GLOSSARY OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS TERMS

Analogous Reservoir: Analogous reservoirs, as used in resource assessments, have similar rock and fluid properties, reservoir conditions (depth, temperature and pressure) and drive mechanisms, but are typically at a more advanced stage of development than the reservoir of interest and thus may provide concepts to assist in the interpretation of more limited data and estimation of recovery. When used to support proved reserves, analogous reservoir refers to a reservoir that shares all of the following characteristics with the reservoir of interest: (i) the same geological formation (but not necessarily in pressure communication with the reservoir of interest); (ii) the same environment of deposition; (iii) similar geologic structure; and (iv) the same drive mechanism.

Bbl: One stock tank barrel, or 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume, used in reference to oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.

Bbl/d: One Bbl per day.

Bcfe: One billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent.

Boe: One barrel of oil equivalent, calculated by converting natural gas to oil equivalent barrels at a ratio of six Mcf of natural gas to one Bbl of oil.

BOEM:U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.

Btu: One British thermal unit, the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a one-pound mass of water by one degree Fahrenheit.

CO2:Carbon dioxide.

Development Project: A development project is the means by which petroleum resources are brought to the status of economically producible. As examples, the development of a single reservoir or field, an incremental development in a producing field or the integrated development of a group of several fields and associated facilities with a common ownership may constitute a development project.

Dry Hole or Dry Well: A well found to be incapable of producing hydrocarbons in sufficient quantities such that proceeds from the sale of such production would exceed production expenses and taxes.

Economically Producible: The term economically producible, as it relates to a resource, means a resource which generates revenue that exceeds, or is reasonably expected to exceed, the costs of the operation. For this determination, the value of the products that generate revenue are determined at the terminal point of oil and natural gas producing activities.

Exploitation: A development or other project which may target proven or unproven reserves (such as probable or possible reserves), but which generally has a lower risk than that associated with exploration projects.

Field: An area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs, all grouped on or related to the same individual geological structural feature and/or stratigraphic condition. The field name refers to the surface area, although it may refer to both the surface and the underground productive formations.

Gross Acres or Gross Wells: The total acres or wells, as the case may be, in which we have a working interest.

ICE: Inter-Continental Exchange.

MBbl: One thousand Bbls.

MBbls/d: One thousand Bbls per day.

MBoe: One thousand barrels of oil equivalent.

1

Table of Contents

MBoe/d: One thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day.

MMBoe:One million barrels of oil equivalent.

Mcf: One thousand cubic feet of natural gas.

Mcf/d: One Mcf per day.

MMBtu: One million Btu.

MMcf: One million cubic feet of natural gas.

MMcfe: One million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent.

MMcfe/d: One MMcfe per day.

Net Production: Production that is owned by us less royalties and production due to others.


NGLs: The combination of ethane, propane, butane and natural gasolines that, when removed from natural gas, become liquid under various levels of higher pressure and lower temperature.

NYMEX: New York Mercantile Exchange.

NYSE: New York Stock Exchange.

Oil: Oil and condensate.

Operator: The individual or company responsible for the exploration and/or production of an oil or natural gas well or lease.

OPIS: Oil Price Information Service.

Plugging and Abandonment: Refers to the sealing off of fluids in the strata penetrated by a well so that the fluids from one stratum will not escape into another stratum or to the surface. Regulations of all states require plugging of abandoned wells.

Probabilistic Estimate: The method of estimation of reserves or resources is called probabilistic when the full range of values that could reasonably occur for each unknown parameter (from the geoscience and engineering data) is used to generate a full range of possible outcomes and their associated probabilities of occurrence.

Proved Developed Reserves: Proved reserves that can be expected to be recovered from existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.

Proved Reserves: Those quantities of oil and natural gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible, from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations, prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced, or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project, within a reasonable time. The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes (i) the area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (ii) adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or natural gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data. In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons, as seen in a well penetration, unless geoscience, engineering or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty. Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil elevation and the potential exists for an associated natural gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty. Reserves

which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when (i) successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir, or an analogous reservoir or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and (ii) the project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities. Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price used is the average price during the twelve-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.

Realized Price: The cash market price less all expected quality, transportation and demand adjustments.

Reliable Technology: Reliable technology is a grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that has been field tested and has been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation.

Reserves: Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and natural gas or related substances to market and all permits and financing required to implement the project. Reserves should not be assigned to adjacent reservoirs isolated by major, potentially sealing, faults until those reservoirs are penetrated and evaluated as economically producible. Reserves should not be assigned to areas that are clearly separated from a known accumulation by a non-productive reservoir (i.e., absence of reservoir, structurally low reservoir or negative test results). Such areas may contain prospective resources (i.e., potentially recoverable resources from undiscovered accumulations).

Reservoir: A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible oil and/or natural gas that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual and separate from other reserves.


Resources: Resources are quantities of oil and natural gas estimated to exist in naturally occurring accumulations. A portion of the resources may be estimated to be recoverable and another portion may be considered unrecoverable. Resources include both discovered and undiscovered accumulations.

SEC: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

Working Interest: An interest in an oil and natural gas lease that gives the owner of the interest the right to drill for and produce oil and natural gas on the leased acreage and requires the owner to pay a share of the costs of drilling and production operations.

Workover: Operations on a producing well to restore or increase production.

WTI: West Texas Intermediate.

We operate in 1 reportable segmentThe Company is engaged in the acquisition, development, exploitation and production of oil and natural gas properties. Our management evaluates performance based on one reportable business segment as the economic environments are not different within the operation of our oil and natural gas properties. Our assets consist primarily of producing oil and natural gas properties and are located in Oklahoma, the Rockies, federal waters offshore Southern California, East Texas / Texas/North Louisiana and the Eagle Ford. Most of our oil and natural gas properties are located in large, mature oil and natural gas reservoirs. The Company’s properties consist primarily of operated and non-operated working interests in producing and undeveloped leasehold acreage and working interests in identified producing wells.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, oil and natural gas reserves; depreciation, depletion and amortization of proved oil and natural gas properties; future cash flows from oil and natural gas properties; impairment of long-lived assets; fair value of derivatives; fair value of equity compensation; fair values of assets acquiredestimates; revenue recognition; and liabilities assumed in business combinationscontingencies and asset retirement obligations.insurance accounting.

Market Conditions and COVID-19

In March 2020,Since the World Health Organization classifiedstart of the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic. The nature of COVID-19 ledpandemic, governments have tried to worldwide shutdowns, reductions in commercial and interpersonal activity and changes in consumer behavior. In attempting to controlslow the spread of COVID-19, governments around the world imposed lawsvirus by imposing social distancing guidelines, travel restrictions and regulations such as shelter-in-placestay-at-home orders, quarantines, executiveamong other actions, which caused a significant decrease in activity in the global economy and the demand for oil and to a lesser extent natural gas and NGLs. As vaccines have become widely available, social distancing guidelines, travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders and similar restrictions. As a result,have eased, activity in the global economy has been marked by significant slowdownincreased and uncertainty, which in turn has led to a precipitous decline in commodity prices in response to decreased demand further exacerbated by global energy storage shortages and by the price war among members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and other non-OPEC producer nations (collectively with OPEC members, “OPEC+”) beginning in the first quarter of 2020. As of the first quarter of 2021, commodity prices have recovered to pre-pandemic levels, due in part to the accessibility of vaccines, reopening of economies after the lockdown, and optimism about the economic recovery. The continued spread of COVID-19, including vaccine resistant strains, or repeated deterioration infor oil, and natural gas prices could result in additional adverse impacts on the Company's resultsand NGLs and related commodity pricing, has improved.

On June 22, 2021, KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) notified the Company that the loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) had been approved for fullAdditionally, oil, natural gas and complete forgiveness by the Small Business Association. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company reported a gain on extinguishment of debt for $5.5 million for the PPP Loan forgiveness in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 7 for additional information.

Employee Retention Credit.The Consolidated Appropriations Act extended and expanded the availability of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) employee retention credit through June 30, 2021. Subsequently, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the “ARP Act”), enacted on March 11, 2021, extended and expanded the availability of the employee retention credit through December 31, 2021, however, certain provisions applied only after December 31, 2020. This new legislation expanded the group of qualifying businesses to include businesses with fewer than 500 employees and those who previously qualified for the PPP Loan. The employee retention credit is calculated to be equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees after December 31, 2020, and before January 1, 2022. During calendar year 2021, a maximum of $10,000 in qualified wages for each employee per qualifying calendar quarter may be counted in determining the 70% credit. Therefore, the maximum tax credit that can be claimed by an eligible employer is $7,000 per employee per qualifying calendar quarter of 2021. The Company has determined that the qualifications for the credit were metNGLs prices increased in the first half of 2022 when compared to the same period of 2021 and, second quarters of 2021.as a result, the Company experienced a significant increase in revenues.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates as described in the Company’s annual financial statements included in our 2020its 2021 Form 10-K.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform.In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (the “FASB”) issued an accounting standard update which provides optional expedients and expectations for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions to ease financial reporting burdens to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate to alternative reference rates. The amendments in this accounting standards update became effective on March 12, 2020, and an entity may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company notes nohas implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact with applying this guidance.

Income Taxes – Simplifyingon the Accounting for Income Taxes. In December 2019,financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the FASBCompany does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued an accounting standard update which simplified the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. This accounting standards update removed the following exceptions: (i) exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items; (ii) exception to the requirements to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment; (iii) exception to the ability not to recognize a deferred tax liability for a foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary; and (iv) exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. The amendments in the accounting standards update also improve consistency and simplify other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The guidance became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2021, with all of the anticipated and applicable effects to be required on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did notthat might have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’sits financial position or results of operations and cash flows.operations.

Note 3. Revenue

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue is recognized when the following five steps are completed: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligation (promise) in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, (5) recognize revenue when the reporting organization satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company has determined that its contracts for the sale of crude oil, unprocessed natural gas, residue gas and NGLs contain monthly performance obligations to deliver product at locations specified in the contract. Control is transferred at the delivery location, at which point the performance obligation has been satisfied and revenue is recognized. Fees included in the contract that are incurred prior to control transfer are classified as gathering, processing and transportation, and fees incurred after control transfers are included as a reduction to the transaction price. The transaction price at which revenue is recognized consists entirely of variable consideration based on quoted market prices less various fees and the quantity of volumes delivered.

Oil andDisaggregation of Revenue

The Company has identified 3 material revenue streams in its business: oil, natural gas and NGLs. The following table presents the Company’s revenues are recorded using the sales method. Under this method, revenues are recognized based on actual volumes of oil and natural gas sold to purchasers, regardless of whether the sales are proportionate to our ownership in the property. An asset or a liability is recognized to the extent there is an imbalance in excess of the proportionate share of the remaining recoverable reserves on the underlying properties. No significant imbalances existed at June 30, 2021.disaggregated by revenue stream.

Accounts receivable attributable to ourthe Company’s revenue contracts with customers was $34.9$48.5 million at June 30, 20212022 and $25.6$32.4 million at December 31, 2020.2021.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a specified measurement date. Fair value estimates are based on either (i) actual market data or (ii) assumptions that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including estimates of risk. A three-tier hierarchy has been established that classifies fair value amounts recognized or disclosed in the financial statements. The hierarchy considers fair value amounts based on observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) to be more reliable and predictable than those based primarily on unobservable inputs (Level 3). All the derivative instruments reflected on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were considered Level 2.

The carrying values of accounts receivables, accounts payables (including accrued liabilities), restricted investments and amounts outstanding under long-term debt agreements with variable rates included in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximated fair value at June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021. The fair value estimates are based upon observable market data and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. These assets and liabilities are not presented in the following tables.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair market values of the derivative financial instruments reflected on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 were based on estimated forward commodity prices. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The following tables present the gross derivative assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 for each of the fair value hierarchy levels:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, as reflected on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair values:

The fair value of asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) is based on discounted cash flow projections using numerous estimates, assumptions and judgments regarding factors such as the existence of a legal obligation for an ARO; amounts and timing of settlements; the credit-adjusted risk-free rate; and inflation rates. The initial fair value estimates are based on unobservable market data and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 6 for a summary of changes in AROs.

Proved oil and natural gas properties are reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate a possible decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of such properties. The Company uses an income approach based on the discounted cash flow method, whereby the present value of expected future net cash flows is discounted by applying an appropriate discount rate, for purposes of placing a fair value on the assets. The future cash flows are based on management’s estimates for the future. The unobservable inputs used to determine fair value include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved reserves, estimates of probable reserves, future commodity prices, the timing of future production and capital expenditures and a discount rate commensurate with the risk reflective of the lives remaining for the respective oil and natural gas properties (some of which are Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy).

NaN impairment expense recorded on proved oil and natural gas properties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $405.7 million of impairment expense on our proved oil and natural gas properties. These impairments related to certain properties located in East Texas, the Rockies and offshore Southern California. The estimated future cash flows expected from these properties were compared to their carrying values and determined to be unrecoverable primarily as a result of declining commodity prices. The impairments were due to a decline in the value of estimated proved reserves based on declining commodity prices in 2020.

Unproved oil and natural gas properties are reviewed for impairment based on time or geological factors. Information such as drilling results, reservoir performance, seismic interpretation or future plans to develop acreage is also considered.

NaN impairment expense recorded on unproved oil and natural gas properties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

We recognized $49.3 million of impairment expense on unproved properties for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which was related to expiring leases and the evaluation of qualitative and quantitative factors related to the decline in commodity prices in 2020.

Note 5. Risk Management and Derivative Instruments

Derivative instruments are utilized to manage exposure to commodity price and interest rate fluctuations and to achieve a more predictable cash flow in connection with natural gas and oil sales from production and borrowing related activities. These instruments limit exposure to declines in prices but also limit the benefits that would be realized if prices increase.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Certain inherent business risks are associated with commodity derivative contracts, including market risk and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the price of natural gas or oil will change, either favorably or unfavorably, in response to changing market conditions. Credit risk is the risk of loss from nonperformance by the counterparty to a contract. It is ourthe Company’s policy to enter into derivative contracts only with creditworthy counterparties, which generally are financial institutions, deemed by management as competent and competitive market makers. Some of the lenders, or certain of their affiliates, under ourthe Company’s current credit agreements are counterparties to ourits derivative contracts. While collateral is generally not required to be posted by counterparties, credit risk associated with derivative instruments is minimized by limiting exposure to any single counterparty and entering into derivative instruments only with creditworthy counterparties that are generally large financial institutions. Additionally, master netting agreements are used to mitigate risk of loss due to default with counterparties on derivative instruments. We haveThe Company has also entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with each of ourits counterparties. The terms of the ISDA Agreements provide usthe Company and each of ourits counterparties with rights of set-off upon the occurrence of defined acts of default by either usthe Company or ourits counterparty to a derivative, whereby the party not in default may set-off all liabilities owed to the defaulting party against all net derivative asset receivables from the defaulting party. See Note 7 for additional information regarding ourthe Company’s Revolving Credit Facility.Facility (as defined below).

Commodity Derivatives

WeThe Company may use a combination of commodity derivatives (e.g., floating-for-fixed swaps, put options, costless collars and three-way collars) to manage exposure to commodity price volatility. We recognizeThe Company recognizes all derivative instruments at fair value.

Revolving Credit Facility

Amplify Energy Operating LLC, ourOLLC, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, (“OLLC”), is a party to a reserve-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), subject to a borrowing base of $245.0$225.0 million as of June 30, 2021,2022, which is guaranteed by usthe Company and all of ourits current subsidiaries. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on November 2, 2023. OurThe Company’s borrowing base under ourits Revolving Credit Facility is subject to redetermination on at least a semi-annual basis, primarily based on a reserve engineering report.

On June 16, 2021, the Company completed its scheduled semi-annual borrowing base redetermination process, pursuant to which the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility was decreased from $260.0 million to $245.0 million. In addition to the redetermination, the administrative agent under the Revolving Credit Facility agreement was changed from Bank of Montreal to KeyBank.

As of June 30, 2021, we were2022, the Company was in compliance with all the financial (current ratio and total leverage ratio) and othernon-financial covenants associated with ourits Revolving Credit Facility.

On June 20, 2022, OLLC entered into the Borrowing Base Redetermination Agreement and Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement, among OLLC, Amplify Acquisitionco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent (the “Sixth Amendment”). The Sixth Amendment amends the Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things:

terminate the automatic monthly reductions of the borrowing base;
reaffirm the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility at $225.0 million; and
modify the affirmative hedging covenant.

The Fall 2021 semi-annual borrowing base redetermination in November 2021, resulted in (1) the reaffirmation of the $245.0 million borrowing base and (2) subsequent reductions to the borrowing base of $5.0 million per month beginning February 28, 2022 and continuing until the completion of the next regularly scheduled redetermination. The Company completed the regularly scheduled redetermination in June 2022.

Note 10. Long-Term Incentive Plans

In May 2021, the shareholders approved a new Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”) in which the Legacy Amplify Management Incentive Plan (the “Legacy Amplify MIP”) and the Legacy Amplify 2017 Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan (the “Legacy Amplify Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan”) were replaced by the EIP and no further awards will be allowed to be granted under the Legacy Amplify MIP or the Legacy Amplify Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan. As of June 30, 2021,2022, an aggregate of 2,802,8561,553,416 shares were available for future grants under the EIP.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted Stock Units with Service Vesting Condition

The restricted stock units with service vesting conditions (“TSUs”) are accounted for as equity-classified awards. The grant-date fair value is recognized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. Compensation costs are recorded as general and administrative expense. The unrecognized cost associated with the TSUs was $2.7$4.2 million at June 30, 2021. We expect2022. The Company expects to recognize the unrecognized compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.72.3 years.

The aggregate grant-date fair value of TSUs issued for the six months ended June 30, 20212022 was $3.1 million based on a grant date market price of $3.52at $3.64 per share.

Restricted Stock Units with Market and Service Vesting Conditions

The restricted stock units with market and service vesting conditions (“PSUs”) are accounted for as equity-classified awards. The grant-date fair value is recognized as compensation cost on a graded-vesting basis. As such, the Company recognizes compensation cost over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of the award as though the award were, in substance, multiple awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Compensation costs are recorded as general and administrative expense. The unrecognized cost related to the PSUs was less than $0.1 million at June 30, 2021. We expect2022. The Company expects to recognize the unrecognized compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.40.9 years.

AMPLIFY ENERGY CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The PSUs will vest based on the satisfaction of service and market vesting conditions, with market vesting based on the Company’s achievement of certain share price targets. The PSUs are subject to service-based vesting such that 50% of the PSUs service vest on the applicable market vesting date and an additional 25% of the PSUs service vest on each of the first and second anniversaries of the applicable market vesting date.

In the event of a qualifying termination, subject to certain conditions, (i) all PSUs that have satisfied the market vesting conditions will fully service vest, upon such termination, and (ii) if the termination occurs between the second and third anniversaries of the grant date, then PSUs that have not market vested as of the termination will market vest to the extent that the share targets (in each case, reduced by $0.25) are achieved as of such termination. Subject to the foregoing, any unvested PSUs will be forfeited upon termination of employment.

A Monte Carlo simulation was used in order to determine the fair value of these awards at the grant date.

Restricted Stock Units with Market Vesting Conditions

The restricted stock units with performance-based vesting conditions (“PRSUs”) are accounted for as equity-classified awards. The grant-date fair value is recognized as compensation cost on a graded-vesting basis. As such, the Company recognizes compensation cost over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of the award as though the award were, in substance, multiple awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Compensation costs are recorded as general and administrative expense.

The 2022 PRSUs arewere issued collectively in separate tranches with individual performances periodsa three year vesting period beginning in January 2021, 2022,on the grant date and 2023 respectively. For eachending on the third anniversary of the performance periods the awards will vest based on the percentage of the target PRSUs subject to the performance vesting condition with 25% able to vest during the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021; 25% able to vest during the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 and 50% able to vest during the period of January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.grant date. Vesting of PRSUs can range from 0 to 200% of the target units granted based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of the Company’s performance peer group over the performance period. The fair value of each PRSU award was estimated on their grant dates using a Monte Carlo simulation. The unrecognized cost associated with the PRSUs was $0.3$1.2 million at June 30, 2021. We expect2022. The Company expects to recognize the unrecognized compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.12.4 years.

The 2021 PRSUs awards were issued collectively in separate tranches with individual performances periods beginning in January 2021, 2022, and 2023 respectively. For each of the 2021 PRSUs awards the performance period, will vest based on the percentage of the target PRSUs subject to the performance vesting condition, with 25% able to vest during the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021; 25% able to vest during the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 and 50% able to vest during the period of January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.

2017 Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan

In June 2017, Legacy Amplify implemented the Legacy Amplify Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan to attract and retain the services of experienced non-employee directors of Legacy Amplify or its subsidiaries. In connection with the closing of the merger, on August 6, 2019, the Company assumed the Legacy Amplify Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan. As noted above, the Legacy Amplify Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan was replaced by the EIP in May 2021.

The restricted stock units with a service vesting condition (“Board RSUs”) are accounted for as equity-classified awards. The grant-date fair value is recognized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. Compensation costs are recorded as general and administrative expense. The unrecognized cost associated with restricted stock unit awards was less than $0.1 million at June 30, 2021. We expect to recognize the unrecognized compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.8 years.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, our leases qualify as operating leases and we did not have any existing or new leases qualifying as financing leases or variable leases. We haveThe Company has leases for office space and equipment in ourits corporate office and operating regions as well as warehouse space, vehicles, compressors and surface rentals related to ourits business operations. In addition, we havethe Company has offshore Southern California pipeline right-of-way use agreements. Most of ourthe Company’s leases, other than ourits corporate office lease, have an initial term and may be extended on a month-to-month basis after expiration of the initial term. Most of ourthe Company’s leases can be terminated with 30-day prior written notice. The majority of ourits month-to-month leases are not included as a lease liability in ourits balance sheet under ASC 842 because continuation of the lease is not reasonably certain. Additionally, the Company elected the short-term practical expedient to exclude leases with a term of twelve months or less. For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, all of the Company’s leases qualified as operating leases and it did not have any existing or new leases qualifying as financing leases or variable leases.

OurThe Company’s corporate office lease does not provide an implicit rate. To determine the present value of the lease payments, we use ourthe Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the inception date.

Under OPA 90, a party alleged to be responsible for a discharge of oil is required to establish a claims process to pay for interim costs and damages as a result of the discharge. The OPA 90 claims process remains ongoing.

Future litigation may be necessary, among other things, to defend the Company by determining the scope, enforceability, and validity of claims. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Minimum Volume Commitment

The Company is party to a gas purchase, gathering and processing contract in Oklahoma, which includes certain minimum NGL commitments. To the extent the Company does not deliver natural gas volumes in sufficient quantities to generate, when processed, the minimum levels of recovered NGLs, it would be required to reimburse the counterparty an amount equal to the sum of the monthly shortfall, if any, multiplied by a fee. The Company is not meeting the minimum volume required under this contractual provision. The commitment fee expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,2022 was approximately $0.5$0.7 million and $0.8$1.1 million, respectively. The minimum volume commitment for Oklahoma ends on June 30, 2023.

The Company is party to a gas purchase, gathering and processing contract in East Texas, which includes certain minimum gas commitments. The Company is not meeting the minimum volume required under this contractual provision. The commitment fee expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, was approximately $0.5$0.6 million and $0.9$1.1 million, respectively. The minimum volume commitment for East Texas ends on November 30, 2022.

Note 16. Southern California Pipeline Incident

On October 2, 2021, contractors operating under the Presidentdirection of Beta, a subsidiary of Amplify, observed an oil sheen on the water approximately 4 miles off the coast of Newport Beach, California (the “Incident”). Beta platform personnel were notified and promptly initiated the Company’s Oil Spill Response Plan, which was reviewed and approved by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement’s Oil Spill Preparedness Division within the United States signedDepartment of the ARP Act,Interior, and which included the required notifications of specified regulatory agencies. On October 3, 2021, a Unified Command, consisting of the Company, the U.S. Coast Guard and California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response, was established to respond to the COVID-19 emergencyIncident.

On October 5, 2021, the Unified Command announced that reports from its contracted commercial divers and addressRemotely Operated Vehicle footage indicated that a 4,000-foot section of the Company’s pipeline had been displaced with a maximum lateral movement of approximately 105 feet and that the pipeline had a 13-inch split, running parallel to the pipe. On October 14, 2021, the U.S. Coast Guard announced that it had a high degree of confidence the size of the release was approximately 588 barrels of oil, which is below the previously reported maximum estimate of 3,134 barrels. On October 16, 2021, the U.S. Coast Guard announced that it had identified the Mediterranean Shipping Company (DANIT) as a “vessel of interest” and its owner Dordellas Finance Corporation and operator Mediterranean Shipping Company, S.A. as parties in interest in connection with an anchor-dragging incident, in January 2021 (the “Anchor Dragging Incident”), which occurred in close proximity to the Company’s pipeline, and that additional vessels of interest continued to be investigated. On November 19, 2021, the U.S. Coast Guard announced that it had identified the COSCO (Beijing) as another vessel involved in the Anchor Dragging Incident and named its owner Capetanissa Maritime Corporation of Liberia and its operator V.Ships Greece Ltd. as parties in interest. The cause, timing and details regarding the Incident remain under investigation.

At the height of the Incident response, the Company deployed over 1,800 personnel working under the guidance and at the direction of the Unified Command to aid in cleanup operations. As of October 14, 2021, all beaches that had been closed following the Incident have reopened. On February 2, 2022, the Unified Command announced that response and monitoring efforts have officially concluded for the Incident, and Unified Command would stand down as of such date. Amplify is grateful to its Unified Command partners for their collaboration and professionalism over the course of the response.

In response to the Incident, all operations have been suspended and the pipeline has been shut-in until the Company receives the required regulatory approvals to begin operations. On October 4, 2021, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) issued a Corrective Action Order (CAO) pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 60112, which makes clear that no restart of the affected pipeline may occur until PHMSA has approved a written restart plan. Additionally, the California Coastal Commission requested approval from the Office of Coastal Management for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) to conduct a Coastal Zone Management Act consistency review of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit (NWP) 12 application for the proposed permanent repair permit; on April 7, 2022, NOAA denied that request. The Company is working expeditiously and cooperatively to comply with the requirements of the relevant agencies in order to gain such approvals and any other regulatory approvals that are necessary to permanently repair the pipeline and restart operations. As a result of the uncertainties related to the permitting and regulatory approval process, the Company can provide no assurances as to whether and when, if at all, operation will restart at the Beta field. At present, no operations are underway in the Beta field.

On December 15, 2021, a federal grand jury in the Central District of California returned a federal criminal indictment against Amplify Energy Corp., Beta Operating Company, LLC, and San Pedro Bay Pipeline Company in connection with the Incident. The indictment alleges that the Company committed a misdemeanor violation of the federal Clean Water Act for negligently discharging oil into the contiguous zone of the United States. A trial is set for November 1, 2022. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California has stated that its investigation of the Incident and related matters is ongoing. State authorities are conducting parallel criminal investigations as well. We are continuing to cooperate with these federal and state investigations. The outcome of these investigations is uncertain, including whether they will result in additional criminal charges.

The Company is currently subject to a number of ongoing investigations related to the Incident by certain federal and state agencies. To date, the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, the U.S. Department of Justice, PHMSA, the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, the California Department of Justice, the Orange County District Attorney, the Los Angeles County District Attorney, and the California Department of Fish & Wildlife are conducting investigations or examinations of the Incident. On April 8, 2022, in light of the allegations raised in the December 15, 2021 federal indictment, the Company received a Show Cause Notice from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) asking the Company to provide information as to why it should not be suspended from participating in future Federal contracting and assisting activities pursuant to 2 C.F.R. § 180.700(a), (c) and 2 C.F.R. § 180.800(a)(4). On April 22, 2022, the Company responded to the Show Cause Notice and is working cooperatively with the EPA in connection with this matter. Other federal agencies may or have commenced investigations and proceedings, and may initiate enforcement actions seeking penalties and other relief under the Clean Water Act and other statutes. Amplify continues to comply with all regulatory requirements and investigations. The outcomes of these investigations and the nature of any remedies pursued will depend on the discretion of the relevant authorities and may result in regulatory or other enforcement actions, as well as civil and criminal liability.

The Company and 2 subsidiaries have been named as defendants in a consolidated putative class action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated class action complaint on January 28, 2022 and an amended complaint on March 21, 2022. Plaintiffs assert claims against the Company, Beta Operating Company, LLC, San Pedro Bay Pipeline Company, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, Dordellas Finance Corp., the MSC Danit (proceeding in rem), Costamare Shipping Co. S.A., Capetanissa Maritime Corporation of Liberia, V.Ships Greece Ltd., and the COSCO Beijing (proceeding in rem). The Company filed a third-party complaint on February 28, 2022, and an amended complaint on June 21, 2022. The Company sued the same shipping defendants and has added claims against the Marine Exchange of Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor, COSCO Shipping Lines Co. Ltd., COSCO (Cayman) Mercury Co. Ltd., and Mediterranean Shipping Company S.r.l. The Company has moved to dismiss the Plaintiffs’ complaint, and the Marine Exchange of Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor and certain of the shipping defendants have moved to dismiss the Company’s complaint. A hearing on the motions to dismiss is scheduled for August 25, 2022. Further, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, Dordellas Finance Corp., and Capetanissa Maritime Corporation of Liberia have filed petitions for limitations of liability under maritime law in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The court consolidated the limitation actions into a single limitation action and also coordinated discovery between the consolidated limitation and the consolidated class actions. Resolution of the civil litigation may take considerable time, and it is not possible at this time to estimate the Company’s potential liability resulting from these actions.

Under the OPA 90, the Company’s pipeline was designated by the U.S. Coast Guard as the source of the oil discharge and therefore the Company is financially responsible for remediation and for certain costs and economic effects.damages as provided for in OPA 90, as well as certain natural resource damages associated with the spill and certain costs determined by federal and state trustees engaged in a joint assessment of such natural resource damages. The ARP Act didCompany is currently processing covered claims under OPA 90 as expeditiously as possible. In addition, the Natural Resource Damage Assessment remains ongoing and therefore the extent, timing and cost related to such assessment are difficult to project. While the Company anticipates insurance will reimburse it for expenses related to the Natural Resource Damage Assessment, any potentially uncovered expenses may be material and could impact the Company’s business and results of operations and could put pressure on its liquidity position going forward.

The Company currently estimates that the total costs it has incurred or will incur with respect to the Incident to be approximately $110.0 million to $130.0 million, which is primarily related to (i) actual and projected response and remediation expenses incurred under the direction of the Unified Command and (ii) estimates for certain legal fees. These estimates consider currently available facts and presently enacted laws and regulations. The Company has made assumptions regarding (i) the probable and estimable amounts expected to be settled with certain vendors for response and remediation expenses and (ii) the resolution of certain third-party claims, excluding claims with respect to losses, which are not probable and reasonably estimable, and (iii) future claims and lawsuits. The Company’s estimates do not include (i) the nature, extent and cost of future legal services that will be required in connection with all lawsuits, claims and other matters requiring legal or expert advice associated with the Incident, (ii) any lost revenue associated with the suspension of operations at Beta, (iii) any liabilities or costs that are not reasonably estimable at this time or that relate to contingencies where the Company currently regards the likelihood of loss as being only reasonably possible or remote and (iv) the costs associated with the permanent repair of the pipeline and the restart of the Beta operations. The Company believes it has accrued adequate amounts for all probable and reasonably estimable costs; however, this estimate is subject to uncertainties associated with the assumptions that it has made. For example, settlements with vendors for response and remediation expenses could turn out to be significantly higher or lower than the Company has estimated. Accordingly, as the Company’s assumptions and estimates may change in future periods based on future events and total costs may materially increase, the Company can provide no assurance that it will not have to accrue significant additional costs in future periods with respect to the Incident.

In accordance with customary insurance practice, the Company maintains insurance policies, including loss of production income insurance, against many potential losses or liabilities arising from its operations and at costs that the Company believes to be economic. The Company regularly reviews its risk of loss and the cost and availability of insurance and revises its insurance accordingly. The Company’s insurance does not cover every potential risk associated with its operations and is subject to certain exclusions and deductibles. While the Company expects its insurance policies will cover a material impactportion of the total aggregate costs associated with the Incident, including but not limited to response and remediation expenses, defense costs and loss of revenue resulting from suspended operations, it can provide no assurance that its coverage will adequately protect it against liability from all potential consequences, damages and losses related to the Incident and such view and understanding is preliminary and subject to change.

The forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the front of this report.

Overview

We operate in one reportable segment engaged in the acquisition, development, exploitation and production of oil and natural gas properties. Our management evaluates performance based on the reportable business segment as the economic environments are not different within the operation of our oil and natural gas properties. Our business activities are conducted through OLLC, our wholly owned subsidiary, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Our assets consist primarily of producing oil and natural gas properties and are located in Oklahoma, the Rockies, federal waters offshore Southern California, East Texas / North Louisiana and the Eagle Ford. Most of our oil and natural gas properties are located in large, mature oil and natural gas reservoirs. The Company’sOur properties consist primarily of operated and non-operated working interests in producing and undeveloped leasehold acreage and working interests in identified producing wells.

In attempting to controlslow the spread of COVID-19, governments around the world imposed lawsvirus by imposing social distancing guidelines, travel restrictions and regulations such as shelter-in-placestay-at-home orders, quarantines, executiveamong other actions, which caused a significant decrease in activity in the global economy and the demand for oil and to a lesser extent natural gas and NGLs. As vaccines have become widely available, social distancing guidelines, travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders and similar restrictions. As a result,have eased, activity in the global economy has been marked byincreased and demand for oil, natural gas and NGLs and related commodity pricing, has improved.

Additionally, oil, natural gas and NGLs prices increased in the first half of 2022 when compared to the same period of 2021 and, as a result, we experienced a significant slowdown and uncertainty, whichincrease in turn has ledrevenues.

On April 9, 2021, Ms. Denise DuBard notified the Company of her decision to retire from serving as the Company’s Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer. Ms. DuBard remained in her role at the Company to assist with an orderly transition to Mr. Dulany.


Business Environment and Operational Focus

We use a variety of financial and operational metrics to assess the performance of our oil and natural gas operations, including: (i) production volumes; (ii) realized prices on the sale of our production; (iii) cash settlements on our commodity derivatives; (iv) lease operating expense; (v) gathering, processing and transportation; (vi) general and administrative expense; and (vii) Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below).

Sources of Revenues

Our revenues are derived from the sale of natural gas and oil production, as well as the sale of NGLs that are extracted from natural gas during processing. Production revenues are derived entirely from the continental United States. Natural gas, NGL and oil prices are inherently volatile and are influenced by many factors outside our control. In order to reduce the impact of fluctuations in natural gas and oil prices on revenues, we intend to periodically enter into derivative contracts that fix the future prices received. At the end of each period, the fair value of these commodity derivative instruments areis estimated and because hedge accounting is not elected, the changes in the fair value of unsettled commodity derivative instruments are recognized in earnings at the end of each accounting period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A discussion of ourOur critical accounting policies and estimates, is includedincluding a discussion regarding the estimation uncertainty and the impact that our critical accounting estimates have had, or are reasonably likely to have, on our financial condition or results of operations, are described in Item 7., “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 20202021 Form 10-K. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, oil and natural gas reserves; depreciation, depletion and amortization of proved oil and natural gas properties; future cash flows from oil and natural gas properties; impairment of long-lived assets; fair value of derivatives; fair value of equity compensation; fair values of assets acquiredestimates; revenue recognition; and liabilities assumed in business combinationscontingencies and asset retirement obligations.insurance accounting. These estimates, in our opinion, are subjective in nature, require the use of professional judgment and involve complex analysis.

When used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, such estimates are based on our current knowledge and understanding of the underlying facts and circumstances and may be revised as a result of actions we take in the future. Changes in these estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Subsequent changes in these estimates may have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Adjusted EBITDA

We include in this report the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA and provide our reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) and net cash flows from operating activities, our most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss):

Plus:

Interest expense;

Income tax expense;

DD&A;

Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets (including oil and natural gas properties);

Accretion of AROs;

Loss on commodity derivative instruments;

Cash settlements received on expired commodity derivative instruments;

Amortization of gain associated with terminated commodity derivatives;

Losses on sale of assets;

Share-based compensation expenses;

Exploration costs;


Acquisition and divestiture related expenses;

Reorganization items, net;

Severance payments; and

Other non-routine items that we deem appropriate.

37

Less:

Interest income;

Income tax benefit;

Gain on commodity derivative instruments;

Cash settlements paid on expired commodity derivative instruments;

Gains on sale of assets and other, net; and

Other non-routine items that we deem appropriate.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a widely followed measure of operating performance and may also be used by investors to measure our ability to meet debt service requirements.

In addition, management useswe use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate actual cash flow available to develop existing reserves or acquire additional oil and natural gas properties.

The following tables present our reconciliation of the Company’s net income (loss)(loss ) and cash flows from operating activities to Adjusted EBITDA, our most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, for each of the periods indicated.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview. Our ability to finance our operations, including funding capital expenditures and acquisitions, to meet our indebtedness obligations, to refinance our indebtedness or to meet our collateral requirements will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources have historically been cash on hand, cash flows providedgenerated by operating activities and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. As we pursue reserve and production growth, we plan to monitor which capital resources, including equity and debt financings, are available to us to meet our future financial obligations, planned capital expenditure activities and liquidity requirements. Based on our current oil and natural gas price expectations, we believe our cash flows provided by operating activities and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility will provide us with the financial flexibility necessary to meet our cash requirements, including normal operating needs, and to pursue our currently planned 2022 development activities. However, future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including the level of our oil and natural gas production and the prices we receive for our oil and natural gas production, and significant additional capital expenditures will be required to more fully develop our properties. We cannot assure you that operations and other needed capital will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. For the remainder of 2021,2022, we expect our primary funding sources to be from internally generated cash flows provided by operating activities, cash on hand and available borrowing capacityflow, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.Facility, and equity and debt capital markets.

Impact of the Southern California Pipeline Incident.There is substantial uncertainty surrounding the full impact that the Incident will have on our financial condition and cash flow generation going forward. We have incurred and will continue to incur costs as a result of the Incident, and we anticipate that the suspension of production from Beta will lead to a material reduction in revenue from these assets. Although we carry customary insurance policies, including loss of production income insurance, which we expect will cover a material portion of the total aggregate costs associated with the Incident, including loss of revenue resulting from suspended operations, we can provide no assurance that our coverage will adequately protect us against liability from all potential consequences, damages and losses related to the Incident.

Capital Markets. We do not currently anticipate any near-term capital markets activity, but we will continue to evaluate the availability of public debt and equity for funding potential future growth projects and acquisition activity.

Hedging. Commodity hedging has been and remains an important part of our strategy to reduce cash flow volatility. Our hedging activities are intended to support oil, NGL and natural gas prices at targeted levels and to manage our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. We intend to enter into commodity derivative contracts at times and on terms desired to maintain a portfolio of commodity derivative contracts covering at least 30%-65%50%-60% of our estimated production from total proved developed producing reserves over a one-to-three yearone-to-three-year period at any given point of time to satisfy the hedging covenants in our Revolving Credit Facility and pursuant to our internal policies.time. We may, however, from time to time, hedge more or less than this approximate amount. Additionally, we may take advantage of opportunities to modify our commodity derivative portfolio to change the percentage of our hedged production volumes when circumstances suggest that it is prudent to do so. The current market conditions may also impact our ability to enter into future commodity derivative contracts.

We evaluate counterparty risks related to our commodity derivative contracts and trade credit. Should any of these financial counterparties not perform, we may not realize the benefit of some of our hedges under lower commodity prices. We sell our oil and natural gas to a variety of purchasers. Non-performance by a customer could also result in losses.

Capital Expenditures. Our total capital expenditures were approximately $16.7$20.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, which were primarily related to capital workovers, maintenance and facilities located in Oklahoma, East Texas, the Rockies and Californianon-operated drilling and non-operated completion activities in East Texas and the Eagle Ford.

Working Capital. We expect to fund Working capital is the amount by which current assets exceed current liabilities. Our working capital requirements are primarily driven by changes in accounts receivable and accounts payable, as well as the classification of our debt outstanding. These changes are impacted by changes in the prices of commodities that we buy and sell. In general, our working capital requirements increase in periods of rising commodity prices and decrease in periods of declining commodity prices. However, our working capital needs primarilydo not necessarily change at the same rate as commodity prices because both accounts receivable and accounts payable are impacted by the same commodity prices. In addition, the timing of payments received by our customers or paid to our suppliers can also cause fluctuations in working capital because we settle with operating cash flows. Furthermore,most of our expected capital expenditureslarger customers on a monthly basis and debt service requirements are expected to be funded by operating cash flows. See Note 7often near the end of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under “Item 1. Financial Statements” and “—Overview”month. We expect that our future working capital requirements will be impacted by these same factors.

40

As of June 30, 2021,2022, we had a working capital deficit of $55.3$78.1 million primarily due to short-term derivatives of $63.1$80.0 million, accrued liabilities of $26.1$48.9 million, revenues payable of $19.2$24.5 million, and accounts payable of $14.4$35.0 million offset by accounts receivable of $39.6$77.8 million, cash on hand of $15.2$16.7 million and prepaid expenses of $12.6$15.2 million.

Debt Agreement

Revolving Credit Facility. On November 2, 2018, OLLC, as borrower, entered into the Revolving Credit Facility (as amended and supplemented to date) with Bank of Montreal,. KeyBank serves as the administrative agent. Our borrowing base under our Revolving Credit Facility is subject to redetermination on at least a semi-annual basis primarily based on a reserve engineering report.


On June 16, 2021, the Company completed its scheduled semi-annual borrowing base redetermination process, pursuant to which the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility was decreased from $260.0 million to $245.0 million. Additionally, the administrative agent under the Revolving Credit Facility agreement was changed from Bank of Montreal to KeyBank.

As of June 30, 2021,2022, we had approximately $10.0 million of available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. See

As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all the financial (current ratio and total leverage ratio) and non-financial covenants associated with our Revolving Credit Facility.

On June 20, 2022, OLLC entered into the Sixth Amendment. The Sixth Amendment amends the Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things:

terminate the automatic monthly reductions of the borrowing base;
reaffirm the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility at $225.0 million; and
modify the affirmative hedging covenant.
