Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENT

Defined terms included below shall have the same meaning as terms defined and included within the proxy statement/prospectus (File No. 333-258157), dated November 3, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”).

On December 7, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Crescent Energy Company (“Crescent” or the “Company”), Contango, Independence, OpCo and certain entities formed by the Company (C Merger Sub and L Merger Sub) completed the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement dated June 7, 2021 pursuant to which, (1) OpCo was recapitalized such that after giving effect to such recapitalization, all of the equity interest in OpCo consisting of 127,536,463 OpCo Units (the “OpCo Recapitalization”), Independence distributed all of the OpCo Units held by it, and all of the shares of Crescent Class B Common Stock held by it to the members of Independence in accordance with its organizational documents (the “Distribution”), and immediately following the Distribution, Independence merged with and into OpCo with OpCo surviving (the “Independence Merger”), (2) immediately following the Independence Merger, C Merger Sub merged with and into Contango, with Contango surviving the merger as a direct wholly owned corporate subsidiary of the Company (the “Contango Merger”), (3) as a result of the Contango Merger, each outstanding share of Contango Common Stock was converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Crescent Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio, (4) immediately following the Contango Merger, Contango merged with and into L Merger Sub, with L Merger Sub surviving the merger as a direct wholly owned limited liability company subsidiary of the Company (the “LLC Merger”), (5) immediately following the LLC Merger, the Company contributed 100% of the equity interests in L Merger Sub to OpCo in exchange for certain Opco Units (the “Contribution”), and (6) immediately following the Contribution, OpCo contributed L Merger Sub to Energy Finance. Each of these transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement and completed on the Closing Date is collectively referred to hereafter as the “Merger Transactions.” Subject to the terms and conditions within the Transaction Agreement, holders of eligible shares of Contango Common Stock received 0.20 shares of Crescent Class A common stock in exchange for each share of Contango Common Stock held.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statement (the “pro forma financial statement”) has been prepared from the respective historical consolidated financial statements of Crescent for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Contango for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 6, 2021, adjusted to give effect to the Merger Transactions. Additionally, the pro forma financial statement includes adjustments associated with the April 2021 Exchange, the Noncontrolling Interest Carve-out, the DJ Basin Acquisition, the acquisition of certain operated producing oil and natural gas properties predominately located in the Central Basin Platform in Texas and New Mexico (the “Central Basin Platform Acquisition”), the Independence Refinancing, and the February 2022 issuance of an additional $200.0 million in aggregate principal of our 7.250% senior notes due 2026 and the use of proceeds therefrom to repay amounts outstanding under our New Credit Agreement (the “Crescent Refinancing” and together with the April 2021 Exchange, the Noncontrolling Interest Carve-out, the DJ Basin Acquisition, the Central Basin Platform Acquisition, and the Independence Refinancing, the “Crescent Transactions”). Further, Contango completed the Mid-Con Acquisition, the Grizzly Acquisition, and the Wind River Basin Acquisition (collectively, the “Contango Transactions”) during the period presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations (the “pro forma statement of operations”) for the year ended December 31, 2021 gives effect to each of the Merger Transactions, the Crescent Transactions and the Contango Transactions (together with the Merger Transactions and the Crescent Transactions, the “Pro Forma Transactions”) as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2021.

The following pro forma financial statement is based on, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s historical audited combined and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The accompanying pro forma financial statement was derived by making certain transaction accounting adjustments to the historical financial statements noted above. The adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions. Therefore, the actual impact of the Pro Forma Transactions may differ from the adjustments made to the pro forma financial statement. However, management believes that the assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects for the periods presented as if the Pro Forma Transactions had been consummated earlier, and that all adjustments necessary to present fairly the pro forma financial statement have been made.

A final determination of the fair value of Contango’s assets and liabilities will be based on the actual assets and liabilities of Contango that existed as of the Closing Date and will be finalized before the end of the measurement period. The pro forma adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma financial statement presented below. Any increases or decreases in the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon completion of the final valuations will result in adjustments to the pro forma statements of operations. The final purchase price allocation may be materially different than that reflected in the pro forma purchase price allocation presented herein.

The pro forma financial statement and related notes are presented for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as an indication of the financial condition or the operating results that the Company would have achieved if the Transaction Agreement had been entered into and the Pro Forma Transactions had taken place on the assumed dates. The pro forma financial statement does not reflect future events that may occur after the consummation of the Transactions, including, but not limited to, the anticipated realization of ongoing savings from potential operating efficiencies, asset dispositions, cost savings, or economies of scale that the Company may achieve with respect to the combined operations. As a result, future results may vary significantly from the results reflected in the pro forma financial statement and should not be relied on as an indication of the future results of the Company.

Notes to unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements

NOTE 1 – Basis of pro forma presentation

The pro forma financial statement has been derived from the historical financial statements of Crescent and Contango. The pro forma statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 gives effect to the Pro Forma Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2021.

The pro forma financial statement reflects pro forma adjustments that are based on available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, actual results may differ from those reflected in these statements. In management’s opinion, all adjustments known to date that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma information have been made. The pro forma financial statement does not purport to represent what the combined entity’s financial position or results of operations would have been if the Pro Forma Transactions had actually occurred on the dates indicated above, nor are they indicative of the Company’s future financial position or results of operations.

These pro forma financial statement should be read in conjunction with the Company’s historical financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 2 – Purchase price allocation

The Merger Transactions was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations with the Company considered to be the accounting acquirer. The allocation of the purchase price for Contango was based upon management’s estimates of and assumptions related to the fair value of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed as of the Closing Date using currently available information. Because the pro forma financial statement has been prepared based on estimates, the final purchase price allocation and the resulting effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts included in this exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company expects to finalize its allocation of the purchase price during the second half of 2022.

The determination of consideration transferred, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities recorded were as follows (in thousands, except exchange ratio, share, and per share data):

Under the Transaction Agreement, Contango stockholders received 0.20 shares of Crescent Class A Common Stock for each share of Contango Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date. This resulted in the Company issuing approximately 39.8 million shares of Crescent Class A Common Stock in exchange for 199.1 million outstanding shares of Contango Common Stock and 3.3 million shares of Crescent Class A Common Stock in settlement of Contango’s equity compensation awards, a portion of which was recognized as expense in the statement of operations for the Company. As Contango Common Stock were listed and actively traded on an exchange as of the Closing Date, the trading price of Contango Common Stock was used to estimate the fair value of consideration transferred.


NOTE 3 – Adjustments to the pro forma financial statement

The pro forma financial statement has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Pro Forma Transactions and have been prepared for informational purposes only.

The following pro forma financial statement has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and allows for supplemental disclosure of the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management Adjustments”). Management has elected not to disclose Management Adjustments.

The pro forma provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had the combined company filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

The pro forma net loss per share amounts presented in the pro forma statements of operations are based upon the number of shares of Crescent Class A Common Stock and Crescent Class B Common Stock outstanding, assuming the Pro Forma Transactions occurred on January 1, 2021.

The reclassification of $8.1 million of Contango’s other operating revenues to midstream and other; and

 

   

The reclassification of $0.4 million of Contango’s gain from sale of assets within other income (expense) to (gain) loss on sale of assets within operating expenses.

Transaction Adjustments

 

(f)

Reflects the pro forma depletion expense calculated in accordance with the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas properties, which was based on the preliminary purchase price allocation.

 

(g)

Reflects the impact of the Management Compensation pursuant to the Management Agreement executed by and between the Company and Manager entered into as of December 7, 2021.

 

(h)

Reflects the impact of the Incentive Compensation pursuant to the Management Agreement executed by and between the Company and Manager on December 6, 2021.

 

(i)

Reflects the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments presented. The tax rate applied to the pro forma adjustments was the estimated combined statutory rate after the effect of noncontrolling interests of 6.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2021. The effective rate of the Company could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-Closing activities.

 

(j)

Reflects the elimination of net loss attributable to Predecessor for the period prior to the Merger Transactions as the Pro Forma Transactions are assumed to occur on January 1, 2021.

 

(k)

Reflects the impact of the issuance of Crescent Class A common stock and Class B common stock as a result of the Contango Merger and the Distribution, respectively, on the allocation of net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests and net loss attributable to the Company.

 

(l)

Reflects the impact of the recapitalization of the Company as a result of the Pro Forma Transactions on basic and diluted net loss per share.

The computation of the impact of the pro forma adjustments on the Company’s common stock outstanding and basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock is summarized below:

NOTE 4 – Supplemental pro forma oil and natural gas reserves information

Oil and natural gas reserves

The following tables present the estimated pro forma combined net proved developed and undeveloped oil, natural gas, and NGLs reserves information as of December 31, 2021 for our consolidated operations, along with a summary of changes in quantities of net remaining proved reserves for the year ended December 31, 2021 for our consolidated operations. Immaterial amounts for proved developed oil, natural gas, and NGLs of our equity affiliates totaling 3.7 MMBoe as of December 31, 2021 have been omitted from presentation below. The estimates below are in certain instances presented on a “barrels of oil equivalent or “Boe” basis. To determine Boe in the following tables, natural gas is converted to a crude oil equivalent at the ratio of six Mcf of natural gas to one barrel of crude oil equivalent.

The following estimated pro forma oil and natural gas reserves information is not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the Pro Forma Transactions been completed on January 1, 2021 and is not intended to be a projection of future results. Crescent Transaction Adjustments reflect adjustments to oil and natural gas reserves information for the Noncontrolling Interest Carve-out, the DJ Basin Acquisition, and the Central Basin Platform Acquisition (together with the DJ Basin Acquisition, the “Crescent Acquisitions”). Specifically, (i) the Crescent Acquisitions result in positive reserve additions as of December 31, 2020, with an offsetting decrease to purchases of reserves in place during the year ended December 31, 2021 and (ii) the Noncontrolling Interest Carve-out results in negative adjustments as of December 31, 2020 to account for the reduction in reserves that occurred when certain non-controlling interests in our subsidiaries were redeemed in exchange for a proportionate interest in our subsidiaries’ oil and gas properties and associated reserves. In each case these transactions resulted in corresponding adjustments to the Standardized Measure as set forth in tables further below. Contango Transaction Adjustments reflect adjustments to oil and natural gas reserves information for the Mid-Con Acquisition, the Grizzly Acquisition, and the Wind River Basin Acquisition. Each of these adjustments are further discussed within Note 3 – Adjustments to the pro forma financial statement. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected because of various factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows

The following tables present the estimated pro forma standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows (the “pro forma standardized measure”) at December 31, 2021. The pro forma standardized measure information set forth below gives effect to the Pro Forma Transactions as if they had been completed on January 1, 2021. Crescent Transaction Adjustments reflect adjustments to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows for the Noncontrolling Interest Carve-out and the Crescent Acquisitions. Contango Transaction Adjustments reflect adjustments to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows for the Mid-Con Acquisition, the Grizzly Acquisition, and the Wind River Basin Acquisition. Transaction Adjustments reflect adjustments related to the tax restructuring of the Company resulting from the Transactions. Each of these adjustments are further discussed within Note 3 – Adjustments to the pro forma financial statement. The disclosures below were determined by referencing the “Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows” reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. An explanation of the underlying methodology applied, as required by SEC regulations, can be found within the historical financial statements. The calculations assume the continuation of existing economic, operating and contractual conditions at December 31, 2021. Immaterial amounts for the pro forma standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and natural gas reserves of our equity affiliates totaling $23.2 million as of December 31, 2021 have been omitted from presentation below.

Therefore, the following estimated pro forma standardized measure is not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the Pro Forma Transactions been completed on January 1, 2021 and is not intended to be a projection of future results. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected because of various factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
