MEH: Magellan East Houston, a delivery point in Houston, Texas that serves as a benchmark for crude oil.
MMBoe:  million Boe.
MMBtu:  million Btu.
MMcf:  million cubic feet of natural gas.
NGL or NGLs:  natural gas liquids, such as ethane, propane, butanes and natural gasoline that are extracted from natural gas production streams.
NYMEX:  New York Mercantile Exchange.
Oil: includes crude oil and condensate.
OPEC: Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
Proved reserves: Those reserves which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced, or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project, within a reasonable time.
The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes all of the following:
a.The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and
b.Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.
Reserves that can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when both of the following occur:
a.Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based, and
b.The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.
Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12‑month period before the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.

Realized price: the cash market price less all expected quality, transportation and demand adjustments.
Royalty interest: an interest that gives an owner the right to receive a portion of the resources or revenues without having to carry any costs of development.
RSU: restricted stock units.
SEC:  United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
Waha: a delivery point in West Texas that serves as the benchmark for natural gas.
Working interest: an operating interest that gives the owner the right to drill, produce and conduct operating activities on the property and receive a share of production and requires the owner to pay a share of the costs of drilling and production operations.
WTI: West Texas Intermediate grade crude oil, used as a pricing benchmark for sales contracts and NYMEX oil futures contracts.
With respect to information relating to our working interest in wells or acreage, “net” oil and gas wells or acreage is determined by multiplying gross wells or acreage by our working interest therein. Unless otherwise specified, all references to wells and acres are gross.

Note 1 - Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of business
Callon is an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of high-quality assets in the leading oil plays of South and West Texas. As used herein, the “Company,” “Callon,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Callon Petroleum Company and its predecessors and subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.
The Company’s activities are primarily focused on horizontal development in the Midland and Delaware Basins, both of which are part of the larger Permian Basin in West Texas, as well as the Eagle Ford Shale, which the Company entered into through its acquisition of Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Carrizo”) in late 2019. The Company’s primary operations in the Permian Basin reflect a high-return, oil-weighted drilling inventory with multiple prospective horizontal development intervals and are complemented by a well-established and repeatable cash flow generating business in the Eagle Ford Shale.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and therefore do not include all disclosures required for financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s interim financial position, results of operations and cash flows. However, the results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the full year. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no material impact on prior period financial statements. However, the comparability of certain 2020 amounts to prior periods could be impacted as a result of the Carrizo Acquisition in December 2019.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“2019 Annual Report”) and are supplemented by the notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The financial statements and related notes included in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2019 Annual Report.
Three-stream reporting. Effective January 1, 2020, certain of our natural gas processing agreements were modified to allow the Company to take title to NGLs resulting from the processing of our natural gas. As a result, sales and reserve volumes, prices, and revenues for NGLs and natural gas are presented separately for periods subsequent to January 1, 2020. For periods prior to January 1, 2020, except for sales and reserve volumes, prices, and revenues specifically associated with the Carrizo Acquisition, as defined below, sales and reserve volumes, prices, and revenues for NGLs were presented with natural gas.
See “Note 2 - Revenue Recognition” for additional information regarding the impact of three-stream reporting on our current results.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
None that had a material impact on our financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Income Taxes. In December 2019, the FASB released Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12 (ASU 2019-12): Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The ASU also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. The amended standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued. See “Note 15 - Subsequent Events” for further discussion.
Note 2 - Revenue Recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers
Oil sales
Under the Company’s oil sales contracts it sells oil production at the point of delivery and collects an agreed upon index price, net of pricing differentials. The Company recognizes revenue when control transfers to the purchaser at the point of delivery at the net price received.
Natural gas sales
Effective January 1, 2020, certain of our natural gas processing agreements were modified to allow the Company to take title to NGLs resulting from the processing of our natural gas. As a result, sales and reserve volumes, prices, and revenues for NGLs and natural gas are presented separately for periods subsequent to January 1, 2020. For periods prior to January 1, 2020, except for sales and reserve volumes, prices, and revenues specifically associated with Carrizo, sales and reserve volumes, prices, and revenues for NGLs were presented with natural gas.
Under the Company’s natural gas sales processing contracts, it delivers natural gas to a midstream processing entity which gathers and processes the natural gas and remits proceeds to the Company for the resulting sale of NGLs and residue gas. We evaluate whether the processing entity is the principal or the agent in the transaction for each of our natural gas processing agreements and have concluded that we maintain control through processing or we have the right to take residue gas and/or NGLs in-kind at the tailgate of the midstream entity’s processing plant and subsequently market the product. We recognize revenue when control transfers to the purchaser at the delivery point based on the contractual index price received.
Contractual fees associated with gathering, processing, treating and compression, as well as any transportation fees incurred to deliver the product to the purchaser, for the majority of the Company’s natural gas processing agreements were previously recorded as a reduction of revenue. As a result of the modifications to certain of the Company’s natural gas processing agreements, as well as the natural gas processing agreements assumed in the Carrizo Acquisition, the Company now recognizes revenue for natural gas and NGLs on a gross basis with gathering, transportation and processing fees recognized separately as “Gathering, transportation and processing” in its consolidated statements of operations as the Company maintains control throughout processing. These changes impact the comparability of 2020 with prior periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, $2.8 million and $5.2 million of gathering, transportation, and processing fees were recognized as a reduction to natural gas revenues in the consolidated statement of operations.
Accounts receivable from revenues from contracts with customers
Net accounts receivable include amounts billed and currently due from revenues from contracts with customers of our oil and natural gas production, which had a balance at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 of $74.6 million and $165.3 million, respectively, are presented in “Accounts receivable, net” in the consolidated balance sheets.
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations
For the Company’s product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, it utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606, which states the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these sales contracts, each unit of product generally represents a separate performance obligation, therefore, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.
Prior period performance obligations
The Company records revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser. However, settlement statements for sales may not be received for 30 to 90 days after the date production is delivered, and as a result, the Company is required to estimate the amount of production delivered to the purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. The Company records the differences between estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. The Company has existing internal controls for its revenue estimation process and related accruals, and any identified differences between its revenue estimates and actual revenue received historically have not been significant.

Note 3 - Acquisitions and Divestitures
2020 Acquisitions and Divestitures
The Company did not have any material acquisitions or divestitures for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
2019 Acquisitions and Divestitures
Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. Merger. On December 20, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Carrizo in an all-stock transaction (the “Merger” or the “Carrizo Acquisition”). Under the terms of the Merger, each outstanding share of Carrizo common stock was converted into 1.75 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company issued approximately 168.2 million shares of common stock at a price of $4.55 per share, resulting in total consideration paid by the Company to the former Carrizo shareholders of approximately $765.4 million. In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company funded the redemption of Carrizo’s 8.875% Preferred Stock, repaid the outstanding principal under Carrizo’s revolving credit facility and assumed all of Carrizo’s senior notes.
The Merger was accounted for as a business combination, therefore, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated acquisition date fair values with information available at that time. A combination of a discounted cash flow model and market data was used by a third-party specialist in determining the fair value of the oil and gas properties. Significant inputs into the calculation included future commodity prices, estimated volumes of oil and gas reserves, expectations for timing and amount of future development and operating costs, future plugging and abandonment costs and a risk-adjusted discount rate. Certain data necessary to complete the purchase price allocation is not yet available, including final tax returns that provide the underlying tax basis of Carrizo’s assets and liabilities. The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocation during the 12-month period following the acquisition date.
The following table sets forth the Company’s preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.

Approximately $86.9 million and $248.3 million of revenues and $47.7 million and $99.9 million of direct operating expenses attributed to the Carrizo Acquisition were included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
Pro Forma Operating Results (Unaudited). The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data for the year ended December 31, 2019 was derived from the historical financial statements of the Company giving effect to the Merger, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2018. The below information reflects pro forma adjustments for the issuance of the Company’s common stock in exchange for Carrizo’s outstanding shares of common stock, as well as pro forma adjustments based on available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, including (i) the Company’s common stock issued to convert Carrizo’s outstanding shares of common stock and equity awards as of the closing date of the Merger, (ii) the depletion of Carrizo’s fair-valued proved oil and natural gas properties and (iii) the estimated tax impacts of the pro forma adjustments.
Additionally, pro forma earnings were adjusted to exclude acquisition-related costs incurred by the Company of approximately $58.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and acquisition-related costs incurred by Carrizo that totaled approximately $15.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The pro forma results of operations do not include any cost savings or other synergies that may result from the Merger or any estimated costs that have been or will be incurred by the Company to integrate the Carrizo assets. The pro forma financial data does not include the pro forma results of operations for any other acquisitions made during the periods presented, as they were primarily acreage acquisitions and their results were not deemed material.
The pro forma consolidated statements of operations data has been included for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the Merger taken place on January 1, 2018 and is not intended to be a projection of future results.

Through June 30, 2020, the Company has incurred cumulative costs associated with the Carrizo Acquisition of $98.3 million comprised of severance costs of $34.2 million and other merger and integration expenses of $64.1 million. As of June 30, 2020, $23.0 million remained accrued and is included as a component of “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets.
Ranger Divestiture. In the second quarter of 2019, the Company completed its divestiture of certain non-core assets in the southern Midland Basin (the “Ranger Asset Divestiture”) for net cash proceeds of $244.9 million. The transaction also provided for potential additional contingent consideration in payments of up to $60.0 million based on West Texas Intermediate average annual pricing over a three-year period. See “Note 7 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and “Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements” for further discussion of this contingent consideration arrangement. The divestiture encompasses the Ranger operating area in the southern Midland Basin which includes approximately 9,850 net Wolfcamp acres with an average 66% working interest. The net cash proceeds were recognized as a reduction of evaluated oil and gas properties with no gain or loss recognized.

The Company capitalized internal costs of employee compensation and benefits, including stock-based compensation, directly associated with acquisition, exploration and development activities totaling $8.9 million and $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $16.4 million and $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
The Company capitalized interest costs associated with its unproved properties totaling $20.9 million and $18.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $44.9 million and $38.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
As a result of the recent downturn in the oil and gas industry as well as in the broader macroeconomic environment, the Company analyzed its unevaluated leasehold giving consideration to its updated exploration program as well as to the remaining lease term of certain unevaluated leaseholds. The Company transferred $43.9 million and $224.4 million from unevaluated leasehold to evaluated properties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, primarily as a result of the analysis described above.
Impairment of Evaluated Oil and Gas Properties
Primarily due to declines in the average realized prices for sales of oil on the first calendar day of each month during the trailing 12-month period (“12-Month Average Realized Price”) prior to June 30, 2020, the capitalized costs of oil and gas properties exceeded the cost center ceiling resulting in an impairment in the carrying value of evaluated oil and gas properties for the three months ended June 30, 2020. An impairment of evaluated oil and gas properties recognized in one period may not be reversed in a subsequent period even if higher oil and gas prices in the future increase the cost center ceiling applicable to the subsequent period. There were no impairments of evaluated oil and gas properties for the three months ended March 31, 2020 or for the corresponding prior year periods.

End of period 12-Month Average Realized Price ($/Bbl)$45.87  $53.00  
Percent decrease in 12-Month Average Realized Price(16 %)(3 %)
The Company expects to record an additional impairment in the carrying value of evaluated oil and gas properties in the third quarter of 2020 based on an estimated 12-Month Average Realized price of crude oil of approximately $43.45 as of September 30, 2020, which is based on the average realized price for sales of crude oil on the first calendar day of each month for the first 11 months and an estimate for the twelfth month based on a quoted forward price. Declines in the 12-Month Average Realized Price of crude oil in subsequent quarters could result in a lower present value of the estimated future net revenues from proved oil and gas reserves and may result in additional impairments of evaluated oil and gas properties.

Note 5 - Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the periods presented. The calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the potential dilutive impact of non-vested restricted shares outstanding during the periods presented, as calculated using the treasury stock method, unless their effect is anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company reported a loss available to common stockholders. As a result, the calculation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding excluded the anti-dilutive effect of 9.1 million and 9.2 million potentially dilutive common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Senior secured revolving credit facility
The Company has a senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders that, as of June 30, 2020, had a borrowing base of $1.7 billion, with an elected commitment amount of $1.7 billion, borrowings outstanding of $1.45 billion at a weighted-average interest rate of 3.01%, and letters of credit outstanding of $19.7 million. The credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility provides for interest-only payments until December 20, 2024 (subject to springing maturity dates of (i) January 14, 2023 if the 6.25%
14


Senior Notes are outstanding at such time and (ii) July 2, 2024 if the 6.125% Senior Notes are outstanding at such time), when the credit agreement matures and any outstanding borrowings are due. The borrowing base under the credit agreement is subject to regular redeterminations in the spring and fall of each year, as well as special redeterminations described in the credit agreement, which in each case may reduce the amount of the borrowing base. The revolving credit facility is secured by first preferred mortgages covering the Company’s major producing properties. The capitalized terms which are not defined in this description of the revolving credit facility shall have the meaning given to such terms in the credit agreement.
On May 7, 2020, the Company entered into the first amendment to its credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility. The amendment, among other things, (a) establishes a new borrowing base as a result of the spring 2020 scheduled redetermination in the amount of $1.7 billion and reduces the elected commitments to $1.7 billion; (b) permits the incurrence of, among other things, new second lien notes exchanged for unsecured notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400 million (the “Second Lien Notes”) so long as any such Second Lien Notes are subject to an intercreditor agreement providing that the liens securing the Second Lien Notes rank junior to the liens securing the credit agreement; (c) provides that testing of the Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of consolidated total debt to Adjusted EBITDAX on a quarterly basis is suspended until March 31, 2022, as of which testing date and the last day of each fiscal quarter ending thereafter, such ratio may not exceed 4.00 to 1.00; (d) provides a new financial covenant testing the Secured Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of the consolidated total secured debt to Adjusted EBITDAX and provides that such ratio on a quarterly basis as of the last day of each quarter beginning with March 31, 2020 up to and including the quarter ending December 31, 2021 may not exceed 3.00 to 1.00; (e) provides that the testing of the Current Ratio, which is the ratio of current assets to current liabilities is suspended until September 30, 2020, as of which testing date and the last day of each fiscal quarter ending thereafter, such ratio may not be less than 1.00 to 1.00; (f) increases the applicable margins for borrowings under the credit agreement for both LIBOR loans and base rate loans by 75 basis points across all commitment utilization ranges; (g) introduces customary anti-cash hoarding protections tested weekly, which restrict the Company’s ability to maintain unrestricted cash on its balance sheet in amounts in the excess of the lesser of (i) $125.0 million or (ii) 7.5% of the then current borrowing base; (h) requires the Company to enter into and maintain minimum hedges for the 12 month period starting January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, for which the net notional volumes on a barrel of oil equivalent basis are not less than 40% of the reasonably anticipated production from the Company’s oil and gas properties which are classified as proved developed producing reserves as of April 1, 2020; (i) requires mortgage and title coverage on at least 90% of the total value of proved oil and gas properties evaluated in the most recently delivered reserve report; and (j) restricts the Company’s ability to make certain investments and cash distributions by lowering the maximum leverage ratio required to make such distributions to 2.50 to 1.00.
Borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement bear interest at the Company’s option at either (i) a base rate for a base rate loan plus a margin between 1.00% to 2.00%, where the base rate is defined as the greatest of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and the adjusted LIBO rate plus 1.00%, or (ii) an adjusted LIBO rate for a Eurodollar loan plus a margin between 2.00% to 3.00%. The Company also incurs commitment fees at rates ranging between 0.375% to 0.500% on the unused portion of lender commitments, which are included in “Interest expense, net” in the consolidated statements of operations.
Restrictive covenants
The Company’s credit agreement contains certain covenants including restrictions on additional indebtedness, payment of cash dividends and maintenance of certain financial ratios.
Under the credit agreement, the Company must maintain the following financial covenants determined as of the last day of the quarter, each as described above: (1) a Secured Leverage Ratio of no more than 3.00 to 1.00 and (2) a Current Ratio recommencing September 30, 2020, of not less than 1.00 to 1.00. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2020.
The credit agreement also places restrictions on the Company and certain of its subsidiaries with respect to additional indebtedness, liens, dividends and other payments to shareholders, repurchases or redemptions of the Company’s common stock, redemptions of senior notes, investments, acquisitions, mergers, asset dispositions, transactions with affiliates, hedging transactions and other matters.
The credit agreement is subject to customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders may elect to accelerate amounts due under the credit agreement (except in the case of a bankruptcy event of default, in which case such amounts will automatically become due and payable).
Note 7 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in oil, natural gas and NGL prices received for its production. Consequently, the Company believes it is prudent to manage the variability in cash flows on a portion of its oil, natural gas and NGL production. The Company utilizes a mix of collars, swaps, and put and call options to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changes in commodity prices. The Company does not use these instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
15


Counterparty risk and offsetting
The Company typically has numerous commodity derivative instruments outstanding with a counterparty that were executed at various dates, for various contract types, commodities and time periods. This often results in both commodity derivative asset and liability positions with that counterparty. The Company nets its commodity derivative instrument fair values executed with the same counterparty to a single asset or liability pursuant to International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”), which provide for net settlement over the term of the contract and in the event of default or termination of the contract. In general, if a party to a derivative transaction incurs an event of default, as defined in the applicable agreement, the other party will have the right to demand the posting of collateral, demand a cash payment transfer or terminate the arrangement.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company has outstanding commodity derivative instruments with fifteen counterparties to minimize its credit exposure to any individual counterparty. All of the counterparties to the Company’s commodity derivative instruments are also lenders under the Company’s credit agreement. Therefore, each of the Company’s counterparties allow the Company to satisfy any need for margin obligations associated with commodity derivative instruments where the Company is in a net liability position with the collateral securing the credit agreement, thus eliminating the need for independent collateral posting.
Because each of the Company’s counterparties has an investment grade credit rating, the Company believes it does not have significant credit risk and accordingly does not currently require its counterparties to post collateral to support the net asset positions of its commodity derivative instruments. Although the Company does not currently anticipate nonperformance from its counterparties, it continually monitors the credit ratings of each counterparty.
While the Company monitors counterparty creditworthiness on an ongoing basis, it cannot predict sudden changes in counterparties’ creditworthiness. In addition, even if such changes are not sudden, the Company may be limited in its ability to mitigate an increase in counterparty credit risk. Should one of these counterparties not perform, the Company may not realize the benefit of some of its derivative instruments under lower commodity prices while continuing to be obligated under higher commodity price contracts subject to any right of offset under the agreements. Counterparty credit risk is considered when determining the fair value of a derivative instrument. See “Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements” for further discussion.
Financial statement presentation and settlements
Settlements of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments are based on the difference between the contract price or prices specified in the derivative instrument and a benchmark price, such as the NYMEX price. To determine the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments, the Company utilizes present value methods that include assumptions about commodity prices based on those observed in underlying markets. See “Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements” for additional information regarding fair value.
Contingent consideration arrangements
Ranger Divestiture. The Company’s Ranger Divestiture provides for potential contingent consideration to be received by the Company if commodity prices exceed specified thresholds in each of the next several years. See “Note 3 - Acquisitions and Divestitures” and “Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements” for further discussion. This contingent consideration arrangement is summarized in the table below (in thousands except for per Bbl amounts):

(1) The price used to determine whether the specified thresholds have been met is the average of the final monthly settlements for each month during each annual period end for NYMEX Light Sweet Crude Oil Futures, as reported by the CME Group Inc.
(2) Cash received for settlements of contingent consideration arrangements are classified as cash flows from financing activities up to the divestiture date fair value with any excess classified as cash flows from operating activities. Therefore, if the commodity price threshold is reached, $8.5 million of the next contingent receipt will be presented in cash flows from financing activities with the remainder, as well as all subsequent contingent receipts, presented in cash flows from operating activities.
(3) The specified pricing threshold for 2019 was not met. As such, approximately $41.7 million remains for potential settlements in future years.

(1) The price used to determine whether the specified threshold for each year has been met is the average daily closing spot price per barrel of WTI crude oil as measured by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“U.S. EIA”).
(2) Cash paid for settlements related to 2019 are classified as cash flows used in investing activities as the cash payment was made soon after the acquisition date. Due to the extended time frame over which the 2020 and 2021 contingent arrangements could settle, any future payments would be considered financing arrangements. As such, cash settlements of those contingent consideration arrangements would be classified as cash flows from financing activities up to the acquisition date fair value with any excess classified as cash flows from operating activities. Therefore, if the commodity price threshold were reached, $19.2 million of the final contingent payment would be presented in cash flows used in financing activities with the remainder presented in operating cash flows.
(3) In January 2020, the Company paid $50.0 million as the specified pricing threshold was met. Only $25.0 million remains for potential settlements in future years.
Additionally, as part of the Carrizo Acquisition, the Company acquired contingent consideration arrangements where the Company could receive payments if certain pricing thresholds are met in 2020, which range between $53.00 - $60.00 per barrel of oil or $3.18 - $3.30 per MMBtu of natural gas. In January 2020, the Company received $10.0 million as the specified pricing thresholds were met for certain of the contingent consideration arrangements. As such, the aggregate limit of the remaining contingent receipts is $13.0 million and would be settled in January 2021 based on the specified pricing thresholds for 2020.
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
The Company records its derivative instruments at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and records changes in fair value as “(Gain) loss on derivative contracts” in the consolidated statements of operations. Settlements are also recorded as a gain or loss on derivative contracts in the consolidated statements of operations. As previously discussed, the Company’s commodity derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements. The Company’s policy is to present the fair value of derivative contracts on a net basis in the consolidated balance sheets. The following presents the impact of this presentation to the Company’s recognized assets and liabilities for the periods indicated:

Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements
Accounting guidelines for measuring fair value establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which the Company makes its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets and liabilities.
Fair value of financial instruments
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted investments. The carrying amounts for these instruments approximate fair value due to the short-term nature or maturity of the instruments.
Debt. The carrying amount of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility approximate fair value as the borrowings bear interest at variable rates and are reflective of market rates. The following table presents the principal amounts of the Company’s senior notes
20


with the fair values measured using quoted secondary market trading prices which are designated as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. See “Note 6 - Borrowings” for further discussion.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheet. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value:
Commodity derivative instruments. The fair value of commodity derivative instruments is derived using a third-party income approach valuation model that utilizes market-corroborated inputs that are observable over the term of the commodity derivative contract. The Company’s fair value calculations also incorporate an estimate of the counterparties’ default risk for commodity derivative assets and an estimate of the Company’s default risk for commodity derivative liabilities. As the inputs in the model are substantially observable over the term of the commodity derivative contract and there is a wide availability of quoted market prices for similar commodity derivative contracts, the Company designates its commodity derivative instruments as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. See “Note 7 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” for further discussion.
Contingent consideration arrangements - embedded derivative financial instruments. The embedded options within the contingent consideration arrangements are considered financial instruments under ASC 815. The Company engages a third-party valuation specialist using an option pricing model approach to measure the fair value of the embedded options on a recurring basis. The valuation includes significant inputs such as forward oil price curves, time to expiration, and implied volatility. The model provides for the probability that the specified pricing thresholds would be met for each settlement period, estimates undiscounted payouts, and risk adjusts for the discount rates inclusive of adjustments for each of the counterparty’s credit quality. As these inputs are substantially observable for the full term of the contingent consideration arrangements, the inputs are considered Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. See “Note 7 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” for further discussion.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
Acquisitions. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, other than the contingent consideration arrangements which are discussed above, are measured as of the acquisition date by a third-party valuation specialist using a combination of income and
21


market approaches, which are not observable in the market and are therefore designated as Level 3 inputs. Significant inputs include expected discounted future cash flows from estimated reserve quantities, estimates for timing and costs to produce and develop reserves, oil and natural gas forward prices, and a risk-adjusted discount rate. See “Note 3 - Acquisitions and Divestitures” for additional discussion.
Asset retirement obligations. The Company measures the fair value of asset retirement obligations as of the date a well begins drilling or when production equipment and facilities are installed using a discounted cash flow model based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore are designated as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. Significant inputs to the fair value measurement of asset retirement obligations include estimates of the costs of plugging and abandoning oil and gas wells, removing production equipment and facilities and restoring the surface of the land as well as estimates of the economic lives of the oil and gas wells and future inflation rates.
Note 9 - Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes at the statutory rate of 21% adjusted for permanent differences expected to be realized, which primarily relate to non-deductible executive compensation expenses, restricted stock windfalls, and state income taxes. The following table presents a reconciliation of the reported amount of income tax expense to the amount of income tax expense that would result from applying domestic federal statutory tax rates to pretax income from continuing operations:

(1) Accounts for the potential impact of periodic volatility of stock-based compensation tax deductions on future effective tax rates.
Management monitors company-specific, oil and natural gas industry and worldwide economic factors and assesses the likelihood that
the Company’s net deferred tax assets will be utilized prior to their expiration. A significant item of objective negative evidence considered was the cumulative historical three year pre-tax loss and a net deferred tax asset position at June 30, 2020, driven primarily by the impairment of evaluated oil and gas properties recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as the Company’s potential for future growth. Based on the evaluation of the evidence available during the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized and recorded a valuation allowance of $377.6 million, reducing the net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2020 to zero.
The Company will continue to evaluate whether the valuation allowance is needed in future reporting periods. The valuation allowance will remain until the Company can conclude that the net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. Future events or new evidence which may lead the Company to conclude that it is more likely than not its net deferred tax assets will be realized include, but are not limited to, cumulative historical pre-tax earnings, improvements in crude oil prices, and taxable events that could result from one or more future potential transactions. The valuation allowance does not preclude the Company from utilizing the tax attributes if the Company recognizes taxable income. As long as the Company continues to conclude that the valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets is necessary, the Company will have no significant deferred income tax expense or benefit.
Note 10 - Share-based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation Plans
At the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders on June 8, 2020, shareholders approved the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which replaced the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Prior Incentive Plan”). From the effective date of the 2020 Plan, no further awards may be granted under the Prior Incentive Plan, however, awards previously granted under the Prior Incentive Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. The 2020 Plan provides that up to 13,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, plus the shares remaining available for awards under the Prior Incentive Plan, may be issued. As of June 30, 2020, there were 15,937,327 common shares remaining available for grant under the 2020 Plan.

The awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 will vest at a range of 0% to 300% and 0% to 200%, respectively.
(2)The fair value of shares vested was $0.6 million and $3.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $1.3 million and $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Grant activity for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 primarily consisted of RSU Equity Awards granted to executives and employees as part of the annual grant of long-term equity incentive awards in January and June 2020, respectively, as compared to the annual grant of long-term equity to executives and employees during the first quarter of 2019.
The number of outstanding performance-based RSU Equity Awards that can vest is based on a calculation that compares the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) to the same calculated return of a group of peer companies selected by the Company and can range between 0% and 300% of the target units for the awards granted in 2020 and between 0% and 200% of the target units for the awards granted in 2018 and 2019. The increase in the maximum amount of performance-based RSU Equity Awards that can vest for the awards granted in 2020 is due to an absolute TSR modifier, which was added as a second factor in the calculation, in addition to the relative TSR multiplier. While the absolute TSR modifier could increase the number of awards that vest, the number of awards that vest could also be reduced if the absolute TSR is less than 5% over the performance period.
The Company recognizes expense for performance-based RSU Equity Awards based on the fair value of the awards at the grant date. Awards with a performance-based provision do not allow for the reversal of previously recognized expense, even if the market metric is not achieved and no shares ultimately vest. The grant date fair value of performance-based RSU Equity Awards, calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation, was $0.5 million and zero for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $3.4 million and $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The following table summarizes the assumptions used and the resulting grant date fair value per performance-based RSU Equity Award granted during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

Note 11 - Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract. If the contract is determined to be a lease the Company classifies the lease as an operating or financing lease. The Company recognizes an operating or financing lease on its consolidated balance sheets as a lease liability, which represents the present value of the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company also records a corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which represents the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company’s operating leases typically do not provide an implicit interest rate, therefore, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of the lease payments based on information available at inception of the contract.
Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense for financing leases is comprised of interest expense on the financing lease liability and the amortization of the associated ROU asset, which is also recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease expense that is not dependent on an index or rate is not included in the operating or financing lease liability or ROU asset and is recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
The majority of the lease liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets is comprised of its drilling rig and office lease contracts.
The tables below, which present the components of lease costs and supplemental balance sheet information are presented on a gross basis. Other joint owners in the properties operated by the Company generally pay for their working interest share of costs associated with drilling rigs and well equipment.

(3) For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, approximately $15.2 million and $7.0 million were costs associated with drilling rigs. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, approximately $23.7 million and $13.9 million were costs associated with drilling rigs. and were capitalized to “Evaluated properties” in the consolidated balance sheets and the other remaining operating lease costs were components of “General and administrative” and “Lease operating” in the consolidated statements of operations.
(4) As a result of the downturn in economic conditions in conjunction with our ongoing effort to consolidate various office locations due to the Carrizo Acquisition, the Company evaluated certain of its office leases for impairment. Upon evaluation, the Company recorded impairments of certain of its Operating lease ROU assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 of $2.0 million and $3.6 million which is a component of “Merger and integration expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations.
(5) Short-term lease costs exclude expenses related to leases with a contract term of one month or less.
(6) Variable lease costs include additional payments that were not included in the initial measurement of the lease liability and related ROU asset for lease agreements with terms greater than 12 months. Variable lease costs primarily consist of incremental usage associated with drilling rigs.

Reverse Stock Split
On August 4, 2020, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-10 and a proportionate reduction of the total number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders on June 8, 2020. The reverse stock split will become effective as of the close of business on August 7, 2020 and the Company’s common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the NYSE at market open on August 10, 2020. The par value of the common stock will not be adjusted in connection with the reverse stock split.
The reverse stock split is intended to, among other things, increase the per share trading price of the Company’s common shares to maintain compliance with the $1.00 minimum closing price requirement for continued listing on the NYSE and improve the opportunity for institutional ownership. Upon completion of the reverse stock split, each 10 pre-split shares of common stock outstanding will be automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock. The fractional shares that resulted from the reverse stock split were canceled, and shareholders who would otherwise hold fractional shares as a result of the reverse stock split will be entitled to receive cash (without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes) in lieu of such fractional shares. The number of outstanding shares of common stock will be reduced from approximately 397,476,674 as of July 31, 2020 to approximately 39,747,667 shares (without giving effect to the liquidation of fractional shares). The total number of shares of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue will be reduced from 525,000,000 to 52,500,000 shares.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
The following management’s discussion and analysis describes the principal factors affecting the Company’s results of operations, liquidity, capital resources and contractual cash obligations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which include additional information about our business practices, significant accounting policies, risk factors, and the transactions that underlie our financial results. Our website address is www.callon.com. All of our filings with the SEC are available free of charge through our website as soon as reasonably practicable after we file them with, or furnish them to, the SEC. Information on our website does not form part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We are an independent oil and natural gas company incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1994, but our roots go back 70 years to our Company’s establishment in 1950. We are focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of high-quality assets in the leading oil plays of South and West Texas. Our activities are primarily focused on horizontal development in the Midland and Delaware Basins, both of which are part of the larger Permian Basin in West Texas, as well as the Eagle Ford Shale, which we entered into through the Carrizo Acquisition in late 2019.
Our operating culture is centered on responsible development of hydrocarbon resources, safety and the environment, which we believe strengthens our operational performance. Our drilling activity is predominantly focused on the horizontal development of several prospective intervals in the Permian Basin, including multiple levels of the Wolfcamp formation and the Lower Spraberry shales, and more recently as a result of the Carrizo Acquisition, the Eagle Ford Shale. We have assembled a multi-year inventory of potential horizontal well locations and intend to add to this inventory through delineation drilling of emerging zones on our existing acreage and through acquisition of additional locations through working interest acquisitions, leasing programs, acreage purchases, joint ventures and asset swaps.
Recent Developments
COVID-19 Outbreak and Global Industry Downturn
The recent worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, the uncertainty regarding the impact of COVID-19 and various governmental actions taken to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, have resulted in an unprecedented decline in demand for oil and natural gas. At the same time, the decision by Saudi Arabia in March 2020 to drastically reduce export prices and increase oil production followed by curtailment agreements among OPEC and other countries such as Russia further increased uncertainty and volatility around global oil supply-demand dynamics. As a result, there is an excess supply of oil in the United States, which could continue for a sustained period; this is in addition to recent and continued excess supply of natural gas in the United States. This excess supply has, in turn, resulted in transportation and storage capacity constraints in the United States, and may even cause the elimination of available storage, including in the Permian Basin.
The COVID-19 outbreak and its development into a pandemic in March 2020 have required that we take precautionary measures intended to help minimize the risk to our business, employees, customers, suppliers and the communities in which we operate. Our operational employees are currently still able to work on site. However, we have taken various precautionary measures with respect to such operational employees such as requiring them to verify they have not experienced any symptoms consistent with COVID-19, or been in close contact with someone showing such symptoms, before reporting to the work site, being prepared to quarantine any operational employees who have shown signs of COVID-19 (regardless of whether such employee has been confirmed to be infected), and imposing social distancing requirements on work sites, in accordance with the guidelines released by the Center for Disease Control. In addition, most of our non-operational employees are now working remotely. We have not yet experienced any material operational disruptions (including disruptions from our suppliers and service providers) as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. Due to the decline in crude oil prices and ongoing uncertainty regarding the oil supply-demand macro environment, we reduced our operations in order to preserve capital. We expect to fund the remainder of our 2020 capital expenditures with cash flows from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. As substantially all of our revenues are generated by the production and sale of hydrocarbons, if it became necessary to curtail or shut-in a significant portion of our production, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and ability to finance planned capital expenditures.
We have resumed production from wells that were curtailed as a result of field level economic decisions in the second quarter, and we do not forecast additional shut-ins at this time. Previously deferred initial flowback was initiated from wells in the Wildhorse area in June, and all wells are now on production. We have various firm transportation agreements on pipelines in both the Permian Basin as well as the Eagle Ford Shale to help manage delivery risk of our production and provide us with the ability to deliver to various regional markets where we have the potential to receive more favorable pricing as compared to selling to purchasers at the wellhead. See “—Contractual Obligations” below for further details.

Overview
Second Quarter 2020 Highlights
Total production for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was 108,664 Boe/d, an increase of 168% from the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to production from the Carrizo Acquisition and new wells placed on production during 2020, partially offset by normal production decline and the sale of our Ranger assets in 2019.
Operated drilling and completion activity for the three months ended June 30, 2020 along with our drilled but uncompleted and producing wells as of June 30, 2020 are summarized in the table below.

Operational capital expenditures, inclusive of leasehold and seismic, for the second quarter of 2020 were $85.1 million, of which approximately 85% were in the Permian Basin with the remaining balance in the Eagle Ford. In response to the decline in commodity prices for oil and natural gas, we reduced activity relative to our original plan, including the suspension of all completion activity in April and transition to one active drilling rig in mid-May. We do not currently have any active rigs or completion crews, but we do intend to resume development activity during the third quarter of 2020. Near-term operational activity will be focused on completing a drilled, but uncompleted inventory of approximately 70 wells in both the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale with one dedicated completion crew. We also intend to return two to three drilling rigs to service later in the third quarter of 2020 for the balance of the year. As a result, we currently forecast total operational capital expenditures of approximately $140.0 to $165.0 million over the remaining two quarters of 2020 and expect operational capital expenditures to be approximately $500.0 to $525.0 million for the full year 2020. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—2020 Capital Plan and Outlook” for additional details.
We recorded a loss available to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $1.6 billion, or $3.94 per diluted share, as compared to net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2019 of $53.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share. The change from net income available to common stockholders to net loss available to common stockholders between the respective periods was driven primarily by the recording of an impairment of evaluated oil and gas properties of $1.3 billion during the second quarter of 2020 as well as a loss on derivative contracts of approximately $127.0 million during the second quarter of 2020 compared to a gain on derivative contracts of approximately $14.0 million during the second quarter of 2019 and an approximate 65% decrease in total average realized sales prices between the two periods, partially offset by an approximate 168% increase in total production for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. See “—Results of Operations” below for further details.

33


Commodity Prices
The prices for oil, natural gas, and NGLs remain extremely volatile primarily due to the underlying supply and demand concerns as a result of COVID-19 as well as the actions taken by OPEC and other countries as described above. Prices of oil, natural gas, and NGLs will affect the following aspects of our business:
our revenues, cash flows and earnings;
the amount of oil and natural gas that we are economically able to produce;
our ability to attract capital to finance our operations and cost of the capital;
the amount we are allowed to borrow under the revolving credit facility; and
the value of our oil and natural gas properties.
Period over Period Variances
The change in absolute value for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to June 30, 2019 can be primarily attributed to the Carrizo Acquisition which closed in December 2019. The Carrizo Acquisition had a material impact to our reported results of operations. In order to provide a more meaningful basis for comparison, we focused our discussion on per unit metrics and only expanded on changes in absolute value where appropriate.
Oil revenue 
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, oil revenues of $130.5 million decreased $30.2 million, or 19%, compared to revenues of $160.7 million for the same period of 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to a 64% decline in the average realized sales price which fell to $20.41 per Bbl from $56.44 per Bbl. The decrease in pricing was partially offset by the 125% increase in production from the Carrizo Acquisition and our development efforts.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, oil revenues of $396.3 million increased $94.5 million, or 31%, compared to revenues of $301.8 million for the same period of 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to the 115% increase in production from the Carrizo Acquisition and our development efforts. The increase was partially offset by a 39% decline in the average realized sales price which fell to $32.37 per Bbl from $52.90 per Bbl.
Natural gas revenue
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, natural gas revenues of $12.2 million increased $5.9 million, or 94%, compared to $6.3 million for the same period of 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to the 119% increase in production from the Carrizo Acquisition and our development efforts. The increase was partially offset by a 12% decline in the average realized sale price which fell to $1.11 per Mcf from $1.26 per Mcf.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, natural gas revenues of $18.3 million remained relatively consistent despite a 53% decline in the average realize sales price, which fell to $0.88 per Mcf from $1.89 per Mcf. The price decrease was offset by a 116% increase in production from the Carrizo Acquisition and our development efforts.
NGL revenue
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, NGL revenues were $14.5 million and $32.6 million, or $8.74 and $9.69 per Bbl, compared to no revenues for the same period of 2019. The increase was due to the modification of certain of our natural gas processing agreements, which allowed us to take title to NGLs resulting from the processing of our natural gas. As a result, sales and reserve volumes, prices, and revenues for NGLs and natural gas are presented separately for periods subsequent to January 1, 2020. For periods prior to January 1, 2020, except for sales and reserve volumes, prices, and revenues specifically associated with Carrizo, we presented our sales and reserves volumes, prices, and revenues for NGLs with natural gas.

Lease operating expenses. These are daily costs incurred to extract oil, natural gas and NGLs and maintain our producing properties. Such costs also include maintenance, repairs, salt water disposal, insurance and workover expenses related to our oil and natural gas properties. 
Lease operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased to $50.8 million compared to $22.8 million for the same period of 2019. The increase in lease operating expense was primarily related to a 168% increase in production over the comparative periods, which carries a variable component for each unit of production.
Lease operating expense on a per unit basis decreased to $5.14 for the second quarter of 2020, which represents a decrease of $1.04 per Boe from the second quarter of 2019. The lower per unit metric reflects the distribution of fixed costs spread over higher production volumes.
Lease operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased to $103.2 million compared to $46.8 million for the same period of 2019. The increase in LOE was primarily related to a 161% increase in production over the comparative periods, which carries a variable component for each unit of production.
Lease operating expenses on a per unit basis decreased to $5.41 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which represents a decrease of $0.99 per Boe from the comparable period in 2019. The lower per unit metric reflects the distribution of fixed costs spread over higher production volumes.
Production and ad valorem taxes. In general, production taxes are based upon current year commodity prices whereas ad valorem taxes are based upon prior year commodity prices. Production taxes are paid on produced oil and natural gas based on a percentage of revenues from products sold at fixed rates established by federal, state or local taxing authorities. In the counties where our production is located, we are also subject to ad valorem taxes, which are generally based on the taxing jurisdictions’ valuation of our oil and gas properties. We benefit from tax credits and exemptions in our various taxing jurisdictions where available.
Production and ad valorem taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 7% to $10.4 million compared to $11.1 million for the same period of 2019, which is primarily related to a 6% decrease in total revenues. Production and ad valorem taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 37% to $30.0 million compared to $21.9 million for the same period of 2019, which is primarily related to a 40% increase in total revenues. Production and ad valorem taxes as a percentage of total revenues were consistent across the comparable periods at approximately 6.7%.
Gathering, transportation and processing expenses. Gathering, transportation and processing costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were $20.0 million and $34.4 million, respectively. No expense was recognized for gathering, transportation and processing costs during the same period of 2019. The change is due to the assumption of the processing agreements assumed in the
35


Carrizo acquisition and certain contract modifications effective January 1, 2020. As such, the Company now records contractual fees associated with gathering, processing, treating and compression, as well as any transportation fees incurred to deliver the product to the purchaser, as gathering, transportation and processing expense. These fees were historically recorded as a reduction of revenue depending on when control transferred to the purchaser.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”). Under the full cost accounting method, we capitalize costs within a cost center and then systematically amortize those costs on an equivalent unit-of-production method based on production and estimated proved reserve quantities. Depreciation of other property and equipment is computed using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to twenty years. The following table sets forth the components of our depreciation, depletion and amortization for the periods indicated:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, DD&A expense was $138.9 million and $270.4 million compared to $63.1 million and $123.1 million for the same periods of 2019. The additional DD&A was primarily related to DD&A of evaluated oil and gas properties, which is determined using the units of production method. The increase in DD&A of evaluated oil and gas properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, resulted from production increases of 168% and 161%, respectively, which were partially offset by lower DD&A rates between the periods. Those factors accounted for an $85.3 million increase and $12.0 million offsetting decrease, respectively, during the second quarter of 2020. Similarly, the increased production and decreased per unit rate accounted for a $163.7 million increase and $20.7 million offsetting decrease, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to 2019.
The decrease in DD&A on a per unit basis rates across both periods was primarily a result of the Carrizo Acquisition which contributed to a significant increase in our proved reserves at a lower relative cost per Boe than our historical DD&A rate.
General and administrative, net of amounts capitalized (“G&A”). G&A for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was relatively consistent compared to the same period in 2019. We recorded a marginal decrease to $10.0 million compared to $10.6 million due to cost saving initiatives, which were partially offset by increased headcount of the combined companies. Additionally, G&A for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $7.0 million compared to 2019 primarily due to cost saving initiatives and a decrease in the fair value of the Cash-Settled RSU Awards and Cash SARs.
Impairment of evaluated oil and gas properties. We recognized an impairment of evaluated oil and gas properties of $1.3 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 due primarily to declines in the average realized prices for sales of oil and gas on the first calendar day of each month during the trailing 12-month period prior to June 30, 2020. There was no impairment of evaluated oil and gas properties for the three or six months ended June 30, 2019.
Merger and integration expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred $8.1 million and $23.9 million of expenses associated with the Carrizo Acquisition. See “Note 3 – Acquisitions and Divestitures” of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the merger with Carrizo.

Interest expense, net of capitalized amounts. We finance a portion of our capital expenditures, acquisitions and working capital requirements with borrowings under our revolving credit facility or with term debt. We incur interest expense that is affected by both fluctuations in interest rates and our financing decisions. We reflect interest paid to our lender in interest expense, net of capitalized amounts. In addition, we include the amortization of deferred financing costs (including origination and amendment fees), commitment fees, annual agency fees, and interest from our financing leases in interest expense.

Interest expense, net of capitalized amounts, incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $21.9 million to $22.7 million compared to $0.7 million for the same period of 2019. Additionally, interest expense, net of capitalized amounts, incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $41.7 million to $43.2 million compared to $1.5 million for the same period of 2019. The increase is primarily due to debt that was assumed as a result of the Carrizo Acquisition.
(Gain) loss on derivative contracts. We utilize commodity derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices. This amount represents the (i) (gain) loss related to fair value adjustments on our open derivative contracts and (ii) (gains) losses on settlements of derivative contracts for positions that have settled within the period.

See “Note 7 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and “Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements” of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Income tax expense. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of (1) temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and (2) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on enacted tax rates applicable to the future period when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period the rate change is enacted. When appropriate, based on our analysis, we record a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
We recorded income tax expense of $51.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $16.7 million for the same period of 2019. Additionally, we recorded income tax expense of $115.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $11.5 million for the same period of 2019. The increase in expense is due to the recording of a valuation allowance during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Management monitors company-specific, oil and natural gas industry and worldwide economic factors and assesses the likelihood that
our net deferred tax assets will be utilized prior to their expiration. A significant item of objective negative evidence considered was the cumulative historical three year pre-tax loss and a net deferred tax asset position at June 30, 2020, driven primarily by the impairment of evaluated oil and gas properties recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2020, which limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our potential for future growth. Based on the evaluation of the evidence available during the three months ended June 30, 2020, we concluded that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized and recorded a valuation allowance of $377.6 million, reducing the net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2020 to zero. See “Note 9 - Income Taxes” of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on income tax.
Preferred stock dividends. On July 18, 2019, we redeemed all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, after which, the Preferred Stock was no longer deemed outstanding and dividends ceased to accrue. As such, we did not make any Preferred Stock dividend payments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Preferred Stock dividends of $1.8 million and $3.6 million were paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary uses of capital have historically been for the acquisition, development, and exploration of oil and natural gas properties. Our capital program could vary depending upon factors, including, but not limited to, continued depressed commodity prices, market conditions, our available liquidity and financing, acquisitions and divestitures of oil and gas properties, the availability of drilling rigs and completion crews, the cost of completion services, success of drilling programs, land and industry partner issues, weather delays, the acquisition of leases with drilling commitments and other factors. In addition, depending upon our actual and anticipated sources and uses of liquidity, prevailing market conditions and other factors, we may, from time to time, seek to retire or repurchase our outstanding debt or equity securities through cash purchases in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in aggregate, may be material.
Historically, our primary sources of capital have been cash flows from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, proceeds from the issuance of debt securities and public equity offerings, and non-core asset dispositions. We regularly consider which
37


resources, including debt and equity financings, are available to meet our future financial obligations, planned capital expenditures and liquidity requirements.
Overview of Cash Flow Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents decreased $5.8 million to $7.5 million compared to $13.3 million at December 31, 2019.

Operating activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash provided by operating activities was $289.5 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $225.0 million for the same period in 2019. The change in operating activities was predominantly attributable to the following:
An increase in revenue due to a 161% increase in production volumes predominantly as a result of the Carrizo Acquisition, which was partially offset by a decrease in realized pricing, and
An offsetting increase in operating expenses as a result of higher production volumes.
Production, realized prices, and operating expenses are discussed in Results of Operations. See “Note 7 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and “Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements” of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of the components of the Company’s derivative contracts and disclosures related to derivative instruments including their composition and valuation. 
Investing activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash used in investing activities was $453.7 million compared to $124.5 million for the same period in 2019.

Cash used in investing activities increased by approximately $329.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 due primarily to lower proceeds from the sale of assets during the six months ended June 30, 2020. In 2019 Callon sold certain non-core assets in the southern Midland Basin (the “Ranger Asset Divestiture”) for net cash proceeds of $244.9 million. See Note 3 - “Acquisitions and Divestitures” for further discussion of this divestiture.
Financing activities. We finance a portion of our capital expenditures, acquisitions and working capital requirements with borrowings under our credit facility, term debt and equity offerings. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $158.3 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $100.5 million for the same period of 2019.

See “Note 6 - Borrowings” and “Note 10 - Stockholders’ Equity” of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our debt and equity transactions.
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. We have a senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders that, as of June 30, 2020, had a borrowing base of $1.7 billion, with an elected commitment amount of $1.7 billion, borrowings outstanding of $1.45 billion at a weighted average interest rate of 3.01%, and $19.7 million in letters of credit outstanding. The borrowing base under the credit agreement is subject to regular redeterminations in the spring and fall of each year, as well as special redeterminations described in the credit agreement, which in each case may reduce the amount of the borrowing base. The revolving credit facility is secured by first preferred mortgages covering our major producing properties.
On May 7, 2020, we entered into the first amendment to our credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility. See “Note 6 - Borrowings” of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the first amendment. Primarily as a result of the recent downturn in commodity prices as well as demand as a result of COVID-19, our available liquidity has tightened, however, we expect to have sufficient liquidity to pay interest on our revolving credit facility and our Senior Notes as well as to fund our development program. Upon a redetermination, if any borrowings in excess of the revised borrowing base were outstanding, we could be forced to immediately repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement. Additionally, if the current commodity price environment were to persist for an extended period, our ability to remain in compliance with our restrictive financial covenants could be challenged. If we are unable to remain in compliance with our restrictive financial covenants, we could be subject to lender elections for default resolution.

2020 Capital Plan and Outlook
Our original operational capital budget for 2020 was established at $975.0 million, which included running an average of eight to nine drilling rigs and an average of three completion crews. In response to the decline in commodity prices for oil and natural gas, we reduced activity relative to our original plan, including the suspension of all completion activity in April and transition to one active drilling rig in mid-May. We do not currently have any active rigs or completion crews, but we do intend to resume development activity during the third quarter of 2020. Near-term operational activity will be focused on completing a drilled, but uncompleted inventory of approximately 70 wells in both the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale with one dedicated completion crew. We also intend to return two to three drilling rigs to service later in the third quarter of 2020 for the balance of the year. As a result, we currently forecast total operational capital expenditures of approximately $140.0 to $165.0 million over the remaining two quarters of 2020 and expect operational capital expenditures to be approximately $500.0 to $525.0 million for the full year 2020.
Our revenues, earnings, liquidity, and ability to deliver returns to our shareholders are substantially dependent on the prices we receive for, and our ability to develop our proved reserves. We monitor current and expected market conditions including the commodity price environment and our liquidity needs, and we may adjust our capital investment plan accordingly. Additionally, we may consider divesting certain properties or assets that are not part of our core business or are no longer deemed essential to our future growth, provided we are able to divest such assets on terms that are acceptable to us.

(4)Delivery commitments represent contractual obligations we have entered into for certain gathering, processing and transportation service agreements which require minimum volumes of oil and natural gas to be delivered. The amounts in the table above reflect the aggregate undiscounted deficiency fees assuming no delivery of any oil or natural gas.
(5)Amounts represent our estimates of future asset retirement obligations. Because these costs typically extend many years into the future, estimating these future costs requires management to make estimates and judgments that are subject to future revisions based upon numerous factors, including the rate of inflation, changing technology and the political and regulatory environment.
(6)Produced water disposal commitments represent contractual obligations we have entered into for certain service agreements which require minimum volumes of produced water to be delivered. The amounts in the table above reflect the aggregate undiscounted deficiency fees assuming no delivery of any produced water.
(7)Drilling rig leases represent future minimum expenditure commitments for drilling rig services under contracts to which the Company was a party on June 30, 2020. The value in the table represents the gross amount that we are committed to pay. However, we will record our proportionate share based on our working interest in our consolidated financial statements as incurred.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Certain of such estimates and assumptions are inherently unpredictable and will differ from actual results. We have identified the following critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements: use of estimates, oil and gas properties, oil and gas reserve estimates, derivative instruments, contingent consideration arrangements, income taxes, and commitments and contingencies. These policies and estimates are described in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2019 Annual Report. See “Note 7 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and “Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements” for details of the contingent consideration arrangements. We evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued.
Impairment of Evaluated Oil and Gas Properties
Capitalized costs, less accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, are limited to the “cost center ceiling” equal to (i) the sum of (A) the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and gas reserves, less estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of 10%, (B) the costs of unevaluated properties not being amortized, and (C) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unevaluated properties included in the costs being
42


amortized; less (ii) related income tax effects. If the net capitalized costs exceed the cost center ceiling, the excess is recognized as an impairment of evaluated oil and gas properties. An impairment recognized in one period may not be reversed in a subsequent period even if higher oil and gas prices in the future increase the cost center ceiling applicable to the subsequent period.
The estimated future net revenues used in the cost center ceiling are calculated using the average realized prices for sales of oil and gas on the first calendar day of each month during the preceding 12-month period prior to the end of the current reporting period (“12-Month Average Realized Price”). Prices are held constant indefinitely and are not changed except where different prices are fixed and determinable from applicable contracts for the remaining term of those contracts. Prices do not include the impact of derivative instruments because we elected not to meet the criteria to qualify our derivative instruments for hedge accounting treatment.
Due primarily to declines in the average realized prices for sales of oil and gas on the first calendar day of each month during the trailing 12-month period prior to June 30, 2020, the capitalized costs of oil and gas properties exceeded the cost center ceiling resulting in an impairment in the carrying value of evaluated oil and gas properties for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as summarized in the table below:

End of period 12-Month Average Realized Price ($/Bbl)$45.87  $53.00  
Percent decrease in 12-Month Average Realized Price(16)%(3)%
The decrease in the 12-Month Average Realized Price as of June 30, 2020 reduced our proved oil and gas reserve volumes by less than 2% of our December 31, 2019 proved oil and gas reserves volumes. This reduction was primarily attributable to proved developed reserves of producing wells and proved undeveloped reserves with shorter economic lives. There were no proved undeveloped reserve locations that became uneconomic as a result of the decrease in the 12-Month Average Realized Price as of June 30, 2020. There were no impairments of evaluated oil and gas properties for the three months ended March 31, 2020 or for the corresponding prior year periods.
Based on the first calendar day of each month oil and gas prices available for the 11 months ended August 1, 2020 as well as forecasted costs, we anticipate recording an additional after-tax impairment in the carrying value of oil and gas properties in the third quarter of 2020 in the range of $750.0 million to $1.0 billion. We currently estimate that the forecasted decrease in the 12-Month Average Realized Price as of September 30, 2020 will result in a reduction of our proved oil and gas reserve volumes of less than 1% of our December 31, 2019 proved oil and gas reserves volumes. This estimated reduction is primarily attributable to proved developed reserves of producing wells and proved undeveloped reserves with shorter economic lives. Additionally, we estimate that none of our proved undeveloped reserve locations will be uneconomic and would need to be removed from proved reserves based on these estimated prices. Further impairments in subsequent quarters may occur if the trailing 12-month commodity prices continue to be lower than the comparable trailing 12-month commodity prices applicable to the second and third quarters of 2020. Based on the current outlook for future commodity prices, we do not believe that those prices, if realized, would have a significant adverse impact on our proved oil and gas reserves volumes.

The table below presents various pricing scenarios to demonstrate the sensitivity of our June 30, 2020 cost center ceiling to changes in 12-month average benchmark crude oil and natural gas prices underlying the 12-month average realized prices. The sensitivity analysis is as of June 30, 2020 and, accordingly, does not consider drilling and completion activity, acquisitions or dispositions of oil and gas properties, production, changes in crude oil and natural gas prices, and changes in development and operating costs occurring subsequent to June 30, 2020 that may require revisions to estimates of proved reserves.

Income taxes
The amount of income taxes recorded requires interpretations of complex rules and regulations of federal and state tax jurisdictions. We recognize current tax expense based on estimated taxable income for the current period and the applicable statutory tax rates. We routinely assess potential uncertain tax positions and, if required, estimate and establish accruals for such amounts. We have recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences, operating losses and other tax carryforwards.
Management monitors company-specific, oil and natural gas industry and worldwide economic factors and assesses the likelihood that
our net deferred tax assets will be utilized prior to their expiration. A significant item of objective negative evidence considered was the cumulative historical three year pre-tax loss and a net deferred tax asset position at June 30, 2020, driven primarily by the impairment of evaluated oil and gas properties recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2020, which limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our potential for future growth. Based on the evaluation of the evidence available during the three months ended June 30, 2020, we concluded that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized and recorded a valuation allowance of $377.6 million, reducing the net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2020 to zero.
We will continue to evaluate whether the valuation allowance is needed in future reporting periods. The valuation allowance will remain until we can conclude that the net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. Future events or new evidence which may lead us to conclude that it is more likely than not its net deferred tax assets will be realized include, but are not limited to, cumulative historical pre-tax earnings, improvements in crude oil prices, and taxable events that could result from one or more transactions. The valuation allowance does not preclude us from utilizing the tax attributes if we recognize taxable income. As long as we continue to conclude that the valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets is necessary, we will have no significant deferred income tax expense or benefit. See “Note 9 - Income Taxes” of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding income taxes.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to a variety of market risks including commodity price risk, interest rate risk and counterparty and customer credit risk. We mitigate these risks through a program of risk management including the use of commodity derivative instruments.
Commodity price risk
Our revenues are derived from the sale of its oil, natural gas and NGL production. The prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs remain volatile and sometimes experience large fluctuations as a result of relatively small changes in supply, government actions, economic
44


conditions, and weather conditions. From time to time, we enter into derivative financial instruments to manage oil, natural gas and NGL price risk, related both to NYMEX benchmark prices and regional basis differentials. The total volumes we hedge through use of our derivative instruments varies from period to period. Generally our objective is to hedge approximately 60% of our anticipated internally forecast production for the next 12 to 24 months, subject to the covenants under our Credit Facility. Given the current commodity price environment, we have increased our hedge coverage for 2020 and 2021, however, our hedge policies and objectives may change significantly with movements in commodities prices or futures prices.
As of June 30, 2020, for the remainder of 2020, the Company had 9,706,920 Bbls of fixed price oil hedges across NYMEX WTI, ICE Brent and Argus WTI-Houston benchmarks. The Company also had 4,609,200 Bbls of WTI Midland-Cushing oil basis hedges and 3,256,004 Bbls of WTI Houston-Cushing oil basis hedges. Additionally, for the remainder of 2020, the Company had 9,810,000 MMBtus of fixed price NYMEX natural gas hedges and 12,885,000 MMBtus of Waha natural gas basis hedges. See “Note 7 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s outstanding derivative contracts as of June 30, 2020.
The Company may utilize fixed price swaps, which reduce the Company’s exposure to decreases in commodity prices and limit the benefit the Company might otherwise have received from any increases in commodity prices. Swap contracts may also be enhanced by the simultaneous sale of call or put options to effectively increase the effective swap price as a result of the receipt of premiums from the option sales.
The Company may utilize price collars to reduce the risk of changes in oil and natural gas prices. Under these arrangements, no payments are due by either party as long as the applicable market price is above the floor price (purchased put option) and below the ceiling price (sold call option) set in the collar. If the price falls below the floor, the counterparty to the collar pays the difference to the Company, and if the price rises above the ceiling, the counterparty receives the difference from the Company. Additionally, the Company may sell put options at a price lower than the floor price in conjunction with a collar (three-way collar) and use the proceeds to increase either or both the floor or ceiling prices. In a three-way collar, to the extent that realized prices are below the floor price of the sold put option (or above the ceiling price of the sold call option), the Company’s net realized benefit from the three-way collar will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
The Company may purchase puts, which reduce the Company’s exposure to decreases in oil and natural gas prices while allowing realization of the full benefit from any increases in oil and natural gas prices. If the price falls below the floor, the counterparty pays the difference to the Company.
The Company enters into these various agreements from time to time to reduce the effects of volatile oil and natural gas prices and does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. Presently, none of the Company’s derivative positions are designated as hedges for accounting purposes.
Interest rate risk
The Company is subject to market risk exposure related to changes in interest rates on our indebtedness under our Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $1.45 billion outstanding under the Credit Facility with a weighted average interest rate of 3.01%. An increase or decrease of 1.00% in the interest rate would have a corresponding increase or decrease in our annual net income of approximately $14.5 million, based on the balance outstanding at June 30, 2020. See “Note 6 - Borrowings” of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Company’s interest rates on our Credit Facility.
Counterparty and customer credit risk
The Company’s principal exposures to credit risk are through receivables from the sale of our oil and natural gas production, joint interest receivables and receivables resulting from derivative financial contracts.
The Company markets its oil, natural gas and NGL production to energy marketing companies. We are subject to credit risk due to the concentration of our oil, natural gas and NGL receivables with several significant customers. The inability of our significant customers to meet their obligations to us or their insolvency or liquidation may adversely affect our financial results. In order to mitigate potential exposure to credit risk, we may require from time to time for our customers to provide financial security. At June 30, 2020 our total receivables from the sale of our oil and natural gas production were approximately $74.6 million.
Joint interest receivables arise from billings to entities that own partial interests in the wells we operate. These entities participate in our wells primarily based on their ownership in leases on which we have or intend to drill. We have little ability to control whether these entities will participate in our wells. At June 30, 2020 our joint interest receivables were approximately $9.7 million.
Our oil, natural gas and NGL commodity derivative arrangements expose us to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. All of the counterparties on our commodity derivative instruments currently in place are lenders under our Credit Facility. We are likely to enter into additional commodity derivative instruments with these or other lenders under our Credit Facility, representing institutions with investment grade ratings. We have existing ISDA Agreements with our commodity derivative counterparties. The terms of the ISDA Agreements provide us and the counterparties with rights of offset upon the occurrence of defined acts of default by either us or a counterparty to a commodity derivative, whereby the party not in default may offset all
45


commodity derivative liabilities owed to the defaulting party against all commodity derivative asset receivables from the defaulting party. At June 30, 2020, we had a net commodity derivative liability position of $5.9 million
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2020.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. In April 2020, the Company completed the implementation of Enertia Software (“Enertia”), which is an integrated enterprise solution for managing accounting and financial reporting information, and utilized Enertia for its accounting and reporting for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company believes the implementation of the system and related changes to internal controls will enhance internal controls over financial reporting. The Company has updated its internal controls, as applicable, to facilitate modifications to its business processes and accounting procedures and will continue to evaluate the operating effectiveness of related key controls during subsequent periods. The Company does not believe that the Enertia implementation has had an adverse effect on its internal control over financial reporting.
There were no other changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
