Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Non-GAAP Disclosures
Forward-Looking & Other Cautionary Statements
The information in this presentation by Samson Resources Corporation (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) includes “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements
included in this presentation, other than statements of historical fact, may constitute forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements
or information regarding our future growth, results of operations, operational and financial performance, business prospects and opportunities and future
events. Words such as, but not limited to, “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “project,” “should,” “believe,” “intend,”
“continue,” “could,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “goal,” “foresee” and negatives of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-
looking statements. In particular, statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance contained in
this presentation are forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. The occurrence of the events described and the achievement of the expected results depend
on many events and assumptions, some or all of which are not predictable or within our control. Factors that may cause actual results to differ from
expected results include, but are not limited to: (i) fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices; (ii) the uncertainty inherent in estimating our reserves, future
net revenues and PV-10; (iii) the timing and amount of future production of oil and natural gas; (iv) cash flow and changes in the availability and cost of
capital; (v) environmental, drilling and other operating risks, including liability claims as a result of our oil and natural gas operations; (vi) proved and
unproved drilling locations and future drilling plans; (vii) the effects of existing and future laws and governmental regulations, including environmental,
hydraulic fracturing and climate change regulation; (viii) restrictions contained in our debt agreements; (ix) our ability to generate sufficient cash to service
our indebtedness; (x) our ability to make acquisitions and divestitures on favorable terms or at all; and (xi) any of the risk factors and other cautionary
statements described in, including under the heading “Risk Factors,” the prospectus relating to the exchange offer of our senior notes, dated as of and filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on July 22, 2014, and in the other
documents and reports we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties referenced above occur,
or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking
statements. Further, new factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements emerge from time
to time, and it is not possible to predict all such factors, or the extent to which any such factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ
from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this presentation, and, except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to
update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the
date of this presentation.
This presentation refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures. Definitions of these measures and reconciliation between U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP
financial measures are included at the end of this presentation.

Non-GAAP Disclosures
Cash operating margin, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that the presentation of
these non-GAAP financial measures will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations.
Cash operating margin represents our average realized sales price per Mcfe, including the effect of realized derivatives,  less (i) lease operating expenses
per Mcfe, (ii) production and ad valorem taxes per Mcfe and (iii) general and administrative expenses per Mcfe, excluding stock based compensation
expenses. The per unit components of  cash operating margin are determined by dividing the applicable component by our total production on a natural
gas equivalent basis. We believe that  cash operating margin is an important measure that can facilitate comparisons of our performance between periods
and to the performance of our peer companies.
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents
EBITDA adjusted as applicable in the relevant period for select items specified in the credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility, including
unrealized hedging losses (gains), non-cash stock compensation expenses, management and similar fees paid to our sponsors, costs associated with the
preparation and implementation of certain public company compliance obligations, losses (gains) on non-ordinary course asset dispositions, ceiling test
charges and certain unusual and non-recurring charges. We define Covenant Adjusted EBITDA as total Adjusted EBITDA less the Adjusted EBITDA
attributable to any assets or businesses disposed of during the relevant period. We believe that the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and
Covenant Adjusted EBITDA is important to provide management and investors with (i) additional information to evaluate our ability to service and comply
with our debt obligations, adjusting for certain items required or permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the credit agreement governing our
revolving credit facility, (ii) a supplemental indicator of the operational performance and value of our business, (iii) an additional criterion for evaluating
our performance relative to peer companies and (iv) supplemental information about certain material non-cash and other items that may not continue at
the same level in the future.
Net income (loss) is the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to each of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA. Our non-
GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Each of these non-GAAP
financial measures has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable
GAAP financial measure. You should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported
under GAAP. Because  cash operating margin, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in
our industry, our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby
diminishing their utility.
Management compensates for the limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable GAAP financial
measures, understanding the difference between the non-GAAP financial measures, on the one hand, and each of their respective most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures, on the other hand, and incorporating this knowledge into its decision-making processes. We believe that investors
benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.
The following table presents reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for each of the periods
indicated.
