GLOSSARY OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS TERMS

The following are abbreviations and definitions of certain terms used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry:

Bbl. One stock tank barrel of 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume used herein in reference to crude oil, condensate or NGLs.

Bbl/d. One Bbl per day.

Boe. One barrel of oil equivalent, calculated by converting natural gas to oil equivalent barrels at a ratio of six Mcf of natural gas to one Bbl of oil. This is an energy content correlation and does not reflect a value or price relationship between the commodities.

Boe/d. One Boe per day.

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

Completion. The process of preparing an oil and gas wellbore for production through the installation of permanent production equipment, as well as perforation and fracture stimulation to optimize production.

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

Development well. A well drilled within the proved area of an oil or natural gas reservoir to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive.

Differential. An adjustment to the price of oil or natural gas from an established spot market price to reflect differences in the quality and/or location of oil or natural gas.

Exploratory well. A well drilled to find a new field or to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or natural gas in another reservoir.

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

Flush production. First yield from a flowing oil well during its most productive period after it is first completed and put on line.

Formation. A layer of rock which has distinct characteristics that differs from nearby rock.

Horizontal drilling. A drilling technique used in certain formations where a well is drilled vertically to a certain depth and then drilled at a right angle within a specified interval.

LIBOR. London Interbank Offered Rate.

MBbl. One thousand barrels of crude oil, condensate or NGLs.

MBoe. One thousand Boe.

Mcf. One thousand cubic feet of natural gas.

Mcf/d. One Mcf per day.

MMBtu. One million British thermal units.

MMcf. One million cubic feet of natural gas.

Table of Contents

NGL. Natural gas liquids. These are naturally occurring substances found in natural gas, including ethane, butane, isobutane, propane and natural gasoline, that can be collectively removed from produced natural gas, separated into these substances and sold.

NYMEX. The New York Mercantile Exchange.

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

Proved developed reserves. Reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared with the cost of a new well.

Proved reserves. The estimated quantities of oil, NGLs and natural gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be commercially recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.

Proved undeveloped reserves or PUD. Proved reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for completion or recompletion.

Realized price. The cash market price less differentials.

Recompletion. The completion for production of an existing wellbore in another formation from that which the well has been previously completed.

Reserves. Estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and natural gas or related substances to market and all permits and financing required to implement the project.

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

Royalty interest. An interest in an oil or gas property entitling the owner to shares of the production free of costs of exploration, development and production operations.

Spot market price. The cash market price without reduction for expected quality, transportation and demand adjustments.

Wellbore. The hole drilled by a drill bit that is equipped for oil and natural gas production once the well has been completed. Also called well or borehole.

Working interest. The interest in an oil and gas property (typically a leasehold interest) that gives the owner the right to drill, produce and conduct operations on the property and to a share of production, subject to all royalties and other burdens and to all costs of exploration, development and operations and all risks in connection therewith.

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

WTI. West Texas Intermediate is a grade of crude oil used as a benchmark in oil pricing.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “could,” “may,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “goal,” “plan,” “target” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Report”) and the risk factors and other cautionary statements contained in our other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Forward-looking statements may include statements about:


•	our business strategy and future drilling plans;


•	our reserves and our ability to replace the reserves we produce through drilling and property acquisitions;


•	our drilling prospects, inventories, projects and programs;


•	our financial strategy, liquidity and capital required for our development program;


•	our realized oil, natural gas and NGL prices;


•	the timing and amount of our future production of oil, natural gas and NGLs;


•	our hedging strategy and results;


•	our competition and government regulations;


•	our ability to obtain permits and governmental approvals;


•	our pending legal or environmental matters;


•	the marketing and transportation of our oil, natural gas and NGLs;


•	our leasehold or business acquisitions;


•	cost of developing our properties;


•	our anticipated rate of return;


•	general economic conditions;


•	credit markets;


•	uncertainty regarding our future operating results; and


•	our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions contained in this Quarterly Report that are not historical.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to those risks described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2018 Annual Report. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to 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 contained in any forward-looking statements we may make.

Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements we make in this Quarterly Report are reasonable, we can give no assurance that these plans, intentions or expectations will be

achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied by the forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this Quarterly Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, are made only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report.

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Centennial Resource Development, Inc. is an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the development of unconventional oil and associated liquids-rich natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin. All of the Company’s assets are concentrated exclusively in the Delaware Basin, a sub-basin of the Permian Basin, and its properties consist of large, contiguous acreage blocks primarily in Reeves County in West Texas and Lea County in New Mexico. Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, all references in these notes to “Centennial” or the “Company” are to Centennial Resource Development, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary, Centennial Resource Production, LLC (“CRP”).

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain disclosures normally included in an Annual Report on Form 10-K have been omitted. The consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Report”). Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes to the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report.

In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments and accruals considered necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s interim financial results have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary CRP, and CRP’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Noncontrolling interest represents third-party ownership in CRP, and is presented as a component of equity. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the noncontrolling interest ownership of CRP was 4.3%.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires the Company’s management to make various assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosures of commitments and contingencies. Changes in these assumptions, judgments and estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events and, accordingly, actual results could differ from amounts previously established.

The more significant areas requiring the use of assumptions, judgments and estimates include: (i) oil and natural gas reserves; (ii) cash flow estimates used in impairment tests of long-lived assets; (iii) depreciation, depletion and amortization; (iv) asset retirement obligations; (v) determining fair value and allocating purchase price in connection with business combinations and asset acquisitions; (vi) accrued revenues and related receivables; (vii) accrued liabilities; (viii) valuation of derivatives; and (ix) deferred income taxes.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to the Company’s year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various state jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more historical trend data becomes available, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which updates the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements in Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC Topic 820”). Certain disclosure requirements under ASC Topic 820 were removed, modified or added in order to improve the effectiveness of the fair value note included in the financial statements. This update will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until the effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which created ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC Topic 842”), superseding current lease requirements under ASC Topic 840, Leases. Subsequently in 2018, the FASB issued various ASUs which provide a practical expedient for the evaluation of existing land easement agreements, optionality in the adoption transition method, and additional implementation guidance. ASC Topic 842 and its related amendments apply to any entity that enters into a lease, with some specified scope exemptions. Under ASC Topic 842, a lessee should recognize in its consolidated balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. While there were no major changes to lessor accounting, changes were made to align key aspects with revenue recognition guidance. ASC Topic 842 was effective for public entities for fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.

The standard permits retrospective application using either of the following methodologies: (i) application of the new standard at the earliest presented period or (ii) application of the new standard at the adoption date with a cumulative-effect adjustment recognized to retained earnings. The Company has adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2019, the effective date, and elected to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment at the time of adoption. The Company has elected the following practical expedients that allows an entity to carry forward historical accounting treatment relating to (i) lease identification and classification for existing leases upon adoption and (ii) existing land easements. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets for existing operating leases including drilling rig contracts, office rental agreements, and other wellhead equipment. This adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Refer to Note 12—Leases for additional information.

Credit Agreement

On May 4, 2018, CRP, the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that as of June 30, 2019, had a borrowing base of $1.2 billion and elected commitments of $800.0 million. The credit agreement provides for a five-year secured revolving credit facility, maturing on May 4, 2023. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had no borrowings outstanding and $799.2 million in available borrowing capacity, which was net of $0.8 million in letters of credit outstanding.

The amount available to be borrowed under the Company’s credit agreement is equal to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base, (ii) aggregate elected commitments, or (iii) $1.5 billion. The borrowing base is redetermined semi-annually in the spring and fall by the lenders in their sole discretion. It also allows for two optional borrowing base redeterminations on January 1 and July 1. The borrowing base depends on, among other things, the quantities of CRP’s proved oil and natural gas reserves, estimated cash flows from these reserves, and the Company’s commodity hedge positions. Upon a redetermination of the borrowing base, if actual borrowings exceed the revised borrowing capacity, CRP could be required to immediately repay a portion of its debt outstanding under the credit agreement. Borrowings under CRP’s revolving credit facility are guaranteed by certain of its subsidiaries.

Borrowings under CRP’s revolving credit facility may be base rate loans or LIBOR loans. Interest is payable quarterly for base rate loans and at the end of the applicable interest period for LIBOR loans. LIBOR loans bear interest at LIBOR (adjusted for statutory reserve requirements) plus an applicable margin, which ranged from 125 to 225 basis points as of June 30, 2019, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. Base rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of: (i) the agent bank’s prime rate; (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points; and (iii) the adjusted LIBOR rate for a one-month interest period plus 100 basis points, plus an applicable margin, which ranged from 25 to 125 basis points as of June 30, 2019, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. CRP also pays a commitment fee on unused amounts under its facility of a range of 37.5 to 50 basis points. The applicable margins for the LIBOR loans and base rate loans referenced above reflect interest rate reductions that became effective on April 26, 2019 and are applicable as long as CRP’s total leverage ratio (as described below) is less than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0. If CRP’s total leverage ratio exceeds 3.0 to 1.0 in the future, the original applicable margins under the credit agreement would revert to the range from 150 to 250 basis points for LIBOR loans and 50 to 150 basis points for base rate loans, in each case depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized.

CRP’s credit agreement contains restrictive covenants that limit its ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) make investments and loans; (iii) enter into mergers; (iv) make or declare dividends; (v) enter into commodity hedges exceeding a specified percentage of the Company’s expected production; (vi) enter into interest rate hedges exceeding a specified percentage of its outstanding indebtedness; (vii) incur liens; (viii) sell assets; and (ix) engage in transactions with affiliates.

CRP’s credit agreement also requires it to maintain compliance with the following financial ratios: (i) a current ratio, which is the ratio of CRP’s consolidated current assets (including unused commitments under its revolving credit facility and excluding non-cash derivative assets and certain restricted cash) to its consolidated current liabilities (excluding the current portion of long-term debt under the credit agreement and non-cash derivative liabilities), of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; and (ii) a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of Total Funded Debt (as defined in CRP’s credit agreement) to consolidated EBITDAX (as defined in CRP’s credit agreement) for the rolling four fiscal quarter period ending on such day, of not greater than 4.0 to 1.0. CRP was in compliance with the covenants and the financial ratios described above as of June 30, 2019 and through the filing of this

Senior Unsecured Notes

On March 15, 2019, CRP issued $500.0 million of 6.875% senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Senior Notes”) in a 144A private placement at a price equal to 99.235% of par that resulted in net proceeds to CRP of $489.0 million, after deducting the original issuance discount of $3.8 million and debt issuance costs of $7.2 million. Interest is payable on the 2027 Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears on each April 1 and October 1, commencing October 1, 2019.

On November 30, 2017, CRP issued at par $400.0 million of 5.375% senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Senior Notes” and collectively with the 2027 Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”) in a 144A private placement that resulted in net proceeds to CRP of $391.0 million, after deducting $9.0 million in debt issuance costs. Interest is payable on the 2026 Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears on each January 15 and July 15, which commenced on July 15, 2018.

The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of CRP’s current subsidiaries that guarantee CRP’s revolving credit facility. The Senior Notes are not guaranteed by the Company, nor is the Company subject to the terms of the indentures governing the Senior Notes.

At any time prior to January 15, 2021 (for the 2026 Senior Notes) and April 1, 2022 (for the 2027 Senior Notes), the “Optional Redemption Dates,” CRP may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of either series of Senior Notes with an amount of cash not greater than the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 105.375% (for the 2026 Senior Notes) and 106.875% (for the 2027 Senior Notes) of the principal amount of the Senior Notes of the applicable series redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of such series of Senior Notes issued under the indenture governing such series remains outstanding immediately after such redemption, and the redemption occurs within 180 days of the closing date of such equity offering.

At any time prior to Optional Redemption Dates, CRP may, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium, and any accrued and unpaid interest as of the date of redemption. On and after the Optional Redemption Dates, CRP may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at redemption prices expressed as percentages of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

If CRP experiences certain defined changes of control (and, in some cases, followed by a ratings decline), each holder of the Senior Notes may require CRP to repurchase all or a portion of its Senior Notes for cash at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Senior Notes, plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

The indentures governing the Senior Notes contains covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, limit CRP’s ability and the ability of CRP’s restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain types of preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; (iii) transfer or sell assets; (iv) make investments; (v) create certain liens; (vi) enter into agreements that restrict dividends or other payments from their subsidiaries to them; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of their assets; (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates; and (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries. CRP was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2019 and through the filing of this Quarterly Report.

Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the indentures governing the Senior Notes), the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Senior Notes may declare the Senior Notes immediately due and payable. In addition, a default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to CRP, any restricted subsidiary of CRP that is a significant subsidiary, or any group of restricted subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a significant subsidiary, will automatically cause all outstanding Senior Notes to become due and payable.

Note 4—Asset Retirement Obligations

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) associated with our working interests in oil and gas properties for the six months ended June 30, 2019:



(in thousands)
Asset retirement obligations as of January 1, 2019	$	13,895
Liabilities acquired	80
Liabilities incurred	714
Liabilities divested and settled	(1,014		)
Accretion expense	438
Asset retirement obligations as of June 30, 2019	$	14,113

ARO reflect the present value of the estimated future costs associated with the plugging and abandonment of oil and natural gas wells, removal of equipment and facilities from leased acreage and land restoration in accordance with applicable local, state and federal laws. Inherent in the fair value calculation of ARO are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate plug and abandonment settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates and timing of settlement. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the value of the existing ARO liability, a corresponding offsetting adjustment is made to the oil and gas property balance. Changes in the liability due to the passage of time are recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the liability and as accretion expense.

Note 5—Stock-Based Compensation

Long Term Incentive Plan

On October 7, 2016, the stockholders of the Company approved the Centennial Resource Development, Inc. 2016 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”). An aggregate of 16,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were authorized for issuance under the LTIP, and as of June 30, 2019, the Company had 8,907,729 shares of Class A Common Stock available for future grants. The LTIP provides for grants of stock options (including incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, restricted stock units and other stock or cash-based awards.

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized within both General and administrative expenses and Exploration expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The expense amounts in the table below may not be representative of future expense amounts to be recognized as the value of future awards may vary from historical award amounts. The Company accounts for forfeitures of awards granted under the LTIP as they occur in determining compensation expense.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense recognized for the periods presented:

restricted stock awards is based on the market price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the grant date, and such costs are recognized ratably over the applicable vesting period. The weighted average grant-date fair value for restricted stock awards granted was $12.48 and $18.87 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock awards that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted shares that were unvested as of June 30, 2019 was $20.8 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

Stock Options

Stock options that have been granted under the LTIP expire ten years from the grant date and vest ratably over a three-year service period. The exercise price for an option granted under the LTIP is the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ on the date of grant.

Compensation cost for stock options is based on the grant-date fair value of the award which is then recognized ratably over the vesting period of three years. The Company estimates the fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on the weighted average asset volatility of the Company and identified set of comparable companies. Expected term is based on the simplified method and is estimated as the mid-point between the weighted average vesting term and the time to expiration as of the grant date. The Company uses U.S. Treasury bond rates in effect at the grant date for its risk-free interest rates.

The following table summarizes the assumptions and related information used to determine the grant-date fair value of stock options awarded during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019			2018

Note 6—Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations and may use derivative instruments to manage its exposure to commodity price risk from time to time.

Commodity Derivative Contracts

Historically, prices received for crude oil and natural gas production have been volatile because of supply and demand factors, worldwide political factors, general economic conditions and seasonal weather patterns. The Company may periodically use derivative instruments, such as swaps, costless collars and basis swaps, to mitigate its exposure to declines in commodity prices and to the corresponding negative impacts such declines can have on its cash flow from operations, returns on capital and other financial results. While the use of these instruments limits the downside risk of adverse price changes, their use may also limit future revenues from favorable price changes. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

Commodity Swap Contracts. The Company may opportunistically use commodity derivative instruments known as fixed price swaps to realize a known price for a specific volume of production as well as basis swaps to hedge the difference between the index price and a local index price. All transactions are settled in cash with one party paying the other for the resulting difference in price multiplied by the contract volume.

The following table summarizes the approximate volumes and average contract prices of swap contracts the Company had in place as of June 30, 2019:



	Period	Volume (Bbls)	Volume (Bbls/d)	Weighted Average Differential ($/Bbl)⁽¹⁾
Crude oil basis swaps	July 2019 - September 2019	1,380,000	15,000	$	(9.03	)
	October 2019 - December 2019	920,000	10,000	(4.24		)


⁽¹⁾	These oil basis swap transactions are settled based on the difference between the arithmetic average of ARGUS MIDLAND WTI and ARGUS WTI CUSHING indices, during each applicable settlement period.



	Period	Volume (MMBtu)	Volume (MMBtu/d)	Weighted Average Fixed Price ($/MMBtu)⁽¹⁾
Natural Gas Swaps - Henry Hub	July 2019 - December 2019	5,520,000	30,000	$	2.78
Natural Gas Swaps - West Texas WAHA	July 2019 - December 2019	2,760,000	15,000	1.61

	Period	Volume (MMBtu)	Volume (MMBtu/d)	Weighted Average Differential ($/MMBtu)⁽²⁾
Natural gas basis swaps	July 2019 - December 2019	6,440,000	35,000	$	(1.31	)


⁽¹⁾	These natural gas swap contracts are settled based on either i) the NYMEX Henry Hub price or ii) the Inside FERC West Texas WAHA price of natural gas, as applicable, as of the specified settlement date.


⁽²⁾	These natural gas basis swap contracts are settled based on the difference between the Inside FERC’s West Texas WAHA price and the NYMEX price of natural gas during each applicable settlement period.

Derivative Instrument Reporting. The Company’s oil and natural gas derivative instruments have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes; therefore, all gains and losses are recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, other than derivative instruments that meet the “normal purchase normal sale” exclusion, and any fair value gains and losses are recognized in current period earnings.

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Liabilities. The Company’s commodity derivatives are included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as derivative assets and liabilities. The Company nets its financial derivative instrument fair value amounts executed with the same counterparty pursuant to ISDA master netting agreements, which provide for net settlement over the term of the contract and in the event of default or termination of the contract. The table below summarizes the fair value amounts and the classification in the Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company’s derivative contracts outstanding at the respective balance dates, as well as the gross recognized derivative assets, liabilities and offset amounts:

⁽¹⁾	The Company has agreements in place with all of its counterparties that allow for the financial right of offset for derivative assets and derivative liabilities at settlement or in the event of a default under the agreements or contract termination.

Contingent Features in Financial Derivative Instruments. None of the Company’s derivative instruments contain credit-risk-related contingent features. Counterparties to the Company’s financial derivative contracts are high credit-quality financial institutions that are lenders under CRP’s credit agreement. The Company uses only credit agreement participants to hedge with, since these institutions are secured equally with the holders of any CRP bank debt, which eliminates the potential need to post collateral when Centennial is in a derivative liability position. As a result, the Company is not required to post letters of credit or corporate guarantees for its derivative counterparties in order to secure contract performance obligations.

In addition, the Company is exposed to credit risk associated with its derivative contracts from non-performance by its counterparties. The Company mitigates its exposure to any single counterparty by contracting with a number of financial institutions, each of which has a high credit rating and is a member under CRP’s credit facility as referenced above.

Note 7—Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure, which establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:


•	Level 1: Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.


•	Level 2: Significant Other Observable Inputs – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.


•	Level 3: Significant Unobservable Inputs – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents, for each applicable level within the fair value hierarchy, our net derivative assets and liabilities, including both current and noncurrent portions, measured at fair value on a recurring basis:



(in thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
June 30, 2019
Total assets	$	—	$	174	$	—
Total liabilities	—		14,347		—
December 31, 2018
Total assets	$	—	$	1,632	$	—
Total liabilities	—		6,051		—

Both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are categorized within the above fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used by the Company as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the above fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between any of the fair value levels during any period presented.

Derivatives

The Company uses Level 2 inputs to measure the fair value of oil and natural gas commodity derivatives. The Company uses industry-standard models that consider various assumptions including current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, implied market volatility, time value, nonperformance risk, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument and can be supported by observable data. The Company utilizes its counterparties’ valuations to assess the reasonableness of its own valuations. Refer to Note 6—Derivative Instruments for details of the gross and net derivatives assets, liabilities and offset amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured on a nonrecurring basis on the acquisition date using an income valuation technique based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. Significant inputs to the valuation of acquired oil and natural gas properties include estimates of: (i) reserves; (ii) production rates; (iii) future operating and development costs; (iv) future commodity prices, including price differentials; (v) future cash flows; and (vi) a market participant-based weighted average cost of capital rate. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates by the Company’s management at the time of the valuation.

The initial measurement of ARO at fair value is calculated using discounted cash flow techniques and is based on internal estimates of future retirement costs associated with property, plant and equipment. Significant Level 3 inputs used in the calculation of ARO include plugging costs and reserve lives. Refer to Note 4—Asset Retirement Obligations for additional information on the Company’s ARO.

Other Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturities and/or liquid nature of these assets and liabilities.

The Company’s Senior Notes and borrowings under its credit agreement are recorded at cost. The following table summarizes the fair values and carrying values of these instruments as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:



	June 30, 2019				December 31, 2018
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair value
Credit facility due 2023⁽¹⁾	$	—	$	—	$	300,000	$	300,000
5.375% Senior Notes due 2026⁽²⁾	392,119		382,000		391,630		372,000
6.875% Senior Notes due 2027⁽²⁾	489,234		505,000		—		—


⁽¹⁾	The carrying values of the amounts outstanding under CRP’s credit agreement approximate fair value because its variable interest rates are tied to current market rates and the applicable credit spreads represent current market rates for the credit risk profile of the Company.


⁽²⁾	The Senior Notes’ carrying values include associated unamortized debt issuance costs and any discounts. The Senior Notes’ fair values were determined using quoted market prices for these debt securities, a Level 1 classification in the fair value hierarchy.

Note 8—Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income available to Class A Common Stock by the weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income available to Class A Common Stock by the weighted average shares of diluted Class A Common Stock outstanding, which includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities for the diluted EPS calculation consists of (i) unvested restricted stock and performance stock units, outstanding stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method, and (ii) the Company’s Class C Common Stock using the “if-converted” method, which is net of tax. When a loss from continuing operations exists, all dilutive securities and potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive and are therefore excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

The following table reflects the allocation of net income to common shareholders and EPS computations for the periods indicated based on a weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period:

Note 9—Transactions with Related Parties

Riverstone and its affiliates, beneficially own more than 10% equity interest in the Company and are therefore considered related parties. The Company has a marketing agreement with Lucid Energy Delaware, LLC (“Lucid”), an affiliate of Riverstone. The Company believes that the terms of the marketing agreement with Lucid are no less favorable to either party than those held with unaffiliated parties. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized revenues net of processing fees from this marketing agreement amounting to $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. These revenues are recognized within Oil and gas sales and the associated processing fees are recognized within Gathering, processing and transportation expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Included in Accounts Receivable, net was $0.9 million and $0.7 million in receivables due from Lucid as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Note 10—Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company routinely enters into or extends operating agreements, office and equipment leases, drilling and completion rig contracts, among others, in the ordinary course of business. There has been no material, non-routine changes in commitments during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Please refer to Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies included in Part II, Item 8 in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report.

Contingencies

The Company may at times be subject to various commercial or regulatory claims, litigation or other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these lawsuits and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes it is remote that the impact of such matters that are reasonably possible to occur will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Management is unaware of any pending litigation brought against the Company requiring a contingent liability to be recognized as of the date of these consolidated financial statements.

Note 11—Revenues

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Crude oil, natural gas and NGL sales are recognized at the point that control of the product is transferred to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Virtually all of the Company’s contract pricing provisions are tied to a market index, with certain adjustments based on, among other factors, transportation costs to an active spot market and quality differentials. As a result, the Company’s realized price of oil, natural gas, and NGLs fluctuates to remain competitive with other available oil, natural gas, and NGLs supplies both globally (in the case of crude oil) and locally.

Oil and gas revenues presented within the Consolidated Statements of Operations relate to the sale of oil, natural gas and NGLs as shown below:



	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Operating revenues (in thousands):
Oil sales	$	214,305	$	174,156	$	389,859	$	348,997
Natural gas sales	8,088		13,721		20,585		32,301
NGL sales	21,846		29,886		48,364		52,363
Oil and gas sales	$	244,239	$	217,763	$	458,808	$	433,661

Oil sales

The Company’s crude oil sales contracts are generally structured whereby oil is delivered to the purchaser at a contractually agreed-upon delivery point at which the purchaser takes title of the product. This delivery point is usually at the wellhead or at the inlet of a transportation pipeline. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the purchaser at the delivery point based on the net price received from the purchaser. Any downstream transportation costs incurred by crude purchasers are reflected as a net reduction to oil sales revenues.

Natural gas and NGL sales

Under certain natural gas processing contracts, liquids rich natural gas is delivered to a midstream processing entity at the inlet of the gas plant processing system. The midstream processing entity gathers and processes the natural gas and remits proceeds to Centennial for the resulting sales of NGLs and residue gas. For these contracts, the Company evaluates when control is transferred and revenue should be recognized. Where the Company has concluded that control transfers at the tailgate of the processing facility, fees incurred prior to transfer of control are presented as gathering, processing and transportation expenses (“GP&T”) within the Consolidated Statements of Operations, rather than as a net reduction to natural gas and NGL sales.

In the Company’s other natural gas processing agreements, it has the election to take its residue gas “in-kind” at the tailgate of the midstream processing plant and then subsequently market the product. For these contracts, the Company recognizes revenue when control transfers to purchasers at delivery points downstream of the processing plant. The gathering, processing and compression fees are presented as GP&T, and any transportation and fractionation costs incurred subsequent to the point of transfer of control are reflected as a net reduction to natural gas and NGL sales revenues presented in the table above.

Performance obligations

For all commodity products, the Company records revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser. Settlement statements for certain natural gas and NGL sales may not be received for 30 to 90 days after the date production volumes are delivered and for crude oil, generally within 30 days after delivery has occurred. However, payment is unconditional once the performance obligations have been satisfied. At this time, the volume and price can be reasonably estimated and amounts due from customers are accrued in Accounts Receivable, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, such receivable balances were $68.7 million and $67.0 million, respectively.

The Company records any differences between its estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. Historically, any identified differences between revenue estimates and actual revenue received have not been significant. For both the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, revenue recognized in the reporting period related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods were not material.

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations

For the Company’s product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC Topic 606 which states the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these sales contracts, monthly sales of a product generally represent a separate performance obligation; therefore, future commodity volumes to be delivered and sold are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to such unsatisfied performance obligations is not required.

Note 12—Leases

At contract inception, the Company determines whether or not an arrangement contains a lease. However, in connection with the implementation of ASC 842, this assessment was made as of the adoption date. Upon determination of a lease, a lease right-of-use (ROU) asset and related liability are recorded based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make future lease payments arising from the lease.

Currently, the Company has operating leases for drilling rig contracts, office rental agreements, and other wellhead equipment. As of June 30, 2019, these leases have remaining lease terms ranging from one month to three years, some of which include options to extend the lease term for up to five years, and some of which include options to early terminate. These options are considered in determining the lease term and are included in the present value of future payments that are recorded for leases when the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option. Leases with an initial term of one year or less are not recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, none of the Company’s lease agreements contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The present value of future lease payments is determined at the lease commencement date based upon the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is calculated using a risk-free interest rate adjusted for the Company’s specific risk. The table below summarizes our discount rate and remaining lease term as of the period presented.



	As of June 30, 2019
Weighted-average discount rate	4.45	%
Weighted-average remaining lease term (years)	1.26

The Company’s drilling rig contracts, office rental agreements, and wellhead equipment contain both lease and non-lease components, which are combined and accounted for as a single lease component.

Variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which they are incurred. Expenses related to short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The following table presents the components of the Company’s lease expenses for the periods presented.

The majority of the Company’s operating leases relate to the operations or completion of the Company’s wells. Therefore, the lease costs presented in the above table represent the total gross costs the Company incurs, which are not comparable to the Company’s net costs recorded to the Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows or capitalized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as amounts therein are reflected net of amounts billed to working interest partners.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operation should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, market prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs, production volumes, estimates of proved reserves, capital expenditures, economic and competitive conditions, regulatory changes and other uncertainties, as well as those factors discussed above in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and in our 2018 Annual Report under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” all of which are difficult to predict. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may not occur. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Overview

Centennial Resource Development, Inc. (the “Company,” “Centennial,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the development of unconventional oil and associated liquids-rich natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin. Our assets are concentrated entirely in the Delaware Basin, a sub-basin of the Permian Basin. Our capital programs are specifically focused on projects that we believe provide the greatest potential for return on capital.

Market Conditions

The oil and natural gas industry is cyclical, and commodity prices can be volatile. It is likely that commodity prices will continue to fluctuate due to global supply and demand, inventory levels, weather conditions, geopolitical events and other factors. For example, during the fourth quarter of 2018, WTI spot prices for crude oil significantly declined to a low of $44.48 per barrel, reached a high of $66.30 per barrel in the second quarter of 2019, but the average price remained below $60 per barrel during the first half of 2019.

The following table highlights the quarterly average NYMEX price trends for crude oil and natural gas since the first quarter of 2017:



	2017								2018								2019
	Q1		Q2		Q3		Q4		Q1		Q2		Q3		Q4		Q1		Q2
Crude oil (per Bbl)	$	51.82	$	48.32	$	48.17	$	55.31	$	62.91	$	68.07	$	69.50	$	58.81	$	54.90	$	59.81
Natural gas (per MMBtu)	$	3.06	$	3.14	$	2.95	$	2.91	$	3.08	$	2.85	$	2.93	$	3.77	$	2.88	$	2.51

A sustained drop in oil, natural gas and NGL prices may not only decrease our revenues on a per unit basis but may also reduce the amount of oil, natural gas and NGLs that we can produce economically and therefore potentially lower our oil, natural gas and NGL reserve quantities.

Lower commodity prices (including our realized differentials) in the future could result in impairments of our proved oil and natural gas properties or undeveloped acreage and may materially and adversely affect our future business, financial condition, results of operations, operating cash flows, liquidity or ability to finance planned capital expenditures. Lower realized prices may also reduce the borrowing base under CRP’s credit agreement, which is determined at the discretion of the lenders and is based on the collateral value of our proved reserves that have been mortgaged to the lenders. Upon a redetermination, if any borrowings in excess of the revised borrowing capacity were outstanding, we could be forced to immediately repay a portion of the debt outstanding under the credit agreement.

2019 Highlights and Future Considerations

Operational Highlights

We operated a six-rig drilling program during the first half of 2019 which enabled us to complete and bring online 40 gross operated wells. The total number of completed wells during the first half of 2019 had an average effective lateral length of approximately 7,900 feet.

Table of Contents

Financing Highlights

In connection with the spring 2019 semi-annual credit facility redetermination, the borrowing base under the revolving credit facility was increased from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion, but the amount of elected commitments remained at $800.0 million. In addition, CRP and the lenders amended the credit agreement to reduce the applicable margin by 25 basis points for the LIBOR loans to a range of 125 to 225 basis points and to reduce the applicable margin by 25 basis points for base rate loans to 25 to 125 basis points, in each case depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. These reductions in the applicable margins became effective in April 2019 and remain applicable as long as CRP’s total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0; otherwise, the original applicable margins would be applied.

Oil, Natural Gas and NGL Sales Revenues. Total net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $26.5 million (or 12%) higher than total net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Revenues are a function of oil, natural gas and NGL volumes sold and average commodity prices realized.

Net production volumes for oil, natural gas and NGLs increased 38%, 31% and 19%, respectively, between periods. The oil volume increase resulted primarily from our drilling activities in the Delaware Basin. Since the second quarter 2018, we placed 84

Table of Contents

gross operated wells on production in the Delaware Basin, which added 2,320 MBbls of net oil production to the second quarter of 2019. These oil volume increases were offset by normal field production declines across our existing wells. Natural gas and NGLs are produced concurrently with our crude oil volumes, resulting in a high correlation between fluctuations in oil quantities sold and natural gas and NGL quantities sold. As a result, our natural gas production increased 31% and NGL production increased 19% during the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same prior year period.

The increases in production volumes between periods were partially offset by lower average realized sales prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same 2018 period. The average price for oil before the effects of hedging decreased 11%, the average price for natural gas before effects of hedging decreased 55% and the average price for NGLs decreased 39% between periods. The 11% decrease in the average realized oil price was mainly the result of lower NYMEX crude prices between periods (average NYMEX prices decreased 12%), which were partially offset by improved oil differentials (a decrease of $1.68 per Bbl) in the second quarter of 2019. The average realized sales price of natural gas between periods decreased 55% due to lower average NYMEX gas prices between periods (average NYMEX prices decreased 12%) and wider gas differentials (an increase of $0.66 per Mcf). The continued widening of natural gas price differentials was due to pipeline takeaway capacity constraints impacting the Permian Basin, which has in turn depressed natural gas prices in West Texas. New pipelines are planned to be placed into service beginning in the second half of 2019 continuing through 2021, which are expected to provide relief from these wider gas differentials. The overall 39% decrease in average realized NGL prices between periods was primarily attributable to lower Mont Belvieu spot prices for plant products in the second quarter 2019 as compared to the second quarter of 2018.

Operating Expenses. The following table sets forth selected operating expense data for the periods indicated:



	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				Increase/(Decrease)
	2019		2018		$			%
Operating costs (in thousands):
Lease operating expenses	$	34,885	$	19,182	$	15,703		82	%
Severance and ad valorem taxes	17,186		14,208		2,978			21	%
Gathering, processing and transportation expenses	16,243		15,296		947			6	%
Operating costs per Boe:
Lease operating expenses	$	5.04	$	3.66	$	1.38		38	%
Severance and ad valorem taxes	2.48		2.71		(0.23		)	(8	)%
Gathering, processing and transportation expenses	2.34		2.92		(0.58		)	(20	)%

Lease Operating Expenses. Lease operating expenses (“LOE”) for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased $15.7 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. Higher LOE for the second quarter of 2019 was primarily related to a $9.6 million increase in expense associated with our higher well count. We had 302 gross operated horizontal wells as of June 30, 2019 as compared to 217 gross operated horizontal wells as of June 30, 2018. The net increase in well count was mainly due to our drilling activity adding 84 gross operated wells since the second quarter of 2018, which was further adjusted for acquisitions and divestitures. In addition, workover expense increased $6.1 million between periods as a result of our higher well count and related higher workover activity.

LOE on a per Boe basis increased when comparing the second quarter of 2019 to the same 2018 period. LOE per Boe was $5.04 for the second quarter of 2019, which represents an increase of $1.38 per Boe from the second quarter of 2018. This increase in rate was mainly due to our higher level of workover activity discussed above, as well as (i) higher costs associated with wellhead equipment due to increased monthly rental charges, (ii) increased wellhead chemical and gas mitigation expenses, and (iii) higher field labor costs due to an increase in field employees from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2019.

Severance and Ad Valorem Taxes. Severance and ad valorem taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased $3.0 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. Severance taxes are primarily based on the market value of production at the wellhead, while ad valorem taxes are generally based on the valuation of our proved developed oil and natural gas reserves and vary across the different counties in which we operate. Severance and ad valorem taxes as a percentage of total net revenues increased to 7.0% for three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to 6.5% for the same period in 2018 due to increased ad valorem taxes of $1.4 million between periods, associated with our higher well count and higher oil and gas reserve values.

Severance and ad valorem taxes decreased on a per Boe basis to $2.48 for the second quarter of 2019 from $2.71 for the second quarter of 2018. This 8% decrease in rate is due to lower average realized sales prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs between periods.

Table of Contents

Gathering, Processing and Transportation Expenses. Gathering, processing and transportation expenses (“GP&T”) for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased $0.9 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 due to higher natural gas and NGL volumes sold between periods, which in turn resulted in a higher amount of plant processing costs, transportation tariffs and gathering fees being incurred.

On a per Boe basis, GP&T decreased 20% from $2.92 for the second quarter of 2018 to $2.34 per Boe for the second quarter of 2019. On a natural gas and NGL volumes basis (i.e. excluding crude oil barrels) the Boe rate likewise decreased between periods to $5.41 from $6.40 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. This decrease was attributable to the following factors: (i) lower natural gas prices between periods, due to residue gas being a primary cost component of our plant processing fees; and (ii) $2.9 million in reimbursements received from third parties for their usage of our firm transportation capacity in the second quarter of 2019. The agreement that enables us to receive these third party reimbursements extends through March of 2020; such reimbursements, however, may not necessarily be recurring in these similar amounts.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization. The following table summarizes our depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) for the periods indicated:



	For the Three Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands, except per Boe data)	2019		2018
Depreciation, depletion and amortization	$	112,114	$	74,946
Depreciation, depletion and amortization per Boe	$	16.18	$	14.32

Our DD&A rate can fluctuate as a result of development costs, acquisitions, impairments, as well as changes in proved reserves or proved developed reserves. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, DD&A expense amounted to $112.1 million, an increase of $37.2 million over the same 2018 period. The primary factor contributing to higher DD&A in 2019 was the increase in our overall production volumes between periods, which added $24.5 million of incremental DD&A expense to the second quarter of 2019, while higher DD&A rates between periods contributed an additional $12.7 million of DD&A expense to the second quarter of 2019.

DD&A per Boe was $16.18 for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $14.32 for the same period in 2018. The primary factors contributing to this higher DD&A rate were (i) revisions to proved reserves subsequent to the second quarter of 2018, and (ii) a higher level of infrastructure costs (having no associated proved reserve adds).

Impairment and Abandonment Expense. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, $4.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of abandonment expense was incurred related to undeveloped leasehold acreage that expired after efforts to extend, sell or trade these leases were unsuccessful.

Exploration Expense. The following table summarizes our exploration expense for the periods indicated:



	For the Three Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2019		2018
Geological and geophysical costs	$	3,179	$	1,204
Stock-based compensation	682		489
Exploratory dry hole costs	—		174
Exploration expense	$	3,861	$	1,867

Exploration expense was $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $1.9 million for the same prior year period. Exploration expense mainly consists of topographical studies, geographical and geophysical (“G&G”) projects, and salaries and expenses of G&G personnel. The period over period increase in exploration expense was primarily due to $1.5 million in higher costs incurred on G&G projects and seismic studies and a $0.7 million increase in G&G personnel expenses due to the average number of geologists increasing between periods.

General and Administrative Expenses. The following table summarizes our general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the periods indicated:



	For the Three Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2019		2018
Cash general and administrative expenses	$	12,359	$	9,643
Stock-based compensation	6,076		4,166
General and administrative expenses	$	18,435	$	13,809

G&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $18.4 million compared to $13.8 million for the second quarter of 2018. Our G&A expenses were higher in 2019 primarily due to $2.0 million in increased employee salaries, wages and payroll burdens, $1.9 million in higher stock-based compensation and $0.8 million in increased software and office rental expenses. These costs were higher during the second quarter of 2019 due to our increase in headcount since June 30, 2018.

Total	$	14,437		$	5,791

Interest expense was $8.6 million higher for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to interest incurred in the second quarter of 2019 on our 2027 Senior Notes that were issued in March of 2019.

Net Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments. Net gains and losses are a function of (i) fluctuations in mark-to-market derivative fair values associated with corresponding changes in underlying commodity prices and (ii) monthly cash settlements on our hedged derivative positions.

The following table presents gains and losses on our derivative instruments for the periods indicated:



	For the Three Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2019			2018
Cash settlement gains (losses)	$	6,388		$	5,163
Non-cash mark-to-market derivative gain (loss)	(4,260		)	11,534
Total	$	2,128		$	16,697

Income Tax Expense. We recognized income tax expense of $5.9 million and $19.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to lower pre-tax book income of $62.5 million from the second quarter of 2018 to the second quarter of 2019.

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2019 differed from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of 21% to pre-tax book income because of state income taxes and permanent differences.

Oil, Natural Gas and NGL Sales Revenues. Total net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $25.1 million, or 6%, higher than total net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Revenues are a function of oil, natural gas and NGL volumes sold and average commodity prices realized.

Net production volumes for oil, natural gas and NGLs increased 33%, 24% and 44%, respectively, between periods. The oil volume increase resulted primarily from our drilling success in the Delaware Basin. Since the second quarter 2018, 84 gross operated wells were placed on production in the Delaware Basin, which added 4,177 MBbls of net oil production to the first six months of 2019. These oil volume increases were partially offset by normal field production declines across our existing wells.

Natural gas and NGLs are produced concurrently with our crude oil volumes, resulting in a high correlation between fluctuations in oil quantities sold and natural gas and NGL quantities sold. However, during the second quarter of 2018, the main processor of our wet gas switched from ethane-rejection to ethane-recovery due to lower gas prices in the Permian Basin and higher ethane prices, which led to stronger ethane processing economics. This switch enabled us to recover an increased amount of ethane from our wet gas resulting in a significant increase in NGL volumes between periods (up 44%) compared to a 24% increase in natural gas volumes between periods.

The above increases in production volumes between periods were partially offset by lower average realized sales prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs in the first half of 2019 compared to the same 2018 period. The average price for oil before the effects of hedging decreased 16%, the average price for natural gas before the effects of hedging decreased 49% and the average price for NGLs decreased 36% between periods. The 16% decrease in the average realized oil price was the result of lower NYMEX crude prices between periods (average NYMEX oil prices decreased 12%) and wider oil differentials (an increase of $1.67 per Bbl) in the first half of 2019. Similarly, the 49% decrease in the average realized sales price of natural gas between periods was due to lower average NYMEX gas prices between periods (average NYMEX prices decreased 9%) and wider gas differentials (an increase of $0.76 per Mcf). The overall 36% decrease in average realized NGL prices between periods was primarily attributable to lower Mont Belvieu spot prices for plant products. Both our oil and gas differentials widened during the first half of 2019 as compared to the first half of 2018 due to pipeline takeaway capacity constraints impacting the Permian Basin. New pipelines are planned to be placed into service beginning in the second half of 2019 continuing through 2021, which are expected to provide relief from these wider oil and gas differentials.

Operating Expenses. The following table summarizes our operating expenses for the periods indicated:



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,				Increase/(Decrease)
	2019		2018		$			%
Operating costs (in thousands):
Lease operating expenses	$	64,747	$	35,458	$	29,289		83	%
Severance and ad valorem taxes	33,306		28,381		4,925			17	%
Gathering, processing and transportation expenses	31,267		29,124		2,143			7	%
Operating costs per Boe:
Lease operating expenses	$	4.83	$	3.51	$	1.32		38	%
Severance and ad valorem taxes	2.48		2.81		(0.33		)	(12	)%
Gathering, processing and transportation expenses	2.33		2.88		(0.55		)	(19	)%

Lease Operating Expenses. LOE for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased $29.3 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. Higher LOE for the first half of 2019 was primarily related to a $16.2 million increase in expense associated with our higher well count, as well as increased water production which resulted in higher water disposal costs. We had 302 gross operated horizontal wells as of June 30, 2019 compared to 217 gross operated horizontal wells as of June 30, 2018. The net increase in well count was mainly the result of our drilling activity adding 84 gross operated wells since the second quarter of 2018, was further adjusted for acquisitions and divestitures. In addition, workover activity increased $13.1 million between periods as a result of our higher well count and related higher workover activity.

LOE on a per Boe basis increased when comparing the first half of 2019 to the same 2018 period. LOE per Boe was $4.83 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which represents an increase of $1.32 per Boe from the comparable 2018 period. This increase in rate was mainly due to our higher level of workover activity discussed above, as well as (i) higher costs associated with wellhead equipment due to increased monthly rental charges, (ii) increased wellhead chemicals and gas mitigation expenses, and (iii) higher field labor costs due to an increase in field employees from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2019.

Severance and Ad Valorem Taxes. Severance and ad valorem taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased $4.9 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. Severance taxes are primarily based on the market value of our production at the wellhead, while ad valorem taxes are generally based on the valuation of our proved developed oil and natural gas properties and vary across the different counties in which we operate. Severance and ad valorem taxes as a percentage of total net revenues increased to 7.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to 6.6% in 2018 due to increased ad valorem taxes of $3.2 million between periods, associated with our higher well count and higher oil and gas reserve values.

Severance and ad valorem taxes decreased on a per Boe basis to $2.48 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $2.81 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This 12% decrease in rate is due to lower average realized sales prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs between periods.

Table of Contents

Gathering, Processing and Transportation Expenses. GP&T for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased $2.1 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 due to higher natural gas and NGL volumes sold between periods, which in turn resulted in a higher amount of plant processing costs, transportation tariffs and gathering fees being incurred.

On a per Boe basis, GP&T decreased 19% from $2.88 in the first half of 2018 to $2.33 per Boe for the same 2019 period. On a natural gas and NGL volume basis (i.e. excluding crude oil barrels) the Boe rate likewise decreased between periods to $5.35 from $6.60 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. This decrease was attributable to the following factors: (i) lower natural gas prices between periods, due to residue gas being a primary cost component of gas processing fees; and (ii) $10.4 million in reimbursements received from third parties for their usage of our firm transportation capacity in the first half of 2019. The agreement that enables us to receive these third party reimbursements extends through March of 2020; such reimbursements, however, may not necessarily be recurring in these similar amounts.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization. The following table summarizes our DD&A for the periods indicated:



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands, except per Boe data)	2019		2018
Depreciation, depletion and amortization	$	208,672	$	140,956
Depreciation, depletion and amortization per Boe	$	15.56	$	13.95

DD&A rate can fluctuate as a result of finding and development costs, acquisitions, impairments, as well as changes in proved reserve or proved developed reserves. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, DD&A expense amounted to $208.7 million, an increase of $67.7 million over the same 2018 period. The primary factor contributing to higher DD&A in 2019 was the increase in our overall production volumes between periods, which added $46.4 million of incremental DD&A expense during the first six months of 2019, while higher DD&A rates between periods contributed an additional $21.3 million of DD&A expense to the first six months of 2019.

DD&A per Boe was $15.56 for the first half of 2019 compared to $13.95 for the same period in 2018. The primary factors contributing to this higher DD&A rate were (i) revisions to proved reserves subsequent to the second quarter of 2018, and (ii) a higher level of infrastructure costs (having no associated proved reserve adds).

Impairment and Abandonment Expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, $35.7 million of abandonment expense was incurred related to undeveloped leasehold acreage. Of this amount, $19.1 million was incurred with respect to non-core acreage that expired during the first half of 2019 after efforts to extend, sell or trade these leases were unsuccessful, and $16.6 million was identified as impaired acreage based on impairment indicators that arose during the period, following an acreage sale that was initiated in the first quarter of 2019.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, $1.8 million of abandonment expense was incurred related to undeveloped leasehold acreage that expired during the period.

Exploration Expense. The following table summarizes our exploration expense for the periods indicated:



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2019		2018
Geological and geophysical costs	$	5,095	$	4,049
Stock-based compensation	1,282		870
Exploratory dry hole costs	—		395
Exploration expense	$	6,377	$	5,314

Exploration was $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $5.3 million for the same prior year period. Exploration expense mainly consists of topographical studies, G&G projects, and salaries and expenses of G&G personnel. The period over period increase in exploration expense was primarily due to an increase in G&G personnel expenses of $1.7 million during the first half of 2019 due to the average number of geologists increasing between periods. This increase was partially offset by lower costs incurred on G&G projects and seismic studies between periods and no exploratory dry hole costs incurred during 2019.

Stock-based compensation	11,959		8,118
General and administrative expenses	$	36,553	$	28,106

G&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $36.6 million compared to $28.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The higher G&A expenses incurred in 2019 were primarily due to $4.5 million in increased employee salaries, wages and payroll burdens, $3.8 million in higher stock-based compensation and $1.2 million in increased software and office rental expenses. These costs were higher during the first half of 2019 due to our increase in headcount since June 30, 2018. These increases were partially offset by $0.9 million lower professional fees incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the prior year period.

Interest capitalized	(2,173		)	(1,422		)
Total	$	24,597		$	11,604

Interest expense was $13.0 million higher for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same 2018 period primarily due to $10.1 million in interest we incurred in the first half of 2019 related to our 2027 Senior Notes that were issued in March 2019, as well as increased borrowings under our credit facility in the first half of 2019. The Company’s weighted average borrowings outstanding under our credit facility were $158.0 million and $20.8 million for the first half of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our credit facility’s weighted average effective interest rate was 4.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to 3.7% for the same 2018 period.

Non-cash mark-to-market derivative gain (loss)	(9,754		)	19,016
Total	$	(3,743	)	$	24,540

Income Tax Expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized income tax expense of $3.7 million and $39.1 million, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income of $163.2 million between periods.

The Company's provision for income taxes for the first half of 2019 differed from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of 21% to pre-tax income because of state income taxes and permanent differences.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our drilling and completion and land acquisition activities require us to make significant capital expenditures. Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, borrowings under CRP’s revolving credit facility, and proceeds from offerings of debt and equity securities. To date, our primary use of capital has been for drilling and development capital expenditures and the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties.

The following table summarizes our capital expenditures (“capex”) incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2019:



(in millions)	For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Drilling and completion capital expenditures	$	368.2
Facilities, infrastructure and other	90.2
Land	24.2
Total capital expenditures	$	482.6

We continually evaluate our capital needs and compare them to our capital resources. Our estimated capex budget for 2019 is $765 million to $925 million, of which $625 million to $725 million is allocated to drilling and completion (“D&C”) activity. We expect to fund our capex budget with cash flows from operations and borrowings under our credit facility. The D&C portion of our 2019 capital budget represents a decrease relative to $766.1 million of D&C expenditures incurred during 2018. This decreased capital budget is driven by a shift in our rig activity from seven to six rigs and the associated decrease in development capex associated with running a six-rig drilling program.

Because we are the operator of a high percentage of our acreage, we can control the amount and timing of these capital expenditures. We could choose to defer a portion of this planned capex 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 working interest owners.

Based upon current oil and natural gas price expectations for the remainder of 2019, we believe that our cash flows from operations, proceeds from the issuance of the 2027 Senior Notes and borrowings under our credit facility will provide us with sufficient liquidity to execute our current capital program. However, our future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including the future level of oil and natural gas production and prices, and significant additional capital expenditures will be required to more fully develop our properties. We cannot ensure that operations and other needed capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. In the event we make additional acquisitions and the amount of capital required is greater than the amount we have available for acquisitions at that time, we could be required to reduce our expected level of capital expenditures and/or seek additional sources for funding capital investments. As we pursue our future development program, we are actively assessing the correct mix of reserve-based borrowings and debt offerings. If we require additional capital to fund acquisitions, we may also seek such capital through traditional reserve-based borrowings, offerings of debt and equity securities, asset sales, or other means. If we are unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be required to curtail our drilling program, which could result in a loss of acreage through lease expirations. In addition, we may not be able to complete acquisitions that may be favorable to us or finance the capital expenditures necessary to maintain our production or replace our reserves.

Analysis of Cash Flow Changes

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2019			2018
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	280,194		$	323,902
Net cash used in investing activities	(458,520		)	(433,371		)
Net cash provided by financing activities	188,643			26,274

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we generated $280.2 million of cash from operating activities, a decrease of $43.7 million from the same period in 2018. Cash provided by operating activities decreased primarily due to lower realized prices for crude oil, natural gas and NGLs, higher lease operating expenses, severance and ad valorem taxes, GP&T costs, exploration expense, cash general and administrative expenses, interest expense and the timing of our receivable collections and supplier payments during the six months ended June 30, 2019. These declining factors were partially offset by higher crude oil, natural

gas and NGL production volumes and higher cash settlements gains from derivatives for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same 2018 period. Refer to “Results of Operations” for more information on the impact of volumes and prices on revenues and for more information on fluctuations in our operating expenses between periods.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash flows from operating activities, cash on hand, proceeds from sales of oil and gas properties and proceeds from the issuance of our 2027 Senior Notes were used to repay net borrowings of $300.0 million under our credit facility, to finance $437.9 million of drilling and development capex, to fund $42.3 million in oil and gas property acquisitions and to purchase $4.3 million of other property and equipment.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash flows from operating activities, cash on hand, proceeds from sales of oil and gas properties, and $30.0 million in net borrowings under our credit facility were used to finance $469.0 million of drilling and development capex and $107.2 million in oil and gas property acquisitions.

Credit Agreement

CRP’s credit agreement contains restrictive covenants that limit its ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) make investments and loans; (iii) enter into mergers; (iv) make or declare dividends; (v) enter into commodity hedges exceeding a specified percentage of CRP’s expected production; (vi) enter into interest rate hedges exceeding a specified percentage of its outstanding indebtedness; (vii) incur liens; (viii) sell assets; and (ix) engage in transactions with affiliates.

CRP’s credit agreement also requires it to maintain compliance with the following financial ratios: (i) a current ratio, which is the ratio of CRP’s consolidated current assets (including unused commitments under its revolving credit facility and excluding non-cash derivative assets and certain restricted cash) to its consolidated current liabilities (excluding the current portion of long-term debt under the credit agreement and non-cash derivative liabilities), of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; and (ii) a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of Total Funded Debt (as defined in CRP’s credit agreement) to consolidated EBITDAX (as defined in CRP’s credit agreement) for the rolling four fiscal quarter period ending on such day, of not greater than 4.0 to 1.0. CRP was in compliance with these covenants and the financial ratios described above as of June 30, 2019 and through the filing of this Quarterly Report.

In connection with the spring 2019 semi-annual credit facility redetermination, the borrowing base under the revolving credit facility was increased from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion, but the amount of elected commitments remained at $800.0 million. In addition, CRP and the lenders amended the credit agreement to reduce the applicable margin by 25 basis points for the LIBOR loans to a range of 125 to 225 basis points and to reduce the applicable margin by 25 basis points for base rate loans to 25 to 125 basis points, in each case depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. These reductions in the applicable margins became effective in April 2019 and remain applicable as long as CRP’s total leverage ratio (as described above) is less than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0; otherwise, the original applicable margins would be applied.

For further information on our credit agreement, refer to Note 3—Long-Term Debt under Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report.

Senior Notes

On November 30, 2017, CRP issued $400.0 million of 5.375% senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Senior Notes”) and on March 15, 2019, CRP issued $500.0 million of 6.875% senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Senior Notes” and collectively with the 2026 Senior Notes the “Senior Notes”) in 144A private placements. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of CRP’s current subsidiaries that guarantee CRP’s revolving credit facility. The Senior Notes are not guaranteed by the Company, nor is the Company subject to the terms of the indentures governing the Senior Notes.

The indentures governing the Senior Notes contain covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, limit CRP’s ability and the ability of CRP’s restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain types of preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; (iii) transfer or sell assets; (iv) make investments; (v) create certain liens; (vi) enter into agreements that restrict dividends or other payments from their subsidiaries to them; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of their assets; (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates; and (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries. CRP was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2019 and through the filing of this Quarterly Report.

For further information on our Senior Notes, refer to Note 3—Long-Term Debt under Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report.

The term “market risk” as it applies to our business refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in oil and natural gas prices and interest rates, and we are exposed to market risk as described below. The primary objective of the following information is to provide quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. All of our market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than speculative trading.

Commodity Price Risk

Our primary market risk exposure is in the pricing that we receive for our oil, natural gas and NGL production. Pricing for oil, natural gas and NGLs has been volatile and unpredictable for several years, and we expect this volatility to continue in the future. Based on our production for the first half of 2019, our income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2019 would have moved up or down $39.0 million for each 10% change in oil prices per Bbl, $4.8 million for each 10% change in NGL prices per Bbl, and $2.1 million for each 10% change in natural gas prices per Mcf.

Due to this volatility, we have historically used, and we may elect to continue to selectively use, commodity derivative instruments (such as collars, swaps and basis swaps) to mitigate price risk associated with a portion of our anticipated production. Our derivative instruments allow us to reduce, but not eliminate, the potential effects of the variability in cash flows from operations due to fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices and provide increased certainty of cash flows for our drilling program and debt service requirements. These instruments provide only partial price protection against declines in oil and natural gas prices, but alternatively they may partially limit our potential gains from future increases in prices. Our credit agreement limits our ability to enter into commodity hedges covering greater than 85% of our reasonably anticipated projected production from proved properties.

The following table summarizes the terms of the swap contracts the Company had in place as of June 30, 2019:



	Period	Volume (Bbls)	Volume (Bbls/d)	Weighted Average Differential ($/Bbl)⁽¹⁾
Crude oil basis swaps	July 2019 - September 2019	1,380,000	15,000	$	(9.03	)
	October 2019 - December 2019	920,000	10,000	(4.24		)


⁽¹⁾	These oil basis swap transactions are settled based on the difference between the arithmetic average of the ARGUS MIDLAND WTI and ARGUS WTI CUSHING indices, during each applicable settlement period.



	Period	Volume (MMBtu)	Volume (MMBtu/d)	Weighted Average Fixed Price ($/MMBtu)⁽¹⁾
Natural Gas Swaps - Henry Hub	July 2019 - December 2019	5,520,000	30,000	$	2.78
Natural Gas Swaps - West Texas WAHA	July 2019 - December 2019	2,760,000	15,000	1.61

	Period	Volume (MMBtu)	Volume (MMBtu/d)	Weighted Average Differential ($/MMBtu)⁽²⁾
Natural gas basis swaps	July 2019 - December 2019	6,440,000	35,000	$	(1.31	)


⁽¹⁾	These natural gas swap contracts are settled based on either i) the NYMEX Henry Hub price or ii) the Inside FERC West Texas WAHA price of natural gas, as applicable, as of the specified settlement date.


⁽²⁾	These natural gas basis swap contracts are settled based on the difference between the Inside FERC’s West Texas WAHA price and the NYMEX price of natural gas during each applicable settlement period.

Changes in the fair value of derivative contracts from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2019, are presented below:



(in thousands)	Commodity derivative asset (liability)
Net fair value of oil and gas derivative contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2018	$	(4,419	)
Contracts settled	(6,011		)
Change in the futures curve of forecasted commodity prices⁽¹⁾	(3,743		)
Net fair value of oil and gas derivative contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2019	$	(14,173	)


⁽¹⁾	At inception, new derivative contracts entered into by us have no intrinsic value.

A hypothetical upward or downward shift of 10% per Bbl in the NYMEX forward curve for crude oil as of June 30, 2019 would cause a $0.1 million increase or decrease, respectively, in this fair value liability, and a hypothetical upward or downward shift of 10% per Mcf in the NYMEX forward curve for natural gas as of June 30, 2019 would cause a $0.9 million increase or decrease, respectively, in this same fair value liability.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s ability to borrow and the rates offered by lenders can be adversely affected by deteriorations in the credit markets and/or downgrades in the Company’s credit rating. CRP’s credit facility interest rate is based on a LIBOR spread, which exposes the Company to interest rate risk if we have borrowings outstanding. At June 30, 2019, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under its credit agreement. We do not currently have or intend to enter into any derivative arrangements to protect against fluctuations in interest rates applicable to our outstanding indebtedness.

The Company’s remaining long-term debt balance of $881.4 million consists of our Senior Notes, which have fixed interest rates; therefore, this balance is not affected by interest rate movements. For additional information regarding the Company’s debt instruments, see Note 3—Long-Term Debt, in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures

In accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2019. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2019 at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we are party to ongoing legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including workers’ compensation claims and employment-related disputes. While the outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe the results of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
