	Board of Directors and Members
	Titus Oil & Gas Production, LLC and Titus Oil & Gas Production II, LLC
	Opinion
	We have audited the accompanying statements of revenues and direct operating expenses associated with certain oil and gas properties acquired by Earthstone Energy, Inc. from Titus Oil & Gas Production, LLC, Titus Oil & Gas Production II, LLC and their affiliates (the “Titus Properties” as described in Note 1), for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the related notes to the statements. In our opinion, the accompanying statements present fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and direct operating expenses of the Titus Properties for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
	Basis for opinion
	We conducted our audits of the statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Titus Oil & Gas Production, LLC, Titus Oil & Gas Production II, LLC and their affiliates and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
	Emphasis of matter
	As described in Note 1, the accompanying statements were prepared for purposes of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the financial position and operations of the properties. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
	Responsibilities of management for the statements
	Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

GT.COM Grant Thornton LLP is the U.S. member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd (GTIL). GTIL and each of its member firms
are separate legal entities and are not a worldwide partnership.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:

•Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

•Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the statements.

•Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

•Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the statements.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding,
among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit
findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On June 27, 2022 Earthstone Energy Holdings LLC (“EEH”), a subsidiary of Earthstone Energy Inc. (“Earthstone”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire from Titus Oil & Gas Production, LLC, Titus Oil & Gas Production II, LLC and their affiliates (collectively “Titus”) its operated and non-operated well bore interest, related proved reserves and associated well equipment and infrastructure in the Delaware Basin of New Mexico (the “Titus Properties”). The total consideration for the Properties was approximately $627 million, subject to post-closing adjustments which reflect an effective date of August 1, 2022 and a closing date of August 10, 2022. The consideration is comprised of $575 million in cash and 3.9 million shares of Earthstone’s Class A common stock.

The acquired assets were less than substantially all of the key operating assets of Titus during the presented periods. Accordingly, complete financial statements under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) are not available, or practicable to obtain for the Titus Properties. The accompanying Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses are not intended to be a complete presentation of the results of operations of the Titus Properties and may not be representative of future operations as they do not include general and administrative expenses, interest income or expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairments, income taxes or other income and expense items not directly associated with revenues from oil and natural gas. The accompanying Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses are presented in lieu of the full financial statements required under Rule 8-04 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses in conformity with GAAP required management to make various assumptions, judgements and estimates to determine the reported amounts of revenues and direct operating expenses of the Titus Properties for the periods reported. Changes in these assumptions, judgements and estimates will occur due to the passage of time and occurrence of future events. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from amounts previously established.

Revenue Recognition

Titus recognizes oil and natural gas revenues when title to the product transfers to the purchaser. Performance obligations under Titus’ oil contracts are generally considered satisfied when Titus sells oil production at the wellhead and receives an agreed-upon index price, net of any price differentials. Titus recognizes revenue when control transfers to the purchaser at the wellhead based on the net price received. Titus evaluated whether it was the principal or the agent in gas processing transactions and concluded that it is the principal when it has the ability to take-in-kind. Titus recognizes revenue on a net basis.

Most of Titus’ product sale commitments are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. Titus typically satisfies its performance obligations upon transfer of control as described above and records the related revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser. Settlement statements for sales of oil and natural gas may not be received for 30 to 60 days after the date the volumes are delivered, and as a result, Titus is required to estimate the amount of volumes delivered to the purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. Titus records the differences between estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. Historically, differences between Titus’ revenue estimates and actual revenue received have not been significant.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Direct Operating Expenses

Titus recognizes direct operating expenses when incurred and include amounts required to operate the wells to produce, gather, transport, process and treat oil and natural gas. Direct operating expenses also include production and ad valorem taxes.

3. CONTINGENCIES

The activities of the Titus Properties may become subject to potential claims and litigation in the normal course of operations. Management does not believe that any liability resulting from any pending or threatened litigation will have a material adverse effect on the operations or financial results of the acquired Properties.

4. EXCLUDED EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses, interest expense, income taxes and other indirect expenses have not been allocated to the Titus Properties and as such, have been excluded from the accompanying Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense has also been excluded from the accompanying Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses. Any allocation of such indirect expenses may not be indicative of costs which would have been incurred on a stand-alone basis.

5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events have been evaluated through July 29, 2022, the date the accompanying Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses were available to be issued. There were no material subsequent events that require recognition or additional disclosure in the accompanying Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses.

6. UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTARY OIL AND GAS DISCLOSURES

The following unaudited supplemental reserve information summarizes the net proved reserves of oil and gas and the standardized measure for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 attributable to the Titus Properties. The reserve disclosures are based on reserve studies prepared in accordance with the guidelines established by the SEC. Our petroleum engineers and independent petroleum engineering firm estimated substantially all of our proved reserves as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of hydrocarbons which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible - from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations - prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined.

6. UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTARY OIL AND GAS DISCLOSURES (continued)

In accordance with SEC guidelines, the engineers’ estimates of future net revenues from proved properties and the present value thereof for years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are made using the twelve-month average of the first-day-of-the-month reference prices as adjusted for location and quality differentials. These prices are held constant throughout the life of the properties, except where such guidelines permit alternate treatment. The realized sales prices used in the reserve reports as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $67.28 and $38.37 per barrel of oil, respectively, $36.45 and $11.07 per barrel of NGL, respectively, and $3.42 and $1.76 per MCF of gas, respectively.

The following table sets forth certain data pertaining to the Titus Properties proved reserves for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Titus operates as a limited liability company, and as such it operates as a disregarded entity for income tax reporting purposes. Any tax liability that arises is passed on to the partners based on their capital interest in the company. Therefore, future tax liabilities are not contemplated in the calculation of future net cash flows.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On June 27, 2022 Earthstone Energy Holdings LLC (“EEH”), a subsidiary of Earthstone Energy Inc. (“Earthstone”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire from Titus Oil & Gas Production, LLC, Titus Oil & Gas Production II, LLC and their affiliates (collectively “Titus”) its operated and non-operated well bore interest, related proved reserves and associated well equipment and infrastructure in the Delaware Basin of New Mexico (the “Titus Properties”). The total consideration for the Properties was approximately $627 million, subject to post-closing adjustments which reflect an effective date of August 1, 2022 and a closing date of August 10, 2022. The consideration is comprised of $575 million in cash and 3.9 million shares of Earthstone’s Class A common stock.

The acquired assets were less than substantially all of the key operating assets of Titus during the presented periods. Accordingly, complete financial statements under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) are not available, or practicable to obtain for the Titus Properties.

Titus records the differences between estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. Historically, differences between Titus’ revenue estimates and actual revenue received have not been significant.

EARTHSTONE ENERGY, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Note 1.Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”) were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by SEC Final Rule Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses, and based on the historical consolidated and combined financial information of Earthstone, Independence, Tracker, Sequel, Chisholm, Bighorn and Titus. The Titus Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, with Earthstone identified as the acquirer. The preliminary allocation of the total purchase price in the Titus Acquisition is based upon management’s estimates of and assumptions related to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Presented in the Pro Forma Financial Statements are the combined impact of the Independence Acquisition, Tracker Acquisition, Sequel Acquisition, Chisholm Acquisition, Bighorn Acquisition and Titus Acquisition (the “Acquisitions”). The Tracker Acquisition, Sequel Acquisition, and Bighorn Acquisition were accounted for as asset acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805 and the Independence Acquisition, Chisholm Acquisition and Titus Acquisition were accounted for as business combinations in accordance with ASC 805. Certain transaction accounting adjustments have been made in order to show the effects of the Acquisitions in the Pro Forma Financial Statements. The accounting adjustments related to the Titus Acquisition are preliminary and based on estimates of the purchase consideration and estimates of fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The accounting adjustments are described in the accompanying notes and are based on available information and certain assumptions that Earthstone believes are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from those reflected in these statements. The Pro Forma Financial Statements do not purport to represent what Earthstone’s financial position or results of operations would have been if the Acquisitions had occurred on the dates described in the Pro Forma Financial Statements, and they may not be indicative of Earthstone’s future financial position or results of operations. Certain information normally included in financial statements and the accompanying notes has been condensed or omitted. The Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes of Earthstone, Independence, Tracker, Sequel, Chisholm, Bighorn and Titus for the periods presented.

The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 gives effect to the Titus Acquisition as if it had been completed on June 30, 2022. The pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 gives effect to the Chisholm Acquisition, Bighorn Acquisition and Titus Acquisition as if they had been completed on January 1, 2021. The pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 gives effect to the Acquisitions as if they had been completed on January 1, 2021.

Note 2. Accounting Policies and Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 have been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by Earthstone. Certain reclassifications and adjustments have been made to the historical financial information of Independence, Tracker, Sequel, Chisholm, Bighorn and Titus presented herein to conform to Earthstone’s historical presentation.

Note 3. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The preliminary allocation of the total purchase price in the Titus Acquisition is based upon management’s estimates of and assumptions related to the fair value of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed as of the closing date of the transaction using currently available information. Because the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final purchase price allocation and the resulting effect on financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts included herein.

11

The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change due to several factors, including but not limited to changes in the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date of the transaction, which could result from changes in future oil and natural gas commodity prices, reserve estimates, interest rates, as well as other factors.

The consideration transferred, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by Earthstone were initially recorded as follows (in thousands, except share amounts and stock price):

Consideration:
Shares of Earthstone Class A Common Stock issued	3,857,015
Earthstone Class A Common Stock price as of August 10, 2022	$	13.89
Class A Common Stock consideration	53,574
Cash consideration (1)	575,851
Total consideration transferred	$	629,425
Fair value of assets acquired:
Oil and gas properties	$	633,193
Amount attributable to assets acquired	$	633,193
Fair value of liabilities assumed:
Current liabilities	$	2,854
Noncurrent liabilities - ARO	914
Amount attributable to liabilities assumed	$	3,768

(1)Includes preliminary customary purchase price adjustments.

The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. The fair value of oil and gas properties and asset retirement obligations were measured using the discounted cash flow technique of valuation.

Significant inputs to the valuation of oil and gas properties include estimates of: (i) reserves, (ii) future operating and development costs, (iii) future commodity prices, (iv) future plugging and abandonment costs, (v) estimated future cash flows, and (vi) a market-based weighted average cost of capital rate. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates and are the most sensitive and subject to change.

Note 4. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet and Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations

The following adjustments were made in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021:

(a)Adjustment to reflect deferred financing costs related to Earthstone's revolving credit facility to be recorded in connection with the Titus Acquisition.

(b)Adjustment to reflect the Titus Assets acquired at their estimated fair value in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations.

(c)Represents estimated nonrecurring transaction costs that are expected to be incurred by Earthstone, including advisory, legal, regulatory, accounting, valuation and other professional fees that are not capitalized as part of the Acquisitions. These transaction costs are based on preliminary estimates and the final amounts and the resulting effect on Earthstone’s financial position and results of operations may differ significantly.

(d)Adjustment to remove the $40.0 million deposit related to the Titus Acquisition which would have been applied to the purchase price had the transaction occurred on June 30, 2022.

12

(e)Adjustment to reflect deferred financing costs associated with a $250.0 million term loan drawn to finance a portion of the cash consideration related to the Titus Acquisition.

(f)Adjustment to reflect current liabilities assumed in accordance with the terms of the Titus Acquisition agreement.

(g)Adjustment to reflect new borrowings related to the cash consideration used in the Titus Acquisition.

(h)Adjustment to reflect the $250.0 million term loan drawn to finance a portion of the cash consideration related to the Titus Acquisition.

(i)Adjustment to reflect asset retirement obligation liabilities incurred at their estimated fair value in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations.

(j)Adjustment to reflect the issuance of 3,857,015 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Titus Acquisition agreement.

(k)Adjustments to reflect the depreciation, depletion and amortization expense that would have been recorded had the Acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2021 and the properties were adjusted in accordance with ASC 805.

(l)Represents nonrecurring transaction costs related to the Acquisitions that were incurred, or are expected to be incurred, by Earthstone in 2022 that are assumed to be incurred on January 1, 2021, including advisory, legal, regulatory, accounting, valuation and other professional fees that are not capitalized as part of the Acquisitions.

(m)Adjustments to reflect the estimated interest expense that would have been recorded in the periods presented with respect to the incremental borrowings expected to finance the cash consideration for the Acquisitions.

(n)Adjustments to reflect the amortization of deferred financing costs related to the financing of the Acquisitions.

(o)Adjustments to reflect the estimated incremental Income tax expense that would have been recorded in the period presented if the Acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2021. The income tax rates used in estimating the tax impact of the adjustments recorded to the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations presented herein included a statutory federal income tax rate of 21%, a statutory Texas Margin tax rate of 0.75%, and a statutory New Mexico income tax rate of 5.9%, which represent the statutory rates in effect in those jurisdictions during the periods presented. The effective federal and New Mexico tax rates are less than the statutory rates as they only apply to taxable income related to the controlling interest of Earthstone.

(p)Adjustments to reflect the estimated incremental Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests that would have been recorded in the period presented if the Acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2021.

(q)Adjustment to reflect certain reclassifications of historical line items to conform financial statement presentations.

(r)Adjustment to reverse the historical asset impairments because, based on the purchase price contemplated by the Acquisitions, no impairments would have been recorded.

(s)Adjustment to reverse the historical reorganization items as no such items would have been recorded had the Acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2021.
