KEY 2Q HIGHLIGHTS

Second quarter 2023 net cash provided by operating activities totaled $142 million, and adjusted cash flows from operations(1) totaled $129 million. Capital expenditures, excluding capitalized interest, totaled $132 million, and equity investments totaled $12 million. Total debt at the end of the second quarter was $85 million.

Commenced Enhanced Oil Recovery (“EOR”) production at the Cedar Creek Anticline (“CCA”) tertiary project, with second quarter tertiary production at CCA averaging 574 Bbl/d. Added four dedicated CO2 sequestration sites to the Company’s portfolio, including one in Texas, two in Louisiana, and one in Wyoming. In addition, executed agreement to transport and sequester 1 million metric tons of CO2 per year for a blue methanol project in Louisiana.

(1) A non-GAAP measure. See accompanying schedules that reconcile GAAP to non-GAAP measures along with a statement indicating why the Company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information for investors.

(2) Calculated using weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 54.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

CEO Comment

Chris Kendall, Denbury’s President and CEO, commented, “I am extremely proud of our team and our accomplishments through the first half of the year. During the second quarter, we commenced initial tertiary production at our flagship CCA CO₂ EOR project and early results from the flood are encouraging. We also continued to advance our CCUS business, adding four new storage sites and an additional contract for transportation and storage. On July 13th, we announced an agreement to combine with ExxonMobil, and we expect to close the transaction in the fourth quarter of this year, subject to stockholder and regulatory approvals. We look forward to bringing our assets and expertise together to accelerate the development of the CCUS industry.”

Oil & Gas Operations Results
	2Q 2023	1Q 2023	2Q 2022
Sales volumes (BOE/d)	46,982	47,655	46,561
Avg. oil price, including hedges ($ per Bbl)	$73.83	$75.36	$77.63
Blue oil (% oil volumes using industrial CO2)	29%	30%	28%
Industrial CO2 injected (million metric tons)	1.09	1.14	1.19
Industrial CO2 injected (% total CO2 used in EOR operations)	43%	40%	41%
Oil & gas development capital ($ 000s)	$103,395	$99,791	$86,290

Approximately 54% of second quarter sales volumes were from the Company’s Gulf Coast assets, with the remaining 46% from the Rocky Mountain region. As compared to the first quarter of the year, Gulf Coast production was lower by 4%, driven primarily by a planned facility turnaround at Delhi and lower crude inventory sales at Tinsley, as expected. Rocky Mountain region sales volumes were slightly higher than in the first quarter of the year, driven by initial tertiary production and higher non-tertiary production at CCA, which more than offset unexpected facility downtime at Bell Creek.

The Company’s average oil price differential per barrel of oil (“Bbl”) in the second quarter of 2023 was $1.14 below the West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) average, a modest improvement from the $1.28 below the WTI average in the first quarter of 2023, driven by Gulf Coast region realizations. Second quarter 2023 commodity hedging receipts totaled $5 million, or $1.24 per Bbl.

Lease operating expenses (“LOE”) in second quarter 2023 totaled $130 million, or $30.48 per barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”). As compared to the first quarter of the year, higher per unit labor, workover and other costs offset reduced power and utilities expenses. CO₂ costs, as part of LOE, were also modestly higher than in the first quarter as the Company began recording a portion of the CO₂ injection at CCA as LOE rather than as capital expenditures following EOR production startup. General and administrative expenses totaled nearly $27 million, higher than first quarter levels driven primarily by employee-related costs, including salaries, bonus accrual, and stock compensation expense related to annual equity grants. Depletion, depreciation, and amortization was $50 million, or $11.63 per BOE for the quarter, higher than first quarter levels as the Company commenced the recording of proved reserves associated with the CCA CO₂ EOR project.

Nearly half of second quarter 2023 oil & gas development capital expenditures were spent on the CCA CO₂ EOR project, primarily focused on the construction of CO₂ recycle facilities and well conversions from secondary to tertiary production. Also in the Rocky Mountain region, capital expenditures included multiple CO₂ flood expansion projects, including drilling activity in the Beaver Creek and Grieve fields. Second quarter capital spend in the Gulf Coast region included the completion of well conversions at the Soso Rodessa Phase 2 EOR development, a heat exchanger project at Delhi, and various other small development projects.

Denbury ended the second quarter with $85 million borrowed on the Company’s bank credit facility, up $56 million from the end of 2022. Financial liquidity as of June 30, 2023 was $655 million, including cash on hand and borrowing capacity under the Company’s credit facility.

Cedar Creek Anticline EOR Development

Tertiary production response at CCA initiated in April 2023, following commissioning of the first CO₂ recycle facility at the end of the first quarter. Second quarter EOR production averaged 574 barrels of oil per day, which includes both incremental response from the CO₂ flood and production associated with the waterflood in responding units. A second CO₂ recycle facility was commissioned in June 2023, and two additional CO₂ recycle facilities are currently being constructed and are anticipated to be commissioned in the fourth quarter of 2023. CCA EOR production is anticipated to continue to increase throughout the remainder of 2023 and through 2024.

Asset Divestment

On June 30, 2023, the Company closed on a transaction whereby it exchanged its 49% non-operated interest in the West Yellow Creek field in Mississippi for a term overriding royalty interest in the field (7% for the first eight years and 3.4% for the next five years). The Company also amended its CO₂ sales contract as part of the transaction to continue selling CO₂ to the West Yellow Creek field operator for a fee. Average production from the West Yellow Creek field was 443 Bbl/d for Denbury in the second quarter of 2023.

Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (“CCUS”) Results

Announced CO2 transport and/or storage offtake (cumulative million metric tons per year)	23	22	7

CCUS capital expenditures ($ 000s)	$28,390	$19,688	$2,951

During the second quarter, Denbury executed an agreement with SunGas Renewables Inc. (“SunGas”) to provide CO₂ transportation and storage services associated with SunGas’ low-carbon methanol facility to be constructed in Pineville, Louisiana. SunGas’ project is planned to commence operation in 2027 with an estimated one million metric tons per year of associated CO₂.

Second quarter 2023 capital expenditures for CCUS primarily represented costs associated with dedicated CO₂ sequestration sites, including lease acquisition bonus, seismic imaging, and land and legal costs. The Company expanded its sequestration portfolio by four sites, including one in Texas, two in Louisiana, and one in Wyoming. The Texas and Louisiana additions, which were previously announced, bring the Company’s Gulf Coast dedicated sequestration portfolio to a total of nine sites and nearly two billion metric tons of CO₂ storage potential. In Wyoming, the Company finalized a definitive agreement for the rights to develop a dedicated CO₂ sequestration site on approximately 19,000 acres in Campbell County, directly underneath the Company’s Greencore CO₂ Pipeline. Denbury estimates potential CO₂ sequestration capacity of the site to be 40 million metric tons, bringing total sequestration capacity for Denbury in the Rocky Mountain region to 80 million metric tons of CO₂ from two sites.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company submitted an application to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) for six Class VI well permits for the Company’s Leo CO₂ sequestration site in Mississippi. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company submitted an additional application to the EPA for six Class VI injection well permits associated with the Draco CO₂ sequestration site in Louisiana, bringing the Company’s total number of submitted Class VI injection permits to 15.

In April 2023, based on the achievement of certain project milestones, the Company invested its remaining $10 million commitment for a total $20 million equity investment into Clean Hydrogen Works, the development company of a blue hydrogen/ammonia project planned in Louisiana.

Outlook

As a result of the Company’s pending merger with ExxonMobil, Denbury’s prior guidance should no longer be relied upon.

Denbury Inc. Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
Reconciliation of net income (GAAP measure) to adjusted net income (non-GAAP measure)
Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure provided as a supplement to present an alternative net income measure which excludes expense and income items (and their related tax effects) not directly related to the Company’s ongoing operations. Management believes that adjusted net income may be helpful to investors by eliminating the impact of noncash and/or special items not indicative of the Company’s performance from period to period, and is widely used by the investment community, while also being used by management, in evaluating the comparability of the Company’s ongoing operational results and trends. Adjusted net income should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, net income or any other measure reported in accordance with GAAP, but rather to provide additional information useful in evaluating the Company’s operational trends and performance.

(1)		Includes the impact of potentially dilutive securities including nonvested restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units, shares to be issued under the employee stock purchase plan and warrants.
(2)		The net change between periods of the fair market values of open commodity derivative positions, excluding the impact of settlements on commodity derivatives during the period.
(3)		Represents an accrual in 2022 of a preliminarily assessed civil penalty proposed in May 2022 by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration related to the Company’s February 2020 Delta-Tinsley pipeline incident and in 2023, represents a true-up to actual adjustment based on finalization of the assessed penalty.
(4)		Expense related to the change in fair value of the contingent consideration payments related to the Company’s March 2021 Wind River Basin CO2 EOR field acquisition.
(5)		Represents the estimated income tax impacts on pre-tax adjustments to net income, which rate incorporates discrete tax adjustments. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, discrete tax adjustments primarily represented the release of the valuation allowance on certain of the Company’s federal and state deferred tax assets totaling $18.8 million and $24.7 million, respectively.

Denbury Inc. Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
Reconciliation of net income (GAAP measure) to Adjusted EBITDAX (non-GAAP measure)
Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-GAAP measure which management uses and excludes certain items that are included in net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Items excluded include interest, income taxes, depletion, depreciation, and amortization, and items that the Company believes affect the comparability of operating results such as items whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated or are nonrecurring. Management believes Adjusted EBITDAX may be helpful to investors in order to assess the Company’s operating performance as compared to that of other companies in the industry, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical costs basis. It is also commonly used by third parties to assess leverage and the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, net income, cash flow from operations, or any other measure reported in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDAX, EBITDAX or EBITDA in the same manner. The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company’s net income to Adjusted EBITDAX.

Denbury Inc. Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
Reconciliation of cash flows from operations (GAAP measure) to adjusted cash flows from operations (non-GAAP measure) and free cash flow (non-GAAP measure)
Adjusted cash flows from operations is a non-GAAP measure that represents cash flows provided by operations before changes in assets and liabilities, as summarized from the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Adjusted cash flows from operations measures the cash flows earned or incurred from operating activities without regard to the collection or payment of associated receivables or payables. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that represents adjusted cash flows from operations less oil and gas development expenditures, CCUS storage sites and related capital expenditures and capitalized interest, but before acquisitions, ARO and equity method investments. Management believes that it is important to consider these additional measures, along with cash flows from operations, as it believes the non-GAAP measures can often be a better way to discuss changes in operating trends in its business caused by changes in sales volumes, prices, operating costs and related factors, without regard to whether the earned or incurred item was collected or paid during that period. Adjusted cash flows from operations and free cash flow are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to cash flows from operations, investing, or financing activities, nor as a liquidity measure or indicator of cash flows.
