Explanatory Note

On July 13, 2023, Denbury Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Exxon Mobil Corporation, a New Jersey corporation (“ExxonMobil”), and EMPF Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil (“Merger Sub”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, on November 2, 2023 (the closing date of the Merger, as defined below), Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil (the “Surviving Corporation”). The Company remains an ExxonMobil wholly-owned subsidiary as of the date of this filing.

Although the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on November 2, 2023 filed a Form 25-NSE with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to remove the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company from listing on the NYSE, this Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023 is being filed because the delisting of the Company’s common stock and related suspension of reporting obligations under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), did not occur until November 12, 2023 (10 days after the NYSE’s filing of Form 25-NSE), which date occurred after the due date for filing of this Form 10-Q. Promptly following the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company expects to file a Form 15 to suspend its remaining reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. Unless otherwise specified herein, all information in this report is provided as of September 30, 2023.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Organization and Nature of Operations

Denbury Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) is an independent energy company with operations focused in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. The Company is differentiated by its focus on CO2 enhanced oil recovery (“EOR”) and the emerging carbon capture, utilization, and storage (“CCUS”) industry, supported by the Company’s CO2 EOR technical and operational expertise and its extensive CO2 pipeline infrastructure.

On July 13, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Exxon Mobil Corporation, a New Jersey corporation (“ExxonMobil”), and EMPF Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil (“Merger Sub”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, on November 2, 2023, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil (the “Surviving Corporation”).

On November 2, 2023 (the “Effective Time”), each share of Company common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Denbury Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including the unvested restricted stock of the Company, but excluding shares of Denbury Common Stock held (1) in treasury (excluding Denbury Common Stock subject to or issuable in connection with a Company employee benefit plan) or (2) by ExxonMobil or Merger Sub, which were cancelled at the Effective Time) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.840 shares of ExxonMobil common stock, without par value (“ExxonMobil Common Stock”) (together with cash in lieu of fractional shares, the “Merger Consideration”), without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes, in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

Additionally, each Company restricted stock unit (each, a “Denbury RSU”), each Company deferred stock unit (each, a “Denbury DSU”) and each Company performance stock unit whose vesting was subject to performance goals related to absolute or relative total shareholder return (each, a “Denbury TSR Performance Award”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, automatically became fully vested and was canceled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the Merger Agreement in respect of the total number of shares of Denbury Common Stock subject to each respective Denbury RSU, Denbury DSU and Denbury TSR Performance Award (in the case of the Denbury TSR Performance Awards, with such number determined based on actual performance levels, calculated in accordance with the underlying award agreements), without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes.

The issuance of ExxonMobil Common Stock in connection with the Merger was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to ExxonMobil’s registration statement on Form S-4, as amended (File No. 333-274252), which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 29, 2023.

The foregoing description of the Merger, the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, is a summary only, does not purport to be complete, and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to the Company’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the SEC on September 29, 2023.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Denbury Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”). Unless indicated otherwise or the context requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company” or “Denbury,” refer to Denbury Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Denbury Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2023, our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, our consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and our consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on our reported net income (loss), current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total liabilities or stockholders’ equity.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

We consider all highly liquid investments to be cash equivalents if they have maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as reported within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to “Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period” as reported within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:


In thousands	September 30, 2023		September 30, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents	$	803	$	519

Restricted cash for future asset retirement obligations	49,027		47,633
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows	$	49,830	$	48,152

Restricted cash for future asset retirement obligations in the table above consists of escrow accounts that are legally restricted for certain of our asset retirement obligations.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Basic weighted average common shares exclude shares of nonvested restricted stock (although nonvested restricted stock is issued and outstanding upon grant). As these restricted shares vest, they will be included in the shares outstanding used to calculate basic net income (loss) per common share. Restricted stock units and performance stock units are also excluded from basic weighted average common shares outstanding until the vesting date. Basic weighted average common shares during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes 1,775,182 performance-based and restricted stock units which are fully vested as of September 30, 2023; however, the shares underlying these awards are not included in shares currently issued or outstanding as actual delivery of the shares had not occurred as of September 30, 2023.

Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated in the same manner but includes the impact of all potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities include restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units, shares to be issued under the employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”), and warrants.

For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no adjustments to net income (loss) for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the weighted average common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share were the same, since the Company recorded a net loss during the period. The following table sets forth the weighted average shares used for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for the periods indicated:

For purposes of calculating diluted weighted average common shares, unvested restricted stock units, unvested restricted stock, unvested performance stock units, unissued ESPP shares and unexercised warrants are included in the diluted shares computation using the treasury stock method.

The following outstanding securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, as their effect would have been antidilutive, as of the respective dates:

(1) Antidilutive shares for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 reflect total shares excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share that are potentially dilutive in the future, assuming performance stock units at the target level. Shares disclosed for the period ended September 30, 2022 have been revised to be consistent with the current year presentation.

At September 30, 2023, the Company had 1.0 million Series A warrants outstanding exercisable for shares of our common stock, on a cash or cashless basis, at an exercise price of $32.59 per share for each of the Series A warrants outstanding. Outstanding Series B warrants expired on September 18, 2023, in accordance with the Series B warrant agreement. From issuance through September 30, 2023, a total of 1.6 million Series A warrants and a total of 2.7 million Series B warrants have been exercised for a total of 2.7 million shares, most of which were exercised on a cashless basis. During October 2023, 1.0 million Series A warrants were exercised resulting in the issuance of 0.8 million shares, and any remaining unexercised Series A warrants expired prior to the effective time of the Merger.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties

Write-Down of Oil and Natural Gas Properties. Under full cost accounting, the net capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties are limited to the lower of unamortized cost or the cost center ceiling. The cost center ceiling is defined as (1) the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves before future abandonment costs (discounted at 10%), based on the average first-day-of-the-month oil and natural gas price for each month during a 12-month rolling period prior to the end of a particular reporting period; plus (2) the cost of properties not being amortized; plus (3) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, if any; less (4) related income tax effects. Our future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves are not reduced for development costs related to the cost of drilling for and developing CO2 reserves nor those related to the cost of constructing CO2 pipelines, as we

Table of Contents

Denbury Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

do not have to incur additional CO2 capital costs to develop the proved oil and natural gas reserves. Therefore, we include in the ceiling test, as a reduction of future net revenues, that portion of our capitalized CO2 costs related to CO2 reserves and CO2 pipelines that we estimate will be consumed in the process of producing our proved oil and natural gas reserves. The fair value of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts is not included in the ceiling test, as we do not designate these contracts as hedge instruments for accounting purposes. The cost center ceiling test is prepared quarterly.

We did not record a ceiling test write-down during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2023 or September 30, 2022.

Equity Method Investments

In accordance with equity method accounting, we record our initial equity investments at cost and periodically adjust the value of the investment balance to recognize (1) the proportionate share of the investee’s net income or losses after the date of investment, (2) additional contributions made and dividends or distributions received, and (3) impairment losses resulting from adjustments to net realizable value. The investments are included in “Other assets” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023. We evaluate our equity method investments for other-than-temporary impairment on a periodic basis.

Note 2. Revenue Recognition

We record revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification (“FASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of FASC Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount of consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. Once we have delivered the volume of commodity to the delivery point and the customer takes delivery and possession, we are entitled to payment and we invoice the customer for such delivered production. Payment under most oil and CO2 contracts is received within one month following product delivery, and for natural gas and NGL contracts, payment is generally received within two months following delivery. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers; however, as the right to consideration after delivery is unconditional based on only the passage of time before payment of the consideration is due, upon delivery we record a receivable in “Accrued production receivable” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In certain situations, the Company enters into marketing arrangements for the purchase and subsequent sale of crude oil from third parties. We recognize the revenue received and the associated expense incurred on these sales on a gross basis, as “Oil marketing revenues” and “Oil marketing purchases” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, since we act as a principal in the transaction by assuming control of the commodities purchased and responsibility to deliver the commodities sold. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the purchaser at the delivery point based on the price received from the purchaser.

Senior Secured Bank Credit Agreement

In September 2020, we entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders party thereto (as amended, the “Bank Credit Agreement”). The Bank Credit Agreement is a senior secured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of May 4, 2027. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2023 under the Bank Credit Agreement was 8.2%. The undrawn portion of the aggregate lender commitments under the Bank Credit Agreement is subject to a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum. Cash interest, including commitment fees paid on the Company’s bank credit facility but excluding debt issue costs, were $2.8 million and $7.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $1.4 million and $3.8 million during the corresponding prior-year periods. As of September 30, 2023, we had $10.4 million of outstanding letters of credit. As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all debt covenants under the Bank Credit Agreement. On October 27, 2023, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Bank Credit Agreement, which allowed us to borrow an amount exceeding the existing $75 million “excess cash” limitation for purposes of liquidity ahead of the closing of the Merger.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, on November 2, 2023, the Company terminated all outstanding lender commitments, including commitments of the lenders to issue letters of credit, under the Bank Credit Agreement. In connection with the termination of the Bank Credit Agreement, on November 2, 2023, all outstanding obligations for principal, interest and fees under the Bank Credit Agreement were paid off in full, and all liens securing such obligations and any letters of credit or hedging obligations permitted by the Bank Credit Agreement to be secured by such liens and guarantees of such obligations were released.

Clean Hydrogen Works. In April 2023, based on the achievement of certain milestones, we invested the remaining $10 million of our total $20 million commitment to invest in Clean Hydrogen Works (“CHW”), the project development company of a planned blue hydrogen/ammonia multi-block facility for which we have signed a definitive agreement for the transportation and storage of CO2 for the first two blocks of the proposed plant. We account for the investment in CHW under the equity method of accounting.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

When an entity makes an investment that qualifies for the equity method of accounting, there may be a difference in the cost basis of the investment and the proportional interest in the underlying equity in the net assets of the investee (“basis difference”). At the acquisition date, the Company identified a basis difference of $17.7 million associated with its investment in CHW. The basis difference was allocated to finite lived intangible assets identified and equity method goodwill. The Company will amortize the basis differences attributable to finite lived intangible assets and record the amortization as a reduction of earnings from equity method investments, net in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Libra CO2 Storage Solutions LLC. During the second quarter of 2023, we invested $1.5 million in Libra CO2 Storage Solutions LLC in connection with a joint venture related to a CO2 sequestration project in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana.

Other Investments

During the first quarter of 2023, we made two investments in carbon capture technology companies, including a $2 million investment in Aqualung Carbon Capture AS and a $5 million investment in ION Clean Energy, Inc.

All investments are included in “Other assets” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023.

Note 5. Stockholders’ Equity

2022 Share Repurchases

In May 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a common share repurchase program for up to $250 million of outstanding Denbury common stock. During June and July 2022, the Company repurchased 1,615,356 shares of Denbury common stock under this program for approximately $100 million, at an average price of $61.92 per share. No share repurchases have been made under this program since that time.

Retirement of Treasury Stock

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we retired 1.6 million shares of existing treasury stock, with a carrying value of $100 million, acquired through our stock repurchase program. Upon the retirement of treasury stock, we reduce common stock by the par value of common stock retired, and we reduce additional paid-in capital by the value of those shares in excess of par value.

Tax Withholding and Treasury Stock Retirement in Connection with Stock Compensation Plans

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, employees surrendered 16,281 shares of common stock, with a carrying value of approximately $1.4 million, to cover employee tax withholdings upon vesting of restricted stock awards, which shares were concurrently retired. As awards for restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are settled, the Company issues the net shares of common stock, reduced by the units surrendered to cover tax withholding. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we decreased additional paid in capital by $1.3 million for tax withholdings on RSUs.

Note 6. Income Taxes

We make estimates and judgments in determining our income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities that arise from differences in the timing and recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial reporting purposes. Significant judgment is required in estimating valuation allowances, and in making this determination we consider all available positive and negative evidence and make certain assumptions. The realization of a deferred tax asset ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income in the applicable carryback or carryforward periods. In our assessment, we consider the nature, frequency, and severity of current and cumulative losses, as well as historical and forecasted financial results, the overall business environment, our industry’s historic cyclicality, the reversal of existing deferred tax assets and liabilities, and tax planning strategies.

Table of Contents

Denbury Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

We assess the valuation allowance recorded on our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, which was $59.2 million at December 31, 2022. This valuation allowance relates primarily to our Louisiana net deferred tax assets of $55.4 million, as well as our Alabama net deferred tax assets and certain Mississippi tax credits totaling $3.8 million. We have concluded that the benefits of such deferred tax assets were not more likely than not to be realized due to lack of sufficient taxable income to fully realize the benefits of such deferred tax assets.

We evaluate our estimated annual effective income tax rate based on current and forecasted business results and enacted tax laws on a quarterly basis and apply this tax rate to our ordinary income or loss to calculate our estimated tax liability or benefit. Our income taxes are based on an estimated combined federal and state statutory rate of approximately 25% in 2023 and 2022. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was slightly higher than our estimated statutory rate primarily due to the effects of a small pretax loss; our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was slightly lower than our estimated statutory rate primarily due to excess stock compensation deductions that were recorded discretely in the first quarter. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was significantly lower than our estimated statutory rate due to the release of a portion of the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.

Note 7. Commodity Derivative Contracts

We do not apply hedge accounting treatment to our oil and natural gas derivative contracts; therefore, the changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized in income in the period of change. These fair value changes, along with the settlements of expired contracts, are shown under “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Historically, we have entered into various oil and natural gas derivative contracts to provide an economic hedge of our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil and natural gas production and to provide more certainty to our future cash flows. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Over the last few years these contracts have consisted of fixed-price swaps and costless collars. The production we hedge has varied from year to year depending on our levels of debt, financial strength and expectation of future commodity prices, and occasionally requirements under our bank credit facility. We currently have no hedging requirements under our bank credit facility.

We manage and control market and counterparty credit risk through established internal control procedures that are reviewed on an ongoing basis. We attempt to minimize credit risk exposure to counterparties through formal credit policies, monitoring procedures and diversification, and all of our commodity derivative contracts are with parties that are lenders under our Bank Credit Agreement (or affiliates of such lenders). As of September 30, 2023, all of our outstanding derivative contracts were subject to enforceable master netting arrangements whereby payables on those contracts can be offset against receivables from separate derivative contracts with the same counterparty. It is our policy to classify derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis on our balance sheets, even if the contracts are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements.

On October 24, 2023, the Company and the counterparties to all of our outstanding derivative contracts mutually agreed to terminate the contracts, resulting in a cash payment by the Company to the counterparties aggregating $26.9 million.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

The FASC Fair Value Measurement topic defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (often referred to as the “exit price”). We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. We primarily apply the income approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavor to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We are able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The FASC establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

•Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded oil derivatives that are based on NYMEX. Our costless collars are valued using the Black-Scholes model, an industry standard option valuation model that takes into account inputs such as contractual prices for the underlying instruments, maturity, quoted forward prices for commodities, interest rates, volatility factors and credit worthiness, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

•Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

We adjust the valuations from the valuation model for nonperformance risk, using our estimate of the counterparty’s credit quality for asset positions and our credit quality for liability positions. We use multiple sources of third-party credit data in determining counterparty nonperformance risk, including credit default swaps.

Since we do not apply hedge accounting for our commodity derivative contracts, any gains and losses on our assets and liabilities are included in “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of our loans under our Bank Credit Agreement approximate fair value, as they are subject to short-term floating interest rates that approximate the rates available to us for those periods. The estimated fair value of the principal amount of our debt as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, excluding financing lease obligations, was $70.0 million and $29.0 million, respectively. We have other financial instruments consisting primarily of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Treasury notes, short-term receivables and payables that approximate fair value due to the nature of the instrument and the relatively short maturities.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Regulatory Proceedings

We are involved in various lawsuits, claims and regulatory proceedings incidental to our businesses. We are also subject to audits for various taxes (income, sales and use, and severance) in the various states in which we operate, and from time to time receive assessments for potential taxes that we may owe. We accrue for losses from litigation and claims if we determine that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

On May 26, 2022, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (“PHMSA”) of the U.S. Department of Transportation issued a Notice of Probable Violation, Proposed Civil Penalty, and Proposed Compliance Order (“NOPV”) relating to the February 2020 CO2 release from a pipeline failure near Satartia, Mississippi in our CO2 pipeline running between the Tinsley and Delhi fields, and assessed a preliminary civil penalty of $3.9 million, which the Company recorded in its financial statements in the second quarter of 2022. On March 24, 2023, Denbury and PHMSA entered into a final Consent Order and Consent Agreement that settled all of the allegations in the NOPV and also reduced the assessed penalty to $2.9 million. The $1.0 million reduction was reflected in “Other expenses” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the first quarter of 2023.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included herein and our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”), along with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Form 10-K. Any terms used but not defined herein have the same meaning given to them in the Form 10-K.

Our discussion and analysis includes forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties and should be read in conjunction with Risk Factors under Item 1A of the Form 10-K and disclosures in all subsequent filings made thereafter under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On November 2, 2023 (the “Effective Time”), each share of Company common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Denbury Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including the unvested restricted stock of the Company, but excluding shares of Denbury Common Stock held (1) in treasury (excluding Denbury Common Stock subject to or issuable in connection with a Company employee benefit plan) or (2) by ExxonMobil or Merger Sub, which were cancelled at the Effective Time) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.840 shares of ExxonMobil common stock, without par value (“ExxonMobil Common Stock”) (together with cash in lieu of fractional shares, the “Merger Consideration”), without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes, in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

OVERVIEW

Denbury is an independent energy company with operations focused in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions. The Company is differentiated by its focus on CO2 enhanced oil recovery (“EOR”) and the emerging carbon capture, utilization, and storage (“CCUS”) industry, supported by the Company’s CO2 EOR technical and operational expertise and its extensive CO2 pipeline infrastructure.

Oil Price Impact on Our Business. Our financial results are significantly impacted by changes in oil prices, as 97% of our sales volumes are oil. Changes in oil prices impact all aspects of our business; most notably our cash flows from operations, revenues, capital allocation and budgeting decisions, and oil and natural gas reserves volumes. Oil prices have historically been volatile and can fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for many different reasons, such as global supply, demand, and geopolitical events, such as the Hamas/Israel war. Average NYMEX WTI oil prices were approximately $82 per Bbl during the third quarter of 2023, an increase from $74 per Bbl in the second quarter of 2023 and a decrease from $91 per Bbl in the third quarter of 2022.

As shown in the table above, our oil and natural gas revenues have decreased since 2022 primarily due to the decrease in oil prices. During 2022, the benefit of high oil prices was offset in part by the impact of higher cash payments on our commodity derivative contracts.

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Highlights. We recognized a net loss of $2.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted common share, during the third quarter of 2023, compared to net income of $250.4 million, or $4.66 per diluted common share, during the third quarter of 2022. Drivers of the comparative operating results between the third quarters of 2023 and 2022 include the following:

•Oil and natural gas revenues decreased $69.4 million (18%) during the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to lower oil prices and sales volumes; and

•Commodity derivatives expense increased $194.5 million ($85.3 million of expense during the third quarter of 2023 compared to $109.2 million of income during the third quarter of 2022) due to the changes in oil prices relative to the strike prices of our derivatives.

June 2023 West Yellow Creek Divestiture. On June 30, 2023, we closed on a transaction exchanging our 49% non-operated interest in West Yellow Creek Field for a term overriding royalty interest in the field (7% for the first 8 years and 3.4% for the next 5 years). Our existing CO2 sales contract to supply CO2 to the field was also amended as part of the transaction, so that we will continue to supply CO2 to the West Yellow Creek Field for a fee. As a result of this transaction, our production during the third quarter of 2023 decreased by approximately 375 Bbls/d with a corresponding reduction in revenues, and we are no longer obligated for lease operating expenses or capital expenditures for this field.

Cedar Creek Anticline CO2 EOR Development. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred $126.1 million of our oil & gas development capital expenditures on the CCA EOR project, primarily focused on the construction of four planned CO2 recycle facilities, well conversions, and drilling the Interlake Pennel CO2 pilot. Commissioning of the initial CO2 recycle facility within the Cedar Hills South Field was completed late in the first quarter of 2023, and commissioning of

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

the second facility was completed during the second quarter of 2023. Initial EOR production commenced during the second quarter of 2023, averaging 953 Bbls/d for the third quarter.

Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we invested $74.4 million of development capital into CCUS assets, primarily for the acquisition of new sequestration sites (including the third quarter acquisition of the right to develop a 34,000 acre dedicated CO2 sequestration site in Avoyelles and St. Landry Parishes, Louisiana), the drilling of a stratigraphic test well in our Alabama sequestration site, and the acquisition of seismic data. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we made several investments in CCUS companies totaling $18.5 million. These investments are included in “Other assets” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Overview. Our cash flows from operations and availability under our senior secured bank credit facility are our primary sources of capital and liquidity. Our most significant cash capital outlays relate to our oil and gas development capital expenditures and CCUS initiatives. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we generated $375.4 million in cash flow from operations. We invested cash of $428.6 million, primarily in oil and gas and CCUS activities, including equity investments during the first nine months of 2023, and financing activities supplemented our cash flow by $55.1 million, primarily from borrowings under our bank credit facility. As of September 30, 2023, we had $70.0 million of outstanding borrowings, down from $85.0 million at June 30, 2023, and $10.4 million of outstanding letters of credit under our senior secured bank credit facility.

Senior Secured Bank Credit Agreement. In September 2020, we entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders party thereto (as amended, the “Bank Credit Agreement”). The Bank Credit Agreement is a senior secured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of May 4, 2027. As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all debt covenants under the Bank Credit Agreement. On October 27, 2023, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Bank Credit Agreement, which allowed us to borrow an amount exceeding the existing $75 million “excess cash” limitation for purposes of liquidity ahead of the closing of the merger.

Commitments, Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. There have been no material changes to our commitments, obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements detailed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Oil and Natural Gas Revenues

Our oil and natural gas revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased 18% and 23%, respectively, compared to these revenues for the same periods in 2022. The changes in our oil and natural gas revenues are primarily due to lower realized commodity prices (excluding any impact of our commodity derivative contracts), coupled with a decline in sales volumes, as reflected in the following table:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2023 vs. 2022				2023 vs. 2022
In thousands	Decrease in Revenues		Percentage Decrease in Revenues		Decrease in Revenues		Percentage Decrease in Revenues
Change in oil and natural gas revenues due to:
Decrease in sales volumes	$	(17,994)	(5)	%	$	(8,988)	(1)	%
Decrease in realized commodity prices	(51,359)		(13)	%	(279,811)		(22)	%
Total decrease in oil and natural gas revenues	$	(69,353)	(18)	%	$	(288,799)	(23)	%

Excluding any impact of our commodity derivative contracts, our average net realized commodity prices and NYMEX differentials were as follows during the first three quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

Prices received in a regional market fluctuate frequently and can differ from NYMEX pricing due to a variety of reasons, including supply and/or demand factors, crude oil quality, and location differentials.

CO2 Revenues and Expenses

We sell a portion of the CO2 we produce from Jackson Dome to third-party industrial users at various contracted prices primarily under long-term contracts. We recognize the revenue received on these CO2 sales as “CO2 sales and transportation fees” with the corresponding costs recognized as “CO2 operating and discovery expenses” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. CO2 sales and transportation fees were $12.7 million and $34.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $18.6 million and $44.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, primarily due to a decline in revenues received in 2022 pursuant to a short-term contractual agreement.

Commodity Derivative Contracts

We have routinely entered into oil derivative contracts to provide an economic hedge of our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil production and to provide more certainty to our future cash flows. These contracts currently consist of fixed-price swaps and costless collars. The following table summarizes the impact our crude oil derivative contracts had on our operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
In thousands	2023		2022		2023		2022
Receipt (payment) on settlements of commodity derivatives	$	(6,148)	$	(55,780)	$	1,074	$	(276,796)
Noncash fair value gains (losses) on commodity derivatives	(79,103)		165,028		(43,525)		136,471
Total income (expense)	$	(85,251)	$	109,248	$	(42,451)	$	(140,325)

Commodity derivatives income (expense) is comprised of (1) payments or receipts on settlements of commodity derivatives and (2) noncash changes in the fair values of commodity derivatives. Changes in the fair values of commodity derivatives are due to changes in oil futures prices since the prior period or subsequent to entering into new derivative agreements. During the first nine months of 2023, we received $1.1 million upon expiration of commodity derivative contracts, compared to cash payments upon settlement of such contracts of $276.8 million during the first nine months of 2022.

Total lease operating expenses per BOE	$	30.81	$	31.03	$	30.46	$	29.44

Total lease operating expenses decreased $7.0 million (5%) on an absolute-dollar basis, or $0.22 (1%) on a per-BOE basis, during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same prior-year period. The decrease on an absolute-dollar basis was primarily due to lower power and fuel costs and a $3.3 million reduction in expenses following the West Yellow Creek Field divestiture at the end of the second quarter of 2023 (see Overview – June 2023 West Yellow Creek Divestiture above), partially offset by higher labor costs and CO2 expense, with the per-BOE change impacted by the decline in total production between the third quarters of 2022 and 2023. Lease operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased $10.3 million (3%) on an absolute-dollar basis, or $1.02 (3%) on a per-BOE basis, compared to levels in the same period in 2022. The increase on an absolute-dollar and per-BOE basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to a) higher labor and repair and maintenance costs due to inflation and higher activity levels, b) a $6.7 million insurance reimbursement received in the prior-year period related to property damage costs incurred during 2013 at Delhi Field, and c) higher CO2 costs related to an industrial contract change, partially offset by lower power and fuel costs.

Taxes Other Than Income

Taxes other than income includes production, ad valorem and franchise taxes. Taxes other than income decreased $4.7 million (14%) and $16.4 million (16%) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same prior-year periods, due primarily to a decrease in production taxes resulting from lower oil and natural gas revenues.

We have historically entered into oil derivative contracts to provide an economic hedge of our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil production and to provide more certainty to our future cash flows. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

All of the mark-to-market valuations used for our commodity derivatives are provided by external sources. We manage and control market and counterparty credit risk through established internal control procedures that are reviewed on an ongoing basis. We attempt to minimize credit risk exposure to counterparties through formal credit policies, monitoring procedures and diversification. All of our commodity derivative contracts were with parties that were lenders under our senior secured bank credit facility (or affiliates of such lenders). We have included an estimate of nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement of our commodity derivative contracts, which we have measured for nonperformance risk based upon credit default swaps or credit spreads.

For accounting purposes, we do not apply hedge accounting to our commodity derivative contracts. This means that any changes in the fair value of these commodity derivative contracts are charged to earnings instead of charging the effective portion to other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion to earnings.

At September 30, 2023, our commodity derivative contracts were recorded at their fair value, which was a net liability of $41.0 million, a $79.1 million change from the $38.1 million net asset recorded at June 30, 2023, and a $43.5 million change from the $2.5 million net asset recorded at December 31, 2022. The changes are primarily related to the expiration of commodity derivative contracts during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, new commodity derivative contracts entered during 2023 for future periods, and to the changes in oil futures prices between December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023.

Commodity Derivative Sensitivity Analysis

Based on NYMEX crude oil futures prices and derivative contracts in place as of September 30, 2023, and assuming both a 10% increase and decrease thereon, we would expect to receive or make payments on our crude oil derivative contracts as shown in the following table:


In thousands	Receipt / (Payment)
Based on:
Futures prices as of September 30, 2023	$	(41,470)
10% increase in prices	(48,858)
10% decrease in prices	592

Debt and Interest Rate Sensitivity

As of September 30, 2023, we had $70.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our Bank Credit Agreement. At this level of variable-rate debt, an increase or decrease of 10% in interest rates would have an immaterial effect on our interest expense. Our Bank Credit Agreement does not have any triggers or covenants regarding our debt ratings with rating agencies. The following table presents the principal and fair values of our outstanding debt as of September 30, 2023:


In thousands	2023 - 2026		2027		Total		Fair Value
Variable rate debt:
Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility (weighted average interest rate of 8.2% at September 30, 2023)	$	—	$	70,000	$	70,000	$	70,000

See Note 3, Long-Term Debt, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details regarding our long-term debt.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. An evaluation of the effectiveness as of the end of the period covered by this report of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our certifying Chief Executive Officer and certifying Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023, to ensure that information that is then required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that information that is then required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our certifying Chief Executive Officer and certifying Chief Financial Officer, we determined that, during the third quarter of fiscal 2023, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various lawsuits, claims and regulatory proceedings incidental to our businesses. While we currently believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, litigation and regulatory proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties. We accrue losses from litigation and claims if we determine that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Notice of Probable Violation from Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (“PHMSA”) Regarding Delta-Tinsley CO2 Pipeline Failure

On May 26, 2022, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (“PHMSA”) of the U.S. Department of Transportation issued a Notice of Probable Violation, Proposed Civil Penalty, and Proposed Compliance Order (“NOPV”) relating to the February 2020 CO2 release from a pipeline failure in our CO2 pipeline in Yazoo County, Mississippi running between our Tinsley and Delhi fields, and assessed a preliminary civil penalty of $3.9 million, which the Company recorded in its financial statements in the second quarter of 2022. Over the ensuing ten months, the Company engaged in settlement discussions with PHMSA related to the nature and extent of the alleged probable violation and civil penalty and the future actions required in connection with the operation of the Company’s CO2 pipeline.

On March 24, 2023, Denbury and PHMSA entered into a final Consent Order and Consent Agreement that settled all of the allegations in the NOPV and also reduced the assessed penalty to $2.9 million. The $1.0 million reduction was reflected in “Other expenses” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the first quarter of 2023. Under the Consent Agreement, the Company has agreed to take numerous preventative and mitigative steps related to geohazard risks of its pipeline operations and related safety and community informational issues.

Item 5. Other Information

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, one Denbury officer adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (the “Plan”), entered into in writing when the officer was not in possession of material non-public information regarding the Company, which Plan was subject to a mandatory cooling off period. The Plan was adopted on September 7, 2023, by Nicole Jennings, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, and covered a total of 56,542 shares of the Company’s common stock, consisting of 28,479 shares issuable to her on December 4. 2023 under restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 28,063 shares issuable on the same date under performance stock units (“PSUs”). The Plan covered the net shares (not determinable at the time of adoption) after netting out that number of shares necessary to satisfy Federal income tax withholding obligations upon stock issuance. After the requisite cooling-off period, this 10b5-1 trading arrangement was scheduled to start on December 7, 2023, and expire on February 9, 2024. By the terms of the Plan as drafted, it automatically terminated on November 2, 2023, upon effectiveness of the Merger. This termination of the Plan occurred prior to the beginning of the trading period provided under the Plan, and consequently no transactions took place under the Plan.

Stockholders' Equity	9 Months Ended
Stockholders' Equity	Sep. 30, 2023
Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity	Note 5. Stockholders’ Equity 2022 Share Repurchases In May 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a common share repurchase program for up to $250 million of outstanding Denbury common stock. During June and July 2022, the Company repurchased 1,615,356 shares of Denbury common stock under this program for approximately $100 million, at an average price of $61.92 per share. No share repurchases have been made under this program since that time. Retirement of Treasury Stock During the year ended December 31, 2022, we retired 1.6 million shares of existing treasury stock, with a carrying value of $100 million, acquired through our stock repurchase program. Upon the retirement of treasury stock, we reduce common stock by the par value of common stock retired, and we reduce additional paid-in capital by the value of those shares in excess of par value. Tax Withholding and Treasury Stock Retirement in Connection with Stock Compensation Plans During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, employees surrendered 16,281 shares of common stock, with a carrying value of approximately $1.4 million, to cover employee tax withholdings upon vesting of restricted stock awards, which shares were concurrently retired. As awards for restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are settled, the Company issues the net shares of common stock, reduced by the units surrendered to cover tax withholding. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we decreased additional paid in capital by $1.3 million for tax withholdings on RSUs.

Income Taxes	9 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Sep. 30, 2023
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 6. Income Taxes We make estimates and judgments in determining our income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities that arise from differences in the timing and recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial reporting purposes. Significant judgment is required in estimating valuation allowances, and in making this determination we consider all available positive and negative evidence and make certain assumptions. The realization of a deferred tax asset ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income in the applicable carryback or carryforward periods. In our assessment, we consider the nature, frequency, and severity of current and cumulative losses, as well as historical and forecasted financial results, the overall business environment, our industry’s historic cyclicality, the reversal of existing deferred tax assets and liabilities, and tax planning strategies. We assess the valuation allowance recorded on our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, which was $59.2 million at December 31, 2022. This valuation allowance relates primarily to our Louisiana net deferred tax assets of $55.4 million, as well as our Alabama net deferred tax assets and certain Mississippi tax credits totaling $3.8 million. We have concluded that the benefits of such deferred tax assets were not more likely than not to be realized due to lack of sufficient taxable income to fully realize the benefits of such deferred tax assets. We evaluate our estimated annual effective income tax rate based on current and forecasted business results and enacted tax laws on a quarterly basis and apply this tax rate to our ordinary income or loss to calculate our estimated tax liability or benefit. Our income taxes are based on an estimated combined federal and state statutory rate of approximately 25% in 2023 and 2022. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was slightly higher than our estimated statutory rate primarily due to the effects of a small pretax loss; our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was slightly lower than our estimated statutory rate primarily due to excess stock compensation deductions that were recorded discretely in the first quarter. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was significantly lower than our estimated statutory rate due to the release of a portion of the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies Litigation and Regulatory Proceedings We are involved in various lawsuits, claims and regulatory proceedings incidental to our businesses. We are also subject to audits for various taxes (income, sales and use, and severance) in the various states in which we operate, and from time to time receive assessments for potential taxes that we may owe. We accrue for losses from litigation and claims if we determine that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. On May 26, 2022, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (“PHMSA”) of the U.S. Department of Transportation issued a Notice of Probable Violation, Proposed Civil Penalty, and Proposed Compliance Order (“NOPV”) relating to the February 2020 CO2 release from a pipeline failure near Satartia, Mississippi in our CO2 pipeline running between the Tinsley and Delhi fields, and assessed a preliminary civil penalty of $3.9 million, which the Company recorded in its financial statements in the second quarter of 2022. On March 24, 2023, Denbury and PHMSA entered into a final Consent Order and Consent Agreement that settled all of the allegations in the NOPV and also reduced the assessed penalty to $2.9 million. The $1.0 million reduction was reflected in “Other expenses” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the first quarter of 2023.
