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 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 Earthstone Energy, Inc. (“ESTE,” “Earthstone” or the “Company”) and its stockholders from Earthstone’s recent acquisitions of oil and gas properties (including the acquisition of oil and gas properties from Titus Oil & Gas LLC and its affiliates (the “Titus Acquisition”)) , the expected future reserves, production, financial position, business strategy, revenues, earnings, free cash flow, 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 successfully integrate the oil and gas properties it has recently acquired (including the Titus Acquisition) and achieve anticipated benefits from them; risks relating to any unforeseen liabilities of Earthstone or the oil and gas properties it has recently acquired; 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 writedowns; 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 or to support a shareholder return program; Earthstone’s ability to obtain external capital to finance exploration and development operations and acquisitions; the impacts of hedging on results of operations; uninsured or underinsured losses resulting from oil and natural gas operations; competition for assets, equipment, materials and qualified people; supply chain disruptions; constraints or downtime on midstream assets servicing Earthstone’s oil and gas production; Earthstone’s ability to replace oil and natural gas reserves; any loss of senior management or technical personnel; regulatory matters, including environmental regulations; social, market and regulatory efforts to address climate change; 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 for the year ended December 31, 2021, 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. The forward‐looking statements included in this presentation speak only as of the date of this presentation and Earthstone undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward‐looking statements except as required by law. . This presentation contains estimates of Earthstone’s future EBITDAX, Free Cash Flow and 2022 production, capital expenditures and expense guidance, including with respect to the expected pro forma effect of the Titus Acquisition on these and other metrics. 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 and well completions. 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 2022 and future capital budgets is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including volatility in commodity prices and the potential for unanticipated production and completion delays and increases in costs associated with drilling, production and transportation. Use of Non‐GAAP Information This presentation includes financial measures that are not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) such as PV‐10, free cash flow and Adjusted EBITDAX. Such non‐GAAP measures are not alternatives to GAAP measures, and you should not consider these non‐GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For additional disclosure regarding such non‐GAAP measures, including reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP measure, please refer to the Appendix or to Earthstone’s press release for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Cautionary Note on Reserves and Resource Estimates The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves. Any reserve estimates provided in this presentation that are not specifically designated as being estimates of proved reserves may include estimated reserves or locations not necessarily calculated in accordance with, or contemplated by, the SEC’s latest reserve reporting guidelines. You are urged to consider closely the oil and gas disclosures in our 2021 Form 10‐K and our other reports and filings with the SEC. 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. 2

SEC Stand‐Alone Reserves Summary & PV‐10 – Year‐End 2021 24 Stand‐Alone Year‐End 2021 SEC Proved Reserves Reconciliation of PV‐10 As shown in the table below, Earthstone’s stand‐alone estimated proved reserves at year end 2021 were independently estimated by Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc. (“CGA”), independent petroleum engineers, and which was prepared in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidelines, were approximately 147.6 million barrels of oil equivalent (“MMBoe”). SEC rules require that calculations of economically recoverable reserves use the unweighted average price on the first day of the month for the prior twelve‐ month period. The resulting oil and natural gas prices used for Earthstone’s stand‐alone 2021 year end reserve report, prior to adjusting for quality and basis differentials, were $66.56 per barrel and $3.598 per million British Thermal Units (“MMBtu”), respectively. SEC prices net of differentials were $65.64 per barrel, $30.16 per equivalent barrel of NGL and $3.01 per Mcf. PV‐10 is a measure not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) that differs from a measure under GAAP known as “standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows” in that PV‐10 is calculated without including future income taxes. Management believes that the presentation of the PV‐10 value of our oil and natural gas properties is relevant and useful to investors because it presents the estimated discounted future net cash flows attributable to our estimated proved reserves independent of our income tax attributes, thereby isolating the intrinsic value of the estimated future cash flows attributable to our reserves. We believe the use of a pre‐tax measure provides greater comparability of assets when evaluating companies because the timing and quantification of future income taxes is dependent on company‐specific factors, many of which are difficult to determine. For these reasons, management uses and believes that the industry generally uses the PV‐10 measure in evaluating and comparing acquisition candidates and assessing the potential rate of return on investments in oil and natural gas properties. PV‐10 does not necessarily represent the fair market value of oil and natural gas properties. PV‐10 is not a measure of financial or operational performance under GAAP, nor should it be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows as defined under GAAP. The table below provides a reconciliation of PV‐10 to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows (in thousands): Present value of estimated future net revenues $2,016,686  Future income taxes, discounted at 10% $198,314  Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $1,818,372  Oil Gas NGL Total PV‐10 Reserves Category (Mbbls) (MMcf) (Mbbls) (Mboe) ($ in thousands) Proved Developed 35,824 190,999 25,917 93,575 1,371,697 Proved Undeveloped 25,251 93,882 13,114 54,012 644,989 Total 61,075 284,881 39,031 147,587 $2,016,686 


 
Reconciliation of Non‐GAAP Financial Measure – Adjusted EBITDAX 25 3Q 2022 Adjusted EBITDAX ($ in 000s) 1. Consists of expense for non‐cash equity awards and cash‐based liability awards that are expected to be settled in cash. On February 9, 2022, cash‐based liability awards were settled in the amount of $8.1 million. Stock‐based  compensation is included in General and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Earthstone uses Adjusted EBITDAX, a financial measure that is not presented in accordance with 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) on sale of oil and gas properties, net; accretion of asset retirement obligations; depletion, depreciation and amortization; transaction costs; interest expense, net; exploration expense; unrealized loss on derivative contracts; stock based compensation(1); and income tax (benefit) expense. Earthstone excludes the foregoing items from net (loss) income 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 income to Adjusted EBITDAX for: FY 2021 Adjusted EBITDAX ($ in 000s) FY21 Net (loss) income $61,506  Accretion of asset retirement obligations $1,065  Depreciation, depletion and amortization $106,367  Interest expense, net $10,796  Transaction costs $4,875  (Gain) on sale of oil and gas properties ($738) Exploration expense $341  Unrealized loss on derivative contracts $40,795  Stock based compensation(1) $21,014  Income tax (benefit) expense $1,859  Adjusted EBITDAX $247,880  3Q22 Net income (loss) $299,312  Accretion of asset retirement obligations $758  Depreciation, depletion and amortization $90,880  Interest expense, net $20,988  Transaction costs $1,778  (Gain) on sale of oil and gas properties ($14,803) Exploration expense $2,248  Unrealized (gain) loss on derivative contracts ($119,209) Stock based compensation(1) $3,322  Income tax expense (benefit) $60,518  Adjusted EBITDAX $345,792 


 
Reconciliation of Non‐GAAP Financial Measure – Free Cash Flow 26 3Q 2022 Free Cash Flow ($ in 000s) Free Cash Flow is a non‐GAAP financial measure that Earthstone uses as an indicator of our ability to fund our development activities and reduce our leverage. Earthstone defines Free Cash Flow as Net cash provided by operating activities; less (1) Settlement of asset retirement obligations, Gain on sale of office and other equipment, Amortization of deferred financing costs and Change in assets and liabilities from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows; plus (2) Transaction costs, Exploration expense and the current portion of Income tax (expense) benefit from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations; plus (3) the liability portion of stock‐based compensation which is included in General and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations; less (4) Capital expenditures (accrual basis). Alternatively, Free Cash Flow could be defined as Adjusted EBITDAX (defined above), less interest expense, less the current portion of income tax expense, less accrual‐based capital expenditures. Management believes that Free Cash Flow, which measures Earthstone’s ability to generate additional cash from our 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 our performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. The following table provides an alternate calculation of Free Cash Flow for the periods indicated: 3Q 2021 Free Cash Flow ($ in 000s) 3Q22 Adjusted EBITDAX $345,792  Interest expense, net ($20,988) Current portion of income tax expense ($3,473) Capital expenditures (accrual basis) ($147,152) Free Cash Flow $174,179  3Q21 Adjusted EBITDAX $65,042  Interest expense, net ($3,050) Current portion of income tax expense ‐ Capital expenditures (accrual basis) ($44,169) Free Cash Flow $17,823
