Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Organization and Nature of Operations

Denbury Inc., a Delaware corporation, is an independent energy company with operations focused in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. The Company is differentiated by its focus on CO2 enhanced oil recovery (“EOR”) and the emerging carbon capture, use, and storage (“CCUS”) industry, supported by the Company’s CO2 EOR technical and operational expertise and its extensive CO2 pipeline infrastructure.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Denbury Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”).  Unless indicated otherwise or the context requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company” or “Denbury,” refer to Denbury Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end, and the results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.  In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2022, our consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, our consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and our consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on our reported net income (loss), current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total liabilities or stockholders’ equity.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as reported within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to “Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period” as reported within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
In thousandsJune 30, 2022December 31, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents$517 $3,671 
Restricted cash for future asset retirement obligations46,869 46,673 
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows$47,386 $50,344 

Restricted cash for future asset retirement obligations in the table above consists of escrow accounts that are legally restricted for certain of our asset retirement obligations.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Basic weighted average common shares exclude shares of nonvested restricted stock (although nonvested restricted stock is issued and outstanding upon grant). As these restricted shares vest, they will be included in the shares outstanding used to calculate basic net income (loss) per common share.  Restricted stock units and performance stock units are also excluded from basic weighted

Denbury Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
average common shares outstanding until the vesting date. Basic weighted average common shares during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 includes 1,404,649 performance-based and restricted stock units which are fully vested as of June 30, 2022; however, the shares underlying these stock units are not included in shares currently issued or outstanding as actual delivery of the shares is not scheduled to occur until December 4, 2023.

Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated in the same manner but includes the impact of all potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities include restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units, and series A and series B warrants.

For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, there were no adjustments to net income (loss) for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share.

The following table reconciles the weighted average shares used in the basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share calculations for the periods indicated:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the weighted average common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share were the same, since the Company recorded net losses each period. Assuming the Company had recorded net income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the weighted average diluted shares outstanding would have been 54.3 million (including the impact of 0.8 million restricted stock units and 2.4 million shares with respect to warrants) and 52.7 million (including the impact of 0.6 million restricted stock units and 1.4 million shares with respect to warrants), respectively.

The following outstanding securities could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future, but were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share, as their effect would have been antidilutive, as of the respective dates:

At June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately 3.4 million warrants outstanding that can be exercised for shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $32.59 per share for the 1.8 million series A warrants outstanding and at an exercise price of $35.41 per share for the 1.6 million series B warrants outstanding. The warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. The series A warrants are exercisable until September 18, 2025, and the series B warrants are exercisable until September 18, 2023, at which times the warrants expire. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, 1,796,237 and 1,822,013 warrants were exercised for a total of 987,411 shares and 1,001,564 shares, respectively, most of which were exercised on a cashless basis.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties

Write-Down of Oil and Natural Gas Properties. Under full cost accounting, the net capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties are limited to the lower of unamortized cost or the cost center ceiling. The cost center ceiling is defined as (1)

8

Denbury Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves before future abandonment costs (discounted at 10%), based on the average first-day-of-the-month oil and natural gas price for each month during a 12-month rolling period prior to the end of a particular reporting period; plus (2) the cost of properties not being amortized; plus (3) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, if any; less (4) related income tax effects. Our future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves are not reduced for development costs related to the cost of drilling for and developing CO2 reserves nor those related to the cost of constructing CO2 pipelines, as we do not have to incur additional CO2 capital costs to develop the proved oil and natural gas reserves. Therefore, we include in the ceiling test, as a reduction of future net revenues, that portion of our capitalized CO2 costs related to CO2 reserves and CO2 pipelines that we estimate will be consumed in the process of producing our proved oil and natural gas reserves. The fair value of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts is not included in the ceiling test, as we do not designate these contracts as hedge instruments for accounting purposes. The cost center ceiling test is prepared quarterly.

We recognized a full cost pool ceiling test write-down of $14.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The write-down was primarily a result of the March 2021 acquisition of Wyoming CO2 EOR properties (see Note 2, Acquisition and Divestiture) which was recorded based on a valuation that utilized NYMEX strip oil prices at the acquisition date, which were significantly higher than the average first-day-of-the-month NYMEX oil prices used to value the cost ceiling. We did not record a ceiling test write-down during the three or six months ended June 30, 2022.

CCUS Storage Sites and Related Assets

Capitalized Costs. We capitalize various costs that we incur to acquire and develop storage sites for the injection of CO2. These costs generally include, or are expected to include, expenditures for acquiring surface and subsurface rights; third-party acquisition costs; permitting; drilling; facilities; environmental monitoring equipment for groundwater and storage site gas; engineering; capitalized interest; on-site road construction and other capital infrastructure costs. If a storage site is no longer deemed probable of being developed, all previously capitalized costs are expensed.

Amortization. Our CCUS storage sites are not yet operational. Accordingly, we currently have no amortization of capitalized costs. Amortization of these costs will begin when CO2 storage operations commence.

Note 2. Acquisition and Divestiture

2021 Acquisition of Wyoming CO2 EOR Properties

On March 3, 2021, we acquired a nearly 100% working interest (approximately 83% net revenue interest) in the Big Sand Draw and Beaver Creek EOR fields located in Wyoming from a subsidiary of Devon Energy Corporation, including surface facilities and a 46-mile CO2 transportation pipeline to the acquired fields. The acquisition purchase price was $10.9 million (after final closing adjustments) plus two contingent $4 million cash payments if NYMEX WTI oil prices average at least $50 per Bbl during each of 2021 and 2022. We made the first contingent payment in January 2022 and if the price condition is met, the second $4 million payment will be due in January 2023. The fair value of the contingent consideration recorded on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $3.8 million as of June 30, 2022.

The fair values allocated to our assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisition, based on significant inputs not observable in the market and considered level 3 inputs, were finalized during the third quarter of 2021, after consideration of

2021 Divestiture of Hartzog Draw Deep Mineral Rights

On June 30, 2021, we closed the sale of undeveloped, unconventional deep mineral rights in Hartzog Draw Field in Wyoming. The cash proceeds of $18 million were recorded to “Proved properties” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The proceeds reduced our full cost pool; therefore, no gain or loss was recorded on the transaction, and the sale had no impact on our production or reserves.

Note 3. Revenue Recognition

We record revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification (“FASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of FASC Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount of consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. Once we have delivered the volume of commodity to the delivery point and the customer takes delivery and possession, we are entitled to payment and we invoice the customer for such delivered production. Payment under most oil and CO2 contracts is received within one month following product delivery, and for natural gas and NGL contracts, payment is generally received within two months following delivery. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers; however, as the right to consideration after delivery is unconditional based on only the passage of time before payment of the consideration is due, upon delivery we record a receivable in “Accrued production receivable” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In certain situations, the Company enters into marketing arrangements for the purchase and subsequent sale of crude oil from third parties. We recognize the revenues received and the associated expenses incurred on these sales on a gross basis, as “Oil marketing revenues” and “Oil marketing purchases” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, since we act as a principal in the transaction by assuming control of the commodities purchased and responsibility to deliver the commodities sold. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the purchaser at the delivery point based on the price received from the purchaser.

In thousandsJune 30, 2022December 31, 2021
Senior Secured Bank Credit Agreement$— $35,000 
Long-term debt $— $35,000 

Senior Secured Bank Credit Agreement

On September 18, 2020, we entered into a $575 million credit agreement for a senior secured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders party thereto (the “Bank Credit Agreement”). Availability under the Bank Credit Agreement is subject to a borrowing base, which is redetermined semiannually on or around May 1 and November 1 of each year, with our next scheduled redetermination around November 1, 2022. The borrowing base is adjusted at the lenders’ discretion and is based, in part, upon external factors over which we have no control. If our outstanding debt under the Bank Credit Agreement exceeds the then-effective borrowing base, we would be required to repay the excess amount over a period not to exceed six months. The undrawn portion of the aggregate lender commitments under the Bank Credit Agreement is subject to a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum.

On May 4, 2022, we entered into a Second Amendment to the Bank Credit Agreement, which among other things:

•Increased the borrowing base and lender commitments from $575 million to $750 million;
•Extended the maturity date from January 30, 2024 to May 4, 2027;
•Modified the interest provisions on loans under the Bank Credit Agreement to (1) reduce the applicable margin for alternate base rate loans from 2% to 3% per annum to 1.5% to 2.5% per annum and (2) replace provisions referencing LIBOR loans with Secured Overnight Financing Rate loans, with an applicable margin of 2.5% to 3.5% per annum; and
•Permitted us to pay dividends on our common stock and make other unlimited restricted payments and investments so long as (1) no event of default or borrowing base deficiency exists; (2) our total leverage ratio is 1.5 to 1 or lower; and (3) availability under the Bank Credit Agreement is at least 20% of the borrowing base.

The Bank Credit Agreement also limits our ability to, among other things, incur and repay other indebtedness; grant liens; engage in certain mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions; engage in sales of assets; make acquisitions and investments; make other restricted payments (including redeeming, repurchasing or retiring our common stock); and enter into commodity derivative agreements, in each case subject to certain customary exceptions to such limitations, as specified in the Bank Credit Agreement. Our Bank Credit Agreement required certain minimum commodity hedge levels in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy; however, these conditions were met as of December 31, 2020, and we currently have no ongoing hedging requirements under the Bank Credit Agreement.

The Bank Credit Agreement is secured by (1) our proved oil and natural gas properties, which are held through our restricted subsidiaries; (2) the pledge of equity interests of such subsidiaries; (3) a pledge of our commodity derivative

11

Denbury Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
agreements; (4) a pledge of deposit accounts, securities accounts and our commodity accounts; and (5) a security interest in substantially all other collateral that may be perfected by a Uniform Commercial Code filing, subject to certain exceptions.

The Bank Credit Agreement contains certain financial performance covenants including the following:

•A Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDAX covenant (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement), with such ratio not to exceed 3.5 times; and
•A requirement to maintain a current ratio (i.e., Consolidated Current Assets to Consolidated Current Liabilities) of 1.0.

For purposes of computing the current ratio per the Bank Credit Agreement, Consolidated Current Assets exclude the current portion of derivative assets but include available borrowing capacity under the Bank Credit Agreement, and Consolidated Current Liabilities exclude the current portion of derivative liabilities as well as the current portions of long-term indebtedness outstanding. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all debt covenants under the Bank Credit Agreement.

The above description of our Bank Credit Agreement is qualified by the express language and defined terms contained in the Bank Credit Agreement and amendments thereto.

Note 5. Stockholders' Equity

Share Repurchase Program

In early May 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a common share repurchase program for up to $250 million of outstanding Denbury common stock. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased 457,549 shares of Denbury common stock for $28.8 million, or $62.84 per share. Cumulatively through July 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 1,615,356 shares of Denbury common stock for approximately $100 million, or an average price of $61.92 per share. On August 2, 2022, the Board of Directors increased the dollar amount of Denbury common stock that can be purchased under the program to an aggregate of $350 million, and at that date, we were authorized to repurchase up to an additional $250.0 million of common stock. The program has no pre-established ending date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any dollar amount or specific number of shares of its common stock under the program.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

At the annual meeting of stockholders on June 1, 2022, the Company’s stockholders voted to approve the Denbury Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) authorizing the sale of up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock thereunder. In accordance with the ESPP, eligible employees may contribute up to 10% of eligible compensation, subject to certain limitations, to purchase previously unissued Denbury common stock. Participants in the ESPP may purchase common stock at a 15% discount to the fair market value of a share of common stock determined as the lower of the closing sales price on the first or last trading day of each offering period. We currently anticipate the first offering period under the ESPP will commence on September 1, 2022 and end on December 31, 2022. The plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors.

Note 6. Income Taxes

We make estimates and judgments in determining our income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities that arise from differences in the timing and recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial reporting purposes. Significant judgment is required in estimating valuation allowances, and in making this determination we consider all available positive and negative evidence and make certain assumptions. The realization of a deferred tax asset ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income in the applicable carryback or carryforward periods. In our assessment, we consider the nature, frequency, and severity of current and cumulative losses, as well as historical and forecasted financial results, the overall business environment, our industry’s historic cyclicality, the reversal of existing deferred tax assets and liabilities, and tax planning strategies.

We assess the valuation allowance recorded on our deferred tax assets, which was $125.5 million at December 31, 2021, on a quarterly basis. This valuation allowance on our federal and certain state deferred tax assets was recorded in September 2020

12

Denbury Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
after the application of fresh start accounting, as (1) the tax basis of our assets, primarily our oil and gas properties, was in excess of the carrying value, as adjusted for fresh start accounting and (2) our historical pre-tax income reflected a three-year cumulative loss primarily due to ceiling test write-downs and reorganization items that were recorded in 2020. While we continued to be in a cumulative three-year-loss position through the first quarter of 2022, we initially determined as of March 31, 2022, that there was sufficient positive evidence, primarily related to a substantial increase in worldwide oil prices, to conclude that $64.9 million of our federal and certain state deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. Accordingly, we reversed $5.9 million of this valuation allowance during the three months ended March 31, 2022, $18.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, and currently expect to reverse the remaining $40.2 million during the second half of 2022, resulting in a reduction to our annualized effective tax rate. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance of $60.6 million for certain state tax benefits that we currently do not expect to realize before their expiration.

We evaluate our estimated annual effective income tax rate based on current and forecasted business results and enacted tax laws on a quarterly basis and apply this tax rate to our ordinary income or loss to calculate our estimated tax liability or benefit. Our income taxes are based on an estimated combined federal and state statutory rate of approximately 25% in 2022 and 2021. Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was significantly lower than our estimated statutory rate primarily due to the release of the valuation allowance that was recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Note 7. Commodity Derivative Contracts

We do not apply hedge accounting treatment to our oil and natural gas derivative contracts; therefore, the changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized in income in the period of change.  These fair value changes, along with the settlements of expired contracts, are shown under “Commodity derivatives expense” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Historically, we have entered into various oil and natural gas derivative contracts to provide an economic hedge of our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil and natural gas production and to provide more certainty to our future cash flows. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Generally, these contracts have consisted of various combinations of price floors, collars, three-way collars, fixed-price swaps, fixed-price swaps enhanced with a sold put, and basis swaps. The production that we hedge has varied from year to year depending on our levels of debt, financial strength and expectation of future commodity prices.

We manage and control market and counterparty credit risk through established internal control procedures that are reviewed on an ongoing basis.  We attempt to minimize credit risk exposure to counterparties through formal credit policies, monitoring procedures and diversification, and all of our commodity derivative contracts are with parties that are lenders under our Bank Credit Agreement (or affiliates of such lenders). As of June 30, 2022, all of our outstanding derivative contracts were subject to enforceable master netting arrangements whereby payables on those contracts can be offset against receivables from separate derivative contracts with the same counterparty. It is our policy to classify derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis on our balance sheets, even if the contracts are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

The FASC Fair Value Measurement topic defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (often referred to as the “exit price”). We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. We primarily apply the income approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavor to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We are able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The FASC establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

•Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded oil derivatives that are based on NYMEX and regional pricing other than NYMEX (e.g., Light Louisiana Sweet). Our costless collars are valued using the Black-Scholes model, an industry standard option valuation model that takes into account inputs such as contractual prices for the underlying instruments, maturity, quoted forward prices for commodities, interest rates, volatility factors and credit worthiness, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

•Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

We adjust the valuations from the valuation model for nonperformance risk, using our estimate of the counterparty’s credit quality for asset positions and our credit quality for liability positions. We use multiple sources of third-party credit data in determining counterparty nonperformance risk, including credit default swaps.

Since we do not apply hedge accounting for our commodity derivative contracts, any gains and losses on our assets and liabilities are included in “Commodity derivatives expense” in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of our loans under our Bank Credit Agreement approximate fair value, as they are subject to short-term floating interest rates that approximate the rates available to us for those periods. We had no debt outstanding as of June 30, 2022, and the estimated fair value of the principal amount of our debt was $35.0 million as of December 31, 2021. We have other financial instruments consisting primarily of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Treasury notes, short-term receivables and payables that approximate fair value due to the nature of the instrument and the relatively short maturities.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Regulatory Proceedings

We are involved in various lawsuits, claims and regulatory proceedings incidental to our businesses.  We are also subject to audits for various taxes (income, sales and use, and severance) in the various states in which we operate, and from time to time receive assessments for potential taxes that we may owe. While we currently believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, litigation and regulatory proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties.  We accrue for losses from litigation and claims if we determine that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

On May 26, 2022, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (“PHMSA”) of the U.S. Department of Transportation issued a Notice of Probable Violation, Proposed Civil Penalty, and Proposed Compliance Order (“NOPV”) relating to the February 2020 pipeline failure near Satartia, Mississippi in our CO2 pipeline running between the Tinsley and Delhi fields. The NOPV proposes a preliminarily assessed civil penalty of $3.9 million in connection with the incident, which

OVERVIEW

Denbury is an independent energy company with operations focused in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions. The Company is differentiated by its focus on CO2 enhanced oil recovery (“EOR”) and the emerging carbon capture, use, and storage (“CCUS”) industry, supported by the Company’s CO2 EOR technical and operational expertise and its extensive CO2 pipeline infrastructure. The utilization of captured industrial-sourced CO2 in EOR significantly reduces the carbon footprint of the oil that Denbury produces, making the Company’s Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions negative today, with a goal to be net-zero on its Scope 1, 2, and 3 CO2 emissions by 2030, primarily through increasing the amount of captured industrial-sourced CO2 used in its operations.

Carbon Capture, Use and Storage. CCUS is a process that captures CO2 from industrial sources and reuses it or stores the CO2 in geologic formations in order to prevent its release into the atmosphere. We utilize CO2 from industrial sources in our EOR operations, and our extensive CO2 pipeline infrastructure and operations, particularly in the Gulf Coast, are strategically located in close proximity to large sources of industrial emissions. We believe that the assets and technical expertise required for CCUS are highly aligned with our existing CO2 EOR operations, providing us with a significant advantage and opportunity to lead in the emerging CCUS industry, as the building of a permanent carbon sequestration business requires both time and capital to build assets such as those we own and have been operating for years. During the first half of 2022, approximately 39% of the CO2 utilized in our oil and gas operations was industrial-sourced CO2, equivalent to an annualized average usage rate of over 4 million metric tons in 2022. This compares to 34% utilized during the first half of 2021, with the increase related to commencing CO2 injection in the first phase of our Cedar Creek Anticline (“CCA”) EOR project. We anticipate this percentage will increase in the future as supportive U.S. government policy and public pressure on industrial CO2 emitters will provide strong incentives for these entities to capture their CO2 emissions.

As we seek to grow our CCUS business and pursue new CCUS opportunities, we have been engaged in discussions with existing and potential third-party industrial CO2 emitters regarding CO2 offtake, transportation and storage solutions. In the nearer term, while the energy transition is still evolving nationally, we believe that a key driver in speeding that transition is identifying and securing the long-term supply of industrial CO2, while also identifying potential future sequestration sites and landowners of those locations. We continue to make material progress in both of these areas, and thus far have signed agreements securing the rights to five future sequestration sites which we believe have the potential to store up to 1.5 billion metric tons of CO2. In addition, we have executed several term sheets for the future transportation and sequestration of CO2. During the first half of 2022, we capitalized $24.0 million in “CCUS storage sites and related assets” in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, primarily consisting of acquisition costs associated with sequestration sites. While our use of CO2 in EOR is the only CCUS operation reflected in our historical financial and operational results (as a cost), we believe the incentives offered under Section 45Q of the Internal Revenue Code and the proposed Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 or otherwise will drive demand for CCUS and allow us to collect a fee for the transportation and storage of captured industrial-sourced CO2, including CO2 utilized in our EOR operations. It will likely take several years to construct new capture facilities and for dedicated storage sites to be developed. We believe our existing CO2 pipeline infrastructure, EOR operations, and experience and expertise in working with CO2 all position us to be a leader in this rapidly developing industry.

Oil Price Impact on Our Business.  Our financial results are significantly impacted by changes in oil prices, as 97% of our sales volumes are oil. Changes in oil prices impact all aspects of our business; most notably our cash flows from operations, revenues, capital allocation and budgeting decisions, and oil and natural gas reserves volumes. The table below

outlines selected financial items and sales volumes, along with changes in our realized oil prices, before and after commodity derivative impacts, for our most recent comparative quarterly periods:

Oil price per Bbl - including impact of derivative settlements77.63 70.4353.21 51.35 50.10 

Average NYMEX WTI oil prices increased from the mid-$70s per Bbl range in the fourth quarter of 2021 to approximately $95 per Bbl during the first quarter of 2022, then increasing to approximately $109 per Bbl during the second quarter of 2022. This increase in oil prices was due in part to worldwide oil supply disruptions associated with the Russian invasion of Ukraine during the first half of 2022.

As shown in the table above, our oil and natural gas revenues increased significantly during the last four quarters as oil prices increased. However, the benefit of the increase in revenues over this time period was offset in part by the impact of higher cash payments on our commodity derivative contracts. These contracts were largely required to be entered into during the fourth quarter of 2020 under the one-time requirement of our September 18, 2020 bank credit facility. During the second quarter of 2022, we paid $128.0 million related to the expiration of commodity derivative contracts and expect to make additional payments on the settlement of our contracts expiring during the remainder of 2022. In the second half of 2022, less of our production is hedged, and our hedges are at more favorable prices and with a greater mix of collars, providing the potential for us to realize a greater portion of increased oil prices.

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results and Highlights. We recognized net income of $155.5 million, or $2.83 per diluted common share, during the second quarter of 2022, compared to a net loss of $77.7 million, or $1.52 per diluted common share, during the second quarter of 2021. The primary drivers of the comparative second quarter operating results include the following:

•Oil and natural gas revenues increased $169.3 million (60%) due primarily to an increase in oil prices;
•Commodity derivatives expense decreased by $115.8 million consisting of a $180.4 million increase in noncash fair value changes ($71.1 million gain during the second quarter of 2022 compared to a $109.3 million loss in the prior-year period), partially offset by a $64.6 million increase in cash payments upon derivative contract settlements;
•Lease operating expenses increased $14.1 million (13%), primarily consisting of increases of $6.5 million in power and fuel costs, $4.6 million in workovers, $2.8 million in labor costs, and $2.4 million in CO2 expense, partially offset by a $6.7 million insurance recovery of costs incurred in 2013 from property damage at Delhi Field;
•Taxes other than income increased $13.9 million (62%) primarily due to an increase in production taxes resulting from higher oil and gas revenues; and

18

Denbury Inc.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
•Income taxes increased to an expense of $24.8 million during the second quarter of 2022 compared to a benefit of $0.3 million during the prior-year period.

Commencement of Cedar Creek Anticline CO2 Injection. In early February 2022, we commenced CO2 injection in the first phase of our CCA EOR project and have subsequently continued to increase CO2 injections into the field. In order to stay ahead of potential supply chain delays, we plan to increase capital investment in the second half of the year at CCA to accelerate our procurement of compression equipment and construction of CO2 recycle facilities to ensure facilities are in place to handle anticipated production from the field. We continue to expect tertiary oil production response from CCA in the second half of 2023.

Common Share Repurchase Program. In early May 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a common share repurchase program for up to $250 million of outstanding Denbury common stock. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased 457,549 shares of Denbury common stock for $28.8 million, or $62.84 per share. Cumulatively through July 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 1,615,356 shares of Denbury common stock (approximately 3.2% of our outstanding shares of common stock at March 31, 2022) for approximately $100.0 million, or an average price of $61.92 per share. On August 2, 2022, the Board of Directors increased the dollar amount of Denbury common stock that can be purchased under the program to an aggregate of $350 million, and at that date, we were authorized to repurchase up to an additional $250.0 million of common stock. The program has no pre-established ending date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any dollar amount or specific number of shares of its common stock under the program.

Increase in 2022 Capital Expenditure Plans. Based on inflationary cost increases and the desire to accelerate capital spending to offset potential supply chain delays, we are increasing our 2022 capital expenditures estimate for oil and gas development activities from the previously anticipated upper end of $320 million to approximately $360 million. Approximately half of the increase relates to overall service cost inflation impacting the Company’s operations, primarily related to labor and steel costs, and the rest of the increase is associated with CCA EOR development activities, where the Company is accelerating the purchase of compression equipment and construction of CO2 recycle facilities to ensure the field is ready to process the expected oil production response. In addition, our original budget for CCUS capital is still estimated at $50 million, but could increase depending on activity in the second half of the year. See further discussion under Capital Resources and Liquidity – 2022 Plans and Capital Budget.

May 2022 Amendment to Senior Secured Bank Credit Agreement. In early May 2022, we amended our bank credit facility to among other things, (1) increase the borrowing base and lender commitments to $750 million, (2) extend the maturity date to May 4, 2027, (3) modify certain interest rate provisions, and (4) provide additional flexibility regarding our ability to make restricted payments and investments. See further discussion of this amendment under Capital Resources and Liquidity – Senior Secured Bank Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings on our senior secured bank credit facility.

Warrant Exercises. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, 1,796,237 and 1,822,013 warrants were exercised for a total of 987,411 shares and 1,001,564 shares, respectively, most of which were exercised on a cashless basis. At June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately 3.4 million warrants outstanding that can be exercised for shares of our common stock, which represents approximately 60.9% of the aggregate series A and B warrants issued in September 2020, at an exercise price of $32.59 per share for the 1.8 million series A warrants outstanding and at an exercise price of $35.41 per share for the 1.6 million series B warrants outstanding. The warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. The series A warrants are exercisable until September 18, 2025, and the series B warrants are exercisable until September 18, 2023, at which times the warrants expire.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Overview. Our cash flows from operations and availability under our senior secured bank credit facility are our primary sources of capital and liquidity. Our most significant cash capital outlays relate to our oil and gas development capital expenditures and CCUS initiatives.

As of June 30, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings and $12.0 million of outstanding letters of credit under our $750 million senior secured bank credit facility, leaving us with $738.0 million of borrowing base availability and approximately $738.5 million of total liquidity including our cash position at June 30, 2022. This liquidity is more than adequate to meet our

19

Denbury Inc.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
currently planned operating and capital needs as we currently project our cash flow from operations to significantly exceed our planned capital expenditures in 2022. In early May 2022, we amended our bank credit facility to among other things, increase the borrowing base availability and lender commitments to $750 million (see further discussion of this amendment under Senior Secured Bank Credit Agreement below).

Six Months Ended 2022 Sources and Uses. During the first half of 2022, we generated cash flows from operations of $240.1 million, while incurring capital costs of $169.9 million, consisting primarily of oil and gas development capital expenditures of $143.9 million, CCUS related capital expenditures of $23.9 million, and capitalized interest of $2.1 million. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company also repurchased 457,549 shares of Denbury common stock for $28.8 million, or $62.84 per share.

As further discussed below, based on oil price futures as of early August 2022, we currently anticipate funding all of our 2022 capital budget from projected operating cash flow while also generating excess cash flow. As the level of excess cash we expect to generate in 2022 and future periods has increased with the rise in oil prices during 2022, our Board of Directors adopted a share repurchase program in early May 2022 authorizing the repurchase of up to $250 million of Denbury’s common stock. Cumulatively through July 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 1,615,356 shares of Denbury common stock (approximately 3.2% of our outstanding shares of common stock at March 31, 2022) for approximately $100 million, or an average price of $61.92 per share. On August 2, 2022, the Board of Directors increased the dollar amount of Denbury common stock that can be purchased under the program to an aggregate of $350 million, and at that date, we were authorized to repurchase up to an additional $250.0 million of common stock. The ultimate level of excess cash we may generate in 2022 and future periods will be highly dependent on oil prices and many other factors, but we currently believe our level of cash flow generation will be adequate to fund our EOR and CCUS strategic priorities while also returning capital to our shareholders through our share repurchase program.

2022 Plans and Capital Budget. Based on inflationary cost increases and the desire to accelerate capital spending to offset potential supply chain delays, we are increasing our 2022 capital expenditures estimate for oil and gas development activities from the previously anticipated upper end of our range of $320 million to approximately $360 million. Approximately half of the increase relates to overall service cost inflation impacting the Company’s operations, primarily related to labor and steel costs, and the rest of the increase is associated with CCA EOR development activities, where the Company is accelerating the purchase of compression equipment and construction of CO2 recycle facilities to ensure the field is ready to process the expected oil production response. In addition, anticipated spending for our CCUS business of approximately $50 million remains unchanged but could increase depending on activity levels in the second half of the year, with expenditures primarily focused on securing CO2 sequestration sites and drilling one or more stratigraphic test wells in those sequestration sites.

Supply Chain Issues and Potential Cost Inflation. Recent worldwide and U.S. supply chain issues, together with rising commodity prices and tight labor markets in the U.S., have increased our costs during late 2021 and thus far in 2022. Based on cost increases and shortages experienced across the industry and higher fuel and power costs thus far in 2022, we anticipate additional increases in the cost of, and demand for, goods and services and wages in our operations during the remainder of 2022 which could negatively impact our results of operations and cash flows in future periods.

Senior Secured Bank Credit Agreement. In September 2020, we entered into a $575 million bank credit agreement for a senior secured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders party thereto (the “Bank Credit Agreement”). Availability under the Bank Credit Agreement is subject to a borrowing base, which is redetermined semiannually on or around May 1 or November 1 of each year, with our next scheduled redetermination around November 1, 2022. The borrowing base is adjusted at the lenders’ discretion and is based, in part, upon external factors over which we have no control. If our outstanding debt under the Bank Credit Agreement exceeds the then-effective borrowing base, we would be required to repay the excess amount over a period not to exceed six months.

On May 4, 2022, we entered into a Second Amendment to the Bank Credit Agreement, which among other things:

•Increased the borrowing base and lender commitments from $575 million to $750 million;
•Extended the maturity date from January 30, 2024 to May 4, 2027;
•Modified the interest provisions on loans under the Bank Credit Agreement to (1) reduce the applicable margin for alternate base rate loans from 2% to 3% per annum to 1.5% to 2.5% per annum and (2) replace provisions referencing LIBOR loans with Secured Overnight Financing Rate loans, with an applicable margin of 2.5% to 3.5% per annum; and
•Permitted us to pay dividends on our common stock and make other unlimited restricted payments and investments so long as (1) no event of default or borrowing base deficiency exists; (2) our total leverage ratio is 1.5 to 1 or lower; and (3) availability under the Bank Credit Agreement is at least 20% of the borrowing base.
