Slide 1

Disclaimer Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements that are not strictly historical statements constitute forward-looking statements and may often, but not always, be identified by the use of such words such as “expects,” “believes,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” “potential,” “possible,” or “probable” or statements that certain actions, events or results “may,” “will,” “should,” or “could” be taken, occur or be achieved. The forward-looking statements include statements about oil and gas pricing assumptions, future operations, estimates of reserve and production volumes, estimates of capital expenditures, expansion of production and reserves, future growth potential, possible acquisitions, and the ability to raise future capital. Forward-looking statements are based on expectations and assumptions and analyses made by Earthstone Energy, Inc. (“Earthstone”) in light of experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform with expectations is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including adverse changes in oil and gas prices or protracted periods of low oil and gas prices; problems that may arise in the integration of the businesses involved with the transactions generally described on Page 4; that the transactions may involve additional and unexpected costs; the risks of the oil and gas industry (for example, operational risks in exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas; risks and uncertainties involving geology of oil and gas deposits); the uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to future production, costs and expenses; potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; health, safety and environmental risks and risks related to weather; inability of management to execute its plans to meet its goals; shortages of drilling equipment, oil field personnel and services; unavailability of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities; the possibility that government policies may change; and that foreign production rates may change. Earthstone’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings discuss some of the important risk factors identified that may affect Earthstone’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Earthstone undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements except as required by law.

Financial Information Combined as if the Earthstone and Oak Valley assets were operated together for the entirety of 2014. Otherwise, figures for 2013 and 2014 represent Oak Valley. Reported 2014 income tax expense includes the cumulative effect of deferred taxes upon conversion of the Oak Valley subsidiaries to a taxable entity. The pro forma combined number is an estimate of the combined entities effective tax rate. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Our Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDAX in the same manner.
