Chris Conoscenti, Chief Executive Officer of Sitio, commented, "Our strong second quarter results are a reflection of flush production from recently completed wells on our legacy assets combined with production volumes contributed from our disciplined acquisition program. Our team continued to allocate capital towards acquisitions of high quality mineral rights with the greatest potential to generate attractive returns for our shareholders diversified across multiple basins and operators. In addition to our previously announced DJ Basin acquisition, we closed on the acquisition of 2,110 NRAs in the Permian and DJ Basins from 6 separate transactions for approximately $38.5 million. Due to Sitio's 1H 2024 outperformance and the expected impacts from our newly acquired minerals, we are raising our full year 2024 production guidance range from 35,000 – 38,000 Boe/d to 36,000 – 38,000 Boe/d."

FINANCIAL UPDATE
Sitio's second quarter 2024 average unhedged realized prices including all expected quality, transportation and demand adjustments were $79.85 per barrel of oil, $1.01 per Mcf of natural gas and $20.32 per barrel of natural gas liquids, for a total price of $46.36 per barrel of oil equivalent ("Boe"). During the second quarter of 2024, the Company received $2.7 million in net cash settlements for commodity derivative contracts and as a result, average hedged realized prices were $80.21 per barrel of oil, $1.36 per Mcf of natural gas and $20.32 per barrel of natural gas liquids, for a total price of $47.13 per Boe. This represents a comparable $0.01 per Boe increase to hedged realized prices from the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Consolidated net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $29.0 million, which is $10.3 million, or 55% higher than consolidated net income in the first quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily driven by $17.5 million higher oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids revenues and $9.4 million lower commodity derivatives losses, partially offset by $9.2 million of increased depreciation, depletion and amortization, $4.2 million of increased interest expense and $2.1 million of increased income tax expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA was $151.6 million, up 12% compared to first quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of $135.1 million largely due to higher average daily production volume and higher unhedged realized oil prices.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $1,060.0 million principal value of total debt outstanding (comprised of a $460.0 million drawn on Sitio's revolving credit facility and $600.0 million of senior unsecured notes) and liquidity of $406.3 million, including $16.3 million of cash and $390.0 million of remaining availability under its $850.0 million credit facility.
Sitio did not add to or extinguish any of its commodity swaps or collars during the second quarter of 2024. A summary of the Company's existing commodity derivative contracts as of June 30, 2024 is included in the table below.

Non-GAAP financial measures
Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, Discretionary Cash Flow, and Cash G are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures used by our management and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, research analysts and others to assess the financial performance of our assets and their ability to sustain dividends over the long term without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis. Sitio believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to Sitio's management and external users because they allow for a comparison of operating performance on a consistent basis across periods.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus (a) interest expense, (b) provisions for taxes, (c) depreciation, depletion and amortization, (d) non-cash share-based compensation expense, (e) impairment of oil and natural gas properties, (f) gains or losses on unsettled derivative instruments, (g) change in fair value of the warrant liability, (h) loss on debt extinguishment, (i) merger-related transaction costs and (j) write off of financing costs.
We define Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as Adjusted EBITDA plus DJ Basin Acquisition EBITDA from January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024 that is not included in Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024. A reconciliation of Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is available in Exhibit 99.1 of Sitio's Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 8, 2024.
We define Discretionary Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash and accrued interest expense and estimated cash taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
We define Discretionary Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash interest and cash taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
We define Cash G as general and administrative expense less (a) non-cash share-based compensation expense, (b) merger-related transaction costs and (c) rental income.
These non-GAAP financial measures do not represent and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of our financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, Discretionary Cash Flow, and Cash G may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for the period indicated (in thousands).

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that refer to projections, forecasts, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “seeks,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “prospects,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “should,” “would,” “will,” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the Company's expected results of operations, cash flows, financial position and future dividends; as well as certain future plans, expectations and objectives for the Company’s operations, including statements about our return of capital framework, our share repurchase program, the implementation thereof and the intended benefits, financial and operational guidance, strategy, synergies, certain levels of production, future operations, financial position, prospects, and plans. While forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, whether actual results and developments will meet our expectations and predictions depend on a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results, performance, and financial condition to differ materially from our expectations and predictions. Factors that could materially impact such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: commodity price volatility, the global economic uncertainty and market volatility related to slowing growth, the large-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the conflict in the Israel-Gaza region and continued hostilities in the Middle East including tensions with Iran, announcements of voluntary production cuts by OPEC+ and others, including OPEC's recent extensions of its voluntary production cuts, and those other factors discussed or referenced in the "Risk Factors" section of Sitio’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and other publicly filed documents with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement made in this news release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all of them. Sitio undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future development, or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
