Forward-Looking Statements Forward-Looking Statements. This presentation includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Certain statements in this presentation are forward-looking and are based upon the current belief of Warren Resources, Inc. (“Warren") as to the outcome and timing of future events. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address activities that Warren plans, expects, believes, projects, estimates or anticipates will, should or may occur in the future, including future production of oil and gas, future capital expenditures and drilling of wells and future financial or operating results are forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that any of such plans, expectations, estimates or projections will prove to have been correct, and the same can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks or uncertainties. Important factors that could cause actual results or other expectations expressed in this presentation to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements herein include, but are not limited to: commodity price volatility; domestic and worldwide economic conditions; potential adverse changes in general economic conditions, including performance of financial markets, interest rates and unemployment rates; unsuccessful drilling or operating activities; the inability to develop our reserves through exploration and development activities; potential impact of environmental and other governmental regulation, including delays in obtaining governmental and other permits and approvals, and impacts on competing energy sources as well as on natural gas; possible legislative or regulatory changes, including severance or production tax regimes, hydraulic-fracturing regulation, additional drilling and permitting regulations, oil and natural gas derivatives reform, changes in state, federal and foreign income taxes, environmental regulation (including with respect to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions), environmental risks and liability under federal, state, foreign and local environmental and other laws and regulations; the failure to obtain sufficient capital resources to fund our operations; our ability to repay our debt; the extent to which natural gas markets in the United States become integrated with global natural gas markets through the approval and development of infrastructure supporting the export of liquefied and other natural gas; a decline in oil or natural gas production; changes in the localized and global supply and demand fundamentals of natural gas and oil and transportation availability; incorrect estimates of reserve quantities, operating costs and capital expenditures; increases in the cost of drilling, completion and gas gathering or other costs of production and operations; hazardous and risky drilling operations; and an inability to grow. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, Warren's actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation or as of the report document in which they are contained. Absent legal requirement, we assume no duty to update these statements as of any future date. Further information on risks and uncertainties that may affect Warren’s operations and financial performance, and the forward-looking statements made herein, is available in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (www.sec.gov), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in other public filings and press releases. Reserves. The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC's definitions of such terms. Warren discloses only estimated proved reserves in its filings with the SEC. Warren's estimated proved reserves as of December 31, 2014 contained in this presentation were prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc., a nationally recognized engineering firm, and comply with definitions promulgated by the SEC. Additional information on Warren’s estimated proved reserves is contained in Warren's Annual Report on Form 10-K. In this presentation, Warren may also use internal estimates of “resource potential”, “prospective or potential resources” or “recoverable resource” or other descriptions of volumes of resources potentially recoverable through additional exploratory drilling or recovery techniques, which volumes the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit Warren from including in filings with the SEC. These estimates, as well as estimates of probable and possible reserves, are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized by Warren. Prospective resources refers to Warren's internal estimates of hydrocarbon quantities that may be potentially discovered through exploratory drilling or recovered with additional drilling or recovery techniques. Prospective resources does not constitute reserves within the meaning of the Society of Petroleum Engineer's Petroleum Resource Management System. Actual quantities that may be ultimately recovered from Warren's interests might differ substantially. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of Warren’s ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drilling services and equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals, changes in law and other factors; and actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates. Estimates of prospective resources may change significantly as development of our resource plays provides additional data. Non-GAAP Information.

GRAPHIC

Non-GAAP Disclosure Warren reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). However, management believes certain non-GAAP measures provide useful information for investors as the Company utilizes non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the performance of its operation and many of those same measures are commonly used by industry analysts to evaluate a company's operations as well as for comparison purposes to industry peers. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, excludes from the calculation of net income, the impact of unrealized non-cash gains or losses related to the mark to market of hedging contracts as well as other non-recurring items such as severance expense and other extraordinary items. Management views this measure as offering a more accurate picture of our current business operations as unrealized hedging gains and losses are accounting adjustments and have no cash impact on our operations. Additionally, by excluding non-recurring items, adjusted net income enables comparison of the business' ongoing prospects to previous periods. Discretionary cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of changes in working capital from the calculation of cash flow from operations. Management views this measure as useful because it is widely accepted by the investment community as a means of measuring a company's ability to fund its capital expenditures, while excluding the fluctuations caused by changes in current assets and liabilities. "EBITDA" (earnings before interest expenses, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) is a non-GAAP measure and excludes the impact of working capital growth, capital expenditures, debt principal reductions, and other sources and uses of cash from net income. Management views this measure as useful because it indicates the Company's ability to generate cash flow at a level that can sustain its operations and support its capital investment program. EBITDA is a commonly used measure by the Company and industry peers to evaluate and compare operational performance and plan our capital expenditure programs. EBITDA is not a calculation based on GAAP and in measuring our Company's performance should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The PV-10 value represents a non-GAAP measure that differs from the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows presented in Warren’s Form 10-K, which includes the effect of future income taxes. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows represents the present value of future cash flows attributable to our proved oil and natural gas reserves after income tax, discounted at 10%. The PV-10 value represents the present value of future cash flows attributable to our proved oil and gas reserves before income tax, discounted at 10% per annum. We use PV-10 value when assessing the potential return on investment related to our oil and gas properties. Although it is a non-GAAP measure, we believe that the presentation of the PV-10 value is relevant and useful to our investors because it presents the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our proved reserves prior to taking into account future corporate income taxes and our current tax structure.

PV-10 Reconciliation1 Non-GAAP Reconciliation: Year-end 2014 SEC PV-10 1) PV-10 reconciliation to Standardized for Warren as of year-end 2014; not pro forma for recent Marcellus acquisition Information on Reserves and PV-10 Value The PV-10 value represents a non-GAAP measure that differs from the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows presented in Warren's Form 10-K, which includes the effect of future income taxes. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows represents the present value of future cash flows attributable to our proved oil and natural gas reserves after income tax, discounted at 10%. The PV-10 value represents the present value of future cash flows attributable to our proved oil and gas reserves before income tax, discounted at 10% per annum. We use PV-10 value when assessing the potential return on investment related to our oil and gas properties. Although it is a non-GAAP measure, we believe that the presentation of the PV-10 value is relevant and useful to our investors because it presents the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our proved reserves prior to taking into account future corporate income taxes and our current tax structure.
