Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Nature of Operations

Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation (the “Company” or “Magnolia”) is an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the acquisition, development, exploration, and production of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquid (“NGL”) reserves. The Company’s oil and natural gas properties are located primarily in the Karnes and Giddings areas in South Texas where the Company targets the Eagle Ford Shale and Austin Chalk formations. Magnolia’s objective is to generate stock market value over the long-term through consistent organic production growth, high full cycle operating margins, an efficient capital program with short economic paybacks, significant free cash flow after capital expenditures, and effective reinvestment of free cash flow.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain disclosures normally included in an Annual Report on Form 10-K have been omitted. The consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes to the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments and accruals considered necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s interim financial results have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances. The Company’s interests in oil and natural gas exploration and production ventures and partnerships are proportionately consolidated. The Company reflects a noncontrolling interest representing the interest owned by the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders through their ownership of Magnolia LLC Units in the consolidated financial statements. The noncontrolling interest is presented as a component of equity. See Note 10—Stockholders’ Equity for further discussion of the noncontrolling interest.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
    
As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s significant accounting policies are consistent with those discussed in Note 1—Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of its consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that ASU 2023-09 will have on its financial statement disclosures.

3. Revenue Recognition

Magnolia’s revenues include the sale of crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs. The Company has concluded that disaggregating revenue by product type appropriately depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors and has reflected this disaggregation of revenue on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The Company’s receivables consist mainly of trade receivables from commodity sales and joint interest billings due from owners on properties the Company operates. Receivables from contracts with customers totaled $115.1 million as of September 30, 2024 and $124.4 million as of December 31, 2023. For further detail regarding the Company’s revenue recognition policies, please refer to Note 1—Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.

4. Acquisitions

2024 Acquisitions

In April 2024, the Company acquired certain oil and gas producing properties, including leasehold and mineral interests, in the Giddings area for approximately $125.0 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition and was funded with cash on hand.

2023 Acquisitions

In November 2023, the Company acquired certain oil and gas producing properties, including leasehold and mineral interests, in the Giddings area for $264.1 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The seller may also receive up to a maximum of $40.0 million in additional contingent cash consideration through January 2026 based on future commodity prices. For more information regarding the contingent consideration, refer to Note 5—Fair Value Measurements.

In July 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of certain oil and natural gas assets located in the Giddings area for $41.8 million.

The Company accounted for the aforementioned acquisitions as asset acquisitions.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are carried at fair value and measured either on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The Company’s fair value measurements are based either on actual market data or assumptions that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in an orderly transaction, using the valuation hierarchy prescribed by GAAP under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments at the measurement date are used.

Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the investment, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 pricing inputs include quoted prices for similar investments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the investment, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 - Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs used in determination of fair value require significant judgment and estimation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value and fair value of the financial instrument that is not carried at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:
September 30, 2024December 31, 2023
(In thousands)Carrying Value Fair ValueCarrying Value Fair Value
 Long-term debt$394,793 $399,312 $392,839 $394,356 
The fair value of the 2026 Senior Notes at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is based on unadjusted quoted prices in an active market, which is considered a Level 1 input in the fair value hierarchy.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements

In November 2023, the Company acquired certain oil and gas producing properties, including leasehold and mineral interests, in the Giddings area. As part of this transaction, the seller may receive up to $40.0 million in contingent cash consideration based on future commodity prices. The contingent consideration is payable in three tranches based on average NYMEX WTI prices for (i) the period beginning July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, (ii) the year ending December 31, 2024, and (iii) the year ending December 31, 2025. The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated using observable market data (NYMEX WTI forward price curve) and Monte Carlo simulation models, which are considered Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
7

The fair value of the contingent consideration was $7.8 million and $14.3 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The current portion of the liability included in “Other current liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $2.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The long-term portion of the liability included in “Other long-term liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $5.4 million and $7.6 million, respectively.

The first tranche was settled for $2.7 million in January 2024. The Company recognized a gain of $7.0 million on the revaluation of the remaining tranches for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and a gain of $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Gains and losses on revaluation are included in “Other income (expense), net” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has other financial instruments consisting primarily of receivables, payables, and other current assets and liabilities that approximate fair value due to the nature of the instruments and their relatively short maturities. Non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value include assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations and asset retirement obligations.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Specifically, stock based compensation is not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but is subject to fair value calculations in certain circumstances. For further detail, see Note 11—Stock Based Compensation in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. There were no other material nonrecurring fair value measurements as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Credit Facility

The original RBL Facility was entered into by and among Magnolia Operating, as borrower, Magnolia Intermediate, as its holding company, the banks, financial institutions, and other lending institutions from time to time party thereto, as lenders, the other parties from time to time party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent, issuing bank, and swingline lender. On February 16, 2022, Magnolia Operating, as borrower, amended and restated the RBL Facility in its entirety, providing for maximum commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion with a letter of credit facility with a $50.0 million sublimit, with a borrowing base of $450.0 million. The RBL Facility, maturing in February 2026, is guaranteed by certain parent companies and subsidiaries of Magnolia LLC and is collateralized by certain of Magnolia Operating’s oil and natural gas properties. The Company expects to opportunistically refinance the RBL Facility prior to its maturity date.

Borrowings under the RBL Facility bear interest, at Magnolia Operating’s option, at a rate per annum equal to either the term SOFR rate or the alternative base rate plus the applicable margin. Additionally, Magnolia Operating is required to pay a commitment
8

fee quarterly in arrears in respect of unused commitments under the RBL Facility. The applicable margin and the commitment fee rate are calculated based upon the utilization levels of the RBL Facility as a percentage of unused lender commitments then in effect.

The RBL Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type, including compliance with a leverage ratio of less than 3.50 to 1.00 and a current ratio of greater than 1.00 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the RBL Facility.

Deferred financing costs in connection with the RBL Facility are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of four years from February 2022 to February 2026 and included in “Interest income (expense), net” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized interest expense related to the RBL Facility of $1.1 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $3.1 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The unamortized portion of the deferred financing costs is included in “Deferred financing costs, net” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The Company did not have any outstanding borrowings under the RBL Facility as of September 30, 2024.

2026 Senior Notes

On July 31, 2018, the Issuers issued and sold $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Senior Notes in a private placement under Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 2026 Senior Notes were issued under the Indenture, dated as of July 31, 2018 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuers and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee. On April 5, 2021, the terms of the Indenture were amended to modify, among other things, the criteria used by the Company to make Restricted Payments (as defined in the Indenture). The 2026 Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company, Magnolia Operating, and Magnolia Intermediate and may be guaranteed by certain future subsidiaries of the Company. The 2026 Senior Notes will mature on August 1, 2026 and bear interest at the rate of 6.0% per annum. The Company expects to opportunistically refinance the 2026 Senior Notes prior to their maturity date.

Deferred financing costs related to the issuance of, and the amendment to the Indenture governing, the 2026 Senior Notes are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the 2026 Senior Notes and are included in “Interest income (expense), net” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The unamortized portion of the deferred financing costs is included as a reduction to the carrying value of the 2026 Senior Notes, which has been recorded as “Long-term debt, net” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company recognized interest expense related to the 2026 Senior Notes of $6.7 million and $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $20.0 million and $19.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

At any time, the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the 2026 Senior Notes based on principal plus a set premium, as set forth in the Indenture, including any accrued and unpaid interest.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is or may become involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business.

Certain of the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders and EnerVest Energy Institutional Fund XIV-C, L.P. (collectively the “Co-Defendants”) and the Company have been named as defendants in a lawsuit where the plaintiffs claim to be entitled to a minority working interest in certain Karnes County Assets. The litigation is in the pre-trial stage. The exposure related to this litigation is currently not reasonably estimable. The Co-Defendants retain all such liability.

A mineral owner in a Magnolia operated well in Karnes County, Texas filed a complaint with the Texas Railroad Commission (the “Commission”) challenging the validity of the permit to drill such well by questioning the long-standing process by which the Commission granted the permit. After the Commission affirmed the granting of the permit, and after judicial review of the Commission’s order by the 53rd Judicial District Court Travis County, Texas (the “District Court”), the District Court reversed and remanded the Commission’s order. Upon appeal to the Third Court of Appeals in Austin, Texas (the “Court of Appeals”), the Court of Appeals reversed in part and affirmed in part the District Court’s ruling and remanded the matter to the Commission. The plaintiffs filed a petition for review with the Supreme Court of Texas in late 2023.

9

Matters that are probable of unfavorable outcome to Magnolia and which can be reasonably estimated are accrued. Such accruals are based on information known about the matters, Magnolia’s estimates of the outcomes of such matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. The Company does not believe the outcome of any such disputes or legal actions will have a material effect on its consolidated statements of operations, balance sheet, or cash flows after consideration of recorded accruals. Actual amounts could differ materially from management’s estimates.

Environmental Matters

The Company, as an owner or lessee and operator of oil and natural gas properties, is subject to various federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to discharge of materials into, and the protection of, the environment. These laws and regulations may, among other things, impose liability on a lessee under an oil and natural gas lease for the cost of pollution clean-up resulting from operations and subject the lessee to liability for pollution damages. In some instances, the Company may be directed to suspend or cease operations in an affected area. The Company maintains insurance coverage, which it believes is customary in the industry, although the Company is not fully insured against all environmental risks.

9. Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provision consists of the following components:

Income tax expense$26,530 $31,211 $73,634 $75,663 

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax and margin tax in the state of Texas. The Company estimates its annual effective tax rate in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 20.0% and 21.0%, respectively, and 19.3% and 18.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The primary differences between the annual effective tax rate and the statutory rate of 21.0% are income attributable to noncontrolling interest, state taxes, tax credits generated, and changes in valuation allowances.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company does not have any significant liabilities for uncertain tax positions during the next 12 months. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, no significant amounts were incurred for interest and penalties. Currently, the Company is not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals, or a material deviation from its position.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders redeemed 12.8 million Magnolia LLC Units (and a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock) for an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock and subsequently sold these shares to the public. Magnolia did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock by the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders. The redemption and exchange of these Magnolia LLC Units increased Magnolia’s tax basis in Magnolia LLC. The Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $71.0 million related to this additional tax basis in Magnolia LLC Units with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s total gross deferred tax assets were $105.3 million. Management assessed whether it is more-likely-than-not that it will generate sufficient taxable income to realize its deferred income tax assets, including the investment in partnership and net operating loss carryforwards. In making this determination, the Company considered all available positive and negative evidence and made certain assumptions. The Company considered, among other things, the overall business environment, its historical earnings and losses, current industry trends, and its outlook for future years. As of September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $5.8 million to offset the deferred tax asset created by the tax capital loss attributable to the sale of the Company’s interest in Highlander.
10

On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted legislation referred to as the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”), which significantly changes U.S. corporate income tax laws and is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. These changes include, among others, a new 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on adjusted financial statement income of corporations with profits over $1 billion, a 1% excise tax on stock buybacks, and various tax incentives for energy and climate initiatives. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all applicable provisions of the IRA, including the excise tax on stock buybacks. The Company is currently not subject to the corporate alternative minimum tax. The stock buyback excise tax did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the impacts of the IRA in future tax years.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

Class A Common Stock

At September 30, 2024, there were 228.1 million shares of Class A Common Stock issued and 191.5 million shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. The holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters and are entitled one vote for each share held. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, which results in the holders of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding common shares being able to elect all of the directors. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Class A Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The holders of the Class A Common Stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no sinking fund provisions applicable to such shares.

Class B Common Stock

At September 30, 2024, there were 5.5 million shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding. Holders of Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class with holders of Class A Common Stock on all matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The holders of Class B Common Stock generally have the right to exchange all or a portion of their shares of Class B Common Stock, together with an equal number of Magnolia LLC Units, for the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock or, at Magnolia LLC’s option, an equivalent amount of cash. Upon the future redemption or exchange of Magnolia LLC Units held by any holder of Class B Common Stock, a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by such holder of Class B Common Stock will be canceled. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Magnolia LLC, the holders of the Class B Common Stock, through their ownership of Magnolia LLC Units, are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of units of Magnolia LLC, if any, having preference over the common units. The holders of the Class B Common Stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no sinking fund provisions applicable to such shares.

Share Repurchases

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s board of directors had authorized a share repurchase program of up to 40.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock. In addition, the Company may repurchase shares pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which would permit the Company to repurchase shares at times that may otherwise be prohibited under the Company’s insider trading policy. The share repurchase program does not require purchases to be made within a particular time frame. The Company had repurchased 36.1 million shares under the program at a cost of $652.0 million and had 3.9 million shares of Class A Common Stock remaining under its share repurchase authorization as of September 30, 2024.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Magnolia LLC repurchased and subsequently canceled 3.5 million Magnolia LLC Units with an equal number of shares of corresponding Class B Common Stock for $89.7 million of cash consideration (the “Class B Common Stock Repurchases”). Magnolia funded the Class B Common Stock Repurchases with cash on hand. During the same period, the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders redeemed 12.8 million Magnolia LLC Units (and a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock) for an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock and subsequently sold these shares to the public. Magnolia did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock by the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders.

Dividends and Distributions

The Company’s board of directors periodically declares dividends payable on issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, and a corresponding distribution from Magnolia LLC to Magnolia LLC Unit Holders. Dividends in excess of retained earnings are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital and distributions to the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders are recorded as a reduction of noncontrolling interest.

11

The following table sets forth information with respect to cash dividends and distributions declared by the Company’s board of directors during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, on its own behalf and in its capacity as the managing member of Magnolia LLC, on issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Magnolia LLC Units:

Noncontrolling Interest

Noncontrolling interest in Magnolia’s consolidated subsidiaries includes amounts attributable to Magnolia LLC Units that were issued to the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders. The noncontrolling interest percentage is affected by various equity transactions such as issuances and repurchases of Class A Common Stock, the exchange of Class B Common Stock (and corresponding Magnolia LLC Units) for Class A Common Stock, or the cancellation of Class B Common Stock (and corresponding Magnolia LLC Units). As of September 30, 2024, Magnolia owned approximately 97.2% of the interest in Magnolia LLC and the noncontrolling interest was approximately 2.8%.

Highlander was a joint venture whereby MGY Louisiana LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnolia Operating, held approximately 84.7% of the units of Highlander, with the remaining 15.3% attributable to noncontrolling interest. On May 30, 2023, the Company sold its interest in Highlander and recognized a gain of $3.9 million included within “Other income (expense), net” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

11. Stock Based Compensation

The Company’s board of directors adopted the “Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan” (as amended, the “Plan”), effective as of July 17, 2018. A total of 16.8 million shares of Class A Common Stock have been authorized for issuance under the Plan as of September 30, 2024. The Company grants stock based compensation awards in the form of restricted stock units (“RSU”), performance restricted stock units (“PRSU”), and performance stock units (“PSU”) to eligible employees and directors to enhance the Company and its affiliates’ ability to attract, retain, and motivate persons who make important contributions to the Company and its affiliates by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities. Shares issued as a result of awards granted under the Plan are generally new shares of Class A Common Stock.

Stock based compensation expense is recognized net of forfeitures within “General and administrative expenses” and “Lease operating expenses” on the consolidated statements of operations and was $4.7 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $14.2 million and $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures of awards granted under the Plan as they occur in determining compensation expense. The total income tax benefit recognized for stock that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $5.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively.

The weighted average grant date fair values of the RSUs, PRSUs, and PSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $22.80, $22.28, and $24.69 per share, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants service-based RSU awards to employees, which generally vest and settle ratably over a three-year or four-year service period, and to non-employee directors, which vest in full after one year. Non-employee directors may elect to defer the RSU settlement date. RSUs represent the right to receive shares of Class A Common Stock at the end of the vesting period equal to the number of RSUs that vest. RSUs are subject to restrictions on transfer and are generally subject to a risk of forfeiture if the award recipient ceases to be an employee or director of the Company prior to vesting of the award. Compensation expense for the service-based RSU awards is based upon the grant date market value of the award and such costs are recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award, as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards. The aggregate fair value of RSUs that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $11.5 million and $8.7 million, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs as of September 30, 2024 was $23.4 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

Performance Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units

The Company grants PRSUs to certain employees. Each PRSU represents the contingent right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock once the PRSU is both vested and earned. PRSUs generally vest and settle either ratably over a three-year service period or at the end of a three-year service period, in each case, subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date. Each PRSU is earned based on whether Magnolia’s stock price achieves a target average stock price for any 20 consecutive trading days during the five-year performance period (“Performance Condition”). If PRSUs are not earned by the end of the five-year performance period, the PRSUs will be forfeited and no shares of Class A Common Stock will be issued, even if the vesting conditions have been met. Compensation expense for the PRSU awards is based upon grant date fair market value of the award, calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation, as presented below, and such costs are recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award, as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards, as applicable. The aggregate fair value of PRSUs that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $15.1 million and $7.1 million, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested PRSUs as of September 30, 2024 was $0.8 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of 0.7 years.

The Company grants PSUs to certain employees. Each PSU, to the extent earned, represents the contingent right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock and the awardee may earn between zero and 150% of the target number of PSUs granted based on the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of the Class A Common Stock relative to the TSR achieved by a specific industry peer group over a three-year performance period. In addition to the TSR conditions, vesting of the PSUs is subject to the awardee’s continued employment through the date of settlement of the PSUs, which will occur within 60 days following the end of the performance period. The aggregate fair value of PSUs that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $0.1 million and $6.7 million, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested PSUs as of September 30, 2024 was $8.3 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

12. Earnings Per Share

The Company’s unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are deemed participating securities, and therefore dividends and net income allocated to such awards have been deducted from earnings in computing basic and diluted net income per share under the two-class method. Diluted net income per share attributable to Class A Common Stock is calculated under both the two-class method and the treasury stock method and the more dilutive of the two calculations is presented.

The components of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to Class A Common Stock are as follows:

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated by reference in this report, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected revenues, projected costs, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” or “continue” or similar terminology. Although Magnolia believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations include, but are not limited to, Magnolia’s assumptions about:

•legislative, regulatory, or policy changes, including those following the change in presidential administrations;

•the market prices of oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”), and other products or services;

•the supply and demand for oil, natural gas, NGLs, and other products or services, including impacts of actions taken by OPEC and other state-controlled oil companies;

•production and reserve levels;

•the timing and extent of the Company’s success in discovering, developing, producing and estimating reserves;

•geopolitical and business conditions in key regions of the world;

•drilling risks;

•economic and competitive conditions;

•the availability of capital resources;

15

•capital expenditures and other contractual obligations;

•weather conditions;

•inflation rates;

•the availability of goods and services;

•cyber attacks;

•the occurrence of property acquisitions or divestitures;

•the integration of acquisitions; and

•the securities or capital markets and related risks such as general credit, liquidity, market, and interest-rate risks.

All of Magnolia’s forward-looking information is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expected. Although it is not possible to identify all factors, these risks and uncertainties include the risk factors and the timing of any of those risk factors identified in the reports that the Company has filed and may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”).

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto.

Overview 

Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation (the “Company” or “Magnolia”) is an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the acquisition, development, exploration, and production of oil, natural gas, and NGL reserves that operates in one reportable segment located in the United States. The Company’s oil and natural gas properties are located primarily in the Karnes and Giddings areas in South Texas, where the Company targets the Eagle Ford Shale and the Austin Chalk formations. Magnolia’s objective is to generate stock market value over the long term through consistent organic production growth, high full cycle operating margins, an efficient capital program with short economic paybacks, significant free cash flow after capital expenditures, and effective reinvestment of free cash flow. The Company’s allocation of capital prioritizes reinvesting in its business to achieve moderate and predictable annual volume growth and remains balanced with returning capital to its shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

Magnolia’s business model prioritizes prudent and disciplined capital allocation, free cash flow, and financial stability. The Company’s ongoing plan is to spend within cash flow on drilling and completing wells while maintaining low financial leverage. The Company’s gradual and measured approach toward the development of the Giddings area has created operating efficiencies leading to higher production.

Market Conditions Update

Commodity prices experienced significant volatility in recent years, impacted by the Russia-Ukraine war, actions taken by OPEC, and the continued instability and conflict in the Middle East. Global conflict and supply chain disruptions drove high oil and natural gas prices in 2022. Beginning in 2023, due to the easing of global geopolitically driven supply fears along with record high US production, natural gas and NGL prices significantly declined and oil prices weakened. While material and labor costs have flattened, this decline in prices has resulted in lower operating margins. In 2024, despite continued commodity price volatility, lower well costs combined with improved operating efficiencies are allowing for more wells to be drilled, completed, and turned in line helping to support Magnolia's overall high-margin growth from a disciplined capital program.

Business Overview

As of September 30, 2024, Magnolia’s assets in South Texas included 77,278 gross (55,286 net) acres in the Karnes area, and 748,547 gross (554,871 net) acres in the Giddings area. As of September 30, 2024, Magnolia held an interest in approximately 2,647 gross (1,798 net) wells, with total production of 90.7 thousand and 88.6 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

16

Magnolia recognized net income attributable to Class A Common Stock of $99.8 million and $280.4 million, or $0.52 and $1.50 per diluted common share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Magnolia recognized net income of $105.9 million and $308.6 million, which includes a noncontrolling interest of $6.1 million and $28.2 million related to the Magnolia LLC Units (and corresponding shares of Class B Common Stock) held by certain affiliates of EnerVest, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company declared cash dividends to holders of its Class A Common Stock totaling $72.5 million.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s board of directors had authorized a share repurchase program of up to 40.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock. The program does not require purchases to be made within a particular time frame. The Company had repurchased 36.1 million shares under the program at a cost of $652.0 million and had 3.9 million shares of Class A Common Stock remaining under its share repurchase authorization as of September 30, 2024.

As of September 30, 2024, Magnolia owned approximately 97.2% of the interest in Magnolia LLC and the noncontrolling interest was approximately 2.8%.

Results of Operations

Factors Affecting the Comparability of the Historical Financial Results

Magnolia’s historical financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented may not be comparable, either from period to period or going forward, as a result of the Company’s acquisition in November 2023 of certain oil and gas producing properties including leasehold and mineral interests in the Giddings area for approximately $264.1 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments, and an additional contingent cash consideration of up to $40.0 million through January 2026 based on future commodity prices.

As a result of the factors listed above, the historical results of operations and period-to-period comparisons of these results and certain financial data may not be comparable or indicative of future results.

Oil revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $22.1 million higher than for the three months ended September 30, 2023 caused by an 18% increase in oil production that increased revenues by $41.2 million, partially offset by an 8% decrease in average prices that decreased revenues by $19.1 million. Oil revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $94.3 million higher than for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 caused by a 12% increase in oil production that increased revenues by $84.4 million and a 1% increase in average prices that increased revenues by $9.9 million.

Natural gas revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $4.9 million lower than the three months ended September 30, 2023 caused by a 19% decrease in average prices that decreased revenues by $5.3 million, partially offset by a 2% increase in natural gas production which increased revenues by $0.4 million. Natural gas revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $13.8 million lower than the nine months ended September 30, 2023 caused by a 23% decrease in average prices that decreased revenues by $17.4 million, partially offset by a 6% increase in natural gas production which increased revenues by $3.6 million. The realized revenue pricing included the impact of gas plant fees that were netted from revenue.

NGL revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $0.2 million higher than the three months ended September 30, 2023 caused by a 7% increase in NGL production that increased revenues by $2.8 million, partially offset by a 6% decrease in average prices that decreased revenues by $2.6 million. NGL revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $4.4 million higher than the nine months ended September 30, 2023 caused by a 9% increase in NGL production which increased revenues by $10.6 million, partially offset by a 5% decrease in average prices that decreased revenues by $6.2 million.

Lease operating expenses are costs incurred in the operation of producing properties, including expenses for utilities, direct labor, water disposal, workover rigs, workover expenses, materials, and supplies. Lease operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $8.6 million, or $0.61 per boe, higher compared to the corresponding 2023 period. Lease operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $19.9 million, or $0.38 per boe, higher compared to the corresponding 2023
19

period. The increases in both periods were due to an increase in chemicals, compression, operating and maintenance costs and payroll expense associated with higher well count and higher workover activity.

Gathering, transportation and processing costs are costs incurred to deliver oil, natural gas, and NGLs to the market. These expenses can vary based on the volume of oil, natural gas, and NGLs produced as well as the cost of commodity processing. The Company is also party to a number of percent-of-proceeds arrangements that track closely to natural gas and NGL pricing and affect the cost of commodity processing. The gathering, transportation and processing costs for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $0.4 million higher, but $0.07 per boe lower, than the three months ended September 30, 2023. Gathering, transportation and processing costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $5.8 million, or $0.37 per boe, lower than the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The changes in both periods were primarily due to a change in volumes sold under a percent-of-proceeds arrangement, lower natural gas and NGL pricing, and other contractual changes. Costs decreased on a per boe basis due to increased production.

Taxes other than income include production, ad valorem, and franchise taxes. These taxes are based on rates primarily established by state and local taxing authorities. Production taxes are based on the market value of production. Ad valorem taxes are based on the fair market value of the mineral interests or business assets. Taxes other than income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $3.4 million, or $0.24 per boe, higher compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Taxes other than income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $6.7 million, or $0.09 per boe, higher compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in both periods was primarily due to an increase in production taxes as a result of the increase in oil and NGL revenues, which was partially offset by the decrease in natural gas revenues.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) during the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $26.2 million, or $2.19 per boe, higher compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. DD&A for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $80.3 million, or $2.43 per boe, higher compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in both periods was due to increased production and a higher depreciable cost basis.

General and administrative expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $1.8 million higher, but $0.01 per boe lower, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. General and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $9.7 million, or $0.17 per boe, higher when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in both periods was primarily driven by increased corporate payroll expenses and other non-recurring costs.

The Company recognized interest expense, net, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to interest income, net during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change from interest income, net to interest expense, net, for both periods was driven by lower interest income realized during 2024 as a result of lower cash balances.

Other income, net, during the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $7.3 million compared to other expense, net, of $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The other income in 2024 was due to a gain on revaluation of the contingent consideration liability associated with the acquisition of certain oil and gas properties in the Giddings area acquired during 2023. Other income, net, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $3.6 million lower than the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily driven by the gain on sale of the Company’s 84.7% interest in Highlander and an earnout payment associated with the sale of the Company’s 35% membership interest in Ironwood Eagle Ford Midstream LLC in the prior year.

Income tax expense. The following table summarizes the Company’s income tax expense for the periods indicated.

Income tax expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $4.7 million and $2.0 million lower than the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The decrease in tax expense was primarily a result of a decrease in income before income taxes, and additional tax credits, partially offset by an increase in controlling interest. See Note 9— Income Taxes in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Magnolia’s primary source of liquidity and capital has been its cash flows from operations. The Company’s primary uses of cash have been for development of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties, returning capital to shareholders, bolt-on acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties, and general working capital needs.

The Company may also utilize borrowings under other various financing sources available to it, including its RBL Facility and the issuance of equity or debt securities through public offerings or private placements, to fund Magnolia’s acquisitions and long-term liquidity needs. Magnolia’s ability to complete future offerings of equity or debt securities and the timing of these offerings will depend upon various factors, including prevailing market conditions and the Company’s financial condition. The Company anticipates its current cash balance, cash flows from operations, and its available sources of liquidity to be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $400.0 million of principal debt related to the 2026 Senior Notes outstanding and no outstanding borrowings related to the RBL Facility. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $726.1 million of liquidity comprised of the $450.0 million of borrowing base capacity of the RBL Facility, and $276.1 million of cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At September 30, 2024, Magnolia had $276.1 million of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained with various financial institutions in the United States. Deposits with these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. However, the Company regularly monitors the financial stability of such financial institutions and believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant default risk.

Sources and Uses of Cash and Cash Equivalents

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Operating cash flows are the Company’s primary source of liquidity and are impacted, in the short-term and long-term, by oil and natural gas prices. The factors that determine operating cash flows are largely the same as those that affect net earnings, with the exception of certain non-cash expenses such as DD&A, stock based compensation, amortization of deferred financing costs, revaluation of contingent consideration, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, asset retirement obligations accretion, and deferred taxes.

21

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $698.2 million and $608.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash provided by operating activities was positively impacted by the timing of collections and an increase in production and realized oil prices, partially offset by a decrease in realized natural gas and NGL prices.

Uses of Cash and Cash Equivalents

Acquisitions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company paid $165.0 million for acquisitions, primarily comprised of a $125.0 million acquisition in the Giddings area. The acquisitions were funded with cash on hand.

Additions to Oil and Natural Gas Properties

The following table sets forth the Company’s capital expenditures for the periods presented:
Three Months EndedNine Months Ended
(In thousands)September 30, 2024September 30, 2023September 30, 2024September 30, 2023
Drilling and completion$103,057 $104,310 $345,406 $330,147

Total capital expenditures$104,872 $106,668 $351,935 $332,055 

During the third quarter of 2024, Magnolia was running a two-rig program. The number of operated drilling rigs is largely dependent on commodity prices and the Company’s strategy of maintaining spending to accommodate the Company’s business model. The Company’s ongoing plan is to continue to spend within cash flow on drilling and completing wells while maintaining low financial leverage.

Capital Requirements

As of September 30, 2024 the Company’s board of directors had authorized a share repurchase program of up to 40.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock. The program does not require purchases to be made within a particular time frame and whether the Company undertakes these additional repurchases is ultimately subject to numerous considerations, market conditions, and other factors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company repurchased 5.3 million and 7.1 million shares for a total cost of approximately $127.0 million and $152.9 million, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Magnolia LLC repurchased and subsequently canceled 3.5 million Magnolia LLC Units with an equal number of shares of corresponding Class B Common Stock for $89.7 million of cash consideration. As of September 30, 2024, Magnolia owned approximately 97.2% of the interest in Magnolia LLC and the noncontrolling interest was approximately 2.8%.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company declared and paid cash dividends to holders of its Class A Common Stock totaling $72.5 million. Additionally, $7.1 million was distributed to the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company declared cash dividends to holders of its Class A Common Stock totaling $66.3 million. During the same time period, cash paid for dividends was $66.5 million, inclusive of dividends on vested non-participating securities. Additionally, $7.5 million was distributed to the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders. The amount and frequency of future dividends is subject to the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and primarily depends on earnings, capital expenditures, debt covenants, and various other factors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

For variable rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value of such debt, but do impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. The Company is subject to market risk exposure related to changes in interest rates on borrowings under the RBL Facility. Interest on borrowings under the RBL Facility is based on the SOFR rate or alternative base rate plus an applicable margin. At September 30, 2024, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the RBL Facility.
22


Commodity Price Risk

Magnolia’s primary market risk exposure is to the prices it receives for its oil, natural gas, and NGL production. The prices the Company ultimately realizes for its oil, natural gas, and NGLs are based on a number of variables, including prevailing index prices attributable to the Company’s production and certain differentials to those index prices. Pricing for oil, natural gas, and NGLs has historically been volatile and unpredictable, and this volatility is expected to continue in the future. The prices the Company receives for production depend on factors outside of its control, including physical markets, supply and demand, financial markets, and national and international policies. A $1.00 per barrel increase (decrease) in the weighted average oil price for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 would have increased (decreased) the Company’s revenues by approximately $13.9 million on an annualized basis and a $0.10 per Mcf increase (decrease) in the weighted average natural gas price for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 would have increased (decreased) the Company’s revenues by approximately $5.8 million on an annualized basis.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, Magnolia has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including Magnolia’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2024. Based on such evaluation, Magnolia’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by it in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Please refer to Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”), and Part I, Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on Magnolia’s business, results of operations, or financial condition. There have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors since its 2023 Form 10-K. Additional risk factors not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems immaterial may also impair its business, results of operations, or financial condition.
