General

Amplify Energy Corp. (“Amplify Energy,” “Amplify,” “it” or the “Company”) is a publicly traded Delaware corporation whose common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “AMPY.”

The Company operates in one reportable segment that is engaged in the acquisition, development, exploitation and production of oil and natural gas properties. The Company’s management evaluates performance based on one reportable business segment as there are not different economic environments within the operation of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties. The Company’s assets have historically consisted primarily of producing oil and natural gas properties located in Oklahoma, the Rockies (“Bairoil”), federal waters offshore Southern California (“Beta”), East Texas/North Louisiana and the Eagle Ford (non-op). Most of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties are located in large, mature oil and natural gas reservoirs. The Company’s properties consist primarily of operated and non-operated working interests in producing and undeveloped leasehold acreage and working interests in identified producing wells.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the Company’s opinion, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for fair presentation. Material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The results reported in these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. Furthermore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements included in its 2024 Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, oil and natural gas reserves, fair value estimates, revenue recognition, and contingencies and insurance accounting.

Segments

Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses for which separate operational financial information is available and is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has been determined to be the Company’s CODM and as such, he allocates resources and assesses performance based upon consolidated financial information. See additional information in Note 15.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure. In December 2023, the Federal Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an accounting standard update which requires that companies disclose the nature and magnitude of factors contributing to the difference between their effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate. The update will require companies to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information about items that meet a certain quantitative threshold. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company plans to adopt the guidance during fiscal year 2025, with the first disclosure to be reflected in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial disclosures. Adoption of the update will not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Income Statement –Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which requires disaggregated disclosures of income statement expenses for public business entities. The guidance will require companies to disclose disaggregated information about specific natural expense categories underlying certain income statement expense line items that are considered relevant because they include one or more of the five natural expense categories, as applicable: (1) purchase of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization and (5) depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) recognized as part of oil and gas producing activities or other depletion expenses. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial disclosures. Adoption of the update will not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
