 Disclaimer    Forward-Looking StatementsThis presentation contains projections and other forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These projections and statements reflect Riley Exploration Permian, Inc.’s (“Riley Permian”) current views with respect to future events and financial performance. No assurances can be given, however, that these events will occur or that these projections will be achieved, and actual results could differ materially from those projected as a result of certain factors. A discussion of these factors is included in Riley Permian’s periodic reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).This presentation also contains Riley Permian’s updated capital expenditure and production guidance for 2021 and certain forward-looking information with respect to 2022.  The actual levels of production, capital expenditures, expenses and other estimates may be higher or lower than these estimates due to, among other things, uncertainty in drilling schedules, changes in market demand and unanticipated delays in production. These estimates are based on numerous assumptions, including assumptions related to number of wells drilled, average spud to release times, rig count, and production rates for wells placed on production. All or any of these assumptions may not prove to be accurate, which could result in actual results differing materially from estimates. If any of the rigs currently being utilized or intended to be utilized becomes unavailable for any reason, and the Company is not able to secure a replacement on a timely basis, we may not be able to drill, complete and place on production the expected number of wells. Similarly, average spud to release times may not be maintained in 2021. No assurance can be made that new wells will produce in line with historic performance, or that existing wells will continue to produce in line with expectations. Our ability to fund our 2021 and future capital budgets is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including volatility in commodity prices and the potential for unanticipated increases in costs associated with drilling, production and transportation. In addition, our production estimate assumes there will not be any new federal, state or local regulation of portions of the energy industry in which we operate, or an interpretation of existing regulation, that will be materially adverse to our business.Actual results may differ materially from company projections and other forward-looking statements and can be affected by a variety of factors outside the control of Riley Permian, all of which may be amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic and its unpredictable nature, including among other things: fluctuations in the price we receive for our oil, gas, and NGL production, including local market price differentials, which may be exacerbated by the demand destruction resulting from COVID-19; disruptions to the availability of workers and contractors due to illness and stay at home orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic; cost and availability of gathering, pipeline, refining, transportation and other midstream and downstream activities and our ability to sell oil, gas, and NGLs, which may be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, severe weather and other risks and lead to a lack of any available markets; availability of supply chains and critical equipment and supplies; higher than expected costs and expenses, including the availability and cost of services and materials; compliance with environmental and other regulations, including new regulations that may result from the recent change in federal and state administrations and legislatures; legislative or regulatory changes, including initiatives related to hydraulic fracturing, emissions, and disposal of produced water, which may be negatively impacted by the recent change in Presidential administration or legislatures; the ability to receive drilling and other permits or approvals and rights-of-way in a timely manner (or at all), which may be negatively impacted by the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on regulatory employees who process and approve permits, other approvals and rights-of-way and which may be restricted by new Presidential and Secretarial orders and regulation and legislation; reductions in the quantity of oil, gas, and NGLs sold and prices received because of decreased demand and/or curtailments in production relating to mechanical, transportation, storage, capacity, marketing, weather, the COVID-19 pandemic, or other problems; declines in the SEC PV10 value of our oil and gas properties resulting in full cost ceiling test impairments to the carrying values of our oil and gas properties; the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting; success of Riley Permian’s risk management activities; availability of financing and access to capital markets; estimates of proved reserves, exploitation potential, or exploration prospect size; greater than expected production decline rates; timing and amount of future production of oil, gas, and NGLs; cybersecurity threats, technology system failures and data security issues; the inability to transport, process and store oil and gas; hedging activities and the viability of our hedging counterparties, many of whom have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic; economic and competitive conditions; lack of available insurance; cash flow and anticipated liquidity; insufficient liquidity or other factors that may cause the Company to reduce, suspend or totally eliminate dividend payments in the future, whether variable or fixed; continuing compliance with the financial covenant contained in our amended and restated credit agreement; the loss of certain federal income tax deductions; litigation; environmental liabilities; new federal regulations regarding species or habitats; exploration and development opportunities that we pursue may not result in economic, productive oil and gas properties; drilling of wells; development drilling and testing results; performance of acquired properties and newly drilled wells; ability to obtain industry partners to jointly explore certain prospects, and the willingness and ability of those partners to meet capital obligations when requested; unexpected future capital expenditures; amount, nature, and timing of capital expenditures; proving up undeveloped acreage and maintaining production on leases; unforeseen liabilities associated with acquisitions and dispositions; establishing valuation allowances against our net deferred tax assets; potential payments for failing to meet minimum oil, gas, NGL, or water delivery or sales commitments; increased financing costs due to a significant increase in interest rates; risks associated with concentration of operations in one major geographic area; availability and cost of capital; title to properties; ability to complete property sales or other transactions; and other factors discussed in Riley Permian’s reports filed with the SEC. Riley Permian encourages readers to consider the risks and uncertainties associated with projections and other forward-looking statements. In addition, Riley Permian assumes no obligation to publicly revise or update any forward-looking statements based on future events or circumstances.For additional discussion of the factors that may cause us not to achieve our financial projections and/or production estimates, see Riley Permian’s filings with the SEC, including its forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and any amendments thereto. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly the results of any future revisions we may make to this prospective data or to update this prospective data to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation. Therefore, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.None of the information contained in this presentation has been audited by any independent auditor. This presentation is prepared as a convenience for securities analysts and investors and may be useful as a reference tool. Riley Permian may elect to modify the format or discontinue publication at any time, without notice to securities analysts or investors.   
 

   No Offer or SolicitationThis presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.Use of non-GAAP Financial InformationThis presentation includes certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These measures include (i) EBITDA, (ii) Adjusted EBITDA, (iii) Net Debt, (iv) Free Cash Flow and (v) PV-10.  These non- GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance prepared or presented in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing our financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation, and users of any such information should not place undue reliance thereon. See the Appendix for the descriptions and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures presented in this presentation to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.  Riley Permian is unable to provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures contained in this presentation that are presented on a forward-looking basis because Riley Permian is unable, without unreasonable efforts, to estimate and quantify the most directly comparable GAAP components, largely because predicting future operating results is subject to many factors outside of Riley Permian's control and not readily predictable and that are not part of Riley Permian's routine operating activities, including various domestic and international economic, regulatory, political and legal factors.Oil & Gas Reserves The SEC generally permits oil and natural gas companies, in filings made with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves, which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms. In this presentation, Riley Permian may use the terms “resource potential,” “resource play,” “estimated ultimate recovery,” or “EURs,” “type curve” and “standardized measure,” each of which the SEC guidelines restrict from being included in filings with the SEC without strict compliance with SEC definitions.  These terms refer to Riley Permian’s internal estimates of unbooked hydrocarbon quantities that may be potentially discovered through exploratory drilling or recovered with additional drilling or recovery techniques. “Resource potential” is used by Riley Permian to refer to the estimated quantities of hydrocarbons that may be added to proved reserves, largely from a specified resource play potentially supporting numerous drilling locations. A “resource play” is a term used by Riley Permian to describe an accumulation of hydrocarbons known to exist over a large areal expanse and/or thick vertical section potentially supporting numerous drilling locations, which, when compared to a conventional play, typically has a lower geological and/or commercial development risk. “EURs” are based on Riley Permian’s previous operating experience in a given area and publicly available information relating to the operations of producers who are conducting operations in these areas. Unbooked resource potential or “EURs” do not constitute reserves within the meaning of the Society of Petroleum Engineer’s Petroleum Resource Management System or SEC rules and do not include any proved reserves. Actual quantities of reserves that may be ultimately recovered from Riley Permian’s interests may differ substantially from those presented herein. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of Riley Permian’s ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, decreases in oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas prices, well spacing, drilling and production costs, availability and cost of drilling services and equipment, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals, negative revisions to reserve estimates and other factors, as well as actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates. “EURs” from reserves may change significantly as development of Riley Permian’s core assets provides additional data. In addition, Riley Permian’s production forecasts and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells and the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity, which may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases. “Type curve” refers to a production profile of a well, or a particular category of wells, for a specific play and/or area. The “standardized measure” of discounted future new cash flows is calculated in accordance with SEC regulations and a discount rate of 10%. Actual results may vary considerably and should not be considered to represent the fair market value of Riley Permian’s proved reserves.Industry and Marketing DataAlthough all information and opinions expressed in this presentation, including market data and other statistical information (including estimates and projections relating to addressable markets), were obtained from sources believed to be reliable and are included in good faith, Riley Permian has not independently verified the information and makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to its accuracy or completeness. Some data is also based on the good faith estimates of Riley Permian, which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above.

     Appendix 
 

   Non-GAAP Financial Measures – “Adjusted EBITDAX”  Adjusted EBITDAXREPX defines “Adjusted EBITDAX” as net income (loss) adjusted for certain cash and non-cash items, including depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, or DD&A, impairment of long-lived assets, provision for the carrying value of assets, exploration expenses, commodity derivative (gain) loss, settlements on commodity derivatives, premiums paid for derivatives that settled during the period, unit-based compensation expense, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs included in interest expense, income taxes, and non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of REPX’s operating performance. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDAX. REPX’s computations of Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Non-GAAP Financial MeasureAdjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income (loss) as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. REPX management believes Adjusted EBITDAX is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. REPX excludes the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within REPX’s industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital, hedging strategy and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDAX. REPX’s computations of Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to other similarly titled measure of other companies. REPX believes that Adjusted EBITDAX is a widely followed measure of operating performance.The following table provides a reconciliation from the GAAP measure of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDAX.    Adjusted EBITDAX ($ in 000s) Reconciliation  Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDAX  FQ1 2021  FY 2020  FY 2019  FY 2018  Net Income (Loss)   $ (7,941)   $ 35,144    $ 51,866    $ (723)  Exploration expense   424    9,923    5,074    5,992   Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion   5,990    21,479    20,182    15,714   Unit-based compensation expense   413    963    898    4,000   Transaction costs   1,049    1,431    4,553    878   Interest expense   1,235    5,299    4,924    1,707   Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives   19,082    (6,962)   (26,198)   9,616   Income Tax Expense (Benefit)   (515)   718    1,410    -   Restructuring Costs   -    392    -    -   Adjusted EBITDAX   $ 19,737    $ 68,387    $ 62,709    $ 37,184  
 

   Non-GAAP Financial Measures – “Discretionary Cash Flow” and “Free Cash Flow”  Discretionary Cash FlowREPX defines “Discretionary Cash Flow” as Adjusted EBITDAX (defined in “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures – “Adjusted EBITDAX”), less cash interest expense, net.REPX believes that Discretionary Cash Flow, which measures our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations, is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company’s financial performance. Discretionary Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, rather then a substitute for, consolidated net income as a measure of our performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.    Discretionary Cash Flow ($ in 000s) Reconciliation  Reconciliation of Discretionary Cash Flow  FQ1 2021  FY 2020  FY 2019  FY 2018  Adjusted EBITDAX   $ 19,737    $ 68,387    $ 62,709    $ 37,184   Interest expense, net   (1,235)   (5,299)   (4,924)   (1,707)  Discretionary Cash Flow   $ 18,502    $ 63,088    $ 57,785    $ 35,477   Free Cash FlowREPX defines “Free Cash Flow” as Discretionary Cash Flow (defined in “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures – “Discretionary Cash Flow”), less cash capital expenditures, incurred or committed, net.REPX believes that Free Cash Flow, which measures our additional cash from our business operations after capital spent or committed, is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company’s financial performance. Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, rather then a substitute for, consolidated net income as a measure of our performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.  Free Cash Flow ($ in 000s) Reconciliation  Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow  FQ1 2021  FQ4 2020  FQ3 2020  FQ2 2020  Adjusted EBITDAX   $ 19,737    $ 14,257    $ 14,603    $ 19,898   Interest expense, net   (1,235)   (1,213)   (1,302)   (1,418)  Discretionary Cash Flow   $ 18,502    $ 13,044    $ 13,301    $ 18,480   Capital Expenditures   (9,707)   (4,004)   (9,776)   (24,972)  Free Cash Flow   $ 8,795    $ 9,040    $ 3,525    $ (6,492) 
 

   Non-GAAP Financial Measures – “Net Debt”  Net Debt The Company defines net debt as debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful then, total debt, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Management uses net debt to determine the Company’s outstanding debt obligations that would not be readily satisfied by its cash and cash equivalents on hand. The Company believes this metric is useful to analysts and investors in determining the Company’s leverage position because the Company has the ability to, and may decide to, use a portion of its cash and cash equivalents to reduce debt. The following table provides a reconciliation from the GAAP measure of total Long-term debt to Net Debt.    Net Debt ($ in 000s) Reconciliation  Reconciliation of Net Debt  FQ1 2021  FY 2020  FY 2019  Long-term debt   $ 97,500    $ 101,000    $ 97,000   Cash and cash equivalents   1,877    1,660    3,726   Net Debt   $ 95,623    $ 99,340    $ 93,274
