NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 2024

Note 1 — Organization, Business Operations, and Going Concern

Organization and General

Sable Offshore Corp. ("Sable," the “Company” or "we") (formerly known as Flame Acquisition Corp. or "Flame") is an independent oil and gas company headquartered in Houston, Texas. Flame was initially formed as a special purpose acquisition company for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On November 2, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of November 2, 2022 (as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), with Sable Offshore Corp., a Texas corporation (“SOC”), and Sable Offshore Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the parent company of SOC (“Holdco” and, together with SOC, “Sable”). Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) between Sable, Flame, and Sable Offshore Holdings LLC (“Holdco”), on February 14, 2024, (i) Holdco merged with and into Flame, with Flame surviving such merger (the “Holdco Merger”) and (ii) Sable merged with and into Flame, with Flame surviving such merger (the “SOC Merger” and, together with the Holdco Merger, the “Mergers” and, along with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Merger”).

On November 1, 2022 (as amended on June 13, 2023 and December 15, 2023), Sable Offshore Corp., a Texas corporation ("Legacy Sable"), entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the "Sable-EM Purchase Agreement") with Exxon Mobil Corporation ("Exxon") and Mobil Pacific Pipeline Company ("MPPC," and together with Exxon, "EM") pursuant to which Legacy Sable agreed to acquire from EM certain assets constituting the Santa Ynez field in Federal waters offshore California ("SYU") and associated onshore processing and pipeline assets (such “Assets,” as defined in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement, collectively the “SYU Assets”).

On February 14, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the Merger and related transactions (the "Business Combination") contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), following which Flame was renamed “Sable Offshore Corp.”. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement, the transactions contemplated by the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement were also consummated on February 14, 2024 ("Sable-EM Closing Date"), immediately after the Business Combination, as a result of which Sable purchased the SYU Assets, effective as of January 1, 2022. On February 15, 2024, Sable’s shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants”) began trading on NYSE under the symbols, “SOC” and “SOC.WS,” respectively (refer toNote 3 — Acquisitionfor additional details).

On February 14, 2024, immediately following the Closing, the Company issued 44,024,910 shares of Common Stock of the Company, at a price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate PIPE Investment (as defined below) of $440,249,100 in accordance with the terms of the PIPE Subscription Agreements (as defined below). The shares of Common Stock issued in the PIPE Investments were offered in a private placement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements.

Unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise requires, references to (i) the “Company,” “Sable,” “we, “us,” or “our” are to Sable Offshore Corp., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries, following the Business Combination, (ii) “Flame” refers to Flame Acquisition Corp. prior to the Business Combination, and (iii) the “Pipelines” are to Pipeline Segments 324/325 (formally known as Pipeline Segments 901/903) and the other “324/325 Assets” (formally known as "901/903 Assets" and as defined in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement).

For the purposes of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, periods on or before February 13, 2024 reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of SYU prior to the Business Combination, referred to herein as the “Predecessor,” and periods beginning on or after February 14, 2024 reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as a result of the Business Combination, referred to herein as the “Successor”.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced losses from operations and has negative cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2024, the Successor reported unrestricted cash of $112.1 million and an accumulated deficit of $426.6 million. The Company expects to continue to incur losses until we can restart production of the SYU Assets.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into subscription agreements ("PIPE Subscription Agreements") with certain investors for an aggregate commitment ("PIPE Investment") amount of approximately $440.0 million, pursuant to which such investors agreed to purchase an aggregate of approximately 44.0 million shares of common stock of the Company, par value of $0.0001 per share, at a price of $10.00 per share upon the consummation of the Business Combination. On February 14, 2024, immediately following the Closing Date, the Company issued 44,024,910 shares of Common Stock of the Company, at a price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate PIPE Investment of gross proceeds of $440.2 million in accordance with the terms of the PIPE Subscription Agreements. Following the Closing Date and through June 30, 2024, management has addressed near-term capital funding needs with the PIPE capital raise and the consummation of the Business Combination and believes the Company has sufficient capital to maintain operations and complete the repairs necessary to restart production of the SYU Assets. However, the Company’s plans for production restart are contingent upon approvals from federal, state and local regulators. Additionally, if the Company’s estimates of the costs of restarting production are less than the actual amounts necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to first production and will need to raise additional capital. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, among other things, suspending repair efforts and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

Due to the remaining regulatory approvals necessary to restart production, along with the timing of ongoing construction repair efforts, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements included in this Quarterly Report do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that could be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023 as Section 4501 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Stock Buyback Tax"). The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from whom shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases made during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

The Company has accrued an excise tax payable of $2.3 million relating to redemptions of common stock prior to the Business Combination, which is recorded as a liability on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 (Successor).

On June 28, 2024, the U.S. Treasury issued regulations (the "Final Procedural Regulations") finalizing proposed rules regarding the reporting and payment of the non-deductible 1% Stock Buyback Tax. Under the Final Procedural Regulations, the deadline for reporting, and paying, the Stock Buyback Tax for taxable years ending after December 31, 2022, and on or before June 28, 2024, is October 31, 2024.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Flame was initially formed as a special purpose acquisition company for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On February 14, 2024, Flame completed the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement, with Flame surviving the transactions and changing its name to Sable Offshore Corp. thereafter. The Company was deemed the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations, with such transactions being accounted for as a forward merger, and SYU was deemed the Predecessor entity for accounting purposes.

As a result of the Business Combination, the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Predecessor and Successor are not directly comparable. Since SYU was deemed to be the Predecessor entity, the historical financial statements of SYU became the historical financial statements of the combined Company, upon the consummation of the Business Combination. As a result, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of SYU prior to the Business Combination and (ii) the combined results of the Company, including SYU, following the Closing Date. The accompanying financial statements include a Predecessor period, which includes the period through February 13, 2024 concurrent with the Business Combination, and a Successor period from February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024. A black line between the Successor and Predecessor periods has been placed in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and in the tables to the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to highlight the lack of comparability between these two periods.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. Financial presentation in prior periods has been adjusted to conform with current period presentation.

The Predecessor financial statements reflect the carve-out assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of SYU. SYU has not previously been separately accounted for as a stand-alone legal entity. The accounts are presented on a combined basis because SYU was under common control of EM.

The accompanying Predecessor financial statements also include a portion of indirect costs for general and administrative expenses. In addition to the allocation of indirect costs, the Predecessor financial statements reflect certain agreements executed by EM for the benefit of SYU. The allocations methodologies for significant allocated items include:

•General and administrative expenses that were not specifically identifiable to SYU were allocated to SYU as a portion of certain other operating costs based on aggregated historical benchmarking data for the period from January 1, 2022 to February 13, 2024. The total amounts allocated to SYU for the period from January 1, 2024 to February 13, 2024 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, which are recorded in general and administrative expenses, are $1.7 million, $2.9 million, and $6.1 million, respectively.

•Long-term debt was not allocated to SYU as it was a legal obligation of EM, which was not directly impacted by the sale of SYU to Sable.

Management believes the allocation methodologies used in the Predecessor financial statements are reasonable and result in an allocation of EM’s indirect costs of operating SYU as a stand-alone entity. These Predecessor financial statements may not be indicative of the future performance of SYU and do not necessarily reflect what the results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had SYU been operated as an independent company during the periods presented.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that 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 expenses during the reporting period. Significant assumptions arerequired in estimating the quantities and values of proved oil, gas and NGL reserves used in calculating depletion and assessingimpairmentofoilandgasproperties.Othersignificantestimatesmadebymanagementinclude,among others, allocation assumptions and the carrying amount of asset retirement obligations, which are based on the timing and cost of future abandonments, and inputs utilized to fair value warrant liabilities.

Actual resultscould differfromtheseestimates, and itis at least reasonably possible these estimates could be revised in the near term, and these revisions could be material.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

•Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

•Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

•Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Refer to Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements for fair value disclosures.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

The Company considers cash or cash equivalents that are legally restricted from use or withdrawal as restricted cash. In March of 2024 the Company entered into the Settlement Agreement (as defined below) in regards to the Grey Fox Matter (as defined below) (refer to Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies for additional details regarding the Grey Fox Matter). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company was required to deliver a letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit") in the amount of $35.0 million to the plaintiffs' counsel in the Grey Fox Matter. The Letter of Credit was issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) and required the Company to enter into a cash collateral agreement (the “Collateral Agreement”) with JPMorgan on May 7, 2024. Pursuant to the Collateral Agreement, the Company deposited $35.0 million into a collateral account (the “Collateral Account”), which is pledged as collateral to JPMorgan as the issuer of the Letter of Credit. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the plaintiffs' counsel in the Grey Fox Matter may draw upon the Letter of Credit at a future date upon satisfaction of certain conditions, and the funds held in the Collateral Account are legally restricted to reimburse JPMorgan for such draws, in addition to any related fees and expenses. Additionally, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company will pay interest on the $35.0 million to the Grey Fox plaintiffs at the rate earned on the Collateral Account (the "Interest Payable"); provided however that the Company is entitled to reduce the Interest Payable by the ordinary and customary expenses charged to the Company from JPMorgan as the issuer of the Letter of Credit, capped at $0.4 million. Subject to the court’s final approval of the Settlement Agreement, the $35.0 million deposit in the Collateral Account and Interest Payable are payable upon the final payment date, which must occur no later than June 30, 2025 (the "Final Payment Date").

Prior to the Final Payment Date, the Interest Payable is not legally restricted and is available for the Company's use. However, the Company has adopted an accounting policy to consider interest that is both (i) earned on cash that is legally restricted in relation to a legal settlement and (ii) payable as a part of such settlement, such as the Interest Payable, restricted for presentation purposes. Accordingly, the $35.0 million deposit in the Collateral Account and the related Interest Payable are presented within the restricted cash balance presented on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and restricted cash deposits with a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $0.3 million. At June 30, 2024 (Successor) and December 31, 2023 (Predecessor), the Company did not experience losses on this account.

Related Parties

Transactions between related parties are considered to be related party transactions even though they may not be given accounting recognition. Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 850, Related Party Disclosures (“ASC Topic 850”), requires transactions with related parties that would make a difference in decision making to be disclosed so that users of the condensed consolidated financial statements can evaluate their significance. Refer to Note 5—Related Party Transactions for further discussion.

During the period from January 1, 2024 through February 13, 2024 (Predecessor) and the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor), there were no related party transactions, except for the management and administrative services. SYU previously received management and administrative services from EM, a portion of which was attributable to SYU. Additionally, cash that was received on behalf of SYU by EM created a receivable for SYU, while expenditures made by EM on behalf of SYU created a payable for SYU. The net receivable or payable from all cash activity attributable to SYU is reflected as Due to related party, net on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Cost Basis. The Company's oil and gas producing activities are accounted for under the successful efforts method of accounting. Under this method, costs are accumulated on a field-by-field basis. Costs incurred to purchase, lease, or otherwise acquire a property (whether unproved or proved) are capitalized when incurred. Exploratory well costs are carried as an asset when the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and where sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project is being made. Exploratory well costs not meeting these criteria are charged to expense. Other exploratory expenditures, including geophysical costs and annual lease rentals, are expensed as incurred. Development costs, including costs of productive wells and development dry holes, are capitalized.

OtherPropertyand Equipment. Otherpropertyandequipmentprimarilyconsistof onshore midstream facilities. Due to the nature of the other property and equipment, it is presented within oil and gas properties in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization are primarily determined under the unit-of-production method, which is based on estimated asset service life taking obsolescence into consideration.

Acquisition costs of proved properties are to be amortized using a unit-of-production method, computed on the basis of total proved oil and natural gas reserve volumes. Capitalized exploratory drilling and development costs associated with productive depletable extractive properties are amortized using the unit-of-production rates based on the amount of proved developed reserves of oil and gas that are estimated to be recoverable from existing facilities using current operating methods. Under the unit-of-production method, oil and natural gas volumes are considered produced once they have been measured through meters at custody transfer or sales transaction points at the outlet valve on the lease or field storage tank.

Due to the nature of our investments in midstream equipment, the cost of such assets are also to be amortized using the unit-of-production rates based on the amount of proved developed reserves of oil and gas that are estimated to be recoverable from existing facilities using current operating methods. Maintenance and repairs, including planned major maintenance, are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and the assets replaced are retired.

SYU has been shut in since 2015 due to a pipeline incident but has been maintained to preserve it in an operation-ready state and thus no depreciation, depletion or amortization has been recorded by the Company since its acquisition of the SYU Assets. Depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion expense for oil and gas properties for the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Successor) and the period February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor) consisted solely of accretion expense in the amount of $2.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

Depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion expense for oil and gas properties and related equipment was $2.6 million, $5.3 million and $10.5 million for the period from January 1, 2024 through February 13, 2024 (Predecessor), and the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor), respectively.

The Company had net capitalized costs related to oil and gas properties and related equipment of $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2024 (Successor) and $689.0 million as of December 31, 2023 (Predecessor), respectively.

Impairment Assessment. Oil and gas properties are tested for recoverability on an ongoing basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Among the events or changes in circumstances which could indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable are the following:

a.a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset;

b.a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is being used or in its physical condition including a significant decrease in current and projected reserve volumes;

c.a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value, including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;

d.an accumulation of project costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected;

e.a current-period operating loss combined with a history and forecast of operating or cash flow losses; and

10

Oil and gas properties undergo a process to monitor for indicators of potential impairment throughout the year. This process is aligned with the requirements of ASC 360 and ASC 932. Asset valuation analysis, profitability reviews and other periodic control processes assist in assessing whether events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amounts of any of the assets may not be recoverable.

Because the lifespans of the oil and gas properties are measured in decades, the future cash flows of these assets are predominantly based on long-term oil and natural gas commodity prices, industry margins, and development and production costs. Significant reductions in management’s view of oil or natural gas commodity prices or margin ranges, especially the longer-term prices and margins, and changes in the development plans, including decisions to defer, reduce, or eliminate planned capital spending, can be an indicator of potential impairment. Other events or changes in circumstances, can be indicators of potential impairment as well.

In general, temporarily low prices or margins are not viewed as an indication of impairment. Management believes that prices over the long term must be sufficient to generate investments in energy supply to meet global demand. Although prices will occasionally drop significantly, industry prices over the long term will continue to be driven by market supply and demand fundamentals. On the supply side, industry production from mature fields is declining. This is being offset by investments to generate production from new discoveries, field developments and technology, and efficiency advancements. OPEC investment activities and production policies also have an impact on world oil supplies. The demand side is largely a function of general economic activities, alternative energy sources and levels of prosperity. During the lifespan of its major assets, management expects that oil and gas prices and industry margins will experience significant volatility, and consequently these assets will experience periods of higher earnings and periods of lower earnings. In assessing whether events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, management considers recent periods of operating losses in the context of its longer-term view of prices and margins.

Cash Flow Assessment.If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, management estimates the future undiscounted cash flows of the affected properties to judge the recoverability of carrying amounts. In performing this assessment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. Cash flows used in recoverability assessments are based on assumptions which are developed by management and are consistent with the criteria management uses to evaluate investment opportunities. These evaluations make use of assumptions of future capital allocations, crude oil and natural gas commodity prices including price differentials, refining and chemical margins, volumes, and development and operating costs. Volumes are based on projected field and facility production profiles, throughput, or sales. Management’s estimate of upstream production volumes used for projected cash flows makes use of proved reserve quantities and may include risk-adjusted unproved reserve quantities.

Fair value of Impaired Assets. An asset group is impaired if its estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the asset group’s carrying value. Impairments are measured by the amount by which the carrying value exceeds fair value. The assessment of fair value is based upon the views of a likely market participant. The principal parameters used to establish fair value include estimates of acreage values and flowing production metrics from comparable market transactions, market-based estimates of historical cash flow multiples, and discounted cash flows. Inputs and assumptions used in discounted cash flow models include estimates of future production volumes, throughput and product sales volumes, commodity prices which are consistent with the average of third-party industry experts and government agencies, refining and chemical margins, drilling and development costs, operating costs and discount rates which are reflective of the characteristics of the asset group. Impairments incurred are Level 3 fair value measurements.

As discussed in Note 1 — Organization, Business Operations, and Going Concern above, on November 1, 2022, the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement was executed to sell SYU for consideration consisting of a seller financed note payable of approximately $606.3 million and cash of $18.8 million before purchase price adjustments. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the SYU assets were written down by the Predecessor to their estimated fair value resulting in an impairment of approximately $1.4 billion. There were no impairments recognized during the periods February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor), January 1, 2024 through February 13, 2024 (Predecessor), or the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor).

Materials and supplies

Materials and supplies are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities include obligations incurred in the ordinary operation of the business for services performed and products received, including capital expenditures that are capitalized as oil and gas properties. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities consisted of the following as of:

	Successor		Predecessor
(in thousands)	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Accounts payable	$	4,760	$	3,235
Accrued expenses	17,796		2,149
Legal settlement payable	35,095		—
Total accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	57,651	$	5,384

Asset Retirement Obligations (“ARO”)

The Company’s asset retirement obligations primarily relate to the future plugging and abandonment of oil and gas properties and related facilities. The Company uses assumptions and judgments to estimate the respective future plugging and abandonment costs, technical assessments of the assets and their ultimate productive life (timing of settlements), a risk-adjusted discount rate and an inflation factor in order to determine the current present value of this obligation. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the present value of the existing asset retirement obligation liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and natural gas property balance.

The fair values of these obligations are recorded as liabilities on a discounted basis, which is typically at the time the assets are installed. Asset retirement obligations incurred in the current period are Level 3 fair value measurements. The costs associated with these liabilities are capitalized as part of the related assets and depreciated as the reserves are produced. Over time, the liabilities are accreted for the change in their present value. Refer to Note 4 — Asset Retirement Obligations for additional disclosures.

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

The Company does not currently use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The Company accounts for its warrants as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations (Refer toNote 11 — Fair Value Measurements for additional details).

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

12

ASC 740 also requires that an annual effective tax rate be determined and that such annual effective rate be applied to year-to-date income in interim periods. Using provisions of ASC 740 that allow certain tax items to be recorded in the interim period in which these items are reported, the Company’s effective tax rate was negative 5.7% and negative 3.2% for the Successor period February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 and the three months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The effective tax rates differ from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the Successor periods ended June 30, 2024, due primarily to changes in the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets and disallowed expenses.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In projecting future taxable income, we begin with historical results and incorporate assumptions about the amount of future federal and state pretax operating income adjusted for items that do not have tax consequences. Based on our ongoing assessment of all available evidence, both positive and negative, we concluded that it was more likely than not that our U.S. deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities would not be realized.Also, in scheduling the reversals of our existing timing differences for the Successor period, we concluded that certain deferred tax liabilities in future periods do not have deferred tax assets available to offset, which is primarily due to our net operating losses being limited to 80% of taxable income on an annual basis. Therefore, a further valuation allowance of our deferred tax assets in excess of our liabilities is necessary and results in deferred tax expense for the Successor period.Our judgment regarding the likelihood of realization of these deferred tax assets could change in future periods, which could result in a material impact to our income tax provision in the period of change.

Parent Net Investment (Predecessor)

Parent net investment reflects the financial reporting basis of SYU’s assets and liabilities and changes due to capital contributions and losses. All cash activity of SYU for the periods presented were concentrated in accounts retained by EM. Accordingly, net cash activity attributable to SYU is reflected in contributions from parent in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in the Predecessor periods.

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per share of Common Stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Common Stock.

	Successor		Predecessor		Successor		Predecessor
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)	Three Months Ended June 30, 2024		Three Months Ended June 30, 2023		February 14, 2024—June 30, 2024		January 1, 2024—February 13, 2024		Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
Net loss	$	(165,436)	$	(22,308)	$	(345,541)	$	(11,789)	$	(45,501)
Weighted average shares outstanding—Basic and diluted	60,166,269		n/a		60,166,269		n/a		n/a
Net loss per share—Basic and diluted	$	(2.75)	n/a		$	(5.74)	n/a		n/a

Restricted shares outstanding are anti-dilutive due to the Company's net loss position and therefore have not been included in the weighted average shares calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and the period from February 14, 2024—June 30, 2024.

Recent Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). This guidance requires a public entity, including entities with a single reportable segment, to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. The Company plans to adopt this guidance and conform with the applicable disclosures retrospectively when it becomes mandatorily effective for our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2024. The Company is currently reviewing what impact, if any, adoption will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The FASB issued this ASU to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently reviewing what impact, if any, adoption will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Note 3 — Acquisition

On the Sable-EM Closing Date, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a $625.0 million five year Senior Secured Term Loan with Exxon (the “Term Loan”) and paid additional consideration of $204.2 million in cash to Exxon (which excludes an $18.8 million cash deposit on the Term Loan paid to Exxon on the Closing Date). Refer to Note 6 — Debt for additional details regarding the Term Loan.

The following table presents the preliminary adjusted purchase consideration (in thousands):

Consideration:
Purchase consideration as per Sable-EM Purchase Agreement	$	625,000
Plus:
Paid-in-kind interest from effective date to closing*	140,018
Materials and supplies*	16,637
Cash consideration paid	204,154
Preliminary adjusted purchase consideration	$	985,809

*Included in the initial principal associated with the Term Loan.

The acquisition of the SYU Asset's is accounted for under the scope of FASB’s ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Pursuant to ASC 805, Sable was determined to be the accounting acquirer. The Company is still finalizing the allocation of the purchase price to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of the purchase price included in the current period balance sheet is based on the best estimate of management and is preliminary and subject to change. To assist management in the allocation, the Company engaged valuation specialists. The Company will finalize the amounts recognized as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained. The Company expects to finalize these amounts as soon as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The Company assumed contractual agreements for warehousing space and for surface use rights. For leases with a primary term of more than 12 months, a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and the corresponding ROU lease liability is recorded. The Company recorded an initial asset and liability of $4.6 million associated with the assumed leases. The Company determines at inception if an arrangement is an operating or financing lease.

The Company also paid transaction costs in connection with the acquisition and the related Business Combination totaling $49.1 million, of which $24.7 million was recognized in Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as of the Closing Date, $22.9 million was recognized as a charge to Additional paid-in-capital, and $1.5 million was capitalized as debt issuance costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 14, 2024.

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

Convertible Promissory Notes

Since Flame's inception, it entered into nine convertible promissory notes with Flame Acquisition Sponsor LLC ("Sponsor") to provide working capital loans (the "Working Capital Loans") totaling $3.3 million as of February 14, 2024. The Working Capital Loans were to be either repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, such Working Capital Loans were convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination

15

entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. At the Closing Date, all of the Working Capital Loans were converted into an aggregate of 3,306,370 Private Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Warrant. The warrants are identical to the Private Placement Warrants. See warrant discussion at Note 7 — Warrants.

Promissory Note Loans

Since Flame's inception, it entered into four non-convertible promissory notes (the “Promissory Note Loans”) with the Sponsor to provide Promissory Note Loans that were used to pay for expenditures of the acquisition target totaling $1.1 million as of February 14, 2024. At the Closing Date, each of the Promissory Note Loans were fully repaid in cash.

Founder Reimbursement

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, James C. Flores, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, was entitled to reimbursement by Flame, on the Closing Date, of all of his reasonable, documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses for any agents, advisors, consultants, experts, independent contractors and financial advisors engaged on behalf of Holdco or Sable and incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement, in each case, that were paid as of the Closing, subject to a cap equal to $3.0 million. On the Closing Date, Mr. Flores was reimbursed $2.9 million and the associated expense is included in General and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the period from February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor).

Note 6 — Debt

Senior Secured Term Loan

Sable entered into the Term Loan with an initial principal of $625.0 million. The initial principal balance was increased by $16.6 million for material and supplies and $140.0 million for paid-in-kind interest from the effective date through the Closing Date less an $18.8 million cash deposit (which was paid on the Closing Date). The proceeds of the Term Loan were deemed funded on the Closing Date in connection with consummation of the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement. The term loan bears interest at ten percent (10.0%) per annum (computed on a 360-day year). Unless Sable elects in writing prior to an applicable interest payment date to pay accrued but unpaid interest in cash, all such accrued and unpaid interest shall be compounded annually on January 1st of each year by adding the relevant amount to the then outstanding principal amount of the term loan ("paid-in-kind interest"). The Term Loan matures on the earliest to occur of (i) the five year anniversary of the applicable effective time (such effective time, 12:00:01 a.m. (Houston Time) on January 1, 2022), (ii) ninety days after Restart Production (i.e., 180 days after first production from the wells) under and as defined in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement or (iii) acceleration of the term loan in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan.

The Term Loan dated as of the Closing Date by and among Sable, EM, as lender, and Alter Domus Products Corp., as the administrative agent for the benefit of the lender requires that James C. Flores, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, remains directly and actively involved in the day-to-day management of our business, subject to the right of the holder of such indebtedness to approve his replacement, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Additionally, if we fail to restart production of the SYU Assets by January 1, 2026 (the “Restart Failure Date”), then pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated November 1, 2022, by and among Legacy Sable, EM and MPPC relating to the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement, for 180 days thereafter, EM will have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to require us to reassign the SYU Assets and rights to EM or its designated representative, without reimbursing us for any of our costs or expenditures (the “Reassignment Option”). If we have acquired any additional rights or assets or have developed additional improvements related to the SYU Assets, records or benefits, on EM’s request we also would be required to assign and deliver those additional rights, assets, improvements, records or benefits to EM without being reimbursed for any of our additional costs or expenses. If we are unable to restart production of the SYU Assets by the Restart Failure Date and EM exercises its Reassignment Option, EM will become the owner of substantially all of our business and we may be forced to wind-down our operations. Our ability to restart production of the SYU Assets is subject to several risks, and there is no assurance that we will be able to restart production of the SYU Assets by the Restart Failure Date.

Restrictive covenants in the Senior Secured Term Loan impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries and we may be prevented from taking advantage of business opportunities that arise because of the limitations imposed on us by the Term Loan unless we gain EM’s consent. These restrictions limit our ability to, among other things: engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations, or dissolutions; create or incur debt or liens; make certain

16

debt prepayments; pay dividends, distributions, management fees or certain other restricted payments; make investments, acquisitions, loans, or purchase oil and gas properties; sell, assign, farm-out or dispose of any property; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into, subject to certain exceptions, any agreement that prohibits or restricts liens securing the Term Loan, payments of dividends to us, or payment of debt owed to us and our subsidiaries; and change the nature of our business.

The Term Loan also contains representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, additional negative covenants and events of default (including a change of control). During the pendency of the Term Loan and in case of an event of default thereunder, EM may exercise all remedies at law or equity, and may foreclose upon substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries, including, in the event of a deficiency, cash and any other assets not acquired from EM in the Business Combination to the extent constituting collateral under the applicable financing documents. We may not be able to obtain amendments, waivers or consents for potential or actual breaches of such representations and warranties or covenants, or we may be unable to obtain such amendments waivers or consents on acceptable terms, all of which could limit management’s flexibility to operate the business.

Long-Term Debt as of June 30, 2024 (Successor) consisted of the following:

(in thousands)
Senior Secured Term Loan, including paid-in-kind interest	$	791,377
Less: Debt issuance costs	(1,000)
Total long-term debt, net	$	790,377

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Successor) and during the period from February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor), the Company incurred interest expense of $19.2 million and $29.0 million, respectively, which is included as expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and paid-in-kind interest was accrued on the Senior Secured Term Loan on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Successor) and the period from February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor), the Company’s effective interest rate on the Senior Secured Term Loan was approximately 10.0%.

Predecessor Debt

No debt or interest was allocated to SYU in the Predecessor financial statements as of December 31, 2023 (Predecessor) or for the period from January 1, 2024 through February 13, 2024 (Predecessor) or the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor) as it was a legal obligation of EM.

Note 7 — Warrants

The table below reflects outstanding warrants as of June 30, 2024 (Successor):

	Public Warrants	Private Placement Warrants	Working Capital Warrants	Total
Outstanding Warrants at February 14, 2024	14,374,971	7,750,000	—	22,124,971
Issued	—	—	3,306,370	3,306,370
Outstanding Warrants at June 30, 2024	14,374,971	7,750,000	3,306,370	25,431,341

Public Warrants

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants became exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination and will expire five years from the Closing Date, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is

17

current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable, and the Company will not be obligated to issue a share of Common Stock upon exercise of a warrant unless the share of Common Stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.

On the Closing Date, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, which the SEC declared effective on May 10, 2024. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration or redemption of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. In addition, if the shares of Common Stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of the Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company elects to do so, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but it will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants, multiplied the excess of the “fair market value” less the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.361. The “fair market value” shall mean the volume weighted average price of the shares of Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent.

Redemption of Warrants For Cash—The Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants for cash:

•in whole and not in part;

•at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;

•upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

•if, and only if, the last sale price of our Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. However, the Company will not redeem the warrants unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Common Stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants are exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

Redemption of Warrants For Shares of Common Stock—commencing 90 days after the warrants became exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for shares of Common Stock:

•in whole and not in part;

•at a price equal to a number of shares of Common Stock to be determined by reference to the agreed table set forth in the warrant agreement based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Common Stock;

•upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

•if, and only if, the last sale price of our Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted per share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of Common Stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants upon exercise.

18

Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants

The Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants issued in connection with Flame's IPO, except that (x) the Private Placement Warrants, the Working Capital Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such warrants were not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the Closing Date, subject to certain limited exceptions, (y) the Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees and (z) the Private Placement Warrants, the Working Capital Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants are entitled to registration rights. If the Private Placement Warrants or Working Capital Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, such warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities and marked-to-market at each reporting period, with changes in fair value included as Changes in fair value of warrant liabilities in the Successor's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations (refer to Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements).

Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares (defined below), Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants (and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such instruments) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lockup period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

Flame engaged underwriters as advisors in connection with its business combination to assist it in holding meetings with Flame’s stockholders to discuss the potential business combination and the target business’s attributes, introduce it to potential investors that are interested in purchasing its securities in connection with the potential business combination, assist it in obtaining stockholder approval for the business combination and assist it with its press releases and public filings in connection with the business combination. Flame was to pay a Marketing Fee (as defined in its registration statement on Form S-1, as amended, that was filed with the SEC on February 5, 2021) for such services upon the consummation of its initial business combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, including the proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option. The underwriters were not entitled to such fee unless Flame consummated its initial business combination. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Marketing Fee of $10.1 million was paid in full, and is recognized as an offset to the proceeds from the PIPE Investment within Additional paid-in capital in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of equity/net parent investment as of June 30, 2024 (Successor).

Grey Fox Matter

On March 26, 2024, Sable entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the “Settlement Agreement”) among (i) Grey Fox, LLC, MAZ Properties, Inc., Bean Blossom, LLC, Winter Hawk, LLC, Mark Tautrim, Trustee of the Mark Tautrim Revocable Trust, and Denise McNutt, on behalf of themselves and the Court-certified Settlement Class (the “Plaintiffs and Settlement Class Members”), (ii) Pacific Pipeline Company (“PPC”) and (iii) Sable, with respect to the settlement and release of certain claims related to the Pipelines, including claims impacting the right of way for the Pipelines (collectively, the “Released Claims”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, (i) the Plaintiffs and Settlement Class Members will be obligated to, among other things, (a) release Sable, PPC and the other released parties from and against the Released Claims, (b) grant certain temporary construction easements to facilitate the repair of certain portions of the Pipelines, and (c) cooperate in good faith with Sable and PPC with respect to any and all steps reasonably required to restart the Pipelines and operate

19

them thereafter, including obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals, consistent with the requirements of the relevant government agencies and the Consent Decree issued by the United States District Court for the Central District of California in relation to Civil Action No. 2:20-cv-02415 (United States of America and the People of the State of California v. Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. and Plains Pipeline, L.P.) and (ii) Sable has agreed to among other things, (a) pay $35.0 million into an interest-bearing non-reversionary qualified settlement fund, and (b) deliver to class counsel an irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by J.P. Morgan & Co. or another federally insured bank in the amount of $35.0 million to secure Sable’s obligation to make certain payments under the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement is subject to approval by the United States District Court for the Central District of California (the “Court”). There can be no assurance that the Court will grant final approval of the Settlement Agreement on its current terms or at all. The Company expensed $0.1 million and $70.1 million for the settlement expense and the Interest Payable, which is included in General and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Successor) and the period from February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor), respectively (refer to discussion of restricted cash in Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies for additional details regarding the Interest Payable).

On May 1, 2024, the Court entered an order granting preliminary approval of the Settlement Agreement. The Court found, among other things, that (i) the Court will likely be able to approve the Settlement Agreement under Rule 23(e)(2) and to certify the settlement class for purposes of judgment on the proposed settlement and (ii) the settlement is sufficiently fair, reasonable, and adequate as the settlement class members under the relevant considerations to warrant sending notice of the settlement to the settlement class. On May 9, 2024, the Company made the initial $35.0 million payment into the Qualified Settlement Fund and delivered the $35.0 million letter of credit to plaintiffs' counsel. A fairness hearing has been scheduled for September 13, 2024 to, among other things, determine whether the proposed settlement should be finally approved by the Court.

Note 9 — Stockholders' Equity (Successor)

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue a total of 1,000,000 of preferred stock at par value of $0.0001 each. At June 30, 2024 (Successor) there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue a total of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock at par value of $0.0001 each. At June 30, 2024 (Successor) there were 64,845,435 shares issued and outstanding.

The following summarizes the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination:

	Shares
Public stockholders	5,953,859
Initial stockholders	7,187,500
Merger consideration shares	3,000,000
PIPE Investors	44,024,910
Total shares outstanding at close	60,166,269
Note: Table excludes Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants, Working Capital Warrants convertible into Common Stock, and 4,679,166 shares of restricted stock awards that were granted under the Company's Incentive Plan after the Closing but have not yet vested.

7,187,500 shares of Common Stock held by the initial stockholders ("Founders Shares") are not transferable, assignable or salable (except to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the earlier of (A) February 13, 2025 or (B) subsequent to February 14, 2024, (x) if the last sale price of our Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after February 14, 2024, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Note 10 — Stock-Based Compensation

On February 12, 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved a stock-based compensation plan (the "Incentive Plan") to enhance the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who make (or are expected to make) important contributions to the Company by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities and/or equity-linked compensatory opportunities. The Predecessor had no equity compensation plans or outstanding equity awards specific to the SYU Assets. The total stock-based compensation expense is included on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations based upon the job function of the employees receiving the grants as follows (in thousands):

	Successor
	Three Months Ended June 30, 2024		February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024
Operations and maintenance expenses	$	1,933	$	1,933
General and administrative expenses	20,972		67,352
Total	$	22,905	$	69,285

Incentive Plan

The Company's Incentive Plan includes incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, restricted stock units and other stock or cash-based awards. Certain awards under the Incentive Plan may constitute or provide for payment of “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, which may impose additional requirements on the terms and conditions of such awards. Awards other than cash awards generally will be settled in shares of the Company's common stock, but the applicable award agreement may provide for cash settlement of any award.

Our employees, consultants and directors, and employees and consultants of our subsidiaries, may be eligible to receive awards under the Incentive Plan. Following the closing of the Business Combination, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") was appointed by the Board to administer the Incentive Plan (the Compensation Committee, in its role as administrator of the Incentive Plan, the "Plan Administrator").

The Plan Administrator has the authority to take all actions and make all determinations under the Incentive Plan, to interpret the Incentive Plan and award agreements and to adopt, amend and repeal rules for the administration of the Incentive Plan as it deems advisable. The Plan Administrator will also have the authority to, among other things, determine which eligible service providers receive awards, grant awards, set the terms and conditions of all awards under the Incentive Plan, including any performance goals, vesting and vesting acceleration provisions, subject to the conditions and limitations in the Incentive Plan, accelerate vesting requirements, waive or amend performance goals and other restrictions, and amend award agreements.

Restricted Stock Awards

On the Closing Date, and in connection with the executive officers' employment agreements, the Company granted 650,000 shares of restricted common stock to each of the Company's executive officers (other than Mr. Flores), which vest on the earlier of (i) the restart of production from the SYU Assets or (ii) three years after the Closing Date. The executive officer awards are subject to a three-year lock-up provision.

During March 2024, the Plan Administrator authorized the grant of 158,334 shares of restricted common stock in the aggregate to the members of the Board for their contributions towards closing the Business Combination and for their service on the Board. These restricted shares vest twelve months from the grant date.

Additionally, 1,920,832 shares of restricted common stock were granted to employees of the Company following the closing of the Business Combination. These restricted shares vest on the earlier of (i) the restart of production from the SYU Assets or (ii) three years after the Closing Date. All of the executive officer awards, the awards granted to the members of the Board, and the awards granted to employees of the Company following the closing of the Business Combination are restricted stock awards to be settled in shares, and qualify as equity classified awards. The value of the stock-settled restricted stock awards is established by the market price on the date of grant and is recorded as compensation expense ratably over the vesting terms. Forfeitures will be recognized as they occur.

21

As of June 30, 2024 (Successor), 10.9 million share-based awards were authorized and available for grant under the Successor's Incentive Plan. No shares were authorized or granted by the Predecessor as of December 31, 2023.

The following table summarizes stock-settled restricted stock share activity for the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Successor) and the period February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor):

	Successor			Successor
	Three Months Ended June 30, 2024			February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024
		Weighted-average grant date fair value			Weighted-average grant date fair value
	Shares			Shares
Non-vested, beginning of the period	2,758,334	$	12.03	—	$	—
Granted	1,920,832	10.99		4,679,166	11.61
Vested	—	—		—	—
Forfeited	—	—		—	—
Non-vested, end of the period	4,679,166	$	11.61	4,679,166	$	11.61

The unrecognized stock-based compensation expense associated with the unvested restricted stock awards at June 30, 2024 (Successor) was $25.1 million, which is to be recognized over the weighted average remaining life of approximately 3 months.

Merger Consideration

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date and contemporaneously with the completion of the transactions contemplated under the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement, as previously noted Holdco merged with and into Flame, with Flame as the surviving company, and immediately thereafter, Sable merged with and into Flame, with Flame as the surviving company. The aggregate consideration received by holders of limited liability company membership interests in Holdco designated as Class A shares immediately prior to the Holdco Merger Effective Time was 3,000,000 shares of Flame Class A common stock. Share based compensation expense of $36.3 million was recognized associated with the issuance of the 3,000,000 shares in General and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the period from February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor). The Merger Consideration Shares are subject to a three-year lock-up provision.

Founders Shares

In the periods prior to the Business Combination, the Sponsor sold 434,375 Founder Shares to some of the Company’s directors and executives, including Gregory D. Patrinely, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, at their original purchase price. Such sale of Founder Shares to the Company’s directors and executives is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The Founder Shares were sold to directors and executives and effectively transferred subject to a performance condition (i.e., the consummation of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founder Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of achievement under the applicable accounting literature. As such, the Company recognized $3.7 million in stock-based compensation expense upon the completion of the Business Combination, which is included in the General and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the period from February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor).

Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements

Certain of the Company's financial assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheet (Successor). An established fair value hierarchy prioritizes the relative reliability of inputs used in fair value measurements. The hierarchy gives highest priority to Level 1 inputs that represent unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

22

Level 2 inputs are directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs and have the lowest priority in the hierarchy.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2024 (Successor), and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

(dollars in thousands)	Public Warrants (Level 1)		Senior Secured Term Loan (Level 2)		Private Placement Warrants (Level 3)		Working Capital Warrants (Level 3)		Total Liabilities Fair Value
Fair value as of February 14, 2024 (Successor)	$	39,962	$	761,401	$	19,813	$	—	$	821,176
Additions	—		9,801		—		10,283		20,084
Change in valuation inputs or other assumptions	(2,875)		—		550		562		(1,763)
Fair Value as of March 31, 2024 (Successor)	37,087		771,202		20,363		10,845		839,497
Additions	—		19,175		—		—		19,175
Change in valuation inputs or other assumptions	24,294		—		37,839		19,045		81,178
Fair value as of June 30, 2024 (Successor)	$	61,381	$	790,377	$	58,202	$	29,890	$	939,850

There were no transfers in or out of Level 2 or Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy during periods February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor).

There were no financial assets or liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis in the Predecessor financial statements as of December 31, 2023 (Predecessor) or for the period from January 1, 2024 to February 13, 2024 (Predecessor) and the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor).

Investments Held in Money Market Accounts

As of June 30, 2024 (Successor), investments in the Company's money market accounts consisted of $111.8 million in demand deposit accounts (and are therefore not reflected in the table above).

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

The carrying values of accounts payable and accrued expenses are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term maturities of those instruments (and are therefore not reflected in the table above).

Senior Secured Term Loan

As of June 30, 2024 (Successor), the estimated fair value of the Senior Secured Term Loan approximates the amount of principal and paid-in-kind interest outstanding because the interest rate is reflective of market rates and such outstanding amount may be repaid, in full or in part, at any time without penalty, the inputs are considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.

Warrant Liabilities

The Public Warrants are measured at the Observable Quoted Price in Active Markets. The Private Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants are measured using the Modified Black-Scholes Optional Pricing Model. The estimated fair value of the private warrant and the working capital warrant liabilities is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a binomial options pricing model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero.

23

The aforementioned warrant liabilities are not subject to qualified hedge accounting.

As Private Placement Warrants held by FL Co-Investment, LLC ("FL Co-Investment") and Intrepid Financial Partners, L.L.C. ("Intrepid Financial Partners") will not be exercisable more than five years from the effective date of the registration statement, the exercise period end date is different than other Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants which will expire five years after the Closing Date or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Accordingly, they have different inputs to the Modified Black-Scholes Optional Pricing Model.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 inputs used to determine the fair values of Private Placement Warrants held by FL Co-Investment and Intrepid Financial Partners as of June 30, 2024 (Successor).

Inputs	June 30, 2024 (Successor)
Stock price	$	15.07
Strike price	$	11.50
Term (in years)	1.65
Volatility	45.0		%
Risk-free rate	4.73		%
Dividend yield	0.00		%

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements used to determine the fair value of the Working Capital Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants, excluding Private Placement Warrants held by FL Co-Investment and Intrepid Financial Partners, as of June 30, 2024 (Successor).

Inputs	June 30, 2024 (Successor)
Stock price	$	15.07

Note 12 — Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company, other than as previously described herein, did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Overview

Sable Offshore Corp. is an independent oil and gas company headquartered in Houston, Texas. We were incorporated in Delaware on October 16, 2020 and, until February 14, 2024, were a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

Business Combination

On November 1, 2022 (as amended on June 13, 2023 and December 15, 2023), Sable Offshore Corp., a Texas corporation (“SOC”), entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Sable-EM Purchase Agreement”) with Exxon Mobil Corporation (“Exxon”) and Mobil Pacific Pipeline Company (“MPPC,” and together with Exxon, “EM”) pursuant to which SOC agreed to acquire from EM certain assets constituting the Santa Ynez field in Federal waters offshore California (“SYU”) and associated onshore processing and pipeline assets (such “Assets,” as defined in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement, collectively the “SYU Assets”).

On November 2, 2022, Flame entered into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of November 2, 2022 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), with SOC and Sable Offshore Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the parent company of SOC (“Holdco” and, together with SOC, “ Legacy Sable”), which provided for the following transactions at the closing: (i) Holdco would merge with and into Flame, with Flame surviving such merger (the “Holdco Merger”) and (ii) SOC would merge with and into Flame, with Flame surviving such merger (the “SOC Merger” and,

25

together with the Holdco Merger, the “Mergers” and, along with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”).

On February 12, 2024, Flame held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), at which the Flame stockholders considered and adopted, among other matters, a proposal to approve the Business Combination, including (a) adopting the Merger Agreement and (b) approving the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, following the Special Meeting, on February 14, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Business Combination was consummated (the “Closing”). In connection with the Business Combination, Flame changed its name to “Sable Offshore Corp.”

PIPE Subscription Agreements

In connection with the Business Combination, Holdco and Flame entered into subscription agreements (collectively, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "PIPE Subscription Agreements") with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) for an aggregate commitment amount of $440,249,100. On February 14, 2024, immediately following the Closing, Sable issued 44,024,910 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate PIPE Investment of $440,249,100 in accordance with the terms of the PIPE Subscription Agreements. The shares of Common Stock issued in the PIPE Investments were offered in a private placement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements.

Registration Rights Agreement

On the Closing Date, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the holders of the limited liability company interests in Holdco designated as Holdco Class A shares entered into a registration rights agreement with Sable (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the holders were granted certain registration rights with respect to the Common Stock received as consideration in the Merger.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Sable agreed to file a registration statement within 30 calendar days after the consummation of the Merger registering the resale of the registrable securities under the Registration Rights Agreement, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC by the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day (or 120th calendar day if the SEC notifies Sable that it will review the registration statement) following the closing of the Merger and (ii) the 10th business day after the date Sable are notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the registration statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review. Sable thereafter will be required to maintain a registration statement that is continuously effective and to cause the registration statement to regain effectiveness in the event that it ceases to be effective. At any time the registration statement is effective, any holder signatory to the Registration Rights Agreement may request, one time in any 12-month period, to sell all or a portion of its securities that are registrable in an underwritten offering pursuant to the registration statement for a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $25 million. In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registrations initiated by Sable and other Sable stockholders. Sable will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any registration statements pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, subject to limited exceptions.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the holders of Holdco Class A shares immediately prior to the effective time of the Holdco Merger, subject to limited exceptions, agreed to a lock-up on their shares of Common Stock, pursuant to which such parties agreed to not transfer shares of Common Stock held by such parties for a period of three years following the closing of the Business Combination.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form Registration Rights Agreement filed as an exhibit to Sable’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2024.

SYU

Beginning in 1968 and over the course of 14 years, EM consolidated more than a dozen offshore federal oil leases and organized them into a streamlined production unit known as SYU. SYU consists of three offshore platforms and a wholly owned onshore processing facility located along the Gaviota Coast at Las Flores Canyon in Santa Barbara County, California. SYU’s onshore facilities and the three offshore platforms remained in continuous operation until 2015. In May 2015, a pipeline operated by Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“Plains”) that transported produced oil from SYU experienced a leak, as further described in the section of the Form 10-K titled “Business—Pipeline 901 Incident.” The SYU platforms and facilities suspended production after the incident, the SYU Assets were shut in and the facilities were placed in a safe state. The facilities are not currently producing oil and gas; however, all equipment remains in place in an operation-ready state, requiring ongoing inspections, maintenance and surveillance. As part of these suspension efforts, all SYU equipment was drained, flushed and purged in 2016. All hydrocarbon pipelines within SYU have been placed in a safe state and remain under regular monitoring. In 2020, Plains entered into a Consent Decree, described further in the section of the Form 10-K titled “Business—Pipeline 901 Incident,” that provides a path for a potential restart of the Pipelines.

The discussion of the results of operations for the Predecessor periods below do not include the results from the Pipelines and the Pipelines are not included in the combined financial statements of the Predecessor included in the financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Financial statements of the Pipelines have not been included because SEC guidance provides that the financial statements of recently acquired businesses such as the Pipelines need not be filed unless their omission would render Predecessors combined financial statements misleading or substantially incomplete. Based upon our quantitative and qualitative analysis, we do not believe omitting the financial statements of the Pipelines renders the Predecessor combined financial statements misleading or substantially incomplete. The Successor financial statements include the results from the Pipelines and the Pipelines are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

For the purposes of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, periods on or before February 13, 2024 reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of SYU prior to the Business Combination, referred to herein as the “Predecessor,” and periods beginning on or after February 14, 2024 reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as a result of the Business Combination, referred to herein as the “Successor”.

Recent Events

In a letter dated July 10, 2024, the California Office of the State Fire Marshal (“OSFM”) re-affirmed that Pacific Pipeline Company’s (“PPC”) April 2021 Risk Analysis and Implementation Plan (the “2021 Plan”) remains in effect and complies with California State Assembly Bill 864. PPC had filed a supplemental Revised Risk Analysis and Implementation Plan (the “Supplemental Plan”) after the County of Santa Barbara denied permits requested to comply with the 2021 Plan. While OSFM acknowledged PPC’s efforts to reduce spill response times and releases, it determined that the Supplemental Plan is not considered as effective in mitigating potential environmental impacts compared to the 2021 Plan. Consequently, the 2021 Plan, which uses the best available technology, remains in effect. Sable continues discussions to resolve the permit denial with the County of Santa Barbara for the installation of safety valves included in the 2021 Plan.

On July 29, 2024, PPC submitted restart plans for the Pipelines (the “Restart Plans”) to the OSFM as required by the Consent Decree. PPC is required to submit the Restart Plans to the OSFM for approval at least sixty (60) days prior to returning the Pipelines to service.

On July 29, 2024, PPC submitted a letter to the OSFM requesting additional time to implement the 2021 Plan. On July 31, 2024, the OSFM approved PPC’s extension request, setting a new deadline for implementation of the approved 2021 Plan of July 1, 2025.

The County of Santa Barbara determined Sable’s applications to be complete for Change of Owner, Change of Operator, and Guarantor of the SYU, Pacific Offshore Pipeline Company Gas Plant, and the Pipelines on July 30, 2024.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

The Company has not had any substantial revenues since the shut-in. The Company’s various operating expenses are the principal metrics used to assess its performance.

Operating Expenses

•Operations and maintenance. The Company’s most significant costs to operate and maintain its assets are direct labor and supervision, power, repair and maintenance expenses, and equipment rentals. Fluctuations in commodity prices impact operating cost elements both directly and indirectly. For example, commodity prices directly impact costs such as power and fuel, which are expenses that increase (or decrease) in line with changes in commodity prices. Commodity prices also affect industry activity and demand, thus indirectly impacting the cost of items such as labor and equipment rentals.

•Depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion. Depreciation, depletion and amortization are primarily determined under either the unit-of-production method or the straight-line method, which is based on estimated asset service life taking obsolescence into consideration. Since being shut in, no depletion or amortization has been recorded for the Successor periods presented. An immaterial amount of depreciation was reflected for idle plants in the historical Predecessor financial statements. Also included in the Successor and Predecessor financial statements is the accretion associated with the Company's estimated asset retirement obligations (“ARO”). The ARO liabilities are initially recorded at their fair value and then are accreted using SYU’s applicable discount rate over the period for the change in their present value until the estimated retirement of the asset.

•General and administrative. General and administrative (“G&A”) costs are comprised of overhead expenditures directly and indirectly associated with operating the assets. These support services include information technology, risk management, corporate planning, accounting, cash management, human resources, and other general corporate services. General and administrative expenses that were not specifically identifiable to SYU were allocated to SYU for the period from January 1, 2020 to February 13, 2024. To calculate a reasonable allocation, aggregated historical benchmarking data from comparable companies with similar operated upstream assets was used to identify general and administrative expenses as a proportion of operating expenses. SYU may also require increased services in the future, commensurate with planned activity levels.

•Taxes other than income. Management anticipates future increases in ad valorem taxes, in line with the projected restart of production.

Results of Operations

The comparability of our operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2024, the period February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor), the period January 1, 2024 through February 13, 2024 (Predecessor), and the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor) was impacted by the Business Combination. In the discussion of our results of operations for these periods, we may quantitatively disclose the impacts of the Business Combination to the extent they remain ascertainable. The entirety of our activity since inception through the Closing Date were related to our formation, the preparation for our initial public offering, and since the closing of our initial public offering, the search for a target for our initial business combination (Refer to Note 1 — Organization, Business Operations, and Going Concern). Following the Closing Date, all of our operations have focused on restarting production of the SYU Assets. We lack the ability to generate any operating revenues until we receive the necessary regulatory approvals and complete the repairs necessary to restart production. Our only source of non-operating income is generated in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents. Post the Business Combination, we expect to incur additional expenses as a result of being an operating public company, for legal, accounting and compliance expenses.

The following table presents selected consolidated financial results of operations for the Successor and Predecessor periods presented.

Operating and maintenance expenses.Operating and maintenance expenses were $26.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Successor), representing an increase of $12.2 million, or 86.3%, compared to $14.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor). The increase in operating and maintenance expenses was primarily attributable to timing of maintenance expenses incurred in connection with restart efforts. Operations and maintenance expenses are expected to increase over the next several years as production is restarted.

Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion. Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion was $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Successor), representing a decrease of $2.5 million, or 48.1%, compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor). The decrease in depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion was primarily attributable to the Company not recognizing depreciation expense following the Business Combination, as the Company determined the assets were not in service since repairs are necessary prior to achieving production restart. The depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Successor) solely represents the recognition of ARO accretion for the period but depreciation will resume once the assets are placed in service. Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense is expected to increase over the next several years as production is restarted.

General and administrative expenses.General and administrative expenses ("G&A expenses") were $33.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Successor), representing an increase of $30.3 million compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor). The increase in G&A expenses was primarily attributable to the $21.0 million in share-based compensation expense and the recognition of salaries and wages following the Business Combination. Predecessor G&A expenses were allocated to SYU as a portion of certain other operating costs based on aggregated historical benchmarking data, as previously noted.

Total other (income) expense, net.Total other expense, net was $98.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Successor), representing an increase of $98.1 million compared to other income of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor). The increase in total other (income) expense, net was primarily attributable to an increase of $81.2 million in the fair value of the warrants and $19.2 million in interest expense, partially offset by interest income of $2.3 million. The increase during the Successor period is due to the fact that the Predecessor did not have any debt or associated interest expense, warrants, or interest income.

29

Income tax expense.Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 (Successor) was $5.1 million, representing an increase of $5.1 million compared to $0.0 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor). Based on our ongoing assessment of our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, we concluded that it was more likely than not that our deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities would not be realized. For the Successor period, we concluded that certain deferred tax liabilities in future periods do not have deferred tax assets available to offset, which is primarily due to our net operating losses being limited to 80% of taxable income. Therefore, a further valuation allowance of our deferred tax assets is necessary, which results in deferred tax expense for the Successor period. Our judgment regarding the likelihood of realization of these deferred tax assets could change in future periods, which could result in a material impact to our income tax provision in the period of change.

Comparison of the periods from January 1, 2024 through February 13, 2024 (Predecessor) and February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor) to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor).

Operating and maintenance expenses.Operating and maintenance expenses were $7.3 million and $33.6 million for the periods from January 1, 2024 through February 13, 2024 (Predecessor) and February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor), respectively, or a combined $40.9 million, representing an increase of $12.0 million, or 41.6%, compared to $28.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor). The increase in operating and maintenance expenses was primarily attributable to timing of maintenance expenses incurred in connection with restart efforts. Operations and maintenance expenses are expected to increase over the next several years as production is restarted.

Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion. Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion was $2.6 million and $4.1 million for the periods from January 1, 2024 through February 13, 2024 (Predecessor) and February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor), respectively, or a combined $6.7 million, representing a decrease of $3.8 million, or 36.0%, compared to $10.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor). The decrease in depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion was primarily attributable to the Company not recognizing depreciation expense

30

following the Business Combination, as the Company determined the assets were not in service since repairs are necessary prior to achieving production restart. Depreciation will resume once the assets are placed in service. The $4.1 million depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense recognized for the period February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor) solely represents the recognition of ARO accretion for the period. Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense is expected to increase over the next several years as production is restarted.

General and administrative expenses.G&A expenses were $1.7 million and $183.7 million for the periods from January 1, 2024 through February 13, 2024 (Predecessor) and February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor), respectively, or a combined $185.4 million, representing an increase of $179.3 million compared to $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor). The increase in G&A expenses was primarily attributable to the $70.0 million settlement of the Grey Fox Matter (Refer to Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies), $67.4 million in share-based compensation expense following the Business Combination, $16.8 million in legal expenses and professional fees related to the Business Combination, and the recognition of salaries and wages following the Company's commencement of operations following the Business Combination. Predecessor G&A expenses were allocated to SYU as a portion of certain other operating costs based on aggregated historical benchmarking data as previously noted.

Total other (income) expense, net.Total other expense, net was $0.1 million and $105.6 million for the periods from January 1, 2024 through February 13, 2024 (Predecessor) and February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor), respectively, or a combined $105.7 million, representing an increase of $105.7 million compared to less than $0.1 in other income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor). The increase in total other (income) expense, net was primarily attributable to an increase of $79.4 million in fair value of the warrants and $29.0 million in interest expense, partially offset by interest income of $2.8 million. The increase during the Successor period is due to the fact that the Predecessor did not have any debt or associated interest expense, warrants, or interest income.

Income tax expense.Income tax expense was $0.0 and $18.6 million for the periods from January 1, 2024 through February 13, 2024 (Predecessor) and February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor), respectively, representing an increase of $18.6 million compared to $0.0 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor). Based on our ongoing assessment of our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, we concluded that it was more likely than not that our deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities would not be realized. For the Successor period, we concluded that certain deferred tax liabilities in future periods do not have deferred tax assets available to offset, which is primarily due to our net operating losses being limited to 80% of taxable income. Therefore, a further valuation allowance of our deferred tax assets is necessary, which results in deferred tax expense for the Successor period. Our judgment regarding the likelihood of realization of these deferred tax assets could change in future periods, which could result in a material impact to our income tax provision in the period of change.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview.Our plans for restarting production, including restarting the existing wells and facilities and recommencing transportation through the Pipelines, will require significant capital expenditures in excess of current operational cash flow. Historically, SYU’s primary source of liquidity has been its operational cash flow and, since the shut-in, capital contributions from its parent. While SYU’s production is in the process of being restarted and prior to generating positive cash flow from production, SYU’s capital expenditure needs will be substantial and are expected to come from cash on hand. Prior to the Business Combination, Flame had approximately $62.2 million in its trust account, which consisted of proceeds from the public stockholders and the private placement investors in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, less redemptions. Sable raised $440.2 million gross proceeds from the PIPE Investors in connection with the Business Combination. Additionally, more than $600 million of the Purchase Price was seller-financed through a secured term loan with EM (the “Term Loan”). Based on its current financial plan, Sable management expects production to restart in late third quarter 2024 or early fourth quarter 2024, after which its operating cash flows are expected to be sufficient to service Sable’s indebtedness.

Capital Requirements.Sable currently estimates start-up expenses of approximately $197.0 million in order to restart production in late third quarter 2024 or early fourth quarter 2024. Management evaluates its cost estimates on an ongoing basis. The expenditures will primarily be directed toward obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals and completing the pipeline repairs and bringing the shut-in assets back online in late third quarter 2024 or early fourth quarter 2024. After production restarts, Sable management expects a rapid increase in operating cash flows that should allow Sable to fund further capital expenditures. If Sable is unable to obtain funds or provide funds as needed for the planned capital

31

expenditure program, Sable may not be able to finance the capital expenditures necessary to restart production or sustain production thereafter.

Going Concern

Prior to the Business Combination, EM funded the Predecessor SYU operational expenses. Since the consummation of the Business Combination, Sable has addressed near-term capital funding needs with the PIPE Investments and believes the Company has sufficient capital to maintain operations and complete the repairs necessary to restart production at SYU. However, the Company’s plans for production restart are contingent upon approvals from federal, state and local regulators. Additionally, if the Company’s estimates of the costs of restarting production are less than the actual amounts necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to first production and will need to raise additional capital. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, among other things, suspending repair efforts and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

Due to the remaining regulatory approvals necessary to restart production, along with the timing of ongoing construction repair efforts, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements included in this Quarterly Report do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that could be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. SYU has been shut in since 2015 and therefore SYU had no production and associated revenues for the comparative periods. The net cash used in operating activities for the Company was $22.5 million and $93.9 million for the periods from January 1, 2024 through February 13, 2024 (Predecessor) and February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor), respectively, or a combined $116.3 million, representing an increase of $79.2 million, or 212.8%. The primary use of cash can be attributed to maintenance and operational readiness activities for SYU in the Predecessor and Successor periods, with additional general and administrative costs incurred post the Business Combination in the Successor period. For the period from February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor), we had a net loss of $345.5 million, partially offset by a non-cash increase of $79.4 million in fair value of the warrants, non-cash stock-based compensation of $69.3 million, changes in accounts payable of $53.1 million, non-cash paid-in-kind interest $28.5 million, and a non-cash deferred tax expense of $18.6 million. Changes in accounts payable for that period is primarily attributable to the Grey Fox Matter settlement, with $35.0 million remaining in Accounts payable and accrued expenses as of June 30, 2024 (Refer to Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies). Future cash flow from operations for SYU will depend on our ability to bring the associated oil and gas production of the assets back online, as well as the prices of oil, NGLs and natural gas.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor), the $37.2 million cash used in operating activities was related to maintenance and operational readiness expenses for SYU.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. The net cash used in investing activities for the Company was $0.0 and $208.3 million for the periods from January 1, 2024 through February 13, 2024 (Predecessor) and February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor), respectively. The Successor investing cash flow is primarily comprised of $204.2 million paid to EM at Closing for the SYU Assets, with the remaining cash paid for capital expenditures associated with restart efforts.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor), the net cash used in investing activities for the Predecessor period was $0.0 since SYU has been shut in since 2015, without investing activities, but has been maintained it in an operation-ready state.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. The net cash provided by financing activities for the Company was $22.5 million and $396.0 million for the periods from January 1, 2024 through February 13, 2024 (Predecessor) and February 14, 2024 through June 30, 2024 (Successor), respectively. The Successor financing activities for the period are comprised of the PIPE Investments cash received of $440.2 million, net of $22.9 million of capitalized Business Combination transaction expenses, or $417.3 million net, less the deposit paid to EM for the Term Loan of $18.8 million, payment of debt issuance costs of $1.5 million, and repayment of Flame non-convertible promissory notes—related parties for $1.1 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 (Predecessor), the net cash used in financing activities was $37.2 million. Predecessor financing activities consists of EM capital contributions financing the maintenance and operational readiness activities for SYU.

Contractual Obligations

Pursuant to the Term Loan, which financed most of the Purchase Price (as defined in the Term Loan), Sable will pay interest at ten percent (10%) per annum compounded annually, payable in arrears on January 1st of each year. At Sable’s election, accrued but unpaid interest may be deemed paid on each interest payment date by adding the amount of interest owed to the outstanding principal amount under the Term Loan. Refer to Note 6 — Debt for additional disclosures regarding the Term Loan.

Pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement with EM, EM provided to Sable certain operational, accounting, cash management, information technology and other general transition services with respect to the Assets (as such term is defined in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement) for three months following the Closing Date, or until May 14, 2024.

Additional obligations include the performance of ARO as referenced under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Asset Retirement Obligations” below.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of combined financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the combined financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Property, Plant and Equipment.

Cost Basis. Oil and gas producing activities are accounted for under the successful efforts method of accounting. Under this method, costs are accumulated on a field-by-field basis. Costs incurred to purchase, lease, or otherwise acquire a property (whether unproved or proved) are capitalized when incurred. Exploratory well costs are carried as an asset when the well has found a sufficient quantity of resources to justify its completion as a producing well and where sufficient progress assessing the resources and the economic and operating viability of the project is being made. Exploratory well costs not meeting these criteria are charged to expense. Other exploratory expenditures, including geophysical costs and

33

annual lease rentals, are expensed as incurred. Development costs, including costs of productive wells and development dry holes, are capitalized.

Other Property and Equipment. Other property and equipment primarily consist of onshore midstream facilities. Due to the nature of the other property and equipment, it is presented with oil and gas properties in the combined financial statements.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization are primarily determined under the unit-of-production method, which is based on estimated asset service life taking obsolescence into consideration.

Acquisition costs of proved properties are amortized using a unit-of-production method, computed on the basis of total proved oil and natural gas reserve volumes. Capitalized exploratory drilling and development costs associated with productive depletable extractive properties are amortized using the unit-of-production rates based on the amount of proved developed resources of oil and gas that are estimated to be recoverable from existing facilities using current operating methods. Under the unit-of-production method, oil and natural gas volumes are considered produced once they have been measured through meters at custody transfer or sales transaction points at the outlet valve on the lease or field storage tank. Maintenance and repairs, including planned major maintenance, are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and the assets replaced are retired.

SYU has been shut in since 2015 due to a pipeline incident but has been maintained by EM to preserve it in an operation-ready state and thus no depletion has been recorded for the periods presented.

Impairment Assessment. Assets are tested for recoverability on an ongoing basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Among the events or changes in circumstances which could indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable are the following:

•a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset;

•a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is being used or in its physical condition, including a significant decrease in current and projected resource or reserve volumes;

•a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value, including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;

•an accumulation of project costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected; and

•a current-period operating loss combined with a history and forecast of operating or cash flow losses.

The SYU assets undergo a process that monitors for indicators of potential impairment throughout the year. This process is aligned with the requirements of ASC 360—Property, Plant, and Equipment and ASC 932 Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas. Asset valuation analysis, profitability reviews and other periodic control processes assist in assessing whether events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amounts of any of the assets may not be recoverable.

If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, management estimates the future undiscounted cash flows of the affected properties to judge the recoverability of carrying amounts. In performing this assessment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. Cash flows used in recoverability assessments are based on assumptions which are developed by management and are consistent with the criteria management uses to evaluate investment opportunities. These evaluations make use of assumptions of future capital allocations, crude oil and natural gas commodity prices including price differentials, refining and chemical margins, volumes, and development and operating costs. Volumes are based on projected field and facility production profiles, throughput, or sales. Management’s estimate of upstream production volumes used for projected cash flows makes use of proved reserve quantities and may include risk-adjusted unproved reserve quantities.

An asset group is impaired if its estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the asset group’s carrying value. Impairments are measured by the amount by which the carrying value exceeds fair value. The assessment of fair value is based upon the views of a likely market participant. The principal parameters used to establish fair value include estimates of acreage values and flowing production metrics from comparable market transactions, market-based estimates of historical cash flow multiples, and discounted cash flows. Inputs and assumptions used in discounted cash flow models include estimates of future production volumes, throughput and product sales volumes, commodity prices which are consistent with the average of third-party industry experts and government agencies, refining and chemical margins,

34

drilling and development costs, operating costs and discount rates which are reflective of the characteristics of the asset group.

Asset Retirement Obligations. The Company’s asset retirement obligations primarily relate to the future plugging and abandonment of oil and gas properties and related facilities. The fair values of these obligations are recorded as liabilities on a discounted basis, which is typically at the time the assets are installed. In the estimation of fair value, the Company uses assumptions and judgments regarding such factors as the existence of a legal obligation for an asset retirement obligation, technical assessments of the assets, estimated amounts and timing of settlements, discount rates, and inflation rates.

Derivative Warrant Liabilities. We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

All of our outstanding warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, we recognize the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. The public warrants are measured at the Observable Quoted Price in Active Markets. The private placement warrants and the working capital warrants are measured at fair value using the Modified Black-Scholes Optional Pricing Model.

Emerging Growth Company; Smaller Reporting Company

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements. Sable could remain an emerging growth company until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Company IPO. However, if (a) Sable’s total annual gross revenue exceed $1.235 billion, (b) Sable is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter, or (c) Sable’s non-convertible debt issued within a three-year period exceeds $1.0 billion, Sable would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following fiscal year.

Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. Sable will be a smaller reporting company until the last day of any fiscal year for so long as either (1) the market value of Common Stock held by non-affiliates did not exceed $250 million as of the prior June 30, or (2) Sable’s annual revenues did not exceed $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of Common Stock held by non-affiliates did not exceed $700 million as of the prior June 30.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Item 3.          Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

35

Item 4.          Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
