Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Organization and Nature of Operations

Denbury Resources Inc. (“Denbury”Denbury,” “Company” or the “Company”“Successor”), a Delaware corporation, is an independent oil and natural gas company with operations focused in two key operating areas: the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions.  Our goal is to increase the value of our properties through a combination of exploitation, drilling and proven engineering extraction practices, with the most significant emphasis relating to CO2 enhanced oil recovery operations.

As further described in Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Codebelow, Denbury Inc. became the successor reporting company of Denbury Resources Inc. (the “Predecessor”) upon the Predecessor’s emergence from bankruptcy on September 18, 2020. References to “Successor” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company subsequent to September 18, 2020, and references to “Predecessor” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company prior to, and including, September 18, 2020. On September 18, 2020, Denbury filed the Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect a change of the Company’s corporate name from Denbury Resources Inc. to Denbury Inc., and on September 21, 2020, the Successor’s new common stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol DEN.

Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code

On July 28, 2020, Denbury Resources Inc. and its subsidiaries entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) with lenders holding 100% of the revolving loans under our pre-petition revolving bank credit facility and debtholders holding approximately 67.1% of our senior secured second lien notes and approximately 73.1% of our convertible senior notes, which contemplated a restructuring of the Company pursuant to a prepackaged joint plan of reorganization (the “Plan”). On July 30, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), Denbury Resources Inc. and its subsidiaries filed petitions for reorganization in a “prepackaged” voluntary bankruptcy (the “Chapter 11 Restructuring”) under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) under the caption “In re Denbury Resources Inc., et al., Case No. 20-33801”. On September 2, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Plan and approving the Disclosure Statement, and on September 18, 2020 (the “Emergence Date”), the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms and the Company emerged from Chapter 11. On the Emergence Date and pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Confirmation Order, all outstanding obligations under the senior secured second lien notes, convertible senior notes, and senior subordinated notes were fully extinguished, relieving approximately $2.1 billion of debt by issuing equity and/or warrants in the Successor to the former holders of that debt, and the Company:

Adopted an amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws which reserved for issuance 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Denbury (the “New Common Stock”) and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share;
Cancelled all outstanding senior secured second lien notes, convertible senior notes, and senior subordinated notes issued by the Predecessor and related registration rights. In accordance with the Plan, claims against and interests in the Predecessor were treated as follows:

Holders of secured pipeline lease claims received payment in full in cash, the collateral securing such pipeline lease claim, reinstatement, or such other treatment rendering such pipeline lease claim unimpaired (see Note 6, Long-Term DebtPipeline Financing Transactions, for discussion of subsequent pipeline transactions);
Holders of senior secured second lien notes claims received their pro rata share of 47,499,999 shares representing 95% of the New Common Stock issued on the Emergence Date, subject to dilution on account of warrants and a to-be-adopted management incentive plan;
Holders of convertible senior notes claims received their pro rata share of (a) 2,500,000 shares representing 5% of the New Common Stock issued on the Emergence Date, subject to dilution on account of warrants and a to-be-adopted management incentive plan and (b) 100% of the series A warrants (see below), reflecting up to a maximum of 5% ownership stake in the reorganized company’s equity interests;
Holders of subordinated notes claims received their pro rata share of 54.55% of the series B warrants (see below), reflecting up to a maximum of 3% of the reorganized company’s equity interests after giving effect to the exercise of the series A warrants;

Table of Contents
Denbury Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Holders of general unsecured claims received payment in full in cash, reimbursement, or such other treatment rendering such general unsecured claim unimpaired; and
Holder of existing equity interests received their pro rata share of 45.45% of the series B warrants (see below), reflecting up to a maximum of 2.5% of the reorganized company’s equity interests after giving effect to the exercise of the series A warrants.
Issued 2,631,579 series A warrants at an initial exercise price of $32.59 per share to former holders of the Predecessor’s convertible senior notes and 2,894,740 series B warrants at an initial exercise price of $35.41 per share to former holders of the Predecessor’s senior subordinated notes and Predecessor’s equity interests;
Entered into a new senior secured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks (the “Successor Bank Credit Agreement”) with total aggregate commitments of $575 million;
Appointed a new board of directors (the “Board”) consisting of four new independent members: Anthony Abate, Caroline Angoorly, Brett Wiggs and James N. “Jim” Chapman, and three continuing members: Dr. Kevin O. Meyers (Chairman of the Board), Lynn A. Peterson and Chris Kendall, Denbury’s President and Chief Executive Officer; and
Adopted a framework for a management incentive plan which will reserve primarily for employees and directors a pool of shares of New Common Stock representing up to 10% of the New Common Stock, determined on a fully diluted and fully distributed basis, with initial awards from within this pool to be issued within 60 days of emergence.

During the Predecessor period, the Company applied Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification (“FASC”) Topic 852, Reorganizations, in preparing the consolidated financial statements. FASC Topic 852 requires the financial statements, for periods subsequent to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Restructuring, to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain charges incurred during 2020 related to the Chapter 11 Restructuring, including the write-off of unamortized long-term debt fees and discounts associated with debt classified as liabilities subject to compromise, and professional fees incurred directly as a result of the Chapter 11 Restructuring are recorded as “Reorganization items, net” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the Predecessor period. FASC Topic 852 requires certain additional reporting for financial statements prepared between the bankruptcy filing date and the date of emergence from bankruptcy, including:

Reclassification of pre-petition liabilities that are unsecured, under-secured or where it cannot be determined that the liabilities are fully secured, to a separate line item in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet titled “Liabilities subject to compromise”; and
Segregation of Reorganization items, net as a separate line in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the Chapter 11 Restructuring, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern was contingent upon the Company’s ability to successfully implement a prepackaged joint plan of reorganization, among other factors. As a result of the effectiveness and implementation of the restructuring, there is no longer substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Denbury Resources Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with ourthe Predecessor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”).  Unless indicated otherwise or the context requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company” or “Denbury,” refer to Denbury Resources Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end, and the results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.  In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 (Successor) and December 31, 2019 (Predecessor); our consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, our consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and our consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended Juneperiods September 19, 2020 through September 30, 2020 and 2019.(Successor), for the period July 1, 2020

Upon the adoption of fresh start accounting, the Company’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair values as of the fresh start reporting date (see Note 2, Fresh Start Accounting). As a result of the adoption of fresh start accounting, certain values and operational results of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to September 18, 2020 are not comparable to those in its condensed consolidated financial statements prior to, and including September 18, 2020, and as such, “black-line” financial statements are presented to distinguish between the Predecessor and Successor companies.

Risks and Uncertainties

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 pandemic a national emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a rapid and precipitous drop in the worldwideoil demand, for oil, which worsened an already deteriorated oil market that resulted fromfollowed the early-March 2020 failure by the group of oil producing nations known as OPEC+ to reach an agreement over proposed oil production cuts, which caused oil prices to reach historic low levels during April 2020.cuts. Although OPEC+ subsequently reached an agreementagreed to curtailreduced levels of production whichoutput, concerns about the ability of OPEC+ to maintain compliance with their reduced production targets and uncertainty about the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting economic consequences has allowedresulted in abnormally high worldwide inventories of produced oil. While oil prices to recover intohave improved from the low $40s per barrel in Julypoints experienced during the second quarter of 2020, the concerns and uncertainties around the balance of supply and demand for oil prices are expected to continue to remain at lower levels as a result of these events and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Our operational and financial performance has been negatively impacted by actions taken to contain the impact of COVID-19, driving down domestic and global oil demand, and also affecting oil futures prices.for some time. Because the realized oil prices we have received since early March 2020 have been significantly reduced, our operating cash flow and liquidity have been adversely affected.

In response to the low oil price environment and during this period of uncertainty, in the first six months of 2020 we have implemented the following operational and financial measures:

Reduced budgeted 2020 capital spending by $80 million, or 44%, to approximately $95 million to $105 million;
Deferred the Cedar Creek Anticline CO2 tertiary flood development project beyond 2020;
Implemented cost reduction measures including shutting down compressors or delaying well repairs and workovers that are uneconomic and reducing our workforce to better align with current and projected near-term needs;
Restructured approximately 50% of our three-way collars covering 14,500 barrels per day (“Bbls/d”) into fixed-price swaps for the second quarter through the fourth quarter of 2020 in order to increase downside protection. Our current hedge portfolio covers 35,500 Bbls/d for the second half of 2020, with over half of those contracts consisting of fixed-price swaps and the remainder consisting of three-way collars;
Evaluated production economics at each field and shut-in production beginning in late March 2020 that was uneconomic to produce or repair based on prevailing oil prices; and
Conducted a complete market-based review of strategic alternatives, including a comprehensive restructuring, to enhance our liquidity and strengthen our capital structure.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


Collectively, the above factors, along with the materially adverse change in industry market conditions and our cash flow over the past several months, substantially diminished our ability to repay, refinance, or restructure our $2.1 billion of our then-outstanding long-term bond debt. After extensive, arm’s length negotiations, on July 28, 2020, we entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (“RSA”) with bank lenders and certain holders of our second lien and convertible notes. The RSA contemplates a restructuring of the Company pursuant to a prepackaged joint plan of reorganization. See discussion under Entry into Restructuring Support Agreement and Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code below.

Entry into Restructuring Support Agreement and Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code

On July 28, 2020, Denbury and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Denbury”) entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) with lenders holding 100% of the revolving loans under our bank credit facility (“Bank Credit Agreement”) and debtholders holding approximately 67.1% of our second lien notes and approximately 73.1% of our convertible notes, which contemplated a restructuring of the Company pursuant to a prepackaged joint plan of reorganization (the “Plan”). On July 30, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), Denbury and its subsidiaries filed petitions for reorganization in a “prepackaged” voluntary bankruptcy (the “Chapter 11 Restructuring”) under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) (case no. 20-33801). The Chapter 11 Restructuring is being undertaken to deleverage the Company, relieving it of approximately $2.1 billion of bond debt by issuing equity in a reorganized entity to the holders of that debt. Denbury continues to operate its businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court. On July 31, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders approving certain customary “first day” relief to enable Denbury to operate in the ordinary course during the Chapter 11 Restructuring, including approval on an interim basis of post-petition financing under a debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) facility (the “DIP Facility”) and use of cash collateral of Denbury’s lenders and secured noteholders.

The commencement of a voluntary proceeding in bankruptcy constituted an immediate event of default under the Bank Credit Agreement, the indentures governing our senior secured second lien notes, convertible senior notes, and senior subordinated notes and the agreements governing our NEJD pipeline lease financing. On August 4, 2020, we entered into the DIP Facility, and $185 million of our outstanding loans and all of our approximately $95 million of outstanding letters of credit under Denbury’s pre-petition revolving Bank Credit Agreement were “rolled up” into the DIP Facility. Immediately thereafter, Denbury initiated a repayment of $150 million of amounts borrowed under the DIP Facility with cash on hand. On August 7, 2020, the beneficiary of the $41.3 million letter of credit issued as “financial assurances” under the NEJD pipeline lease financing drew the full amount of such letter of credit in accordance with its terms as a result of the Chapter 11 Restructuring, which resulted in Denbury borrowing an identical amount under the DIP Facility. The Plan contemplates that, upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Restructuring, the DIP Facility be replaced with a committed exit facility, and Denbury’s pre-petition bond debt will receive the treatment set forth in the Plan and be cancelled. Accordingly, we have classified all outstanding debt, excluding the noncurrent portions of our capital leases and pipeline financings which the Plan contemplates will be reinstated upon emergence, as a current liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020. See also Note 4, Long-Term Debt – Chapter 11 Restructuring and Effect of Automatic Stay.

As consideration for the entry into the RSA by the ad hoc committee of holders of Denbury’s second lien notes and the compromises therein, on July 29, 2020, Denbury paid in cash prior to the Petition Date accrued and unpaid interest under the second lien notes of $8.0 million in the aggregate, as set forth in the RSA. The RSA provides for certain milestones requiring, among other things, that Denbury (i) obtains entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court approving the Disclosure Statement and confirming the Plan (the “Confirmation Order”) no later than September 6, 2020; (ii) obtains entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court approving the DIP Facility on a final basis no later than the earlier of (a) the entry of the Confirmation Order or (b) 35 days after the Petition Date; and (iii) causes the Plan to become effective no later than 14 days after entry of the Confirmation Order. Denbury is currently soliciting votes to accept the Plan from holders of claims and interests entitled to vote.

Below is a summary of the treatment that the stakeholders of the Company would receive under the Plan following emergence from chapter 11:

Trade and Other Claims. The holders of Denbury’s other secured, priority and trade vendor claims would have such obligations reinstated, paid in full in cash, or receive such other treatment to render such claims unimpaired.
Holders of Bank Credit Agreement Claims. The holders of obligations under the Bank Credit Agreement would have such obligations paid in full in cash or receive such other treatment to render such claims unimpaired.

Holders of Second Lien Notes Claims. The holders of obligations under senior secured second lien notes would receive their pro rata share of 95% of the reorganized company’s equity interests, subject to certain dilution on account of warrants and the management incentive plan.
Holders of Convertible Notes Claims. The holders of obligations under convertible senior notes would receive their pro rata share of (a) 5% of the reorganized company’s equity interests, subject to certain dilution on account of warrants and the management incentive plan and (b) 100% of the series A warrants on the terms set forth in the Plan.
Holders of Subordinated Notes Claims. If the class of subordinated notes claims votes to accept the Plan, holders of obligations under senior subordinated notes would receive their pro rata share of 54.55% of the series B warrants on the terms set forth in the Plan, reflecting 3% of the reorganized company’s equity interests after giving effect to the exercise of the Series A warrants.
Equity Holders. If the classes of subordinated notes claims and equity interests both vote to accept the Plan, holders of existing equity interests would receive their pro rata share of 45.45% of the series B warrants on the terms set forth in the Plan, reflecting 2.5% of the reorganized company’s equity interests after giving effect to the exercise of the Series A warrants.

Going Concern

As discussed above, the filing of the Chapter 11 Restructuring on July 30, 2020 constituted an event of default under all of our outstanding debt agreements, resulting in the automatic and immediate acceleration of the Company’s debt outstanding, with the exception of our capital leases and our obligations under our Free State pipeline transportation agreement. At that date, the Company did not have sufficient cash on hand or available liquidity to repay such debt.

Our operations and ability to develop and execute our business plan are subject to risk and uncertainty associated with the Chapter 11 Restructuring. The outcome of the Chapter 11 Restructuring is subject to factors that are outside of the Company’s control, including actions of the Bankruptcy Court and the Company’s creditors. There can be no assurance that we will confirm and consummate the Plan as contemplated by the RSA or complete another plan of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 Restructuring. As a result, we have concluded that management’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, and do not reflect any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on our reported net income (loss), current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total liabilities or stockholders’ equity.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

We consider all highly liquid investments to be cash equivalents if they have maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk as substantially all of its deposits held in financial institutions were in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits as of June 30, 2020. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in the form of checking accounts with financial institutions that are also lenders under the Bank Credit Agreement. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as reported within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to “Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period” as reported within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated in the same manner but includes the impact of potentially dilutive securities.  Potentially dilutive securities consisthave historically consisted of nonvested restricted stock, nonvested performance-based equity awards, warrants, and shares into which our convertible senior notes are convertible.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties

Unevaluated Costs. Under full cost accounting, we exclude certain unevaluated costs from the amortization base and full cost ceiling test pending the determination of whether proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. These costs are transferred to the full cost amortization base in the course ofas these properties beingare developed, tested and evaluated. At least annually, we test these assets for impairment based on an evaluation of management’s expectations of future pricing, evaluation of lease expiration terms, and planned project development activities. Given the significant declines in NYMEX oil prices to approximately $20 per Bbl in late March and April 2020 due to OPECthe oil supply pressures and a reductiondemand imbalance precipitated by the dramatic fall in worldwide oil demand amidassociated with the COVID-19 pandemic as well ascombined with the uncertainty of futureconcurrent OPEC+ decision to increase oil prices from demand destruction caused by the pandemic,supply, we reassessed our development plans and recognized an impairment of $244.9 million of our unevaluated costs during the three months ended March 31, 2020 (Predecessor), whereby these costs were transferred to the full cost amortization base. Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh start accounting which resulted in our oil and natural gas properties, including unevaluated properties, being recorded at their fair values at the Emergence Date (see Note 2, Fresh Start Accounting, for additional information).

Write-Down of Oil and Natural Gas Properties. The net capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties are limited to the lower of unamortized cost or the cost center ceiling. The cost center ceiling is defined as (1) the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves before future abandonment costs (discounted at 10%), based on the average first-day-of-the-month oil and natural gas price for each month during a 12-month rolling period prior to the end of a particular reporting period; plus (2) the cost of properties not being amortized; plus (3) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, if any; less (4) related income tax effects. Our future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves are not reduced for development costs related to the cost of drilling for and developing

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

CO2 reserves nor those related to the cost of constructing CO2 pipelines, as we do not have to incur additional costs to develop the proved oil and natural gas reserves. Therefore, we include in the ceiling test, as a reduction of future net revenues, that portion of our capitalized CO2 costs related to CO2 reserves and CO2 pipelines that we estimate will be consumed in the process of producing our proved oil and natural gas reserves. The fair value of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts is not included in the ceiling test, as we do not designate these contracts as hedge instruments for accounting purposes. The cost center ceiling test is prepared quarterly.quarterly and was also prepared as of the Emergence Date.

WeThe Predecessor recognized a full cost pool ceiling test write-downwrite-downs of $662.4$261.7 million and $72.5during the period from July 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020, $662.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, and $72.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. There was no full cost pool ceiling test write-down for the Successor period from September 19, 2020 respectively.through September 30, 2020. The first-day-of-the-month oil prices for the preceding 12 months, after adjustments for market differentials by field, averaged $44.74$40.08 per Bbl and $55.17as of September 18, 2020, $44.74 per Bbl as of June 30, 2020, and $55.17 per Bbl as of March 31, 2020, respectively.2020. In addition, the first-day-of-the-month natural gas prices for the preceding 12 months, after adjustments for market differentials by field, averaged $1.91$1.72 per MMBtu and $1.68as of September 18, 2020, $1.91 per MMBtu as of June 30, 2020, and $1.68 per MMBtu as of March 31, 2020, respectively. If oil prices remain at or near early-August 2020 levels for the remainder of 2020, we currently expect that we would also record write-downs in subsequent quarters in 2020, as the 12-month average price used in determining the full cost ceiling value will continue to decline during each rolling quarterly period in 2020, subject to the date of the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy and potential impacts of fresh start accounting, if applicable.2020.

Impairment Assessment of Long-Lived Assets

We test long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. These long-lived assets, which are not subject to our full cost pool ceiling test, are principally comprised of our capitalized CO2 properties and pipelines. Given the significant declines in NYMEX oil prices to approximately $20 per Bbl in late March 2020 due to OPEC supply pressures and a reduction in worldwide oil demand amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we performed a long-lived asset impairment test for our two long-lived asset groups (Gulf Coast region and Rocky Mountain region) as of March 31, 2020.2020 (Predecessor).


11


Table of Contents
Denbury Resources Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


We perform our long-lived asset impairment test by comparing the net carrying costs of our two long-lived asset groups to the respective expected future undiscounted net cash flows that are supported by these long-lived assets which include production of our probable and possible oil and natural gas reserves. The portion of our capitalized CO2 costs related to CO2 reserves and CO2 pipelines that we estimate will be consumed in the process of producing our proved oil and natural gas reserves is included in the full cost pool ceiling test as a reduction to future net revenues.  The remaining net capitalized costs that are not included in the full cost pool ceiling test, and related intangible assets, are subject to long-lived asset impairment testing. These costs totaled approximately $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2020.2020 (Predecessor). If the undiscounted net cash flows are below the net carrying costs for an asset group, we must record an impairment loss by the amount, if any, that net carrying costs exceed the fair value of the long-lived asset group. The undiscounted net cash flows for our asset groups exceeded the net carrying costs; thus, step two of the impairment test was not required and 0 impairment was recorded.

Significant assumptions impacting expected future undiscounted net cash flows include projections of future oil and natural gas prices, projections of estimated quantities of oil and natural gas reserves, projections of future rates of production, timing and amount of future development and operating costs, projected availability and cost of CO2, projected recovery factors of tertiary reserves and risk-adjustment factors applied to the cash flows. We performed a qualitative assessment as of June 30, 2020 and September 18, 2020 (Predecessor periods) and determined there were no material changes to our key cash flow assumptions and no triggering events since the analysis performed as of March 31, 2020; therefore, 0 impairment test was performed for the second quarter of 2020 or for the period ending September 18, 2020. Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh start accounting which resulted in our long-lived assets being recorded at their fair value at the Emergence Date (see Note 2, Fresh Start Accounting, for additional information).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, and requires the use of a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 adds, modifies, or removes certain disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements based on the FASB’s consideration of costs and benefits. Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2018-13. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or footnote disclosures.

Not Yet Adopted

Income Taxes. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). The objective of ASU 2019-12 is to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and to provide more consistent application to improve the comparability of financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on our consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures.

Note 2. Fresh Start Accounting

Fresh Start Accounting

Upon emergence from bankruptcy, we met the criteria and were required to adopt fresh start accounting in accordance with FASC Topic 852, Reorganizations, which on the Emergence Date resulted in a new entity, the Successor, for financial reporting purposes, with no beginning retained earnings or deficit as of the fresh start reporting date. The criteria requiring fresh start accounting are: (1) the holders of the then-existing common shares of the Predecessor received less than 50 percent of the new common shares of the Successor outstanding upon emergence from bankruptcy and (2) the reorganization value of the Company’s assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan was less than the total of all post-petition liabilities and allowed claims.

Fresh start accounting requires that new fair values be established for the Company’s assets, liabilities and equity as of the date of emergence from bankruptcy, September 18, 2020, and therefore certain values and operational results of the condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to September 18, 2020 are not comparable to those in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements prior to, and including September 18, 2020. The Emergence Date fair values of the Successor’s assets and liabilities differ materially from their recorded values as reflected on the historical balance sheet of the Predecessor.

Reorganization Value

The reorganization value derived from the range of enterprise values associated with the Plan was allocated to the Company’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their fair values. Under FASC Topic 852, reorganization value generally approximates the fair value of the entity before considering liabilities and is intended to approximate the amount a willing buyer would pay for the assets immediately after the effects of the restructuring. The value of the reconstituted entity (i.e., Successor) was based on management projections and the valuation models as determined by the Company’s financial advisors in setting an estimated range of enterprise values. As set forth in the Plan and Disclosure Statement approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the valuation analysis resulted in an enterprise value between $1.1 billion and $1.5 billion, with a mid-point of $1.3 billion. For U.S. GAAP purposes, we valued the Successor’s individual assets, liabilities, and equity instruments and determined the value of the enterprise was approximately $1.3 billion as of the Emergence Date, which fell in line with the mid-point of the forecast enterprise value ranges approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Specific valuation approaches and key assumptions used to arrive at reorganization value, and the value of discrete assets and liabilities resulting from the application of fresh start accounting, are described below in greater detail within the valuation process.

Plus: Current liabilities excluding current maturities of long-term debt 239,738
Plus: Non-interest bearing noncurrent liabilities 185,228
Reorganization value of the reconstituted Successor $1,751,407


With the assistance of third-party valuation advisors, we determined the enterprise and corresponding equity value of the Successor using various valuation approaches and methods, including: (i) income approach using a calculation of the present value of future cash flows based on our financial projections, (ii) the market approach using selling prices of similar assets and (iii) the cost approach.

The enterprise value and corresponding equity value are dependent upon achieving the future financial results set forth in our valuation using an asset-based methodology of estimated proved reserves, undeveloped properties, and other financial information, considerations and projections, applying a combination of the income, cost and market approaches as of the fresh start reporting date of September 18, 2020. All estimates, assumptions, valuations and financial projections, including the fair value adjustments, the financial projections, the enterprise value and equity value projections, are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and the resolution of contingencies beyond our control. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the estimates, assumptions, valuations or financial projections will be realized, and actual results could vary materially, including variances when presented in our upcoming Form 10-K report for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Reorganization Items, Net

Reorganization items represent (i) expenses incurred during the Chapter 11 Restructuring subsequent to the Petition Date as a direct result of the Plan, (ii) gains or losses from liabilities settled and (iii) fresh start accounting adjustments and are recorded in “Reorganization items, net” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Professional service provider charges associated with our restructuring that were incurred before the Petition Date and after the Emergence Date are recorded in “Other expenses” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Contractual interest expense of $22.0 million from the Petition Date through the Emergence Date associated with our outstanding senior secured second lien notes, convertible senior notes, and senior subordinated notes was not accrued or recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations as interest expense.

Payments of professional service provider fees and success fees of $12.7 million and fees of $3.1 million related to the Senior Secured Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (“DIP Facility”) were included in cash outflows from operating activities and financing activities, respectively, in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the period January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020.

Valuation Process

The fair values of our principal assets, including oil and natural gas properties, CO2 properties, pipelines, other property and equipment, long-term CO2 customer contracts, favorable and unfavorable vendor contracts, pipeline financing liabilities and right-of-use assets, asset retirement obligations and warrants were estimated as of the Emergence Date.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties

The Company’s principal assets are its oil and natural gas properties, which are accounted for under the full cost accounting method as described in Note 1, Basis of PresentationOil and Natural Gas Properties. The Company determined the fair value of its oil and gas properties based on the discounted cash flows expected to be generated from these assets. The computations were based on market conditions and reserves in place as of the Emergence Date.

The fair value analysis was based on the Company’s estimated future production of proved and probable reserves as prepared by the Company’s independent petroleum engineering firm. Discounted cash flow models were prepared using the estimated future revenues and operating costs for all developed wells and undeveloped properties comprising the proved and probable reserves. Future revenues were based upon forward strip oil and natural gas prices as of the Emergence Date through 2024 and escalated for inflation thereafter, adjusted for differentials. Operating costs were adjusted for inflation beginning in year 2025. A risk adjustment factor was applied to each reserve category, consistent with the risk of the category. The discounted cash flow models also included adjustments for income tax expenses.

Discount factors utilized were derived using a weighted average cost of capital computation, which included an estimated cost of debt and equity for market participants with similar geographies and asset development type and varying corporate income tax rates based on the expected point of sale for each property’s produced assets. Cash flows were also adjusted for a market participant profit on CO2 costs, since Denbury charges oil fields for CO2 use on a cost basis. Finally, reserve values were adjusted for any asset retirement obligations as well as for CO2 indirect costs not directly allocable to oil fields. Based on this analysis, the Company concluded the fair value of its proved and probable reserves was $865.4 million as of the Emergence Date (see footnote 10 to Fresh Start Adjustments discussion below).

CO2 Properties

The fair value of CO2 properties includes the value of CO2 mineral rights and associated infrastructure and was determined using the discounted cash flow method under the income approach. After-tax cash flows were forecast based on expected costs to produce and transport CO2 as provided by management, and income was imputed using a gross-up of costs based on a five-year average historical EBITDA margin for publicly traded companies that primarily develop or produce natural gas. Cash flows were then discounted using a rate considering reduced risk associated with CO2 industrial sales.

Pipelines

The fair values of our pipelines were determined using a combination of the replacement cost method under the cost approach and the discounted cash flow method under the income approach. The replacement cost method considers historical acquisition costs for the assets adjusted for inflation, as well as factors in any potential obsolescence based on the current condition of the assets and the ability of those assets to generate cash flow. For assets valued using the discounted cash flow method, after-tax cash flows were forecast based on expected costs provided by management, and profits were imputed using a gross-up of costs based on a five-year average historical EBITDA margin for publicly traded companies that primarily transport natural gas. Pipeline depreciable lives represent the remaining estimated useful lives of the pipelines, which will be depreciated on a straight-line basis ranging from 20 to 43 years.

Other Property and Equipment

The fair value of the non-reserve related property and equipment such as land, buildings, equipment, leasehold improvements and software was determined using the replacement cost method under the cost approach which considers historical acquisition costs for the assets adjusted for inflation, as well as factors in any potential obsolescence based on the current condition of the assets and the ability of those assets to generate cash flow.

Long-Term CO2 Customer Contracts

The fair value of long-term CO2 customer contracts was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”) under the income approach. MPEEM attributes cash flow to a specific intangible asset based on residual cash flows from a set of assets generating revenues after accounting for appropriate returns on and of other assets contributing to that revenue generation. Cash flows were forecast based on expected changes in pricing, volumes, renewal rates, and costs using volumes and prices through and beyond the initial contract terms. After-tax cash flows were discounted using a rate considering reduced risk of these industrial contracts relative to overall oil and gas production risks. The contracts will be depreciated over a useful life of seven to 14 years.

Favorable and Unfavorable Vendor Contracts

We recognized both favorable and unfavorable contracts using the incremental value method under the income approach. The incremental value method calculates value on the basis of the pricing differential between historical contracted rates and estimated pricing that the Company would most likely receive if it entered into similar contract conditions (other than the price) as of the Emergence Date. The differential is applied to expected contract volumes, tax-affected and discounted at a discount rate consistent with the risk of the associated cash flows.
Asset Retirement Obligations

The fair value of the asset retirement obligations was revalued based upon estimated current reclamation costs for our assets with reclamation obligations, an appropriate long-term inflation adjustment, and our revised credit adjusted risk-free rate (“CARFR”). The new CARFR was based on an evaluation of similar industry peers with similar factors such as emergence, new capital structure and current rates for oil and gas companies.

Pipeline Financing Liabilities

The fair value of the pipeline financing liabilities was measured as the present value of the remaining payments under the restructured pipeline agreements (see Note 6, Long-Term DebtPipeline Financing Transactions, for further discussion).

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Warrants

The fair values of the warrants issued upon the Emergence Date were estimated by applying a Black-Scholes-Merton model. The Black-Scholes-Merton model is a pricing model used to estimate the fair value of a European-style call or put option/warrant based on a current stock price, strike price, time to maturity, risk-free rate, annual volatility rate, and annual dividend yield.

The model used the following assumptions: implied stock price (total equity divided by total shares outstanding) of the Successor’s shares of common stock of $22.14; initial strike price per share of $32.59 and $35.41 for series A and B warrants, respectively; expected volatility of 49.3% and 53.6% for series A and B warrants, respectively; risk-free interest rates of 0.3% and 0.2% for series A and B warrants, respectively, using the United States Treasury Constant Maturity rates; and an expected annual dividend yield of 0%. Expected volatility was estimated using volatilities of similar entities whose share or option prices and assumptions were publicly available. The time to maturity of the warrants was based on the contractual terms of the warrants of five and three years for series A and series B warrants, respectively. The values were also adjusted for potential dilution impacts.

Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet

The following illustrates the effects on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet due to the reorganization and fresh start accounting adjustments. The explanatory notes following the table below provide further details on the adjustments, including the assumptions and methods used to determine fair value for its assets, liabilities, and warrants.

Note 3. Leases

We evaluate contracts for leasing arrangements at inception. We lease office space, equipment, and vehicles that have non-cancelable lease terms. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our balance sheet. As part of the Chapter 11 Restructuring, the Predecessor elected to terminate some of its operating leases, primarily related to office space.

Lease costs for operating leases or leases with a term of 12 months or less are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset are recognized separately, with the depreciable life reflective of the expected lease term. The Predecessor previously subleased part of the office space included in its operating leases for which it received rental payments. Since those office space leases were terminated during the Chapter 11 Restructuring, the underlying sublease agreements were also terminated as of September 30, 2020.

Note 4. Predecessor Divestiture

On March 4, 2020, wethe Predecessor closed a farm-down transaction for the sale of half of ourits working interest positions in four southeast Texas oil fields for $40 million net cash and a carried interest in ten wells to be drilled by the purchaser. WeThe Predecessor did not record a gain or loss on the sale of the properties in accordance with the full cost method of accounting.

Note 3.5. Revenue Recognition

We record revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification (“FASC”)FASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of FASC Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount of consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. Once we have delivered the volume of commodity to the delivery


1225


Table of Contents
Denbury Resources Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

we have delivered the volume of commodity to the delivery point and the customer takes delivery and possession, we are entitled to payment and we invoice the customer for such delivered production. Payment under most oil and CO2 contracts is made within a month following product delivery and for natural gas and NGL contracts is generally made within two months following delivery. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers; however, as the right to consideration after delivery is unconditional based on only the passage of time before payment of the consideration is due, upon delivery we record a receivable in “Accrued production receivable” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, which was $77.3$74.3 million and $139.4 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 (Successor) and December 31, 2019 (Predecessor), respectively. TheFrom time to time, the Company enters into marketing arrangements for the purchase transactions with third parties and separate sale transactions withof crude oil for third parties in the Gulf Coast region. Revenues and expenses from these transactions are presented on a gross basis, as we act as a principal in the transaction by assuming control of the commodities purchased and the responsibility to deliver the commodities sold. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the purchaser at the delivery point based on the price received from the purchaser.

As discussedPrior to our emergence from bankruptcy, our debt consisted of the Predecessor’s Bank Credit Agreement, senior secured second lien notes, convertible senior notes, senior subordinated notes, pipeline financings, and capital lease obligations. On the Emergence Date, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, all outstanding obligations under the senior secured second lien notes, convertible senior notes, and senior subordinated notes were fully extinguished, relieving approximately $2.1 billion of debt by issuing equity and/or warrants in the Successor to the holders of that debt. See Note 1, Basis of PresentationEntry into Restructuring Support Agreement andEmergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, on July 30, 2020, Denbury filed for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Both the NEJD pipeline lease financing and Free State pipeline transportation agreement are not impaired and are expected to continue post-bankruptcy under their existing terms and maintain their long-term nature. Therefore, the noncurrent portions of our pipeline financings remain classified as long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020. Any efforts to enforce payment obligations related to the acceleration of the Company’s debt have been automatically stayed as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Restructuring, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Successor Bank Credit Agreement contains certain financial performance covenants, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020 through the maturity of the facility, including the following:

A Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDAX covenant, with such ratio not to exceed 5.25 to 1.0 through December 31, 2020 and 4.50 to 1.0 thereafter;
A consolidated senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDAX covenant, with such ratio not to exceed 2.5 to 1.0. Only debt under our Bank Credit Agreement is considered consolidated senior secured debt for purposes of this ratio;
A minimum permitted ratio of consolidated EBITDAX to consolidated interest charges of 1.25 to 1.0;3.5 times; and
A requirement to maintain a current ratio (i.e., Consolidated Current Assets to Consolidated Current Liabilities) of 1.0 to 1.0.times.

For purposes of computing the current ratio per the Successor Bank Credit Agreement, Consolidated Current Assets exclude the current portion of derivative assets but include available borrowing capacity under the senior secured bank credit facility,that agreement, and Consolidated Current Liabilities exclude the current portion of derivative liabilities as well as the current portions of long-term indebtedness outstanding.

Loans under the Successor Bank Credit Agreement are subject to varying rates of interest based on either (1) for ABR Loans, a base rate determined under the Successor Bank Credit Agreement (the “ABR”) plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 3.00% per annum, or (2) for LIBOR Loans, the LIBOR rate (subject to a 1% floor) plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.00% to 4.00% per annum (capitalized terms as defined in the Successor Bank Credit Agreement).  The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2020 under the Successor Bank Credit Agreement was 4.0%. The undrawn portion of the aggregate lender commitments under the Successor Bank Credit Agreement is subject to a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum.

Pipeline Financing Transactions

On August 7, 2020, Genesis Energy, L.P. (“Genesis”) as the beneficiary of the $41.3 million letter of credit issued as “financial assurances” under the NEJD pipeline lease financing drew the full amount of such letter of credit in accordance with its terms as a result of the Predecessor’s Chapter 11 Restructuring, which resulted in a corresponding reduction to the principal balance outstanding. In late October 2020, we restructured our CO2 pipeline financing arrangements with Genesis, whereby (1) Denbury reacquired the NEJD pipeline system from Genesis in exchange for $70 million to be paid in four equal payments during 2021, representing full settlement of all remaining obligations under the NEJD secured financing lease; and (2) Denbury reacquired the amendments thereto.Free State Pipeline from Genesis in exchange for a one-time payment of $22.5 million on October 30, 2020.

Second Quarter 2020 Conversion of 6⅜% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024

During the second quarter of 2020, holders of $19.9 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of ourthe Predecessor’s 6⅜% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Convertible Senior Notes”) converted their notes into shares of Denburythe Predecessor’s common stock, at the rates specified in the indenture for the notes, resulting in the issuance of 7.4 million shares of ourPredecessor common stock upon conversion. The debt principal balance net of debt discounts totaling $13.9 million, was reclassified to “Paid-in capital in excess of par” and “Common stock” in ourthe Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Predecessor upon the conversion of the notes into shares of DenburyPredecessor common stock. As of June 30, 2020, there was $225.7 million 2024 Convertible Senior Notes outstanding.

First Quarter 2020 Repurchases of Senior Secured Notes

During March 2020, wethe Predecessor repurchased a total of $30.2 million aggregate principal amount of our 2021its 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2021 in open-market transactions for a total purchase price of $14.2 million, excluding accrued interest. In connection with these transactions, wethe Predecessor recognized a $19.0 million gain on debt extinguishment, net of unamortized debt issuance costs and future interest payable written off.

Note 5.7. Income Taxes

On March 27, 2020, Congress enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) to provide certain taxpayer relief as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act included several favorable provisions that impacted income taxes, primarily the modified rules on the deductibility of business interest expense for 2019 and 2020, a five-year carryback period for net operating losses generated after 2017 and before 2021, and the acceleration of refundable alternative minimum tax credits.

We evaluate our estimated annual effective income tax rate based on current and forecasted business results and enacted tax laws on a quarterly basis and apply this tax rate to our ordinary income or loss to calculate our estimated tax liability or benefit. Our income taxes are based on an estimated statutory rate of approximately 25% in 2020 and 2019. As provided for under FASC 740-270-35-2, we determined the actual effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was the best estimate of our annual effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate for the six monthsPredecessor period ended June 30,September 18, 2020 differed from our estimated statutory rate, primarily due to the numerous tax impacts related to the emergence from the Chapter 11 Restructuring, including the reduction of tax attributes from the exclusion of cancellation of debt income according to Section 108 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and the establishment of a full valuation allowance onof our $85.0 million of enhanced oil recovery creditsfederal and research and development credits that currently are not expected to be utilized, partially offset bystate deferred tax changes enacted byassets existing after fresh start accounting. For the CARES Act which resulted in the full releaseSuccessor period ended September 30, 2020, our effective tax rate differed from our estimated statutory rate as a result of a $24.5 million valuation allowance against a portion ofapplied to our business interest expense deduction that we previously estimated would be disallowed.federal and state deferred tax assets.

Note 8. Stockholders' Equity

Registration Rights Agreement

On the Emergence Date, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with former beneficial holders of the second lien notes of the Predecessor who entered into the RSA dated July 28, 2020, and that together with their affiliates received 4% or more of New Common Stock (including as a result of exercise of series A warrants of the Successor) pursuant to the Plan, or their affiliates.

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, Securityholders have customary demand and piggyback registration rights, subject to the limitations set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. As part of the offering registration rights, Securityholders have the right to demand the Company to effectuate the distribution of any or all of its Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) by means of an underwritten offering pursuant to an effective registration statement; provided, however, that the expected aggregate offering price is equal to or greater than $25.0 million or includes at least 20% of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities.

These registration rights are subject to certain conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters to limit the number of shares to be included in an offering and the Company’s right to delay or withdraw a registration statement under certain circumstances. The Company will generally pay all registration expenses in connection with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, regardless of whether a registration statement is filed or becomes effective. The registration rights granted in the Registration Rights Agreement are subject to customary indemnification and contribution provisions, as well as customary restrictions such as blackout periods and, if an underwritten offering is contemplated, limitations on the number of shares to be included in the underwritten offering that may be imposed by the managing underwriter.

Note 6.9. Stock Compensation

2020 Compensation Adjustments

In response to the then ongoing significant economic and market uncertainty affecting the oil and gas industry, in June 2020 the CompanyPredecessor and its Board of Directors (the “Board”“Predecessor Board”) and Compensation Committee (the “Compensation“Predecessor Compensation Committee”) conducted a comprehensive review of our compensation programs across the organization. As a result of this review, the Predecessor Board and Predecessor Compensation Committee determined that ourits historic compensation structure and performance metrics would not be effective in motivating and incentivizing ourits workforce in the current environment. With the advice of ourits independent compensation consultant and its legal advisors, effective June 3, 2020, the CompanyPredecessor and the Predecessor Board implemented a revised compensation structure for all of the Company’sPredecessor’s employees (including its named executive officers) and non-employee directors. In connection with the revised compensation structure, the Company’s CEO voluntarily reduced his 2020 base annual salary by 20%, and the Company’s CEO and CFO voluntarily reduced 2020 targeted variable compensation by 35% and 20%, respectively. In addition, the Predecessor Chairman of the Board reduced his 2020 chairman retainer by 20%.

Under part of the revised compensation structure, which applies to a group of 21 of the Company’s executives (including our named executive officers) and senior managers, all outstanding equity awards and 2020 targeted variable cash-based compensation for those individuals were canceled and replaced with a cash retention incentive. In total, $15.2 million in cash retention incentives were prepaid to those employees in June 2020, with an obligation to repay up to 100% of the compensation (on an after-tax basis) if certainspecified conditions are not satisfied. OurThe Predecessor’s named executive officers’ cash retention incentive will be earned 50% based on their continued employment for a period of up to 12 months, and 50% based on achieving certain specified incentive metrics.

nIn accordance with FASC Topic 718, CompensationStock Compensation, we accounted for the transaction involving equity compensation as an award modification and reclassified the awards from equity to liability awards. As a result of the modification of the awards, unrecognized compensation at the time of modification was determined to be $18.7 million ($4.1 million of incremental compensation expense, of which $3.4 million was expensed during the second quarter of 2020 and $0.7 million was expensed during the Predecessor period from July 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020), which was higher than the $15.2 million cash payment, and was calculated as the greater of (i) grant date fair value of the previously-outstanding awards plus incremental compensation (defined as cash paid related to the cash retention incentive in excess of the modification date fair value of the previously-existing awards) or (ii) cash paid for the cash retention incentive for each award. The value will bewas recognized as total compensation expense for each award over the service period. We recognized $11.5 million of the $18.7 million as compensation expense in “General and administrative expenses” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the second quarter of 2020, withand the remaining $7.2 million amortized overduring the estimated remaining service period.Predecessor period from July 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020. The accounting for the Predecessor’s remaining share-based compensation awards will continuecontinued throughout the period covered by the Chapter 11 Restructuring.Restructuring, and upon cancellation of the awards, an additional $4.6 million of compensation expense was recognized during the Predecessor period ended September 18, 2020.

Note 7.10. Commodity Derivative Contracts

We do not apply hedge accounting treatment to our oil and natural gas derivative contracts; therefore, the changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized in income in the period of change.  These fair value changes, along with the settlements of expired contracts, are shown under “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Historically, we have entered into various oil and natural gas derivative contracts to provide an economic hedge of our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil and natural gas production and to provide more certainty to our future cash flows. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Generally, these contracts have

consisted of various combinations of price floors, collars, three-way collars, fixed-price swaps, fixed-price swaps enhanced with a sold put, and basis swaps. The production that we hedge has varied from year to year depending on our levels of debt, financial strength and expectation of future commodity prices. Under the terms of our Successor Bank Credit Agreement, at any point in time within the initial measurement period of August 1, 2020 through July 31, 2021, we are required to have hedges in place covering a minimum of 65% of our anticipated crude oil production and 35% of our anticipated crude oil production for the second measurement period of August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022. We have until December 31, 2020 to enter into transactions for the initial measurement period to be in compliance.

We manage and control market and counterparty credit risk through established internal control procedures that are reviewed on an ongoing basis.  We attempt to minimize credit risk exposure to counterparties through formal credit policies, monitoring procedures and diversification, and all of our commodity derivative contracts are with parties that are lenders under our Successor Bank Credit Agreement (or affiliates of such lenders). As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, all of our outstanding derivative contracts were subject to enforceable master netting arrangements whereby payables on those contracts can be offset against receivables from separate derivative contracts with the same counterparty. It is our policy to classify derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis on our balance sheets, even if the contracts are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements.

(1)Ranges presented for fixed-price swaps represent the lowest and highest fixed prices of all open contracts for the period presented. For three-way collars, ranges represent the lowest floor price and highest ceiling price for all open contracts for the period presented.
(2)A three-way collar is a costless collar contract combined with a sold put feature (at a lower price) with the same counterparty. The value received for the sold put is used to enhance the contracted floor and ceiling price of the related collar. At the contract settlement date, (1) if the index price is higher than the ceiling price, we pay the counterparty the difference between the index price and ceiling price for the contracted volumes, (2) if the index price is between the floor and ceiling price, no settlements occur, (3) if the index price is lower than the floor price but at or above the sold put price, the counterparty pays us the difference between the index price and the floor price for the contracted volumes and (4) if oil prices average less than the sold put price, our receipts on settlement would be limited to the difference between the floor price and the sold put price for the contracted volumes.

On July 31, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an interim order authorizing Denbury to maintain its pre-petition hedge contracts and enter into new hedges in the ordinary course of business. See Note 1,Basis of PresentationEntry into Restructuring Support Agreement and Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Note 8.11. Fair Value Measurements

The FASC Fair Value Measurement topic defines fair value 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 (often referred to as the “exit price”). We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. We primarily apply the income approach for recurring fair value measurements


31


Table of Contents
Denbury Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

and endeavor to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We are able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The FASC establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded oil derivatives that are based on NYMEX and regional pricing other than NYMEX (e.g., Light Louisiana Sweet). Our costless collars and the sold put features of our three-way collars are valued using the Black-Scholes model, an industry standard option valuation model that takes into account inputs such as contractual prices for the underlying instruments, maturity, quoted forward prices for commodities, interest rates, volatility factors and credit worthiness, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.


18


Table of Contents
Denbury Resources Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. As of December 31, 2019, instruments in this category included non-exchange-traded three-way collars that were based on regional pricing other than NYMEX (e.g., Light Louisiana Sweet). The valuation models utilized for three-way collars were consistent with the methodologies described above; however, the implied volatilities utilized in the valuation of Level 3 instruments were developed using a benchmark, which was considered a significant unobservable input.

We adjust the valuations from the valuation model for nonperformance risk, using our estimate of the counterparty’s credit quality for asset positions and our credit quality for liability positions. We use multiple sources of third-party credit data in determining counterparty nonperformance risk, including credit default swaps.

Instruments previously categorized as Level 3 included non-exchange-traded three-way collars that were based on regional pricing other than NYMEX, whereby the implied volatilities utilized were developed using a benchmark, which was considered a significant unobservable input. The transfers between Level 3 and Level 2 during the period generally relate to changes in the significant relevant observable and unobservable inputs that are available for the fair value measurements of such financial instruments.

Other Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of our loans under our Successor Bank Credit Agreement approximate fair value, as they are subject to short-term floating interest rates that approximate the rates available to us for those periods. We use a market approach to determine the fair value of our fixed-rate long-term debt using observable market data. The fair values of ourthe Predecessor’s senior secured second lien notes, convertible senior notes, and senior subordinated notes arewere based on quoted market prices, which are considered Level 1 measurements under the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the principal amount of our debt as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, excluding pipeline financing obligations, was $922.085.0 million and $1,833.1 million, respectively, which decrease is primarily driven by a decrease in quoted market prices.the result of the cancellation of $2.1 billion principal amount of debt as part of the Chapter 11 Restructuring.

Litigation

We are involved in various lawsuits, claims and regulatory proceedings incidental to our businesses.  We are also subject to audits for various taxes (income, sales and use, and severance) in the various states in which we operate, and from time to time receive assessments for potential taxes that we may owe. While we currently believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties.  We accrue for losses from litigation and claims if we determine that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Riley Ridge Helium Supply Contract Claim

As part of our 2010 and 2011 acquisitions of the Riley Ridge Unit and associated gas processing facility that was under construction, the Company assumed a 20-year helium supply contract under which we agreed to supply the helium separated from the full well stream by operation of the gas processing facility to a third-party purchaser, APMTG Helium, LLC (“APMTG”). The helium supply contract provides for the delivery of a minimum contracted quantity of helium, with liquidated damages payable if specified quantities of helium are not supplied in accordance with the terms of the contract. The liquidated damages are capped at an aggregate of $46.0 million over the term of the contract.

As the gas processing facility has been shut-in since mid-2014 due to significant technical issues, we have not been able to supply helium under the helium supply contract. In a case filed in November 2014 in the Ninth Judicial District Court of Sublette County, Wyoming, APMTG claimed multiple years of liquidated damages for non-delivery of volumes of helium specified under the helium supply contract. The Company claimed that its contractual obligations were excused by virtue of events that fall within the force majeure provisions in the helium supply contract.

On March 11, 2019, the trial court entered a final judgment that a force majeure condition did exist, but the Company’s performance was excused by the force majeure provisions of the contract for only a 35-day period in 2014, and as a result the Company should pay APMTG liquidated damages and interest thereon for those time periods from contract commencement to the close of evidence (November 29, 2017). The Company’s position continues to be that its contractual obligations have been and continue to be excused by events that fall within the force majeure provisions of the helium supply contract, so the Company has appealed the trial court’s ruling to the Wyoming Supreme Court. Briefing for the appeal by the Company and APMTG was completed on June 3, 2020, and oralOral arguments to bewere heard by the Wyoming Supreme Court are currently scheduled foron August 13, 2020, after which2020. We anticipate the Wyoming Supreme Court will enter its judgment on the appeal. The timing andappeal within the next few months; however, the outcome of thisthe appeal process is currently unpredictable, but at this time is anticipated to extend over the three or four months following the conclusion of oral arguments. The Company expects to enter into a stipulation with APMTG, to be approved by the Bankruptcy Court, to lift the automatic stay with respect to this proceeding so that the appeal process may proceed as outlined above.unpredictable.

Absent reversal of the trial court’s ruling on appeal, the Company anticipates total liquidated damages would equal the $46.0 million aggregate cap under the helium supply contract plus $6.2$6.7 million of associated costs (through JuneSeptember 30, 2020), for a total of $52.2$52.7 million, included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020. The Company has a $32.8 million letter of credit posted as security in this case as part of the appeal process.

OVERVIEW

Denbury is an independent oil and natural gas company with operations focused in two key operating areas: the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions. Our goal is to increase the value of our properties through a combination of exploitation, drilling and proven engineering extraction practices, with the most significant emphasis relating to CO2 enhanced oil recovery operations.

September 18, 2020 Emergence from Chapter 11 Restructuring. On July 30, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), Denbury Resources Inc. and its subsidiaries filed petitions for reorganization in a “prepackaged” voluntary bankruptcy (the “Chapter 11 Restructuring”) under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) under the caption “In re Denbury Resources Inc., et al., Case No. 20-33801”. On September 2, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) and approving the disclosure statement, and on September 18, 2020 (the “Emergence Date”), the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms and the Company emerged from Chapter 11. On September 18, 2020, Denbury filed the Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect a change of the Company’s corporate name from Denbury Resources Inc. to Denbury Inc. (the “Successor”), and on September 21, 2020, the Successor’s new common stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “DEN”. Key accomplishments of the Chapter 11 Restructuring include the following:

Eliminated approximately $2.1 billion of bond debt by issuing equity and/or warrants to the holders of that debt;
Significantly improved leverage ratios;
Reduced ongoing annual interest expense by approximately $165 million, significantly lowering our cash flow breakeven level;
Eliminated approximately $9 million from ongoing general and administrative expenses by terminating certain office leases and relocating our corporate headquarters; and
Established a new $575 million senior secured bank credit facility with $436.7 million of availability at September 30, 2020 after outstanding letters of credit.

For more information on the Chapter 11 Restructuring and related matters, refer to Note 1, Basis of PresentationEmergence from Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, and Note 6, Long-Term Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fresh Start Accounting. Upon emergence from bankruptcy, we met the criteria and were required to adopt fresh start accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification (“FASC”) Topic 852, Reorganizations, which on the Emergence Date resulted in a new entity, the Successor, for financial reporting purposes, with no beginning retained earnings or deficit as of the fresh start reporting date. References to “Successor” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company subsequent to the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy on September 18, 2020, and references to “Predecessor” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company prior to, and including, September 18, 2020. In order to assist investors in understanding the comparability of our financial results for the applicable periods, we have provided certain comparative analysis on a combined basis, which management believes provides meaningful information to assist investors in understanding our financial results for the applicable period, but should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, independent results of the Predecessor and Successor periods for the quarter reported in accordance with GAAP.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Fresh start accounting requires that new fair values be established for the Company’s assets, liabilities and equity as of the date of emergence from bankruptcy, September 18, 2020, and therefore certain values and operational results of the condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to September 18, 2020 are not comparable to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements prior to, and including September 18, 2020, principally due to the Emergence Date re-evaluation of the fair value of our oil and natural gas properties, CO2 properties, and pipelines, together with the conversion of over $2 billion of previously outstanding debt into new common stock in the Successor. The reorganization value derived from the range of enterprise values associated with the Plan was allocated to the Company’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their fair values. The Emergence Date fair values of the Successor’s assets and liabilities differ materially from their recorded values as reflected on the historical balance sheet of the Predecessor and may materially affect our results of operations in Successor reporting periods.

Oil Price Impact on Our Business.  Our financial results are significantly impacted by changes in oil prices, as 98%97% of our production is oil. Changes in oil prices impact all aspects of our business; most notably our cash flows from operations, revenues, capital allocation and budgeting decisions, and oil and natural gas reserves volumes. The table below outlines changes in our realized oil prices, before and after commodity hedging impacts, for our most recent comparative periods:

Recent Developments in Response to 2020 Oil Price Declines. In January and February 2020, NYMEX WTI oil prices averaged in the mid-$50s per Bbl range before a precipitous decline in early March 2020 due to the combination of OPEC supply pressures and a reduction in worldwide oil demand amid the COVID-19 coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the failure of the group of oil producing nations known as OPEC+ to reach an agreement over proposed oil production cuts. Although OPEC+ subsequently agreed to reduced levels of production output, concerns about the ability of OPEC+ to maintain compliance with their reduced production targets and uncertainty about the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting economic consequences has resulted in NYMEXabnormally high worldwide inventories of produced oil. While oil prices averaging approximately $30 per Bbl in March. NYMEXhave improved from the low points experienced during the second quarter of 2020, the concerns and uncertainties around the balance of supply and demand for oil prices continuedare expected to decline in April 2020 to an average of $17 per Bbl, before increasing to an average of $29 per Bbl during May 2020, $38 per Bbl during June 2020, and $41 per Bbl during July 2020.continue for some time.

The decrease in NYMEX oil prices duringthat began in the second quarterlatter part of 2020, as compared to the first quarter of 2020 has significantly decreasedreduced our realized oil prices in the second quarter of 2020 by almost half compared to those realized in the first quarter of 2020.cash flow. In response to these developments, in the first six months of 2020 we have implemented the following operational and financial measures:

Reduced budgeted 2020 capital spending by $80 million, or 44%, to approximately $95 million to $105 million;
Deferred the Cedar Creek Anticline CO2 tertiary flood development project beyond 2020;
Implemented cost reduction measures including shutting down compressors, or delayingdelayed uneconomic well repairs and workovers that are uneconomic and reducingreduced our workforce to better align with current and projected near-term needs;
Restructured approximately 50% of our three-way collars covering 14,500 barrels per day (“Bbls/d”) into fixed-price swaps for the second quarter through the fourth quarter of 2020 in order to increase downside protection. Our current hedge portfolio covers 35,500 Bbls/d for the second half of 2020, with over half of those contracts consisting of fixed-price swapsoil price protection; and the remainder consisting of three-way collars;
Evaluated production economics at each field and shut-in production beginning in late March 2020 that was uneconomic to produce or repair based on prevailingthen-prevailing oil prices;prices.

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results and Highlights. As a result of Denbury filing for bankruptcy and emerging from bankruptcy during the same quarter, our quarterly financial results are broken out between the predecessor period (July 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020) and the successor period (September 19, 2020 through September 30, 2020). For the predecessor period we recognized a net loss of $809.1 million, and for the successor period we recognized net income of $2.8 million. The primary drivers of our significant financial net loss for the predecessor period included the following:
Conducted a complete market-based review of strategic alternatives, including a comprehensive restructuring, to enhance our liquidity and strengthen our capital structure. After extensive negotiations, we arrived at the transactions embodied in the restructuring support agreement (the “RSA”). See discussion under Chapter 11 Restructuring below.

Reorganization items, net, resulted in a $850.0 million charge during the predecessor period, primarily consisting of fresh start accounting adjustments of $1.9 billion to decrease the carrying value of our assets, partially offset by a gain on settlements

Chapter 11 Restructuring. On July 28, 2020, Denbury and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Denbury”) entered intoof liabilities subject to compromise of $1.0 billion, primarily representing the RSA with lenders holding 100% of the revolving loans under our bank credit facility (“Bank Credit Agreement”) and certain holders of a majority of senior secured second lien notes and convertible senior notes to support a restructuring in accordance with the terms set forth in the Company’s chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Plan”). On July 30, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), Denbury and its subsidiaries filed petitions for reorganization in a “prepackaged” voluntary bankruptcy (the “Chapter 11 Restructuring”) under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 Restructuring is being undertaken to deleverage the Company, relieving itnet impact of approximately $2.1 billion of bond debt elimination offset by issuingthe new equity value in Denbury; and
A $261.7 million full cost pool ceiling test write-down during the predecessor period as a reorganized entity to the holders of that debt. The Plan and the related disclosure statement were each filed with the Bankruptcy Court on July 30, 2020. We expect to continue operations in the normal course for the durationresult of the Chapter 11 Restructuring. On July 31, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders approving certain customary “first day” relief to enable Denbury to operatedecline in the ordinary course during the Chapter 11 Restructuring, including approval on an interim basis of post-petition financing under a debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) facility (the “DIP Facility”) and use of cash collateral of Denbury’s lenders and secured noteholders. Denbury is currently soliciting votes to accept a proposed chapter 11 plan (the “Plan”) from holders of claims and interests entitled to vote. The hearing to confirm the Plan and the final hearing on approval of the DIP Facility and use of cash collateral is currently scheduled for September 2, 2020.

Comparative Financial Results and Highlights. WeOn a comparative basis, we recognized a net loss of $697.5 million, or $1.41 per diluted common share, during the second quarter of 2020, compared to net income of $146.7$72.9 million or $0.32 per diluted common share, duringin the second quarterprior year third quarter. The following reflects some of 2019. Thethe primary drivers offor our change in operating results werebetween the following:third quarter 2020, in aggregate, and the third quarter of 2019:

Oil and natural gas revenues decreased by $221.0$117.8 million (67%(40%), with 51%28% of the decrease due to lower commodity prices and 16%12% of the decrease due to lower production, offset in part by an improvement in derivative commodity settlements of $47.2 million from the prior-year period;production;
A $662.4 million full cost pool ceiling test write-down as a result of the decline in NYMEX oil prices;
Commodity derivatives expense increased by $64.9 million ($40.1 million of expense during the second quarter of 2020 compared to $24.8 million of income during the second quarter of 2019), resulting from $112.1 million of incremental noncash fair value losses partially offset by a $47.2 million increase in cash receipts upon settlement between the second quarters of 2019 and 2020;
Reductions across numerous expense categories, the most significant being $36.6 million in lease operating expenses and $15.1 million in taxes other than income; and
A non-cash gain on debt extinguishment, net of transaction costs, of $100.3 million in the prior-year period related to our June 2019 notes exchanges.
Lease operating expenses decreased by $46.7 million (40%), primarily due to lower expenses for workovers, CO2, power and fuel, and labor costs as well as a $15.4 million insurance recovery of costs incurred in 2013.

(“Genesis”), whereby (1) Denbury reacquired the second quarterNEJD pipeline system from Genesis in exchange for $70 million to be paid in four equal payments during 2021, representing full settlement of 2020, holdersall remaining obligations under the NEJD secured financing lease; and (2) Denbury reacquired the Free State Pipeline from Genesis in exchange for a one-time payment of $19.9$22.5 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 6⅜% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Convertible Senior Notes”) converted their notes into shares of Denbury common stock, at the rates specified in the indenture for the notes, resulting in the issuance of 7.4 million shares of our common stock upon conversion. The debt principal balance net of debt discounts totaling $13.9 million, was reclassified to “Paid-in capital in excess of par” and “Common stock” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets upon the conversion of the notes into shares of Denbury common stock. As of Juneon October 30, 2020, there was $225.7 million 2024 Convertible Senior Notes outstanding.2020.

Denbury’s portion of Senior Secured Notesthe insurance recovery of $15.4 million was recorded as a reduction to lease operating expenses.

Houston Area Land Sales. During MarchWe have been actively marketing for sale non-producing surface acreage primarily around the Houston area.  On July 24, 2020, we repurchasedcompleted the sale of a portion of this acreage for gross proceeds of approximately $14 million, and completed the sale on an additional portion for gross proceeds of approximately $11 million on October 30, 2020. To date, we have closed acreage sales for total gross proceeds of $30.2approximately $45 million, aggregate principal amountand we currently have an additional $4 million under contract which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of our 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Senior Secured Notes”) in open-market transactions for a total purchase price of $14.2 million, excluding accrued interest.

First Quarter 2020 Sale of Working Interests in Certain Texas Fields. On March 4, 2020, we closed a farm-down transaction for the sale of half of our nearly 100% working interest positions in four southeast Texas oil fields (consisting of Webster, Thompson, Manvel and East Hastings) for $40 million net cash and a carried interest in ten wells to be drilled by the purchaser (the “Gulf Coast Working Interests Sale”).

Suspension of Trading on the NYSE. Our common stock was traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “DNR” until July 29, 2020. On July 31, 2020, the NYSE notified us of its determination to commence proceedings to delist our common stock from the NYSE, and as of July 31, 2020 to indefinitely suspend trading of our common stock on the NYSE. Suspension of trading in our common stock and delisting proceedings were undertaken by the NYSE in accordance with Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual due to our filing of the Chapter 11 Restructuring on July 30, 2020. Our common stock now trades on the OTC Pink Open Market under the symbol “DNRCQ”. We can provide no assurance that we are current in its reporting obligations or that the trading volume of our common stock will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Overview. Our primary sources of capital and liquidity are our cash flow from operations and cash on hand, whichavailability under our Successor bank credit facility. In 2020 our liquidity has been supplemented by $40 million of proceeds from our March 2020 sale of working interests in four southeast Texas fields and periodically by $25 million of proceeds from sales of non-producing surface land with no active oil and natural gas operations.acreage primarily around the Houston area. Our most significant cash outlays relate to our development capital expenditures and current period operating expenses, andexpenses. In conjunction with our debt service obligations.

emergence from bankruptcy, we established a new $575 million senior secured bank credit facility, under which we had $85 million borrowed as of September 30, 2020, leaving us with $436.7 million of availability after consideration of $53.3 million of outstanding letters of credit. As discussed in the Overview above, NYMEX oil prices have decreased significantly since the beginning of 2020, decreasing from nearly $60 per barrel in early January to around $25 per barrel in mid-May (although considerably lower during the month of April 2020), before rebounding to nearly $40 per Bbl at the end of June 2020. This decrease in the market prices for our production directly reducesreducing our operating cash flow; however, we have taken significant actions to reduce capital expenditures and operating expenses in order to adjust our spending levels such that our spending for ongoing operations is below our cash flow generated from operations.

New Senior Secured Bank Credit Agreement. In connection with our emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings on September 18, 2020, we entered into a bank credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and indirectly impacts our other sources of potential liquidity, such as possibly lowering our borrowing capacity under ourlenders party thereto (the “Bank Credit Agreement”). The Bank Credit Agreement is a senior secured revolving credit facility as ourwith an initial borrowing capacitybase and borrowing costs are generally related to the estimated valuelender commitments of our proved reserves.

In this low oil price environment, we have taken various steps to preserve our liquidity including (1) by reducing our 2020 budgeted development capital spending by 44% from initial levels and to less than half of 2019 levels, (2) by deferring the Cedar Creek Anticline CO2 tertiary flood development project beyond 2020, (3) by continuing to focus on reducing our operating and overhead costs, (4) by restructuring certain of our three-way collars covering 14,500 Bbls/d into fixed-price swaps for the second through fourth quarters of 2020 to increase downside protection against current and potential further declines in oil prices, (5) by evaluating production economics and shutting in production beginning in late March that was uneconomic to produce or repair based on prevailing oil prices, and (6) by conducting a complete market-based review of strategic alternatives, including a comprehensive restructuring, to enhance our liquidity and strengthen our capital structure.

Chapter 11 Restructuring and Effect of Automatic Stay. On July 30, 2020, Denbury filed for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United State Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. The commencement of a voluntary proceeding in bankruptcy constituted an immediate event of default$575 million. Additionally, under the Bank Credit Agreement, the indentures governing the Company’s senior secured second lien notes, convertible senior notes,letters of credit are available in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100 million, and senior subordinated notes and the agreements governing our NEJD pipeline lease financing. In conjunction with the negotiation of the RSA, the Company didshort-term swingline loans are available in an aggregate amount not make the $7.8to exceed $25 million, interest payment due on our 6⅜% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 on June 30, 2020, and the $3.1 million interest payment due on our 4⅝% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2023 on July 15, 2020. Any efforts to enforce payment obligations related to the acceleration of the Company’s debt have been automatically stayed as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Restructuring, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement areeach subject to the applicable provisions ofavailable commitments under the Bankruptcy Code. Refer to Note 1, Bank Credit Agreement. AvailabilityBasis of PresentationEntry into Restructuring Support Agreement and Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information on the Chapter 11 Restructuring.

We expect to continue operations in the normal course for the duration of the Chapter 11 Restructuring. On July 31, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders approving certain customary “first day” relief to enable Denbury to operate in the ordinary course during the Chapter 11 Restructuring, including approval on an interim basis of post-petition financing under a DIP Facility and use of cash collateral of Denbury’s lenders and secured noteholders. Denbury is currently soliciting votes to accept the Plan from holders of claims and interests entitled to vote. On July 31, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders designed to assist

the Company in preserving certain of its tax attributes, including its net operating losses and tax credits, by establishing procedures and notice requirements prohibiting stockholders and potential stockholders with beneficial ownership or rights to acquire 4.5% or more of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock on June 30, 2020 from increasing or decreasing their ownership of the Company’s common stock without providing prior notice of the proposed transactions, which transfers then may require prior consent of the Bankruptcy Court. Any actions in violation of these procedures (including the notice requirements) are null and void ab initio and may be punished by contempt or other sanctions imposed by the Bankruptcy Court. For details of the procedures, see Exhibit 10(f) to this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated by reference herein. The final hearing on approval of the DIP Facility and use of cash collateral is currently scheduled for September 2, 2020.

Going Concern. As discussed above, the filing of the Chapter 11 Restructuring on July 30, 2020 constituted an event of default under all of our outstanding debt agreements, resulting in the automatic and immediate acceleration of the Company’s debt outstanding, with the exception of our capital leases and our obligations under our Free State pipeline transportation agreement. At that date, the Company did not have sufficient cash on hand or available liquidity to repay such debt.

Our operations and ability to develop and execute our business plan are subject to risk and uncertainty associated with the Chapter 11 Restructuring. The outcome of the Chapter 11 Restructuring is subject to factors that are outside of the Company’s control, including actions of the Bankruptcy Court and the Company’s creditors. There can be no assurance that we will confirm and consummate the Plan as contemplated by the RSA or complete another plan of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 Restructuring. As a result, we have concluded that management’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, and do not reflect any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

DIP Facility. Under the RSA, the lenders under the Company’s Bank Credit Agreement agreed to provide the Company and its subsidiaries with a senior secured super priority debtor-in-possession revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $615 million. The DIP Facility was approved on an interim basis by the Bankruptcy Court on July 31, 2020 and, on August 4, 2020, $185 million of our outstanding loans and all of our approximately $95 million of outstanding letters of credit under Denbury’s pre-petition revolving Bank Credit Agreement were “rolled up” into the DIP Facility. Immediately thereafter, Denbury initiated a repayment of $150 million of amounts borrowed under the DIP Facility with cash on hand. On August 7, 2020, the beneficiary of the $41.3 million letter of credit issued as “financial assurances” under the NEJD pipeline lease financing drew the full amount of such letter of credit in accordance with its terms as a result of the Chapter 11 Restructuring, which resulted in Denbury borrowing an identical amount under the DIP Facility. The Plan contemplates that, upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Restructuring, the DIP Facility be replaced with a committed exit facility. The proceeds of all or a portion of the DIP Facility may be used for, among other things, post-petition working capital, permitted investments, general corporate purposes, letters of credit, administrative costs and premiums, expenses and fees for the transactions contemplated by the Chapter 11 Restructuring, payment of court-approved adequate protection obligations, and other such purposes consistent with the DIP Facility.

Exit Financing. On July 28, 2020, prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Restructuring, the Company entered into an Exit Commitment Letter with the consenting lenders of the Company’s Bank Credit Agreement and/or their affiliates, which is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions, including the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. As part of the RSA, the consenting lenders of the Company’s Bank Credit Agreement and/or their affiliates have agreed to provide, on a committed basis, the Company with the Exit Facility on the terms set forth in the exit term sheet attached to the RSA (the “Exit Facility Term Sheet”). The Exit Facility Term Sheet provides for, among other things, post-emergence financing in the form of a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $615 million (the “Exit Facility”), subject to an initial borrowing base redetermination at the closing of the Exit Facility. Any loans drawn under the Exit Facility will be non-amortizing.

The effectiveness of the Exit Facility will be subject to customary closing conditions, including consummation of the Plan. The foregoing description of the Exit Facility Term Sheet does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the final, executed documents memorializing the Exit Facility, to be included in a supplement to the Plan to be filed with the Bankruptcy Court.

Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility. In December 2014, we entered into the Bank Credit Agreement, which has been amended periodically since that time. Under the terms of the RSA, the lenders under the Company’s Bank Credit Agreement agreed to provide the Company and its subsidiaries with the DIP Facility, which is to be replaced with the committed exit facility upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Restructuring. Refer to Note 1, Basis of PresentationEntry into Restructuring Support Agreement and Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, for additional information.

In conjunction with the scheduled May 2020 redetermination on June 26, 2020, we entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Bank Credit Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”) which among other things:

Reaffirmed the borrowing base under the Bank Credit Agreement at $615 million until theis subject to a borrowing base, which is redetermined semiannually on or around May 1 and November 1 of each year, with our next scheduled or interim redetermination or other adjustment to thearound May 1, 2021. The borrowing base is adjusted at the lenders’ discretion and is based, in accordancepart, upon external factors over which we have no control. The borrowing base is subject to a reduction by twenty-five percent (25%) of the principal amount of any unsecured or subordinated debt issued or incurred. The borrowing base may also be reduced if we sell borrowing base properties and/or cancel commodity derivative positions with an aggregate value in excess of 5% of the terms ofthen-effective borrowing base between redeterminations. If our outstanding debt under the Bank Credit Agreement;
Reduced (untilAgreement exceeds the fall 2020then-effective borrowing base, redetermination date)we would be required to repay the maximumexcess amount over a period not to exceed six months. The Bank Credit Agreement matures on January 30, 2024.

The Bank Credit Agreement prohibits us from paying dividends on our common stock through September 17, 2021. Commencing on September 18, 2021, we may pay dividends on our common stock or make other restricted payments in an amount not to exceed “Distributable Free Cash Flow”, but only if (1) no event of default or borrowing base deficiency exists; (2) our total leverage ratio is 2 to 1 or lower; and (3) availability under the Bank Credit Agreement to the sum of $275 million plus the total amount of outstanding letters of credit under theis at least 20%. The Bank Credit Agreement from time to time (not to exceed $100 million); and
Added dollaralso limits (until the fall 2020 borrowing base redetermination date) on our ability to, useamong other things, incur and repay other indebtedness; grant liens; engage in certain basketsmergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions; engage in the negative covenants governing dispositions, hedge terminations, investments,sales of assets; make acquisitions and investments; make other restricted payments (including redeeming, repurchasing or retiring our common stock); and redemptions of junior lien debt and unsecured debt.

On June 29, 2020, we electedenter into commodity derivative agreements, in each case subject to draw $200 million (the “Credit Draw”) under the Bank Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2020, we had $265.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our $275 million senior secured Bank Credit Agreement, leaving us with $10.0 million of available borrowing capacity, and $209.3 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand due to amounts drawn under the Bank Credit Agreement during the second quarter, compared to no outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020 with nominal cash at those dates. In addition, we had $94.7 million outstanding letters of credit at June 30, 2020.customary exceptions.

The Bank Credit Agreement containedis secured by (1) our proved oil and natural gas properties, which are held through our restricted subsidiaries; (2) the pledge of equity interests of such subsidiaries; (3) a pledge of our commodity derivative agreements; (4) a pledge of deposit accounts, securities accounts and commodity accounts of Denbury Inc. and such subsidiaries (as applicable); and (5) a security interest in substantially all other collateral that may be perfected by a Uniform Commercial Code filing, subject to certain exceptions.

The Bank Credit Agreement contains certain financial performance covenants, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020 through the maturity of the facility, including the following:

A Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDAX covenant, with such ratio not to exceed 5.25 to 1.0 through December 31, 2020 and 4.50 to 1.0 thereafter;
A consolidated senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDAX covenant, with such ratio not to exceed 2.5 to 1.0. Only debt under our Bank Credit Agreement is considered consolidated senior secured debt for purposes of this ratio;
A minimum permitted ratio of consolidated EBITDAX to consolidated interest charges of 1.25 to 1.0;3.5 times; and
A requirement to maintain a current ratio (i.e., Consolidated Current Assets to Consolidated Current Liabilities) of 1.0 to 1.0.times.

For purposes of computing the current ratio per the Bank Credit Agreement, Consolidated Current Assets exclude the current portion of derivative assets but include available borrowing capacity under the senior secured bank credit facility,that agreement, and Consolidated Current Liabilities exclude the current portion of derivative liabilities as well as the current portions of long-term indebtedness outstanding.

Under these financial performance covenant calculations, as of June 30, 2020, our ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDAX was 5.08 to 1.0 (with a maximum permitted ratio of 5.25 to 1.0), our consolidated senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDAX was 0.59 to 1.0 (with a maximum permitted ratio of 2.5 to 1.0), our ratio of consolidated EBITDAX to consolidated interest charges was 2.40 to 1.0 (with a required ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0), and our current ratio was 2.86 to 1.0 (with a required ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0).

The above description of our Bank Credit Agreement is qualified by the express language and defined terms contained in the Bank Credit Agreement, and the amendments thereto, each of which areis filed as exhibitsan exhibit to our periodic reportsForm 8-K Report filed with the SEC.

Capital Spending. We currently anticipate that our full-year 2020 capital spending, excluding capitalized interest and acquisitions, will be approximately $95 million to $105 million.million, approximately 78% of which has been incurred through 2020.  This 2020 capital expenditure amount of between $95 million to $105 million, which was revisedbudget reflects a reduction on March 31, 2020 excluding capitalized interest and acquisitions, is anof $80 million, or 44%, reduction from the late-February 2020 estimate of between $175 million and $185 million in response to the more than 50% decline in NYMEX WTI prices during March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which worsened an already deteriorated oil market that resulted from the early-March 2020 failure by the group of oil producing nations known as OPEC+ to reach an agreement over proposed oil production cuts. Oil prices are expected to continue to be volatile as a result of these events and the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, and as changes in oil inventories, oil demand and economic performance are reported. The2020. Our current 2020 capital budget, excluding capitalized interest and acquisitions, provides for approximate spending as follows:

$35 million allocated for tertiary oil field expenditures;
$25 million allocated for other areas, primarily non-tertiary oil field expenditures including exploitation;
$10 million to be spent on CO2 sources and pipelines; and
$30 million for other capital items such as capitalized internal acquisition, exploration and development costs and pre-production tertiary startup costs.

Commitments and Obligations. We have numerous contractual commitments in the ordinary course of business including debt service requirements, operating and finance leases, purchase obligations, and asset retirement obligations. Our operating leases primarily consists of our office leases. Our purchase obligations represent future cash commitments primarily for purchase contracts for CO2 captured from industrial sources, transportation agreements and well-related costs, but excludes any potential payments related to the APMTG litigation being appealed.

Our commitments and obligations consist of those detailed as of December 31, 2019, in our Form 10-K under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Capital Resources and Liquidity Commitments and Obligations. Material changes to our contractual commitments since December 31, 2019 detailed in this Form 10-Q report include changes to our senior secured bank credit agreement, the cancellation of the Predecessor senior secured second lien notes, convertible senior notes, and senior subordinated notes pursuant to the Plan, and a $41.3 million payment related to the NEJD pipeline lease financing during the third quarter of 2020. As part of the Chapter 11 Restructuring, we elected to terminate some of our operating leases, primarily related to office space, reducing our annual rent expense by approximately $9 million. In late October 2020, we reacquired the NEJD pipeline system and Free State Pipeline from Genesis, representing full settlement of all remaining pipeline financing obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. Our off-balance sheet arrangements include obligations for various development and exploratory expenditures that arise from our normal capital expenditure program or from other transactions common to our industry, none of which are recorded on our balance sheet.  In addition, in order to recover our undeveloped proved reserves, we must also fund the associated future development costs estimated in our proved reserve reports.

Our commitments and obligations consist of those detailed as of December 31, 2019, in our Form 10-K under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Capital Resources and Liquidity Commitments and Obligations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our tertiary operations represent a significant portion of our overall operations and are our primary long-term strategic focus. The economics of a tertiary field and the related impact on our financial statements differ from a conventional oil and gas play, and we have outlined certain of these differences in our Form 10-K and other public disclosures. Our focus on these types of operations impacts certain trends in both current and long-term operating results.

See also Commodity Derivative Contracts below and Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk for information concerning our derivative transactions.
(4)(3)Noncash fair value gains (losses) on commodity derivatives is a non-GAAP measure and is different from “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in that the noncash fair value gains (losses) on commodity derivatives represent only the net changes between periods of the fair market values of commodity derivative positions, and exclude the impact of settlements on commodity derivatives during the period, which were receipts on settlements of $45.6$17.8 million and $70.3$88.1 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, respectively, compared to paymentsreceipts on settlements of $1.5$8.1 million and $14.7 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and receipts on settlements of $6.7 million for the six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019. We believe that noncash fair value gains (losses) on commodity derivatives is a useful supplemental disclosure to “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” in order to differentiate noncash fair market value adjustments from receipts or payments upon settlements on commodity derivatives during the period. This supplemental disclosure is widely used within the industry and by securities analysts, banks and credit rating agencies in calculating EBITDA and in adjusting net income (loss) to present those measures on a comparative basis across companies, as well as to assess compliance with certain debt covenants. Noncash fair value gains (losses) on commodity derivatives is not a measure of financial or operating performance under GAAP, nor should it be considered in isolation or as a substitute for “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

related to the Gulf Coast Working Interests Sale completed in early March 2020 and Citronelle Fieldproduction, which is adjusted for production from assets sold in July 2019. This total continuing production level represents a decrease of 4,995 BOE/d (9%) compared to total continuing production levels in the first quarter of 2020. Production during the second and third quarters of 2020 and a decrease of 8,104was impacted by approximately 4,300 BOE/d (14%) compared to second quarterand 1,700 BOE/d, respectively, of 2019 continuing production primarily due to productionthat was shut-in due to wells that were at that time uneconomic to produce or repair duringrepair. In addition to shut-in production, the quarter. We estimateyear-over-year production decline was primarily due to production declines at Delhi Field due to the impact to second quarterlack of CO2 purchases since late-February 2020 production from the shut-in wells was approximately 4,300 BOE/d.

Asas a result of the significant decline in oil prices, we focused our efforts beginning late in the first quarterDelta-Tinsley CO2 pipeline being down for repair, reduced levels of workovers and capital investment due to optimize cash flow through evaluating production economics and began shutting in production beginning in late March 2020. Throughout the second quarter of 2020, we continued evaluations around expectedlower oil prices and production costs and began to restore some of these wellshigher than normal declines resulting from such. Although we returned to production during May 2020 as oil prices trended higher. As such, as of quarter-end, we estimate that approximately 1,7002,600 BOE/d of shut-in production remained shut-in asbetween the second and third quarters of June 30, 2020, attributablesequential quarterly production declined slightly for various reasons, including the following: continued production declines at Delhi Field due to uneconomic wells. We planthe lack of CO2 purchases, the impact of downtime from hurricanes impacting the Gulf Coast, typical seasonal impacts on CO2 density due to continue this routine evaluationhigher temperatures, and a higher portion of production allocated to assess levels of uneconomic production based onthe net profits interest at our expectations for wellhead oil pricesCedar Creek Anticline Fields relative to the second quarter. In late October 2020, repairs to the Delta-Tinsley pipeline were completed and variable production costs and will actively make decisionsthe pipeline was brought back into service, allowing CO2 purchases to either shut-in additional production or bring production back online as conditions warrant. Production could be further curtailed by future regulatory actions or limitations in storage and/or takeaway capacity.resume at Delhi Field.

Our production during the three and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 was 97% oil, consistent withslightly lower than our 98% oil production during the same prior-year period; whereas, production during the sixthree months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 was 98% oil, slightly higher than our 97%2019 and consistent with oil production during the prior-year period.

Prices received in a regional market fluctuate frequently and can differ from NYMEX pricing due to a variety of reasons, including supply and/or demand factors, crude oil quality, and location differentials.

Gulf Coast Region. Our average NYMEX oil differential in the Gulf Coast region was a negative $3.59$1.38 per Bbl during the secondthird quarter of 2020, compared to a positive $4.85$3.11 per Bbl during the secondthird quarter of 2019 and a positive $1.18negative $3.59 per Bbl during the firstsecond quarter of 2020. Generally, our Gulf Coast region differentials are positive to NYMEX and highly correlated to the changes in prices of Light Louisiana Sweet crude oil, though storage constraints and weak demand caused these differentials to weaken significantly during the second quarterand third quarters of 2020.

Rocky Mountain Region. NYMEX oil differentials in the Rocky Mountain region averaged $4.68$2.03 per Bbl and $1.48$1.65 per Bbl below NYMEX during the secondthird quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $2.78$4.68 per Bbl below NYMEX during the firstsecond quarter of 2020. Differentials in the Rocky Mountain region can fluctuate significantly on a month-to-month basis due to weather, refinery or transportation issues, and Canadian and U.S. crude oil price index volatility.

Our realized oil prices and differentials during three and six months ended June 30, 2020 reflecthave been significantly impacted by the rapid and precipitous drop in oil demand for oil caused by the slowdown in economic activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic, whichpandemic. This drop in turn has caused oil prices to plummet since the first week of March 2020. These events havedemand worsened a deteriorated oil market which followed the early-March 2020 failure by the group of oil producing nations known as OPEC+ to reach an agreement over proposed oil production cuts. Moreover,Although OPEC+ subsequently agreed to reduced levels of production output, concerns about the ability of OPEC+ to maintain compliance with their reduced production targets and uncertainty about the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting economic consequences has caused storage constraints resulting from over-supplyresulted in abnormally high worldwide inventories of produced oil. While oil prices have improved from the low points experienced during the second quarter of 2020, concerns and reduced refinery run rates, with these uncertainties around the balance of supply and demand for oil are expected to continue to significantly decrease our realized oil prices in the third quarter of 2020 and potentially longer.for some time. While our oil differentials have improved since Maythe second quarter of 2020, oil prices are expected to continue to be volatile as a result of these events, and as changes in oil inventories, oil demand and economic performance are reported.

In order to provide a level of price protection to a portion of our oil production, we have hedged a portion of our estimated oil production through 2020 using both NYMEX and LLS fixed-price swaps and three-way collars.collars and oil production in 2021 and the first half of 2022 using NYMEX fixed-price swaps. See Note 7,10, Commodity Derivative Contracts, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details of our outstanding commodity derivative contracts as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, and Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk below for additional discussion.

(1)Averages are volume weighted.
(2)If oil prices were to average less than the sold put price, receipts on settlement would be limited to the difference between the floor price and the sold put price.

On July 31, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an interim order authorizing us to maintain our pre-petition hedge contracts and enter into new hedges in the ordinary course of business.

Based on current contracts in place and NYMEX oil futures prices as of August 7,November 12, 2020, which averaged approximately $42$40 per Bbl, we currently expect that we would receive cash payments of approximately $35$20 million upon settlement of our JulyOctober through December 2020 contracts. Of this estimated amount, the majority relates to our three-way collars, which settlements are

currently limited to the extent oil prices remain below the price of our sold puts. The weighted average differences between the floor and sold put prices of our 2020 three-way collars are $9.07 per Bbl and $8.83 per Bbl for NYMEX and LLS hedges, respectively. Settlements with respect to our fixed-price swaps are dependent upon fluctuations in future oil prices in relation to the prices of our 2020 fixed-price swaps which have weighted average prices of $40.52 per Bbl and $51.67 per Bbl for NYMEX and LLS hedges, respectively. Changes in commodity prices, expiration of contracts, and new commodity contracts entered into cause fluctuations in the estimated fair value of our oil derivative contracts. Because we do not utilize hedge accounting for our commodity derivative contracts, the period-to-period changes in the fair value of these contracts, as outlined above, are recognized in our statements of operations.

Total lease operating expenses were $261.8 million, or $18.39 per BOE, for the combined Predecessor and Successor periods included within the nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $361.2 million, or $22.64 per BOE, during the same prior-year periods.nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decreases on an absolute-dollar basis and per-BOE basis were primarily due to lower expenses across all expense categories, with the largest decreases in workover expense, labor, and power and fuel costs, as well as insurance reimbursements totaling $15.4 million recorded for previously-incurred well control costs, cleanup costs, and CO2 purchase expense.damages associated with a 2013 incident at Delhi Field. In response to the significant decline in oil prices in March 2020, we reduced our capital budget and implemented cost reduction measures which included shutting down compressors orand delaying well repairs and workovers that were uneconomic. Compared to the firstsecond quarter of 2020, lease operating expenses decreased $28.0$10.1 million (26%) on an absolute-dollar basis or $3.66 (17%)and $2.23 on a per-BOE basis, due to lowerthe insurance reimbursement mentioned above, partially offset by higher workover expense as we resumed some repairs and power and fuel costs resulting from the measures previously discussedmaintenance activity.

Currently, our CO2 expense comprises approximately 20% to 25% of our typical tertiary lease operating expenses, and consists of CO2 production expenses for the CO2 reserves we already own, consists of CO2 production expenses, and for the CO2 reserves we do not own, consists of our purchase of CO2 from royalty and working interest owners and industrial sources.sources for the CO2 reserves we do not own. During the secondthird quarters of 2020 and 2019, approximately 46% and 56%55%, respectively, of the CO2 utilized in our CO2 floods consisted of CO2 owned and produced by us (our net revenue interest). The price we pay others for CO2 varies by source and is generally indexed to oil prices. When combining the production cost of the CO2 we own with what we pay third parties for CO2, our average cost of CO2 was approximately $0.39$0.37 per Mcf during the secondthird quarter of 2020, including taxes paid on CO2 production but excluding depletion, depreciation and amortization of capital expended at our CO2 source fields and industrial sources. This per-Mcf CO2 cost during the secondthird quarter of 2020 was higher than the $0.33 per Mcf comparable measure duringconsistent with the secondthird quarter of 2019 and $0.36lower than the $0.39 per Mcf comparable measure during the firstsecond quarter of 2020 due to a higherlower utilization in our Gulf Coast operations of industrial-sourced CO2 in our Gulf Coast operations,, which has a higher average cost than our naturally-occurring CO2 source.

Transportation and Marketing Expenses

Transportation and marketing expenses primarily consist of amounts incurred relating to the transportation, marketing, and processing of oil and natural gas production. Transportation and marketing expenses were $9.4$9.5 million for the combined Predecessor

Our net G&A expenses on an absolute-dollar basis increased $6.3were $16.7 million (36%) duringfor the combined Predecessor and Successor periods included within the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, a decrease of $1.5 million (8%) from the three months ended September 30, 2019, and net G&A expenses on an absolute-dollar basis were $50.3 million for the combined Predecessor and Successor periods included within the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $4.4 million (8%) from the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decreases in net G&A expenses during 2020 compared to the same period inthree and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, were primarily due to $2.4 million in severance-relatedlower overall employee compensation and related costs during the second quarter of 2020 and an incremental $6.3 million in performance and bonus-related compensation expense compareddue to the prior-year period due primarily to the modifications to our compensation program as discussed in Note 6, Stock Compensation, to the condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition to these increases,reduced employee headcount, partially offset by lower G&A recoveries related to operator labor and overhead, and capitalized exploration and development costs which increased net G&A expense by approximately $8.0 million as a result of reductions in the number of employees, shut-in production and fewer producing wells in the current period; however, these costsperiods. On the Emergence Date, the Predecessor’s unvested shares were offsetcancelled, resulting in part by lower overall employeethe acceleration of stock compensation expense during the Predecessor period of $4.6 million; thereby, no stock-based compensation expense will be recognized in the Successor period until additional shares are granted. Also on the Emergence Date and related costs due to reduced employee headcount. On a per-BOE basis, net G&A expense increased nearly $2 (62%) duepursuant to the impactterms of higher expensethe Plan and lower production, due in partthe Confirmation Order, we adopted a framework for a management incentive plan which will reserve primarily for employees and directors a pool of shares of new common stock representing up to approximately 4,300 BOE/d that was shut-in during10% of Denbury common stock, determined on a fully diluted and fully distributed basis, with initial awards from this pool scheduled to be issued within 60 days of emergence.

Compared to the second quarter of 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, our net G&A expenses on an absolute-dollar basis decreased $2.9 million (8%), but increased $0.09 (3%) on a per-BOE basis, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to reduced employee headcount resulting from our December 2019 voluntary separation program and our May 2020 involuntary workforce reduction, with the per-BOE change impacted by declines in production between 2019 and 2020.

On a sequential-quarter basis, net G&A expenses increased $14.0$7.0 million primarily due to an increase inthe second quarter of 2020 including additional compensation-related expenses. This increase was primarily dueexpenses related to modifications in our compensation program during the second quarter which resulted in adjustments to theadditional bonus program for 2020 as compared to no accrual for bonuses in the first quarter of 2020accruals (see further discussion in Note 6,9, Stock Compensation, to the condensed consolidated financial statements)Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Our well operating agreements allow us, when we are the operator, to charge a well with a specified overhead rate during the drilling phase and also to charge a monthly fixed overhead rate for each producing well.  In addition, salaries associated with field personnel are initially recorded as gross cash compensation and administrative costs and subsequently reclassified to lease operating expenses or capitalized to field development costs to the extent those individuals are dedicated to oil and gas production, exploration, and development activities.

As reflected inCash interest was $18.1 million for the table above, cash interest expensecombined Predecessor and Successor periods included within the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $48.3 million during the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019. Cash interest was $109.2 million for the combined Predecessor and Successor periods included within the nine months ended September 30, 2020, decreased $3.1 million (6%) and $5.2 million (5%), respectively, when compared to the prior-year periods due primarily to a decrease in our average debt principal outstanding as a result of the June 2019 debt exchange transactions and debt repurchases completed in the second half of 2019 and first quarter of 2020. Meanwhile, net interest expense was relatively unchanged and increased $2.7 million (7%) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the prior-year periods due to the amortization of the debt discounts related to our 7¾% Senior Secured Notes and 2024 Convertible Senior Notes.

Future interest payable related to our 2021 Senior Secured Notes and 2022 Senior Secured Notes is accounted for in accordance with FASC 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructuring by Debtors, whereby most of the future interest was recorded as debt as of the transaction date, which will be reduced as semiannual interest payments are made. Future interest payable recorded as debt totaled $119.5 million as of June 30, 2020.

The June 2019 debt exchange transactions were accounted for in accordance with FASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, whereby our 7¾% Senior Secured Notes and 2024 Convertible Senior Notes were recorded on our balance sheet at discounts to their principal amounts of $29.6 million and $79.9 million, respectively.

In conjunction with the negotiation of the RSA, the Company did not make the $7.8 million interest payment due on our 2024 Convertible Senior Notes on June 30, 2020, and the $3.1 million interest payment due on our 4⅝% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2023 on July 15, 2020. However, as part of the RSA signed on July 28, 2020 by holders of our second lien notes, the Company paid them a total of $8.0 million in accrued and unpaid interest on the second lien notes.

to $144.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decreases between periods were primarily due to a decrease in the average debt principal outstanding, with the Successor period reflecting the full extinguishment of all outstanding obligations under the senior secured second lien notes, convertible senior notes, and senior subordinated notes on the Emergence Date, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, relieving approximately $2.1 billion of debt by issuing equity and/or warrants in the Successor to the holders of that debt. As a result, only interest expense associated with the Predecessor’s pipeline financings, capital leases and Senior Secured Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement were recognized in interest expense during August and September 2020.

DD&A expense was $41.6 million for the combined Predecessor and Successor periods included within the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $55.1 million during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, when compared to2019, with the same period in 2019, wasdecrease primarily due to a decrease in oil and natural gas properties depletion due to lower depletable costs, as well as lower CO2 depletionproperties, pipelines, plants and other property and equipment DD&A as a result of lower CO2 volumes from our CO2 sources. The increase in our DD&A expense was $193.9 million for the combined Predecessor and Successor periods included within the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $170.6 million during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, when compared to2019, with the same period in 2019, wasincrease primarily due to an accelerated depreciation charge of $37.4 million related to assets associated with impaired unevaluated properties that were transferred to the full cost pool during the first quarter of 2020.2020, partially offset by a decrease in oil and natural gas properties depletion due to lower depletable costs, as well as lower CO2 properties, pipelines, plants and other property and equipment DD&A as a result of lower CO2 volumes from our CO2 sources.

Full Cost Pool Ceiling Test

Under full cost accounting rules, we are required each quarter to perform a ceiling test calculation. Under these rules, the full cost ceiling value is calculated using the average first-day-of-the-month oil and natural gas price for each month during a 12-month rolling period prior to the end of a particular reporting period. The first-day-of-the-month oil prices for the preceding 12 months, after adjustments for market differentials by field, averaged $44.74$40.08 per Bbl and $55.17as of September 18, 2020, $44.74 per Bbl as of June 30, 2020 and $55.17 per Bbl as of March 31, 2020, respectively.2020. In addition, the first-day-of-the-month natural gas prices for the preceding 12 months, after adjustments for market differentials by field, averaged $1.91$1.72 per MMBtu and $1.68as of September 18, 2020, $1.91 per MMBtu as of June 30, 2020 and $1.68 per MMBtu as of March 31, 2020, respectively.2020. While representative oil prices at March 31, 2020 were roughly consistent with adjusted prices used to calculate the December 31, 2019 full cost ceiling value, the decline in NYMEX oil prices in late March 2020 due to OPEC supply pressures and a reduction in worldwide oil demand amid the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to the impairment and transfer of $244.9 million of our unevaluated costs to the full cost amortization base during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Primarily as a result of adding these additional costs to the amortization base, we recognized a full cost pool ceiling test write-down of $72.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. In addition, as a result of the precipitous decline in NYMEX oil prices, during the second quarter of 2020, we recognized an additional full cost pool ceiling test write-downwrite-downs of $662.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. If oil prices remain at or near early-August 2020 levels in subsequent periods, we currently expect that we would also record write-downs in subsequent quarters inand $261.7 million during the period from July 1, 2020 as the 12-month average price used in determining the full cost ceiling value will continue to decline during each rolling quarterly period in 2020, subject to the date of the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy and potential impacts ofthrough September 18, 2020.

Based upon fresh start accounting, if applicable. The possibility and amount of any future write-down or impairment is difficult to predict, and will depend, in part, upon oil and natural gas prices,properties were recorded at fair value as of September 18, 2020. See Note 2, Fresh Start Accounting, to the incremental proved reserves that may be added eachUnaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. There was no full cost pool ceiling test write-down for the period revisions to previous reserve estimates and future capital expenditures and operating costs.

Impairment Assessment of Long-lived Assets

We test long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. These long-lived assets, which are not subject to our full cost pool ceiling test, are principally comprised of our capitalized CO2 properties and pipelines. Given the significant recent declines in NYMEX oil prices to approximately $20 per Bbl in late March 2020 due to OPEC supply pressures and a reduction in worldwide oil demand amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we performed a long-lived asset impairment test for our two long-lived asset groups (Gulf Coast region and Rocky Mountain region) as of March 31, 2020.

We perform our long-lived asset impairment test by comparing the net carrying costs of our two long-lived asset groups to the respective expected future undiscounted net cash flows that are supported by these long-lived assets which include production of our probable and possible oil and natural gas reserves. The portion of our capitalized CO2 costs related to CO2 reserves and CO2 pipelines that we estimate will be consumed in the process of producing our proved oil and natural gas reserves is included in the full cost pool ceiling test as a reduction to future net revenues.  The remaining net capitalized costs that are not included in the full cost pool ceiling test, and related intangible assets, are subject to long-lived asset impairment testing. These costs totaled approximately $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2020. If the undiscounted net cash flows are below the net carrying costs for an asset group, we must record an impairment loss by the amount, if any, that net carrying costs exceed the fair value of the long-lived asset group. The undiscounted net cash flows for our asset groups exceeded the net carrying costs; thus, step two of the impairment test was not required and no impairment was recorded.

Significant assumptions impacting expected future undiscounted net cash flows include projections of future oil and natural gas prices (management’s assumption of 2020 oil prices at strip pricing, gradually increasing to a long-term oil price of $65 per

Bbl beginning in 2026, and gas futures pricing were used for the March 31, 2020 analysis), projections of estimated quantities of oil and natural gas reserves, projections of future rates of production, timing and amount of future development and operating costs, projected availability and cost of CO2, projected recovery factors of tertiary reserves and risk-adjustment factors applied to the cash flows. We performed a qualitative assessment as of June 30, 2020 and September 18, 2020 and determined there were no material changes to our key cash flow assumptions and no triggering events since the analysis performed as of March 31, 2020; therefore, no impairment test was performed for the second quarter of 2020 or for the period ending September 18, 2020.

We evaluate our estimated annual effective income tax rate based on current and forecasted business results and enacted tax laws on a quarterly basis and apply this tax rate to our ordinary income or loss to calculate our estimated tax liability or benefit. Our income taxes are based on an estimated statutory rate of approximately 25% in 2020 and 2019. As provided for under FASC 740-270-35-2, we determined the actual effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30,Predecessor period from January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020 was the best estimate of our annual effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020Predecessor period was lower than our estimated statutory rate, primarily due to the establishment of a full valuation allowance on our federal and state deferred tax assets after the application of fresh start accounting.

We have evaluated the impact of the Plan of Reorganization, including the change in control, resulting from our emergence from bankruptcy. The cancellation of debt income (“CODI”) realized upon emergence is excludable from income but results in a reduction or elimination of available net operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards and tax basis in assets, in accordance with the attribute reduction and ordering rules of Section 108 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). The reduction in the Company’s tax attributes for excludable CODI does not occur until the last day of the Company’s tax year, December 31, 2020. Accordingly, the tax adjustments recorded in the Predecessor period represent our best estimate using all available information at September 30, 2020. Thus, the Company expects to fully reduce its federal net operating loss carryforwards, enhanced oil recovery andcredits, research and development tax credits, that currently are not expectedand a partial reduction of tax basis in assets. The final tax impacts of the bankruptcy emergence, as well as the Plan of Reorganization’s overall effect on the Company’s tax attributes will be refined based on the Company’s final financial position at December 31, 2020 as required under the Code. The Company is exploring an election under the ordering rules of the Code to be utilized.first reduce tax basis in assets, followed by net operating losses and tax credits. The final tax impact on the Company’s tax attributes could change from the current estimates.

As the tax basis of our assets, primarily our oil and gas properties, is in excess of the carrying value, as adjusted in fresh start accounting, the Successor is in a net deferred tax asset position. We evaluated our deferred tax assets in light of all available evidence as of the balance sheet date, including our cumulative loss position in considerationthe tax impacts of recorded book full cost pool ceiling test write-downs and accelerated depreciation charge,the Chapter 11 Restructuring and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief,full reduction of net operating losses and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) provisions. Based on our evaluation using all available evidence and in consideration of the weight of existing negative evidence, we concluded that a full valuation allowance of $85.0 million on our $63.4 million of enhanced oil recoverytax credits and $21.6 millionpartial reduction of research and development credits was required, as we believe the tax benefit of the tax credits are more-likely-than-not to not be realized. This is an increasebasis in the valuation allowance of $74.0 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 over the $11.0 million valuation allowance established in the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The CARES Act signed into law in March 2020, among other provisions, modified the rules regarding the deductibility of business interest expense that were established by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of December 2017, increasing the limitation threshold from 30% to 50% of Adjusted Taxable Income (as defined) for 2019 and 2020. In addition, for the 2020 year, a taxpayer may elect to use its 2019 Adjusted Taxable Income in lieu of its 2020 Adjusted Taxable Income. Due to these modifications, we now expect to fully deductassets (collectively “tax attributes”). Given our business interest expense in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and fully released our previously recorded valuation allowance of $24.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The current income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2020, represents amounts estimated to be receivable resulting from alternative minimum tax credits. Alternative minimum tax credits of $10.5 million are currently recorded as a receivable on the balance sheet.

loss position and the continued low oil price environment, we recorded a total valuation allowance of $129.4 million on our underlying deferred tax assets, consisting of $43.8 million on our federal deferred tax assets and $85.6 million on our state deferred tax assets as of September 18, 2020. Valuation allowances totaling $68.6 million and $13.5 million were recorded for our State of Louisiana and State of Mississippi deferred tax assets, respectively. A $3.8 million state deferred tax liability is recorded on the Successor balance sheet. For the Successor period, we continue to offset our deferred tax assets with a valuation allowance. Thus, the income tax expense associated with the Successor’s pre-tax book income was offset by a change in valuation allowance. As of September 30, 2020, we had no federal net operating loss carryforwards and state net operating loss carryforwards of $52.3 million, all of which were fully offset with the valuation allowance.

The current income tax benefits for the Predecessor period ended September 18, 2020 and for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 represent amounts estimated to be receivable resulting from alternative minimum tax credits and certain state tax obligations. We received our 2019 federal income tax refund of $9.5 million in late September 2020.

Debt and Interest Rate Sensitivity

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we had $2.1 billion of fixed-rate debt outstanding and $265.0$85.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our Bank Credit Agreement. At this level of variable-rate debt, an increase or decrease of 10% in interest rates would have an immaterial effect on our interest expense.

Commodity Derivative Contracts

We enter into oil derivative contracts to provide an economic hedge of our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil production and to provide more certainty to our future cash flows.  We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.  Generally, these contracts have consisted of various combinations of price floors, collars, three-way collars, fixed-price swaps, fixed-price swaps enhanced with a sold put, and basis swaps.  The production that we hedge has varied from year to year depending on our levels of debt, financial strength, and expectation of future commodity prices.  In order to provide a level of price protection to a portion of our oil production, we have hedged a portion of our estimated oil production through 2020 using both NYMEX and LLS fixed-price swaps and three-way collars.collars and oil production in 2021 and the first half of 2022 using NYMEX fixed-price swaps. Depending on market conditions, we may continue to add to our existing 20202021 and 2022 hedges. See also Note 7,10, Commodity Derivative Contracts, and Note 811, Fair Value Measurements, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our commodity derivative contracts. Under the terms of our Successor senior secured bank credit facility, at any point in time within the initial measurement period of August 1, 2020 through July 31, 2021, we are required to have hedges in place covering a minimum of 65% of our anticipated crude oil production for the first twelve calendar months and 35% of our anticipated crude oil production for the second twelve month period. We have until December 31, 2020 to enter into transactions for the initial measurement period to be in compliance.

All of the mark-to-market valuations used for our commodity derivatives are provided by external sources.  We manage and control market and counterparty credit risk through established internal control procedures that are reviewed on an ongoing basis.  We attempt to minimize credit risk exposure to counterparties through formal credit policies, monitoring procedures and diversification.  All of our commodity derivative contracts are with parties that are lenders under our senior secured bank credit facility (or affiliates of such lenders).  We have included an estimate of nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement of our commodity derivative contracts, which we have measured for nonperformance risk based upon credit default swaps or credit spreads.

For accounting purposes, we do not apply hedge accounting treatment to our commodity derivative contracts.  This means that any changes in the fair value of these commodity derivative contracts will be charged to earnings instead of charging the effective portion to other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion to earnings.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, our commodity derivative contracts were recorded at their fair value, which was a net asset of $40.0$21.6 million, an $85.7$18.4 million decrease from the $125.7$40.0 million net asset recorded at March 31,June 30, 2020, and a $36.4an $18.0 million increase from the $3.6 million net asset recorded at December 31, 2019.  These changes are primarily related to the expiration or early termination of commodity derivative contracts during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, new commodity derivative contracts entered into during 2020 for future periods, and to the changes in oil futures prices between December 31, 2019 and JuneSeptember 30, 2020.

Commodity Derivative Sensitivity Analysis

Based on NYMEX and LLS crude oil futures prices as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, and assuming both a 10% increase and decrease thereon, we would expect to receive payments on our crude oil derivative contracts outstanding at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 as shown in the following table:
 Receipt / (Payment) Receipt / (Payment)
In thousands Crude Oil Derivative Contracts Crude Oil Derivative Contracts
Based on:    
Futures prices as of June 30, 2020 $41,226
Futures prices as of September 30, 2020 $21,842
10% increase in prices 25,750
 (3,200)
10% decrease in prices 56,695
 46,886

Our commodity derivative contracts are used as an economic hedge of our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future production.  As a result, changes in receipts or payments of our commodity derivative contracts due to changes in commodity prices as reflected in the above table would be mostly offset by a corresponding increase or decrease in the cash receipts on sales of our oil production to which those commodity derivative contracts relate.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, that it is processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that information that is required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we have determined that, during the secondthird quarter of fiscal 2020, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting 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

The information under Note 9,12, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the risks identified below, carefully consider the risk factors under the caption “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, together with all of the other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We are subject to the risksrecently emerged from bankruptcy, which could adversely affect our business and uncertainties associated with proceedings under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.relationships.

On July 30, 2020, DenburyIt is possible that our having filed for bankruptcy and all ofour recent emergence from the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries filed petitions for voluntary relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On July 28, 2020, Denbury entered into the RSA with 100% of our revolving credit facility lenders and holders of 67.1% of our senior second lien notes and 73.1% of our convertible notes to support a restructuring in accordance with the terms set forth in our Plan. For the duration of our Chapter 11 Restructuring, our operations and our ability to develop and executebankruptcy proceedings could adversely affect our business plan, as well as our continuation as a going concern thereafter, are subjectand relationships with customers, employees and suppliers. Due to uncertainties, many risks and uncertainties associated with bankruptcy,exist, including the following:

key suppliers could terminate their relationship or require financial assurances or enhanced performance;
the ability to renew existing contracts and compete for new business may be adversely affected;
the ability to attract, motivate and/or retain key executives and employees may be adversely affected;
employees may be distracted from performance of their duties or more easily attracted to other employment opportunities; and
competitors may take business away from us, and our ability to execute, confirmattract and consummate the Plan as contemplated by the RSA with respect to the Chapter 11 Restructuring;
the sufficiency and restrictions of DIP financing we have obtained to allow us to emerge from bankruptcy and execute our business plan post-emergence;
our ability to maintain our relationships with our suppliers, service providers, employees and other third parties;
our ability to maintain other contracts that are critical to our operations;
our ability to execute our business plan in the current depressed commodity price environment;
our ability to retain key employees;
the impact of third parties seeking to obtain court approval to terminate contracts and other agreements with us;
whether third parties seek to obtain court approval to convert the Chapter 11 Restructuring to a chapter 7 proceeding; and
the actions and decisions of our creditors and other third parties who have interests in our Chapter 11 Restructuring thatcustomers may be inconsistent with our plans.

Delays in our Chapter 11 Restructuring increase our costs associated with the bankruptcy process along with the risks of our being unable to reorganize our business and emerge from bankruptcy.

These risks and uncertainties could affect our business and operations in various ways. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, we need the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court for transactions outside the ordinary course of business, which may limit our ability to respond timely to certain events or take advantage of certain opportunities. We also need Bankruptcy Court confirmation of the Plan as contemplated by the RSA. We cannot accurately predict or quantify the ultimate impact that events that occur during our Chapter 11 Restructuring will have on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Even if the Plan is consummated, we will continue to face a number of risks, principally the degree to which oil prices remain at low levels, and if so, for what length of time, which is likely to depend on the extent and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, plus our ability to reduce expenses, implement any strategic initiatives and generally maintain favorable relationships with and secure the confidence of our counterparties. Accordingly, we cannot give any assurance that the proposed financial restructuring will allow us to continue as a going concern.

If the RSA is terminated, our ability to confirm and consummate the Plan could be materially and adversely affected.negatively impacted.

The RSA contains a number of termination events, upon the occurrence of which certain partiesone or more of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations, financial condition and reputation. We cannot assure you that having been subject to the RSA may terminate the agreement. If the RSA is terminated as to all parties thereto, each of the parties theretobankruptcy protection will be released from its obligations in accordance with the terms of the RSA. Such termination may result in the loss of support for the Plan by the parties to the RSA, which couldnot adversely affect our operations in the future.

Our actual financial results after emergence from bankruptcy may not be comparable to our historical financial information as a result of the implementation of the plan of reorganization and the transactions contemplated thereby and our adoption of fresh start accounting.

In connection with the disclosure statement we filed with the bankruptcy court, and the hearing to consider confirmation of the plan of reorganization, we prepared projected financial information to demonstrate to the bankruptcy court the feasibility of the plan of reorganization and our ability to confirmcontinue operations upon our emergence from bankruptcy. Those projections were prepared solely for the purpose of the bankruptcy proceedings and consummatehave not been, and will not be, updated on an ongoing basis and should not be relied upon by investors. At the Plan. Iftime they were prepared, the Planprojections reflected numerous assumptions concerning our anticipated future performance and with respect to prevailing and anticipated market and economic conditions that were and remain beyond our control and that may not materialize. Projections are inherently subject to substantial and numerous uncertainties and to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and the assumptions underlying the projections and/or valuation estimates may prove to be wrong in material respects. Actual results will likely vary significantly from those contemplated by the projections. As a result, investors should not rely on these projections.

In addition, upon our emergence from bankruptcy, we adopted fresh start accounting. Accordingly, certain values and operational results of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to September 18, 2020 are not comparable to those in its condensed consolidated financial statements prior to, and including September 18, 2020. The lack of comparable historical financial information may discourage investors from purchasing our common stock.

There is not consummated, there cana limited trading market for our securities and the market price of our securities is subject to volatility.

Upon our emergence from bankruptcy, our old common stock was canceled and we issued new common stock. The market price of our common stock could be nosubject to wide fluctuations in response to, and the level of trading that develops with our common stock may be affected by, numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, among other things, our new capital structure as a result of the transactions contemplated by the plan of reorganization, our limited trading

assurance that the Chapter 11 Restructuring would not be convertedhistory subsequent to chapter 7 liquidation cases or that any new plan would be as favorable to holders of claims against the Company as contemplated by the RSA.

We may not be able to obtain confirmation of the Plan or may have to modify the terms of the Plan.

To emerge successfully from Bankruptcy Court protection as a viable entity, we must meet certain statutory requirements with respect to adequacy of disclosure with respect to a chapter 11 plan of reorganization, solicit and obtain the requisite acceptances of such a reorganization plan and fulfill other statutory conditions for confirmation of such a plan.  However, even if the Plan contemplated by the RSA meets other requirements under the Bankruptcy Code, certain parties in interest may file objections to the plan in an effort to persuade the Bankruptcy Court that we have not satisfied the confirmation requirements under section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Even if no objections are filed and the requisite acceptances of our Plan are received from creditors entitled to vote on the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court, which can exercise substantial discretion, may not confirm the Plan.

Further, changed circumstances may necessitate changes to the Plan. Any such modifications could result in less favorable treatment than the treatment currently anticipated to be included in the Plan based upon the agreed terms of the RSA. Such less favorable treatment could include a distribution of property of a lesser value than currently anticipated to be distributed to the class affected by the modification, or no distribution of property whatsoever. Changes to the Plan may also delay the confirmation of the Plan and our emergence from bankruptcy.

The precise requirements and evidentiary showing for confirming a plan, notwithstanding its rejection by one or more impaired classesbankruptcy, our limited trading volume, the concentration of claims or equity interests, depends upon a number of factors, including the status and seniority of claims by various creditors or holders or equity interests in the rejecting class (i.e., secured claims or unsecured claims, subordinated or senior claims). If the Plan is not confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, it is unclear whether we would be able to reorganize our business and what, if anything, holders of claims against us would ultimately receive with respect to their claims.

The Plan may not become effective.

The Plan may not become effective because it is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent (some of which are beyond our control). There can be no assurance that such conditions will be satisfied or waived and, therefore, that the Plan will become effective and that we will emerge from the Chapter 11 Restructuring as contemplated by the Plan. If the effective date of the Plan is delayed, we may not have sufficient cash available to operate our business. In that case, we may need new or additional post-petition financing, which may increase the cost of consummating the Plan. There is no assurance of the terms on which such financing may be available or if such financing will be available at all. If the transactions contemplated by the Plan are not completed, it may become necessary to amend the Plan, with accompanying expenses and material delays.

We have substantial liquidity needs and may not have sufficient liquidity for the time necessary to confirm a plan of reorganization.

We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant costs in connection with the Chapter 11 Restructuring.  With the Bankruptcy Court’s authorization to use cash collateral and approval of the DIP Facility, we believe that we will have sufficient liquidity, including cash on hand and funds generated from ongoing operations, to fund anticipated cash requirements through the Chapter 11 Restructuring.  As such, we expect to pay vendor and royalty obligations on a go-forward basis in the ordinary course according to the termsholdings of our current contracts and consistent with applicable court orders approving such payments.  However, there can be no assurance that our current liquidity will be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our obligations related tocommon stock, the Chapter 11 Restructuring and those necessary for confirmationlack of the Plan.  There is a risk that we could fail to consummate the exit financing contemplated by the RSA, or that it will not be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs.

As a result of the Chapter 11 Restructuring, our financial results may not reflect historical trends.

We expect that ourcomparable historical financial performance likely will not be indicative of financial performance after the date of the bankruptcy filing. In addition, if we emerge from the Chapter 11 Restructuring, the amounts reported in subsequent periods may materially changeinformation due to revisions to our operating plans. Our June 30, 2020 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. In addition, our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not reflect any adjustments related to bankruptcy or liquidation accounting. We also may be required to adopt fresh start accounting, in which case our assets and liabilities will be recorded at fair value as of the

fresh start reporting date, which may differ materially from the recorded values of assets and liabilities prior to seeking bankruptcy protection.  Our financial results after the applicationadoption of fresh start accounting, are likely to be different from historical trends.

The pursuitactual or anticipated variations in our operating results and cash flow, the nature and content of our earnings releases, announcements or events that impact our products, customers, competitors or markets, business conditions in our markets and the general state of the Chapter 11 Restructuringsecurities markets and the market for energy-related stocks, as well as general economic and market conditions and other factors that may affect our future results, including those described in this Report. No assurance can be given that an active market will consume a substantial portiondevelop for the common stock or as to the liquidity of the timetrading market for the common stock. The common stock may be traded only infrequently, and attentionreliable market quotations may not be available. Holders of our management,common stock may experience difficulty in reselling, or an inability to sell, their shares. In addition, if an active trading market does not develop or is not maintained, significant sales of our common stock, or the expectation of these sales, could materially and we may face increased levels of employee attrition.

Our management will be required to spend a significant amount of time and effort focusing on the Chapter 11 Restructuring instead of focusing exclusively on our business operations.  This may adversely affect the conductmarket price of our business, and, as a result, our financial condition and results of operations, particularly if the Chapter 11 Restructuring are protracted.common stock.

During the duration of the Chapter 11 Restructuring,Upon our employees will face considerable distraction and uncertainty and we may experience increased levels of employee attrition. A loss of key personnel or material erosion of employee morale could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. The failure to retain or attract new members of our management team and other key personnel could impair our ability to execute our strategy and implement operational initiatives.

On the effective date of the Plan,emergence from bankruptcy, the composition of our boardBoard of directors will change substantially.Directors changed significantly.

UnderPursuant to the Plan,plan of reorganization, the composition of our boardthe Board changed significantly. Currently, the Board is made up of seven directors, will change substantially. Pursuant tofour of whom have not previously served on the Plan, our new board of directors will be appointed by the certain consenting noteholders under the RSA or the ad hoc committee representing them in accordance with the governance term sheet attached to the RSA. Our Chief Executive Officer will be a memberBoard of the board of directors. AnyCompany. The new directors are likely to have different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives from those individuals who previously served on the board of directorsBoard and, thus, may have different views on the issues that will determine our strategicthe future of the Company. As a result, the future strategy and operational direction andplans of the Company may differ materially from those of the past.

In certain instances, a chapter 11 case may be converted to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Upon a showing of cause, the Bankruptcy Court may convert our Chapter 11 Restructuring to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. In such event, a chapter 7 trustee would be appointed or elected to liquidate our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries for distribution in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. We believe that any such liquidation under chapter 7 would result in significantly smaller distributions being made to our creditors than those provided for in the RSA and plan of reorganization: assets would have to be sold or otherwise disposed of in a distressed fashion over a short period of time rather than in a controlled manner and as a going concern, and additional expenses and claims would be generated during the liquidation and from the rejection of leases and other executory contracts in connection with a cessation of operations.

Certain claims will not be discharged and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The Bankruptcy Code provides that the confirmation of a plan of reorganization discharges a debtor from substantially all debts arising prior to confirmation. With few exceptions, all claims that arise prior to the filing of our Chapter 11 Restructuring or before confirmation of the Plan (a) would be subject to compromise and/or treatment under the Plan and/or (b) would be discharged in accordance with the terms of the Plan. In order to achieve our objective of a swift confirmation of the Plan, we determined to leave many classes of claims as unimpaired and thus such claims are not discharged under the Plan. Holders of such claims can still assert the claims against the reorganized entity and may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Even if the Plan is consummated, we may not be able to achieve our stated goals and continue as a going concern.

Even if the Plan is consummated, we will continue to face a number of risks, including further deterioration in commodity prices or decreased market demand or increasing expenses.  Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that the Plan or any other chapter 11 plan of reorganization will achieve our stated goals.

Furthermore, even if our debts are reduced or discharged through such plan, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing to fund the Company’s operations and its capital needs. Our access to additional financing is, and for the foreseeable future will likely continue to be, extremely limited, if it is available at all.  Therefore, adequate funds may not be available when needed, or in sufficient amounts or available on acceptable terms, if at all.

Continuedcontinued COVID-19 outbreaks and uncertainty about their length and depth,pandemic, together with oil prices remaining at current levels, will significantly reduceare likely to continue to negatively affect our cash flow and liquidity.flow.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread and evolve, both in the United States and abroad. Its ultimate impact on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spreadintensity of the pandemic, the actions to contain the disease or mitigate its impact, related restrictions on business activity and travel, and continued lower levels of domestic and global oil demand. The COVID-19 pandemic may also intensify the risks described in the other risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Prices in the oil market have remained depressed since March 2020. Oil prices are expected to continue to be volatile as a result of the near-term production instability, ongoing COVID-19 outbreaks, changes in oil inventories, industry demand and global and national economic performance. NYMEX oil prices averaged approximately $22 per Bbl during the last 10 trading days of March 2020, continuing to decline to an average of $17 per Bbl in April 2020 before increasing to an average of $29 per Bbl during May 2020, $38 per Bbl during June 2020, and $41 per Bbl during July 2020.

As previously described in “Risk Factors” under Item 1A of our 2019 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2020, oil prices are the most important determinant of our operational and financial success. The reduction in our cash flows from operations since early March 2020, and the possibility of a continued reduction in cash flows for an indeterminant period of time, impairs our ability to develop our properties to support our oil production and pay oilfield operating expenses. Secondarily, this level of reduced cash flow may require us to continue to shut-in uneconomic production.

Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and tax credits may be limited. The Bankruptcy Court has entered an order that is designed to protect our NOLs.

As of June 30, 2020, we had tax-effected U.S. federal NOLs of $28.4 million, which carryforward indefinitely, enhanced oil recovery tax credits of $64.4 million that begin to expire in 2024, and research and development credits of $21.6 million that begin to expire in 2031, if not limited by triggering events prior to such time. Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), changes in our ownership, in certain circumstances, will limit the amount of U.S. federal NOLs and tax credits that can be utilized annually in the future to offset taxable income. In particular, Sections 382 and 383 of the IRC impose limitations on a company’s ability to use NOLs and tax credits upon certain changes in such ownership. Calculations pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the IRC can be very complicated and no assurance can be given that upon further analysis, our ability to take advantage of our NOLs or tax credits may be limited to a greater extent than we currently anticipate. If we are limited in our ability to use our NOLs or tax credits in future years in which we have taxable income, we will pay more taxes than if we were able to utilize our NOLs and tax credits fully. We may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of subsequent shifts in our stock ownership that we cannot predict or control that could result in further limitations being placed on our ability to utilize our federal NOLs and tax credits.

Trading in our common stock on the NYSE has been suspended, and our stock is currently traded on the OTC Pink Open Marketplace, which involves additional risks compared to being listed on a national securities exchange.

Trading in our common stock was suspended indefinitely on the NYSE on July 31, 2020. We will not be able to re-list our common stock on a national securities exchange during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Restructuring, although our common stock has been trading on the OTC Pink Open Marketplace. The trading of our common stock on the OTC Pink Open Marketplace rather than the NYSE may negatively impact the trading price of our common stock and the levels of liquidity available to our stockholders. Securities traded in the over-the-counter markets generally have significantly less liquidity than securities traded on a national securities exchange due to factors such as the reduced number of investors that will consider investing in the securities, the reduced number of market makers in the securities, and the reduced number of securities analysts that follow such securities. As a result, holders of shares of our common stock may find it difficult to resell their shares at prices quoted in the market or at all. Furthermore, because of the limited market and generally low volume of trading in our common stock that could occur, the share price of our common stock could be more likely to be affected by broad market fluctuations, general market conditions, fluctuations in our operating results, changes in the market’s perception of our business, and announcements made by us or third parties with interests in the Chapter 11 Restructuring.

Because our common stock trades on the OTC Pink Open Marketplace, in some cases, we may be subject to additional compliance requirements under applicable state laws in the issuance of our securities. The lack of liquidity in our common stock may also make it difficult for us to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or to otherwise arrange for any

financing we may need in the future. Accordingly, we urge that extreme caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in our common stock.
