 and $0.56 per boe lower, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, with the overall increase due to higher production and well count. The per boe decrease was the result of a broad cost reduction initiative in 2024 resulting in cost improvements in most expense categories including surface repair and maintenance, contract labor, equipment rentals, and fluid hauling.

Gathering, transportation and processing (“GTP”) costs are costs incurred to deliver oil, natural gas, and NGLs to the market. These expenses can vary based on the volume of oil, natural gas, and NGLs produced as well as the cost of commodity processing. The GTP costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $6.4 million, and $0.61 per boe, higher than the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to higher production and natural gas and NGL prices. In addition, as a result of changes to certain processing contracts, a higher portion of Magnolia’s GTP costs is recognized as expense as compared to a reduction to Magnolia’s natural gas and NGL revenues between periods.

Taxes other than income include production, ad valorem, and franchise taxes. These taxes are based on rates primarily established by state and local taxing authorities. Production taxes are based on the market value of production. Ad valorem taxes are based on the fair market value of the mineral interests or business assets. Taxes other than income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $2.2 million higher, and $0.01 per boe lower, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in production taxes as a result of the increase in natural gas and NGL revenues.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $8.8 million higher, and $0.40 per boe lower, than the three months ended March 31, 2024. Increased production increased overall DD&A, and an increase in oil and natural gas reserves decreased DD&A per boe.

General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) during the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $1.0 million higher, and $0.22 per boe lower, than the three months ended March 31, 2024. G&A increased due to an increase in fees, licenses
