2 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 (the “Exchange Act”). 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,” “guidance,” “target,” “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 the expected benefits of (i) the acquisition (the “Tracker Acquisition”) of certain assets from Tracker Resource Development III, LLC (“Tracker”) and Sequel Energy Group, LLC (“Sequel”); (ii) the acquisition of working interests in the Eagle Ford in May 2021 and June 2021 (collectively, the “Eagle Ford Acquisition”); and (iii) the acquisition of certain assets from Foreland Investments LP and BCC-Foreland LLC (the “Foreland Acquisition” and together with the Tracker Acquisition and the Eagle Ford Acquisition, the “Acquisitions”) by Earthstone Energy, Inc. (“ESTE,” “Earthstone” or the “Company”) and its stockholders, the expected future reserves, production, financial position, business strategy, revenues, earnings, costs, capital expenditures and debt levels of the Company, and plans and objectives of management for future operations. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and analyses made by Earthstone and its management 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 to expectations is subject to a number of material risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: Earthstone’s ability to integrate the assets acquired in the Acquisitions and achieve anticipated benefits from them; risks relating to any unforeseen liabilities of Earthstone or the assets acquired in the Acquisitions; declines in oil, natural gas liquids or natural gas prices; the level of success in exploration, development and production activities; adverse weather conditions that may negatively impact development or production activities; the timing of exploration and development expenditures; inaccuracies of reserve estimates or assumptions underlying them; revisions to reserve estimates as a result of changes in commodity prices; impacts to financial statements as a result of impairment write-downs; risks related to level of indebtedness and periodic redeterminations of the borrowing base under the Company’s credit facility; Earthstone’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to fund all or portions of its future capital expenditures budget; Earthstone’s ability to obtain external capital to finance exploration and development operations and acquisitions; the ability to successfully complete any potential asset dispositions and the risks related thereto; the impacts of hedging on results of operations; uninsured or underinsured losses resulting from oil and natural gas operations; Earthstone’s ability to replace oil and natural gas reserves; any loss of senior management or technical personnel; and the direct and indirect impact on most or all of the foregoing on the evolving COVID-19 pandemic. Earthstone’s annual report on Form 10-K and as amended by Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020, recent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, recent current reports on Form 8-K, 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. This presentation contains Earthstone’s 2021 production, capital expenditure and operating expense guidance. The actual levels of production, capital expenditures and operating expenses may be higher or lower than these estimates due to, among other things, uncertainty in drilling schedules, oil and natural gas prices, changes in market demand for hydrocarbons and unanticipated delays in production. These estimates are based on numerous assumptions. All or any of these assumptions may not prove to be accurate, which could result in actual results differing materially from estimates. No assurance can be made that any new wells will produce in line with historical performance, or that existing wells will continue to produce in line with Earthstone’s expectations. Earthstone’s ability to fund its 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 Industry and Market Data This presentation has been prepared by Earthstone and includes market data and other statistical information from third-party sources, including independent industry publications, government publications or other published independent sources. Although Earthstone believes these third-party sources are reliable as of their respective dates, Earthstone has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of this information. Some data are also based on Earthstone’s good faith estimates, which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the third-party sources described above. Estimated Ultimate Recovery and Locations Management’s use of the term estimated ultimate recovery (“EUR”) in this presentation describes estimates of potentially recoverable hydrocarbons that the SEC rules prohibit from being included in filings with the SEC. These are more speculative than estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized, particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history. We include EUR to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by Earthstone. Actual quantities that may be ultimately recovered may differ substantially from estimates. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of the operators' ongoing drilling programs, 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 and other factors, and actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates. Estimates of potential resources may also change significantly as the development of the properties underlying Earthstone's mineral interests provides additional data. This presentation also contains Earthstone’s internal estimates of its potential drilling locations, which may prove to be incorrect in a number of material ways. The actual number of locations that may be drilled may differ substantially from estimates.

26 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Adjusted EBITDAX Earthstone uses Adjusted EBITDAX, a financial measure that is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by Earthstone’s management team and external users of its financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. Earthstone’s management team believes Adjusted EBITDAX is useful because it allows Earthstone to more effectively evaluate its operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. Earthstone defines Adjusted EBITDAX as net (loss) income plus, when applicable, (gain) loss on sale of oil and gas properties, net; accretion of asset retirement obligations; impairment expense; depletion, depreciation and amortization; transaction costs; interest expense, net; rig termination expense; exploration expense; unrealized loss (gain) on derivative contracts; stock based compensation (non-cash); and income tax expense (benefit). Earthstone excludes the foregoing items from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within their industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net (loss) income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of Earthstone’s operating performance or liquidity. 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. Earthstone’s computation of Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies or to similar measures in Earthstone’s revolving credit facility. The following table provides a reconciliation of Net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDAX for: (1) Included in General and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 2Q 2021 Adjusted EBITDAX ($ in 000s)3Q 2021 Adjusted EBITDAX ($ in 000s) 2Q 21 Net (loss) income ($15,831) Accretion of asset retirement obligations $303 Depreciation, depletion and amortization $26,027 Impairment expense $0 Interest expense, net $2,401 Transaction costs $507 Loss (gain) on sale of oil and gas properties ($348) Exploration expense $30 Unrealized loss (gain) on derivative contracts $36,653 Stock based compensation (non-cash)(1) $4,412 Income tax expense (benefit) ($486) Adjusted EBITDAX $53,668 3Q 21 Net (loss) income $18,838 Accretion of asset retirement obligations $323 Depreciation, depletion and amortization $27,059 Impairment expense $0 Interest expense, net $3,050 Transaction costs $293 Loss (gain) on sale of oil and gas properties ($392) Exploration expense $296 Unrealized loss (gain) on derivative contracts $12,244 Stock based compensation (non-cash)(1) $2,880 Income tax expense (benefit) $451 Adjusted EBITDAX $65,042


 
27 Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Free Cash Flow Free Cash Flow is a measure that Earthstone uses as an indicator of the ability to fund its development activities. Earthstone defines Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDAX, less interest expense, less accrual- based capital expenditures. Management believes that Free Cash Flow, which measures the ability to generate additional cash from Earthstone’s business operations, is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company's financial performance. Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, consolidated net income as a measure of the Company’s performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. 1H 2021 Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow ($ in 000s)3Q 2021 Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow ($ in 000s) 1H 21 Adjusted EBITDAX $97,511 Interest expense, net (4,618) Capital expenditures (accrual basis) (32,621) Free Cash Flow $60,272 3Q 21 Adjusted EBITDAX $65,042 Interest expense, net (3,050) Capital expenditures (accrual basis) (44,169) Free Cash Flow $17,823
