Third Quarter 2022 Highlights:

Magnolia reported third quarter 2022 net income attributable to Class A Common Stock of $245.5 million, or $1.29 per diluted share. Third quarter 2022 total net income increased 79% to $287.0 million and diluted weighted average total shares outstanding decreased by 8% to 217.8 million⁽²⁾compared to third quarter 2021.
Adjusted EBITDAX⁽¹⁾ was $386.0 million during the third quarter of 2022, driven by higher production and higher product prices as compared to prior year results. Total drilling and completions ("D&C") capital during the third quarter was $114.5 million, representing just 30% of adjusted EBITDAX⁽¹⁾.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $410.7 million during the third quarter of 2022 and the Company generated free cash flow⁽¹⁾ of $233.9 million. Magnolia generated operating income as a percentage of revenue of 65%.
Total production in the third quarter of 2022 set a quarterly record for the Company, growing 21% compared to the prior-year quarter and 10% sequentially to 81.5 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day ("Mboe/d"). Total volumes were 7% ahead of the high end of our production guidance range.
During the third quarter, Magnolia repurchased a total of 3.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock, for $62.4 million, bringing the total Class A and Class B shares repurchased during 2022 to 13.1 million shares. At the end of the third quarter 2022, Magnolia had 9.3 million Class A Common shares remaining under its current repurchase authorization.
As previously announced, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share of Class A common stock, and a cash distribution of $0.10 per Class B unit, payable on December 1, 2022 to shareholders of record as of November 7, 2022. We expect our dividend to grow at least 10 percent annually and plan to revisit the dividend rate in early 2023.
Magnolia returned 36% of the free cash flow generated during the third quarter through a combination of share repurchases and dividends while ending the period with $689.5 million of cash on the balance sheet. The Company remains undrawn on its $450.0 million revolving credit facility, has no debt maturities until 2026 and has no plan to increase its debt levels.

⁽¹⁾	^{Adjusted EBITDAX and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. For reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures, please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" at the end of this press release.}
⁽²⁾	^{Weighted average total shares outstanding include diluted weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period and shares of Class B Common Stock, which are anti-dilutive in the calculation of weighted average number of common shares outstanding.}

"The most recent quarter was filled with mixed emotions. We are humbled by our continued strong financial and operating results and performance, yet deeply saddened by the recent passing of Steve Chazen, Magnolia's founder and former CEO. I am incredibly grateful for Steve's guidance and counsel, his steadfast leadership and importantly his friendship. We expect his legacy to continue to live on through Magnolia for years to come," said President and CEO Chris Stavros. "The principles of the business model that Steve established during Magnolia's founding over four years ago are expected to remain unchanged. We will continue our discipline around capital spending, while maintaining low levels of debt. We expect our record of achieving moderate annual production growth, while generating significant free cash flow and strong pre-tax margins to continue.

"Magnolia delivered very strong financial and operating results in the third quarter of 2022 driven by record quarterly production and pretax operating margins of 65 percent, and despite a sequential quarterly decline in oil prices of more than $15 per barrel. Third quarter 2022 production increased 21 percent year-over-year and 10 percent sequentially, and well-above the high end of our earlier guidance. The stronger production was seen in both our Giddings and Karnes asset areas and was primarily the result of better than expected well performance. The results were achieved while spending just 30 percent of our adjusted EBITDAX during the quarter. We repurchased 3 million shares during the third quarter, reducing our diluted share count by 8 percent from the same period last year. Including share repurchases and dividends, Magnolia returned more than a third of the free cash flow generated during the quarter to our shareholders while ending the period with nearly $700 million of cash.

"I am pleased to announce that Brian Corales, Magnolia's VP, Investor Relations, has been promoted to the position of Chief Financial Officer. Brian has done an excellent job at Magnolia since 2018 in helping to both manage and communicate the Company's strategy as well as shaping our message to the broad Financial Community and other stakeholders. Magnolia's strong focus on its shareholders and emphasis on generating improved stock market value over time make Brian uniquely qualified to serve as CFO. The selection and elevation of a qualified internal candidate to the CFO role is indicative of Magnolia's strong "bench" of talent within our team."

Operational Update

Third quarter 2022 total company production averaged 81.5 Mboe/d, representing a 10 percent sequential increase and was 21 percent higher than the prior year's third quarter. Compared to the same period last year, Giddings and Other production increased 30 percent. Overall production exceeded our expectations during the quarter despite spending just 30 percent of adjusted EBITDAX on drilling and completing wells. Production was above the high end of our guidance due to stronger well performance in both of our operated areas, ongoing operating efficiencies, and slightly higher non-op activity.

Magnolia continues to operate two drilling rigs and expects to maintain this level of activity through next year. One rig will continue to drill multi-well development pads in our Giddings area. The second rig will drill a mix of wells in both the Karnes and Giddings areas, including some appraisal wells in Giddings. Magnolia continues to drive operating efficiencies, especially in the Giddings area. When comparing the 2022 total cost per stimulated foot for its development wells to the wells drilled in 2019, well costs per stimulated foot during this year have declined by 26 percent, despite the inflationary environment seen in oil field service costs. This improvement is directly attributable to the efficiencies that our operations and supply chain teams have captured at Giddings which include faster drilling and completion times, longer laterals, multi-well pads and improved asset knowledge.

Additional Guidance

We are planning a very active operating program for the fourth quarter which should provide us with a strong start to 2023. We estimate that our fourth quarter production should be in the range of 77 to 79 Mboe/d, as most of the wells in our program are expected to come online toward the latter part of the quarter. This includes the largest single pad we have drilled to date at our Giddings area. D&C capital during the fourth quarter is expected to be approximately $125 to $140 million due to a higher number of well completions and higher anticipated non-op activity in the period. As a result, we expect our total production to exit the year at a level that exceeds the record production achieved during the third quarter and further benefit production volumes during the first half of 2023. Oil price differentials are anticipated to be approximately a $3 per barrel discount to Magellan East Houston and Magnolia remains completely unhedged for all its oil and natural gas production. The fully diluted total share count for the fourth quarter of 2022 is expected to be approximately 216 million shares which is 6 percent lower than fourth quarter 2021 levels.

Our operating plan for 2023 is currently expected to be very similar to this year. We plan to operate two drilling rigs and one completion crew and anticipate that our capital spending for drilling and completing wells to be well-below our imposed ceiling of spending within 55 percent of our adjusted EBITDAX at current product prices. We estimate that next year's capital program and activity levels should deliver full-year 2023 production growth of approximately 10 percent compared to 2022 levels while generating a significant amount of free cash flow. We plan to re-evaluate our current annual dividend rate of $0.40 per share early next year based on our full-year 2022 financial and operating results. Our share repurchase program and the payment of a secure, sustainable and growing dividend remain important components of Magnolia's total shareholder return proposition.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDAX

In this press release, we refer to adjusted EBITDAX, a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We define adjusted EBITDAX as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, amortization of intangible assets, exploration costs, and accretion of asset retirement obligations, adjusted to exclude the effect of certain items included in net income. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income in accordance with GAAP.

Our management believes that adjusted EBITDAX is useful because it allows them to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period and against our peers without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We also believe that securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties may use adjusted EBITDAX in the evaluation of our Company. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. 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. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDAX should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computations of adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDAX, our most directly comparable financial measure, calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reconciliation of revenue to adjusted cash operating margin and to operating income margin

Our presentation of adjusted cash operating margin and total adjusted cash operating costs are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management. Total adjusted cash operating costs exclude the impact of non-cash activity. We define adjusted cash operating margin per boe as total revenues per boe less operating expenses per boe. Management believes that total adjusted cash operating costs per boe and adjusted cash operating margin per boe provide relevant and useful information, which is used by our management in assessing the Company's profitability and comparability of results to our peers.

As a performance measure, total adjusted cash operating costs and adjusted cash operating margin may be useful to investors in facilitating comparisons to others in the Company's industry because certain items can vary substantially in the oil and gas industry from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, and capital structure, among other factors. Management believes excluding these items facilitates investors and analysts in evaluating and comparing the underlying operating and financial performance of our business from period to period by eliminating differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense and income items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. Free cash flow is defined as cash flows from operations before net change in operating assets and liabilities less additions to oil and natural gas properties and changes in working capital associated with additions to oil and natural gas properties. Management believes free cash flow is useful for investors and widely accepted by those following the oil and gas industry as financial indicators of a company's ability to generate cash to internally fund drilling and completion activities, fund acquisitions, and service debt. It is also used by research analysts to value and compare oil and gas exploration and production companies and are frequently included in published research when providing investment recommendations. Free cash flow is used by management as an additional measure of liquidity. Free cash flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities.
