NEWS RELEASE
PARSLEY ENERGY ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2020 FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS
AUSTIN, Texas, October 28, 2020 – Parsley Energy, Inc. (NYSE: PE) (“Parsley,” “Parsley Energy,” or the “Company”) today announced financial and operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
Recent Highlights
•Generated positive free cash flow(1) in 3Q20.
•Paid 3Q20 quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share on September 18, 2020 and declared 4Q20 quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share(2) payable on December 18, 2020.
•3Q20 net oil production decreased 1% quarter-over-quarter and increased 21% year-over-year to 111.0 MBo per day. Total 3Q20 net production averaged 183.2 MBoe per day.
•Recently announced a definitive merger agreement to be acquired by Pioneer Natural Resources Company (“Pioneer”) in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $7.6 billion, inclusive of assumed debt, expected to close in 1Q21.
Operational Update
During the third quarter of 2020, the Company placed on production 26 gross operated horizontal wells. Parsley’s average working interest on wells placed on production was approximately 88%, with an average completed lateral length of approximately 9,700 feet. The Company placed on production 15 gross operated horizontal wells in the Midland Basin, with the remainder placed on production in the Delaware Basin.
After reactivating development activity in July, Parsley delivered steady improvements in drilling and completion efficiency(3) within each basin. Notably, in the Delaware Basin, Parsley drilled its first two three-mile lateral wells in under 29 days each, which helped drive a new Company-record for Delaware drilling efficiency in 3Q20. Parsley attributes these recent drilling efficiency gains to enhancements made to the Company’s remote operational command center during the activity shutdown in May and June. As operational efficiency gains take hold, the Company is delivering leading edge well costs below $850 per foot in the Delaware Basin.
In line with prior Company commentary, Parsley deployed two additional rigs in late October, bringing the current number of active operated rigs to four. The Company expects to continue operating four rigs and one-to-two frac spreads for the remainder of 2020.
Financial Update
Profitability
During 3Q20, the Company recorded net income attributable to its stockholders of $22.6 million, or $0.06 per share. Excluding, on a tax-adjusted basis, certain items that the Company does not view as indicative of its ongoing financial performance, adjusted net income for 3Q20 was $82.6 million, or $0.22 per share.(1)
Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, and exploration expense (“Adjusted EBITDAX”) for 3Q20 was $290.2 million.(1)
Realized Pricing
During 3Q20, Parsley reported an average unhedged oil price realization of $37.19 per Bbl net of transportation costs, representing a discount of $3.73 to the average WTI Cushing price(4) for the quarter.
Operating Costs
During the third quarter of 2020, the Company reported lease operating expense (“LOE”) per Boe of $3.19, down 14% versus 2Q20 expense levels despite stable production volumes. Favorable LOE unit cost trends were driven by supplier price reductions and continued utilization of the Company’s integrated water handling system.
Both general and administrative expense (“G&A”) per Boe and cash based G&A per Boe(1), which excludes stock-based compensation expense, decreased quarter-over-quarter to $1.97 and $1.59, respectively. Encouraging G&A cost trends are a function of ongoing corporate cost savings initiatives.

Capital Expenditures
Parsley reported capital expenditures of $85 million during the third quarter of 2020, comprised of $84 million for operated drilling, completion, and equipment activity, and $1 million associated with water infrastructure and non-operated development activity.
Return of Capital Program
Today, Parsley Energy’s board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share.(2) The dividend is payable on December 18, 2020, to shareholders of record on December 8, 2020.
Liquidity and Hedging
The Company entered into an amendment to its revolving credit agreement on October 19, 2020, which reaffirmed its borrowing base at $2.7 billion and increased the elected commitment amount from $1.075 billion to $1.1 billion.
As of September 30, 2020, Parsley had approximately $767.7 million of liquidity, consisting of $4.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and an availability of $763.0 million on the Company’s revolver.(5)

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDAX
Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income (loss) as determined by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by the Company’s management and external users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before depreciation, depletion and amortization, exploration and abandonment costs, net interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, change in Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) liability, stock-based compensation, acquisition costs, impairment on long-lived assets, (gain) loss on early extinguishment of debt, gain on sale of property, rig termination costs, restructuring and other termination costs, accretion of asset retirement obligations, loss (gain) on derivatives, net settlements on derivative instruments, net premiums on options that settled during the period and other.
Management believes Adjusted EBITDAX is useful because it allows the Company to more effectively evaluate its operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. The Company excludes the items listed above from net loss in arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within its industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structure, and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDAX. The Company’s computations of Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDAX is useful to investors as a widely followed measure of operating performance.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAX to the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) attributable to Parsley Energy, Inc. stockholders for each of the periods indicated.

Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is not a measure of net cash provided by operating activities as determined by GAAP. Free cash flow is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by the Company, analysts and investors as an indicator of the Company’s ability to manage its operating cash flow, internally fund its exploration and development activities, pay dividends, and to service or incur additional debt, without regard to the timing of settlement of either operating assets and liabilities or accounts payable related to capital expenditures. The Company believes that this measure, as so adjusted, presents a meaningful indicator of the Company’s actual sources and uses of capital associated with its operations conducted during the applicable period. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions and acquisition and cash restructuring costs related to the acquisition of Jagged Peak, less accrual-based development capital expenditures. The amounts included in the calculation of free cash flow were computed in accordance with GAAP.
Free cash flow is provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in its SEC filings and posted on its website. The following table provides a reconciliation of free cash flow to the GAAP financial measure of net cash provided by operating activities.

Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted net income is not a measure of net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income is a supplemental non-GAAP performance measure used by the Company’s management to evaluate financial performance, prior to loss (gain) on derivatives, net settlements on derivative instruments, net premiums on options that settled during the period, loss (gain) on sale of property, rig termination costs, restructuring and other termination costs, exploration and abandonment costs, impairment of long-lived assets, acquisition costs, change in TRA liability, (gain) loss on early extinguishment of debt, and other, while adjusting for changes in noncontrolling interests, the associated changes in estimated income tax and changes to deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Management believes adjusted net income is useful because it may enhance investors’ ability to assess Parsley’s historical and future financial performance. Adjusted net income should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, consolidated net income (loss), operating income (loss), or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted net income to the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) attributable to Parsley Energy, Inc. stockholders.

(3)
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the number of weighted average diluted shares used to calculate actual net income (loss) per share is based on the fact that, under the “if converted” and “treasury stock” methods, Class B Common Stock and shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units, respectively, were not recognized because the effect would have been antidilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the number of weighted average diluted shares used to calculate actual net income (loss) per share is based on the fact that, under the “if converted” method, Class B Common Stock was not recognized because the effect would have been antidilutive.
(4)For purposes of calculating adjusted net income per diluted share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, Class B Common Stock was not recognized because the shares would have been antidilutive using the “if converted” method.
