Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesDescription of the Company
Diversified Energy Company, a Delaware corporation (“Diversified,” “DEC,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or collectively with its wholly owned
subsidiaries, the “Company”) is an independent energy company engaged in the development, production, transportation and
marketing of natural gas, oil and NGLs. The Company’s assets are located in the United States within the following geographical
operating areas:
Appalachian Region, which spans Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama;
Central Region, which includes Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Louisiana;
Other, which includes Florida and Wyoming.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Pursuant to
such rules and regulations, certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 2025, as included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
statement of our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and include the accounts of our direct and
indirect wholly owned subsidiaries and entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. Intercompany accounts and balances
have been eliminated.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements and related disclosures to conform to current period
presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on previously reported total assets, total liabilities, net income or total operating
cash flows.
Segment Reporting
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company determines its operating segments based on the components of the
business regularly reviewed by the chief executive officer, who serves as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), for purposes
of resource allocation and performance assessment. The CODM evaluates the Company’s operations in a consolidated manner.
Accordingly, the Company has one reportable segment.
The CODM uses consolidated income (loss) before income taxes to allocate resources and assess operating performance, and is also
regularly provided information on lease operating expense, transportation expense, production taxes, and general and administrative
expense, which represent significant segment expenses. Other segment items primarily consist of depreciation, depletion and
amortization, interest expense, and income tax expense (benefit). These amounts are derived from, and can be found within, the
Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Segment profit or loss reconciles directly to consolidated income (loss) before income taxes, with no reconciling items.
The Company’s reportable segment, CODM, segment performance measures, and segment assets remain materially unchanged from
those reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company
maintains cash balances at financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not
experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it faces no significant credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
The Company classifies cash as restricted when contractual or regulatory requirements limit its withdrawal or use for general
corporate purposes. The Company presents restricted cash as either a current or noncurrent asset based on the expected timing of the
related obligations.
Restricted cash primarily consists of:
Amounts the Company holds as collateral for surety bonds or that state agencies require for well abandonment obligations; and
Cash reserves the Company maintains for interest payments and fees related to its asset-backed securitization arrangements,
which an independent indenture trustee administers.
The Company’s accounting policy and the nature of its restricted cash arrangements remain consistent with those described in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, with no material changes during the interim period.
