SEGMENT INFORMATION

SEGMENT INFORMATION

As of December 31, 2024, the Company is managed on a consolidated basis as one operating segment and one reportable segment: the upstream segment, which is engaged in the acquisition, development, exploration and exploitation of unconventional, onshore oil and natural gas reserves primarily in the Permian Basin in West Texas. This singular operating and reportable segment is comprised of (i) the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and (ii) Viper and its consolidated subsidiaries, which have been aggregated due to the similarity in their economic characteristics, products and services, processes, type of customers, method of distribution for their products and the regulatory environment in which they operate. The upstream segment derives its revenue from customers through the sale of oil and natural gas products as well as other immaterial service contracts. See Note 3—Revenue from Contracts with Customers for further discussion of the Company’s sources of revenue.

The Company’s CODM is a senior executive committee that is comprised of the Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses the Company’s consolidated financial results to make key operating decisions, assess performance and to allocate resources. The measures of segment profit or loss and total assets utilized by the CODM are net income and total assets as reported on the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated balance sheets, respectively. The significant expense categories, their amounts and other segment items that are regularly provided to the CODM are those that are reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations as well as interest income and interest expense in Note 9—Debt.

The CODM uses consolidated net income as a measure of profitability to evaluate segment performance and to make capital allocation decisions such as reinvestment in the business or return of capital through the payment of base and variable dividends or repurchases under the share repurchase program.
