UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
On January 31, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), Crescent Energy Company (“Crescent”) completed its acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding securities of Ridgemar (Eagle Ford) LLC (“Ridgemar EF” and such transaction, the “Ridgemar Acquisition”) pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated December 3, 2024, by and among Crescent Energy Finance LLC (the “Purchaser”), Crescent, Ridgemar Energy Operating, LLC (the “Seller”) and Ridgemar EF.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Seller received aggregate consideration, before customary purchase price adjustments, consisting of (i) $830.0 million in cash (the “Cash Consideration”), and (ii) 5,454,546 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) of Crescent (the “Stock Consideration). Up to $170.0 million in earn-out consideration (the “Contingent Consideration”) may also be paid by Crescent quarterly in fiscal years 2026 and 2027 based on the quarterly NYMEX WTI price of crude oil in fiscal years 2026 and 2027, subject to customary purchase price adjustments set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
The assets and liabilities of Ridgemar EF represent substantially all of the key operating assets of Ridgemar Energy Management, LLC (“Ridgemar”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations (the “pro forma statements of operations”) have been prepared from the respective historical consolidated statements of operations of Crescent and Ridgemar, adjusted to give effect to the Ridgemar Acquisition and the SilverBow Merger as if each had occurred on January 1, 2024. The pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 contains certain reclassification adjustments to conform Ridgemar's historical financial statement presentation with Crescent’s historical financial statement presentation.
The following pro forma statements of operations are based on, and should be read in conjunction with:
•the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Crescent for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Crescent as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and the related notes thereto;
•the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Ridgemar for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes thereto;
•the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 included as Exhibit 99.1 in Crescent's Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 2, 2025; and
•the “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” and the “Risk factors” and other cautionary statements included in Crescent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The pro forma statements of operations were derived by making certain transaction accounting adjustments to the historical statements of operations noted above. The adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions. Therefore, the actual impact of the Ridgemar Acquisition may differ from the adjustments made to the pro forma statements of operations. However, management believes that the assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects for the period presented as if the Ridgemar Acquisition had been consummated earlier, and that all adjustments necessary to fairly present the pro forma statements of operations have been made.
The pro forma statements of operations and related notes are presented for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as an indication of the operating results that Crescent would have achieved if the Purchase Agreement had been entered into and the Ridgemar Acquisition had taken place on the assumed date. The pro forma statements of operations do not reflect future events that may occur after the consummation of the Ridgemar Acquisition, including, but not limited to, the anticipated realization of ongoing savings from potential operating efficiencies, asset dispositions, cost savings, or economies of scale that Crescent may achieve with respect to the combined operations. As a result, future results may vary significantly from the results reflected in the pro forma statements of operations and should not be relied on as an indication of the future results of Crescent.

NOTE 5 – Supplemental unaudited pro forma oil and natural gas reserves information
Oil and natural gas reserves
The following tables present the estimated unaudited pro forma net proved developed and undeveloped oil, natural gas, and NGL reserve information as of December 31, 2024 for Crescent's consolidated operations, along with a summary of changes in quantities of net remaining proved reserves for the year ended December 31, 2024. Crescent's equity affiliates had no proved oil, natural gas, and NGL reserves as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The disclosures below are derived from “Oil and natural gas reserves” for the year ended December 31, 2024 reported in Crescent’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 2, 2025 and Ridgemar’s annual financial statements included within Crescent’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated April 11, 2025. The estimates below are in certain instances presented on a “barrels of oil equivalent or “Boe” basis. To determine Boe in the following tables, natural gas is converted to a crude oil equivalent at the ratio of six Mcf of natural gas to one barrel of crude oil equivalent.
The unaudited pro forma oil and natural gas reserve information is not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the Ridgemar Acquisition been completed on January 1, 2024 and is not intended to be a projection of future results. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected because of various factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” included in Crescent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The unaudited pro forma net proved developed and undeveloped oil, natural gas, and NGL reserves as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the changes in the pro forma quantities of net remaining proved reserves for the year ended December 31, 2024 are as follows:

Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows
The following table presents the estimated unaudited pro forma standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows (the “pro forma standardized measure”) at December 31, 2024. The pro forma standardized measure information set forth below gives effect to the Ridgemar Acquisition as if they had been completed on January 1, 2024. The Ridgemar Acquisition Adjustments reflect adjustments related to the tax effects resulting from the Ridgemar Acquisition. The disclosures below are derived from the “Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows” for the year ended December 31, 2024 reported in Crescent’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 2, 2025 and Ridgemar’s annual financial statements included within Crescent’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated April 11, 2025. An explanation of the underlying methodology applied, as required by SEC regulations, can be
found within the historical financial statements included in Crescent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The calculations assume the continuation of existing economic, operating and contractual conditions at December 31, 2024.
The pro forma standardized measure is not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the Ridgemar Acquisition been completed on January 1, 2024 and is not intended to be a projection of future results. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected because of various factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” included in Crescent’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K.
The pro forma standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and natural gas reserves as of December 31, 2024 is as follows:
