Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.




On February 7, 2022, in connection with the Notes Offering (as defined below),
Crescent Energy Company (NYSE: CRGY) ("CRGY" or "our," "us," or "we") provided
certain updated disclosures to potential investors, the relevant excerpts of
which are set forth below.

Preliminary Production Data for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2021



As of the date of this current report, we have not finalized our financial and
operational results for the three months or the year ended December 31, 2021.
However, based on preliminary information, we estimate that our December
production ranged from 112 to 118 MBoe/d including Contango (as defined below)
production after the close of the Merger Transactions (as defined below) on
December 7, 2021.

This preliminary estimate is derived from our internal records and is based on
the most current information available to management as to the outcome and
timing of future events, including current planned capital expenditures,
drilling activity, commodity prices and well results, as well as current
expected unit costs for 2022. This preliminary estimate has not been audited or
reviewed by our independent auditors nor have our independent auditors performed
any procedures with respect to this information or expressed any opinion or any
form of assurance on such information. This preliminary estimate is preliminary,
unaudited and inherently uncertain. Our normal reporting processes with respect
to the foregoing preliminary estimate have not been fully completed and our
auditors have not completed an audit or review of such estimate. During the
course of our and our auditors' review on this preliminary estimate, we could
identify items that would require us to make adjustments and which could affect
our final results. Any such adjustments could be material. This preliminary
estimate should not be viewed as indicative of our financial condition or
results as of or for any future period. Actual results could differ from the
estimates, trends and expectations discussed herein, and such differences could
be material.

In addition, the information contained in Item 8.01 of this Current Report is incorporated into this Item 2.02 by reference.



The information in this Item 2.02 shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes
of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not
incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Exchange Act.

On February 7, 2022, Crescent Energy Finance LLC ("CE Finance"), a subsidiary of
CRGY, issued a news release announcing that, subject to market conditions, CE
Finance intends to offer (the "Notes Offering") for sale in a private placement

Item 8.01 Other Events.




On February 7, 2022, in connection with the Notes Offering (as defined below),
CRGY provided certain updated disclosures to potential investors, the relevant
excerpts of which are set forth below.

                                     ******

Our proved developed producing ("PDP") reserves as of December 31, 2021 have
estimated average five-year and ten-year annual decline rates of approximately
11% and 10%, respectively, and an estimated 2022 PDP decline rate of 17%, based
on production type curves used in our reserve reports. As a result of this low
decline profile, we require relatively minimal capital expenditures to maintain
our production and cash flows. Our properties located in the Eagle Ford, Barnett
and the Rockies represent approximately 78% of our PD reserves as of
December 31, 2021 and provide us with diversification from both a regional
location and commodity price perspective, which provides us certain downside
protection as it relates to commodity-specific pressures, isolated
infrastructure constraints or severe weather events. The table below illustrates
the aggregate leasehold acreage positions, reserve volumes and weighted average
decline profiles associated with our proved assets as of December 31, 2021 and
our pro forma production for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

December 31, 2021 for the five-year period ending January 31, 2027 and the

ten-year period ending January 31, 2032 in each case based on the production

type curves used in estimating our proved reserves.

(2) Reflects the net proved and net PD present values reflected in our proved

reserve estimates as of January 1, 2022. PV-10 is not a financial measure

prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles

("GAAP"). Neither PV-10 or standardized measure represent an estimate of the

fair market value of our oil and natural gas properties. We believe that the

presentation of PV-10 is relevant and useful to our investors as supplemental

disclosure to the standardized measure of future net cash flows, or after tax

amount, because it presents the discounted future net cash flows attributable

to our reserves prior to taking into account future income taxes and our

current tax structure. We and others in the industry use PV-10 as measures to

compare the relative size and value of proved reserves held by companies

without regard to the specific tax characteristics of such entities.

Investors should be cautioned that none of PV-10 and standardized measure

represent an estimate of the fair market value of our proved reserves.

The following table presents a reconciliation of our PV-0 and PV-10 to the GAAP financial measure of Standardized Measure.

We had leasehold interests in an aggregate 1,029 thousand net acres as of December 31, 2021, on 898 thousand of which we were designated as operator.


                                     ******

As of December 31, 2021, we owned mineral and royalty interests in 174 thousand
gross acres and an overriding royalty interest in 117 thousand gross acres, both
operated by large, well-capitalized oil and natural gas companies located
primarily in the Eagle Ford, Marcellus, Utica and the Rockies. These interests
entitle us to receive an average 5.4% royalty and 0.7% overriding royalty
interest on all production from such acreage with no additional future capital
or operating costs required.

(1) Our reserves and present values were determined using average

first-day-of-the-month prices for the prior 12 months in accordance with SEC

guidance. For oil and NGL volumes, the average WTI posted price of $66.56 per

barrel as of December 31, 2021, was adjusted for items such as gravity,

quality, local conditions, gathering, transportation fees and distance from

market. For natural gas volumes, the average Henry Hub spot price of $3.60

per MMBtu as of December 31, 2021, was similarly adjusted for items such as

quality, local conditions, gathering, transportation fees and distance from

market. All prices are held constant throughout the lives of the properties.

The average adjusted product prices weighted by production over the remaining

lives of the properties are $64.84 per barrel of oil, $3.46 per Mcf of

natural gas and $27.21 per barrel of NGLs.

(2) PV-0 and PV-10 are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP

because they do not include the effects of income taxes on future net

revenues. Our standardized measure includes future obligations under the

Texas gross margin tax, but it does not include future federal income tax

expenses because, due to the status of CE Finance (as defined below) as a

flow through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is not subject

to federal income taxes, and accordingly the Standardized Measure of

estimated future cash flows attributable to CE Finance does not differ

materially from the associated PV-10. None of PV-0, PV-10 or standardized

measure represents an estimate of the fair market value of our oil and

natural gas properties. We believe that the presentation of PV-0 and PV-10 is

relevant and useful to our investors because it presents the discounted

future net cash flows attributable to our reserves prior to taking into

account future income taxes and our current tax structure. We and others in

the industry use PV-0 and PV-10 as measures to compare the relative size and

value of proved reserves held by companies without regard to the specific tax


    characteristics of such entities.


                                     ******

As of December 31, 2021, our aggregate PUD reserves were composed of 52,069 MBbls of oil, 65,383 MMcf of natural gas and 10,091 MBbls of NGLs, for a total of 73,057 MBoe. PUDs will be converted from undeveloped to developed as the applicable wells have been drilled or completed and have minimal capital remaining to bring the well onto production.

The following table summarizes our changes in PUDs for the year ended December 31, 2021 (in MBoe):
