Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
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) our substantial indebtedness; (ii) our ability to refinance, restructure or amend our
indebtedness or otherwise improve our capital structure and liquidity; (iii) fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices; (iv) the uncertainty inherent in
estimating our reserves, future net revenues and PV-10; (v) the timing and amount of future production of oil and natural gas; (vi) cash flow and
changes in the availability and cost of capital; (vii) environmental, drilling and other operating risks, including liability claims as a result of our oil and
natural gas operations; (viii) proved and unproved drilling locations and future drilling plans; (ix) the effects of existing and future laws and
governmental regulations, including environmental, hydraulic fracturing and climate change regulation; (x) restrictions contained in our debt
agreements; (xi) our ability to generate sufficient cash to service our indebtedness; (xii) our ability to make acquisitions and divestitures on favorable
terms or at all; and (xiii) any of the risk factors and other cautionary statements, including under the heading “Risk Factors,” described in the Company’s
Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 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.

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.
We refer to PV-10 as the present value of estimated future net cash flows of estimated proved reserves as calculated in the respective reserve report using a discount
rate of 10%. This amount includes projected revenues, estimated production costs and estimated future development costs and excludes the estimated cash flows
related to future asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) and future income taxes. We have also included PV-10 after ARO below. PV-10 after ARO includes the present
value of ARO related to proved reserves using a 10% discount rate and no inflation of current costs. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures of PV-10 and 
PV-10 after ARO are relevant and useful for evaluating the relative monetary significance of our proved oil and natural gas reserves. We believe the use of pre-tax
measures is valuable because there are many unique factors that can impact an individual company when estimating the amount of future income taxes to be paid.
Management believes that the presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors because they are widely used by investors in evaluating oil and
natural gas companies. 
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.
