Mach has defined this measure and provided reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (\u201cGAAP\u201d) at the conclusion of this press release under \u201cNon-GAAP Financial Measures and Disclosures.\u201d<\/p>\n About Mach Natural Resources LP<\/b><\/p>\n \nMach Natural Resources LP is an independent upstream oil and gas company focused on the acquisition, development and production of oil, natural gas, and NGL reserves. The Company operates a diversified portfolio across the Anadarko, Permian and San Juan Basins. For more information, please visit www.machnr.com<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Disclosures<\/b><\/p>\n \nThis press release includes non-GAAP financial measures. Pursuant to regulatory disclosure requirements, Mach is required to reconcile non-GAAP financial measures to the related GAAP information. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures are provided below. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures, along with other financial and operational disclosures, are also within the supplemental tables that are available on the Company\u2019s website at www.machnr.com<\/a><\/span> and in the related Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the \u201cSEC\u201d).<\/p>\n Adjusted EBITDA(1)<\/sup><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n \nWe include in this Quarterly Report the supplemental non-GAAP financial performance measure Adjusted EBITDA and provide our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (1) interest expense, net, (2) depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, (3) unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, (4) loss on debt extinguishment, (5) equity-based compensation expense and (6) loss (gain) on sale of assets, net.<\/p>\n \nAdjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial performance measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies and others, to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and our results of operation from period to period and against our peers without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as indicators of our operating performance. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company\u2019s financial performance, such as a company\u2019s cost of capital and tax burden, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual items. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies.<\/p>\n Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Measure to Adjusted EBITDA<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n Three Months Ended<\/b><\/p>\n March 31,<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n ($ in thousands)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 2026<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 2025<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Net Income Reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA:<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Net (loss) income<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(35,038<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n15,886<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nInterest expense, net<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n24,163<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n17,417<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nDepreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n98,173<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n63,585<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nUnrealized loss on derivative instruments<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n103,769<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n42,340<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nLoss on debt extinguishment<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u2014<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n18,540<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nEquity-based compensation expense<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n3,549<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n2,112<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nLoss (gain) on sale of assets<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(29<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Adjusted EBITDA<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n194,624<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n159,851<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements<\/b><\/p>\n This release contains statements that express the Company\u2019s opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results, in contrast with statements that reflect historical facts.
