GLOSSARY OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS TERMS
The following is a glossary of certain oil and natural gas industry terms that are used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “report”):
Argus WTI Houston
Grade of oil that serves as a benchmark price for oil at Houston, Texas.
Argus WTI Midland
Grade of oil that serves as a benchmark price for oil at Midland, Texas.
Basin
A large depression on the earth’s surface in which sediments accumulate.
Bbl or barrel
One stock tank barrel, or 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume, used in this report in reference to crude oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.
BO/d
One barrel of crude oil per day.
BOE
One barrel of oil equivalent, with six thousand cubic feet of natural gas being equivalent to one barrel of oil.
BOE/d
BOE per day.
Brent
A major trading classification of light sweet oil that serves as a benchmark price for oil worldwide.
Completion
The process of treating a drilled well followed by the installation of permanent equipment for the production of natural gas or oil, or in the case of a dry hole, the reporting of abandonment to the appropriate agency.
Henry Hub
Natural gas gathering point that serves as a benchmark price for natural gas futures on the NYMEX.
Horizontal wells
Wells drilled directionally horizontal to allow for development of structures not reachable through traditional vertical drilling mechanisms.
MBbl
One thousand barrels of crude oil and other liquid hydrocarbons.
MBOE
One thousand BOE.
MBOE/d
One thousand BOE per day.
Mcf
One thousand cubic feet of natural gas.
Mineral interests
The interests in ownership of the resource and mineral rights, giving an owner the right to profit from the extracted resources.
MMBtu
One million British Thermal Units.
MMcf
Million cubic feet of natural gas.
Net acres
The sum of the fractional working interest owned in gross acres.
Oil and natural gas properties
Tracts of land consisting of properties to be developed for oil and natural gas resource extraction.
Proved reserves
The estimated quantities of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be commercially recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.
Reserves
The 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 the market and all permits and financing required to implement the project. Reserves are not 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 natural gas and/or crude oil that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is separate from other reservoirs.
Royalty interest
An interest that gives an owner the right to receive a portion of the resources or revenues without having to carry any costs of development, which may be subject to expiration.
Waha Hub
Natural gas gathering point that serves as a benchmark price for natural gas at western Texas and New Mexico.
Working interest
An operating interest that gives the owner the right to drill, produce and conduct operating activities on the property and receive a share of production and requires the owner to pay a share of the costs of drilling and production operations.
WTI
West Texas Intermediate, a light sweet blend of oil produced from fields in western Texas and is a grade of oil that serves as a benchmark for oil on the NYMEX.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Various statements contained in this report are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our: future performance; business strategy; future operations (including drilling plans and capital plans); estimates and projections of revenues, losses, costs, expenses, returns, cash flow and financial position; reserve estimates and our ability to replace or increase reserves; anticipated benefits of strategic transactions (including acquisitions and divestitures); and plans and objectives of management (including plans for future cash flow from operations and for executing environmental strategies) are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, the words “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “model,” “outlook,” “plan,” “positioned,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions (including the negative of such terms) as they relate to the Company are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. In particular, the factors discussed in this report and detailed under
Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors
in this report and our
Annual Report on Form 10–K
for the year ended December 31, 2023 could affect our actual results and cause our actual results to differ materially from expectations, estimates or assumptions expressed, forecasted or implied in such forward-looking statements. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Factors that could cause our outcomes to differ materially include (but are not limited to) the following:
•
changes in supply and demand levels for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, and the resulting impact on the price for those commodities;
•
the impact of public health crises, including epidemic or pandemic diseases and any related company or government policies or actions;
•
actions taken by the members of OPEC and Russia affecting the production and pricing of oil, as well as other domestic and global political, economic, or diplomatic developments;
•
changes in general economic, business or industry conditions, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and inflation rates, instability in the financial sector;
•
regional supply and demand factors, including delays, curtailment delays or interruptions of production, or governmental orders, rules or regulations that impose production limits;
•
federal and state legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing, including the effect of existing and future laws and governmental regulations;
•
physical and transition risks relating to climate change;
•
restrictions on the use of water, including limits on the use of produced water and a moratorium on new produced water well permits recently imposed by the Texas Railroad Commission in an effort to control induced seismicity in the Permian Basin;
•
significant declines in prices for oil, natural gas, or natural gas liquids, which could require recognition of significant impairment charges;
•
changes in U.S. energy, environmental, monetary and trade policies;
•
conditions in the capital, financial and credit markets, including the availability and pricing of capital for drilling and development operations and our environmental and social responsibility projects;
•
challenges with employee retention and an increasingly competitive labor market;
•
changes in availability or cost of rigs, equipment, raw materials, supplies, oilfield services;
•
changes in safety, health, environmental, tax and other regulations or requirements (including those addressing air emissions, water management, or the impact of global climate change);
•
security threats, including cybersecurity threats and disruptions to our business and operations from breaches of our information technology systems, or from breaches of information technology systems of third parties with whom we transact business;
•
lack of, or disruption in, access to adequate and reliable transportation, processing, storage and other facilities for our oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids;
•
failures or delays in achieving expected reserve or production levels from existing and future oil and natural gas developments, including due to operating hazards, drilling risks, or the inherent uncertainties in predicting reserve and reservoir performance;
iv
Table of Contents
•
difficulty in obtaining necessary approvals and permits;
•
severe weather conditions;
•
acts of war or terrorist acts and the governmental or military response thereto;
•
changes in the financial strength of counterparties to our credit agreement and hedging contracts;
•
changes in our credit rating;
•
risks related to the pending Endeavor Acquisition (as defined below); and
•
other risks and factors disclosed in this report.
In light of these factors, the events anticipated by our forward-looking statements may not occur at the time anticipated or at all. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment and new risks emerge from time to time. We cannot predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by any forward-looking statements we may make. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements made in this report. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report or, if earlier, as of the date they were made. We do not intend to, and disclaim any obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking statements unless required by applicable law.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization and Description of the Business
Diamondback Energy, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Diamondback” or the “Company” unless the context otherwise requires), is an independent oil and natural gas company currently focused on the acquisition, development, exploration and exploitation of unconventional, onshore oil and natural gas reserves primarily in the Permian Basin in West Texas.
As of June 30, 2024, the wholly owned subsidiaries of Diamondback include Diamondback E&P LLC (“Diamondback E&P”), a Delaware limited liability company, Rattler Midstream GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Rattler Midstream LP, a Delaware limited partnership and QEP Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
Viper Conversion to Corporate Structure
On November 13, 2023, the Company’s publicly traded subsidiary, Viper Energy Partners LP, completed its conversion from a Delaware limited partnership into a Delaware corporation, Viper Energy, Inc. (“Viper”) (the “Viper Conversion”). At the time of the Viper Conversion, each of the Company’s common units representing limited partnership interest in Viper Energy Partners, LP was converted, on a unit-for-unit basis, into
one
issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A common stock of Viper Energy, Inc., and each of the Company’s Class B units representing a limited partnership interest in Viper Energy Partners, LP was converted, on a unit-for-unit basis, into
one
issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable share of Class B common stock of Viper. At the time of the Conversion, Viper was a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq rules as the Company owned more than 50% of the voting power of Viper’s common stock.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries after all significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company has
one
reportable segment, the upstream segment.
On October 31, 2023, pursuant to a common unit purchase and sale agreement entered into on September 4, 2023, Viper issued approximately
7.22
million of its common units, which were converted to shares of Viper Class A common stock at the time of the Viper Conversion, to the Company at a price of $
27.72
per unit for total consideration to Viper of approximately $
200
million. On March 5, 2024, the Company exercised certain of its demand rights, pursuant to a registration rights agreement initially entered into on June 23, 2014, as amended and restated on May 9, 2018 and November 10, 2023, and on March 8, 2024, completed a public offering of approximately
13.23
million of Viper’s Class A common stock at a price of $
35.00
per share for proceeds, net of underwriters’ discount, of approximately $
451
million. After this offering, the Company owned less than
50
% of Viper’s combined outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock, resulting in Viper no longer being a controlled company under the Nasdaq rules. However, the Company determined that it still controls the activities of Viper in accordance with the guidance for variable interest entities in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810— “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”) and therefore continues to consolidate Viper in the Company’s financial statements at June 30, 2024. See further discussion of the Company’s determination that Viper is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in Note 2—
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
. The results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interest in Viper are presented within equity and net income and are shown separately from the equity and net income attributable to the Company. As of June 30, 2024, the Company owned approximately
48
% of Viper’s combined outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock.
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. They reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods, on a basis consistent with the annual audited financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information, accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. This Quarterly Report on Form 10–Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent
Annual Report on Form 10–K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which contains a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures.

Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had an immaterial effect on the previously reported total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity, results of operations or cash flows.
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
Certain amounts included in or affecting the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures must be estimated by management, requiring certain assumptions to be made with respect to values or conditions that cannot be known with certainty at the time the condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts the Company reports for assets and liabilities and the Company’s disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Making accurate estimates and assumptions is particularly difficult in the oil and natural gas industry given the challenges resulting from volatility in oil and natural gas prices. For instance, the war in Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war, higher interest rates, global supply chain disruptions, recent measures to combat persistent inflation and instability in the financial sector have contributed to recent economic and pricing volatility. The financial results of companies in the oil and natural gas industry have been impacted materially as a result of these events and changing market conditions. Such circumstances generally increase uncertainty in the Company’s accounting estimates, particularly those involving financial forecasts.
The Company evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis, using historical experience, consultation with experts and other methods the Company considers reasonable in the particular circumstances. Nevertheless, actual results may differ significantly from the Company’s estimates. Any effects on the Company’s business, financial position or results of operations resulting from revisions to these estimates are recorded in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves and related present value estimates of future net cash flows therefrom, the carrying value of oil and natural gas properties, fair value estimates of derivative instruments, the fair value determination of acquired assets and liabilities assumed and estimates of income taxes, including deferred tax valuation allowances.
Variable Interest Entity
Viper is a publicly traded corporation formed by the Company in 2014 to provide an attractive return to its stockholders (the largest of which is Diamondback) by focusing on business results, maximizing dividends through organic growth and pursuing accretive growth opportunities through acquisitions of mineral, royalty, overriding royalty, net profits and similar interests from the Company and from third parties. Viper has no employees and the Company provides management, operating and administrative services to Viper under a services and secondment agreement, including the services of the executive officers and other employees.
In connection with the reduction of the Company’s ownership percentage in Viper to below
50
% in March 2024, the Company re-evaluated whether Viper should continue to be consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. Viper meets the definition of a VIE under ASC 810 and the Company continues to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE through its ability, via existing contractual agreements, to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of Viper. The Company also has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that could be significant to Viper. As such, the Company will continue to consolidate the activity of Viper.
Viper maintains its own capital structure that is separate from the Company. The Company is not under any obligation to provide additional financial support or investment to Viper. Viper’s assets cannot be used by the Company for general corporate purposes, and the creditors of Viper’s liabilities do not have recourse to the Company’s assets. The assets and liabilities of Viper are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and disclosed parenthetically, if material.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Pronouncements
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, “Leases (Topic 842) – Common Control Arrangements.” This update (i) requires all lessees that are a party to a lease between entities under common control in which there are leasehold improvements to record amortization over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group, regardless of the lease term, and (ii) requires leasehold improvements to be accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity if, and when, the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. The Company adopted this update effective January 1, 2024 by electing to apply the guidance in ASU 2023-01 prospectively to all new leasehold improvements recognized on or after January 1, 2024. As such, the adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures. Adoption of the update will not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires that certain information in a reporting entity’s tax rate reconciliation be disaggregated and provides additional requirements regarding income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures. Adoption of the update will not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed above were assessed and determined to be either not applicable, previously disclosed, or not material upon adoption.

ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
2024 Activity
See Note 16—
Endeavor Energy Resources, LP Acquisition
for details on the previously announced plan of merger. The Company had no other material acquisition or divestiture activity during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
2023 Activity
Acquisitions
GRP Acquisition
On November 1, 2023, Viper and Viper LLC acquired certain mineral and royalty interests from Royalty Asset Holdings, LP, Royalty Asset Holdings II, LP and Saxum Asset Holdings, LP and affiliates of Warwick Capital Partners and GRP Energy Capital (collectively, “GRP”), pursuant to a definitive purchase and sale agreement for approximately
9.02
million Viper common units and $
750
million in cash, including transactions costs and subject to customary post-closing adjustments (the “GRP Acquisition”). The mineral and royalty interests acquired in the GRP Acquisition represent
4,600
net royalty acres in the Permian Basin, plus an additional
2,700
net royalty acres in other major basins. The cash consideration for the GRP Acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand and held in escrow, borrowings under the Viper credit agreement, proceeds from Viper’s offering of $
400
million in aggregate principal amount of its
7.375
% Senior Notes due in 2031 and proceeds from the $
200
million common unit issuance to the Company.
Lario Acquisition
On January 31, 2023, the Company closed on its acquisition of all leasehold interests and related assets of Lario Permian, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lario Oil and Gas Company, and certain associated sellers (collectively “Lario”). The acquisition included approximately
25,000
gross (
16,000
net) acres in the Midland Basin and certain related oil and gas assets (the “Lario Acquisition”), in exchange for
4.33
million shares of the Company’s common stock and $
814
million in cash, including certain customary post-closing adjustments. Approximately $
113
million of the cash consideration was deposited in an indemnity holdback escrow account at closing to be distributed upon satisfactory settlement of any potential title defects on the acquired properties. The Company released the full amount of the indemnity holdback to Lario during the first quarter of 2024. The cash portion of the consideration for the Lario Acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand, a
9

portion of the net proceeds from the Company’s offering of
6.250

Purchase Price Allocation
The Lario Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method. The following table represents the allocation of the total purchase price paid in the Lario Acquisition to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on the fair values at the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation was completed in December 2023.
The following table sets forth the Company’s purchase price allocation (in millions):

Amount attributable to assets acquired
1,484
Net assets acquired and liabilities assumed
$
1,447
Oil and natural gas properties were valued using an income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method, which takes into account production forecasts, projected commodity prices and pricing differentials, and estimates of future capital and operating costs which were then discounted utilizing an estimated weighted-average cost of capital for industry market participants. The fair value of acquired midstream assets, vehicles and a field office were based on the cost approach, which utilized asset listings and cost records with consideration for the reported age, condition, utilization and economic support of the assets and were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Other property, equipment and land.” The majority of the measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and are therefore considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
With the completion of the Lario Acquisition, the Company acquired proved properties of $
924
million and unproved properties of $
536
million.
Divestitures
Divestiture of Deep Blue Water Assets and Deep Blue Formation
On September 1, 2023, the Company closed on a joint venture agreement with Five Point Energy LLC (“Five Point”) to form Deep Blue Midland Basin LLC (“Deep Blue”). At closing, the Company contributed certain treated water, fresh water and saltwater disposal assets (the “Deep Blue Water Assets”) with a net carrying value of $
702
million, including certain post-closing adjustments, and Five Point contributed $
251
million in cash to Deep Blue. In exchange for these contributions, Deep

Blue issued the Company a one-time cash distribution of approximately $

% equity ownership and voting interest.
Additionally, under a separate agreement with Deep Blue, the Company continued to operate the Deep Blue Water Assets on a short-term basis. Five Point agreed to pay the Company approximately $
47
million upon the successful transfer of operations to Deep Blue and the Company recorded approximately $
43
million as a contingent consideration receivable on the closing date based on the assessed probability of earning the additional consideration. Upon the successful transfer of operations in June 2024, the Company received the full contingent consideration amount of $
47
million.
The Company recorded its
30
% equity interest in Deep Blue at fair value based on the cash consideration contributed by Five Point to Deep Blue in exchange for its
70
% equity ownership and the estimated fair value of contingent consideration to be contributed by Five Point in future years. The Company’s equity method investment in Deep Blue had an initial fair value of $
126
million. The Company’s proportionate share of the income or loss from Deep Blue will be recognized on a two-month lag. The Company has recognized an aggregate $
13
million loss on the sale of its Deep Blue Water Assets, of which approximately $
1
million was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The loss on the sale of Deep Blue Water Assets is included in the caption “Other operating expenses” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The majority of measurements utilized to determine the fair value amounts reported above relating to this transaction are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and are therefore considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
The Company and Five Point currently anticipate collectively contributing $
500
million in follow-on capital to fund future growth projects and acquisitions.
As part of the transaction, the Company also entered into a
15-year
dedication with Deep Blue for its produced water and supply water within a
12
-county area of mutual interest in the Midland Basin. See Note 7—
Related Party Transactions
for further discussion of transactions with Deep Blue.
OMOG Divestiture
On July 28, 2023, the Company divested its
43
% limited liability company interest in OMOG JV LLC (“OMOG”) for $
225
million in cash received at closing. This divestiture resulted in a gain on the sale of equity method investments of approximately $
35
million. The Company used its net proceeds from this transaction for debt reduction and other general corporate purposes.
Non-Core Assets Divestiture
On April 28, 2023, the Company divested non-core assets to an unrelated third-party buyer consisting of approximately
19,000
net acres in Glasscock County, TX for net cash proceeds at closing of $
269
million, including customary post-closing adjustments. The Company used its net proceeds from this transaction for debt reduction and other general corporate purposes.
On March 31, 2023, the Company divested non-core assets consisting of approximately
4,900
net acres in Ward and Winkler counties to unrelated third-party buyers for $
72
million in net cash proceeds, including customary post-closing adjustments.
The divestitures of non-core oil and gas assets did not result in a significant alteration of the relationship between the Company’s capitalized costs and proved reserves and, accordingly, the Company recorded the proceeds as a reduction of its full cost pool with
no
gain or loss recognized on the sale.
Gray Oak Divestiture
On January 9, 2023, the Company divested its
10
% non-operating equity investment in Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC (“Gray Oak”) for $
172
million in net cash proceeds and recorded a gain on the sale of equity method investments of approximately $
53
million, which is included in the caption “Other income (expense), net” on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Under the full cost method of accounting, the Company is required to perform a ceiling test each quarter which determines a limit, or ceiling, on the book value of proved oil and natural gas properties.
No
impairment expense was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023 based on the results of the respective quarterly ceiling tests.
In addition to commodity prices, the Company’s production rates, levels of proved reserves, future development costs, transfers of unevaluated properties and other factors will determine its actual ceiling test calculation and impairment analysis in future periods. If the future trailing 12-month commodity prices decline as compared to the commodity prices used in prior quarters, the Company may have material write downs in subsequent quarters. It is possible that circumstances requiring additional impairment testing will occur in future interim periods, which could result in potentially material impairment charges being recorded.

Credit Agreement
On March 6, 2024, Diamondback E&P, as borrower, and Diamondback Energy, Inc., as parent guarantor, entered into a fourteenth amendment to the existing credit agreement, which upon consummation of the pending Endeavor Acquisition (as defined in Note 16—

Term Loan Agreement
In connection with the pending Endeavor Acquisition (as defined in Note 16—
Endeavor Energy Resources, LP Acquisition
), Diamondback Energy, Inc., as guarantor, entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement with Diamondback E&P LLC, as borrower, and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Term Loan Agreement”) on February 29, 2024.
The Term Loan Agreement provides the Company with the ability to borrow up to $
1.5
billion, which is comprised of $
1
billion of Tranche A Loans and $
500
million of Tranche B Loans (collectively, the “Term Loans”) on an unsecured basis to pay a portion of the cash consideration for the pending Endeavor Acquisition (as defined in Note 16—
Endeavor Energy Resources, LP Acquisition
), repay certain debt of Endeavor or pay fees, costs and expenses related to the acquisition. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had
no
outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement and $
1.5
billion available for future borrowings.
The availability of the Term Loans, which have not yet been funded, is subject to the satisfaction of certain limited customary acquisition-financing conditions under the Term Loan Agreement. The Term Loans will be made in a single borrowing on the date of closing of the pending Endeavor Acquisition (as defined in Note 16—
Endeavor Energy Resources, LP Acquisition
) (the “Closing Date”) and will mature and be payable in full, in the case of the Tranche A Loans, on the first anniversary of the Closing Date and, in the case of the Tranche B Loans, on the second anniversary of the Closing Date.
Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate elected by the Company that is equal to (i) term SOFR plus
0.10
% (“Adjusted Term SOFR”) or (ii) an alternate base rate (which is equal to the greatest of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus
0.50
%, and 1-month Adjusted Term SOFR plus
1.0
%), in each case plus the applicable margin. After giving effect to the amendment, (i) the applicable margin ranges from
0.125
% to
1.000
% and
0.250
% to
1.125
% for Tranche A and Tranche B, respectively, per annum in the case of the alternate base rate, and from
1.125
% to
2.000
% and
1.250
% to
2.125
% for Tranche A and Tranche B, respectively, per annum in the case of Adjusted Term SOFR, in each case based on the pricing level, and (ii) the commitment fee is equal to
0.125
% per annum on the aggregate principal amount of the commitments. The pricing level depends on the Company’s long-term senior unsecured debt ratings.
Bridge Facility
On February 11, 2024, in connection with the pending Endeavor Acquisition (as defined in Note 16—
Endeavor Energy Resources, LP Acquisition
), Diamondback Energy, Inc., as guarantor, obtained commitments of $
8.0
billion to a 364-day senior unsecured term loan facility with Diamondback E&P LLC, as borrower, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as administrative agent (the “Bridge Facility”). The Bridge Facility was reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of the Term Loan Agreement to $
6.5
billion on February 29, 2024 and was further reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of the April 2024 Notes (as defined below) to $
1.0
billion. The undrawn Bridge Facility was terminated on June 4, 2024. The Company recorded additional interest expense of $
19
million and $
28
million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, related to the amortization and write-off of debt issuance costs incurred for the Bridge Facility.
Issuance of Notes
On April 18, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of $
5.5
billion in senior notes, consisting of (i) $
850
million aggregate principal amount of
5.200

850
million aggregate principal amount of
5.150
% Senior Notes due January 30, 2030 (the “2030 Notes”), (iii) $

5.400
% Senior Notes due April 18, 2034 (the “2034 Notes”), (iv) $
1.5

5.750
% Senior Notes due April 18, 2054 (the “2054 Notes”), and (v) $

5.900
% Senior Notes due April 18, 2064 (the “2064 Notes” and together with the 2027 Notes, the 2030 Notes the 2034 Notes and the 2054 Notes, the “April 2024 Notes”). The Company received net proceeds of $
5.5
billion, including discounts and underwriter fees. Interest on the 2030 Notes is payable semi-annually on January 30 and July 30 of each year, beginning on July 30, 2024. Interest on each other series of notes will be payable semi-annually on April 18 and October 18 of each year, beginning on October 18, 2024.

Stock Repurchase Program
The Company’s board of directors has approved a common stock repurchase program to acquire up to $
4.0
billion of the Company’s outstanding common stock, excluding excise tax. Purchases under the repurchase program may be made from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, and are subject to market conditions, applicable regulatory and legal requirements, contractual obligations and other factors. The repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares. This repurchase program may be suspended from time to time, modified, extended or discontinued by the board of directors at any time. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had
no
repurchases of common stock under the repurchase program. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased, excluding excise tax, approximately $
42
million, $
321
million and $

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company’s earnings (loss) per share amounts have been computed using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation proportional to the respective ownership among holders of common stock and participating securities. Basic earnings (loss) per share amounts have been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share include the effect of potentially dilutive non-participating securities outstanding for the period. Additionally, the per share earnings of Viper are included in the consolidated earnings per share computation based on the consolidated group’s holdings of the subsidiaries.
A reconciliation of the components of basic and diluted earnings per common share is presented in the table below:

EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
Under the Equity Plan approved by the board of directors, the Company is authorized to issue up to
11.8
million shares of incentive and non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, performance awards and stock appreciation rights to eligible employees. The Company currently has outstanding restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units under the Equity Plan. At June 30, 2024, approximately
4.7
million shares of common stock remain available for future grants under the Equity Plan. The Company classifies its restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units as equity-based awards and estimates the fair values of restricted stock awards and units as the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of the award, which is expensed over the applicable vesting period.
In addition to the Equity Plan, Viper maintains its own long-term incentive plan, which is not significant to the Company.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested performance based restricted stock awards and units was $
57
million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
1.8
years.
In March 2024, eligible employees received performance restricted stock unit awards totaling
110,989
units from which a minimum of
0
% and a maximum of
200
% of the units could be awarded based upon the measurement of total stockholder return of the Company’s common stock as compared to a designated peer group during the
three-year
performance period of January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026 and cliff vest at December 31, 2026 subject to continued employment. The initial payout of the March 2024 awards will be further adjusted by a TSR modifier that may reduce the payout or increase the payout up to a maximum of
250
%.
The fair value of each performance restricted stock unit issuance is estimated at the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation, which results in an expected percentage of units to be earned during the performance period.
The following table presents a summary of the grant-date fair values of performance restricted stock units granted and the related assumptions for the awards granted during the periods presented:

Total income tax expense from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 differed from amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to pre-tax income primarily due to (i) state income taxes, net of federal benefit, and (ii) the impact of permanent differences between book and taxable income.
As of June 30, 2024, Viper maintained a partial valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, based on its assessment of all available evidence, both positive and negative, supporting realizability of Viper’s deferred tax assets.
In connection with the Company’s public offering of Viper’s Class A common stock and resulting change of ownership in Viper in March 2024, the Company recorded a $
36
million increase in tax payable and a $
3
million increase in deferred tax liability through paid in capital and an $
18
million increase in the deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance, through non-controlling interest on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Based on application of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 guidance, the Company’s income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was not impacted by the corporate alternative minimum tax.
The Company has not incurred any excise tax on its share repurchases, net of share issuances, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

DERIVATIVES
At June 30, 2024, the Company has commodity derivative contracts and interest rate swaps outstanding. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value.
Commodity Contracts
The Company has entered into multiple crude oil and natural gas derivatives, indexed to the respective indices as noted in the table below, to reduce price volatility associated with certain of its oil and natural gas sales. The Company has not designated its commodity derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes and, as a result, marks its commodity derivative instruments to fair value and recognizes the cash and non-cash changes in fair value in the condensed consolidated statements of operations under the caption “Gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net.”
By using derivative instruments to economically hedge exposure to changes in commodity prices, the Company exposes itself to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the Company, which creates credit risk. The Company has entered into commodity derivative instruments only with counterparties that are also lenders under its credit facility and have been deemed an acceptable credit risk. As such, collateral is not required from either the counterparties or the Company on its outstanding commodity derivative contracts.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had the following outstanding commodity derivative contracts. When aggregating multiple contracts, the weighted average contract price is disclosed.

Interest Rate Swaps and Treasury Locks
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company has
two
receive-fixed, pay variable interest rate swap agreements for notional amounts of $
600
million which are considered economic hedges of the Company’s $
1.2
billion
3.50
% fixed rate senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). The Company receives a fixed
3.50
% rate of interest on these swaps and pays the variable rate of SOFR plus
2.1865
%. The interest rate swaps are not treated as hedges for accounting purposes and, as a result, changes in fair value are recorded in earnings under the caption “Gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The interest rate swaps were designated as fair value hedges at inception, but the Company subsequently elected to discontinue hedge accounting. The cumulative fair value basis adjustment recorded at the time of dedesignation is being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the 2029 Notes utilizing the effective interest method. See Note 8—
Debt
for further details.
Treasury Locks
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company entered into certain treasury lock contracts to reduce the forecasted interest rate risk associated with the issuance of the April 2024 Notes. The treasury locks were terminated and settled upon issuance of the April 2024 Notes with a loss of $
25
million recognized in the caption “Gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net” on the condensed consolidated income statement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Balance Sheet Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Liabilities
The fair value of derivative instruments is generally determined using established index prices and other sources which are based upon, among other things, futures prices and time to maturity. These fair values are recorded by netting asset and liability positions, including any deferred premiums that are with the same counterparty and are subject to contractual terms which provide for net settlement. See Note 13—
Fair Value Measurements
for further details.

The fair values of the Company’s credit agreement and the Viper credit agreement approximate their carrying values based on borrowing rates available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the outstanding notes were determined using the quoted market price at each period end, a Level 1 classification in the fair value hierarchy.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in certain circumstances. These assets and liabilities can include those acquired in a business combination, inventory, proved and unproved oil and gas properties, equity method investments, asset retirement obligations and other long-lived assets that are written down to fair value when they are impaired or held for sale. Refer to Note 4—
Acquisitions and Divestitures
and Note 5—
Property and Equipment
for additional discussion of nonrecurring fair value adjustments.
Fair Value of Financial Assets
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, payables and other accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a party to various routine legal proceedings, disputes and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business, including those that arise from interpretation of federal and state laws and regulations affecting the crude oil and natural gas industry, personal injury claims, title disputes, royalty disputes, contract claims, employment claims, claims alleging violations of antitrust laws, contamination claims relating to oil and natural gas exploration and development and environmental claims, including claims involving assets previously sold to third parties and no longer part of the Company’s current operations. While the ultimate outcome of the pending proceedings, disputes or claims and any resulting impact on the Company, cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company’s management believes that none of these matters, if ultimately decided adversely, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company’s assessment is based on information known about the pending matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. Actual outcomes could differ materially from the Company’s assessment. The Company records accrued liabilities for contingencies related to outstanding legal proceedings, disputes or claims when information available indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Environmental Matters
The United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, ordered several oil and gas operators, including a corporate predecessor of Energen Corporation, to perform decommissioning and reclamation activities related to a Louisiana offshore oil and gas production platform and related facilities. In response to the insolvency of the operator of record, the government ordered the former operators and/or alleged former lease record title owners to decommission the platform and related facilities. The Company has agreed to an arrangement with other operators to contribute to a trust to fund the decommissioning costs, however, the Company’s portion of such costs are not expected to be material.
Several coastal Louisiana parishes and the State of Louisiana have filed numerous lawsuits under Louisiana’s State and Local Coastal Resources Management Act (“SLCRMA”) against numerous oil and gas producers seeking damages for coastal erosion in or near oil fields located within Louisiana’s coastal zone. The Company is a defendant in
three
of these cases, and Plaintiffs’ claims against the Company relate to the prior operations of entities previously acquired by Energen Corporation. The Company has exercised contractual indemnification rights where applicable. Plaintiffs’ SLCRMA theories are unprecedented, and there remains significant uncertainty about the claims (both as to scope and damages). Although the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, the Company believes the claims lack merit and intends to continue vigorously defending these lawsuits.
16.
ENDEAVOR ENERGY RESOURCES, LP ACQUISITION
On February 11, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Eclipse Merger Sub I, LLC, Eclipse Merger Sub II, LLC, Endeavor Manager, LLC (solely or purposes of certain sections set forth therein), and Endeavor Parent, LLC (“Endeavor”), to acquire Endeavor (the “Endeavor Acquisition”) for consideration consisting of a base cash amount of $
8.0
billion, subject to adjustments under the terms of the Merger Agreement, and approximately
117.27
million shares of the Company’s common stock. The pending Endeavor Acquisition is expected to close in the third or fourth quarter of 2024, subject to regulatory approvals under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the satisfaction or waiver of certain other customary closing conditions. In a special meeting held on April 26, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved the issuance of the Company’s common stock to Endeavor as consideration for the Endeavor Acquisition.
As a result of the Endeavor Acquisition, equityholders of Endeavor are expected to hold, at closing, approximately
39.5
% of the outstanding Company common stock. If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to pay a termination fee of $
1.4
billion, including if the Merger Agreement is terminated because the Company’s board of directors has changed its recommendation in respect of the stockholder proposal relating to approval of the issuance of the Company common stock in the Endeavor Acquisition.
17.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Second Quarter 2024 Dividend Declaration
On August 1, 2024, the board of directors of the Company declared a cash dividend for the second quarter of 2024 of $
2.34
per share of common stock, payable on August 22, 2024 to its stockholders of record at the close of business on August 15, 2024. The dividend consists of a base quarterly dividend of $
0.90
per share of common stock and a variable quarterly dividend of $
1.44
per share of common stock. Future base and variable dividends are at the discretion of the board of directors of the Company.
WTG Midstream Transaction
The Company owns a
25
% non-operating equity investment in Remuda Midstream Holdings LLC, referred to as the WTG joint venture. On July 15, 2024, the WTG joint venture sold its WTG Midstream LLC subsidiary (the “WTG Midstream transaction”), for which the Company received as its portion of the consideration
10.1
million common units issued by Energy Transfer LP (NYSE: ET) and $
190
million in cash, subject to customary post-close adjustments. Of the
10.1
million common units received, approximately
4.1
million is held in escrow pursuant to a separate escrow agreement. The Company is currently evaluating the financial impact that this transaction will have on its operating results for the third quarter of 2024. The Company intends to use its net proceeds from the WTG Midstream transaction to reduce debt associated with the pending Endeavor Acquisition.

Pending Endeavor Acquisition
On February 11, 2024, we entered into the Merger Agreement to acquire Endeavor for consideration consisting of a base cash amount of $8.0 billion, subject to adjustments under the terms of the Merger Agreement, and approximately 117.27 million shares of our common stock. The pending Endeavor Acquisition is expected to close in the third or fourth quarter of 2024, subject to regulatory approvals under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the satisfaction or waiver of certain other customary closing conditions. As a result of the pending Endeavor Acquisition, the Endeavor Stockholders are expected to hold, at closing, approximately 39.5% of our outstanding common stock. In a special meeting held on April 26, 2024, our stockholders approved the issuance of our common stock to Endeavor as consideration for the Endeavor Acquisition.

Commodity Prices
Prices for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids are determined primarily by prevailing market conditions. Regional and worldwide economic activity, extreme weather conditions and other substantially variable factors influence market conditions for these products. These factors are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. During the six months ended 2024 and 2023, WTI prices averaged $78.81 and $74.77 per Bbl, respectively, and Henry Hub prices averaged $2.21 and $2.54 per MMBtu, respectively.
For additional information around risks related to commodity prices, see
Part II. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Commodity Price Risk
.
Upstream Operations
Our activities are primarily directed at the horizontal development of the Wolfcamp and Spraberry formations in the Midland Basin and the Wolfcamp and Bone Spring formations in the Delaware Basin within the Permian Basin. Additionally, our publicly-traded subsidiary, Viper, is focused on owning and acquiring mineral interests and royalty interests in oil and natural gas properties primarily in the Permian Basin and derives royalty income and lease bonus income from such interests.
As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately 484,992 net acres, which primarily consisted of approximately 347,417 net acres in the Midland Basin and 137,255 net acres in the Delaware Basin.
The following table sets forth the total number of operated horizontal wells drilled and completed during the periods indicated:

Guidance
We are raising the midpoints of both total and net oil production for the full year 2024 due to production outperformance year-to-date. Additionally, we are lowering the midpoint for capital expenditures as well as increasing activity levels for the full year 2024 due to continued cost control and efficiency gains, respectively.
The following table presents our current estimates, which do not take into account the pending Endeavor Acquisition, of certain financial and operating results for the full year of 2024, as well as production and cash tax guidance for the third quarter of 2024:

Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024
As noted in “
—
Commodity Prices
,
” the markets for oil and natural gas are highly volatile and are influenced by a number of factors which can lead to significant changes in our results of operations and management’s operational strategy on a quarterly basis. Accordingly, our results of operations discussion focuses on a comparison of the current quarter’s results of operations with those of the immediately preceding quarter. We believe our discussion provides investors with a more meaningful analysis of material operational and financial changes which occurred during the quarter based on current market and operational trends.
The following table sets forth selected operating data for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024:

Oil, Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquids Revenues.
Our revenues are a function of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production volumes sold and average sales prices received for those volumes.
Our oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids revenues for the second quarter of 2024 increased by $73 million to $2.2 billion compared to the first quarter of 2024. The increase consisted of (i) an additional $35 million attributable to higher average prices received for our oil production, partially offset by declines in the average prices for our natural gas and natural gas liquids production, and (ii) an additional $38 million attributable to the 3% increase in our combined volumes sold.
Net Sales of Purchased Oil
. We have entered into purchase transactions and separate sales transactions with third parties to satisfy certain of our unused oil pipeline capacity commitments. The following table presents the net sales of purchased oil from third parties for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024:

Lease operating expenses decreased in total and on a per BOE basis for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 primarily due to a $16 million reduction in workover expense in the second quarter of 2024. This adjustment was largely offset by (i) a $7 million increase from higher production volumes, (ii) $5 million in increased spend on electrical generation and disposal related costs, and (iii) other individually insignificant changes.

In general, production taxes are directly related to production revenues and are based upon current year commodity prices. However, due to the settlement of an ongoing audit of production taxes from historical periods, the first quarter of 2024 includes a refund of $17 million, which reduced production taxes as a percentage of revenue for that period.
Ad valorem taxes are based, among other factors, on property values driven by prior year commodity prices. Ad valorem taxes remained relatively flat during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024.
Gathering, Processing and Transportation Expense.
The following table shows gathering, processing and transportation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024:

The change in gain (loss) on derivative instruments for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 primarily reflects (i) a net increase in the value of interest rate swaps of $21 million due primarily to a decrease in future SOFR rates of $48 million offset by cash paid for the semi-annual cash settlement of $27 million in June 2024, (ii) a net increase in the value of our commodity contracts of $70 million primarily due to an increase of $29 million in cash received on settlements of natural gas contracts, and lower future market prices for oil compared to our contract prices, and (iii) cash payments of $25 million to settle treasury lock contracts associated with the issuance of the April 2024 Notes.

Table of Contents
The increase in net interest expense for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 primarily consists of (i) an additional $61 million in interest expense on senior notes due to the issuance of the April 2024 Notes, and (ii) an increase of $10 million in amortization of debt issuance costs primarily related to the termination of our Bridge Facility. These increases were partially offset by an additional $63 million in interest income due to holding funds raised for the pending Endeavor Acquisition in cash in short-term interest bearing accounts during the second quarter of 2024, and $4 million due to an increase in capitalized interest costs, which reduces interest expense.

Oil, Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquids Revenues.
Our revenues are a function of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production volumes sold and average sales prices received for those volumes.
Our oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $477 million, or 13%, to $4.3 billion from the same period in 2023 primarily due to (i) an increase of $290 million attributable to the 8% growth in our combined volumes, and (ii) an additional $187 million attributable to higher average prices received for our oil production. Approximately 25% of the increase in production is attributable to Viper’s GRP Acquisition. The remainder of the growth comes from new wells added between periods.
Net Sales of Purchased Oil
. Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, we entered into purchase transactions and separate sale transactions with third parties to satisfy certain of our unused oil pipeline capacity commitments. The following table presents the net sales of purchased oil from third parties for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

In general, production taxes are directly related to production revenues and are based upon current year commodity prices. Production taxes as a percentage of production revenues for the 2024 period decreased compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to a refund of $17 million received for settlement of an audit in the first quarter of 2024.
Ad valorem taxes are based, among other factors, on property values driven by prior year commodity prices. Ad valorem taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 decreased by $49 million, primarily due to a reduction in the expected ad valorem tax rates for 2024 compared to the expected rates in the first half of 2023.
Gathering, Processing and Transportation Expense.
The following table shows gathering, processing and transportation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

The increase in gathering, processing and transportation expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 is attributable to (i) $10 million from the growth in production volumes discussed above, and (ii) an additional $6 million in shortfall penalties related to certain minimum volume commitments. The remainder of the increase is due to pricing fluctuations on our gathering, processing and transportation contracts.
Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion.

Interest expense, net decreased $10 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. This decrease primarily consisted of (i) an increase in interest income of $74 million, which reduces interest expense, (ii) an additional $29 million in capitalized interest costs, which reduce interest expense, and (iii) a decrease of $12 million in interest expense on our revolving credit facility due to lower average borrowings outstanding in the first half of 2024. These reductions were largely offset by (i) an increase of $73 million in interest expense on senior notes related primarily to the issuance of the April 2024 Notes and Viper’s 7.375% Senior Notes which were issued in the fourth quarter of 2023, and (ii) an increase of $32 million in amortization of debt issuance costs primarily related to our Bridge Facility and to a lesser extent, our Term Loans.

The change in our income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to the increase in pre-tax income resulting largely from higher revenues from oil and natural gas liquids, along with changes in operating expenses and other income (expenses) as discussed above. See Note 11—

of the condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our income tax expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview of Sources and Uses of Cash
Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have included cash flows from operations, proceeds from our public equity offerings, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, proceeds from the issuance of senior notes and sales of non-core assets. Our primary uses of capital have been for the acquisition, development and exploration of oil and natural gas properties, repayment of debt and returning capital to stockholders. At June 30, 2024, we had approximately $8.5 billion of liquidity consisting of $6.9 billion in standalone cash and cash equivalents and $1.6 billion available under our credit facility. On August 2, 2024, we terminated the undrawn $500 million Tranche B Loans previously available. As a result, in addition to our stand alone cash and credit facility, we currently have $1.0 billion available under the Tranche A Loans of our Term Loan Agreement for purposes of funding the cash consideration for the pending Endeavor Acquisition. As discussed below, our revised capital budget for 2024 is $2.35 billion to $2.45 billion, which does not take into account the pending Endeavor Acquisition. As of June 30, 2024, we have no debt maturities until 2026.
Future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including the level of oil and natural gas production and volatility of commodity prices. Further, significant additional capital expenditures will be required to more fully develop our properties. Prices for our commodities are determined primarily by prevailing market conditions, regional and worldwide economic activity, weather and other substantially variable factors. These factors are beyond our control and are difficult to predict as discussed further in
Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2023. In order to mitigate this volatility, we enter into derivative contracts with a number of financial institutions, all of which are participants in our credit facility, to economically hedge a portion of our estimated future crude oil and natural

gas production as discussed further in Note 12—
Derivatives
of the condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements and
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Commodity Price Risk
. The level of our hedging activity and duration of the financial instruments employed depend on our desired cash flow protection, available hedge prices, the magnitude of our capital program and our operating strategy.

Operating Activities
The decrease in operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily resulted from (i) an increase in our cash operating expenses, excluding purchased oil expense, of approximately $78 million, (ii) a reduction of approximately $367 million due to fluctuations in other working capital balances due primarily to the timing of when collections were made on income taxes receivable, accounts receivable and payments made on accounts payable (iii) an increase in $206 million cash paid for taxes. These were partially offset by an increase of $450 million in total revenue, excluding sales of purchased oil, and (ii) an additional $74 million in interest income. See “
—
Results of Operations
” for discussion of significant changes in our revenues and expenses.
Investing Activities
The majority of our net cash used for investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was for drilling and completion costs incurred in conjunction with our development program as well as the purchase of oil and gas properties including the Lario Acquisition in the first quarter of 2023.

Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to $5.5 billion of proceeds from the issuance of the April 2024 Notes and $451 million in proceeds from the public offering of Viper’s Class A common stock. These cash inflows were partially offset by (i) $900 million of dividends paid to stockholders, (ii) $98 million in dividends paid to non-controlling interest, (iii) $93 million of debt issuance costs primarily associated with the April 2024 Notes, Term Loan Agreement and Bridge Facility, (iv) $86 million in repayments on our credit facilities, net of borrowings, (v) $42 million of repurchases as part of the share repurchase programs, and (iv) $37 million in cash paid for tax withholdings on vested employee stock awards.
41
Table of Contents
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to (i) $710 million of repurchases as part of the share and unit repurchase programs, (ii) $692 million of dividends paid to stockholders, (iii) $134 million paid for the retirement of principal outstanding on certain senior notes, and (iv) $59 million in distributions to non-controlling interest. These cash outflows were partially offset by an additional $415 million in borrowings under credit facilities, net of repayments.
Capital Resources
Our working capital requirements are primarily supported by our cash and cash equivalents and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We may draw on our revolving credit facility to meet short-term cash requirements, or issue debt or equity securities as part of our longer-term liquidity and capital management program and to finance the pending Endeavor Acquisition. Further, the Tranche A Loans and net proceeds from the April 2024 Notes, are also available to finance the cash portion of the pending Endeavor Acquisition. Because of the alternatives available to us, we believe that our short-term and long-term liquidity are adequate to fund not only our current operations, but also our near-term and long-term capital requirements.
As we pursue our business and financial strategy, we regularly consider which capital resources, including cash flow and equity and debt financings, are available to meet our future financial obligations, planned capital expenditure activities and liquidity requirements. Our future ability to grow proved reserves and production will be highly dependent on the capital resources available to us. Any prolonged volatility in the capital, financial and/or credit markets and/or adverse macroeconomic conditions may limit our access to, or increase our cost of, capital or make capital unavailable on terms acceptable to us or at all.
Revolving Credit Facilities and Other Debt Instruments
As of June 30, 2024, our debt, including the debt of Viper, consisted of approximately $12.0 billion in aggregate outstanding principal amount of senior notes, and $177 million in aggregate outstanding borrowings under revolving credit facilities.
As of June 30, 2024, the maximum credit amount available under our credit agreement was $1.6 billion, with no outstanding borrowings and $1.6 billion available for future borrowings. Our credit agreement matures on June 2, 2028, and we may further extend it by one one-year extension pursuant to the terms set forth in the credit agreement. Upon consummation of the pending Endeavor Acquisition, the maximum credit amount available under our credit agreement will increase to $2.5 billion.
As of June 30, 2024, the maximum credit amount available under the Term Loan Agreement was $1.5 billion, with no outstanding borrowings and $1.5 billion available for future borrowings. Our Term Loan Agreement matures on the anniversary of the Closing Date for Tranche A Loans and the second anniversary of the Closing Date for Tranche B Loans. On August 2, 2024, we terminated our undrawn Tranche B Loans, resulting in $1.0 billion currently available for future borrowings under the Tranche A Loans of our Term Loan Agreement.
On June 4, 2024, we terminated our undrawn Bridge Facility and recorded additional interest expense of $19 million and $28 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, related to the amortization and write-off of debt issuance costs incurred for the Bridge Facility.
Issuance of April 2024 Notes
On April 18, 2024, we issued the April 2024 Notes for net proceeds of $5.5 billion, which will be used to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the pending Endeavor Acquisition.
Viper’s Credit Agreement
The Viper credit agreement, as amended, matures on
September 22, 2028
and provides for a revolving credit facility in the maximum credit amount of $2.0 billion, with a borrowing base of $1.3 billion and an elected commitment amount of $850 million, based on Viper LLC’s oil and natural gas reserves and other factors. As of June 30, 2024. the Viper credit agreement had $177 million of outstanding borrowings and $673 million available for future borrowings.
For additional discussion of our debt as of June 30, 2024, see Note 8—

Capital Requirements
In addition to future operating expenses and working capital commitments discussed in “
—
Transactions and Recent Developmen
ts—Upstre
am Operations
”
,
our primary short and long-term liquidity requirements, excluding those of Viper, consist primarily of (i) capital expenditures, (ii) payments of principal and interest on our revolving credit agreements and senior notes, (iii) payments of other contractual obligations, (iv) cash used to pay for dividends and repurchases of securities, and (v) the cash portion of the consideration for the pending Endeavor Acquisition.
2024 Capital Spending Plan
Our board of directors has approved an increased 2024 capital budget for drilling, midstream, infrastructure and environmental of approximately $2.35 billion to $2.45 billion, which does not take into account the pending Endeavor Acquisition. We estimate that, of these expenditures, approximately:
•
$2.15 billion to $2.23 billion will be spent primarily on drilling 275 to 290 gross (259 to 273 net) horizontal wells and completing 310 to 330 gross (285 to 304 net) horizontal wells across our operated and non-operated leasehold acreage in the Northern Midland and Southern Delaware Basins, with an average lateral length of approximately 11,800+ feet;
•
Approximately $200 million to $220 million will be spent on infrastructure and midstream expenditures, excluding the cost of any leasehold and mineral interest acquisitions.
The amount and timing of our capital expenditures are largely discretionary and within our control. We could choose to defer a portion of these planned capital expenditures depending on a variety of factors, including but not limited to the success of our drilling activities, prevailing and anticipated prices for oil and natural gas, the availability of necessary equipment, infrastructure and capital, the receipt and timing of required regulatory permits and approvals, seasonal conditions, drilling and acquisition costs and the level of participation by other interest owners. We are currently operating 10 drilling rigs and three completion crews. We will continue monitoring commodity prices and overall market conditions and can adjust our rig cadence and our capital expenditure budget in response to changes in commodity prices and overall market conditions.
Interest on April 2024 Notes
On April 18, 2024, we issued $5.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of the April 2024 Notes, as discussed further in Note 8—
Debt
. As a result, we expect to incur additional future cash interest costs on the April 2024 Notes of approximately $152 million in 2024, $607 million cumulatively in the years from 2025 through 2026, $541 million cumulatively in the years from 2027 and 2028, and $4.7 billion cumulatively between 2029 and 2064.
Return of Capital Commitment
Beginning in the first quarter of 2024, our board of directors has approved a return of capital commitment of at least 50% from 75% of free cash flow to our stockholders through repurchases under our share repurchase program, base dividends and variable dividends. The remainder of our free cash flow will be used primarily to reduce debt. On August 1, 2024, our board of directors declared a combined base and variable dividend for the second quarter of 2024 of $2.34 per share of common stock.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. As used by us, free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital in excess of cash capital expenditures and other adjustments as determined by us. We believe that free cash flow is useful to investors as it provides a measure to compare both cash flow from operating activities and additions to oil and natural gas properties across periods on a consistent basis.
Since the inception of the stock repurchase program, we repurchased an aggregate of 19.3 million shares of our common stock for a total cost of $2.4 billion, excluding excise tax, as of August 2, 2024. Subject to regulatory restrictions and other factors discussed elsewhere in this report, we intend to continue to purchase shares under this repurchase program opportunistically with available funds primarily from cash flow from operations and liquidity events such as the sale of assets while maintaining sufficient liquidity to fund our capital expenditure programs, however, the stock repurchase program is at the discretion of our board of directors and can be amended, terminated or suspended at any time.

Guarantor Financial Information
Diamondback E&P is the sole guarantor under the indentures governing the outstanding Guaranteed Senior Notes.
Guarantees are “full and unconditional,” as that term is used in Regulation S-X, Rule 3-10(b)(3), except that such guarantees will be released or terminated in certain circumstances set forth in the indentures governing the Guaranteed Senior Notes, such as, with certain exceptions, (i) in the event Diamondback E&P (or all or substantially all of its assets) is sold or disposed of, (ii) in the event Diamondback E&P ceases to be a guarantor of or otherwise be an obligor under certain other indebtedness, and (iii) in connection with any covenant defeasance, legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the relevant indenture.
Diamondback E&P’s guarantees of the Guaranteed Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any of its future subordinated indebtedness, equal in right of payment with all of its existing and future senior indebtedness, including its obligations under its revolving credit facility, and effectively subordinated to any of its existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.
The rights of holders of the Guaranteed Senior Notes against Diamondback E&P may be limited under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or state fraudulent transfer or conveyance law. Each guarantee contains a provision intended to limit Diamondback E&P’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent conveyance. However, there can be no assurance as to what standard a court will apply in making a determination of the maximum liability of Diamondback E&P. Moreover, this provision may not be effective to protect the guarantee from being voided under fraudulent conveyance laws. There is a possibility that the entire guarantee may be set aside, in which case the entire liability may be extinguished.
The following tables present summarized financial information for Diamondback Energy, Inc., as the parent, and Diamondback E&P, as the guarantor subsidiary, on a combined basis after elimination of (i) intercompany transactions and balances between the parent and the guarantor subsidiary, and (ii) equity in earnings from and investments in any subsidiary that is a non-guarantor. The information is presented in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13-01 under the SEC’s Regulation S-X. The financial information may not necessarily be indicative of results of operations or financial position had the guarantor subsidiary operated as an independent entity.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Commodity Price Risk
Our major market risk exposure in our exploration and production business is in the pricing applicable to our oil and natural gas production. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and spot market prices applicable to our natural gas production. Pricing for oil and natural gas production has been volatile and unpredictable for several years. Although demand and market prices for oil and natural gas have recently increased, we cannot predict events, including the outcome of the war in Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war, higher interest rates, global supply chain disruptions that may lead to future price volatility and the near term energy outlook remains subject to heightened levels of uncertainty. Further, the prices we receive for production depend on many other factors outside of our control.
We use derivatives, including swaps, basis swaps, roll swaps, costless collars, puts and basis puts, to reduce price volatility associated with certain of our oil and natural gas sales.
At June 30, 2024, we had a net liability derivative position of $7 million related to our commodity price risk derivatives. Utilizing actual derivative contractual volumes under our commodity price derivatives as of June 30, 2024, a 10% increase in forward curves associated with the underlying commodity would have increased the net liability position by $13 million to $20 million, while a 10% decrease in forward curves associated with the underlying commodity would have decreased the net liability position by $23 million to a net asset position of $16 million. However, any cash derivative gain or loss would be substantially offset by a decrease or increase, respectively, in the actual sales value of production covered by the derivative instrument. For additional information on our open commodity derivative instruments at June 30, 2024, see Note 12—
Derivatives
of the condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Counterparty and Customer Credit Risk
Our principal exposures to credit risk are due to the concentration of receivables from the sale of our oil and natural gas production (approximately $711 million at June 30, 2024), and to a lesser extent, receivables resulting from joint interest and other receivables (approximately $93 million at June 30, 2024).
We do not require our customers to post collateral, and the failure or inability of our significant customers to meet their obligations to us due to their liquidity issues, bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation may adversely affect our financial results.
Joint operations receivables arise from billings to entities that own partial interests in the wells we operate. These entities participate in our wells primarily based on their ownership in leases on which we intend to drill. We have little ability to control whether these entities will participate in our wells.
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to market risk exposure related to changes in interest rates on our indebtedness under our revolving credit facilities and changes in the fair value of our fixed rate debt. Outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at a per annum rate elected by Diamondback E&P. At June 30, 2024, the applicable margin ranges from 0.125% to 1.000% per annum in the case of the alternate base rate, and from 1.125% to 2.000% per annum in the case of Adjusted Term SOFR, in each case based on the pricing level. The pricing level depends on certain rating agencies’ ratings of our long-term senior unsecured debt. We are obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.325% per year on the unused portion of the commitment. We believe significant interest rate changes would not have a material near-term impact on our future earnings or cash flows. For additional information on our variable interest rate debt at June 30, 2024, see Note 8—
Debt
of the condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Historically, we have at times used interest rates swaps to manage our exposure to (i) interest rate changes on our floating-rate date, and (ii) fair value changes on our fixed rate debt. At June 30, 2024, we have interest rate swap agreements for a notional amount of $1.2 billion to manage the impact of changes to the fair value of our fixed rate senior notes due to changes in market interest rates through December 2029. We pay an average variable rate of interest for these swaps based on three month SOFR plus 2.1865% and receive a fixed interest rate of 3.50% from our counterparties. At June 30, 2024, our receive-fixed, pay-variable interest rate swaps were in a net liability position of $180 million, and the weighted average variable rate

was 6.38%. For additional information on our interest rate swaps, see Note 12—

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
. Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have established disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. The disclosure controls and procedures are also intended to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
As of June 30, 2024, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are a party to various routine legal proceedings, disputes and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business, including those that arise from interpretation of federal and state laws and regulations affecting the natural gas and crude oil industry, personal injury claims, title disputes, royalty disputes, contract claims, employment claims, claims alleging violations of antitrust laws, contamination claims relating to oil and natural gas exploration and development and environmental claims, including claims involving assets previously sold to third parties and no longer part of our current operations. While the ultimate outcome of the pending proceedings, disputes or claims and any resulting impact on us, cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that none of these matters, if ultimately decided adversely, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 15—
