Exhibit 99.1
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(BASIS OF PRESENTATION DESCRIBED IN NOTE 1)
On January 30, 2022, Earthstone Energy, Inc. (“Earthstone”), Earthstone Energy Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of Earthstone (“EEH” and collectively with Earthstone, the “Company”), as buyer, and Bighorn Asset Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Bighorn”), as seller, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, EEH will acquire (the “Bighorn Acquisition”) interests in oil and gas leases and related property of Bighorn located in the Midland Basin, Texas, for a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of $770 million in cash and 6,808,511 shares (the “Shares” and such issuance, the “Stock Issuance”) of Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share of Earthstone (the “Class A Common Stock”). The cash portion of the Purchase Price is subject to customary purchase price adjustments with an effective date of January 1, 2022. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, EEH deposited $50 million in cash into a third-party escrow account as a deposit pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, which will be credited against the purchase price upon closing of the Bighorn Acquisition. At the closing of the Bighorn Acquisition, 510,638 of the Shares (the “Escrow Shares”) will be deposited in a stock escrow account for indemnity obligations and 6,297,873 of the Shares (the “Closing Shares”) will be issued to Bighorn.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties for transactions of this nature. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary pre-closing covenants of the parties, including the obligation of Bighorn to conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and to refrain from taking certain specified actions, subject to certain exceptions.
The Bighorn Acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2022, subject to the satisfaction of several closing conditions, including (i) specified materiality standards, the accuracy of the applicable counterparty’s representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement, (ii) the applicable counterparty’s performance or compliance in all material respects with the covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement, (iii) the absence of certain legal matters prohibiting the Bighorn Acquisition, (iv) each counterparty being ready to deliver specified closing deliverables, (v) the Shares being authorized for listing on the New York Stock Exchange, and (vi) the expiration of any applicable waiting period under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. The Purchase Agreement provides for an outside termination date of May 16, 2022 (which may be extended to July 13, 2022 in limited circumstances).
Earthstone is in the process of evaluating the accounting treatment of the Bighorn Acquisition. For the purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements presented herein, Earthstone is assuming the Bighorn Acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (referred to as “ASC 805”), using the acquisition method of accounting, with Earthstone identified as the acquirer. The preliminary allocation of the total purchase price in the Bighorn Acquisition is based upon management’s estimates of and assumptions related to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The pro forma financial statements have been prepared to reflect the Bighorn Acquisition accounting adjustments to Earthstone’s historical condensed consolidated financial information in order to account for the Bighorn Acquisition and will include the assumption of liabilities for acquisition-related expenses and the recognition of the estimated tax impact of the pro forma adjustments.
As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 18, 2022 with the SEC, on February 15, 2022, Earthstone completed the acquisition of the assets of Xxxxxxxx Energy Holdings, LLC (the “Xxxxxxxx Acquisition”). At the closing of the Transaction, among other things, EEH acquired interests in oil and gas leases and related property of Xxxxxxxx located in Lea County and Eddy County, New Mexico, for a purchase price consisting of approximately $384.7 million in cash, net of preliminary and customary purchase price adjustments and remains subject to final post-closing settlement between EEH and Xxxxxxxx, and 19,417,476 shares of Class A Common Stock. The purchase agreement related to the Xxxxxxxx Acquisition contains customary representations and warranties for transactions of this nature, as well as customary pre-closing covenants of the parties, including the obligation of Xxxxxxxx to conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and to refrain from taking certain specified actions, subject to certain exceptions.
The Xxxxxxxx Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805 using the acquisition method of accounting, with Earthstone identified as the acquirer. The preliminary allocation of the total purchase price in the Transaction is based upon management’s estimates of and assumptions related to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
1
assumed. The pro forma financial statements have been prepared to reflect the transaction accounting adjustments to Earthstone’s historical condensed consolidated financial information in order to account for the Transaction and will include the assumption of liabilities for acquisition-related expenses and the recognition of the estimated tax impact of the pro forma adjustments.
As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 13, 2021 with the SEC, on January 7, 2021, Earthstone completed the acquisition (the “IRM Acquisition”) of all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests in Independence and certain wholly owned subsidiaries as contemplated in a purchase and sale agreement dated December 17, 2020. On February 24, 2021, Earthstone filed a Current Report on Form 8-K/A for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements giving effect to the IRM Acquisition, as required by Item 9.01(b) of Form 8-K. The IRM Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, with Earthstone identified as the acquirer.
As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 23, 2021 with the SEC, on July 20, 2021, Earthstone completed the acquisition of the assets of Tracker Resource Development III, LLC and TRD III Royalty Holdings (TX), LP (the “Tracker Acquisition”) and the acquisition of the assets of SEG-TRD LLC (“SEG-I”) and SEG-TRD II LLC (the “Sequel Acquisition”) providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements giving effect to the Tracker Acquisition and the Sequel Acquisition, as required by Item 9.01(b) of Form 8-K, both of which were accounted for as asset acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805. The fair value of the consideration paid by us and allocation of that amount to the underlying assets acquired, on a relative fair value basis, were recorded on our books as of the date of the closing of the Tracker Acquisition and the Sequel Acquisition. Additionally, costs directly related to the Tracker Acquisition and the Sequel Acquisition were capitalized as a component of the purchase price.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 gives effect to the Xxxxxxxx Acquisition and the Bighorn Acquisition as if they had been completed on December 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 gives effect to the IRM Acquisition, the Tracker Acquisition, the Sequel Acquisition, the Xxxxxxxx Acquisition and the Bighorn Acquisition (collectively, the “Acquisitions”) as if they had been completed on January 1, 2021. Assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the pro forma condensed combined financial statements. As of the date of issuance of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, Earthstone has not completed the detailed valuation study necessary to arrive at the required final estimates of the fair value of the assets to be acquired and liabilities assumed in the Bighorn Acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet does not purport to represent what Earthstone’s financial position would have been had the Xxxxxxxx Acquisition and Bighorn Acquisition actually been consummated on December 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations does not purport to represent what Earthstone’s results of operations would have been had the Acquisitions actually been consummated on January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not indicative of Earthstone’s future financial position or results of operations and does not reflect future events that may occur after the Acquisitions, including, but not limited to, the anticipated realization of ongoing savings from operating efficiencies, or offsetting unforeseen incremental costs.

EARTHSTONE ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Although the accompanying pro forma condensed combined financial statements (the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”) were not prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by SEC Final Rule Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses, the methodology used to prepare these Pro Forma Financial Statements was based on the rules contemplated therein, with the exception of inclusion of the results presented in the historical consolidated statement of operations of Bighorn Permian Resources, LLC for the Period from February 2, 2021 to December 31, 2021, as opposed to the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The Pro Forma Financial Statements were prepared based on the historical consolidated and combined financial information of Earthstone, Independence, Tracker, Sequel, Xxxxxxxx Holdings and Bighorn. Although Earthstone is in the process of evaluating the accounting treatment of the Bighorn Acquisition, for the purposes of these Pro Forma Financial Statements, the Bighorn Acquisition has been accounted for herein as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805 using the acquisition method of accounting, with Earthstone identified as the acquirer. The preliminary allocation of the total purchase price in the Bighorn Acquisition is based upon management’s estimates of and assumptions related to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The Xxxxxxxx Acquisition, completed on February 15, 2022, has been accounted for herein as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805 using the acquisition method of accounting, with Earthstone identified as the acquirer. The preliminary allocation of the total purchase price in the Bighorn Acquisition is based upon management’s estimates of and assumptions related to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Certain transaction accounting adjustments have been made in order to show the effects of the Bighorn Acquisition on the combined historical financial information of Earthstone, Independence, Tracker, Sequel, Xxxxxxxx Holdings and Bighorn. The Bighorn Acquisition accounting adjustments are preliminary and based on estimates of the purchase consideration and estimates of fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The Bighorn Acquisition accounting adjustments are described in the accompanying notes and are based on available information and certain assumptions that Earthstone believes are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from those reflected in these statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements do not purport to represent what Earthstone’s financial position or results of operations would have been if the Bighorn Acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated above, nor are they indicative of Earthstone’s future financial position or results of operations. Certain information normally included in financial statements and the accompanying notes has been condensed or omitted. These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes of Earthstone, Independence, Tracker, Sequel, Xxxxxxxx Holdings and Bighorn for the periods presented.
The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 gives effect to the Xxxxxxxx Acquisition and the Bighorn Acquisition as if they had been completed on December 31, 2021. The pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 gives effect to the Acquisitions as if they had been completed on January 1, 2021.
Note 2. Accounting Policies and Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 have been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by Earthstone.

The preliminary allocation of the total purchase price in the Transaction is based upon management’s estimates of and assumptions related to the fair value of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed as of December 31, 2021 using currently available information. Because the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final purchase price allocation and the resulting effect on financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts included herein.
The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change due to several factors, including but not limited to changes in the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date of the Transaction, which could result from changes in future oil and natural gas commodity prices, reserve estimates, interest rates, as well as other factors.
For the Xxxxxxxx Acquisition, the consideration transferred, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by Earthstone were initially recorded as follows (in thousands, except share amounts and stock price):
Xxxxxxxx | ||||||||
Consideration: | ||||||||
Shares of Earthstone Class A Common Stock issued | 19,417,476 | |||||||
Earthstone Class A Common Stock price as of February 15, 2022 | $ | 12.85 | ||||||
Class A Common Stock consideration | 249,515 | |||||||
Cash consideration | 384,664 | |||||||
Total consideration transferred | $ | 634,179 | ||||||
Fair value of assets acquired: | ||||||||
Oil and gas properties | $ | 642,757 | ||||||
Amount attributable to assets acquired | $ | 642,757 | ||||||
Fair value of liabilities assumed: | ||||||||
Accrued liabilities | 1,854 | |||||||
Noncurrent liabilities - ARO | 6,724 | |||||||
Amount attributable to liabilities assumed | $ | 8,578 | ||||||
Total consideration was based on the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The consideration paid by Earthstone at closing consisted of 19,417,476 shares of Class A Common Stock and $384.7 million in cash due at closing.

Fair value of liabilities assumed: | ||||||||
Noncurrent liabilities - ARO | 27,430 | |||||||
Amount attributable to liabilities assumed | $ | 27,430 | ||||||
Total consideration is based on the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The consideration expected to be paid by Earthstone at closing consists of 6,808,511 shares of Class A Common Stock with $770 million in cash due at closing.
The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. The fair value of oil and gas properties and asset retirement obligations were measured using the discounted cash flow technique of valuation.
Significant inputs to the valuation of oil and gas properties include estimates of: (i) reserves, (ii) future operating and development costs, (iii) future commodity prices, (iv) future plugging and abandonment costs, (v) estimated future cash flows, and (vi) a market-based weighted average cost of capital rate. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates and are the most sensitive and subject to change.
