NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1.
Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations
Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. is a Houston-based energy company which, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is actively engaged in the exploration, development, and production of crude oil, NGLs, and natural gas from resource plays located in the United States. The Company’s current operations are principally focused in proven, producing oil and gas plays in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas and the Permian Basin in West Texas.
Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and therefore do not include all disclosures required for financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s interim financial position, results of operations and cash flows. However, the results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2017
(“
2017
Annual Report”). Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes to the information disclosed in the notes in the 2017 Annual Report. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no material impact on prior period amounts.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
Impact of ASC 606 Adoption
. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective method and has applied the standard to all existing contracts. ASC 606 supersedes previous revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605 - Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”) and includes a five-step revenue recognition model to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration in exchange for those goods or services. As a result of adopting ASC 606, the Company did not have a cumulative-effect adjustment in retained earnings. The comparative information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 has not been recast and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period. Additionally, adoption of ASC 606 did not impact net income attributable to common shareholders and the Company does not expect that it will do so in future periods.
The tables below summarizes the impact of adoption for the
three and six months ended June 30,
2018

Changes to crude oil, NGL, and natural gas revenues and lease operating expense are due to the conclusion that the Company controls the product throughout processing before transferring to the customer for certain natural gas processing arrangements. Therefore, any transportation, gathering, and processing fees incurred prior to transfer of control are included in lease operating expense.
The Company’s revenues are comprised solely of revenues from customers and include the sale of crude oil, NGLs, and natural gas. The Company believes that the disaggregation of revenue into these three major product types appropriately depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors based on our single geographic location. Crude oil, NGL, and natural gas revenues are recognized at a point in time when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, delivery has occurred, control has transferred and collectability of the revenue is probable. The transaction price used to recognize revenue is a function of the contract billing terms. Revenue is invoiced by calendar month based on volumes at contractually based rates with payment typically required within 30 days of the end of the production month. At the end of each month when the performance obligation is satisfied, the variable consideration can be reasonably estimated and amounts due from customers are accrued in “Accounts receivable, net” in the consolidated balance sheets. As of
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, receivables from contracts with customers were
$87.1 million
and
$85.6 million
, respectively. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities on crude oil, NGL, and natural gas sales are presented separately from such revenues in the consolidated statements of income.
Crude oil sales.
Crude oil production is primarily sold at the wellhead at an agreed upon index price, net of pricing differentials. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the purchaser at the wellhead, net of transportation costs incurred by the purchaser.
Natural gas and NGL sales.
Natural gas is delivered to a midstream processing entity at the wellhead or the inlet of the midstream processing entity’s system. The midstream processing entity gathers and processes the natural gas and remits proceeds for the resulting sales of NGLs and residue gas. The Company evaluates whether it is the principal or agent in the transaction and has concluded it is the principal and the ultimate third party is the customer. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis, with gathering, processing and transportation fees presented in “Lease operating expense” in the consolidated statements of income as the Company maintains control throughout processing.
Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations
. The Company applied the practical expedient in ASC 606 exempting the disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Each unit of product typically represents a separate performance obligation, therefore, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Business Combinations.
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”), which clarifies the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or divestitures) of assets or businesses. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2017-01 using the prospective method and will apply the clarified definition of a business to future acquisition and divestitures.
Statement of Cash Flows.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues for which current GAAP is either unclear or does not include specific guidance. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-15 using the retrospective approach as prescribed by ASU 2016-15. There were no changes to the statement of cash flows as a result of adoption.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Leases.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which significantly changes accounting for leases by requiring that lessees recognize a right-of-use asset and a related lease liability representing the obligation to make lease payments, for virtually all lease transactions. ASU 2016-02 does not apply to leases of mineral rights to explore for or use crude oil and natural gas. Additional disclosures about an entity’s lease transactions will also be required. ASU 2016-02 defines a lease as “a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration.” ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. ASU 2016-02 requires companies to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements using a modified retrospective approach.
The Company is in the process of reviewing and determining the contracts to which ASU 2016-02 applies with the assistance of a third party consultant. These include contracts such as non-cancelable leases, drilling rig contracts, pipeline gathering, transportation and gas processing agreements, and contracts for the use of vehicles and well equipment. The Company continues to review current accounting policies, controls, processes, and disclosures that will change as a result of adopting the new standard. Based upon its initial assessment, the Company expects the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in: (i) an increase in assets and liabilities due to the required recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities, (ii) increases in depreciation, depletion and amortization and interest expense, (iii) decreases in lease operating and general and administrative expense and (iv) additional disclosures, however, the full impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures is still being evaluated. Currently, the Company plans to make certain elections allowing the Company not to reassess contracts that commenced prior to adoption, to continue applying its current accounting policy for land easements, and not to recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases. The Company plans to adopt the guidance on the effective date of January 1, 2019. As permitted by ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, the Company does not expect to adjust comparative-period financial statements.
Other than as disclosed above or in the Company’s 2017 Form 10-K, there are no other accounting standard updates applicable to the Company that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures that have been issued but not yet adopted by the Company as of June 30, 2018, and through the filing of this report.

5.
Income Taxes
The Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rates are used to allocate expected annual income tax expense or benefit to interim periods. The rates are the ratio of estimated annual income tax expense or benefit to estimated annual income or loss before income taxes by taxing jurisdiction, except for discrete items, which are significant, unusual or infrequent items for which income taxes are computed and recorded in the interim period in which the discrete item occurs. The estimated annual effective income tax rates are applied to the year-to-date income or loss before income taxes by taxing jurisdiction to determine the income tax expense or benefit allocated to the interim period. The Company updates its estimated annual effective income tax rates on a quarterly basis considering the geographic mix of the estimated annual income or loss attributable to the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
The Company’s income tax expense differs from the income tax expense computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory corporate income tax rate of
21%
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and
35%
for the
three and six months ended June 30,
2017, to income before income taxes as follows:

Significant changes in the Company’s operations, including the ExL Acquisition in the Delaware Basin in the third quarter of 2017 and divestitures of substantially all of the Company’s assets in the Utica and Marcellus in the fourth quarter of 2017 and the Niobrara in the first quarter of 2018, resulted in changes to the Company’s state apportionment for estimated state deferred tax liabilities. As a result of these changes, the Company recorded current and deferred state income tax expense of
$0.5 million
and
$0.8 million
for the
three and six months ended June 30,
2018
, respectively.
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Congress enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) which made significant changes to U.S. federal income tax law, including lowering the U.S. federal statutory corporate income tax rate to
21%
from
35%
beginning January 1, 2018. Due to the uncertainty regarding the application of ASC 740 in the period of enactment of the Act, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 which allowed the Company to provide a provisional estimate of the impacts of the Act in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2017 and also provided a one-year measurement period in which the Company would record additional impacts from the enactment of the Act as they are identified. As of
June 30, 2018
, the Company has not made any changes to the provisional estimate recorded in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2017. While the Company has made a reasonable estimate of the effects on its existing deferred tax balances, it has not completed its accounting for the tax effects of the enactment of the Act and will continue to monitor provisions with discrete rate impacts, such as the limitation on executive compensation for subsequent events and additional guidance provided within the one year measurement period.
Deferred Tax Assets Valuation Allowance
Primarily as a result of the impairments of proved oil and gas properties recognized beginning in the third quarter of 2015 and continuing through the third quarter of 2016, the Company had a cumulative historical three year pre-tax loss and a net deferred tax asset position at June 30, 2018. The Company then assessed the realizability of its deferred tax assets and, beginning in the third quarter of 2015 and continuing through the second quarter of 2018, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized and that a valuation allowance was required to reduce the net deferred tax assets to
zero
. As of
June 30, 2018
and December 31, 2017, the valuation allowance was
$316.5 million
and
$333.0 million
, respectively. See
the table above for changes in the valuation allowance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, which primarily related to activity during each respective period and, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the effect of adopting ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has a senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks that, as of
June 30, 2018
, had a borrowing base of
$1.0 billion
, with an elected commitment amount of
$900.0 million
, and borrowings outstanding of
$485.0 million
at a weighted average interest rate of
3.74%
. The credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility provides for interest-only payments until May 4, 2022 (subject to a springing maturity date of June 15, 2020 if the
7.50%
Senior Notes due 2020 (the “
7.50%
Senior Notes”) have not been redeemed or refinanced on or prior to such time), when the credit agreement matures and any outstanding borrowings are due. The borrowing base under the credit agreement is subject to regular redeterminations in the spring and fall of each year, as well as special redeterminations described in the credit agreement, which in each case may reduce the amount of the borrowing base. The amount the Company is able to borrow with respect to the borrowing base is subject to compliance with the financial covenants and other provisions of the credit agreement. The capitalized terms which are not defined in this description of the revolving credit facility, shall have the meaning given to such terms in the credit agreement.
On January 31, 2018, as a result of the divestiture in the Eagle Ford Shale discussed above, the Company’s borrowing base under the senior secured revolving credit facility was reduced from
$900.0 million
to
$830.0 million
, however, the elected commitment amount remained unchanged at
$800.0 million
.
On May 4, 2018, the Company entered into the twelfth amendment to its credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility to, among other things, (i) establish the borrowing base at
$1.0 billion
, with an elected commitment amount of
$900.0 million
, until the next redetermination thereof, (ii) reduce the applicable margin for Eurodollar loans from
2.0%
-
3.0%
to
1.5%
-
2.5%
, depending on level of facility usage, (iii) amend the covenant limiting payment of dividends and distributions on equity to increase the Company’s ability to make dividends and distributions on its equity interests and (iv) amend certain other provisions, in each case as set forth therein.
The obligations of the Company under the credit agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and are secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s assets, including a mortgage lien on oil and gas properties having at least
90%
of the total value of the oil and gas properties included in the Company’s reserve report used in its most recent redetermination.
Borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement bear interest at the Company’s option at either (i) a base rate for a base rate loan plus the margin set forth in the table below, where the base rate is defined as the greatest of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus
0.50%
and the adjusted LIBO rate plus
1.00%
, or (ii) an adjusted LIBO rate for a Eurodollar loan plus the margin set forth in the table below. The Company also incurs commitment fees at rates as set forth in the table below on the unused portion of lender commitments, which are included in “Interest expense, net” in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company is subject to certain covenants under the terms of the credit agreement, which include the maintenance of the following financial covenants determined as of the last day of each quarter: (1) a ratio of Total Debt to EBITDA of not more than
4.00
to 1.00 and (2) a Current Ratio of not less than
1.00
to 1.00. As defined in the credit agreement, Total Debt excludes debt premiums and debt issuance costs and is net of cash and cash equivalents, EBITDA will be calculated based on the last four fiscal quarters after giving pro forma effect to EBITDA for material acquisitions and divestitures of oil and gas properties, and the Current Ratio includes an add back of the unused portion of lender commitments. As of
June 30, 2018
, the ratio of Total Debt to EBITDA was
2.53
to 1.00 and the Current Ratio was
1.49
to 1.00. Because the financial covenants are determined as of the last day of each quarter, the ratios can fluctuate significantly period to period as the level of borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement are impacted by the timing of cash flows from operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions and divestitures of oil and gas properties and securities offerings.
The credit agreement also places restrictions on the Company and certain of its subsidiaries with respect to additional indebtedness, liens, dividends and other payments to shareholders, repurchases or redemptions of the Company’s common stock, redemptions of senior notes, investments, acquisitions and divestitures of oil and gas properties, mergers, transactions with affiliates, hedging transactions and other matters.
The credit agreement is subject to customary events of default, including in connection with a change in control. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders may elect to accelerate amounts due under the credit agreement (except in the case of a bankruptcy event of default, in which case such amounts will automatically become due and payable).
Redemptions of 7.50% Senior Notes
During the first quarter of 2018, the Company redeemed
$320.0 million
of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of its
7.50%
Senior Notes at a price equal to
101.875%
of par. Upon the redemptions, the Company paid
$336.9 million
, which included redemption premiums of
$6.0 million
as well as accrued and unpaid interest of
$10.9 million
from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the redemption date. As a result of the redemptions, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of
$8.7 million
, which included the redemption premiums of
$6.0 million
paid to redeem the notes and non-cash charges of
$2.7 million
attributable to the write-off of unamortized premium and debt issuance costs.
Redemption of Other Long-Term Debt
On May 3, 2018, the Company redeemed the remaining
$4.4 million
outstanding principal amount of its
4.375%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 at a price equal to
100%
of par. Upon redemption, the Company paid
$4.5 million
, which included accrued and unpaid interest of
$0.1 million
from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the redemption date.
7.
Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is party to certain legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these events cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not currently expect these matters to have a materially adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
The results of operations and financial position of the Company continue to be affected from time to time in varying degrees by domestic and foreign political developments as well as legislation and regulations pertaining to restrictions on oil and gas production, imports and exports, natural gas regulation, tax increases, environmental regulations and cancellation of contract rights. Both the likelihood and overall effect of such occurrences on the Company vary greatly and are not predictable.
8.
Preferred Stock and Warrants
On August 10, 2017, the Company closed on the issuance and sale in a private placement of (i)
$250.0 million
initial liquidation preference (
250,000

8.875%
redeemable preferred stock, par value
$0.01
per share (the “Preferred Stock”) and (ii) warrants for
2,750,000
shares of the Company’s common stock, with a term of
ten
years and an exercise price of

per share, exercisable only on a net share settlement basis (the “Warrants”), for a cash purchase price equal to
$970.00
per share of Preferred Stock, to certain funds managed or sub-advised by GSO Capital Partners LP and its affiliates (the “GSO Funds”).
The Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of
$1,000.00
per share and bears an annual cumulative dividend rate of

$1,000.00
per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends in an amount not to exceed the sum of the cash proceeds of divestitures of oil and gas properties and related assets, the sale or issuance of the Company’s common stock and the sale of any of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. In the first quarter of 2018, the Company redeemed
50,000
shares of Preferred Stock, representing
20%
of the issued and outstanding Preferred Stock. Upon redemption, the Company paid
$50.5 million
, which consisted of
$1,000.00
per share of Preferred Stock redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, with a portion of the proceeds from the divestitures of oil and gas properties. See “Note
3.

Stock-Based Compensation
Equity-Based Incentive Awards Plans
The Company grants equity-based incentive awards under the 2017 Incentive Plan of Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. (the “2017 Incentive Plan”) and the Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. Cash-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (“Cash SAR Plan”). The 2017 Incentive Plan replaced the Incentive Plan of Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc., as amended and restated effective May 15, 2014 (the “Prior Incentive Plan”) and, from the effective date of the 2017 Incentive Plan, no further awards may be granted under the Prior Incentive Plan. However, awards previously granted under the Prior Incentive Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. Under the 2017 Incentive Plan, the Company can grant restricted stock awards and units, stock appreciation rights that can be settled in shares of common stock or cash at the option of the Company, performance shares, stock options, and cash awards to employees, independent contractors, and non-employee directors. Under the Cash SAR Plan, the Company can grant stock appreciation rights that may only be settled in cash (“Cash SARs”) to employees and independent contractors.
The 2017 Incentive Plan provides that up to
2,675,000
shares of the Company’s common stock, plus the shares remaining available for awards under the Prior Incentive Plan at the effective date of the 2017 Incentive Plan, may be issued (the “Maximum Share Limit”). Each restricted stock award, restricted stock unit, or performance share granted under the 2017 Incentive Plan counts as
1.35
shares against the Maximum Share Limit. Each stock option and stock appreciation right to be settled in shares of common stock (“Stock SAR”) granted under the 2017 Incentive Plan counts as
1.00
share against the Maximum Share Limit. Each stock appreciation right to be settled in shares of common stock or cash (“Incentive SAR”) granted under the 2017 Incentive Plan counts as
1.00
share against the Maximum Share Limit up to the date the Company, if it so chooses, affirmatively elects to settle the stock appreciation right in cash. Each stock appreciation right to be settled in cash (“Incentive Cash SAR”) granted under the 2017 Incentive Plan or Cash SAR does not count against the Maximum Share Limit. As of
June 30, 2018
, there were
326,774
common shares remaining available for grant under the 2017 Incentive Plan.

The number of performance shares that vest may vary from the number of target performance shares granted depending on the Company
’
s final TSR ranking for the approximate three-year performance period.

During the
six months ended June 30,
2018
, the Company granted
93,771
target performance shares to certain employees and independent contractors, all of which occurred in the first quarter of 2018 as part of the Company’s annual grant of long-term equity incentive awards. Each performance share represents the right to receive one share of common stock, however, the number of performance shares that will vest ranges from
zero
to
200%
of the target performance shares granted based on the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of the Company’s common stock relative to the TSR achieved by a specified industry peer group over an approximate
three
-year performance period, the last day of which is also the vesting date.
Also during the
six months ended June 30,
2018
, the Company vested
49,458
performance shares that were granted in 2015. As a result of the Company’s final TSR ranking during the performance period, a multiplier of
88%
was applied to the
56,517
target performance shares that were granted in 2015, resulting in
7,059
performance shares that did not vest.
The grant date fair value of the performance shares, calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation, was
$1.8 million
. The following table summarizes the assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of the performance shares granted during the
six months ended June 30,

Derivative Instruments
Commodity Derivative Instruments
The Company uses commodity derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to commodity price volatility for a portion of its forecasted production and thereby achieve a more predictable level of cash flows to support the Company’s capital expenditure program and fixed costs.
The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company’s commodity derivative instruments consist of price swaps, three-way collars, basis swaps, and purchased and sold call options, which are described below.
Price Swaps:
The Company receives a fixed price and pays an index price to the counterparty over specified periods for contracted volumes.
Three-Way Collars:
A three-way collar is a combination of options including a purchased put option (fixed floor price), a sold call option (fixed ceiling price) and a sold put option (fixed sub-floor price). These contracts offer a higher fixed ceiling price relative to a costless collar but limit the Company’s protection from decreases in commodity prices below the fixed floor price. At settlement, if the published index price is between the fixed floor price and the fixed sub-floor price or is above the fixed ceiling price, the Company receives the fixed floor price or pays the index price, respectively. If the index price is below the fixed sub-floor price, the Company receives the index price plus the difference between the fixed floor price and the fixed sub-floor price. If the index price is between the fixed floor price and fixed ceiling price, no payments are due from either party. The Company has incurred premiums on certain of these contracts in order to obtain a higher floor price and/or ceiling price.
Basis Swaps:
Basis swaps fix the price differential between a published index price and the applicable local index price under which our production is sold. For the Company’s Permian oil production, the basis swaps fix the price differential between the Midland WTI price and the Cushing WTI price and for the Company’s Eagle Ford oil production, the basis swaps fix the price differential between the LLS price and the Cushing WTI price.
Sold Call Options
: These contracts give the counterparty the right, but not the obligation, to buy contracted volumes from the Company over specified periods and prices in the future. At settlement, if the index price exceeds the fixed price of the call option, the Company pays the counterparty the excess. If the index price settles below the fixed price of the call option, no payment is due from either party. These contracts require the counterparty to pay premiums to the Company that represent the fair value of the call option as of the date of sale. All of the Company’s natural gas sold call options were executed contemporaneously with certain crude oil price swaps to increase the fixed price on those crude oil price swaps. Those certain crude oil price swaps settled prior to
2018
.
Purchased Call Options
: These contracts give the Company the right, but not the obligation, to buy contracted volumes from the counterparty over specified periods and prices in the future. At settlement, if the index price exceeds the fixed price of the call option, the counterparty pays the Company the excess. If the index price settles below the fixed price of the call option, no payment is due from either party. These contracts require the Company to pay premiums to the counterparty that represent the fair value of the call option as of the date of purchase. All of the Company’s purchased crude oil call options were executed contemporaneously with sold crude oil call options to increase the fixed price on a portion of the existing sold crude oil call options and therefore are presented on a net basis as “Net Sold Call Options” in the table below.
Premiums
: In order to increase the fixed price on a portion of the Company’s existing sold call options, the Company incurred premiums on its purchased call options. Additionally, in order to obtain a higher floor price and/or ceiling price, the Company incurred premiums on certain of its three-way collars. Payment of these premiums are deferred until the applicable contracts settle on a monthly basis throughout the term of the contract or, in some cases, during the final 12 months of the contract and are referred to as deferred premium obligations.

The Company typically has numerous hedge positions that span several time periods and often result in both commodity derivative asset and liability positions held with that counterparty. The Company nets its commodity derivative instrument fair values executed with the same counterparty, along with deferred premium obligations, to a single asset or liability pursuant to ISDA master agreements, which provide for net settlement over the term of the contract and in the event of default or termination of the contract.
Counterparties to the Company’s commodity derivative instruments who are also lenders under the Company’s credit agreement (“Lender Counterparty”) allow the Company to satisfy any need for margin obligations associated with commodity derivative instruments where the Company is in a net liability position with the Lender Counterparty with the collateral securing the credit agreement, thus eliminating the need for independent collateral posting. Counterparties to the Company’s commodity derivative instruments who are not lenders under the Company’s credit agreement (“Non-Lender Counterparty”) can require commodity derivative instruments where the Company’s net liability position exceeds the Company’s unsecured credit limit with the Non-Lender Counterparty to be novated to a Lender Counterparty and therefore do not require the posting of cash collateral.
Because each Lender Counterparty has an investment grade credit rating and the Company has obtained a guaranty from each Non-Lender Counterparty’s parent company which has an investment grade credit rating, the Company believes it does not have significant credit risk and accordingly does not currently require its counterparties to post collateral to support the net asset positions of its commodity derivative instruments. Although the Company does not currently anticipate nonperformance from its counterparties, it continually monitors the credit ratings of each Lender Counterparty and each Non-Lender Counterparty’s parent company.
Contingent Consideration Arrangements
In connection with the ExL Acquisition and in each of the divestitures of the Company’s assets in the Niobrara in the first quarter of 2018 and the Marcellus and Utica in the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company agreed to contingent consideration arrangements that could allow the Company to receive or be required to pay certain amounts if commodity prices are above specific thresholds, which are summarized in the table below. See “Note
3.
Acquisitions and Divestitures of Oil and Gas Properties” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as “Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures of Oil and Gas Properties” included in the 2017 Annual Report for details of the ExL Acquisition and each of the divestitures discussed above.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities
All commodity derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. The deferred premium obligations associated with the Company’s commodity derivative instruments are recorded in the period in which they are incurred and are netted with the commodity derivative instrument fair value asset or liability pursuant to the netting arrangements described above. Each of the contingent consideration arrangements discussed above were determined to be embedded derivatives and are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value at the acquisition or divestiture date, as well as each subsequent balance sheet date.
The combined derivative instrument fair value assets and liabilities, including deferred premium obligations, recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as of
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017

(Gain) Loss on Derivatives, Net
The Company has elected not to meet the criteria to qualify its commodity derivative instruments for hedge accounting treatment. Therefore, all gains and losses as a result of changes in the fair value of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments, as well as its contingent consideration arrangements, are recognized as “(Gain) loss on derivatives, net” in the consolidated statements of income in the period in which the changes occur. All deferred premium obligations associated with the Company’s commodity derivative instruments are recognized in “(Gain) loss on derivatives, net” in the consolidated statements of income in the period in which the deferred premium obligations are incurred. The effects of commodity derivative instruments, deferred premium obligations and contingent consideration arrangements in the consolidated statements of income for the
three and six months ended June 30,
2018

Cash Received (Paid) for Derivative Settlements, Net
Cash flows are impacted to the extent that settlements of commodity derivatives, including deferred premium obligations, and settlements of contingent consideration arrangements result in cash receipts or payments during the period and are presented as “Cash received (paid) for derivative settlements, net” in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Cash payments made to settle contingent consideration liabilities are classified as cash flows from financing activities up to the divestiture or acquisition date fair value with any excess classified as cash flows from operating activities. For the
three and six months ended June 30,
2018
and
2017
, the Company did not receive or pay cash for the contingent consideration arrangements. The net cash received (paid) for settlements of commodity derivatives and deferred premium obligations in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the

Fair Value Measurements
Accounting guidelines for measuring fair value establish 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 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which the Company makes its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets and liabilities.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following tables summarize the Company’s commodity derivative instrument and contingent consideration arrangement assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of

The commodity derivative and contingent consideration arrangement asset and liability fair values reported in the consolidated balance sheets are as of the balance sheet date and subsequently change as a result of changes in commodity prices, market conditions and other factors.
Commodity derivative instruments.
The fair value of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments is based on a third-party industry-standard pricing model which uses contract terms and prices and assumptions and inputs that are substantially observable in active markets throughout the full term of the instruments including forward oil and gas price curves, discount rates and volatility factors, and are therefore designated as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. The fair values are also compared to the values provided by the counterparties for reasonableness and are adjusted for the counterparties’ credit quality for commodity derivative assets and the Company’s credit quality for commodity derivative liabilities.
The Company typically has numerous hedge positions that span several time periods and often result in both commodity derivative asset and liability positions held with that counterparty. Deferred premium obligations are netted with the commodity derivative asset and liability positions, which are all offset to a single asset or liability, at the end of each reporting period. The Company nets the fair values of its assets and liabilities associated with commodity derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty, along with deferred premium obligations, pursuant to ISDA master agreements, which provide for net settlement over the term of the contract and in the event of default or termination of the contract. The Company had
no
transfers into Level 1 and
no
transfers into or out of Level 2 for the
six months ended June 30,
2018
and
2017
.
Contingent consideration arrangements.
The fair values of the contingent consideration arrangements were determined by a third-party valuation specialist using Monte Carlo simulations including significant inputs such as forward oil and gas price curves, discount rates and volatility factors. As some of these assumptions are not observable throughout the full term of the contingent consideration arrangements, the contingent consideration arrangements were designated as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. The Company reviewed the valuations, including the related inputs, and analyzed changes in fair value measurements between periods.
The following table presents the reconciliation of changes in the fair values of the contingent consideration arrangements, which were designated as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, for the
six months ended June 30,
2018

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The fair value measurements of asset retirement obligations are measured as of the date a well is drilled or when production equipment and facilities are installed using a discounted cash flow model based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore are designated as Level 3 inputs. Significant inputs to the fair value measurement of asset retirement obligations include estimates of the costs of plugging and abandoning oil and gas wells, removing production equipment and facilities and restoring the surface of the land as well as estimates of the economic lives of the oil and gas wells and future inflation rates.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The Company’s other financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and payables approximate fair value due to the highly liquid or short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of long-term debt associated with borrowings outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility approximates fair value as borrowings bear interest at variable rates. The following table presents the carrying amounts of the Company’s senior notes and other long-term debt, which are designated as Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy, net of unamortized premiums and debt issuance costs, with the fair values measured using quoted secondary market trading prices.

Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
The rules of the SEC require that condensed consolidating financial information be provided for a subsidiary that has guaranteed the debt of a registrant issued in a public offering, where the guarantee is full, unconditional and joint and several and where the voting interest of the subsidiary is
100%
owned by the registrant. The Company is, therefore, presenting condensed consolidating financial information on a parent company, combined guarantor subsidiaries, combined non-guarantor subsidiaries and consolidated basis and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements. The financial information may not necessarily be indicative of results of operations, cash flows, or financial position had such guarantor subsidiaries operated as independent entities.
