

Under the Full Cost Method, we amortize our investment in oil and natural gas properties through DD&A expense using the units of production (the “UOP”) method. An amortization rate is calculated based on total proved reserves converted to equivalent thousand cubic feet equivalent of natural gas (“Mcfe”) as the denominator and the net book value of evaluated oil and natural gas asset together with the estimated future development cost of the proved undeveloped reserves as the numerator. The rate calculated per Mcfe is applied against the periods'period's production also converted to Mcfe to arrive at the periods'period's DD&A expense.

Depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment, consisting of office furniture, computer hardware and software and leasehold improvements, is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which vary from three to five years.

Full Cost Ceiling Test—The Full Cost Method requires that at the conclusion of each financial reporting period, the presentpresent value of estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves (adjusted for hedges anddiscounted at 10%, excluding cash flows related to estimated abandonment costs)costs already recorded, net of deferred taxes (the “Ceiling”), be compared to the net capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties, net of related deferred taxes. This comparison is referred to as a "ceiling test".“ceiling test.” If the net capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties net of deferred taxes exceed the estimated discounted future net cash flows from proved reserves,Ceiling, we are required to write-down the value of our oil and natural gas properties to the value of the discounted cash flows.Ceiling. Estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves are calculated based on a 12-monthtrailing 12-month average pricing assumption.

For the Consolidated Balance Sheets to ensure that they were not overstated or carried in excessnine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded 0 impairment and $17.2 million, respectively.

To determine if a field was impaired, we compared the carrying value of the field to the undiscounted future net cash flows by applying management’s estimates of proved reserves, future oil and natural gas prices, future production of oil and natural gas reserves and future operating costs over the economic life of the property. In addition, other factors such as probable and possible reserves were taken into consideration when justified by economic conditions and the availability of capital to develop proved undeveloped reserves. For each property determined to be impaired, we recognized an impairment loss equal to the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of the field.

Fair value was estimated to be the present value of expected future net cash flows. Any impairment charge incurred was recorded in accumulated depletion, depreciation and amortization to reduce the carrying value of the field. Each part of this
calculation was subject to a large degree of judgment, including the determination of the fields’ estimated reserves, future cash
flows and fair value.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




We had no impairment for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Fair Value Measurement—Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, whether in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of non-performance, which includes, among other things, our credit risk.


We use various methods, including the income approach and market approach, to determine the fair values of our financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which depend on a number of factors, including the availability of observable market data over the contractual term of the underlying instrument. For some of our instruments, the fair value is calculated based on directly observable market data or data available for similar instruments in similar markets. For other instruments, the fair value may be calculated based on these inputs as well as other assumptions related to estimates of future settlements of these instruments. We separate our financial instruments into three Levels (Levels levels (levels 1,2 and 3)3) based on our assessment of the availability of observable market data and the significance of non-observable data used to determine the fair value of our instruments. Our assessment of an instrument can change over time based on the maturity or liquidity of the instrument, which could result in a change in the classification of the instruments between Levels.


levels.

Each of these Levelslevels and our corresponding instruments classified by Levellevel are further described below:

Level 1 Inputs— unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. We have no Level 1 instruments;
Level 2 Inputs— quotes that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Included in this Level are our Exit Credit Facility and commodity derivatives whose fair values are based on third-party quotes or available interest rate information and commodity pricing data obtained from third party pricing sources and our creditworthiness or that of our counterparties; and
Level 3 Inputs— unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations, based on our various assumptions and future commodity prices. Included in this Level would be acquisitions and impairments of oil and natural gas properties, if any, and our asset retirement obligations.

Level 1 Inputs— unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. We have no Level 1 instruments;

Level 2 Inputs— quotes that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Included in this level are our senior credit facilities, second lien notes and commodity derivatives whose fair values are based on third-party quotes or available interest rate information and commodity pricing data obtained from third party pricing sources and our creditworthiness or that of our counter-parties; and

Level 3 Inputs— unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations, based on our various assumptions and future commodity prices. Included in this level would be our initial measurement of asset retirement obligations and the equity component determined as a result of fair valuing debt instruments that include a conversion feature.

As of September 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016,2020, the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables represented fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Depreciation and Depletion—Depreciation and depletion of producing oil and natural gas properties is calculated using the units-of-production method. Proved developed reserves are used to compute unit rates for unamortized tangible and intangible development costs, and proved reserves are used for unamortized leasehold costs.

Depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment, consisting of office furniture, computer hardware and software and leasehold improvements, is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which vary from three to five years.

Asset Retirement Obligations—Asset retirement obligations are related to the abandonment and site restoration requirements that result from the exploration and development of our oil and natural gas properties. We record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Accretion expense is included in “Depreciation, depletion and amortization” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 23.


The estimated fair value of the Company’s asset retirement obligations at inception is determined by utilizing the income approach by applying a credit-adjusted risk-free rate, which takes into account the Company’s credit risk, the time value of money, and the current economic state, to the undiscounted expected abandonment cash flows. Given the unobservable nature of the inputs, the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligations was classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.


Revenue Recognition—Oil and natural gas revenues are generally recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, whenupon delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and if collectability of the revenue is probable. Revenues from the production of crudeour produced oil and natural gas properties in which we have an interest with other producers are recognized using the entitlements method.volumes to our customers. We record a liability or an assetrevenue in the month our production is delivered to the purchaser. However, settlement statements and payments for our oil and natural gas balancing whensales may not be received for up to 60 days after the date production is delivered, and as a result, we have sold more or less than our working interest shareare required to estimate the amount of natural gas production respectively.

net liability for natural gas balancing was immaterial. DifferencesDifferences between actual production and net working interest volumes are routinely adjusted.

See Note 2.

Derivative Instruments—We use derivative instruments such as futures, forwards, options,swaps, collars, and swapsoptions for purposes of hedging our exposure to fluctuations in the price of crude oil and natural gas and to hedgehedging our exposure to changing interest rates. Accounting standards related to derivative instruments and hedging activities require that all derivative instruments subject to the requirements of those standards be measured at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet. We offset the fair value of our asset and liability positions with the same counterpartycounter-party for each commodity type. Changes in fair value are required to be recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. All of our realized gain or losses on our derivative contracts are the result of cash settlements. We have not designated any of our derivative contracts as hedges;hedges for accounting purposes; accordingly, changes in fair value are reflected in earnings. See Note 78.

Income Taxes—We account for income taxes during interim periods based on annual projections of our effective tax rate.

We account for income taxes on an annual basis, as required, under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basesbasis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.


We recognize, as required, the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely-than-notlikely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. See Note 67.


Net Income or Net Loss Per Common Share—Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholdersstock for each reporting period by the weighted-average numbershares of common sharesstock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholdersstock for each reporting period by the weighted average numbershares of common sharesstock outstanding during the period, plus the effects of potentially dilutive restricted stock calculated using the treasury stock method and the potential dilutive effect of the conversion or exercise of convertibleother securities, such as warrants and convertible notes, into shares of our common stock. See Note 56.


Commitments and Contingencies—Liabilities for loss contingencies, including environmental remediation costs, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Recoveries from third parties, when probable of realization, are separately recorded and are not offset against the related environmental liability. See Note 89.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On August 28, 2017,

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards UpdateASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU”ASU 2020-04”) 2017-12, Derivatives. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting.

In addition, theand other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this ASU make2020-04 apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by ASU 2020-04 do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain targeted improvements to simplifyoptional expedients for and that are retained through the applicationend of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP based onhedging relationship. Currently, the feedback receivedCompany's only existing contract with potential impact from preparers, auditors, users,reference rate reform is the 2019 Senior Credit Facility, which utilizes LIBOR as a benchmark rate. In October 2020, the Third Amendment of the 2019 Senior Credit Facility included provisions for alternate benchmark rates should LIBOR be discontinued due to reference rate reform. We will continue to evaluate the expected impact these amendments and other stakeholders. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We do not expect this ASU toreference rate reform will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as we currently mark to market all of our derivative positions; however, we are evaluating the impact of this ASU should we choose to utilize hedge accounting in the future.


On May 10, 2017, and various contracts.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation 2020- Stock Compensation (Topic 718)06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Scope of Modification Accounting. This Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU amends2020-06”). The amendments in ASU 2020-06 primarily affect convertible instruments issued with beneficial conversion features or cash conversion features because the scope of modification accounting models for share-based payment arrangements and provides guidance onthose specific features are removed. However, all entities that issue convertible instruments are affected by the types of changesamendments to the terms ordisclosure requirements of ASU 2020-06. For contracts in an entity’s own equity, the contracts primarily affected are freestanding instruments and embedded features that are accounted for as derivatives under the current guidance because of failure to meet the settlement conditions of share-based payment awardsthe derivatives scope exception related to whichcertain requirements of the settlement assessment. Also affected is the assessment of whether an entity would

be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. For public entities,embedded conversion feature in a convertible instrument qualifies for the derivatives scope exception. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU2020-06 affect the diluted EPS calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for annual periodspublic business entities, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We plan to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2018 and believe the provisions of this ASU will be immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.

On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. This ASU is intended to reduce diversity in the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows and requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented.2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For publicall other entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and plan to adopt this standard when required for public companies.
On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in this ASU are intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. For public entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We adopted this standard in 2017 and anticipate no material impact on our consolidated financial statements until the fourth quarter of 2017, when the initial vestings of restricted stock issued under our Management Incentive Plan occur.

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The key difference between the existing standards and ASU 2016-02 is the requirement for lessees to recognize on their balance sheet all lease contracts with lease terms greater than 12 months, including operating leases. Specifically, lessees are required to recognize on the balance sheet at lease commencement, both (i) a right-of-use asset, representing the lessee’s right to use the leased asset over the term of the lease, and (ii) a lease liability, representing the lessee’s contractual obligation to make lease payments over the term of the lease. For lessees, ASU 2016-02 requires classification of leases as either operating or finance leases, which are similar to the current operating and capital lease classifications. However, the distinction between these two classifications under the ASU does not relate to balance sheet treatment, but relates to treatment and recognition in the statements of income and cash flows. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged from current US GAAP. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for public entities. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluatingyears. The FASB specified that an entity should adopt the provisions of this ASU and assessing the impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 will supersede mostguidance as of the existing revenue recognition requirements in US GAAP and will requirebeginning of its annual fiscal year. The FASB has also decided to allow entities to recognize revenue at an amount that reflectsadopt the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goodsguidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or services to a customer. The new standard also requires disclosures that are sufficient to enable users to understand an entity’s nature, amount, timing, and uncertaintyfully retrospective method of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). This update provides clarifications in the assessment of principal versus agent considerations in the new revenue standard. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The update reduces the potential for diversity in practice at initial application of Topic 606 and the cost and complexity of applying Topic 606. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, Revenue Recognition and Derivatives and Hedging: Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting.

NOTE 2—Revenue Recognition

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, revenue is generally recognized upon delivery of our produced oil and natural gas volumes to our customers. Our customer sales contracts include oil and natural gas sales. Under Topic 606, each unit (Mcf or barrel) of commodity product represents a separate performance obligation which is sold at variable prices, determinable on a monthly basis. The pricing provisions of our contracts are primarily tied to a market index with certain adjustments based on factors such as delivery, product quality and prevailing supply and demand conditions in the geographic areas in which we operate. We allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation and recognize revenue upon delivery of the commodity product when the customer obtains control. Control of our produced natural gas volumes passes to our customers at specific metered points indicated in our natural gas contracts. Similarly, control of our produced oil volumes passes to our customers when the oil is measured either by a trucking oil ticket or by a meter when entering an oil pipeline. The Company has no control over the commodities after those points and the measurement at those points dictates the amount on which the customer's payment is based. Our oil and natural gas revenue streams include volumes burdened by royalty and non-operated working interests. Our revenues are recorded and presented on our financial statements net of the royalty and non-operated working interests. Our revenue stream does not include any payments for services or ancillary items other than sale of oil and natural gas.

We record revenue in the month our production is delivered to the purchaser. However, settlement statements and payments for our oil and natural gas sales may not be received for up to 60 days after the date production is delivered, and as a result, we are required to estimate the amount of production delivered to the purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. We record any differences, which historically have not been significant, between the actual amounts ultimately received and the original estimates in the period they become finalized. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, receivables from contracts with customers were $24.6 million and $10.2 million, respectively.

The following table presents our oil and natural gas revenues disaggregated by revenue source and by operated and non-operated properties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

On the Effective Date,

In October 2016, the Company and the Subsidiary, entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with each entity identified as a Shenkman Purchaser on Appendix A to the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Shenkman Purchasers”), CVC Capital Partners (acting through such of its affiliates to managed funds as it deems appropriate), J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (acting through such of its affiliates or managed funds as it deems appropriate), Franklin Advisers, Inc. (as investment manager on behalf of certain funds and accounts), O’Connor Global Multi-Strategy Alpha Master Limited and Nineteen 77 Global Multi-Strategy Alpha (Levered) Master Limited (collectively, and together with each of their successors and assigns, the “Purchasers”), in connection with the issuance ofissued $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 13.50% Convertible Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “Convertible“2019 Second Lien Notes”).

The aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Second Lien Notes is convertible at the option of the Purchasers at any time prior to the scheduled maturity date at $21.33 per share, subject to adjustments. At closing, the Purchasers were issued along with 10-year costless warrants equal to acquire 2.5 million shares of common stock. Holders of the Convertible2019 Second Lien Notes havehad a second priority lien on all assets of the Company, and haveholders of such warrants had a continuing right to appoint two members to our Board of Directors (the “Board”) as long as the Convertiblesuch warrants were outstanding.

The 2019 Second Lien Notes are outstanding.

were scheduled to mature on August 30, 2019 or six months after the maturity of our current revolving credit facility but in no event later than March 30, 2020. The Convertible2019 Second Lien Notes will mature on August 30, 2019, or such later date as set forth in the Convertible Second Lien Notes, but in no event later than March 30, 2020. The Convertible Second Lien Notes bearbore interest at the rate of 13.50% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year. The Company may electalso had the option under certain circumstances to pay all or any portion of interest in-kind on the then outstanding principal amount of the Convertible2019 Second Lien Notes by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Convertible2019 Second Lien Notes or by issuing additional Second Lien Notes (“PIK Interest Notes”). The PIK Interest Notes are not convertible. During such time assecond lien notes.

Upon issuance of the Exit Credit Agreement (but not any refinancing or replacement thereof) was in effect, interest on the Convertible Second Lien Notes had to be paid in-kind. As to the new 2017 Senior Credit Facility, interest on the Convertible Second Lien Notes must be paid in-kind; provided however, that after the quarter ending March 31, 2018, if (i) there is no default, event of default or borrowing base deficiency that has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the ratio of total debt to EBITDAX as defined under the 2017 Senior Credit Facility is less than 1.75 to 1.0 and (iii) the unused borrowing base is at least 25%, then the Company can pay the interest on the Convertible2019 Second Lien Notes in cash, at its election.

The Indenture also contains certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of (i) a Total Proved Asset Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Exit Credit Agreement) not to be less than 1.35 to 1.00 for any test date on or before September 30, 2017 and 1.50 to 1.00 after September 30, 2017, to be determined as of January 1 and July 1 of each year, (ii) limitations on cash general and administrative expenses through 2017 and (iii) minimum liquidity requirements.

Upon issuance of the Convertible Second Lien Notes in October 2016, in accordance with accounting standards related to convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion as well as warrants on the debt instrument, we recorded a debt discount of $11.0 million, thereby reducing the $40.0 million carrying value upon issuance to $29.0 million and recorded an equity component of $11.0 million. The debt discount was amortized using the effective interest rate method based upon an original term through August 30, 2019. The 2019 Second Lien Notes were redeemed in full on May 29, 2019 for $56.7 million, using borrowings under the 2019 Senior Credit Facility. In connection with the redemption of the 2019 Second Lien Notes, we recorded a $1.6 million loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the remaining unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs.

On May 14, 2019, the Company and the Subsidiary entered into a purchase agreement with certain purchasers pursuant to which the Company issued to such purchasers $12.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 13.50% Convertible Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (the “2021/2022 Second Lien Notes”). Proceeds from the sale of the 2021/2022 Second Lien Notes were primarily used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the 2019 Senior Credit Facility. In May 2020, the maturity date of the 2021/2022 Second Lien Notes was extended to May 31, 2022.

Upon issuance of the 2021/2022 Second Lien Notes on May 31, 2019, in accordance with accounting standards related to convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, we recorded a debt discount of $1.4 million, thereby reducing the $12.0 million carrying value upon issuance to $10.6 million and recorded an equity component of $1.4 million. The fair value of the debt instrument without the conversion feature and the resulting equity component was valued using a binomial lattice model. The debt discount was amortized using the effective interest rate method based upon an original term through May 31, 2021. Upon the maturity extension in May 2020, an additional $0.3 million of debt discount was recorded, and the debt discount began to be amortized using the effective interest rate method based upon the maturity date of May 31, 2022. 

On March 9, 2021, the Company and the Subsidiary entered into a note purchase and exchange agreement (“the Note Purchase and Exchange Agreement”) with certain purchasers (each such purchaser, together with its successors and assigns, a “2023 Second Lien Notes Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the 2023 Second Lien Notes Purchasers (A) $15.2 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 13.50% Convertible Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Second Lien Notes”) in exchange for an equal amount of 2021/2022 Second Lien Notes and (B) $15.0 million of the 2023 Second Lien Notes in exchange for cash. Proceeds from the sale of the 2023 Second Lien Notes were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the 2019 Senior Credit Facility. In connection with the Note Purchase and Exchange Agreement, we recorded a $0.9 million loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the remaining unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs from the 2021/2022 Second Lien Notes.

The 2023 Second Lien Notes, as set forth in the indenture governing the 2023 Second Lien Notes (the “2023 Second Lien Notes Indenture”), are scheduled to mature on May 31, 2023. The 2023 Second Lien Notes bear interest at the rate of 13.50% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year. The Company may elect to pay all or any portion of interest in-kind on the then outstanding principal amount of the 2023 Second Lien Notes by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding 2023 Second Lien Notes.

The 2023 Second Lien Notes Indenture contains certain covenants pertaining to us and our Subsidiary, including delivery of financial reports; environmental matters; conduct of business; use of proceeds; operation and maintenance of properties; collateral and guarantee requirements; indebtedness; liens; dividends and distributions; limits on sales of assets and stock; business activities; transactions with affiliates; and changes of control. The 2023 Second Lien Notes Indenture also contains a financial covenant that requires the maintenance of a ratio of Total Proved PV-10 attributable to the Company's and Subsidiary's Proved Reserves (as defined in the 2023 Second Lien Notes Indenture) to Total Secured Debt (net of any Unrestricted Cash not to exceed $10.0 million) not to be less than 1.50 to 1.00.

The 2023 Second Lien Notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock at the conversion rate, which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of 2023 Second Lien Notes to be converted, including any accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the conversion price, which shall initially be $21.33, subject to certain adjustments as described in the 2023 Second Lien Notes Indenture. Upon conversion, the Company must deliver, at its option, either (1) a number of shares of its common stock determined as set forth in the 2023 Second Lien Notes Indenture, (2) cash or (3) a combination of shares of its common stock and cash; however, the Company’s ability to redeem the 2023 Second Lien Notes with cash is subject to the terms of the 2019 Credit Agreement.

Upon issuance of the 2023 Second Lien Notes on March 9,2021, in accordance with accounting standards related to convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, we recorded a debt discount of $1.2 million, thereby reducing the $30.2 million carrying value upon issuance to $29.0 million and recorded an equity component of $1.2 million. The fair value of the debt instrument without the conversion feature and the resulting equity component was valued using a binomial lattice model. The debt discount is amortized using the effective interest rate method based upon an original term through AugustMay 31, 2023. In connection with the extinguishment of the 2021/2022 Second Lien Notes, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.9 million consisting of $0.8 million of remaining unamortized debt discount and $0.1 million of remaining unamortized debt issuance costs on the 2021/2022 Second Lien Notes.

Commodity Derivative Activity

We enter into swap contracts, costless collars or other derivative agreements from time to time to manage commodity price risk for a portion of our production. Our policy is that all derivatives are approved by the Hedging Committee of theour Board, and reviewed periodically by the Board.

Despite the measures taken by us to attempt to control price risk, we remain subject to price fluctuations for natural gas and crude oil sold in the spot market. Prices received for natural gas sold on the spot market are volatile due primarily to seasonality of demand and other factors beyond our control. Decreases in domestic crude oil and natural gas spot prices will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and quantities of reserves recoverable on an economic basis. We routinely exercise our contractual right to net realized gains against realized losses when settling with our financial counterparties.counter-parties.

NOTE 10—Leases

We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We lease our corporate office building in Houston, Texas. We recognize lease expense for this lease on a straight-line basis over the lease term. This operating lease is included in furniture, fixtures and equipment and other capital assets, accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The operating lease asset and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As this lease did not provide an implicit rate, we used a collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date, including lease term, in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease asset includes any lease payments made but excludes annual operating charges. Operating Leaseslease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and reported in general and administrative operating expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We have commitments underalso entered into leases for other equipment which are immaterial to our financial statements and/or have lease terms less than 12 months and have therefore not been recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2020.


Goodrich Petroleum Corporation (“Goodrich” and, together with its subsidiary, Goodrich Petroleum Company, L.L.C. (the "Subsidiary”“Subsidiary”), “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) is an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas on properties primarily in (i) Northwest Louisiana and East Texas, which includes the Haynesville Shale Trend, (ii) Southwest Mississippi and Southeast Louisiana, which includes the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale Trend (“TMS”), and (iii) South Texas, which includes the Eagle Ford Shale Trend.


We seek to increase shareholder value by growing our oil and natural gas reserves, production, revenues and cash flow from operating activities (“operating cash flow”). In our opinion, on a long term basis, growth in oil and natural gas reserves, cash flow and production on a cost-effective basis are the most important indicators of performance success for an independent oil and natural gas company.


We strive

Management strives to increase our oil and natural gas reserves, production and cash flow through exploration and development activities. We develop an annual capital expenditure budget, which is reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) on a quarterly basis and revised throughout the year as circumstances warrant. WeWhen establishing our capital expenditure budget, we take into consideration our projected operating cash flow, commodity prices for oil and natural gas and externally available sources of financing, such as bank debt, asset divestitures, issuance of debt and equity securities and strategic joint ventures, when establishing our capital expenditure budget.


We place primary emphasis on our operating cash flow in managing our business. Management considers operating cash flow a more important indicator of our financial success than other traditional performance measures such as net income because operating cash flow considers only the cash expenses incurred during the period and excludes the non-cash impact of unrealized hedging gains (losses), non-cash general and administrative expenses and impairments.

joint-ventures.

Our revenues and operating cash flow depend on the successful development of our inventory of capital projects with available capital, the volume and timing of our production, as well as commodity prices for oil and natural gas. Such pricing factorsThe prices we receive for our production are largely beyond our control; however, wecontrol. We have historically employed commodity hedging techniquesbeen able to hedge our natural gas production at prices that are higher than current strip prices in an attempt to minimize the volatility of short term commodity price fluctuations on our earnings and operating cash flow.


Emergence from Bankruptcy

    On April 15, 2016 (the “Petition Date”), we filed voluntary bankruptcy petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 However, depending on volatility in the commodity price environment, our ability to enter into comparable derivative arrangements may be more limited.

The COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions have created significant volatility, uncertainty and turmoil in the oil and gas industry. Throughout 2020, the effect of Title 11COVID-19 significantly lowered the demand for and prices of crude oil which resulted in an oversupply of crude oil with significant downward pressure on commodity prices for much of the United States Bankruptcy Codeyear. During the first half of 2021, the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines progressed and many government-imposed restrictions were relaxed or rescinded. However, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic, business and market disruptions remain uncertain. The most direct and immediate impact that the Company experienced from the COVID-19 pandemic was decreased demand for and prices of crude oil. While the prices of and demand for crude oil have recovered from the lows seen in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”), to pursue a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). We filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking joint administrationinitial stages of the Chapter 11 Cases underpandemic, further outbreaks or the caption In re Goodrich Petroleum Corporation, et al. (Case No. 16-31975). Our joint planemergence of reorganization (the “Plannew strains of Reorganization”) was confirmedthe virus could result in the reimposition of federal, state and local regulations directing individuals to stay at home, limiting travel, requiring facility closures and imposing similar measures. Widespread reimposition of these or similar restrictions could result in reductions in the prices of and demand for crude oil, as well as logistic constraints, increases in our costs, workforce shortages and unavailability of raw materials. Because we predominately produce natural gas, and natural gas has not been impacted by the Bankruptcy Courtsame market forces as crude oil, we have experienced less of an impact from COVID-19 than many of our peers. However, the scope and length of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ultimate effect on September 28, 2016,the price of natural gas cannot be determined, and we emerged from bankruptcy on October 12, 2016 (the “Effective Date”).


Upon our emergence from bankruptcy, we adopted Fresh Start Accountingcould be adversely affected in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 852, “Reorganizations”. This resulted in our becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. At that time, our assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair values as of the Effective Date. The effects of the Plan of Reorganization and our application of fresh start accounting are reflected in our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016. The related adjustments were recorded in our consolidated statement of operations as reorganization items for the year to date period ending on the Effective Date.

The application of fresh start accounting andfuture periods.

To mitigate the effects of the implementationdownturn in commodity prices due to the effects of COVID-19, we initiated a company-wide cost reduction program eliminating outside services that are not core to our business, on which we continue to focus, as well as a reduction in headcount year over year. Additionally, we have substantial volumes of our Planproduction hedged through the first quarter of Reorganization resulted in2022, and to a lesser extent, volumes hedged from April 2022 to March 2023.

As a result of the steps we have taken to enhance our Consolidated Financial Statementsliquidity, we anticipate our cash on or after the Effective Date not being comparable with the Consolidated Financial Statements prior to that date. Our financial results for periods followinghand, cash from operations and our application of fresh start accountingavailable borrowing capacity under our 2019 Senior Credit Facility will be different from historical trends,sufficient to meet our investing, financing, and the differences may be material.



All references made to “Successor” or “Successor Company” relateworking capital requirements into 2022.

We remain committed to the Companyfollowing priorities while navigating through the COVID-19 pandemic:

Ensuring the health and safety of our employees and the contractors that provide services to us;

Continuing to monitor the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has on demand for our products in addition to related commodity price impacts in order to adjust our business accordingly; and

Ensuring we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic in as strong of a position as possible as we continue to move forward with our long-term strategies.

While the COVID-19 pandemic may potentially adversely affect our operations or employees’ health in the future, as of the date of this filing, we have not experienced a significant disruption to our operations and subsequent to the Effective Date. References to the “Successor”we have implemented a contingency plan, with employees working remotely where possible and in this quarterly report relate to the periods after the Effective Date, which includes the first three quarters of 2017. References to “Predecessor” or “Predecessor Company” in this quarterly report refer to the Company prior to the Effective Date, which includes the first three quarters of 2016.


On the Effective Date, to better reflect the true economics of our explorationcompliance with governmental orders and development of oilCenters for Disease Control and natural gas reserves, we transitioned from the Successful Efforts Method of Accounting for oil and gas activities to the Full Cost Method of Accounting.

Results of Operations


In addition to adopting Fresh Start Accounting, the Successor also adopted the Full Cost Method of Accounting as of the Effective Date. Prior to the Effective Date, the Predecessor used the Successful Efforts Method of Accounting. The results of operations of the Successor and the Predecessor are not generally comparable nor are they individually comparable with prior periods. We believe however, that production volumes, oil and natural gas revenues, lease operating expenses and production and other taxes are generally comparable and consequently, unless otherwise indicated, the tables and discussions below include such comparisons between the Predecessor and the Successor for these operational items. We believe this presentation gives the reader a better understanding of our operational results in 2017.

As described below, total operating expenses decreased $0.8increased $2.1 million and increased $1.9 million infor the three months ended September 30, 2021 and decreased $18.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively,2021, compared to the same periods in 2016.2020. The decreaseincrease in total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 20172021 was primarily due to the decrease inexpenses associated with higher production volumes, including lease operating expenses, production and other taxes, discussed further below.transportation and processing and depletion and amortization expense, partially offset by no impairment expense in 2021. The increasedecrease in total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 was primarily the result of $3.1 million of workover costs includeddue to no impairment expense in 2021 and lower transportation and processing and general and administrative expense, partially offset by higher lease operating expenses due to increased production volumes. On a per unit basis, excluding the impact of impairment expense in 20172020, operating costs decreased $0.15 and recognition of additional transportation expense in 2017 by virtue of taking our production in-kind in the Haynesville Shale Trend and paying related transportation costs$0.23 per Mcfe for that production, offset by a $1.3 million decrease in production and other taxes as discussed further below.

Lease Operating Expense

Lease operating expense (“LOE”) increased $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same periods in 2020. The increase in LOE is substantiallyprimarily attributed to an increase in production volumes and the number of producing wells in 2021 versus 2020 as well as additional workover expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, in addition to increased costs due to increased production2021. Per unit LOE was $0.21 per Mcfe and $0.26 per Mcfe for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. We incurred $3.12021, respectively, of which $0.02 per Mcfe was attributed to the $0.3 million in workover cost forexpense incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2021, and $0.04 per Mcfe was attributed to the $1.8 million in workover expense incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and only $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as we curtailed such expenditures while in bankruptcy.

Production and Other Taxes

Production and other taxes includes severance and ad valorem taxes. Severance taxes were $1.0 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172021, respectively, and ad valorem taxes were $0.1$0.2 million and $0.9$0.7 million respectively. Ad valorem taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was a credit of $0.1 million as a result of the receipt of refunds. Ad valorem taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $0.2 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, production and other2021, respectively.

Severance taxes included severance tax of $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively and ad valorem tax ofincreased $0.7 million and $1.6$0.6 million respectively.


Severance taxes remained relatively flat for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, reflecting decreased oil2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. The increase is primarily due to higher production volumes directlyupon which the volumetric tax is based as wells have begun to incur severance tax in Louisiana after the exemption ended, partially offset by a lower severance tax increases due to the expiration of the exemption on certain wellsrate in Mississippi and Louisiana. The State of Mississippi has enacted an exemption from the existing 6.0% severance tax for horizontal wells drilled after July 1, 2013 with production commencing before July 1, 2018, which is partially offset by a 1.3% local severance tax on such wells. The exemption is applicable until the earlier of (i) 30 months from the date of first sale of production or (ii) payout of the well. The State of Louisiana has also enacted an exemption from the existing 12.5% severance tax on oil and from the $0.098 per Mcf (through June 30, 2017) and $0.11$0.125 per Mcf (from July 1, 20172019 through June 30, 2018)2020), $0.0934 per Mcf (from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021) and $0.091 per Mcf (from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022) severance tax on natural gas for horizontal wells with production commencing after July 31, 1994. The exemption is applicable until the earlier of (i) 24 months from the date of first sale of production or (ii) payout of the well. The net revenuesAll of our recently drilled, operated Haynesville Shale Trend wells in Northwest Louisiana are benefiting from our wells drilled in our TMS acreage in Southwestern Mississippi and Southeast Louisiana have been favorably impacted by these exemptions.

The decrease in adthis exemption upon initial production. 

Ad valorem tax between periods reflects refunds or tax credits received ofremained flat and decreased $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, respectively, as well ascompared to the reductionsame periods in the assessed values2020, due to more favorable tax calculation methodologies on certain of our properties. We also received severance tax refunds recorded in the third quarterproperties with respective taxing agencies.

Transportation and Processing


Our natural gas production incurs substantially all of our transportation and processing expense. Transportation and processing expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 includes $1.02021 increased $0.5 million and $3.0decreased $1.1 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. The increase in transportation and processing expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to increased production from our Haynesville Shale Trend wells, partially offset by more favorable rates contracted with third parties. The decrease in transportation and processing expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to the more favorable rates contracted with third parties despite an increase in production volumes. Additionally, the mix of operated versus non-operated volumes impacts our transportation fees incurred onand processing expense as our operated natural gas volumes, thatparticularly from our recent operated wells brought online, generally carry less transportation cost than those from wells we take in-kinddo not operate.

Gain (Loss) on Commodity Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges


Gain (loss)

We produce and sell oil and natural gas into a market where prices are historically volatile. We enter into swap contracts, collars or other derivative agreements from time to time to manage our exposure to commodity price risk for a portion of our production. We do not designate our derivative contracts as hedges for accounting purposes. Consequently, the changes in our mark-to-market valuations are recorded directly to income or loss on our financial statements.

The loss on commodity derivatives not designated as hedges of $77.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 is2021 was comprised of an unrealizeda mark-to-market loss of $0.5$64.9 million, representing the change of fair value on our open natural gas derivative contracts, and a $12.5 million loss on net cash settlements of natural gas derivative contracts. The loss on commodity derivatives not designated as hedges of $103.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was comprised of a mark-to-market loss of $88.6 million, representing the change of fair value on our open natural gas derivative contracts, and a $14.5 million loss on net cash settlements of natural gas and oil derivative contracts. Volatility in the commodity futures market is quite high and since we do not apply hedge accounting on our derivative contracts there can be large swings in our reported gain or losses between periods. These commodity derivative losses were recorded as a result of the significant increase in natural gas strip prices as of September 30, 2021 compared to our hedged prices.

The loss on commodity derivatives not designated as hedges of $11.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was comprised of a $12.7 million mark-to-market loss, representing the change in fair value of our open natural gas and oil derivative contracts, offset by a $1.6 million net gain on cash settlement of natural gas and oil derivative contracts. The loss on commodity derivatives not designated as hedges of $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was comprised of a $18.5 million mark-to-market loss, representing the change of the fair value of our open natural gas and oil derivative contracts, offset by a $0.2$14.9 million net gain on cash settlement. Gain (loss) on commodity derivatives not designated as hedges for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is comprisedsettlement of an unrealized loss of $0.1 million, representing the change of the fair value of our natural gas and oil derivative contracts, offset by as a $0.3 million gain on cash settlement.


Restructuring
As a result of our efforts to restructure the Company outside of bankruptcy and the preliminary preparation involved in filing the Chapter 11 Cases during the first three quarters of 2016, we incurred significant professional fees and other costs. Restructuring costs incurred during the three and nine months ending September 30, 2016 totaled zero and $5.1 million, respectively. No restructuring costs have been incurred during 2017.

Reorganization gain (loss), net
We anticipate that we will continue to incur professional fees and costs until the bankruptcy case is final. We continue to work on settling bankruptcy claims. We believe that the estimated liability we have established for these costs is sufficient to cover such cost.

Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAX


EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAXEBITDA is a supplemental non-United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (“US GAAP”) financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Predecessor definedCompany defines Adjusted EBITDAXEBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income and similar tax, DD&A, exploration expense, share basedshare-based compensation expense and impairment of oil and natural gas properties. The Successor calculates Adjusted EBITDA in the same way, but EBITDA reflects the absence of exploration expense in the Full Cost Method of Accounting used by the Successor.properties (if any). In calculating Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAX,EBITDA, mark-to-market gains/losses on commodity derivatives not designated as hedges and net cash received or paid in settlement of derivative instruments are also excluded. Other excluded items include adjustments resulting from the accounting for operating leases under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842 in accordance with our 2019 Senior Credit Facility, interest income gain on sale of assets, restructuring, reorganization and other expense.any extraordinary non-cash gains or losses. Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAXEBITDA is not a measure of net income (loss) as determined by US GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAXEBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), as defined by US GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Overview


Our primary sources of cash during the first nine months of 20172021 were cash from operating activities, cash on hand and cash from operating activities.borrowings under our 2019 Senior Credit Facility (as defined below). We used cash primarily to fund capital expenditures. We currently plan to fund our operations and capital expenditures for the remainder of 20172021 through a combination of cash on hand, cash from operating activities and borrowing under our 2017 Senior Credit Facility (as defined below),revolving credit facility, although we may from time to time consider the funding alternatives described below.


On October 17, 2017, weMay 14, 2019, the Company entered into thea Second Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“Agreement (the “2019 Credit Agreement”) withamong the Company, the Subsidiary, as borrower JPMorgan Chase(in such capacity, the “Borrower”), Truist Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and certain lenders that are party thereto, which provides for revolving loans of up to the borrowing base then in effect (the “2017“2019 Senior Credit Facility”). Total lender commitments under the 2017 Senior Credit Facility are $250 million.

The 20172019 Senior Credit Facility matures on a) October 17, 2021the earlier of (a) May 14, 2024 or b)(b) December 2, 2022, if the Convertible2023 Second Lien Notes (as defined below) have not been voluntarily redeemed, repurchased, refinanced or otherwise retired by December 2, 2022, which is the date that is 180 days prior to the May 31, 2023 “Maturity Date” of the 2023 Second Lien Notes. The 2019 Senior Credit Facility provides for a maximum credit amount of $500 million subject to a borrowing base limitation, which was $120.0 million as of September 30, 2021 and was increased to $150.0 million during the Fall 2021 borrowing base redetermination. The borrowing base is redetermined in March and September of each calendar year, and is subject to additional adjustments from time to time, including, without limitation, for asset sales, elimination or reduction of hedge positions and incurrence of other debt. Additionally, each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may request one unscheduled redetermination of the borrowing base between scheduled redeterminations. The amount of the borrowing base is determined by the lenders in their sole discretion and consistent with their oil and gas lending criteria at the time of the relevant redetermination. Under the Fifth Amendment to 2019 September 30, 2019. RevolvingCredit Agreement entered into on November 5, 2021, the Company is permitted to make restricted payments under the 2019 Credit Agreement so long as (i) no borrowing base deficiency, default or event of default exists or would result therefrom, (ii) after giving pro forma effect to such restricted payment, availability is no less than 20% of the aggregate amount of the available commitments under the 2019 Credit Agreement and (iii) after giving pro forma effect to such restricted payment, the ratio of net funded debt of the Company to EBITDAX shall not be greater than 1.50 to 1.00. The Fifth Amendment to 2019 Credit Agreement also permits the Company to make redemptions of the Second Lien Debt (as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement) and payments of interest on the 2023 Second Lien Notes so long as each such redemption and interest payment would be permitted as a restricted payment. The Borrower may also request the issuance of letters of credit under the 2019 Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount up to $10 million, which reduce the amount of available borrowings under the 2017borrowing base in the amount of such issued and outstanding letters of credit.

On March 9, 2021, the Company and the Subsidiary entered into a purchase and exchange agreement with certain purchasers (each such purchaser, together with its successors and assigns, a “2023 Second Lien Notes Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the 2023 Second Lien Notes Purchasers (A) $15.2 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Second Lien Notes in exchange for an equal amount of 2021/2022 Second Lien Notes and (B) $15.0 million of the 2023 Second Lien Notes in exchange for cash. Proceeds from the sale of the 2023 Second Lien Notes were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the 2019 Senior Credit FacilityFacility. In connection with the purchase and exchange agreement, we recorded a $0.9 million loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the remaining unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs from the 2021/2022 Second Lien Notes.

The 2023 Second Lien Notes, as set forth in the indenture governing the 2023 Second Lien Notes (the “2023 Second Lien Notes Indenture”), are limitedscheduled to mature on May 31, 2023. The 2023 Second Lien Notes bear interest at the rate of 13.50% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year. The Company may elect to pay all or any portion of interest in-kind on the then outstanding principal amount of the 2023 Second Lien Notes by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding 2023 Second Lien Notes.

The 2023 Second Lien Notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock at the conversion rate, which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of 2023 Second Lien Notes to be converted, including any accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the conversion price, which shall initially be $21.33, subject to periodic redeterminations,certain adjustments as described in the 2023 Second Lien Notes Indenture. Upon conversion, the Company must deliver, at its option, either (1) a number of shares of its common stock determined as set forth in the borrowing base. The initial borrowing base2023 Second Lien Notes Indenture, (2) cash or (3) a combination of shares of its common stock and cash; however, the Company’s ability to redeem the 2023 Second Lien Notes with cash is $40 million. Pursuantsubject to the terms of the 2017 Senior2019 Credit Facility, borrowing base redeterminations will be on a semi-annual basis on or about March 1st and September 1st of each calendar year, commencing on or about March 1, 2018. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is the lead lender and administrative agent under the Senior Credit Facility.


Agreement.

We exited the third quarter of 20172021 with $5.5 million cash of $31.7 million, which includes $0.6on hand and $90.4 million of restricted cash heldoutstanding borrowings with $29.6 million of availability under the 2019 Senior Credit Facility borrowing base of $120.0 million in effect as collateral for the issuance of a letter of credit in connection with a natural gas gathering agreement. As of September 30, 2017, we had outstanding borrowings under the Exit Credit Facility of $16.7 million. The outstanding Exit Credit Facility amount was paid off upon entering into the 2017 Senior Credit Facility on October 17, 2017 with a $16.7 million balance due under the 2017 Senior Credit Facility.


Our total capital expenditure budget for 2017 is expected to range between $40 million to $50 million. 2021.

Outlook

We plan to focus all of our 2017capital on drilling effortsand development of our Haynesville Shale Trend natural gas properties in North Louisiana, and we currently contemplate drilling and developing 22 gross (10.4 net) wells utilizing improved completion techniques during 2021.

We believe the results of the capital investments we made in prior years and the nine months of 2021 will generate additional cash flows and additional value that will allow us to continue our capital development in the Haynesville Shale Trend.future and raise capital as needed.

27

We continuously monitor our leverage position and coordinate our capital program with our expected cash flows and repayment of our projected debt. We will continue to evaluate funding alternatives as needed.


Alternatives available to us include:

sale of non-core assets;
joint venture partnerships

availability under the 2019 Senior Credit Facility;

issuance of debt securities;

joint ventures in our TMS, Eagle Ford Shale Trend, and/or core Haynesville Shale Trend acreage; and
issuance of debt or equity securities.

We have supported our TMS and/or Haynesville Shale Trend acreage;
sale of non-core assets; and
issuance of equity securities if favorable conditions exist.

In addition, to support future cash flows withand protect against a sharp drop in commodity prices, we enter into strategic derivative contracts that covered approximately 47% of our natural gas sales volumes for the first nine months of 2017. We had no oil derivative contracts for the first nine months of 2017. For additional information on our derivative instruments see positions as reflected in Note 7—8—“Commodity Derivative Activities” and Note 11—“Subsequent Events” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


We have had an on-going company-wide cost reduction program eliminating outside services that are not core to our business, which we continue to focus on, as well as a reduction in headcount year over year. As a result of the steps we have taken to enhance our liquidity in addition to the current natural gas pricing environment, we anticipate our cash on hand, cash from operations and our available borrowing capacity under our 2019 Senior Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our investing, financing, and working capital requirements over the next year.

Operating activities: Production from our wells, the price of oil and natural gas and operating costs represent the main drivers behind our cash flow from operations for both the three and nine months months ended September 30, 2017.2021 and 2020. Changes in working capital and net cash settlements related to our derivative contracts also impact cash flows. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 20172021 was $0.3$29.9 million including operating cash flows before negative working capital changes of $8.3$32.3 million andincluding net cash payments of $12.5 million in settlement of derivative contracts. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 was $15.8$66.6 million including operating cash flows before negative working capital changes of $13.6 million.


$75.4 million including net cash payments of $14.5 million in settlement of derivative contracts. The changes in cash provided by operating activities compared to prior year was primarily attributable to changes in oil and natural gas revenues driven by increased realized prices and increased production, offset by the use of cash based on timing of working capital expenditures.

Investing activities: We recorded capital expenditures of approximately $5.4 million and $25.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities, which represents our cash expended for capital projects, was approximately $3.7$25.0 million and $21.2$71.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The difference2021, respectively. We recorded $27.9 million in capital expenditures and net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was attributed to $3.3 million accrued at September 30, 2017, $1.0 million of utilized inventory, $0.5 million proceeds received from the sale of assets, and the utilization of $0.4 million of cash advanced in 2016, offset by the $0.6 million accrued at December 31, 2016 and paid in 2017. The full year 2017 capital expenditures include $2.3 million of capitalized internal costs directly related to our acquisition of leasehold, drilling and completion activities. Capital expenditures during the three months ended September 30, 2017 were substantially all spent2021. The difference in capital expenditures and cash expended on drillingcapital projects for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily attributed to a net capital accrual increase of $2.3 million and completions costs, whilecapitalization of $0.4 million of asset retirement and non-cash internal costs. We recorded $77.0 million in capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The difference in capital expenditures and cash expended on capital projects for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were comprised2021 was attributed to a net capital accrual increase of $25.6$4.6 million associated with drilling and, completions costsutilization of $0.6 million in cash calls and $0.2the capitalization of $0.7 million for miscellaneous expenditures.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements for any purpose.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe that certain accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2020 includes a discussion of our critical accounting policies, and there have been no material changes to such policies during the threenine months ended September 30, 2017.2021.


Item 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our primary market risks

As a smaller reporting company, we are attributablenot required to fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. These fluctuations can affect revenues and cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities. Our risk-management policies provide for the useinformation required by this Item 3.

30


For information regarding our accounting policies and additional information related to our derivative and financial instruments, see Note 1—“Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies”, Note 3—“Debt”and Note 7—“Commodity Derivative Activities” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Commodity Price Risk

Our most significant market risk relates to fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices. Management expects the prices of these commodities to remain volatile and unpredictable. As these prices decline or rise significantly, revenues and cash flow will also decline or rise significantly. In addition, a non-cash write-down of our oil and natural gas properties may be required if future commodity prices experience a sustained and significant decline. We entered into natural gas derivative instruments during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 in order to reduce the price risk associated with production in 2017 of approximately 18,000 MMBtu per day. We did not enter into derivatives instruments for trading purposes. Utilizing actual derivative contractual volumes, a hypothetical increase of 10% in the underlying commodity prices would have increased the derivative liability position by $0.4 million as of September 30, 2017. Likewise, a hypothetical decrease of 10% in the underlying commodity prices would have increased the fair market value of derivatives by $0.4 million to a net derivative asset position as of September 30, 2017. Furthermore, a gain or loss would have been substantially offset by an increase or decrease, respectively, in the actual sales value of production covered by the derivative instruments.

Adoption of Comprehensive Financial Reform

The adoption of comprehensive financial reform legislation by the United States Congress could have an adverse effect on our ability to use derivative instruments to reduce the effect of commodity price, interest rate and other risks associated with our business. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

Item 4—Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the

In accordance with Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarizedRules 13a-15 and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission and that any material information relating to us is recorded, processed, summarized and reported to our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.


As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act,15d-15, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rulesRules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2021. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the endinformation required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the period covered by this report. OurSEC. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer based upon their evaluation as of September 30, 2017, the end of the period covered in this report, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

effective as of September 30, 2021.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1—Legal Proceedings

A discussion of ourany current legal proceedings is set forth in Part I, Item 1 under Note 1—“Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 89—“Commitments and Contingencies” to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item II under “—Emergence from Bankruptcy” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

As of September 30, 2017,2021, we did not have any material outstanding and pending litigation.


Item 1A—Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2020, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.


Potential future legislation or the imposition of new or increased taxes or fees may generally affect the taxation of natural gas and oil exploration and development companies and may adversely affect our operations on cash flows.

In past years, federal legislation has been proposed that would, if enacted into law, make significant changes to tax laws, including to certain key U.S. federal income tax provisions currently available to natural gas and oil exploration and development companies. For example, President Biden has set forth several tax proposals that would, if enacted into law, make significant changes to U.S. tax laws. Such proposals include, but are not limited to, (i) an increase in the U.S. income tax rate applicable to corporations and (ii) the elimination of tax subsidies for fossil fuels. Congress could consider some or all of these proposals in connection with tax reform to be undertaken by the Biden administration. It is unclear whether these or similar changes will be enacted and, if enacted, how soon any such changes could take effect. The passage of any legislation as a result of these proposals and other similar changes in U.S. federal income tax laws or the imposition of new or increased taxes on natural gas and oil extraction could adversely affect our operations and cash flows.

Item 2—Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we issued to certain holders of unsecured claim warrants approximately 780,000 and 790,000 shares of our common stock, respectively, upon exercise of such warrants. In issuing these shares, we relied on an exemption from the registration requirements provided by Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.
