**Dividend to be Paid in March**

Civitas CEO Chris Doyle said, "Civitas reported outstanding results this quarter, with production coming in at the high end of our guidance range despite the cold temperatures we experienced in December. Recently, we've seen a meaningful pullback in commodity prices while service costs remain high given current utilization. As a result, we are choosing to moderate our capital spending in 2023 to maximize capital efficiency. With capital spending down year-over-year and production broadly flat, we expect to generate significant free cash flow in 2023 and return the vast majority of it to shareholders through dividends and the newly authorized share repurchase program."

**Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2022 Financial and Operating Results**

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company reported average daily sales of 169.4 MBoe/d, of which 45% was crude oil, 29% was natural gas, and 26% was natural gas liquids.

<u>Schedule 5: Adjusted Net Income</u> 

*(in thousands, except per share amounts, unaudited)*

Adjusted net income is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management to present a more comparable, recurring profitability between periods. We believe that adjusted net income provides external users of our consolidated financial statements with additional information to assist in their analysis of the Company. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income after adjusting for (1) the impact of certain non-cash items and one-time transactions and correspondingly (2) the related tax effect in each period. Adjusted net income is not a measure of net income as determined by GAAP.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income to the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted net income.

<u>Schedule 6: Adjusted EBITDAX</u>

*(in thousands, unaudited)*

Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management to provide a metric of the Company's ability to internally generate funds for exploration and development of oil and gas properties. The metric excludes items which are non-recurring in nature. We believe that adjusted EBITDAX provides external users of the our consolidated financial statements with additional information to assist in their analysis of the Company. The Company defines adjusted EBITDAX as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, impairment, exploration expenses, and other similar non-cash and non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income or cash flows as determined by GAAP.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income to the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted EBITDAX.

<u>Schedule 7: Recurring Cash G&A</u>

*(in thousands, unaudited)*

Recurring cash G&A is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management to provide only the cash portion of its G&A expense, which can be used to evaluate cost management and operating efficiency on a comparable basis from period to period. We believe that recurring cash G&A provides external users of our consolidated financial statements with additional information to assist in their analysis of the Company. The Company defines recurring cash G&A as GAAP general and administrative expense exclusive of stock-based compensation and one-time charges. The Company refers to recurring cash G&A to provide typical recurring cash G&A costs that are planned for in a given period. Recurring cash G&A is not a fully inclusive measure of general and administrative expense as determined by GAAP.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of general and administrative expense to the non-GAAP financial measure of recurring cash G&A.

<u>Schedule 8: RMI Net Effective Cost</u>

*(in thousands, unaudited)*

RMI net effective cost is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management to assess only the net cash impact RMI has on the Company's consolidated financials. We believe that the net effective cost provides external users of our consolidated financial statements with additional information to assist in their analysis of the Company. The Company defines the RMI net effective cost as GAAP midstream operating expense less revenue generated from working interest partners utilizing the RMI assets.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measures of midstream operating expense and RMI working interest partner revenue to the non-GAAP financial measure of RMI net effective cost.

<u>Schedule 9: Free Cash Flow</u>

*(in thousands, unaudited)*

Free cash flow is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities before changes in current assets and liabilities and less exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties, changes in working capital related to drilling expenditures, and purchases of carbon offsets. We believe that free cash flow provides additional information that may be useful to external users of our consolidated financial statements in evaluating our ability to generate cash from our existing oil and natural gas assets to fund future exploration and development activities and to return cash to shareholders. Free cash flow is a supplemental measure of liquidity and should not be viewed as a substitute for cash flows from operations because it excludes certain required cash expenditures.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net cash provided by operating activities to the non-GAAP financial measure of free cash flow.

<u>Schedule 10: PV-10 of Estimated Proved Reserves</u>

PV-10 is derived from the Standardized Measure, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. PV-10 is a computation of the Standardized Measure on a pre-tax basis. PV-10 is equal to the Standardized Measure at the applicable date, before deducting future income taxes, discounted at 10%. We believe that the presentation of PV-10 is relevant and useful to external users of our consolidated financial statements because it presents the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our estimated net proved reserves prior to taking into account future corporate income taxes, and it is a useful measure for evaluating the relative monetary significance of our oil and natural gas properties. Further, external users of our consolidated financial statements may utilize the measure as a basis for comparison of the relative size and value of our reserves to other companies. We use this measure when assessing the potential return on investment related to our oil and natural gas properties. PV-10, however, is not a substitute for the Standardized Measure. Our PV-10 measure and the Standardized Measure do not purport to present the fair value of our proved oil and natural gas reserves.

The following table presents a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measure of PV-10 to the GAAP Standardized Measure (in thousands).
