Denbury Inc. (“Denbury,” “Company” or the “Successor”), a Delaware corporation, is an independent energy company with operations focused in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. The Company is differentiated by our focus on CO2 EOR and the emerging CCUS industry, supported by the Company’s CO2 EOR technical and operational expertise and extensive CO2 pipeline infrastructure.

As further described in Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code below, Denbury Inc. became the successor reporting company of Denbury Resources Inc. (the “Predecessor”) upon the Predecessor’s emergence from bankruptcy on September 18, 2020. References to “Successor” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company subsequent to September 18, 2020, and references to “Predecessor” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company prior to, and including, September 18, 2020. On September 18, 2020, Denbury filed the Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect a change of the Company’s corporate name from Denbury Resources Inc. to Denbury Inc., and on September 21, 2020, the Successor’s new common stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol DEN.

On July 28, 2020, Denbury Resources Inc. and its subsidiaries entered into a restructuring support agreement with lenders holding 100% of the revolving loans under our pre-petition revolving bank credit facility and debtholders holding approximately 67.1% of our senior secured second lien notes and approximately 73.1% of our convertible senior notes, which contemplated a restructuring of the Company pursuant to a prepackaged joint plan of reorganization (the “Plan”). On July 30, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), Denbury Resources Inc. and its subsidiaries filed petitions for reorganization in a “prepackaged” voluntary bankruptcy (the “Chapter 11 Restructuring”) under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) under the caption “In re Denbury Resources Inc., et al., Case No. 20-33801”. On September 2, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Plan and approving the Disclosure Statement, and on September 18, 2020 (the “Emergence Date”), the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms and the Company emerged from Chapter 11. On April 23, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final decree closing the Chapter 11 case captioned “In re Denbury Resources Inc., et al., Case No. 20-33801”; therefore, we have no remaining obligations related to this reorganization.

On the Emergence Date and pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Confirmation Order, all outstanding obligations under the senior secured second lien notes, convertible senior notes, and senior subordinated notes were fully extinguished, relieving approximately $2.1 billion in aggregate principal of debt by issuing equity and/or warrants in the Successor to the former holders of that debt, and the Company:

◦Holders of secured pipeline lease claims received payment in full in cash, the collateral securing such pipeline lease claim, reinstatement, or such other treatment rendering such pipeline lease claim unimpaired (see Note 8, Long-Term Debt – Restructuring of Pipeline Financing Transactions, for discussion of subsequent pipeline transactions);

◦Issued 2,631,579 series A warrants at an exercise price of $32.59 per share to former holders of the Predecessor’s convertible senior notes and 2,894,740 series B warrants at an exercise price of $35.41 per share to former holders of the Predecessor’s senior subordinated notes and Predecessor’s equity interests; and

•Appointed a new board of directors (the “Board”) consisting of four new independent members: Anthony Abate, Caroline Angoorly, Brett Wiggs and James N. “Jim” Chapman, and three continuing members: Dr. Kevin O. Meyers (Chairman of the Board), Lynn A. Peterson and Chris Kendall, Denbury’s President and Chief Executive Officer; and

During the Predecessor period, the Company applied Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification (“FASC”) Topic 852, Reorganizations, in preparing the consolidated financial statements. FASC Topic 852 requires the financial statements, for periods subsequent to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Restructuring, to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain charges incurred during 2020 related to the Chapter 11 Restructuring, including the write-off of unamortized long-term debt fees and discounts associated with debt classified as liabilities subject to compromise, and professional fees incurred directly as a result of the Chapter 11 Restructuring are recorded as “Reorganization items, net” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in the Predecessor period. FASC Topic 852 requires certain additional reporting for financial statements prepared between the bankruptcy filing date and the date of emergence from bankruptcy, including:

The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Denbury and entities in which we hold a controlling financial interest. Undivided interests in oil and gas joint ventures are consolidated on a proportionate basis. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of certain assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. Management believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, such estimates and assumptions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from such estimates. Significant estimates underlying these financial statements include (1) the fair value of financial derivative instruments; (2) the estimated quantities of proved oil and

natural gas reserves used to compute depletion of oil and natural gas properties, the related present value of estimated future net cash flows therefrom and the ceiling test; (3) future net cash flow estimates used in the impairment assessment of long-lived assets; (4) the estimated quantities of proved and probable CO2 reserves used to compute depletion of CO2 properties; (5) estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets; (6) accruals related to oil and natural gas sales volumes and revenues, capital expenditures and lease operating expenses; (7) the estimated costs and timing of future asset retirement obligations; (8) estimates made in the calculation of income taxes; (9) estimates made in determining the fair values for purchase price allocations; and (10) fair value estimates including estimates of reorganization value, enterprise value, and the fair value of assets and liabilities recorded as a result of the adoption of fresh start accounting. While management is not aware of any significant revisions to any of its current year-end estimates, there will likely be future revisions to its estimates resulting from matters such as revisions in estimated oil and natural gas volumes, changes in ownership interests, payouts, joint venture audits, re-allocations by purchasers or pipelines, or other corrections and adjustments common in the oil and natural gas industry, many of which require retroactive application. These types of adjustments cannot be currently estimated and will be recorded in the period in which the adjustment occurs.

We have evaluated the organization and management of our business and identified only one operating segment related to our oil and natural gas operations. Management measures financial performance and makes capital allocation decisions as a single enterprise and not on a geographical or area-by-area basis. All of our operating revenues, income from operations and assets are generated in the United States.

We consider all highly liquid investments to be cash equivalents if they have maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets to “Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period” as reported within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Capitalized Costs. We follow the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all costs related to the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves are capitalized and accumulated in a single cost center representing our activities, which are undertaken exclusively in the United States. Such costs include lease acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties, costs of drilling both productive and nonproductive wells, capitalized interest on qualifying projects, and general and administrative expenses directly related to exploration and development activities, and do not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. We assign the purchase price of oil and natural gas properties we acquire to proved and unevaluated properties based on the estimated fair values as defined in the FASC Fair Value Measurement topic. Proceeds

Depletion. The costs capitalized, including production equipment and future development costs, are depleted using the unit-of-production method, based on proved oil and natural gas reserves as determined by independent petroleum engineers. Oil and natural gas reserves are converted to equivalent units on a basis of 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of crude oil.

Under full cost accounting, we may exclude certain unevaluated costs from the amortization base pending determination of whether proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. The costs classified as unevaluated are transferred to the full cost amortization base as the properties are developed, tested and evaluated. At least annually, we test these assets for impairment based on an evaluation of management’s expectations of future pricing, evaluation of lease expiration terms, and planned project development activities. As a result of this analysis, we recognized impairments of our unevaluated costs totaling $18.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, whereby these costs were transferred to the full cost amortization base. Given the significant declines in NYMEX oil prices in March and April 2020 due to the oil supply and demand imbalance precipitated by the dramatic fall in demand associated with the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic combined with the concurrent OPEC+ decision to increase oil supply, we reassessed our development plans and transferred $244.9 million of our unevaluated costs to the full cost pool during the Predecessor period from January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020. Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh start accounting which resulted in our oil and natural gas properties, including unevaluated properties, being recorded at their fair values at the Emergence Date (see Note 2, Fresh Start Accounting, for additional information).

Write-Down of Oil and Natural Gas Properties. The net capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties are limited to the lower of unamortized cost or the cost center ceiling. The cost center ceiling is defined as (1) the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves before future abandonment costs (discounted at 10%), based on the average first-day-of-the-month oil and natural gas price for each month during a 12-month rolling period prior to the end of a particular reporting period; plus (2) the cost of properties not being amortized; plus (3) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, if any; less (4) related income tax effects. Our future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves are not reduced for development costs related to the cost of drilling for and developing CO2 reserves nor those related to the cost of constructing CO2 pipelines, as we do not have to incur additional CO2 capital costs to develop the proved oil and natural gas reserves. Therefore, we include in the ceiling test, as a reduction of future net revenues, that portion of our capitalized CO2 costs related to CO2 reserves and CO2 pipelines that we estimate will be consumed in the process of producing our proved oil and natural gas reserves. The fair value of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts is not included in the ceiling test, as we do not designate these contracts as hedge instruments for accounting purposes. The cost center ceiling test is prepared quarterly.

The average first-day-of-the-month NYMEX oil price used in estimating our proved reserves, after adjustments for market differentials and transportation expenses by field, was $63.86 at December 31, 2021, $35.84 at December 31, 2020, $40.08 at September 18, 2020, and $55.55 at December 31, 2019. We recognized a full cost pool ceiling test write-down of $14.4 million during the first quarter of 2021, with first-day-of-the-month NYMEX oil prices for the preceding 12 months averaging $36.40 per Bbl, after adjustments for market differentials and transportation expenses by field. The write-down was primarily a result of the March 2021 acquisition of Wyoming property interests (see Note 3, Acquisition and Divestitures) which was recorded based on a valuation that utilized NYMEX strip oil prices at the acquisition date, which were significantly higher than the average first-day-of-the-month NYMEX oil prices used to value the cost ceiling. Primarily as a result of the commodity price declines during 2020, the Predecessor recognized full cost pool ceiling test write-downs of $996.7 million during the period from January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020, and an additional full cost pool ceiling test write-down of $1.0 million was recognized during the Successor period from September 19, 2020 through December 31, 2020. We did not record any ceiling test write-downs during the 2019 Predecessor period.

Tertiary Injection Costs. Our tertiary operations are conducted in reservoirs that have already produced significant amounts of oil over many years; however, in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations for recording proved reserves, we cannot recognize proved reserves associated with enhanced recovery techniques, such as CO2 injection, until we can demonstrate production resulting from the tertiary process or unless the field is analogous to an existing flood.

We capitalize, as a development cost, injection costs in fields that are in their development stage, which means we have not yet seen incremental oil production due to the CO2 injections (i.e., a production response). These capitalized development costs are included in our unevaluated property costs until we are able to recognize proved reserves associated with the development project. After we see a production response to the CO2 injections (i.e., the production stage), injection costs are expensed as incurred, and any previously deferred unevaluated development costs become subject to depletion.

We own and produce CO2 reserves, a non-hydrocarbon resource, that are used in our tertiary oil recovery operations on our own behalf and on behalf of other interest owners in enhanced recovery fields, with a portion sold to third-party industrial users. We record revenue from our sales of CO2 to third parties when it is produced and sold. Expenses related to the production of CO2 are allocated between volumes sold to third parties and volumes consumed internally that are directly related to our tertiary production. The expenses related to third-party sales are recorded in “CO2 operating and discovery expenses,” and the expenses related to internal use are recorded in “Lease operating expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations or are capitalized as oil and natural gas properties in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, depending on the stage of the tertiary flood that is receiving the CO2 (see Tertiary Injection Costs above for further discussion).

Costs incurred to search for CO2 are expensed as incurred until proved or probable reserves are established. Once proved or probable reserves are established, costs incurred to obtain those reserves are capitalized and classified as “CO2 properties” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Capitalized CO2 costs are aggregated by geologic formation and depleted on a unit-of-production basis over proved and probable reserves.

CO2 used in our tertiary floods is transported to our fields through CO2 pipelines. Costs of CO2 pipelines under construction are not depreciated until the pipelines are placed into service. Pipelines are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 20 to 50 years. Capitalized costs include $22.4 million of CO2 pipelines as of December 31, 2021, that were either under construction or had not been placed into service and therefore, were not subject to depreciation during 2021.

Other property and equipment, which includes furniture and fixtures, vehicles, and computer equipment and software, is depreciated principally on a straight-line basis over each asset’s estimated useful life. Vehicles are generally depreciated over a useful life of one to five years, furniture and fixtures over a life of one to ten years, and computer equipment and software are generally depreciated over a useful life of one to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the remaining lease term.

Our intangible assets subject to amortization represent amounts assigned in fresh start accounting to long-term contracts to sell CO2 to industrial customers. We amortize the CO2 contract intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from seven to 14 years. Total amortization expense for our intangible assets was $9.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, $2.7 million during the Successor period September 19, 2020 through December 31, 2020,

We test long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. These long-lived assets, which are not subject to our full cost pool ceiling test, are principally comprised of our capitalized CO2 properties and pipelines, and for the Successor period also included long-term contracts to sell CO2 to industrial customers.

We perform our long-lived asset impairment test by comparing the net carrying costs of our long-lived asset groups to the respective expected future undiscounted net cash flows that are supported by these long-lived assets which include production of our probable and possible oil and natural gas reserves. The portion of our capitalized CO2 costs related to CO2 reserves and CO2 pipelines that we estimate will be consumed in the process of producing our proved oil and natural gas reserves is included in the full cost pool ceiling test as a reduction to future net revenues. The remaining net capitalized costs that are not included in the full cost pool ceiling test, and related intangible assets, are subject to long-lived asset impairment testing. If the undiscounted net cash flows are below the net carrying costs for an asset group, we must record an impairment loss by the amount, if any, that net carrying costs exceed the fair value of the long-lived asset group. We did not record an impairment of long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2021, 2020 or 2019.

In general, our future asset retirement obligations relate to future costs associated with plugging and abandoning our oil, natural gas and CO2 wells, removing equipment and facilities from leased acreage, and returning land to its original condition. The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recorded in the period in which it is incurred, discounted to its present value using our credit-adjusted-risk-free interest rate, and a corresponding amount capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Revisions to estimated retirement obligations will result in an adjustment to the related capitalized asset and corresponding liability. If the liability for an oil or natural gas well is settled for an amount other than the recorded amount, the difference is recorded to the full cost pool.

Asset retirement obligations are estimated at the present value of expected future net cash flows. We utilize unobservable inputs in the estimation of asset retirement obligations that include, but are not limited to, costs of labor and materials, profits on costs of labor and materials, the effect of inflation on estimated costs, and the discount rate. Accordingly, asset retirement obligations are considered a Level 3 measurement under the FASC Fair Value Measurement topic.

We utilize oil and natural gas derivative contracts to mitigate our exposure to commodity price risk associated with our future oil and natural gas production. These derivative contracts have historically consisted of options, in the form of price floors, collars, three-way collars, fixed-price swaps, fixed-price swaps enhanced with a sold put, and basis swaps. Our derivative financial instruments, other than any derivative instruments that are designated under the “normal purchase normal sale” exclusion, are recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at fair value. We do not apply hedge accounting to our commodity derivative contracts; accordingly, changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized in “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period of change.

Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, trade and accrued production receivables, and the derivative instruments discussed above. Our cash equivalents represent high-quality securities placed with various investment-grade institutions. This investment practice limits our exposure to concentrations of credit risk. Our trade and accrued production receivables are dispersed among various customers and purchasers; therefore, concentrations of credit risk are limited. We evaluate the credit ratings of our purchasers, and if customers are considered a credit risk, letters of credit are the primary security obtained to support lines of credit. We attempt to minimize our credit risk exposure to the counterparties of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts through formal credit policies, monitoring procedures and diversification. All of our derivative contracts are with parties that are lenders under our senior secured bank credit facility (or affiliates of such lenders). There are no margin requirements with the counterparties of our derivative contracts.

Oil and natural gas sales are made on a day-to-day basis or under short-term contracts at the current area market price. We would not expect the loss of any purchaser to have a material adverse effect upon our operations. For the year ended December 31, 2021 (Successor), four purchasers each accounted for 10% or more of our oil and natural gas revenues: Plains Marketing LP (28%), Hunt Crude Oil Supply Company (12%), Marathon Petroleum (11%) and Sunoco Inc. (11%). For the Successor period September 19, 2020 through December 31, 2020, three purchasers each accounted for 10% or more of our oil and natural gas revenues: Plains Marketing LP (30%), Marathon Petroleum (13%) and Hunt Crude Oil Supply Company (12%), and for the Predecessor period January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020, three purchasers each accounted for 10% or more of our oil and natural gas revenues: Plains Marketing LP (30%), Hunt Crude Oil Supply Company (12%) and Marathon Petroleum (12%). For the year ended December 31, 2019 (Predecessor), three purchasers each accounted for 10% or more of our oil and natural gas revenues: Plains Marketing LP (32%), Hunt Crude Oil Supply Company (11%) and Sunoco Inc. (11%).

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method, under which deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities using the enacted statutory tax rates in effect at year end. The effect on deferred taxes for a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated in the same manner but includes the impact of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities during the Successor periods consist of nonvested restricted stock units, nonvested performance stock units, and outstanding series A and series B warrants, and during the Predecessor periods consisted of nonvested restricted stock, nonvested performance-based equity awards, and convertible senior notes.

(1)For the year ended December 31, 2019, shares shown under “convertible senior notes” represent the prorated portion of the approximately 90.9 million shares of the Predecessor’s common stock issuable upon full conversion of the convertible senior notes which were issued on June 19, 2019 (see Note 8, Long-Term Debt – 2019 Predecessor Debt Reduction Transactions).

For each of the periods from September 19, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (Successor) and from January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020 (Predecessor), the weighted average common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share were the same, since the Company generated a net loss during those periods. The weighted average diluted shares outstanding would have been 50.0 million for the period September 19, 2020 through December 31, 2020 and 584.4 million for the period January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020, if the Company had recognized net income during those periods.

Basic weighted average common shares during the year ended December 31, 2021 includes 1,383,144 performance-based and restricted stock units which are fully vested as of December 31, 2021. Although vesting criteria for these awards have been achieved, the shares underlying these awards are not currently outstanding as actual delivery of the shares is not scheduled to occur until December 4, 2023. During the Predecessor periods, basic weighted average common shares includes restricted stock that vested during the periods.

For the period September 19, 2020 through December 31, 2020, the Company’s restricted stock units and series A and series B warrants were antidilutive based on the Company’s net loss position for the periods. At December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately 5.2 million warrants outstanding that can be exercised for shares of the Successor’s common stock, at an exercise price of $32.59 per share for the 2.6 million series A warrants outstanding and at an exercise price of $35.41 per share for the 2.6 million series B warrants outstanding. The series A warrants are exercisable until September 18, 2025, and the series B warrants are exercisable until September 18, 2023, at which time the warrants expire. The warrants were issued pursuant to the Plan to holders of the Predecessor’s convertible senior notes, senior subordinated notes, and equity. As of December 31, 2021, 11,694 series A warrants and 327,266 series B warrants have been exercised in exchange for a total of 193,657 shares. The warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis.

The Company makes judgments and estimates in recording liabilities for contingencies such as environmental remediation or ongoing litigation. Liabilities are recorded when it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and such loss is reasonably estimable. Assessments of liabilities are based on information obtained from independent and in-house experts, loss experience in similar situations, actual costs incurred, and other case-by-case factors. Any related insurance recoveries are recognized in our financial statements during the period received or at the time receipt is determined to be virtually certain.

Income Taxes. In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). The objective of ASU 2019-12 is to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and to provide more consistent application to improve the comparability of financial statements. Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted ASU 2019-02. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures.
