DERIVATIVES
NOTE 5 - DERIVATIVES

OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGY
The Company uses a variety of derivative financial instruments and physical contracts to manage its exposure to commodity price fluctuations and transportation commitments and to fix margins on the future sale of stored commodity volumes. Derivatives are carried at fair value and on a net basis when a legal right of offset exists with the same counterparty. The Company may occasionally use a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations and interest rate risks. The Company also enters into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
The Company may elect normal purchases and normal sales exclusions when physically delivered commodities are purchased from a vendor or sold to a customer.

CRUDE COLLARS
In February 2026, the Company entered into crude two-way collar derivative instruments beginning in March for the remainder of 2026 to manage its near-term exposure to cash flow variability from crude oil price risk. A two-way collar is a combination of a sold call and a purchased put. The sold call establishes a ceiling price and the purchased put establishes a floor price that the Company will receive for the contracted commodity volume for a defined period of time. Gains and losses associated with changes in the fair value of the collars are recognized in net sales. The collars have a notional volume of 100 Mbbl per day, a floor WTI price of $55.00 per barrel and a weighted average ceiling WTI price of $75.89 per barrel.
MARKETING DERIVATIVES
The Company's marketing derivative instruments are short-duration physical and financial forward contracts. As of March 31, 2026, the weighted-average settlement price of these forward contracts was $85.51 per barrel and $2.09 per Mcf for crude oil and natural gas, respectively. The weighted-average settlement price was $59.59 per barrel and $2.53 per Mcf for crude oil and natural gas, respectively, as of December 31, 2025. Derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value will impact the Company's earnings through mark-to-market adjustments until the physical commodity is delivered or the financial instrument is settled. Net gains and losses associated with marketing derivative instruments are recognized currently in net sales.

CREDIT RISK
The majority of the Company's credit risk is related to the physical delivery of energy commodities to its counterparties and their potential inability to meet their settlement commitments. The Company manages credit risk by selecting counterparties that it believes to be financially strong, by entering into netting arrangements with counterparties and by requiring collateral or other credit risk mitigants, as appropriate. The Company actively evaluates the creditworthiness of its counterparties, assigns appropriate credit limits and monitors credit exposures against those assigned limits. The Company also enters into futures contracts through regulated exchanges with select clearinghouses and brokers, which are subject to minimal credit risk, if any.
