Insights
Permian Resources' Q4 and full-year 2024 results demonstrate exceptional operational execution and financial discipline, positioning the company as one of the premier operators in the Permian Basin. The company's 63% year-over-year oil production growth and 77% total production growth significantly outpace most peers, reflecting both organic development success and effective integration of acquisitions.
The company's focus on cost leadership has yielded impressive results, with drilling and completion costs reduced to ~$775 per lateral foot in Q4 2024, representing a 14% year-over-year reduction and placing PR among the lowest-cost operators in the basin. This cost efficiency, combined with strong production growth, generated $3.4 billion in operating cash flow and $1.4 billion in adjusted free cash flow for the full year – a rare combination in the E&P sector where growth and free cash flow generation often come at the expense of each other.
Particularly noteworthy is PR's ability to replace over 100% of drilled inventory through accretive M&A for the second consecutive year, addressing a key investor concern about inventory depth and sustainability in the maturing Permian Basin. The company's continued success with its "ground game" strategy, adding ~2,100 net acres at ~$3,900 per acre, demonstrates its ability to identify and execute on high-return, small-scale opportunities that many larger competitors overlook.
The 2025 guidance reveals impressive capital efficiency improvements, with projected 8% production growth on a flat capital budget. This efficiency is driven by longer lateral lengths (increasing to 10,000 feet on average, up 700 feet from 2024) and further cost reductions (projected 8% decrease in D&C costs per foot). The midpoint of projected controllable cash costs ($7.75/Boe) represents continued leadership as a low-cost producer.
PR maintains a fortress balance sheet with leverage at 0.95x, significantly below the industry average and providing substantial financial flexibility for opportunistic acquisitions or enhanced shareholder returns. The company's 4.3% dividend yield ranks among the highest in the E&P sector, while still maintaining conservative payout ratios.
The strategic $180 million divestiture of non-core gathering systems demonstrates disciplined portfolio management and value crystallization. Meanwhile, the increase in proved reserves to 1,027 MMBoe (from 925 MMBoe) indicates resource expansion despite aggressive development, supporting long-term production sustainability.
As the industry increasingly focuses on capital discipline and shareholder returns, PR's combination of growth, cost leadership, free cash flow generation, and shareholder returns positions it as one of the most attractive investment opportunities in the E&P sector.
Permian Resources' Q4 and full-year 2024 results reveal a company that has successfully executed a differentiated strategy in the Permian Basin, combining production growth, cost leadership, and shareholder returns – a rare trifecta in today's E&P landscape where most peers have pivoted exclusively to maintenance production and capital returns.
The company's operational achievements are particularly impressive when viewed against the backdrop of persistent industry-wide inflation. While many operators have struggled with rising costs, PR has reduced D&C costs to ~$775 per lateral foot, representing a 14% year-over-year reduction. This cost leadership extends beyond drilling, with total controllable cash costs of $7.84 per Boe positioning PR among the lowest-cost operators in the Permian Basin.
PR's 2025 guidance demonstrates continued evolution of their capital efficiency, projecting 8% production growth on a flat capital budget. This efficiency gain is being driven by two key factors: increased lateral lengths (averaging 10,000 feet, up 700 feet from 2024) and further cost structure improvements (projected 8% reduction in D&C costs per foot). Such capital efficiency improvements are increasingly rare in a maturing basin where the industry trend is toward higher costs for similar or declining productivity.
The company's strategic focus on New Mexico (representing 65% of planned 2025 activity) is significant, as this region typically delivers superior economics compared to Texas Delaware and Midland Basin positions. Combined with the company's exceptionally high net revenue interest of 79%, which is well above industry averages, this strategic allocation enhances economic returns on invested capital.
Perhaps most critical for long-term sustainability is PR's success in replacing over 100% of drilled inventory through accretive M&A for the second consecutive year. This achievement addresses a fundamental concern for Permian operators – inventory depth and quality. As tier-one inventory becomes increasingly scarce and expensive in the Permian, PR's demonstrated ability to replenish inventory at reasonable costs (~$3,900 per acre for recent grassroots acquisitions) provides a sustainable growth runway that many peers lack.
The increase in proved reserves to 1,027 MMBoe (up from 925 MMBoe) further validates the company's resource expansion despite aggressive development. With 73% of reserves in the proved developed category, PR maintains a balanced portfolio that delivers current cash flow while preserving future development opportunities.
PR's financial management complements its operational excellence, with leverage at 0.95x providing significant flexibility in a volatile commodity environment. The recent $180 million divestiture of non-core gathering assets and partial redemption of 9.875% Senior Notes demonstrate a disciplined approach to portfolio and balance sheet optimization.
In an industry increasingly focused on consolidation and capital discipline, PR has positioned itself as both a consolidator and an operational leader, establishing a sustainable business model that delivers growth while rewarding shareholders through a sector-leading 4.3% dividend yield.

Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any oil and gas reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data, and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.
Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this press release occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.
Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with
Adjusted EBITDAX
Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income attributable to Class A Common Stock before net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairment and abandonment expense, non-cash gains or losses on derivatives, stock-based compensation, exploration and other expenses, merger and integration expense, gain/loss from the sale of long-lived assets and non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by GAAP.
Our management believes Adjusted EBITDAX is useful as it allows them to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period and against our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX 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 EBITDAX 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 our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX 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, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDAX. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDAX should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAX to net income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:

Net Debt-to-LQA EBITDAX
Net debt-to-LQA EBITDAX is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define net debt as long-term debt, net, plus unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs on our senior notes minus cash and cash equivalents.
We define net debt-to-LQA EBITDAX as net debt (defined above) divided by Adjusted EBITDAX (defined and reconciled in the section above) for the three months ended December 31, 2024, on an annualized basis. We refer to this metric to show trends that investors may find useful in understanding our ability to service our debt. This metric is widely used by professional research analysts, including credit analysts, in the valuation and comparison of companies in the oil and gas exploration and production industry. The following table presents a reconciliation of net debt to long-term debt, net and the calculation of net debt-to-LQA EBITDAX for the period presented:

Adjusted Shares
Adjusted basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding (“Adjusted Basic and Diluted Shares”) are non-GAAP financial measures defined as basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding adjusted to reflect the weighted average shares of our Class C Common Stock outstanding during the period.
Our Adjusted Basic and Diluted Shares provide a comparable per share measurement when presenting results such as adjusted free cash flow and adjusted net income that include the interests of both net income attributable to Class A Common Stock and the net income attributable to our noncontrolling interest. Adjusted Basic and Diluted Shares are used in calculating several metrics that we use as supplemental financial measurements in the evaluation of our business.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted Basic and Diluted Shares to basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding, which are the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:

Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define adjusted operating cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted to remove changes in working capital, merger and integration and other non-recurring charges, and estimated tax distributions to our non-controlling interest owners. Adjusted operating cash flows is reduced by total cash capital expenditures to arrive at adjusted free cash flows.
Our management believes adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are useful indicators of the Company’s ability to internally fund its future exploration and development activities, to service its existing level of indebtedness or incur additional debt, without regard to the timing of settlement of either operating assets and liabilities, its merger and integration and other non-recurring costs or estimated tax distributions to noncontrolling interest owners after funding its capital expenditures paid for the period. The Company believes that these measures, as so adjusted, present meaningful indicators of the Company’s actual sources and uses of capital associated with its operations conducted during the applicable period. Our computation of adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as indicators of our operating performance or liquidity.
Adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are not financial measures that are determined in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, the following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:

Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted net income is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define adjusted net income as net income attributable to Class A Common Stock plus net income attributable to noncontrolling interest adjusted for non-cash gains or losses on derivatives, merger and integration expense, other nonrecurring charges, impairment and abandonment expense, gain/loss from the sale of long-lived assets and the related income tax adjustments for these items. Adjusted net income is not a measure of net income as determined by GAAP.
Our management believes adjusted net income is useful as it allows them to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period and against our peers by excluding certain non-cash items that can vary significantly. Adjusted net income 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 our operating performance or liquidity. Our presentation of adjusted net income should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Our computations of adjusted net income may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted net income is not a financial measure that is determined in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, the following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:
