Chris Conoscenti, Chief Executive Officer of Sitio, commented, “In the third quarter, our assets delivered another steady performance that reflected operator trends in Permian and broader US drilling and completion activity. We continue to pursue multiple consolidation opportunities and are optimistic about improving competitive dynamics heading into 2024. During the third quarter, we completed the four previously announced cash acquisitions of high-quality Permian minerals and royalties totaling approximately $181 million and on November 3, 2023, we agreed to sell our lower-margin Appalachia and Anadarko assets for $117.5 million. Our inaugural senior unsecured notes offering that closed on October 3, 2023, allowed us to refinance our existing unsecured notes and achieve more than $11 million in expected annual interest expense savings. Our team continued to innovate by building new customized automation tools to improve the efficiency with which we manage such a large amount of new data each month. This streamlines processing and tracking royalty payments, monitoring ongoing operator activity on our acreage and positions Sitio to smoothly integrate additional data from future acquisitions. I’m proud of our team for executing well on such a broad range of strategic, financing and operational initiatives throughout the quarter.”

FINANCIAL UPDATE
Sitio’s third quarter 2023 average unhedged realized prices including all expected quality, transportation and demand adjustments were $80.21 per barrel of oil, $1.54 per Mcf of natural gas and $18.14 per barrel of natural gas liquids, for a total equivalent price of $45.00 per barrel of oil equivalent. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company received $5.1 million in net cash settlements for commodity derivative contracts and as a result, average hedged realized prices were $82.21 per barrel of oil, $1.84 per Mcf of natural gas and $18.14 per barrel of natural gas liquids, for a total equivalent price of $46.49 per barrel of oil equivalent. This represents a $2.04 per barrel of oil equivalent, or a 5% increase relative to hedged realized prices for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Consolidated net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $0.3 million, which is $3.2 million more than consolidated net income in the second quarter of 2023. This increase was driven primarily by increased commodity prices and offset by net commodity derivatives losses of $24.1 million, which was comprised of a $29.2 million non-cash unrealized loss and a $5.1 million realized gain. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA was $142.4 million, up 12% sequentially from second quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA, primarily due to increased production volumes and commodity prices.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $1,006.0 million principal value of total debt outstanding (comprised of $601.0 million drawn on Sitio’s revolving credit facility and $405.0 million of senior unsecured notes) and liquidity of $250.3 million, including $1.3 million of cash and $249.0 million of remaining availability under its $850.0 million credit facility. In September 2023, Sitio made its fourth consecutive quarterly amortization payment of $11.3 million at par value on its senior unsecured notes, reducing the principal from $416.3 million to $405.0 million as of the end of the third quarter 2023.
2H 2023 FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL GUIDANCE
Sitio is revising its guidance for Cash G&A for the full year 2023 to a range of $27.0 million to $28.0 million based on results to date and expectations for 4Q 2023, which includes incremental G&A for expected new employees. The midpoint of Sitio’s new Cash G&A guidance range for full year 2023 is $27.5 million, an approximate 6% increase from the midpoint of prior guidance. There are no other changes to prior 2H 2023 guidance, but for convenience all guidance metrics are shown in the table below.

SENIOR UNSECURED NOTES REFINANCING
On October 3, 2023, the Company issued and sold $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2028 Senior Notes. The net proceeds of the Notes Offering were used to (i) fund the redemption of all of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Senior Notes, which occurred concurrently with the consummation of the Notes Offering and (ii) repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. As of November 3, 2023, the Company had $981.0 million principal value of total debt outstanding (comprised of $381.0 million drawn on Sitio’s revolving credit facility and $600.0 million of senior unsecured notes due 2028) and liquidity of $470.9 million, including $1.9 million of cash and $469.0 million of remaining availability under its $850.0 million credit facility.
DIVESTITURE OF APPALACHIA AND ANADARKO ASSETS
On November 3, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement to sell all of its mineral and royalty interests in the Appalachia and Anadarko Basins to an undisclosed third party for $117.5 million of cash consideration, subject to customary closing adjustments. In aggregate for the three months ended September 30, 2023, production associated with these assets was 2,095 Boe/d (14% oil) and revenues were $3.8 million from oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. As of September 30, 2023, there were approximately 0.7 net LOS wells underlying these assets, comprised of approximately 0.5 net spuds and 0.3 net permits. Sitio plans to use the net proceeds to repay borrowings on its revolving credit facility and build additional liquidity to pursue acquisitions of assets that are more comparable to the growth and returns profile of Sitio’s recent Permian Basin acquisitions. The transaction has an effective date of September 1, 2023 and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Sitio did not add to or extinguish any of its commodity swaps or collars during the third quarter of 2023. A summary of the Company’s existing commodity derivative contracts as of September 30, 2023 is included in the table below.

THIRD QUARTER 2023 CASH DIVIDEND

The dividend is payable on November 30, 2023 to the stockholders of record at the close of business on November 21, 2023. Based on a 65% payout ratio of third quarter 2023 Discretionary Cash Flow and not including the pro forma impacts from the Cash Acquisitions, Sitio’s quarterly dividend would have been approximately $0.48 per Class A common share; however, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a third quarter 2023 dividend of $0.49 per Class A common share, which equates to a 65% payout ratio including pro forma Discretionary Cash Flow for the full three months ended September 30, 2023 for the Cash Acquisitions that closed during the third quarter 2023.
