CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Various statements contained in or incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Quarterly Report") are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These forward-looking statements include statements, projections and estimates concerning our operations, performance, business strategy, oil, natural gas liquids ("NGL") and natural gas reserves, drilling program capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources, the timing and success of specific projects, outcomes and effects of litigation, claims and disputes, derivative activities and potential financing. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as "estimate," "project," "predict," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "potential," "could," "may," "will," "foresee," "plan," "goal," "should," "intend," "pursue," "target," "continue," "suggest" or the negative thereof or other variations thereof or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. Among the factors that significantly impact our business and could impact our business in the future are:
the threat, occurrence, potential duration or other implications of epidemic or pandemic diseases, including the recent outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19"), or any government response to such occurrence or threat;
changes in domestic and global production, supply and demand for oil, NGL and natural gas, including the recent decrease in demand and oversupply of oil and natural gas as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and actions by OPEC+;
the volatility of oil, NGL and natural gas prices, including in our area of operation in the Permian Basin, and the extent and duration of price reductions and increased production by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries members and other oil exporting nations ("OPEC+");
the pipeline and storage constraints in the Permian Basin and the possibility of future production curtailment in the State of Texas;
revisions to our reserve estimates as a result of changes in commodity prices, decline curves and other uncertainties;
impacts of impairment write-downs on our financial statements;
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and our ability to remediate a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting;
the potential impact of suspending drilling programs and completions activities or shutting in a portion of our wells, as well as costs to later restart, and co‐development considerations such as horizontal spacing, vertical spacing and parent‐child interactions on production of oil, NGL and natural gas from our wells;
conditions of the energy industry and changes in the regulatory environment and in United States or international legal, tax, political, administrative or economic conditions, including trade policies or regulations that restrict imports or exports from the United States or prohibit or restrict our ability to apply hydraulic fracturing to our oil and natural gas wells and to access and dispose of water used in these operations;
the ongoing instability and uncertainty in the United States and international energy, financial and consumer markets that could adversely affect the liquidity available to us and our customers and the demand for commodities, including oil, NGL and natural gas;
our ability to maintain listing on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and to prevent the decrease in market price and liquidity of our common stock;
our ability to discover, estimate, develop and replace oil, NGL and natural gas reserves and inventory;
capital requirements for our operations and projects;
the long-term performance of wells that were completed using different technologies;
iii

the availability and costs of drilling and production equipment, supplies, labor and oil and natural gas processing and other services;
the availability and costs of sufficient pipeline and transportation facilities and gathering and processing capacity;
our ability to maintain the borrowing capacity under our Fifth Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facility (as amended, the "Senior Secured Credit Facility") or access other means of obtaining capital and liquidity, especially during periods of sustained low commodity prices;
our ability to successfully identify and consummate strategic acquisitions at purchase prices that are accretive to our financial results and to successfully integrate acquired businesses, assets and properties;
our ability to generate sufficient cash to service our indebtedness, fund our capital requirements and generate future profits;
the impact of repurchases, if any, of securities from time to time;
restrictions contained in our debt agreements, including our Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indentures governing our Senior Unsecured Notes (as defined below), as well as debt that could be incurred in the future;
our ability to maintain the health and safety of, as well as recruit and retain, qualified personnel necessary to operate our business;
the potentially insufficient refining capacity in the United States Gulf Coast to refine all of the light sweet crude oil being produced in the United States, which could result in widening price discounts to world oil prices and potential shut-in of production due to lack of sufficient markets;
risks related to the geographic concentration of our assets;
our ability to secure or generate sufficient electricity to produce our wells without limitations;
our ability to hedge and regulations that affect our ability to hedge;
legislation or regulations that prohibit or restrict our ability to drill new allocation wells;
our ability to execute our strategies;
competition in the oil and natural gas industry;
drilling and operating risks, including risks related to hydraulic fracturing activities,
and those related to inclement weather impacting our ability to produce existing wells and/or drill and complete new wells over an extended period of time; and
our ability to comply with federal, state and local regulatory requirements.
These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light of various factors, including those set forth under "Part I, Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," under "Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and our first-quarter 2020 Quarterly Report, under "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors" and "Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the "2019 Annual Report") and those set forth from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). These documents are available through our website or through the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval system at http://www.sec.gov. In light of such risks and uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report or, if earlier, as of the date they were made. We do not intend to, and disclaim any obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking statements unless required by securities law.

Laredo Petroleum, Inc.
Condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1—Organization and basis of presentation
a.    Organization
Laredo Petroleum, Inc. ("Laredo"), together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Laredo Midstream Services, LLC ("LMS") and Garden City Minerals, LLC ("GCM"), is an independent energy company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties, primarily in the Permian Basin of West Texas. In these notes, the "Company" refers to Laredo, LMS and GCM collectively, unless the context indicates otherwise. All amounts, dollars and percentages presented in these unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes are rounded and, therefore, approximate.
b.    Basis of presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements were derived from the historical accounting records of the Company and reflect the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods described herein. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All material intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in the consolidation of accounts.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have not been audited by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, except that the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all necessary adjustments to present fairly the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2020, results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted from the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2019 Annual Report.
Significant accounting policies
See Note 2 in the 2019 Annual Report for discussion of significant accounting policies.
Use of estimates in the preparation of interim unaudited consolidated financial statements
The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ.
For further information regarding the use of estimates and assumptions, see Note 2.b in the 2019 Annual Report and Notes 8.e and 8.f pertaining to the Company's 2020 performance unit awards and phantom unit awards, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported total assets, total liabilities, net income (loss), stockholders' equity or total operating, investing or financing cash flows.
Note 2—New accounting standards
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standard updates ("ASU") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board to the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and has determined there are no ASUs that are not yet adopted and meaningful to disclose as of June 30, 2020.
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, that requires an allowance for expected credit losses to be recorded against newly recognized financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical

experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Company has included these factors in its analysis and determined there was minimal impact to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
Note 3—Acquisitions and divestitures
a.    2020 Asset acquisitions and divestitures
On April 30, 2020, the Company closed an acquisition of 180 net acres in Howard County, Texas for a total purchase price of $0.6 million. The acquisition also provides for one or more potential contingent payments to be paid by the Company if the arithmetic average of the monthly settlement West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") NYMEX prices exceed certain thresholds for the contingency period beginning on January 1, 2021 and ending on the earlier of December 31, 2022 or the date the counterparty has received the maximum consideration of $1.2 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration was $0.2 million as of the acquisition date, which was recorded as part of the basis in the oil and natural gas properties acquired and as a contingent consideration derivative liability. See Note 10.a for the fair value of the contingent consideration as of June 30, 2020.
On February 4, 2020, the Company closed a transaction for $22.5 million acquiring 1,180 net acres and divesting 80 net acres in Howard County, Texas.
All transaction costs for the asset acquisitions were capitalized and were included in "Oil and natural gas properties" on the consolidated balance sheet.
On April 9, 2020, the Company closed a divestiture of 80 net acres and working interests in two producing wells in Glasscock County, Texas for a total sales price of $0.7 million, net of customary closing and subject to customary post-closing purchase price adjustments. The divestiture was recorded as an adjustment to oil and natural gas properties pursuant to the rules governing full cost accounting. Effective at closing, the operations and cash flows of these oil and natural gas properties were eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company, and the Company has no continuing involvement in the properties. This divestiture does not represent a strategic shift and will not have a major effect on the Company's future operations or financial results.
b.    2019 Acquisitions
Asset acquisitions
On December 12, 2019, the Company closed an acquisition of 7,360 net acres and 750 net royalty acres in Howard County, Texas for $131.7 million, net of customary closing and subject to customary post-closing purchase price adjustments. The acquisition also provides for a potential contingent payment, where the Company is required to pay $20.0 million if the arithmetic average of the monthly settlement WTI NYMEX prices for each consecutive calendar month for the one-year period beginning January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 exceeds a certain threshold. The fair value of the contingent consideration was $6.2 million as of the acquisition date, which was recorded as part of the basis in the oil and natural gas properties acquired and as a contingent consideration derivative liability. See Note 10.a for the fair value of the contingent consideration as of June 30, 2020. All transaction costs were capitalized and were included in "Oil and natural gas properties" on the consolidated balance sheet. This acquisition was primarily financed through borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Post-closing is expected to be finalized during the third quarter of 2020.
On June 20, 2019, the Company acquired 640 net acres in Reagan County, Texas for $2.9 million.
Business combination
On December 6, 2019, the Company closed a bolt-on acquisition of 4,475 contiguous net acres and working interests in 49 producing wells in western Glasscock County, Texas, which included net production of 1,400 barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") per day at the time of acquisition, for $64.6 million, net of customary closing purchase price adjustments. This acquisition was financed through borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Post-closing was finalized during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. Accordingly, the Company conducted assessments of net assets acquired and recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the estimated acquisition date fair

values, while transaction costs associated with the acquisition were expensed. The Company makes various assumptions in estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The most significant assumptions relate to the estimated fair values of evaluated and unevaluated oil and natural gas properties. The fair values of these properties were measured using a discounted cash flow model that converts future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation include estimates of: (i) forecasted oil, NGL and natural gas reserve quantities; (ii) future commodity strip prices as of the closing dates adjusted for transportation and regional price differentials; (iii) forecasted ad valorem taxes, production taxes, income taxes, operating expenses and development costs; and (iv) a peer group weighted-average cost of capital rate subject to additional project-specific risk factors. To compensate for the inherent risk of estimating the value of the unevaluated properties, the discounted future net cash flows of proved undeveloped and probable reserves are reduced by additional reserve adjustment factors. These assumptions represent Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 10 in the 2019 Annual Report.
The following table reflects an aggregate of the final estimate of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in this business combination on December 6, 2019:
(in thousands) Fair values of acquisition
Fair values of net assets:
Evaluated oil and natural gas properties $ 29,921   
Unevaluated oil and natural gas properties 34,700   
Asset retirement cost 2,728   
     Total assets acquired 67,349   
Asset retirement obligations (2,728)  
        Net assets acquired $ 64,621   
Fair values of consideration paid for net assets:
Cash consideration $ 64,621   
c.    Exchange of unevaluated oil and natural gas properties
From time to time, the Company exchanges undeveloped acreage with third parties. The exchanges are recorded at fair value and the difference is accounted for as an adjustment of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized pursuant to the rules governing full cost accounting, unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil, NGL and natural gas.

The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for its oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all acquisition, exploration and development costs, including certain employee-related costs, incurred for the purpose of acquiring, exploring for or developing oil and natural gas properties, are capitalized and, once evaluated, depleted on a composite unit-of-production method based on estimates of proved oil, NGL and natural gas reserves. The depletion base includes estimated future development costs and dismantlement, restoration and abandonment costs, net of estimated salvage values. Capitalized costs include the cost of drilling and equipping productive wells, dry hole costs, lease acquisition costs, delay rentals and other costs related to such activities. Costs, including employee-related costs, associated with production and general corporate activities are expensed in the period incurred.
The Company excludes unevaluated property acquisition costs and exploration costs from the depletion calculation until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. The Company capitalizes a portion of its interest costs to its unevaluated properties and such costs become subject to depletion when proved reserves can be assigned to the associated properties. All items classified as unevaluated properties are assessed on a quarterly basis for possible impairment. The assessment includes consideration of the following factors, among others: intent to drill, remaining lease term, geological and geophysical evaluations, drilling results and activity, the assignment of proved reserves and the economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned. During any period in which these factors indicate an impairment, the cumulative drilling costs incurred to date for such property and all or a portion of the associated leasehold costs are transferred to the full cost pool and are then subject to depletion.
Sales of oil and natural gas properties, whether or not being depleted currently, are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil, NGL and natural gas.

The full cost ceiling is based principally on the estimated future net revenues from proved oil, NGL and natural gas reserves, which exclude the effect of the Company's commodity derivative transactions, discounted at 10%. The SEC guidelines require companies to use the unweighted arithmetic average first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period before differentials ("Benchmark Prices"). The Benchmark Prices are then adjusted for quality, transportation fees, geographical differentials, marketing bonuses or deductions and other factors affecting the price received at the wellhead ("Realized Prices") without giving effect to the Company's commodity derivative transactions. The Realized Prices are utilized to calculate the estimated future net revenues in the full cost ceiling calculation. Significant inputs included in the calculation of discounted cash flows used in the impairment analysis include the Company's estimate of operating and development costs, anticipated production of proved reserves and other relevant data. In the event the unamortized cost of evaluated oil and natural gas properties being depleted exceeds the full cost ceiling, as defined by the SEC, the excess is expensed in the period such excess occurs. Once incurred, a write-down of oil and natural gas properties is not reversible.

Note 7—Stockholders' equity
a.    Reverse stock split and Authorized Share Reduction
On March 17, 2020, the board of directors authorized an amendment to the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation ("Certificate of Incorporation") to effect, at the discretion of the board of directors (i) a reverse stock split that would reduce the number of shares of outstanding common stock in accordance with a ratio to be determined by the board of directors within a range of 1-for-5 and 1-for-20 currently outstanding and (ii) a reduction of the number of authorized shares of common stock by a corresponding proportion ("Authorized Share Reduction").
On May 14, 2020, after receiving stockholder approval of the amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to effect, at the discretion of the board of directors, the reverse stock split and the Authorized Share Reduction, the board of directors approved the implementation of the reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-20 currently outstanding shares of common stock, and the related corresponding Authorized Share Reduction.
On June 1, 2020, the amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation became effective and effected the 1-for-20 reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock and the related Authorized Share Reduction from 450,000,000 to 22,500,000 authorized shares, par value $0.01 per share, with authorized shares of preferred stock remaining unchanged at 50,000,000, par value $0.01 per share, for a total of 72,500,000 shares of capital stock. See Note 8 for discussion of the amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan to proportionately reduce the number of awards that may be granted.

b.    Treasury stock
Treasury stock is recorded at cost, which includes incremental direct transaction costs, and is retired upon acquisition as a result of (i) stock exchanged to satisfy tax withholding that arises upon the lapse of restrictions on share-settled equity-based awards at the awardee's election or (ii) stock exchanged for the cost of exercise of stock options at the awardee's election.
Note 8—Equity Incentive Plan
The Laredo Petroleum, Inc. Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated as of May 16, 2019 (the "Equity Incentive Plan"), provides for the granting of incentive awards in the form of restricted stock awards, stock option awards, performance share awards, outperformance share awards, performance unit awards, phantom unit awards and other awards. On June 1, 2020, in connection with the effectiveness of the reverse stock split and Authorized Share Reduction, the board of directors approved and adopted an amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan to proportionately adjust the limitations on awards that may be granted under the Equity Incentive Plan. Following the amendment, an aggregate of 1,492,500 shares may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan. See Note 7.a for additional discussion of the reverse stock split and Authorized Share Reduction.
The Company recognizes the fair value of equity-based compensation awards, expected to vest over the requisite service period, as a charge against earnings, net of amounts capitalized. The Company's restricted stock awards, stock option awards, performance share awards and outperformance share award are accounted for as equity awards and the Company's performance unit awards and phantom unit awards are accounted for as liability awards. Equity-based compensation expense is included in "General and administrative" on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. The Company capitalizes a portion of equity-based compensation for employees who are directly involved in the acquisition, exploration or development of oil and natural gas properties into the full cost pool. Capitalized equity-based compensation is included in "Evaluated properties" on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.
a.    Restricted stock awards
All service vesting restricted stock awards are treated as issued and outstanding in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Per the award agreement terms, if employment is terminated prior to the restriction lapse date for reasons other than death or disability, the restricted stock awards are forfeited and canceled and are no longer considered issued and outstanding. If the termination of employment is by reason of death or disability, all of the holder's restricted stock will automatically vest. Restricted stock awards granted to employees vest in a variety of schedules that mainly include (i) 33%, 33% and 34% vesting per year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date and (ii) full vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date. Restricted stock awards granted to non-employee directors vest immediately on the grant date.

The Company utilizes the closing stock price on the grant date to determine the fair value of restricted stock awards. As of June 30, 2020, unrecognized equity-based compensation related to the restricted stock awards expected to vest was $10.5 million. Such cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.72 years.

b.    Stock option awards
As of June 30, 2020, the 16,499 outstanding stock option awards have a weighted-average exercise price of $248.04 per award and a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 3.17 years. The stock option awards were adjusted for the Company's 1-for-20 reverse stock split as discussed in Note 7.a. There were de minimis cancellations and forfeitures of stock option awards during the six months ended June 30, 2020, and there were no grants or exercises. The vested and exercisable stock option awards as of June 30, 2020 had no intrinsic value.
c.    Performance share awards
Performance share awards, which the Company has determined are equity awards, are subject to a combination of market, performance and service vesting criteria. For portions of awards with market criteria, which include: (i) the relative three-year total shareholder return ("TSR") comparing the Company's shareholder return to the shareholder return of the peer group specified in each award agreement ("RTSR Performance Percentage") and (ii) the Company's absolute three-year total shareholder return ("ATSR Appreciation"), a Monte Carlo simulation prepared by an independent third party is utilized to determine the grant-date (or modification date) fair value, and the associated expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year requisite service period of the awards. For portions of awards with performance criteria, which is the Company's three-year return on average capital employed ("ROACE Percentage"), the fair value is equal to the Company's closing stock price on the grant date (or modification date), and for each reporting period, the associated expense fluctuates and is adjusted based on an estimated payout of the number of shares of common stock to be delivered on the payment date for the three-year performance period. Any shares earned under performance share awards are expected to be issued in the first quarter following the completion of the respective requisite service periods based on the achievement of certain market and performance criteria, and the payout can range from 0% to 200%.

(1)The fair values of the performance shares granted on February 28, 2019 are based on the May 16, 2019 modification date. See Note 8.b in the 2019 Annual Report for additional information on the award conversion.
(2)Per share data has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Company's 1-for-20 reverse stock split effective June 1, 2020, as described in Note 7.a.
(3)As the (1/2) ROACE Factor is based on performance criteria, the expense fluctuates based on the estimated payout and is redetermined each reporting period and the life-to-date recognized expense for the respective awards is adjusted accordingly.
(4)The combined grant-date fair value per performance share is the combination of the fair value per performance share weighted for the market and performance criteria for the respective awards.
(5)The combined expense per performance share is the combination of the expense per performance share for market and performance criteria for the respective awards.
As of June 30, 2020, unrecognized equity-based compensation related to the performance share awards expected to vest was $4.6 million. Such cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.56 years.
d.    Outperformance share award
An outperformance share award was granted during the year ended December 31, 2019, in conjunction with the appointment of the Company's President, and is accounted for as an equity award. The award was adjusted for the Company's 1-for-20 reverse stock split as discussed in Note 7.a. If earned, the payout ranges from 0 to 50,000 shares in the Company's common stock per the vesting schedule. This award is subject to a combination of market and service vesting criteria, therefore, a Monte Carlo simulation prepared by an independent third party was utilized to determine the grant-date fair value with the associated expense recognized over the requisite service period. The payout of this award is based on the highest 50 consecutive trading day average closing stock price of the Company that occurs during the performance period that commenced on June 3, 2019 and ends on June 3, 2022 ("Final Date"). Of the earned outperformance shares, one-third of the award will vest on the Final Date, one-third will vest on the first anniversary of the Final Date and one-third will vest on the second anniversary of the Final Date, provided that the participant has been continuously employed with the Company through the applicable vesting date.
As of June 30, 2020, unrecognized equity-based compensation related to the outperformance share award expected to vest was $0.5 million. Such cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.00 years.

e.    Performance unit awards
Performance unit awards, which the Company has determined are liability awards since they are settled in cash, are subject to a combination of market, performance and service vesting criteria. For portions of awards with market criteria, which include: (i) the RTSR Performance Percentage (as defined above) and (ii) the ATSR Appreciation (as defined above), a Monte Carlo simulation prepared by an independent third party is utilized to determine the fair value, and is re-measured at each reporting period until settlement. For portions of awards with performance criteria, which is the ROACE Percentage (as defined above), the Company's closing stock price is utilized to determine the fair value and is re-measured on the last trading day of each reporting period until settlement and, additionally, the associated expense fluctuates based on an estimated payout for the three-year performance period. The expense related to the performance unit awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year requisite service period of the awards, and the life-to-date recognized expense is adjusted accordingly at each reporting period based on the quarterly fair value re-measurements and redetermination of the estimated payout for the performance criteria. Any units earned, are expected to be paid in cash during the first quarter following the completion of the requisite service period, based on the achievement of certain market and performance criteria, and the payout can range from 0% to 200%. Per the award agreement terms, if employment is terminated prior to the restriction lapse date for reasons other than death or disability, the performance unit awards are forfeited and canceled. If the termination of employment is by reason of death or disability, and the market and performance criteria are satisfied, then the holder of the earned performance unit awards will receive a prorated payment based on the number of days the participant was employed with the Company during the performance period.
The following table reflects the performance unit award activity for the six months ended June 30, 2020:

(1)Units have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Company's 1-for-20 reverse stock split effective June 1, 2020, as described in Note 7.a.
(2)The performance unit awards granted on February 28, 2019 were originally determined to be liability awards due to the board of directors election to settle the awards in cash. These awards were converted to performance share awards during the three months ended June 30, 2019. See Note 8.b in the 2019 Annual Report for additional information on the award conversion.
(3)The amounts potentially payable in cash at the end of the requisite service period for the performance unit awards granted on March 5, 2020 will be determined based on three criteria: (i) RTSR Performance Percentage, (ii) ATSR Appreciation and (iii) ROACE Percentage. The RTSR Performance Percentage, ATSR Appreciation and ROACE Percentage will be used to identify the "RTSR Factor," the "ATSR Factor" and the "ROACE Factor," respectively, which are used to compute the "Performance Multiple" and ultimately to determine the final value of each performance unit to be paid in cash on the payment date per the award agreement, subject to withholding requirements. In computing the Performance Multiple, the RTSR Factor is given a 1/3 weight, the ATSR Factor a 1/3 weight and the ROACE Factor a 1/3 weight. These awards have a performance period of January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022.

(1)The remaining performance period matched zero-coupon risk-free interest rate was derived from the United States ("U.S.") Treasury constant maturities yield curve on June 30, 2020.
(2)The Company utilized its own remaining performance period matched historical volatility in order to develop the expected volatility.
(3)As the (1/3) ROACE Factor is based on performance criteria, the expense fluctuates based on the estimated payout and is redetermined each reporting period and the life-to-date recognized expense for the award is adjusted accordingly.
(4)The combined fair value per performance unit is the combination of the fair value per performance unit weighted for the market and performance criteria for the award.
(5)The combined expense per performance unit is the combination of the expense per performance unit for market and performance criteria for the award.
As of June 30, 2020, unrecognized equity-based compensation related to the performance unit awards expected to vest was $1.6 million. Such cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.75 years.
f.    Phantom unit awards
Phantom unit awards, which the Company has determined are liability awards, represent the holder's right to receive the cash equivalent of one share of common stock of the Company for each phantom unit as of the applicable vesting date, subject to withholding requirements. Phantom unit awards granted to employees vest 33%, 33% and 34% per year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. Per the award agreement terms, if employment is terminated prior to the restriction lapse date

Note 9—Derivatives
The Company has three types of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2020: (i) commodity derivatives ("Commodity"), (ii) debt interest rate derivative ("Interest rate") and (iii) contingent consideration derivatives ("Contingent consideration"). See Note 10.a for the fair value measurement on a recurring basis of derivatives and Note 2.f in the 2019 Annual Report for the Company's significant accounting policies for derivatives. The Company's derivatives were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and the Company does not enter into such instruments for speculative trading purposes. Accordingly, the changes in fair value are recognized in "Gain (loss) on derivatives, net" under "Non-operating income (expense)" on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
The following table summarizes components of the Company's gain (loss) on derivatives, net by type of derivative instrument for the periods presented:
Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30,
(in thousands) 2020 2019 2020 2019

Gain (loss) on derivatives, net $ (90,537)   $ 88,394    $ 207,299    $ 40,029   
a.    Commodity
Due to the inherent volatility in oil, NGL and natural gas prices and differences in the prices of oil, NGL and natural gas between where the Company produces and where the Company sells such commodities, the Company engages in commodity derivative transactions, such as puts, swaps, collars and basis swaps to hedge price risk associated with a portion of the Company's anticipated sales volumes. By removing a portion of the price volatility associated with future sales volumes, the Company expects to mitigate, but not eliminate, the potential effects of variability in cash flows from operations. See Note 9 in the 2019 Annual Report for information on the transaction types and settlement indexes. The Brent ICE to WTI NYMEX basis swaps, which the Company entered into in the first quarter of 2020, are settled based on the differential between the basis swaps' fixed differential as compared to the differential between the arithmetic average of each day's index prices for the first nearby month on the pricing dates in each calculation period, for only days when both indices settle, with the index prices being (i) the ICE Brent Crude Oil Futures Contract except for the last day of trading for the applicable expiring Brent Crude Oil Futures Contract whereby the second nearby month of the Brent Crude Oil Futures Contract settlement price will be used and (ii) the NYMEX West Texas Intermediate Light Sweet Crude Oil Futures Contract. See Note 19.b for a discussion of derivatives entered into subsequent to June 30, 2020.
In regards to the Company's basis swaps, when the settlement basis differential is below the fixed basis differential, the counterparty pays the Company an amount equal to the difference between the fixed basis differential and the settlement basis differential multiplied by the hedged contract volume. When the settlement basis differential is above the fixed basis differential, the Company pays the counterparty an amount equal to the difference between the settlement basis differential and the fixed basis differential multiplied by the hedged contract volume.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company completed a hedge restructuring by early terminating collars and entering into new swaps.

b.    Interest rate
Due to the inherent volatility in interest rates, the Company has entered into an interest rate derivative swap to hedge interest rate risk associated with a portion of the Company's anticipated outstanding debt under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Company will pay a fixed rate over the contract term for that portion. By removing a portion of the interest rate volatility associated with anticipated outstanding debt, the Company expects to mitigate, but not eliminate, the potential effects of variability in cash flows from operations.
The following table details the interest rate derivative that was entered into during the three months ended June 30, 2020:

LIBOR - Swap $ 100,000    0.345  % April 16, 2020 - April 18, 2022
c.    Contingent consideration
The Company's asset acquisition of oil and natural gas properties that closed on April 30, 2020 provides for potential contingent payments to be paid by the Company if the arithmetic average of the monthly settlement WTI NYMEX prices exceed certain thresholds for the contingency period beginning on January 1, 2021 and ending on the earlier of December 31, 2022 or the date the counterparty has received the maximum consideration of $1.2 million.
See Notes 3.a and 3.b for further discussion of the Company's asset acquisitions associated with potential contingent consideration payments. At each quarterly reporting period, the Company remeasures each contingent consideration with the changes in fair values recognized in earnings. See Note 10.a for the fair value of the contingent considerations as of June 30, 2020.

The Company's asset acquisition of oil and natural gas properties that closed on April 30, 2020 provides for potential contingent payments to be paid by the Company. The fair value of the contingent consideration was $0.2 million as of the April 30, 2020 acquisition date, which was recorded as part of the basis in the oil and natural gas properties acquired and as a contingent consideration derivative liability. At each quarterly reporting period prior to the end of the contingency period, the Company will remeasure the contingent consideration with the changes in fair value recognized in earnings.
See Note 10.a in the 2019 Annual Report for discussion of the 2019 contingent consideration and for significant Level 2 inputs for the option pricing model used in the fair value mark-to-market analysis of contingent consideration derivatives. The Company reviewed the third-party specialist's valuations, including the related inputs, and has analyzed changes in fair values between the acquisition closing and/or reporting dates.

See Notes 3.a and 3.b for further discussion of the Company's asset acquisitions associated with the potential contingent consideration payments.
b.    Fair value measurement on a nonrecurring basis
See Note 2.j in the 2019 Annual Report for the Level 2 fair value hierarchy input assumptions used in estimating the net realizable value of inventory used to account for the $1.3 million impairment expense of inventory recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2020, pertaining to line-fill and other inventories. There were no comparable impairments of inventory recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
See Note 4.a in the 2019 Annual Report for the Level 3 fair value hierarchy input assumptions used in estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisition of evaluated and unevaluated oil and natural gas properties accounted for as a business combination for the year ended December 31, 2019. There were no acquisitions of evaluated and unevaluated oil and natural gas properties accounted for as business combinations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019.

Note 11—Net income (loss) per common share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution of non-vested restricted stock awards, outstanding stock option awards, non-vested performance share awards and the non-vested outperformance share award. See Note 8 for additional discussion of these awards. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, all of these awards were anti-dilutive due to the Company's net loss and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per common share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the dilutive effects of these awards were calculated utilizing the treasury stock method. See Note 9 in the second-quarter 2019 Quarterly Report for discussion of the awards excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per common share.

Note 12—Commitments and contingencies
a.    Litigation
From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings for which the Company may not have insurance coverage. While many of these matters involve inherent uncertainty, as of the date hereof, the Company does not currently believe that any such legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
b.    Drilling rig contract
The Company has committed to a drilling rig contract with a third party to facilitate the Company's drilling plans. This contract is for a term of multiple months and contains an early termination clause that requires the Company to potentially pay penalties to the third party should the Company cease drilling efforts. These penalties would negatively impact the Company's financial statements upon early contract termination. There were no penalties incurred for early contract termination for either of the six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019. As the Company's current drilling rig contract is an operating lease with an initial term greater than 12 months, the present value of the future commitment as of June 30, 2020 related to the drilling rig contract is included in current and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020. Management does not currently anticipate the early termination of this contract in 2020.
c.    Firm sale and transportation commitments
The Company has committed to deliver, for sale or transportation, fixed volumes of product under certain contractual arrangements that specify the delivery of a fixed and determinable quantity. If not fulfilled, the Company is subject to firm transportation payments on excess pipeline capacity and other contractual penalties. These commitments are normal and customary for the Company's business. In certain instances, the Company has used spot market purchases to meet its commitments in certain locations or due to favorable pricing. No contractual penalties were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company incurred contractual penalties of $0.5 million and $1.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Future firm sale and transportation commitments of $306.4 million as of June 30, 2020 are not recorded on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet.

d.    Federal and state regulations
Oil and natural gas exploration, production and related operations are subject to extensive federal and state laws, rules and regulations. Failure to comply with these laws, rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. The regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases the cost of doing business and affects profitability. The Company believes that it is in compliance with currently applicable federal and state regulations related to oil and natural gas exploration and production, and that compliance with the current regulations will not have a material adverse impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. These rules and regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted; therefore, the Company is unable to predict the future cost or impact of complying with these regulations.
e.    Environmental
The Company is subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, among other things, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Company to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites. Environmental expenditures are expensed in the period incurred. Liabilities for expenditures of a non-capital nature are recorded when environmental assessment or remediation is probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the timing of cash payments is fixed and readily determinable. Management believes no materially significant liabilities of this nature existed as of June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Note 15—Revenue recognition
Oil, NGL and natural gas sales and sales of purchased oil revenues are generally recognized at the point in time that control of the product is transferred to the customer. Midstream service revenues are generated through fees for products and services that need to be delivered by midstream infrastructure, including oil and liquids-rich natural gas gathering services as well as fuel for drilling and completions activities, natural gas lift and water delivery, recycling and takeaway and are recognized over time as the customer benefits from these services when provided. A more detailed summary of the underlying contracts that give rise to the Company's revenues and methods of recognition can be found in Note 13.b in the 2019 Annual Report.
Note 16—Income taxes
The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes and the Texas franchise tax. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards totaling $2.0 billion, and of this amount, $1.7 billion will begin to expire in 2026 and $299.3 million will not expire but may be limited in future periods, and state of Oklahoma net operating loss carryforwards totaling $34.7 million that will begin to expire in 2032. As of June 30, 2020, the Company believes it is more likely than not that a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards are not fully realizable. The Company continues to consider new evidence, both positive and negative, in determining whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. Such consideration includes projected future cash flows from its oil, NGL and natural gas reserves (including the timing of those cash flows), the reversal of deferred tax liabilities recorded as of June 30, 2020, the Company's ability to capitalize intangible drilling costs, rather than expensing these costs and future projections of Oklahoma sourced income. As of June 30, 2020, a total valuation allowance of $404.5 million has been recorded to offset the Company's federal and Oklahoma net deferred tax assets, resulting in a Texas net deferred tax asset of $2.3 million, which is included in "Other noncurrent assets, net" on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.
With the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the Alternative Minimum Tax ("AMT") on corporations was appealed and a provision was added allowing corporations to offset future tax liabilities by the amount of AMT paid with an AMT credit carryforward. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, enacted March 27, 2020 ("CARES Act"), modified the opportunity for corporations to receive the AMT carryover refunds by adding in a provision where the AMT credit carryforwards do not expire and are fully refundable with the filing of the Company's 2019 consolidated tax return. The Company paid AMT in 2017, creating an AMT credit carryforward in the amount of $4.1 million, of which $2.0 million was received in 2019. The remaining $2.1 million is included in "Accounts receivable, net" on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020.

Note 18—Organizational restructurings
On June 17, 2020, the Company announced organizational changes, including a workforce reduction of 22 individuals which included a senior officer, that were implemented immediately, subject to certain administrative procedures. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and lower oil prices, the Company’s board of directors continues to monitor and evaluate the Company’s business and strategy and to reduce costs and better position the Company for the future. In connection with these changes, the Company incurred $4.2 million of one-time charges during the three months ended June 30, 2020, comprised of compensation, tax, professional, outplacement and insurance-related expenses, with $1.7 million accrued in "Other current liabilities" on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020. All equity-based compensation awards held by the affected employees were forfeited and the corresponding equity-based compensation was reversed totaling $0.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. See Note 8 for additional information on the associated forfeiture activity.
On April 2, 2019, the Company announced the retirement of two of its senior officers. Additionally, on April 8, 2019, the Company committed to a company-wide reorganization effort (the "Plan") that included a workforce reduction of approximately 20%, which included an executive officer. The reduction in workforce was communicated to employees on April 8, 2019 and implemented immediately, subject to certain administrative procedures. The Company's board of directors approved the Plan in response to market conditions and to reduce costs and better position the Company for the future. In connection with the retirements on April 2, 2019 and with the Plan, the Company incurred $10.4 million of one-time charges during the three months ended June 30, 2019 comprised of compensation, taxes, professional fees, outplacement and insurance-related expenses. All equity-based compensation awards held by the two senior officers, the executive officer and the employees who were affected by the Plan were forfeited and the corresponding equity-based compensation was reversed totaling $6.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. See Note 6.c in the second-quarter 2019 Quarterly Report for additional information on the associated forfeiture activity.
The incurred charges were recorded as "Organizational restructuring expenses" and the equity-based compensation expense reversals are recorded in "General and administrative" on the unaudited consolidated statement of operations.

Note 19—Subsequent events
a.    Senior Secured Credit Facility
On July 14, 2020, the Company borrowed an additional $45.0 million on the Senior Secured Credit Facility. On July 31, 2020, the Company made a $20 million payment on the Senior Secured Credit Facility. As a result, the outstanding balance under the Senior Secured Credit Facility was $300.0 million as of August 4, 2020.
On August 5, 2020, the Company received a waiver from the lenders under its Senior Secured Credit Facility of certain representations and warranties relating to the Company's March 31, 2020 quarterly results. Such representations and warranties were incorrect at the time they were given due to the Company's previously disclosed accounting error. Additionally, due to the accounting error the Company was temporarily not in compliance with the financial reporting covenants. As of the filing of its restated unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company regained compliance with the financial reporting covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the waiver cured the past defaults of the representations and warranties. The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains both financial and non-financial covenants, all of which the Company was in compliance with for all periods presented.

Recent developments
Restatement of our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2020
On August 5, 2020, we filed an amendment to our quarterly report to restate our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “Restated First Quarter Financials”) to correct an error in the future production costs component of the estimated present value (“PV-10”) of our reserves. The omitted costs caused an understatement of approximately $160 million of the full cost ceiling impairment expense and balances of accumulated depletion and impairment and accumulated deficit, and a corresponding overstatement of the same amount to both net income and the balance of our oil and natural gas properties for the first quarter of 2020. This error was identified in the course of preparing our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. This error was isolated to our first-quarter estimate of the PV-10 of our reserves and had no impact on our prior financial statements, including the 2019 Annual Report. This Quarterly Report gives effect to the restated financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. In addition, we have received a waiver from the lenders under our Senior Secured Credit Facility in connection with the error.
Reverse stock split
On June 1, 2020, we effected the previously announced 1-for-20 reverse stock split of our common stock and the related reduction of the number of authorized shares of common stock, which were previously approved by our stockholders at our 2020 annual meeting of stockholders. Our common stock began trading, on a split-adjusted basis and under our existing trading symbol, at the opening of trading on June 2, 2020. See Note 7.a to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for discussion of the reverse stock split.
On July 1, 2020, we were notified that we were in compliance with the New York Stock Exchange's continued listing criterion of a minimum share price of $1 over a 30 trading-day period.
Organizational restructuring
On June 17, 2020, we announced organizational changes, including a workforce reduction of 22 individuals, which included a senior officer, that were implemented immediately, subject to certain administrative procedures. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and lower oil prices, our board of directors continues to monitor and evaluate our business and strategy and to reduce costs and better position us for the future. In connection with the organizational changes, we announced the departure of our former Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer ("former CFO"), effective as of June 17, 2020. Our former CFO's departure was not the result of any dispute or disagreement with us or our accounting practices or financial statements. We incurred $4.2 million of one-time organizational restructuring expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2020, comprised of compensation, tax, professional, outplacement and insurance-related expenses. See Note 18 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for discussion of the organizational restructuring.

On June 17, 2020, we announced that the board of directors appointed Bryan J. Lemmerman as Senior Vice President—Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Secretary effective as of June 30, 2020.
COVID-19
In December 2019, a highly transmissible and pathogenic strain of coronavirus surfaced in China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout the world, including the U.S. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern," and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a "pandemic". Federal, state and local authorities have recommended stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines for U.S. residents and to avoid all unnecessary travel for any reason including non-essential jobs for an indeterminate amount of time until the spread of COVID-19 declines to acceptable lower levels. Such actions have resulted in a swift and unprecedented reduction in international and U.S. economic activity which, in turn, has adversely affected the demand for oil and natural gas and caused significant volatility and disruption of the financial markets. We are not able to predict the duration or ultimate impact that COVID-19 will have on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are responding to these current events with thoughtful planning and are committed to maintaining safe and reliable operations. The health and safety of our employees, suppliers and customers remain a top priority. To protect the health and safety of our employees and business partners, we have instituted policies to promote social distancing, both in the office and at field locations. Additionally, the majority of our non-field based employees have successfully transitioned to working from home. We are closely monitoring local infection rates and instituting the appropriate Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines to determine return-to-work policies while minimizing interruptions to our operations. We do not believe that these measures have had a material effect on our workforce productivity.
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It included provisions intended to provide relief to individuals and businesses in the form of loans and grants, and tax changes, among other provisions. At this time, we have not sought relief in the form of loans or grants from the CARES Act; however, we have benefited from the provision where the AMT credit carryforwards do not expire and are fully refundable.
Volatility in Commodity Prices
In early March 2020, concurrent with the spread of COVID-19 to the U.S. and just prior to the government actions mentioned above, members of OPEC+ proposed production cuts in an attempt to stabilize the oil market. However, OPEC+ failed to reach an agreement and some producers instead announced planned production increases, after which oil prices declined sharply. By mid-March 2020, WTI oil prices had declined to less than $25 per barrel, the lowest price since 2002. Although OPEC+ subsequently reached agreement in April 2020 on production cuts that went into effect in May 2020, oil prices continued to decline following announcement of the agreement. Further, producers in the U.S. and globally have not reduced oil production at a rate sufficient to match the sharp slowdown in economic activity caused by measures to control the spread of COVID-19, resulting in an oversupply of oil that recently caused WTI oil prices per barrel to fall to -$37 on April 20th. Since the April 20th low, WTI oil prices have rebounded to around $40, trading in a range of $40 to $42 in the month of July.
We maintain an active, multi-year commodity derivatives strategy to minimize commodity price volatility and support cash flows needed for operations. For July through December 2020, we currently have oil derivatives in place for 3.6 million barrels swapped at a weighted-average price of $59.50 WTI per barrel and 1.2 million barrels swapped at a weighted-average price of$63.07 Brent per barrel. We entered into derivatives subsequent to June 30, 2020 for both 2021 and 2022. For 2021, we currently have oil derivatives in place for 7.4 million barrels at a weighted-average floor price of $51.11 Brent per barrel. For 2022, we currently have oil derivatives in place for 2.9 million barrels at a weighted-average floor price of $46.40 Brent per barrel.
With oil prices moving to above $40 late in the second quarter of 2020, and our execution of additional oil commodity hedges for 2021 and 2022 subsequent to June 30, 2020, we expect to add completions activity in the last four months of 2020 and drilling activity beginning in January of 2021. We currently expect capital expenditures for 2020 to be approximately $340 million to $350 million. We will continue to monitor commodity prices and service costs and adjust activity levels in order to proactively manage our cash flows and preserve liquidity. We will continue to utilize this slowdown as an opportunity to improve on our strong operations performance and to continue to reduce expenses to the lowest and most efficient cost structure possible.

Senior Secured Credit Facility
On April 30, 2020, as a result of the semi-annual redetermination, we entered into the fourth amendment to our Senior Secured Credit Facility pursuant to which the borrowing base and aggregate elected commitment were reduced to $725.0 million each. Other than the decrease in borrowing base and aggregate elected commitment, among the more significant changes are: (i) margin applied to both Eurodollar and Adjusted Base Rate Loans and the fees charged in connection with letters of credit were increased by 0.500%, in each case, at all levels of Borrowing Base utilization; (ii) the aggregate amount of Asset Dispositions that may occur since the Determination Date of the Borrowing Base then in effect without triggering an automatic reduction of the Borrowing Base was reduced from 10% to 5% of the Borrowing Base then in effect; (iii) the definition of Permitted Investments was modified to eliminate a safe harbor for investments in partnerships and joint ventures and the general "other" safe harbor; and (iv) the definition of Permitted Investment and covenants limiting Distributions and Redemption of Senior Notes were modified such that Investment, Distributions and Redemptions of Senior Notes remain permitted, in each case, so long as immediately after giving effect to such Investment, Distribution or Redemption (a) the amount of Distributions, Investments and Redemptions from and after April 1, 2020 is not greater than $100 million, (b) no Default or Event of Default exists, (c) undrawn Commitments are greater than or equal to 35% of Total Commitments, (d) the pro forma ratio of Consolidated Current Assets to Consolidated Current Liabilities is not less than 1.00 to 1.00, and (e) the pro forma Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio is not greater than 2.50 to 1.00. All capitalized terms above have the meanings ascribed to them in the Fourth Amendment or the Senior Secured Credit Facility, as applicable. The financial covenant requiring a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio of not greater than 4.25 to 1.00 at each fiscal quarter end for the preceding four fiscal quarters remains unchanged.
Pricing and reserves
Our results of operations are heavily influenced by oil, NGL and natural gas prices, which have experienced significant declines that continue in third-quarter 2020. Oil, NGL and natural gas price fluctuations are currently impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and policies of OPEC+, which have generally increased supply, decreased demand, made more volatile economic and market conditions, caused transportation and storage constraints and led to a variety of additional issues on both a regional and global basis. Historically, commodity prices have experienced significant fluctuations; however, the volatility in the prices has substantially increased as a result of the recent world developments in 2020. The duration of such developments may affect the economic viability of, and our ability to fund our drilling projects, as well as the economic valuation and economic recovery of oil, NGL and natural gas reserves.
We have entered into a number of commodity derivative contracts that have enabled us to offset a portion of the changes in our cash flow caused by fluctuations in price and basis differentials for our sales of oil, NGL and natural gas, as discussed in "Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk." See Notes 9, 10.a and 19.b to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional discussion of our commodity derivatives, including those entered into subsequent to June 30, 2020.
Our reserves as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are reported in three streams: oil, NGL and natural gas. As discussed in Note 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, the Realized Prices utilized to value our proved reserves as of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, are as follows:
June 30, 2020 June 30, 2019
Realized Prices:
   Oil ($/Bbl) $ 44.97    $ 55.69   
   NGL ($/Bbl) $ 7.66    $ 18.64   
   Natural gas ($/Mcf) $ 0.53    $ 0.70   
The Realized Prices used to estimate proved reserves do not include derivative transactions. The unamortized cost of evaluated oil and natural gas properties being depleted exceeded the full cost ceiling as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 and, as such, we recorded first and second-quarter non-cash full cost ceiling impairments of $177.2 million and $406.4 million, respectively. No such impairments were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2019. As more specifically addressed in "Low commodity price potential impact on our third-quarter 2020 and Remaining Year 2020 full cost ceiling impairment tests" below, if prices remain at or below the current levels, subject to numerous factors and inherent limitations, and all other factors remain constant, we could incur additional significant non-cash full cost ceiling impairments in the third quarter of 2020 and Remaining Year 2020 (defined below), which will have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for discussion of our full cost method of accounting.
Horizontal drilling of unconventional wells using enhanced completions techniques, including, but not limited to, hydraulic fracturing, is a relatively new process and, as such, forecasting the long-term production of such wells is inherently uncertain and subject to varying interpretations. As we receive and process geological and production data from these wells over time, we analyze such data to confirm whether previous assumptions regarding original forecasted production, inventory and reserves continue to appear accurate or require modification. While all production forecasts have elements of uncertainty over the life of the related wells, we have seen indications that the oil decline rates of tightly spaced wells may be steeper than originally anticipated. In 2019, we began drilling and completing wells at wider spacing to mitigate this effect in established acreage.
Initial production results, production decline rates, well density, completions design and operating method are examples of the numerous uncertainties and variables inherent in the estimation of proved reserves in future periods. The quantity of proved reserves is one of the many variables inherent in the calculation of depletion.
The following tables present our depletion expense for our evaluated oil and natural gas properties per BOE sold for the periods presented and corresponding changes:
Three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2019
2020 2019 Change ($) Change (%)
Depletion expense per BOE sold $ 7.39    $ 8.27    $ (0.88)   (11) %

Six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2019

Low commodity price potential impact on our third-quarter 2020 and Remaining Year 2020 full cost ceiling impairment tests
We use the full cost method of accounting for our oil and natural gas properties, with the full cost ceiling, as defined by the SEC, based principally on the estimated future net revenues from our proved oil, NGL and natural gas reserves, which exclude the effect of our commodity derivative transactions, discounted at 10% under required SEC guidelines for pricing methodology. We review the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties under the full cost accounting rules of the SEC on a quarterly basis. In the event the unamortized cost, or net book value, of evaluated oil and natural gas properties being depleted exceeds the full cost ceiling, the excess is expensed in the period such excess occurs. Once incurred, a write-down of evaluated oil and natural gas properties is not reversible.
If prices remain at or below the current levels, subject to numerous factors and inherent limitations, some of which are discussed below, and all other factors remain constant, we could incur substantial non-cash full cost ceiling impairments in third-quarter 2020 and Remaining Year 2020, which will have an adverse effect on our statement of operations.
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of proved reserves and accounting for oil and natural gas properties in future periods. In addition to unknown future commodity prices, other uncertainties include, but are not limited to (i) changes in drilling and completions costs, (ii) changes in oilfield service costs, (iii) production results, (iv) our ability, in a low price environment, to strategically drill the most economic locations in our multi-level horizontal targets, (v) government imposed curtailment of production, (vi) the potential to shut-in a portion or all of our wells, (vii) income tax impacts, (viii) potential recognition of additional proved undeveloped reserves, (ix) any potential value added to our proved reserves when testing recoverability from drilling unbooked locations, (x) revisions to production curves based on additional data and (xi) the inherent significant volatility in the commodity prices for oil, NGL and natural gas.
Each of the above factors is evaluated on a quarterly basis and if there is a material change in any factor it is incorporated into our reserves estimation utilized in our quarterly accounting estimates. We use our reserve estimates to evaluate, also on a quarterly basis, the reasonableness of our resource development plans for our reported proved reserves. Changes in circumstance, including commodity pricing, economic factors and the other uncertainties described above may lead to changes in our development plans.

Set forth below are calculations of potential future impairments of our evaluated oil and natural gas properties for the third-quarter 2020 and for the period of July 1 to December 31, 2020 ("Remaining Year 2020"). Such implied impairments should not be interpreted to be indicative of our development plan or of our actual future results. Each of the uncertainties noted above has been evaluated for material known trends to be potentially included in the estimation of possible third-quarter 2020 and Remaining Year 2020 effects. Based on such review, we determined that the impact of decreased commodity prices is the only significant known variable necessary in calculating the following scenario.
Our hypothetical third-quarter 2020 full cost ceiling calculation has been prepared by substituting (i) $41.29 per Bbl for oil, (ii) $7.34 per Bbl for NGL and (iii) $0.70 per Mcf for natural gas (collectively, the "Pro Forma Third-Quarter Prices") for the respective Realized Prices as of June 30, 2020. All other inputs and assumptions have been held constant. Accordingly, this estimation strictly isolates the estimated impact of low commodity prices on the third-quarter 2020 Realized Prices that will be utilized in our full cost ceiling calculation. The Pro Forma Third-Quarter Prices use a slightly modified Realized Price, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for oil, NGL and natural gas for the 10 months ended July 1, 2020 and holding the July 1, 2020 prices constant for the remaining eleventh and twelfth months of the calculation. Based solely on the substitution of the Pro Forma Third-Quarter Prices into our June 30, 2020 proved reserve estimates, the implied third-quarter 2020 impairment would be $100 million.
Our hypothetical Remaining Year 2020 full cost ceiling calculation has been prepared by substituting (i) $39.79 per Bbl for oil, (ii) $6.93 per Bbl for NGL and (iii) $0.80 per Mcf for natural gas (collectively, the "Pro Forma Remaining Year Prices") for the respective Realized Prices. All other inputs and assumptions have been held constant. Accordingly, this estimation strictly isolates the estimated impact of low commodity prices on the Remaining Year 2020 Realized Prices that will be utilized in our full cost ceiling calculation. The Pro Forma Remaining Year Prices use a slightly modified Realized Price, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for oil, NGL and natural gas for the seven months ended July 1, 2020 and using strip pricing as of July 20, 2020 for the remaining five months. Based solely on the substitution of the Pro Forma Remaining Year Prices into our June 30, 2020 proved reserve estimates, the implied Remaining Year 2020 impairment would be $145 million.
We believe that substituting these prices into our June 30, 2020 proved reserve estimates may help provide users with an understanding of the potential impact on our third-quarter 2020 and Remaining Year 2020 full cost ceiling tests.
See Note 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for prices used to value our reserves and additional discussion of our full cost impairments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
Core area of operations
The oil and liquids-rich Permian Basin is characterized by multiple target horizons, extensive production histories, long-lived reserves, high drilling success rates and high initial production rates. As of June 30, 2020, we had assembled 130,993 net acres in the Permian Basin.
Results of operations
Revenues
Sources of our revenue
Our revenues are derived from the sale of produced oil, NGL and natural gas, the sale of purchased oil and providing midstream services to third parties, all within the continental United States and do not include the effects of derivatives. Our oil, NGL and natural gas revenues may vary significantly from period to period as a result of changes in volumes of production, pricing differentials and/or changes in commodity prices. Our sales of purchased oil revenue may vary due to changes in oil prices, pricing differentials and the amount of volumes purchased. Our midstream service revenues may fluctuate and vary due to oil throughput fees and the level of services provided to third parties for (i) integrated oil and natural gas gathering and transportation systems and related facilities, (ii) natural gas lift, fuel for drilling and completions activities and centralized compression infrastructure and (iii) water storage, recycling and transportation infrastructure. See Notes 2.o and 13.b to our consolidated financial statements in our 2019 Annual Report for additional information regarding our revenue recognition policies.

Beginning in March 2020, we experienced significant decreases in oil, NGL and natural gas sales prices related to the OPEC+ caused price collapse and COVID-19 caused demand reduction. Oil sales prices have stabilized and recovered to some degree at the end of the second quarter of 2020, compared to the lows at the beginning of the second quarter, but are continuing to exhibit high volatility.

Oil sales revenue. Our oil sales revenue is a function of oil production volumes sold and average oil sales prices received for those volumes. The decrease in oil sales revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019 is due to a 57% decrease in average oil sales prices and was partially offset by a 3% increase in oil sales volumes. The decrease in oil sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019 is due to a 37% decrease in average oil sales prices and was partially offset by a 4% increase in oil sales volumes.
NGL sales revenue. Our NGL sales revenue is a function of NGL production volumes sold and average NGL sales prices received for those volumes. The decrease in NGL sales revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019 is due to a 52% decrease in average NGL sales prices and was partially offset by a 25% increase in NGL sales volumes. The decrease in NGL sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019 is due to a 62% decrease in average NGL sales prices and was partially offset by a 21% increase in NGL sales volumes.
Natural gas sales revenue. Our natural gas sales revenue is a function of natural gas production volumes sold and average natural gas sales prices received for those volumes. The increase in natural gas sales revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019 is due to a 455% increase in average natural gas sales prices and an 18% increase in natural gas sales volumes. The increase in natural gas sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019 is due to a 23% increase in natural gas sales volumes and was partially offset by a 10% decrease in average natural gas sales prices.

Midstream service revenues. Our midstream service revenues decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019. These revenues fluctuate and will vary due to oil throughput fees and the level of services provided to third parties.
Sales of purchased oil. Sales of purchased oil revenues are a function of the volumes and prices of purchased oil sold to customers and are offset by the volumes and costs of purchased oil. We are a firm shipper on both the Bridgetex and Gray Oak pipelines, the latter of which we began shipment on during fourth-quarter 2019, and we utilize purchased oil to fulfill portions of our commitments. We anticipate continuing this practice in the future.
We enter into purchase transactions with third parties and separate sale transactions. These transactions are presented on a gross basis as we act as the principal in the transaction by assuming control of the commodities purchased and the responsibility to deliver the commodities sold. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the purchaser/customer at the delivery point based on the price received. The transportation costs associated with these transactions are presented as a component of costs of purchased oil. See "—Costs and expenses - Costs of purchased oil."

(1)Selected average costs and expenses per BOE sold are based on actual amounts and are not calculated using the rounded numbers presented in the table above.
Lease operating expenses ("LOE"). LOE, which includes workover expenses, and LOE per BOE sold both decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019. We continue to focus on economic efficiencies associated with the usage and procurement of products and services related to LOE.
Production and ad valorem taxes. Production and ad valorem taxes decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019. Production taxes, which are established by federal, state or local taxing authorities, are based on and fluctuate in proportion to our oil, NGL and natural gas sales revenues. Ad valorem taxes are based on and fluctuate in proportion to the taxable value assessed by the various counties where our oil and natural gas properties are located.
Transportation and marketing expenses. Transportation and marketing expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019. We recognize transportation and marketing expenses incurred for the delivery of produced oil to customers in the U.S. Gulf Coast market via the Bridgetex pipeline and the Gray Oak pipeline. We began shipment on the Gray Oak pipeline during the fourth quarter of 2019. We plan to ship the majority of our produced oil to the U.S. Gulf Coast. Additionally, we recognized marketing expense due to negative natural gas prices in March 2020.
Midstream service expenses. Midstream service expenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019. Midstream service expenses are costs incurred to operate and maintain our (i) integrated oil and natural gas gathering and transportation systems and related
44

facilities, (ii) centralized oil storage tanks, (iii) natural gas lift, fuel for drilling and completions activities and centralized compression infrastructure and (iv) water storage, recycling and transportation facilities.
Costs of purchased oil. Costs of purchased oil decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019 due to a decrease in oil prices, partially offset by increased shipments on pipelines. Costs of purchased oil increased for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019 due to increased shipments on pipelines, partially offset by a decrease in oil prices. We are a firm shipper on both the Bridgetex and Gray Oak pipelines, the latter of which we began shipment on during fourth-quarter 2019, and we utilize purchased oil to fulfill portions of our commitments. While our long-haul transportation capacity on the Bridgetex pipeline and Gray Oak pipeline is expected to exceed our net production, consistent with our historic practice, we expect to continue to purchase third-party oil at the trading hubs to satisfy the deficit in our associated long-haul transportation commitments.
General and administrative ("G&A"). G&A, excluding employee compensation expense from our long-term incentive plan ("LTIP"), decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019 mainly due to decreases in employee-related costs as a result of the cumulative measures taken during second-quarter 2020 and 2019 to align our cost structure with operational activity, which included workforce reductions.
Cash LTIP expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, as these types of cash awards were not in place in second-quarter 2019. Non-cash expense increased for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019. Our organizational restructurings resulted in equity-based compensation expense, net reversals due to forfeitures during each of the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. In 2020, we took measures to decrease LTIP award compensation percentages across our remaining employee base. See Note 8 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for information regarding our equity-based compensation.
Organizational restructuring expenses. Organizational restructuring expenses are related to our workforce reductions and retirements in an effort to reduce costs and better position ourselves for the future in response to market conditions. We incurred $4.2 million and $10.4 million of one-time charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, comprised of compensation, taxes, professional fees, outplacement and insurance-related expenses. As of June 30, 2020, no additional organizational restructuring expenses are expected to be incurred. See Note 18 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further discussion of the organizational restructurings.
Depletion, depreciation and amortization ("DD&A"). The following tables present the components of our DD&A for the periods presented and corresponding changes:

Total DD&A $ 127,876    $ 128,801    $ (925)   (1) %
DD&A remained consistent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019. Depletion expense per BOE decreased by $0.88, or 11%, and by $1.15, or 14%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. We expect depletion expense to decrease as a result of full cost

impairments incurred during 2020. For further discussion of our depletion base and depletion expense per BOE, see Note 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and "—Pricing and reserves."
Impairment expense.  The following table presents the components of our impairment expense for the periods presented:
  Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30,

Line-fill and other inventories impairment expense —    —    1,334    —   
Total impairment expense $ 406,448    $ —    $ 593,147    $ —   
Our net book value of evaluated oil and natural gas properties exceeded the full cost ceiling as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, and, as a result, we recorded full cost ceiling impairments of $177.2 million and $406.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. There was no full cost ceiling impairment recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The full cost ceiling is based principally on the estimated future net revenues from proved oil, NGL and natural gas reserves, which exclude the effect of our commodity derivative transactions, discounted at 10%. The Realized Prices are utilized to calculate the estimated future net revenues in the full cost ceiling calculation. In the event the unamortized cost of evaluated oil and natural gas properties being depleted exceeds the full cost ceiling, as defined by the SEC, the excess is expensed in the period such excess occurs. Once incurred, a write-down of oil and natural gas properties is not reversible. With the continuing volatility in commodity prices, we may incur additional significant write-downs on our evaluated oil and natural gas properties. See Note 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and "—Pricing and reserves" for additional information regarding our full cost ceiling calculation.
Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. Impairment is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset. All inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value ("NRV"), with cost determined using the weighted-average cost method. For additional discussion of our long-lived assets and inventories, see Note 10.b to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Gain on derivatives, net $ 207,299    $ 40,029    $ 167,270    418  %
Non-cash gain (loss) on derivatives, net is the result of new, matured and early-terminated contracts, including contingent consideration derivatives for the period subsequent to the acquisition date and through the end of the contingency period, and the changing relationship between our outstanding contract prices and the future market prices in the forward curves, which we use to calculate the fair value of our derivatives. In general, if outstanding contracts are held constant, we experience gains during periods of decreasing market prices and losses during periods of increasing market prices. Settlements received or paid for matured derivatives are based on the settlement prices of our matured derivatives compared to the prices specified in the derivative contracts. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized significant non-cash losses and gains, respectively, in the net fair value of our derivatives outstanding due to increases and decreases, respectively, in the applicable futures curves that we have hedged. We entered into 2021 puts during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and paid $50.6 million in premiums to increase the put price received.
See Notes 9, 10.a and 19.b to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and "Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" for additional information regarding our derivatives.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019. These increases are mainly due to the issuance of our January 2025 Notes and January 2028 Notes and the extinguishment of our January 2022 Notes and March 2023 Notes, resulting in an increase in the carrying amount of long-term debt along with higher fixed interest rates. See Notes 6 and 19.a to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding our long-term debt.
Loss on extinguishment of debt. We recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt related to the difference between the consideration for tender offers, early tender premiums and redemption prices and the net carrying amounts of the extinguished January 2022 Notes and March 2023 Notes during the six months ended June 30, 2020. See Note 6.b to our

unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding the extinguishment of our January 2022 Notes and March 2023 Notes.
Gain (loss) on disposal of assets, net. Gain (loss) on disposal of assets, net, increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019. From time to time, we dispose of inventory, midstream service assets and other fixed assets. The associated gain or loss recorded during the period fluctuates depending upon the volume of the assets disposed, their associated net book value and, in the case of a disposal by sale, the sale price.
Write-off of debt issuance costs. We wrote-off $1.1 million of debt issuance costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of decreases in the borrowing base and aggregate elected commitment of the Senior Secured Credit Facility. There were no debt issuance costs written off during the comparable periods. See Note 6.d to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further discussion of our debt issuance costs.
Income tax benefit (expense)

Deferred $ 4,756    $ (1,655)   $ 6,411    387  %
We are subject to federal and state income taxes and the Texas franchise tax. The deferred income tax benefit (expense) for the periods presented is attributed to deferred Texas franchise tax. As of June 30, 2020, we determined it was more likely than not that our federal and Oklahoma net deferred tax assets were not realizable through future net income. As of June 30, 2020, a total valuation allowance of $404.5 million has been recorded to offset our federal and Oklahoma net deferred tax assets, resulting in a Texas net deferred tax asset of $2.3 million. The effective tax rate for our operations was 1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. For further discussion of our income taxes, see Note 16 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Liquidity and capital resources
In light of the recent world developments in 2020, we are closely monitoring our capital resources and business plans. Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, proceeds from equity offerings, proceeds from senior unsecured note offerings, borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and proceeds from asset dispositions. While we cannot predict the duration and negative impact of COVID-19 and OPEC+ actions on the energy industry, we believe our cash flows from operations, favorable hedges and availability under our Senior Secured Credit Facility provide sufficient liquidity to manage our cash needs and contractual obligations and to fund our expected capital expenditures. Our primary operational uses of capital have been for the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties and infrastructure development.
A significant portion of our capital expenditures can be adjusted and managed by us. We continually monitor the capital markets and our capital structure and consider which financing alternatives, including equity and debt capital resources, joint ventures and asset sales, are available to meet our future planned capital expenditures. We may make changes to our capital structure from time to time, with the goal of maintaining financial flexibility, preserving or improving liquidity and/or achieving cost efficiency. Such financing alternatives, including capital markets transactions and, from time to time, debt and equity repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. For further discussion of our financing activities related to debt instruments, see Note 6 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. We continuously look for other opportunities to maximize shareholder value.

Due to the inherent volatility in oil, NGL and natural gas prices and differences in the prices of oil, NGL and natural gas between where we produce and where we sell such commodities, we engage in commodity derivative transactions, such as puts, swaps, collars and basis swaps to hedge price risk associated with a portion of our anticipated sales volumes. Due to the inherent volatility in interest rates, we have entered into an interest rate derivative swap to hedge interest rate risk associated with a portion of our anticipated outstanding debt under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. We will pay a fixed rate over the contract term for that portion. By removing a portion of the (i) price volatility associated with future sales volumes and (ii) interest rate volatility associated with anticipated outstanding debt, we expect to mitigate, but not eliminate, the potential effects of variability in cash flows from operations. See "Part I. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" below.
See Notes 9.a, 9.b and 19.b to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for discussion of our (i) commodity hedge restructuring during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and corresponding summary of open commodity derivative positions as of June 30, 2020 for commodity derivatives that were entered into through June 30, 2020, (ii) interest rate derivative and (iii) summary of open Brent ICE swap positions as of June 30, 2020 updated for derivatives that were entered into through August 5, 2020, respectively.
We continually seek to maintain a financial profile that provides operational flexibility. As of June 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $15.7 million and available capacity under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, after the reduction for outstanding letters of credit, of $405.9 million, resulting in total liquidity of $421.6 million. As of August 4, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $21.0 million and available capacity under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, after the reduction for outstanding letters of credit, of $380.9 million, resulting in total liquidity of $401.9 million. We believe that our operating cash flows and the aforementioned liquidity sources provide us with the financial resources to manage our business needs, to implement our currently planned capital expenditure budget and, at our discretion, to fund any share repurchases, pay down, repurchase or refinance debt or adjust our planned capital expenditure budget.
Cash flows
The following table presents our cash flows for the periods presented and corresponding changes:
  Six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2019
(in thousands) 2020 2019 Change ($) Change (%)
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 171,562    $ 261,269    $ (89,707)   (34) %
Net cash used in investing activities (268,604)   (292,974)   24,370    %
Net cash provided by financing activities 71,932    42,354    29,578    70  %
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents $ (25,110)   $ 10,649    $ (35,759)   (336) %
Cash flows from operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. Notable cash changes include (i) an increase of $71.6 million in net settlements received for matured and early terminated derivatives, net of premiums paid, mainly due to decreases in commodity prices, (ii) a decrease in oil, NGL and natural gas sales revenues of $127.2 million, (iii) a decrease in non-recurring litigation proceeds of $42.5 million and (iv) an increase of $43.8 million due to net changes in operating assets and liabilities. Other contributing factors are increases for costs of purchased oil and transportation and marketing expenses. The decrease in oil, NGL and natural gas sales revenues is due to a 44% decrease in average sales price per BOE and was partially offset by a 15% increase in total volumes sold. For additional information, see "—Results of operations", "—Costs and expenses" and "—Non-operating income (expense)".
Our operating cash flows are sensitive to a number of variables, the most significant of which are the volatility of oil, NGL and natural gas prices, mitigated to the extent of our commodity derivatives' exposure, and sales volume levels. Regional and worldwide economic activity, weather, infrastructure, transportation capacity to reach markets, costs of operations, legislation and regulations, including potential government production curtailments, and other variable factors significantly impact the prices of these commodities. Recently, however, commodity prices have been most impacted by the effects of COVID-19 on demand and the effects of the OPEC+ actions and related transportation and storage constraints, particularly in the State of Texas, on supply. These factors are not within our control and are difficult to predict. For additional information on risks related to our business, see "Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors" included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and "Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2019 Annual Report.

Cash flows from investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, mainly due to a decrease in capital expenditures for oil and natural gas properties, partially offset by an increase in acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties. See Note 3 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in the Quarterly Report for additional discussion of our acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties.

Cash flows from financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. Notable cash changes include the issuance of our January 2025 Notes and January 2028 Notes, partially offset by the extinguishment of our January 2022 Notes and March 2023 Notes and payments and borrowings on our Senior Secured Credit Facility. For further discussion of our financing activities related to debt instruments, see Note 6 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Expected capital expenditures
We intend to operate within cash flow in 2020 (excluding non-budgeted acquisitions) and, therefore, our capital spending in 2020 will ultimately be influenced by commodity price changes, production levels and, among other factors, changes in service costs and drilling and completions efficiencies. In early 2020, the Company significantly reduced planned operational activities as commodity prices suffered from historic declines amid COVID-19 related demand destruction and OPEC+ pricing and supply decisions, dramatically reducing expected returns on capital investments. A subsequent increase in commodity prices, paired with service cost reductions, has driven expected returns on our Howard County acreage back to levels that support a resumption of activity and, beginning in September 2020, the Company plans to operate a completions crew in Howard County. We currently expect capital expenditures for 2020 to be approximately $340 million to $350 million. We are prepared to adjust our capital expenditures further if oil, NGL and natural gas prices continue to exhibit volatility. We do not have a specific acquisition budget since the timing and size of acquisitions cannot be accurately forecasted.

See Note 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding our costs incurred in the exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties.
The amount, timing and allocation of capital expenditures are largely discretionary and within management's control. If oil, NGL and natural gas prices are below our acceptable levels, or costs are above our acceptable levels, we may choose to defer a portion of our budgeted capital expenditures until later periods to achieve the desired balance between sources and uses of liquidity and prioritize capital projects that we believe have the highest expected returns and potential to generate near-term cash flow. Subject to financing alternatives, we may also increase our capital expenditures significantly to take advantage of opportunities we consider to be attractive. We continually monitor and may adjust our projected capital expenditures in response to world developments, such as those we are experiencing in 2020, as well as success or lack of success in drilling activities, changes in prices, availability of financing and joint venture opportunities, drilling and acquisition costs, industry conditions, the timing of regulatory approvals, the availability of rigs and supplies, changes in service costs, contractual obligations, internally generated cash flow and other factors both within and outside our control.
We are the borrower under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and a party to the indentures governing our Senior Unsecured Notes.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
As of June 30, 2020, the Senior Secured Credit Facility, which matures on April 19, 2023, had a maximum credit amount of $2.0 billion, a borrowing base and an aggregate elected commitment of $725.0 million each, with $275.0 million outstanding and was subject to an interest rate of 2.19%. Additionally, the Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for the issuance of letters of credit, limited to the lesser of total capacity or $80.0 million. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had one letter of credit outstanding of $44.1 million and $14.7 million, respectively, under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Senior Secured Credit Facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by LMS and GCM. On July 14, 2020, we borrowed $45.0 million on the Senior Secured Credit Facility. On July 31, 2020, we made a $20 million payment on the Senior Secured Credit Facility. As a result, the outstanding balance under the Senior Secured Credit Facility was $300.0 million as of August 4, 2020.
On August 5, 2020, we received a waiver from the lenders under our Senior Secured Credit Facility of certain representations and warranties relating to our March 31, 2020 quarterly results. Such representations and warranties were incorrect at the time they were given due to our previously disclosed accounting error. Additionally, due to the accounting error we were temporarily not in compliance with our financial reporting covenants. As of the filing of our Restated First Quarter Financials, we regained compliance with the financial reporting covenants under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and the waiver cured

the past defaults of our representations and warranties. The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains both financial and non-financial covenants, all of which we were in compliance with for all periods presented.
January 2025 Notes and January 2028 Notes
The following table presents principal amounts and applicable interest rates for our outstanding January 2025 Notes and January 2028 Notes (together the "Senior Unsecured Notes") as of June 30, 2020:
(in millions, except for interest rates) Principal Interest rate
January 2025 Notes $ 600.0    9.500  %
January 2028 Notes 400.0    10.125  %
Total Senior Unsecured Notes $ 1,000.0   
The net proceeds from the January 2025 Notes and January 2028 Notes were used to fund the tender offers and redemptions of the remaining principle amounts of the January 2022 Notes and March 2023 Notes. See Notes 6.a and 6.b to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further discussion of our Senior Unsecured Notes.
Supplemental Guarantor information
As discussed in Note 6.a to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, on January 24, 2020, we issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the January 2025 Notes and $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the January 2028 Notes. As of June 30, 2020, $1.0 billion of our Senior Unsecured Notes remained outstanding. Each of our wholly owned subsidiaries, LMS and GCM (each, a "Guarantor," and together, the "Guarantors"), jointly and severally, and fully and unconditionally, guarantees the January 2025 Notes and the January 2028 Notes. We do not have any non-guarantor subsidiaries.
The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of each Guarantor and rank equally in right of payment with other existing and future senior indebtedness of such Guarantor, and senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of such Guarantor. The guarantees of the Senior Unsecured Notes by the Guarantors are subject to certain Releases. The obligations of each Guarantor under its note guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent such note guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. Further, the rights of holders of the Senior Unsecured Notes against the Guarantors may be limited under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or state fraudulent transfer or conveyance law. Laredo is not restricted from making investments in the Guarantors and the Guarantors are not restricted from making intercompany distributions to Laredo or each other.
As we do not have any non-guarantor subsidiaries, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the combined issuer and Guarantors are not materially different than the corresponding amounts presented in our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Accordingly, we have omitted the summarized financial information of the issuer and the Guarantors that would otherwise be required.

____________________________________________________________________________
(1)Values presented include both our principal and interest obligations. The increase in such balance as of June 30, 2020 is due to (i) the issuance of our January 2025 Notes and January 2028 Notes, (ii) the extinguishment of our January 2022 Notes and March 2023 Notes and (iii) an increase in our interest rates as a result of such financing transactions. See Notes 6.a and 6.b to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional discussion of our Senior Unsecured Notes.
(2)We have committed to deliver, for sale or transportation, fixed volumes of product under certain contractual arrangements that specify the delivery of a fixed and determinable quantity. If not fulfilled, we are subject to firm transportation payments on excess pipeline capacity and other contractual penalties. The decrease in such commitments as of June 30, 2020 is mainly due to our fulfillment of contractual commitments, partially offset by changes to existing sales commitments. See Note 12.c to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional discussion of our firm sale and transportation commitments.
(3)This table does not include future loan advances, repayments, commitment fees or other fees on our Senior Secured Credit Facility as we cannot determine with accuracy the timing of such items. Additionally, this table does not include interest expense as it is a floating rate instrument and we cannot determine with accuracy the future interest rates to be charged. The decrease in such balance as of June 30, 2020 is due to our payments. As of June 30, 2020, the principal on our Senior Secured Credit Facility is due on April 19, 2023. See Note 19.a for our borrowing and payment on our Senior Secured Credit Facility subsequent to June 30, 2020.
(4)Amounts represent our asset retirement obligation liabilities. See Note 14 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional discussion of our asset retirement obligations.
(5)Amounts represent our minimum lease payments. The decrease in lease commitments as of June 30, 2020 is mainly due to settlements paid for our fulfillment of lease commitments, partially offset by a modification to an existing lease commitment. See Note 5 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional discussion of our leases.
(6)Amounts represent payments required for deferred premiums on our commodity derivative contracts. The decrease in premiums as of June 30, 2020 is due to premiums paid for commodity derivatives. All deferred premiums have settled as of June 30, 2020. See Note 10.a to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional discussion of our deferred premiums.
Non-GAAP financial measures
The non-GAAP financial measures of Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in conjunction with net income or loss and other performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as operating income or loss or cash flows from operating activities. Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures, such as net income or loss, operating income or loss or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance.

Table of Contents
Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, does not represent funds available for future discretionary use because it excludes funds required for future debt service, capital expenditures, acquisitions, working capital, income taxes, franchise taxes and other commitments and obligations. However, our management believes Free Cash Flow is useful to management and investors in evaluating operating trends in our business that are affected by production, commodity prices, operating costs and other related factors. There are significant limitations to the use of Free Cash Flow as a measure of performance, including the lack of comparability due to the different methods of calculating Free Cash Flow reported by different companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) to cash flows from operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities, net, less costs incurred, excluding non-budgeted acquisition costs, for the calculation of Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP) for the periods presented:

_____________________________________________________________________________
(1)Includes capitalized share-settled equity-based compensation and asset retirement costs.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income or loss plus adjustments for share-settled equity-based compensation, depletion, depreciation and amortization, impairment expense, mark-to-market on derivatives, premiums paid for commodity derivatives that matured during the period, accretion expense, gains or losses on disposal of assets, interest expense, income taxes and other non-recurring income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA provides no information regarding a company's capital structure, borrowings, interest costs, capital expenditures, working capital movement or tax position. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for future discretionary use because it excludes funds required for debt service, capital expenditures, working capital, income taxes, franchise taxes and other commitments and obligations. However, our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because this measure:
is widely used by investors in the oil and natural gas industry to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods, the book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors;
helps investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our capital structure from our operating structure; and
 is used by our management for various purposes, including as a measure of operating performance, in presentations to our board of directors and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.
54

Table of Contents
There are significant limitations to the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance, including the inability to analyze the effect of certain recurring and non-recurring items that materially affect our net income or loss and the lack of comparability of results of operations to different companies due to the different methods of calculating Adjusted EBITDA reported by different companies. Our measurements of Adjusted EBITDA for financial reporting as compared to compliance under our debt agreements differ.

Critical accounting policies and estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Certain accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions or if different assumptions had been used. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and procedures during the six months ended June 30, 2020. See our critical accounting policies in "Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of the 2019 Annual Report.

Off-balance sheet arrangements
Currently, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements other than our firm sale and transportation commitments, which are described in "—Obligations and commitments" and certain operating leases with a term less than or equal to 12 months. We have made an accounting policy election to not record the short-term operating leases on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. See Notes 5 and 12.c to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information on our leases and commitments and contingencies, respectively.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risk. The term "market risk," in our case, refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in oil, NGL and natural gas prices and in interest rates. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures. All of our market risk-sensitive derivative instruments were entered into for hedging purposes, rather than for speculative trading.
Oil, NGL and natural gas price exposure
Due to the inherent volatility in oil, NGL and natural gas prices and differences in the prices of oil, NGL and natural gas between where we produce and where we sell such commodities, we engage in commodity derivative transactions, such as puts, swaps, collars and basis swaps to hedge price risk associated with a portion of our anticipated sales volumes. By removing a portion of the price volatility associated with future sales volumes, we expect to mitigate, but not eliminate, the potential effects of variability in cash flows from operations.
The fair values of our open commodity and contingent consideration derivative positions are largely determined by the relevant forward commodity price curves of the indexes associated with our open positions. We had a $192.0 million total asset position from the net fair values of our open commodity derivatives and a $0.4 million liability position from the potential contingent consideration payments associated with asset acquisitions, each as of June 30, 2020. The following table provides a sensitivity analysis of the projected incremental effect on income (loss) before income taxes of a hypothetical 10% change in the relevant forward commodity price curves of the indexes associated with our open commodity and contingent consideration derivative positions as of June 30, 2020:
(in thousands) 10% Increase   10% Decrease
Commodity $ (54,051)   $ 56,370   
Contingent consideration (105)   90   
Total $ (54,156)   $ 56,460

See Notes 3.a and 3.b to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further discussion of our asset acquisitions associated with the potential contingent consideration payments.
Interest rate risk
Our Senior Secured Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate and our Notes bear interest at fixed rates. The maturity years, outstanding balances and interest rates on our long-term debt as of June 30, 2020 were as follows:
  Maturity year
(in millions except for interest rates) 2023 2025 Thereafter
January 2025 Notes $ —    $ 600.0    $ —   
Fixed interest rate —  % 9.500  % —  %
January 2028 Notes $ —    $ —    $ 400.0   
Fixed interest rate —  % —  % 10.125  %
Senior Secured Credit Facility $ 275.0    $ —    $ —   
Floating interest rate 2.188  % —  % —  %
Due to the inherent volatility in interest rates, we have entered into an interest rate derivative swap to hedge interest rate risk associated with a portion of our anticipated outstanding debt under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. We will pay a fixed rate over the contract term for that portion. By removing a portion of the interest rate volatility associated with anticipated outstanding debt, we expect to mitigate, but not eliminate, the potential effects of variability in cash flows from operations.

The fair value of our open interest rate derivative position is largely determined by the LIBOR interest rate forward curve associated with our open position.

See Notes 9 and 10.a to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further discussion of our interest rate derivative.
Counterparty and customer credit risk
We use commodity and interest rate derivatives to hedge our exposure to commodity prices and interest rate volatility, respectively. These transactions expose us to potential credit risk from our counterparties. We have entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements ("ISDA Agreements") with each of our commodity and interest rate derivative counterparties, each of whom is also a lender in our Senior Secured Credit Facility, which, together with hedge agreements with lenders under such facility, is secured by our oil, NGL and natural gas reserves; therefore, we are not required to post any additional collateral. We do not require collateral from our commodity and interest rate derivative counterparties. The terms of the ISDA Agreements provide the non-defaulting or non-affected party the right to terminate the agreement upon the occurrence of certain events of default and termination events by a party and also provide for the marking to market of outstanding positions and the offset of the mark to market amounts owed to and by the parties (and in certain cases, the affiliates of the non-defaulting or non-affected party) upon termination; therefore, the credit risk associated with our commodity and interest rate derivative counterparties is somewhat mitigated. We minimize the credit risk in commodity and interest rate derivatives by: (i) limiting our exposure to any single counterparty, (ii) entering into commodity and interest rate derivatives only with counterparties that meet our minimum credit quality standard or have a guarantee from an affiliate that meets our minimum credit quality standard and (iii) monitoring the creditworthiness of our counterparties on an ongoing basis. We had a $192.0 million and $75.3 million total asset position from the net fair values of our open commodity contracts as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. See Notes 9, 10.a and 19.b to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for discussion of our commodity and interest rate derivatives.

We typically sell production to a relatively limited number of customers, as is customary in the exploration, development and production business. Our sales of purchased oil are generally made to one to two customers. Our joint operations accounts receivable are from a number of oil and natural gas companies, partnerships, individuals and others who own interests in the oil and natural gas properties operated by us.
The majority of our accounts receivable are unsecured. On occasion we require our customers to post collateral. We routinely assess the recoverability of all material trade and other receivables to determine collectability. As the operator of the majority of our wells, we have the ability to realize some or all of our joint operations account receivables through the netting of revenues. Management believes that any credit risk imposed by a concentration in the oil and natural gas industry is offset by the creditworthiness of our customer base and industry partners.
In the current market environment, we believe that the inability or failure of any one of our major purchasers to meet its obligations to us or its insolvency or liquidation would have an adverse effect on our financial condition and potentially our results of operations.
See Notes 2.e and 14 in the 2019 Annual Report for discussion of our accounts receivable and credit risk, respectively. See Note 15 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for discussion of revenue recognition.

Customer performance risk
As a result of multiple factors affecting levels of supply and demand in global oil and gas markets, storage constraints created by excess oil supply in both domestic and international markets and the COVID-19 pandemic have created a risk that our customers will not be able to physically take possession of our oil. In the current market environment, we believe that the inability or failure of any one of our major customers to physically take possession of our oil would have an adverse effect on our financial condition and potentially our results of operations.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Laredo's 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 Laredo's management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers. Based on that evaluation, these officers concluded that Laredo's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2020 due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below.
Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, Laredo's management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers have determined, based on the procedures we have performed, that the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 in accordance with GAAP.
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A material weakness (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. 
Subsequent to June 30, 2020, we identified deficiencies that represented a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2020 with respect to the design and maintenance of controls over the determination of the estimated present value ("PV-10") of our reserves. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls to sufficiently review the completeness and accuracy of the future production costs component of the estimated PV-10 of our reserves and, thus, failed to identify the omission of the transportation costs from the future costs required to develop certain of our reserves. These deficiencies had the effect of causing an overstatement of approximately $160 million in the estimated PV-10 of our reserves as of March 31, 2020, which caused an understatement in our full cost ceiling impairment expense and related adjustments for the quarter. An amendment was filed to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 to correct the error and restate the financial statements for the first quarter of 2020 included in such report.
Remediation Plan
As part of our commitment to strengthening our internal control over financial reporting, we are implementing remedial actions under the oversight of the Audit Committee of our board of directors to address these deficiencies, including:
implementation of additional (or enhanced) procedures to verify the completeness and accuracy of data inputs into the reserves application for pricing and operating expenses;
implementation of additional (or enhanced) procedures to perform enhanced detailed reviews of reserves report components, including (but not necessarily limited to) pricing and operating expenses; and
revision and communication of the accounting controls, policies and procedures relating to identifying and assessing    changes that could potentially impact the system of internal control governing the full cost ceiling test calculation.
We will continue to monitor the design and effectiveness of these and other processes, procedures, policies and controls and make any further changes management determines appropriate. We believe the control improvements described above will remediate the material weakness that management has identified. However, this material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate effectively for a sufficient period of time.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except for changes we are making in connection with the implementation of the remediation plan described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are subject to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings for which we may not have insurance coverage. While many of these matters involve inherent uncertainty as of the date hereof, we do not currently believe that any such legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Item 1A.    Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the risks discussed in our 2019 Annual Report and Amendment No. 1 to our first-quarter 2020 Quarterly Report. The risks described in such reports are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
Risks related to our business
As a result of the volatility in prices for oil, NGL and natural gas, we have taken and may be required to take further write-downs of the carrying value of our properties.
Accounting rules require that we periodically review the carrying value of our properties for possible impairment. Based on prevailing commodity prices and specific market factors and circumstances at the time of prospective impairment reviews, and the continuing evaluation of development plans, production data, economics and other factors, we have been required to, and may be required to further, write down the carrying value of our properties. A write-down constitutes a non-cash charge to earnings.
Our unamortized cost of evaluated oil and natural gas properties being depleted exceeded the full cost ceiling as of June 30, 2020 and, as such, we recorded a non-cash full cost ceiling impairment of $406.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. We recorded a non-cash full cost ceiling impairment of $177.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and $620.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. No such impairments were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2018 or 2017. If prices remain at or below the current levels, subject to numerous factors and inherent limitations, and all other factors remain constant, we will incur an additional non-cash full cost ceiling impairment in the third quarter of 2020 and Remaining Year 2020, which will have an adverse effect on our statement of operations. See "Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Pricing and reserves—Low commodity price potential impact on our third-quarter 2020 and Remaining Year 2020 full cost ceiling impairment tests" and Note 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for discussion of our full cost method of accounting.
Our business and operations have been and will likely continue to be adversely affected by the recent COVID-19 pandemic and responses.
The spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus caused, and is continuing to cause, severe disruptions in the worldwide and U.S. economy, including the global and domestic decreased demand for oil and natural gas, which has had an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, since the beginning of January 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruption in the financial markets both globally and in the United States. The continued spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus could also negatively impact the availability of key personnel and adequate staffing for field operations necessary to conduct our business. If the COVID-19 coronavirus continues to spread or the response to contain the COVID-19 pandemic is unsuccessful, we could continue to experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a result of multiple factors affecting levels of supply and demand in global oil and gas markets, storage constraints created by excess oil supply in both domestic and international markets and the COVID-19 pandemic have created a risk that our customers will not be able to physically take possession of our oil. In the current market environment, we believe that the inability or failure of any one of our major customers to physically take possession of our oil would have an adverse effect on our financial condition and potentially our results of operations.
62


Due to the rapid development and fluidity of this situation, we cannot make any prediction as to the ultimate material adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The sharp decline in oil and natural gas prices and continued volatility in the oil and natural gas markets have negatively impacted, and are likely to continue to negatively impact, our exploration and production activities and, as a result, our financial condition and results of operations.
Oil prices have declined sharply since March 2020 as a result of multiple factors affecting levels of supply and demand in global oil and gas markets, including the announcement of price reductions and production increases by OPEC+ as well as pipeline capacity and storage constraints created by excess oil supply in the Permian Basin and the COVID-19 pandemic. Oil and natural gas prices are expected to continue to be volatile as a result of the extent and duration of global production increases, the lack of storage capacity in Texas and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and as changes in oil and natural gas inventories, production curtailments, decreased industry demand and negative national and global economic performance are reported, and we cannot predict when prices will improve and stabilize.
Worldwide and U.S. political and economic developments, including the outcome of the U.S. presidential and congressional elections and resulting energy, monetary, trade and environmental policies, and military events, as well as natural disasters and global or national health pandemics, such as COVID-19, including the challenges to the health and safety of our employees, epidemics or concerns and other factors beyond our control contribute to oil and natural gas price levels and volatility and are likely to continue to do so in the future. Current levels in the price of oil, NGL and natural gas, as well as ongoing volatility, have had an adverse impact on the level of our budgeted capital expenditures, drilling and exploration and production activity and may force us to shut-in production of a portion or all of our wells that require significant costs to restart, which could continue to materially and adversely affect us, and we cannot predict the ultimate impact of this situation on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The duration and extent to which the COVID-19 crisis and oil price volatility adversely affects our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by oil producing countries, governmental authorities and other third parties in response. Current levels in the price of oil, NGL and natural gas, as well as ongoing volatility, have also had an adverse impact on both the level at which we are able to hedge our anticipated production and the cost, whether in terms of premiums for puts or foregone upside for collars, of such hedging which could continue to materially and adversely affect us, and we cannot predict the ultimate impact of this situation on, business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to remediate this material weakness or otherwise fail to develop, implement and maintain effective internal controls in future periods, our ability to report our financial condition and results of operations accurately and on a timely basis could be adversely affected.
We have identified a material weakness in our internal controls over the completeness and accuracy of the estimated PV-10 of our reserves. Accordingly, based on our management’s assessment, we concluded that, as of June 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. We also determined that this material weakness existed as of March 31, 2020.
A "material weakness" is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We cannot assure you that we will adequately remediate the material weakness or that additional material weaknesses in our internal controls will not be identified in the future. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Any failure to maintain or implement required new or improved controls, or any difficulties we encounter in the implementation, could result in additional material weaknesses, or could result in material misstatements in our financial statements. These misstatements could result in restatements of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information.
We are in the process of remediating the identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, but we are unable at this time to estimate when the remediation will be completed. If we fail to remediate this material weakness, there will continue to be an increased risk that our future financial statements could contain errors that will be undetected. Further and continued determinations that there are material weaknesses in the effectiveness of our internal controls could reduce our ability to obtain financing or could increase the cost of any financing we obtain and require additional
63


expenditures of resources to comply with applicable requirements. See “Item 4. Controls and Procedures” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of the material weakness and our remediation plans.


64


Risk relating to our common stock
We cannot assure you that there will be a continued increase in our stock price or an increase in our marketability and liquidity following the reverse stock split.
Following implementation of the reverse stock split, there was an increase to the market price of our common stock, but there can be no assurance that an increase will continue or a decline will not occur. Some investors may view a reverse stock split negatively. We cannot assure you that our common stock will be more attractive to institutional or other long-term investors or that it will attract brokers and investors who trade in lower-priced stocks. The market price and liquidity of our common stock may decrease due to other factors, including the oil and gas market and our future performance. The percentage market price decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of the reverse stock split. In addition, the reverse stock split increased the number of our stockholders who own "odd lots" of fewer than 100 shares of common stock. Brokerage commission and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally higher than the costs of transactions of more than 100 shares of common stock. Accordingly, the reverse stock split may not achieve the desired results of a continued increase in our stock price, or an increase in our marketability and liquidity of our common stock, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

CERTIFICATION
I, Jason Pigott, certify that:
1.I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Laredo Petroleum, Inc.;
2.Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;
