FULL YEAR 2021 GUIDANCE AND FIRST QUARTER UPDATE
Please note the guidance below gives effect to the pending Guidon acquisition that is expected to close on February 26, 2021, but does not take into account the impact of the pending all-stock acquisition of QEP. Assuming the pending QEP transaction is completed, Diamondback will provide updated guidance giving effect to that transaction.
- Full year 2021 oil production guidance of 178 – 185 MBO/d (308 – 325 MBOE/d)
- Full year 2021 cash CAPEX guidance of
$1.35 –$1.55 billion - The Company expects to drill between 180 – 200 gross (156 - 172 net) wells and complete between 215 – 235 gross (197 – 215 net) wells with an average lateral length of approximately 10,100 feet in 2021
- Diamondback expects the production impact from recent winter storms in the Permian Basin will be in the range of four to five days of total net production lost in the first quarter of 2021. For reference, Diamondback's full month January 2021 actual average daily production was 175.7 MBO/d (304.0 MBOE/d)
- Prior to the winter storms, Diamondback expected its Q1 2021 production guidance to equal its Q4 2020 guidance of 170 to 175 MBO/d (290 - 305 MBOE/d) without giving effect to one month of Guidon production of approximately 12 MBO/d (20 MBOE/d)
“Diamondback executed flawlessly in the fourth quarter of 2020, setting the Company up well for continued solid operational performance in 2021. The benefits of the Company's strategy to move activity to our most productive areas is now starting to pay dividends in terms of capital efficiency and early-time well performance. While the impact of the recent winter storms in the Permian Basin will be significant for first quarter production, we expect to overcome this adversity for the full year 2021 and I am proud of how our field organization responded to this challenge. Well costs and cash operating costs remain near all-time lows, which provide for increased returns to our stockholders as commodity prices have risen in recent months," stated Travis Stice, Chief Executive Officer of Diamondback.
Mr. Stice continued, “We are still operating in a market supported by supply that is being purposely withheld to allow global inventories to decline as demand recovers from the depths of the global pandemic. Diamondback continues to see no need to grow oil production into this artificially undersupplied market, and instead plans to hold fourth quarter 2020 production flat while generating Free Cash Flow used to pay our dividend and pay down debt. The Board's decision to increase the dividend today exhibits its confidence in the forward development plan released today, which further demonstrates our commitment to capital discipline. We look forward to closing and successfully integrating the Guidon assets and the pending QEP merger, and will be prepared to update the market on our pro-forma plan as soon as practicable. As I have mentioned previously, using Free Cash Flow to pay down debt does not preclude Diamondback from increasing cash returns to stockholders."
DIVIDEND INCREASE AND DECLARATION
Diamondback announced today that the Company's Board of Directors approved a
ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY UPDATE
Diamondback today announced significant changes to its environmental, social and governance ("ESG") performance and disclosure, including Scope 1 and methane emissions intensity reduction targets as well as a commitment to point forward Scope 1 carbon neutrality, or "Net Zero Now." The Company plans to update investors on its progress on the below initiatives in both quarterly reporting as well as in its annual Corporate Responsibility Report, which is traditionally published in the third quarter.
- Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Intensity Reduction Targets
° Diamondback is committing to reduce its Scope 1 GHG intensity by at least50% from 2019 levels by 2024
° Diamondback is committing to reduce its methane intensity by at least70% from 2019 levels by 2024
° More detail on the breakdown of and plan to reduce Diamondback's current emissions can be found in the Company's investor presentation posted to its website - "Net Zero Now"
° Diamondback today announced the "Net Zero Now" initiative, which means that as of January 1, 2021, every hydrocarbon molecule produced by Diamondback is anticipated to be produced with zero net Scope 1 emissions
° The GHG and methane intensity reduction targets announced today are the primary focus of the Company as it relates to environmental responsibility, and the Company recognizes it will still have a carbon footprint. Therefore, carbon offset credits will be purchased to offset the remaining emissions
° Should the Company exceed its GHG reduction targets, then less carbon offset credits will need to be purchased, incentivizing the Company to continue to reduce its Scope 1 carbon footprint
° The Company, or one of its subsidiaries, intends to eventually invest in income-generating projects that will more directly offset its remaining Scope 1 emissions - Plan to increase the weighting of ESG metrics in the Company's 2021 annual short-term incentive ("STI") plan to a weighting of
20% from15% previously
° ESG Component to be determined by meeting or exceeding the same key environmental and safety metrics as 2020: flaring intensity, GHG intensity, recycled water percentage, fluid spill control and Total Recordable Incident Rate (safety)
° Each metric will be measured and compensation will be tied to the metrics presented
° Thresholds will all meet or exceed 2020 actual performance
"With these major announcements today, Diamondback has chosen to adopt a strategy to operate with the highest level of environmental responsibility. We have been encouraged by our stockholders to embrace and lead this transition, irrespective of regulatory, political or social pressures. Gas operators have traditionally operated with a low carbon footprint, and we believe it is time for oil-focused operators to follow the example they have set, albeit with different emissions limitations inherent in oil production. Our social and environmental license to operate as a public oil and gas company based in the United States is going to be influenced by our capital providers, and we do not expect investor pressure for oil and gas companies to improve their environmental performance to subside. It is incumbent on us to improve our environmental performance and compete for capital in an industry with ever-increasing external pressures. Carbon emissions are a cost, and Diamondback is working to become the low-carbon operator in addition to our leadership position as the operator with the lowest capital and operating costs," stated Travis Stice, Chief Executive Officer of Diamondback.
Mr. Stice continued, "The energy transition is here and oil and gas are commodities that will play a vital role in fueling this transition and global growth for decades, regardless of public policy or perception. But, our industry must acknowledge this reality, and change behaviors in order to succeed in this new energy economy. With these announcements today, Diamondback is choosing to implement this new strategy because we think it is the right thing to do for the long-term benefit of our stockholders' investment."
GOVERNANCE AND COMPENSATION UPDATE
Additionally, Diamondback today announced changes to its compensation program. The Company plans to provide additional detail for these and other changes in its upcoming proxy, which it expects to file in the second quarter of 2021.
- Chief Executive Officer's Long Term Incentive ("LTI") compensation target amount reduced by
20% from 2020 - Remainder of executive team 2021 LTI compensation target amount reduced by
10% from 2020 - No upward salary adjustments or change to STI targets for all members of the executive team
- 2020 STI scorecard performance to be capped at
100% of target for all executives despite actual scorecard performance of approximately160% of target - Plan to update annual STI scorecard metrics to include a Free Cash Flow per share metric with expected weighting of
20% and increase weighting of current ESG metric to20% as previously mentioned
° 2021 scorecard metrics expected to include: Capital costs per lateral foot, PDP F&D costs, controllable cash costs including LOE and G&A, Return on Average Capital Employed, Free Cash Flow per Share and quantitative ESG metrics - Both the S&P 500 and the XOP Index have been added as peers to the 2021 peer group
"Diamondback continues to respond to investor feedback and make appropriate changes to compensation and governance practices to reflect incentives that translate to stockholder value creation. The Company has not had a production or reserves growth metric in its scorecard since 2014, added a return on average capital employed metric in 2018, and added specific, measurable ESG metrics in 2020. This year, the Company is adding a Free Cash Flow per share metric to the scorecard. Financial metrics are now expected to make up

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus non-cash (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net, interest expense, net, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, depreciation and interest expense related to equity method investments, impairment and abandonments related to equity method investments, (gain) loss on revaluation of investment, loss on extinguishment of debt, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, non-cash equity-based compensation expense, capitalized equity-based compensation expense, other non-cash transactions and provision for (benefit from) income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income as determined by United States’ generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because the measure allows it to more effectively evaluate the Company’s operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. The Company adds the items listed above to net (loss) income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within its industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets. The Company’s computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies or to such measure in our credit facility or any of our other contracts.

(1) Calculated using diluted shares (non-GAAP)
Operating cash flow before working capital changes, which is a non-GAAP financial measure representing net cash provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP without regard to changes in operating assets and liabilities. The Company believes operating cash flow before working capital changes is an accepted measure of an oil and natural gas company’s ability to generate cash used to fund exploration, development and acquisition activities and service debt or pay dividends. The Company also uses this measure because adjusted operating cash flow relates to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements that the Company may not control and may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred. This allows the Company to compare its operating performance with that of other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure.
Additionally, the Company provides Free Cash Flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Free Cash Flow is cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital in excess of cash capital expenditures. The Company believes that Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as it provides a measure to compare both cash flow from operating activities and additions to oil and natural gas properties across periods on a consistent basis. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities as an indicator of operating performance. The Company's computation of operating cash flow before working capital changes and Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

RECONCILIATION OF TOTAL DEBT TO NET DEBT
The Company defines net debt as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, total debt, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Management uses net debt to determine the Company's outstanding debt obligations that would not be readily satisfied by its cash and cash equivalents on hand. The Company believes this metric is useful to analysts and investors in determining the Company's leverage position because the Company has the ability to, and may decide to, use a portion of its cash and cash equivalents to reduce debt.
