1.	Organization and nature of operations

Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Granite Ridge” the “Company” or the “Successor”) is a Delaware corporation, initially formed in May 2022, whose common stock and warrants are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The Company was created for the purpose of the Business Combination (as defined below), and following the Business Combination, for the purpose of purchasing non-operated oil and natural gas assets in multiple basins in North America and realizing profits through participation in oil and natural gas wells.

On October 24, 2022, the Business Combination closed and was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization and Grey Rock Energy Fund III (as defined below) was determined to be the accounting acquirer and Predecessor (as defined below). Unless otherwise indicated, for the periods prior to October 24, 2022, (i) the historical financial data in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and (ii) the operating and other non-financial data, disclosed in “Part II – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (collectively the “Financial Statement Sections”) reflect the combined business and operations of the Funds (as defined below).

Business Combination

On October 24, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Granite Ridge and Executive Network Partnering Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ENPC”) consummated the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2022 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among ENPC, Granite Ridge, ENPC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Ridge (“ENPC Merger Sub”), GREP Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Ridge (“GREP Merger Sub”), and Granite Ridge Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formerly known as GREP Holdings, LLC (“GREP”).

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, (i) ENPC Merger Sub merged with and into ENPC (the “ENPC Merger”), with ENPC surviving the ENPC Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Ridge and (ii) GREP Merger Sub merged with and into GREP (the “GREP Merger,” and together with the ENPC Merger, the “Mergers”), with GREP surviving the GREP Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Ridge (the transactions contemplated by the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) the “Business Combination,” and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Transactions”).

Immediately prior to the closing of the Transactions, the net assets of Grey Rock Energy Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund I”), Grey Rock Energy Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund II-A”), Grey Rock Energy Fund II-B, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund II-B”) and Grey Rock Energy Fund II-B Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund II-B Holdings”, and together with Fund II-A and Fund II-B, collectively, “Fund II”), and Grey Rock Energy Fund III-A, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund III-A”), Grey Rock Energy Partners Fund III-B, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund III-B”), and Grey Rock Energy Fund III-B Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund III-B Holdings” and together with Fund III-A and Fund III-B, collectively, “Fund III” or “Predecessor”) were transferred (through various intermediary entities) to GREP (“GREP Formation Transaction”). Fund I, Fund II and Fund III are collectively referred to herein as, the “Funds”.

At the special meeting of ENPC stockholders held in connection with the Business Combination, of the 41,400,000 shares of ENPC Class A common stock, public stockholders of 39,343,496 shares of ENPC Class A common stock exercised their rights to have those shares redeemed for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.07 per share, or an aggregate of approximately $396.1 million. The holders of membership interests in GREP (the “Existing GREP Members”) and their direct and indirect members were issued 130.0 million shares of Granite Ridge common stock at the closing. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, each public stockholder’s ENPC common stock and ENPC warrants were automatically converted into an equivalent number of shares of Granite Ridge common stock and Granite Ridge warrants

as a result of the Transactions. At the effective time of the Mergers, (i) 495,357 shares of ENPC Class F common stock were converted to 1,238,393 shares of ENPC Class A common stock (of which an aggregate of 220,348 shares were subsequently forfeited pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Agreement) and the remaining shares of ENPC Class F common stock outstanding were automatically cancelled for no consideration (the “ENPC Class F Conversion”) (ii) all other remaining shares of ENPC Class A common stock automatically cancelled without any conversion, payment or distribution (the “Sponsor Share Cancellation”) and (iii) all shares of ENPC Class B common stock outstanding were deemed transferred to ENPC and surrendered and forfeited for no consideration (the “ENPC Class B Contribution”). 220,348 of the 371,518 shares subject to vesting and forfeiture provisions were forfeited in January 2023.

Following the ENPC Class F Conversion, the Sponsor Share Cancellation, the ENPC Class B Contribution and the separation of the securities offered in ENPC’s initial public offering, which consisted of one share of Class A common stock and one-quarter of one ENPC warrant (“CAPS^TM Separation”), each share of ENPC Class A common stock outstanding was automatically converted into one share of Granite Ridge common stock. Total aggregate investment by ENPC was $6.8 million, which amount represents total risk capital contributed by ENPC, including working capital loans that were forgiven.

Fund III, Fund I and Fund II were identified as entities under common control, in which all entities are ultimately controlled by the same party before and after the GREP Formation Transaction and therefore resulted in a change in reporting entity. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC") 805-50-45-5, for transactions between entities under common control, the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the GREP Formation Transaction have been adjusted to retrospectively combine the previously separate entities for presentation purposes.

Principles of Consolidation

As it pertains to the periods prior to completion of the Business Combination, the financial statements have been presented on a combined historical basis due to their prior common ownership and control. Prior to the Business Combination, the financial statements include the accounts of the Funds, all of which were commonly owned and controlled. All inter-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in combination.

As it pertains to the period subsequent to completion of the Business Combination, the accompanying consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of the Company, and all other wholly owned subsidiaries created in connection with the Business Combination. References to the “Company” prior to October 24, 2022 refer to the combined business of the Funds and references after October 24, 2022 refer to the consolidated business of Granite Ridge Resources, Inc.

Basis of Presentation

As a result of the Business Combination, periods prior to October 24, 2022 reflect Funds as limited partnerships, not as corporations. The primary financial impacts of the Transactions to the consolidated financial statements were (i) reclassification of partnership capital accounts to equity accounts reflective of a corporation and (ii) income tax effects. Since Funds were identified as entities under common control, the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the GREP Formation Transaction have been adjusted to retrospectively combine the previously separate entities for presentation purposes. All intercompany transactions within the consolidated businesses of the Company have been eliminated.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company operates in a one operating segment, which is oil and natural

gas development, exploration and production. All of our operations are conducted in the geographic area of the United States. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, manages operations on a consolidated basis for purposes of evaluating operations and allocating resources.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates of reserves are used to determine depletion and to conduct impairment analysis. Estimating reserves is inherently uncertain, including the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures.

The Company’s estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are, by necessity, projections based on geologic and engineering data, and there are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data as well as the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that are difficult to measure. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data, engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Estimates of economically recoverable oil and natural gas reserves and future net cash flows necessarily depend upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the area compared with production from other producing areas, the assumed effect of regulations by governmental agencies, and assumptions governing future oil and natural gas prices, future operating costs, severance taxes, development costs and work over costs, all of which may in fact vary considerably from actual results. The future drilling costs associated with reserves assigned to proved undeveloped locations may ultimately increase to the extent that these reserves are later determined to be uneconomic. For these reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable quantities of expected oil and natural gas attributable to any particular group of properties, classifications of such reserves based on risk of recovery, and estimates of the future net cash flows may vary substantially. Any significant variance in the assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity of the reserves, which could affect the carrying value of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties and/or the rate of depletion related to the oil and natural gas properties.

Additional significant estimates include, but are not limited to, fair value of derivative financial instrument, fair value of business combinations, asset retirement obligations, revenue receivable and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

Cash and Restricted Cash

Cash represents liquid cash and investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less. The Company places its cash with reputable financial institutions. At times, the balances deposited may exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). However, management believes that the Company’s counterparty risks are minimal based on the reputation and history of the institutions selected. The Company has not incurred any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $0.3 million of cash classified as restricted. This balance relates to a cash deposit for two standby letters of credit associated with oil and natural gas mining lease agreements. Restricted cash consists of cash that is stated at cost, which approximates fair market value. Classification of restricted cash is based on the nature of the restrictions associated with the underlying assets.

Revenue Receivable

Revenue receivable is comprised of accrued oil and natural gas sales. The operators remit payment for production directly to the Company. In the event of complete non-performance by the Company’s customers, the maximum exposure to the Company is the outstanding revenue receivable balance at the date of non-performance. The Company writes off specific accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s bad debt expense and allowance for doubtful accounts was immaterial.

Advance to Operators

The Company participates in the drilling of oil and natural gas wells with other working interest partners. Due to the capital-intensive nature of oil and natural gas drilling activities, our partner operators may request advance payments from working interest partners for their share of the costs. The Company expects such advances to be applied by these operators against joint interest billings for its share of drilling operations within 90 days from when the advance is paid. Changes in advances to operators are presented as an investing outflow within capital expenditures for oil and gas properties, net on the statement of cash flows.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties

The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities, as further defined under ASC 932, Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas (“ASC 932”). Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory leases that find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development leases and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells are capitalized pending determinations of whether the wells have proved reserves. If the Company determines that the wells do not have proved reserves, the costs are charged to expense.

There were no exploratory wells capitalized pending determinations of whether the wells have proved reserves as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Capitalized leasehold costs relating to proved properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. The depletion of capitalized drilling and development costs and integrated assets is based on the unit-of-production method using proved developed reserves. The Company recognized depletion expense of $105.3 million, $94.2 million and $79.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. As a result of the Business Combination, the Company aggregated certain proved properties for amortization and impairment purposes.

Costs of significant nonproducing properties, wells in the process of being drilled and completed and development projects are excluded from depletion until the related project is completed. The Company capitalizes interest on expenditures for significant exploration and development projects that last more than six months while activities are in progress to bring the assets to their intended use. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, no interest costs were capitalized because its exploration and development projects generally last less than six months. Costs incurred to maintain wells and related equipment are charged to expense as incurred.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2017-1, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of Business (“ASU 2017-1”), with the objective of adding guidance to assist in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as asset acquisitions or as business combinations. The guidance provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the acquired assets is concentrated in a single asset or a group of similar assets, the set is not a business. If the screen is not met, to be considered a business, the set must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. See discussions of the Company’s oil and natural gas asset acquisitions and business combinations in Note 5.

Proceeds from the sales of individual properties and the capitalized costs of individual properties sold or abandoned are credited and charged, respectively, to accumulated depletion. Generally, no gain or loss is recognized until the entire depletion base is sold. However, gain or loss is recognized from the sale of less than an entire depletion base if the disposition is significant enough to materially impact the depletion rate of the remaining properties in the depletion base. See Note 5 for additional information on our divestitures. Ordinary maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved oil and natural gas properties, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable, for instance when there are declines in commodity prices or well performance. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. For each property determined to be impaired, an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying value of the properties and the estimated fair value (discounted future cash flows) of the properties and integrated assets would be recognized at that time. Estimating future cash flows involves the use of judgments, including estimation of the proved and risk-adjusted unproved oil and natural gas reserve quantities, timing of development and production, expected future commodity prices, capital expenditures and production costs and cash flows from integrated assets. The Company did not recognize an impairment expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 related to its proved oil and natural gas properties. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized an impairment expense of $5.7 million related to its proved oil and natural gas properties.

Unproved oil and natural gas properties are periodically assessed for impairment by considering future drilling and exploration plans, results of exploration activities, commodity price outlooks, planned future sales and expiration of all or a portion of the projects. The Company did not recognize an impairment expense for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 related to its unproved oil and natural gas properties.

Derivative Instruments- Commodity Derivatives

The Company recognizes its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. The Company nets the fair value of the derivative instruments by counterparty in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets when the right of offset exists. The Company does not have any derivatives designated as fair value or cash flow hedges.

The Company accounts for warrants as liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-operating gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations. For the period during which the Company’s common stock was publicly traded, the fair value of the warrants was based on quoted prices in an active market. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion on fair value considerations.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations. ASC 410-20 requires entities to record the fair value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred. The Company’s asset retirement obligation relates to the plugging, dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities of its oil and natural gas properties. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related oil and natural gas property asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depleted over the useful life of the related asset. Based on certain factors, including commodity prices and costs, the Company may revise its previous estimates of the liability, which would also increase or decrease the related oil and natural gas property asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either

settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss for the difference of the settled amount and recorded liability.

Asset retirement obligations are estimated at the present value of expected future net cash flows and are discounted using the Company’s credit adjusted risk free rate. The Company uses unobservable inputs in the estimation of asset retirement obligations that include, but are not limited to, costs of labor, costs of materials, profits on costs of labor and materials, the effect of inflation on estimated costs, and the discount rate. Due to the subjectivity of assumptions and the relatively long lives of the Company’s leases, the costs to ultimately retire the Company’s leases may vary significantly from prior estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from its interests in the sale of oil and natural gas production. The Company recognizes revenue from its interests in the sales of oil and natural gas in the period that its performance obligations are satisfied.

Performance obligations are satisfied when the customer obtains control of product, when the Company has no further obligations to perform related to the sale, when the transaction price has been determined and when collectability is probable.

The Company receives payment from the sale of oil and natural gas production from one to three months after delivery. The transaction price is variable as it is based on market prices for oil and natural gas, less revenue deductions such as gathering, transportation and compression costs. Management has determined that the variable revenue constraint is overcome at the date control passes to the customer since the variable consideration to be received can be reasonably estimated based on daily market prices and historical transportation charges. Revenue is presented net of these costs within the consolidated statements of operations. At the end of each month when the performance obligation is satisfied, the variable consideration can be reasonably estimated and amounts due from customers are accrued in revenue receivable in the balance sheets. Variances between the Company’s estimated revenue and actual payments are recorded in the month the payment is received; however, differences have been and are insignificant.

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations under its contracts with customers as it applies the practical expedient in accordance with ASC 606. The expedient, as described in ASC 606-10-50-14(a), applies to variable consideration that is recognized as control of the product is transferred to the customer. Since each unit of product represents a separate performance obligation, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.

Non-operated Crude Oil and Natural Gas Revenues

The Company’s proportionate share of production from non-operated properties is generally marketed at the discretion of the operators. For non-operated properties, the Company receives a net payment from the operator representing its proportionate share of sales proceeds which is net of transportation and production tax costs incurred by the operator, if any. Such non-operated revenues are recognized at the net amount of proceeds to be received by the Company during the month in which production occurs and it is probable the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to receive. Proceeds are generally received by the Company within one to three months after the month in which production occurs.

Take-in Kind Oil and Natural Gas Revenues

Under certain arrangements, the Company has the right to take a volume of processed residue gas and/or NGLs in-kind at the tailgate of the midstream customer’s processing plant in lieu of receiving a net payment from the operator representing its proportionate share of its natural gas production. The Company currently takes certain processed gas volumes in kind

in lieu of monetary settlement but does not currently take NGL volumes. When the Company elects to take volumes in kind, it pays third parties to transport the processed products it took in-kind to downstream delivery points, where it then sells to customers at prices applicable to those downstream markets. In such situations, revenues are recognized during the month in which control transfers to the customer at the delivery point and it is probable the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to receive. Sales proceeds are generally received by the Company within one month after the month in which a sale has occurred. In these scenarios, gathering and processing costs and transportation expenses the Company incurs to transport the processed products to downstream customers are recorded in Lease Operating Expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company’s disaggregated revenue has two primary sources: oil sales and natural gas sales. Substantially all of the Company’s oil and natural gas sales come from six geographic areas in the United States: the Eagle Ford Basin (Texas), the Permian Basin (Texas), the Haynesville Basin (Texas/Louisiana), the Denver-Julesburg “DJ” Basin (Colorado), the Bakken Basin (Montana/North Dakota) and the SCOOP/STACK Basin (Oklahoma). The following tables present the disaggregation of the Company’s oil revenues and natural gas revenues by basin for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

Lease Operating Expenses

Lease operating expenses represents field employees’ salaries, saltwater disposal, repairs and maintenance, expensed work overs and other operating expenses. Lease operating expenses are expensed as incurred.

Production and Ad Valorem Taxes

The Company incurs production taxes on the sale of its production. These taxes are reported on a gross basis. Production taxes for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $26.9 million, $17.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

The Company incurs ad valorem tax on the value of its properties in certain states. Ad valorem taxes for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $3.7 million, $1.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

Income Taxes

Prior to the Business Combination, GREP and the associated activities held by Funds were treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and were not subject to U.S. federal income tax. As a result of the Business Combination, the Company became a C corporation and is subject to U.S. federal income tax and state and local income taxes, and accounts

for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated by applying existing tax laws and the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rate on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

A valuation allowance is provided for deferred income taxes if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits or if future deductibility is uncertain. Additionally, the Company evaluates tax positions under a more likely than not recognition threshold and measurement analysis before the positions are recognized for financial statement reporting. For further discussion, see Note 7.

Recently Issued and Applicable Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” which requires all leases greater than one year to be recognized as assets and liabilities. This ASU also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. Oil and gas leases are excluded from the guidance. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2022 and there was no material impacts to our consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” which replaces the current “incurred loss” methodology for recognizing credit losses with an “expected loss” methodology. This new methodology requires that a financial asset measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This standard is intended to provide more timely decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments. This guidance becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, however, the impact is not expected to be material.

Derivative financial instruments

3.	Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments in connection with its oil and natural gas operations to provide an economic hedge of the Company’s exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil and natural gas production. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company does not designate its derivative instruments to qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, the Company reflects changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments in its consolidated statements of operations as they occur.

Collar and Producer 3-way Option Contracts

The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of collar and producer 3-way option contracts.

A collar option is established with the sale of a short call option and the purchase of a long put option set to expire at a predetermined date in the future. The options give the owner the right but not the obligation to exercise the option at the expiration date.

A producer 3-way contract is established with the sale of a short call option and the purchase of a long put option set to expire at a predetermined date in the future. However, the producer 3-way contract also includes the sale of a short put option set to expire at a predetermined date in the future. The options give the owner the right but not the obligation to exercise the option at the expiration date.

The Company has master netting agreements on individual derivative instruments with certain counterparties and therefore certain amounts may be presented on a net basis in the consolidated balance sheets.

Common stock warrants

On October 24, 2022, in connection with the Business Combination, the Company issued 10,349,975 common stock warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Granite Ridge’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share. The common stock warrants became exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination and will expire five-years after the completion of the Business Combination. The Company has the right to

redeem the common stock warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant when the price of Granite Ridge’s common stock equals or exceeds $ 18.00 for 20 days within a 30-day trading period.

The common stock warrants were initially recognized as a liability with a fair value of $12.3 million and were remeasured to a fair value of $11.9 million as of December 31, 2022. We recognized a gain of $0.4 million during 2022 from the change in fair value of the warrant liability in the consolidated statements of operations. No common stock warrants were exercised during 2022.

Fair value measurements

Fair value measurements

4.	Fair value measurements

The Company has adopted and follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for measurement and disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs (other than quoted market prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

Level 3 — Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Valuation of instruments includes unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, which was further clarified as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“an exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

As required, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2022 and 2021:


	December 31, 2022					December 31, 2021
(in thousands)	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Assets:
Derivative instruments - commodity derivatives	$	10,089	$	10,089	$	465	$	465

Derivative instruments - commodity derivatives	$	431	$	431	$	7,920	$	7,920

Revolving credit facilities — The carrying amounts of the revolving credit facilities approximate their fair values, as the applicable interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates.

Other financial assets and liabilities — The carrying amounts of the Company’s other financial assets and liabilities, such as revenue receivable and accrued expenses due to sellers, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Derivative instruments - commodity derivatives — The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is estimated by management considering various factors, including closing exchange and over-the-counter quotations and the time value of the underlying commitments. The fair value of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments is considered to be a Level 2 measurement. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the derivative instrument, can be derived from observable data, or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. The Company’s valuation models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various inputs including: (i) quoted forward prices for commodities, (ii) current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, (iii) applicable credit-adjusted risk-free rate curves, as well as other relevant economic measures.

Derivative instruments - common stock warrants — The fair value of the Company’s common stock warrant liability is valued using the instrument’s publicly listed trading price as of the balance sheet date, which is considered to be a Level 1 measurement due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The following tables summarize (i) the valuation of each of the Company’s financial instruments by required fair value hierarchy levels and (ii) the gross fair value by the appropriate balance sheet classification even when the derivative instruments are subject to netting arrangements and qualify for net presentation in the Company’s

consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company nets the fair value of commodity derivative instruments by counterparty in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Values – Non Recurring

Impairments of long-lived assets — The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved oil and natural gas properties and their integrated assets, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable, for instance when there are declines in commodity prices or well performance. The Company reviews its oil and natural gas properties by depletion base. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. If the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the Company’s assets, it recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.

The Company calculates the expected undiscounted future net cash flows of its long-lived assets and their integrated assets using management’s assumptions and expectations of (i) commodity prices, which are based on the NYMEX strip, (ii) pricing adjustments for differentials, (iii) production costs, (iv) capital expenditures, (v) production volumes, (vi) estimated proved reserves, and (vii) prevailing market rates of income and expenses from integrated assets.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s estimates of commodity prices for purposes of determining undiscounted future cash flows, which are based on the NYMEX strip, ranged from a 2023 price of $79.12 per barrel of oil decreasing to a 2027 price of $64.14 per barrel of oil. Natural gas prices ranged from a 2023 price of $4.26 per Mcf of natural gas increasing to a 2027 price of $4.50 per Mcf. Both oil and natural gas commodity prices for this purpose were held flat after 2027.

The Company calculates the estimated fair values of its long-lived assets and their integrated assets using a discounted future cash flow model. Fair value assumptions associated with the calculation of discounted future net cash flows include (i) market estimates of commodity prices, which are based on the NYMEX strip, (ii) pricing adjustments for differentials, (iii) production costs, (iv) capital expenditures, (v) production volumes, (vi) estimated proved reserves, (vii) prevailing market rates of income and expenses from integrated assets and (viii) discount rate. The expected future net cash flows are discounted using an annual rate of 10 percent to determine fair value. These are classified as Level 3 fair value assumptions.

The Company did not recognize any impairment loss during the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the carrying value of oil and natural gas properties were impaired to an estimated fair value. The fair value of oil and natural gas assets impaired, based on the grouping of the oil and natural gas assets by basin, was approximately $4.9 million at December 31, 2020, resulting in impairment losses of approximately $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The grouping of oil and natural gas assets impaired included the SCOOP/STACK and Bakken basins, whose fair values were approximately $1.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020.

Asset retirement obligations — The fair value measurements of asset retirement obligations are measured on a nonrecurring basis when a well is drilled or acquired or when production equipment and facilities are installed or acquired using a discounted cash flow model based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. Significant inputs to the fair value measurement of asset retirement obligations include estimates of the costs of plugging and abandoning oil and natural 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 natural gas wells and future inflation rates.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

5.	Acquisitions and Divestitures

The Company follows ASU 2017-1 in evaluating whether acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as asset acquisitions or as business combinations. The majority of the Company’s acquisitions during 2022, 2021 and 2020 qualified as asset acquisitions. Acquisitions that qualified as business combinations, as discussed below, were accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.

6.	Asset retirement obligations

The Company recognizes the fair value of its asset retirement obligations related to the future costs of plugging, abandonment, and remediation of oil and natural gas producing properties at the times the obligations are incurred. Upon initial recognition of a liability, that cost is capitalized as part of the related oil and natural gas properties and allocated to expense over the useful life of the asset. Our asset retirement obligations primarily represent the present value of the estimated amount we will incur to plug, abandon and remediate our proved producing properties at the end of their productive lives, in accordance with applicable state laws.

The following table presents the changes in the asset retirement obligations during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020:

7.Income taxes

In 2022, the Company became the sole owner of GREP. GREP is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Prior to the Business Combination, GREP and the associated activities held by Funds were treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and were not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Any taxable income or loss generated prior to the Business Combination was passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members. As a result of the Business Combination, the Funds' net assets were transferred to the Company resulting in carryover tax basis of those assets. The Company is a C corporation and subject to U.S. federal income tax and state and local income taxes.

The Components of income tax expense were as follows for the periods indicated:


	Year Ended December 31,

State		1,406		—		—
		12,850		—		—
Income tax expense	$	12,850	$	—	$	—

The Company's effective tax rate was 4.7%, 0% and 0% for years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the enacted statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the allocations of profits and losses to ultimate members prior to the Business Combination and the impact of state income taxes.

The following reconciles the income tax expense included in the consolidated statements of operations with the income tax expense that would result from the application of the statutory federal tax rate:


	Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands)	2022		2021		2020
Income (loss) before income taxes	$	275,194	$	108,459	$	(23,930)

Income tax expense	$	12,850	$	—	$	—
Effective tax rate		4.7%		0.0%		0.0%

Significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the table below:


	Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands)	2022		2021
Deferred tax assets
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	11,500	$	—
Asset retirement obligation		1,128		—

Unrealized derivatives		(2,196)		—
Total deferred tax liabilities		(104,308)		—
Net deferred tax liability	$	(91,592)	$	—

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had accumulated federal net operating loss carryforward of $51.6 million, none of which are expected to expire, and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $51.6 million in states that allow net operating loss carryforward, some of which begin to expire in 2042. Utilization of these net operating losses may be limited if there were to be an ownership change as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As of December 31, 2022, the Company does not believe any of its net operating losses were limited under these rules.

The Company is subject to the various taxing jurisdictions in the United States, including federal and certain state jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has no current tax years under audit. The Company remains subject to examination for federal income taxes for tax years 2019 through 2022 and state income taxes for tax years 2018 through 2022.

The Company has evaluated all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open and believes that the material positions taken would more likely than not be sustained upon examination. Therefore, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and did not recognize any interest or penalties during those respective periods related to unrecognized tax benefits.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (the "IRA") was enacted into law and includes significant changes related to tax, climate change, energy and health care. The provisions within IRA, among other things, include (i) a new 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on certain large corporations, (ii) a new nondeductible 1% excise tax on the value of certain stock that a company repurchases, and (iii) various tax incentives for energy and climate initiatives. Each of these provisions are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The Department of Treasury is expected to publish regulations relevant to many aspects of the IRA. The Company is currently awaiting such guidance and continues to evaluate the effect of the new law to its future cash flows and financial results. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the IRA on its cash taxes and income tax expense for the 2023 tax year.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Total long-term debt	$	—	$	1,100

The Funds’ Credit Facilities

The Funds maintained three revolving credit facilities prior to the Business Combination, with an aggregate outstanding balance of $51.1 million as of December 31, 2021. The Funds repaid all amounts outstanding under these credit facilities and terminated these credit facilities on October 24, 2022 in connection with the closing of the Business Combination and Granite Ridge’s entry into a new credit facility.

Granite Ridge Credit Agreement

On October 24, 2022, Granite Ridge entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among Granite Ridge, as borrower, Texas Capital Bank, as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of five years from the effective date thereof.

The Credit Agreement provides for aggregate elected commitments of $150.0 million, an initial borrowing base of $325.0 million and an aggregate maximum revolving credit amount of $1.0 billion. The borrowing base is scheduled to be redetermined semiannually on or about April 1 and October 1 of each calendar year, commencing April 1, 2023, and is subject to additional adjustments from time to time, including for asset sales, elimination or reduction of hedge positions and incurrence of other debt. Additionally, the borrower and each of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) may request one unscheduled redetermination of the borrowing base between each scheduled redetermination. The amount of the borrowing base is determined by the lenders in their sole discretion and consistent with the oil and gas lending criteria of the lenders at the time of the relevant redetermination. The amount Granite Ridge is able to borrow under the Credit Agreement is subject to compliance with the financial covenants, satisfaction of various conditions precedent to borrowing and other provisions of the Credit Agreement. Granite Ridge does not have any borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2022, resulting in availability of $150.0 million. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the restricted subsidiaries of Granite Ridge and is secured by a first priority mortgage and security interest in substantially all assets of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be base rate loans or secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) loans. Interest is payable quarterly for base rate loans and at the end of the applicable interest period for SOFR loans. SOFR loans bear interest at SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 250 to 350 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized, plus an additional 10, 15 or 20 basis point credit spread adjustment for a one, three or six month interest period, respectively. Base rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of: (i) the U.S. prime rate as published by the Wall Street Journal; (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points; and (iii) the adjusted SOFR rate for a one-month interest period plus 100 basis points, plus an applicable margin ranging from 150 to 250 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. We also pay a commitment fee on unused elected commitment amounts under its facility of 50 basis points. We may repay any amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement prior to the maturity date without any premium or penalty.

The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of the following financial ratios:

(i)

a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to EBITDAX (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to certain adjustments, of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022), and

(ii)

a current ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to certain adjustments, of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022).

At December 31, 2022, the Company, was in compliance with all covenants required by the Credit Agreement.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.

Equity

Equity

As a result of the Business Combination, periods prior to December 31, 2022 reflect Granite Ridge as a limited partnership, not a corporation.

On the date of the Transactions, the capital of the Funds consisted of general partner interests and limited partner interests. The general partner interest was a non-economic, management interest. The general partner was granted full and complete power and authority to manage and conduct the business and affairs of the Funds and to take all such actions as it deemed necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purpose of the Funds. In connection with the Business Combination, the net assets of the Funds were transferred to GREP, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Ridge. For additional information regarding the Business Combination, see Note 1.

At December 31, 2022, the Company had 431,000,000 authorized shares of capital stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share, and had issued 133,294,897 shares of common stock.

In connection with the closing of the Transaction, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Granite Ridge 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“the Plan”), which provides for granting, among others, stock options, restricted stock awards and other awards to directors, officers, employees and consultants or advisors employed by or providing service to the Company. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Plan will not exceed 6,500,000 shares. No shares were issued under the Plan as of December 31, 2022

Common stock dividends - The Company paid dividends of $10.7 million, or $0.08 per share during the fourth quarter of 2022. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Share repurchase program - In December 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for up to $50.0 million of the Company’s common stock through December 31, 2023. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company will repurchase shares of its common stock from time to time in open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions as permitted under applicable rules and regulations. The Board of

Directors of the Company may limit or terminate the stock repurchase program at any time without prior notice, but, with no further action of the Board of Directors of the Company, the stock repurchase program will terminate on December 31, 2023.

At December 31, 2022, the Company had repurchased 25,920 shares under the program at an aggregate cost of $0.2 million. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares of common stock, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon market conditions and other considerations as may be considered in the Company’s sole discretion.

Previous Capitalization

Prior to the Business Combination, the partners’ capital attributable to the Funds was divided into two classifications: (1) General Partner and (2) Limited Partners. On the date of the Business Combination, the General Partner and Limited Partner’s capital was exchanged for 130 million shares of common stock. See Note 1 for additional information on these and other transactions related to the Business Combination.

Vesting Shares

As discussed in Note 1, 495,357 shares of Class F common stock of ENPC were converted into 1,238,393 shares of Class A common stock of ENPC, 371,518 of which became subject to certain vesting and forfeiture provisions upon their conversion to the Company’s common stock in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement (the “Vesting Shares”). Based on an assessment of the Vesting Shares, the Company considered ASC 480 and accounted for the Vesting Shares as a liability. On the date of the Business Combination, the Company recorded a liability related to the Vesting Shares of $1.3 million. In January 2023, 151,170 of these shares vested and the remaining shares were forfeited.

Under the MSA, the Manager will provide general management, administrative and operating services covering the oil and gas assets and other properties of the Company and other day-to-day business and affairs of the Company. In accordance with the MSA, the Company shall pay the Manager an annual services fee of $10.0 million and shall reimburse the Manager for certain Granite Ridge group costs related to the operation of the Company’s assets (including for third party costs allocated or attributable to the Assets). The initial term of the MSA expires on April 30, 2028; however, the MSA will automatically renew for additional consecutive one-year renewal terms until terminated in accordance with its terms. Upon any termination of the MSA, the Manager shall provide transition services for a period of up to 90 days. At December 31, 2022, service fees for the Company under the MSA were approximately $1.9 million.

Prior to the Transaction, the Company paid an annual management fee to an entity under common control as compensation for providing managerial services to the Company.

The Company is subject to various possible contingencies that arise primarily from interpretation of federal and state laws and regulations affecting the oil and gas industry. Such contingencies include differing interpretations as to the prices at which oil and natural gas sales may be made, the prices at which royalty owners may be paid for production from their leases, environmental issues and other matters. Although management believes that it has complied with the various laws

and regulations, administrative rulings and interpretations thereof, adjustments could be required as new interpretations and regulations are issued. In addition, environmental matters are subject to regulation by various federal and state agencies.

On the Closing Date of the Business Combination, the Company entered into the MSA agreement between Granite Ridge and the Manager whereby the Company shall pay the Manager an annual services fee of $10.0 million and shall reimburse the Manager for certain Granite Ridge group costs.

12.	Risk Concentrations

As a non-operator, 100% of the Company’s wells are operated by third-party operating partners. As a result, the Company is highly dependent on the success of these third-party operators. If they are not successful in the development, exploitation, production and exploration activities relating to the Company’s leasehold interests, or are unable or unwilling to perform, the Company’s financial condition and results of operation could be adversely affected. These risks are heightened in a low commodity price environment, which may present significant challenges to these third-party operators. The Company’s third-party operators will make decisions in connection with their operations that may not be in the Company’s best interests, and the Company may have little or no ability to exercise influence over the operational decisions of its third-party operators.

The following table sets forth the percentage of revenues attributable to third-party operating partners who have accounted for 10% or more of revenues attributable to the Company’s assets during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.


Major Operators	2022		2021		2020
Operator A	*		*		11	%
Operator B	*		*		13	%
Operator C	12	%	12	%	17	%
Operator D	*		15	%	*
Operator E	10	%	*		*
Operator F	10	%	*		*

*Less than 10%

No other operator accounted for 10% or more of revenue attributable to the Company’s assets on a combined basis in the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, or 2020. The loss of any such operator could adversely affect revenues attributable to the Company’s assets in the short term.

In the normal course of business, the Company maintains its cash balances in financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company is subject to credit risk to the extent any financial institution with which it conducts business is unable to fulfill contractual obligations on its behalf. Management monitors the financial condition of such financial institutions and does not anticipate any losses from these counterparties.

Derivative counterparties - The Company uses credit and other financial criteria to evaluate the creditworthiness of counterparties to its derivative instruments. The Company believes that all of its derivative counterparties are currently acceptable credit risks. All of the Company’s outstanding derivative instruments are covered by either International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreements (“ISDAs”) entered into with parties that are also lenders under the Company’s revolving credit facility or parties under the Hedge Intercreditor Agreement. The Company’s obligation under the derivative instruments are secured pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and no additional collateral had been posted by the Company.

13. Earnings Per Share

The Company’s basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding (if dilutive) during each period.

The following table presents the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020:


	December 31,
(in thousands)	2022		2021		2020
Net income (loss)	$	262,344	$	108,459	$	(23,930)

Weighted average common shares outstanding:
Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic		132,923		132,923		132,923
Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted		133,074		132,923		132,923

Net income (loss) per common share:
Basic	$	1.97	$	0.82	$	(0.18)
Diluted	$	1.97	$	0.82	$	(0.18)

Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding include certain Vesting Shares, as defined in Note 9, that are expected to vest in January 2023. There were no dilutive securities outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Diluted net earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2022 excluded 10,349,975 common stock warrants outstanding as inclusion of these items would be antidilutive.
