PROPOSED MERGER WITH SITIO ROYALTIES

As previously announced, on September 6, 2022, Brigham and Sitio Royalties Corp. (“Sitio”) entered into a definitive merger agreement, pursuant to which Sitio will acquire Brigham in an all-stock transaction. Following the approval by the Brigham stockholders and the satisfaction of certain other closing conditions, the merger is expected to close during the first quarter of 2023.

In light of the pending merger with Sitio, Brigham has discontinued providing guidance and long-term outlook information regarding its results of operations and does not intend to update the previously issued guidance and long-term outlook information, including the guidance provided in the Company’s August 4, 2022 press release announcing its second quarter 2022 financial and operational results (“the second quarter earnings release”). Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to rely on historical forward-looking statements regarding guidance and long-term outlook information, including any such information provided in the second quarter earnings release, as those forward-looking statements were the estimates of management only as of the date provided, have not and will not be updated and were subject to the specific risks and uncertainties that accompanied such forward-looking statements. As a result of the pending merger, there will not be an investor conference call.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Midland Acquisition

As previously announced, on August 22, 2022, Brigham LLC entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Avant Royalties, LP, Avant Royalties II, LP and Avant Royalties II Sidecar Fund, LP (collectively, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which Brigham LLC agreed to acquire certain mineral and royalty interests from the Sellers (the “Midland Acquisition”) for $132.5 million in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments. The Midland Acquisition was completed on October 21, 2022 and has an effective date of July 1, 2022. The Company financed the Midland Acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE

Mineral and Royalty Interest Ownership Update

During the third quarter 2022, the Company executed twelve transactions acquiring approximately 365 net royalty acres (standardized to a 1/8th royalty interest) and deployed $12.2 million in capital. The Company deployed substantially all of its mineral acquisition capital in the third quarter to the Permian Basin. Third quarter acquisitions are expected to deliver near-term production and cash flow growth with the addition of 26 gross DUCs (0.1 net) and 45 gross permits (0.2 net) to inventory counts.

FINANCIAL UPDATE

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, crude oil, natural gas and NGL production volumes increased 15% to 15,000 Boe/d as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 and increased 65% as compared to the same prior-year period. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we collected revenues attributable to first payments received on production from numerous new wells turned-in-line at high initial flow rates on high-interest acreage in the Delaware and Midland basins. We typically receive first payment from an operator several months or longer after initial production, which typically covers multiple months of production, and as such, high-interest wells or wells with robust initial production rates can have a significant impact on revenues for the period in which first payments are collected.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, average realized prices were $97.20 per barrel of oil, $7.09 per Mcf of natural gas, and $30.70 per barrel of NGL, for a total equivalent price of $67.21 per Boe. This represents a 12% decrease relative to the three months ended June 30, 2022 and a 39% increase relative to the same prior-year period.

The Company's net income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $44.4 million, inclusive of $7.8 million of merger related costs. Adjusted Net Income for three months ended September 30, 2022 was $52.2 million, excluding $7.8 million of merger related costs, up 4% from the three months ended June 30, 2022 and up 176% relative to the same prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA was $82.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, up 3% from the three months ended June 30, 2022 and up 135% relative to the same prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus was $80.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, up 2% from the three months ended June 30, 2022 and up 141% from the same prior-year period. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus are Non-GAAP financial measures. For a definition of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus and a reconciliation to our most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, please read "Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had a cash balance of $33.0 million and $217.0 million of undrawn revolver capacity under its credit facility, providing the Company with total liquidity of $250.0 million.

Quarterly Cash Dividend

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has declared a quarterly cash dividend incorporating results for the third quarter 2022 of $0.81 per share of Class A common stock at a 75% payout ratio. This represents a 5% increase compared to the dividend declared for the second quarter of 2022. The third quarter dividend represents a base dividend of $0.16 per share and a variable dividend of $0.65 per share and will be paid on November 25, 2022 to holders of record as of November 18, 2022. An amount equal to the cash dividend per share will also be set aside for each outstanding award granted under the long-term incentive plan for payment upon the vesting of such awards in accordance with their terms.

Future declarations of dividends are subject to approval by the Board and to the Board’s continuing determination that the declarations of dividends are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Future dividends may be adjusted at the Board’s discretion based on market conditions and capital availability.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Discretionary Cash Flow, Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus, and Net Debt are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures used by our management and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, research analysts and others to assess the financial performance of our assets and their ability to sustain dividends over the long term without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis.

We define Adjusted Net Income as net income excluding the impacts of merger related costs. We define Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted Net Income before depreciation, depletion and amortization, share-based compensation expense, interest expense, and income tax expense, less other income. We define Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus as Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to eliminate the impacts of lease bonus and other revenues we receive due to the unpredictability of timing of the revenue. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. We define Discretionary Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash interest expense and cash taxes. We define Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus as Discretionary Cash Flow further adjusted to eliminate the impacts of lease bonus and other revenues. We define Net Debt as total debt less cash and cash equivalents.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Discretionary Cash Flow, Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus, and Net Debt do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of our financial performance. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Discretionary Cash Flow and Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Net Debt should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, total debt, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Our computation of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Discretionary Cash Flow, Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus, and Net Debt may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Discretionary Cash Flow, Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus, and Net Debt to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for the periods indicated.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this press release specifically include statements pertaining to our pending merger with Sitio and the expectations of plans, strategies, objectives and anticipated financial and operating results of the Company, including production and other guidance within this press release. These statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Company based on management’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. These include, but are not limited to, operator capital discipline and inflation impacts on their cash flows, the Company’s ability to integrate acquisitions into its existing business, changes in oil, natural gas and NGL prices, weather and environmental conditions, the timing of planned capital expenditures, availability of and competition for acquisitions, operational factors affecting the commencement or maintenance of producing wells on the Company’s properties, the condition of the capital markets generally, as well as the Company’s ability to access them, economic and competitive conditions, including those resulting from the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine and elevated inflation levels resulting from global supply and demand imbalances, the proximity to and capacity of transportation, uncertainties regarding environmental regulations or litigation, global or national health events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, potential future pandemics, the actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other significant producers and governments and the ability of such producers to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls and other legal or regulatory developments affecting the Company’s business and other important factors.
