Represents cash payments during the period

For the second quarter of 2019, Harvest reported a net loss of $60.9 million, or $(6.05) per basic and diluted weighted average share outstanding compared to a net loss of $35.8 million, or $(3.56) per basic and diluted weighted average share outstanding, for the first quarter of 2019. For the second quarter of 2018, a net loss of $595.6 million was reported, which reflects the combined results of two months ended May 31, 2018 (Predecessor) and one month ended June 30, 2018 (Successor). Included in the 2019 second quarter net loss were the following items:

$73.2 million of impairment of oil and natural gas properties primarily related to the Barnett Shale, which was held for sale as of June 30, 2019,

$13.6 million of non-cash gains on commodity derivatives,

$0.5 million of divestiture related expense contained in general and administrative expenses,

$0.7 million of litigation settlement expenses contained in general and administrative expenses, and

$0.7 million of stock-based compensation costs contained in general and administrative expenses.

Production for the second quarter of 2019 was 7.1 Bcf of natural gas, 146 MBbls of oil and 369 MBbls of natural gas liquids (NGLs), or 112.3 million cubic feet equivalent per day (MMcfe/d). This represents an 18 percent decrease from the first quarter of 2019 production of 137.2 MMcfe/d and a 38 percent decrease from the second quarter of 2018 production of 181.8 MMcfe/d. The decrease in production from the first quarter of 2019 was primarily due to the divestiture of oil and gas properties in the San Juan Basin that closed in April 2019, as well as a divestiture in the Mid-Continent area that closed in January 2019 and natural production declines. The decrease in production from the second quarter of 2018 was primarily due to the divestiture of the Central Texas and Karnes County, Texas properties that closed in August 2018, the Central Texas area divestiture that closed in December 2018, the Mid-Continent area divestitures that closed in December 2018, January 2019, and April 2019, the San Juan Basin divestiture that closed in April 2019 and natural production declines.

Adjusted EBITDAX for the second quarter of 2019 was $6.9 million, a 45 percent decrease from the first quarter of 2019 and a 76 percent decrease from the second quarter of 2018. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDAX from the first quarter of 2019 was primarily due to the San Juan divestiture that closed in April 2019, the Mid-Continent area divestiture that closed

in April 2019, and a decrease in realized natural gas and natural gas liquids prices, partially offset by an increase in realized hedge gains compared to the previous period, an increase in other income, and an increase in realized oil prices. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDAX from the second quarter of 2018 was primarily due to the divestitures that closed in 2018, January 2019 and April 2019, and a decrease in realized oil and natural gas liquids prices, partially offset by an increase in realized commodity hedge gains, an increase in other income, and an increase in realized natural gas prices. Adjusted EBITDAX is a Non-GAAP financial measures and is described in the attached table under “Non-GAAP Measures.”

Divestitures

Barnett Shale

As previously announced in July 2019, Harvest has entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of its interests in the Barnett Shale for $72 million (subject to purchase price adjustments). The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2019 and has an effective date of April 1, 2019.

Harvest’s Barnett Shale production for the first six months of 2019 averaged 54.5 MMcfe per day. The estimated proved reserves as of December 31, 2018 for the interests being divested, using SEC prices, were 276.6 Bcfe (62% natural gas, 37% natural gas liquids and 1% crude oil).

Mid-Continent Area

In July 2019, Harvest entered into a definitive agreement to sell certain oil and gas properties in the Mid-Continent area located in the Anadarko Basin and Scoop-Stack for $6.5 million (subject to purchase price adjustments). The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2019 and has an effective date of January 1, 2019.

Harvest’s Mid-Continent production for the first six months of 2019 for the interests being divested averaged 7.8 MMcfe per day. The estimated proved reserves as of December 31, 2018 for the interests being divested, using SEC prices, were 18.5 Bcfe (61% natural gas, 19% natural gas liquids and 20% crude oil).

Harvest is currently considering ways to return net proceeds from its asset sales to shareholders.

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAX as net (loss) income plus income taxes; interest expense, net; depreciation, depletion and amortization; accretion expense on obligations; loss (gain) on derivatives, net; cash settlements of matured commodity derivative contracts; non-cash equity-based compensation; impairment of oil and natural gas properties; non-cash oil inventory adjustment; dry hole and exploration costs; gain on sales of oil and natural gas properties; reorganization items, net; and (gain) loss on equity securities.

Adjusted EBITDAX is used by the Company’s management to provide additional information and statistics relative to the performance of the business, including (prior to the creation of any reserves) the cash return on investment. The Company believes this financial measure may indicate to investors whether or not it is generating cash flow at a level that can support

or sustain quarterly interest expense and capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAX excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and operating income and this measure may vary among companies. Therefore, Harvest’s Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
