Management Comments
Mr. Robert J. Anderson, President and CEO of Earthstone, commented, “In 2020, Earthstone achieved excellent results and delivered on its commitment to maintain balance sheet strength, operating efficiency and a persistent focus on identifying strategic and accretive growth opportunities. We overcame the unprecedented challenges of 2020 and finished the year in stronger position by managing to increase total production 14% and hold Adjusted EBITDAX almost flat compared to 2019, all while reducing our capital expenditures by 68% and utilizing free cash flow to reduce leverage, defined as total debt to Adjusted EBITDAX, from 1.2x in 2019 to 0.8x in 2020.
“By completing the acquisition of Independence Resource Management, LLC (“IRM”) on January 7, 2021, we have increased our scale with complementary and accretive assets that, similar to our existing assets, carry a low-cost structure in order to further drive free cash flow generation and with drilling inventory that will deliver attractive returns in 2021. We intend to execute on our goals to maintain financial strength, capital efficiency and operating excellence while continuing to seek further strategic growth opportunities.”
Operational Update
The Company recently commenced its 2021 drilling program with the deployment of a rig in Midland County. After drilling on a three-well pad in the Hamman project, the Company expects to drill a four-well pad on the recently acquired IRM Spanish Pearl project. The Company anticipates moving the rig to Upton County and drilling 10-11 wells. Consistent with previously released guidance, the Company anticipates drilling 16 gross / 14.8 net operated wells and spudding an additional 5 gross / 3.7 net operated wells during 2021.
The Company recently completed 5 gross / 3.7 net wells in Upton County and anticipates turning these wells to sales before the end of March. The Company anticipates completing and turning to sales a total of 16 gross / 13.5 net operated wells in 2021, as is consistent with previously released guidance.
The unprecedented weather in February created production challenges for all facets of the industry including producers, mid-stream and gathering companies and refiners. While production has returned to previous levels, we do expect that production and revenue reductions will have an impact on first quarter results.

When adjusting to include the IRM Acquisition, we had an estimated $15.3 million in cash and $260 million outstanding under our credit facility, as amended, with a borrowing base of $360 million. With the $100 million of undrawn borrowing base capacity and $15.3 million in cash, we had total liquidity of approximately $115.3 million on a combined basis.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Unaudited
The non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted Diluted Shares, Adjusted EBITDAX, Adjusted Net Income, All-In Cash Costs, Free Cash Flow and Operating Margin per Boe, as defined and presented below, are intended to provide readers with meaningful information that supplements our financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Further, these non-GAAP measures should only be considered in conjunction with financial statements and disclosures prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures, such as net income or loss, operating income or loss or any other GAAP measure of financial position or results of operations. Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted Net Income are presented herein and reconciled from the GAAP measure of net (loss) income because of its wide acceptance by the investment community as a financial indicator.
I. Adjusted Diluted Shares
We define “Adjusted Diluted Shares” as the weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock - Diluted outstanding plus the weighted average shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding.
Our Adjusted Diluted Shares measure provides a comparable per share measurement when presenting results such as Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted Net Income that include the interests of both Earthstone and the noncontrolling interest. Adjusted Diluted Shares is used in calculating several metrics that we use as supplemental financial measurements in the evaluation of our business, none of which should be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as an indicator of operating performance.
