Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Permian Resources Corporation is an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the acquisition, optimization and development of crude oil and associated liquids-rich natural gas reserves. The Company’s assets and operations are located in the Permian Basin, with a concentration in the core of the Delaware Basin. Its properties consist of large, contiguous acreage blocks located in West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, all references in these notes to “Permian Resources” or the “Company” are to Permian Resources Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries including, Permian Resources Operating, LLC (“OpCo”).
Corporation Reorganization
On January 7, 2026, the Company completed a corporate reorganization pursuant to which it, among other things, reorganized under a new public holding company (the “Reorganization”). In connection with the Reorganization, the public holding company prior to the Reorganization became a wholly owned subsidiary of the new public holding company, which, following completion of the Reorganization, changed its name to “Permian Resources Corporation”, became the successor issuer of the prior public holding company and replaced the prior public holding company as the company trading on the NYSE, with shares of Class A Common Stock continuing to trade on the NYSE on an uninterrupted basis. There were no changes to the Company’s board of directors, executive officers, operations, name or public company trading following the Reorganization. The Reorganization was completed in an effort, among other things, to simplify the Company’s current equity structure. Refer to Note 9—Shareholders’ Equity and Noncontrolling Interest for further information around the changes to the equity structure.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain disclosures normally included in an Annual Report on Form 10-K have been omitted or abbreviated. The consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”). Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes to the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Annual Report. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income, cash flows or shareholders’ equity previously reported.
In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments and accruals considered necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s interim financial results have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiary OpCo and OpCo’s wholly owned subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interest represents third-party ownership in OpCo and as of March 31, 2026, was fully eliminated. Refer to Note 9—Shareholders’ Equity and Noncontrolling Interest for a discussion of noncontrolling interest.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires the Company’s management to make various assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosures of commitments and contingencies. Changes in these assumptions, judgments and estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events, and accordingly, actual results could differ from amounts previously established. Additionally, the prices received for oil, NGL and natural gas production can heavily influence the Company’s assumptions, judgments and estimates, and continued volatility of oil and gas prices could have a significant impact on the Company’s estimates.
The more significant areas requiring the use of assumptions, judgments and estimates include: (i) oil and natural gas reserves; (ii) cash flow estimates used in impairment tests for long-lived assets; (iii) impairment expense of unproved properties; (iv) depreciation, depletion and amortization; (v) asset retirement obligations; (vi) determining fair value and allocating purchase price in connection with business combinations and asset acquisitions; (vii) accrued revenues and related receivables; (viii) accrued liabilities; (ix) derivative valuations; (x) deferred income taxes; and (xi) determining the fair values of certain stock-based compensation awards.
Leases
The Company has operating leases for drilling rig contracts, office rental agreements and other wellhead equipment and a financing lease for a ground lease for its office building in Midland, Texas. The Company did not enter into any material, non-routine leases during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
The following table provides additional information related to the Company’s lease assets and liabilities as presented on the balance sheet for the periods presented:

Income Taxes
The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income or loss of OpCo, as well as any stand-alone income generated by the Company. OpCo is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, OpCo is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income generated by OpCo is passed through to and included in the taxable income of its members, including the Company, on a pro rata basis.
Income tax expense recognized during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to the Company’s year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various state jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.
Segment Reporting
The nature of the Company’s operations and geographical location of such are concentrated to exploration and production of oil and natural gas within the Permian Basin. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is each of its Co-Chief Executive Officers who manage and review the Company’s operations on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, the Company operates in one reportable segment.
The CODM uses consolidated net income to measure profit or loss, assess performance and make key operating decisions. Additionally, the CODM utilizes cash flows to facilitate investment decisions, including determining future levels of developmental capital expenditures, assessing potential acquisitions and divestitures, assessing appropriate returns of capital to shareholders and other strategic sources and uses of capital. The CODM does not generally evaluate performance using asset information. Consolidated net income and all significant expenses are reported within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations while cash flows are presented on the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires public business entities to disclose specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The adoption of this ASU is anticipated to impact only disclosure requirements, and as a result, no impact is expected on the Company’s balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows
