ROSEHILL RESOURCES INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
Organization

Rosehill Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Rosehill”) is an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the acquisition, exploration, development and production of unconventional oil and associated liquids-rich natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin. The Company’s assets are concentrated in the Delaware Basin, a sub-basin of the Permian Basin.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware on September 21, 2015 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name of KLR Energy Acquisition Corp. (“KLRE”) for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses. On April 27, 2017, the Company acquired a portion of the equity of Rosehill Operating Company, LLC (“Rosehill Operating”), in a transaction structured as a reverse recapitalization (the “Transaction”), into which Tema Oil & Gas Company (“Tema”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Rosemore, Inc. (“Rosemore”), contributed certain assets and liabilities. At the closing of the Transaction, the Company became the sole managing member of Rosehill Operating. Following the Transaction, the Company changed its name to Rosehill Resources Inc.

As the sole managing member of Rosehill Operating, the Company, through its officers and directors, is responsible for all operational and administrative decision-making and control of all of the day-to-day business affairs of Rosehill Operating without the approval of any other member, unless specified in the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Rosehill Operating (the “LLC Agreement”).

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial results of the Company consist of the financial results of Rosehill and Rosehill Operating, its consolidated subsidiary. As of March 31, 2019, the Company owns approximately 32.4% of the common units of Rosehill Operating (the “Rosehill Operating Common Units”) and Tema owns approximately 67.6% of the Rosehill Operating Common Units.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods.

Variable Interest Entities

Rosehill Operating is a variable interest entity. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of Rosehill Operating as the Company is the sole managing member and has the power to direct the activities most significant to Rosehill Operating’s economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and receive benefits that are potentially significant. The Company consolidated 100% of Rosehill Operating’s assets and liabilities and results of operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Although Tema had a larger ownership interest in Rosehill Operating, because it has disproportionately fewer voting rights, Tema is shown as a noncontrolling interest holder of Rosehill Operating. For further discussion, see Noncontrolling Interest in Note 13 - Stockholders’ Equity.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2019

Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”), supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and industry-specific guidance in Subtopic 932-605, Extractive Activities-Oil and Gas-Revenue Recognition and requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, as clarifying guidance to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations.

ASC 606 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, and the Company has elected to adopt it using the modified retrospective method. The Company has completed its review of the impact of ASC 606 on its significant contracts and determined that the Company was not required to record a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The implementation of ASC 606 did result in changes to the presentation of “Revenues” and “Gathering and transportation” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Prior to adoption, the Company recorded all gathering and processing fees incurred for natural gas and NGLs in “Gathering and transportation.” After adoption of ASC 606, where the Company delivers raw gas to midstream processing companies and retains control of its natural gas and plant products until tailgate of the plant, the cost of such gathering and processing will continue to be reflected in the Company’s “Gathering and transportation” as has been its practice historically. In the case where the Company delivers raw gas to the midstream processing companies and transfers control of its raw natural gas at the inlet to the midstream processing companies, such costs are being reported as a reduction to “Natural gas sales” and “Natural gas liquids sales.” Upon adoption, we have also expanded disclosures related to revenue recognition. See Note 17 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The pronouncement requires, among other things, public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes and requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset. For the Company, these changes became effective on January 1, 2019. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which clarifies certain aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-01 including: the ability to irrevocably elect to change the measurement approach for equity securities measured using the practical expedient (at cost plus or minus observable transactions less impairment) to a fair value method in accordance with Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement; clarification that if an observable transaction occurs for such securities, the adjustment is as of the observable transaction date; clarification that the prospective transition approach for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value is meant only for instances in which the practical expedient is elected; and various other clarifications. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 and ASU 2018-03 has been evaluated by the Company and the adoption does not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842, which provides clarifying guidance regarding land easements and adds practical expedients. In July 2018, further amendments were issued under ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides entities with an additional transition method in which an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. ASU 2016-02 and its related updates are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
 
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments requiring the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets, which include trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The guidance in this ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 with early adoption permitted for

interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The evaluation of this standard and its impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures is currently being assessed.

Derivatives and Hedging. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which expands and refines hedge accounting for both financial and non-financial risk components, aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of hedging instruments and hedge items in the financial statements, and includes certain targeted improvements to ease the application of current guidance related to the assessment of hedge effectiveness. ASU 2017-12 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement Disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which removes, modifies and adds disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and the Company is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its disclosures.

Note 5 – Derivative Instruments
 
Commodity derivatives. The Company enters into various derivative instruments primarily to mitigate a portion of the exposure to potentially adverse market changes in oil and natural gas commodity prices and the associated impact on cash flows. All contracts are entered into for other-than-trading purposes. Oil and natural gas commodity derivative instruments are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value as either an asset or a liability with changes in fair value recognized currently in earnings. While commodity derivative instruments are utilized to manage the price risk attributable to expected oil and natural gas production, the Company’s commodity derivative instruments are not designated as accounting hedges under the accounting guidance. The related cash flow impact of the commodity derivative activities is reflected as cash flows from operating activities unless they are determined to have a significant financing element at inception, in which case they are classified within financing activities.

Series B Preferred Stock bifurcated derivative - In the event of a change of control, the Company shall redeem in cash all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, excluding Series B PIK Shares, each as defined in Note 11 - 10% Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock, for a price per share equal to the Base Return Amount as defined in Note 11 - 10% Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock. The Company assessed the change of control feature and determined that the redemption of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, excluding Series B PIK Shares, for a price per share equal to the Base Return Amount was a bifurcated derivative. See Note 11 - 10% Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock for defined terms and more detail.

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements
 
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed within the following fair value hierarchy:
 
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Active markets are those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
 
Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes those derivative instruments that are valued using observable market data.
 
Level 3 – Measured based on prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources. Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment.
 
Observable data is considered to be market data if it is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by multiple, independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the perceived risk of that investment.

Derivative assets and liabilities primarily represent unsettled amounts related to commodity derivative positions, including swaps and options. Derivative liabilities also include the Series B Preferred Stock bifurcated derivative for the various redemption amounts that the Company could incur if a change of control event occurs. The Company utilizes Level 3 assumptions to estimate the probability of a change of control occurring and when that would occur as the timing impacts the Base Return Amount as defined in Note 11 - 10% Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock.

The tables below, set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, represent the net components of the assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. These net balances are intended solely to provide information on sources of inputs to fair value and proportions of fair value involving objective versus subjective valuations and do not represent either the actual credit exposure or net economic exposure.

Financing Arrangements
 
The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturities and/or liquid nature of these assets and liabilities. The Company’s revolving credit facility carrying value is representative of its fair value because the interest rate changes monthly based on the current market of the stated rates in the agreement. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of the 10% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes (the “Second Lien Notes”) was $95.2 million, which was determined using quoted prices for similar instruments, a Level 2 classification in the fair value hierarchy.
 
Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities
 
Non-financial assets and liabilities that are initially measured at fair value are comprised of asset retirement obligations and the corresponding increase to the related long-lived asset and are not remeasured at fair value in subsequent periods. Such initial measurements are classified as Level 3 because certain significant unobservable inputs are utilized in their determination. The fair value of additions to asset retirement obligation liability and certain changes in the estimated fair value of the liability are measured using valuation techniques consistent with the income approach, converting future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation include (i) estimated plug and abandonment cost per well based on historical experience and information from third-parties; (ii) estimated remaining life per well; (iii) future inflation factors; and (iv) average credit-adjusted risk-free rate. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates by management at the time of the valuation and are the most sensitive and subject to change.
 
If the carrying amount of oil and natural gas properties exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying amount of the oil and natural gas properties will be adjusted to their fair value. The fair value of oil and natural gas properties is determined using valuation techniques consistent with the income and market approach. The factors used to determine fair value are subject to management’s judgment and expertise and include, but are not limited to, (i) recent sales prices of comparable properties; (ii) the present value of future cash flows, net of estimated operating and development costs using estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves; (iii) future commodity prices; (iv) future production estimates; (v) anticipated capital expenditures; and (vi) various discount rates commensurate with the risk and current market conditions associated with the projected cash flows. These assumptions represent “Level 3” inputs.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

Pecos County, Texas Exchange and Farm-in Agreement. On February 27, 2019, Rosehill closed a cashless acreage exchange in the Southern Delaware Basin receiving approximately 384 net undeveloped acres contiguous to its core areas in the Southern Delaware Basin in exchange for approximately 389 net undeveloped acres not contiguous to its core areas in the Southern Delaware Basin. No gain or loss was recognized on the exchange. In addition, Rosehill gained approximately 2,000 net acres contiguous to its core areas in the Southern Delaware Basin subject to its obligation to drill and complete up to seven wells through 2020 and carrying 25% of the drilling and completion costs for each of the seven wells and the costs of facilities and equipment.

On April 4, 2019, Rosehill closed the transaction (the “Closing Date”) with an effective date of October 1, 2018. Rosehill received a deposit of $1.1 million upon signing the Tatanka Assets PSA and received the remaining $20.9 million on the Closing Date. The purchase price is subject to customary closing adjustments due within 120 days of the Closing Date. The carrying value of the Tatanka Assets at March 31, 2019, all of which was within Proved oil and natural gas properties, was approximately $10.8 million.

Revolving Credit Facility

On March 28, 2018, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain other financial institutions party thereto, as lenders. The borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at an adjusted base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1% to 2% or at an adjusted LIBO Rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 2% to 3%. As of March 31, 2019, the weighted average interest rate of outstanding borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was 5.0%. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the lenders party thereto have agreed to provide the Company with a $500 million secured reserve-based revolving credit facility with an initial borrowing base of $150 million. The maturity date of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is August 31, 2022 and automatically extends to March 2023 upon the payment in full of the Second Lien Notes. The borrowing base is re-determined semi-annually, with the lenders and the Company each having the right to one interim unscheduled redetermination between any two consecutive semi-annual redeterminations. As of March 31, 2019, the borrowing base was $300 million. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $207.0 million outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

The amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of Rosehill Operating’s oil and natural gas properties and associated assets and all of the stock of Rosehill Operating’s material operating subsidiaries that are guarantors of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. If an event of default occurs under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will have the right to proceed against the pledged capital stock and take control of substantially all of Rosehill Operating and Rosehill Operating’s material operating subsidiaries that are guarantors’ assets. There are currently no guarantors under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants. These covenants may limit Rosehill Operating’s ability to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; make loans to others; make investments; enter into mergers; make or declare dividends or distributions; enter into commodity hedges exceeding a specified percentage of Rosehill Operating’s expected production; enter into interest rate hedges exceeding a specified percentage of Rosehill Operating’s outstanding indebtedness; incur liens; sell assets; and engage in certain other transactions without the prior consent of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and/or the lenders.
 
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also requires Rosehill Operating to maintain the following financial ratios: (1) a current ratio, which is the ratio of consolidated current assets (including unused commitments under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, but excluding non-cash assets) to consolidated current liabilities (excluding non-cash obligations, current maturities under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined below)), of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; (2) (x) a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of the sum of all of Rosehill Operating’s Total Debt to Annualized EBITDAX (as such terms are defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) for the four fiscal quarters then ended, of not greater than 4.0 to 1.0 and (y) commencing on and after repayment in full of the Second Lien Notes (other than surviving contingent indemnification obligations) and the repayment or redemption in full of the Series B Preferred Stock, a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of the sum of all of Rosehill Operating’s Net Debt to Annualized EBITDAX (as such terms are defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), of not greater than 4.0 to 1.0 and (3) for so long as the Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding, a coverage ratio, which is the ratio of (i) EBITDAX (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) to (ii) the sum of (x) Interest Expense (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus (y) the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) made in cash pursuant to Sections 9.04(a)(iv) and (v) of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement during the preceding four fiscal quarters, of not less than 2.5 to 1.0. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for the measurement period ended March 31, 2019.
 
Second Lien Notes

On December 8, 2017, Rosehill Operating issued and sold $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 10.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due January 31, 2023 to EIG Global Energy Partners, LLC (“EIG”) under and pursuant to the terms of that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 8, 2017 (as amended by the Limited Consent and First Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 28, 2018, the “Note Purchase Agreement”), among Rosehill Operating, the Company, the holders of the Second Lien Notes party thereto (the “Holders”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as agent and collateral agent on behalf of the Holders. The Second Lien Notes were issued and sold to the Holders in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (such issuance and sale, the “Notes Purchase”).

ROSEHILL RESOURCES INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Under the Note Purchase Agreement, Rosehill Operating may, at its option, redeem the Second Lien Notes in whole or in part, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (i) at any time after December 8, 2019 but on or prior to December 8, 2020, at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes being redeemed, (ii) at any time after December 8, 2020 but on or prior to December 8, 2021, at a redemption price equal to 101.5% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes being redeemed and (iii) at any time after December 8, 2021, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes being redeemed. On or prior to December 8, 2019, Rosehill Operating may, at its option, redeem the Second Lien Notes in whole or in part, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes being redeemed plus an additional make-whole premium set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.

The Second Lien Notes may become subject to redemption under certain other circumstances, including upon the incurrence of non-permitted debt or, subject to various exceptions, reinvestments rights and prepayment or redemption rights with respect to other debt or equity of Rosehill Operating, upon an asset sale, hedge termination or casualty event. Rosehill Operating will be further required to make an offer to redeem the Second Lien Notes upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount being redeemed. Other than in connection with a change in control or casualty event, the redemption prices and make-whole premium described in the foregoing paragraph shall also apply, at such times and to the extent set forth therein, to any mandatory redemption of the Second Lien Notes or any acceleration of the Second Lien Notes prior to the stated maturity thereof upon the occurrence of an event of default.

The Note Purchase Agreement requires Rosehill Operating to maintain a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of the sum of all of Rosehill Operating’s Total Debt to Annualized EBITDAX (as such terms are defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) for the four fiscal quarters then ended, of not greater than 4.00 to 1.00.

The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in the Note Purchase Agreement for the measurement period ended March 31, 2019.

The Note Purchase Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and other terms and provisions that are based largely on the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with a number of important modifications reflecting the second lien nature of the Second Lien Notes and certain other terms that were agreed to with the Holders. The negative covenants may limit Rosehill Operating’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness (including under senior unsecured notes), make investments, make or declare dividends or distributions, redeem its preferred equity, acquire or dispose of oil and gas properties and other assets or engage in certain other transactions without the prior consent of the Holders, subject to various exceptions, qualifications and value thresholds. Rosehill Operating is also required to meet minimum commodity hedging levels based on its expected production on an ongoing basis.

The Company is subject to certain limited restrictions under the Note Purchase Agreement, including (without limitation) a negative pledge with respect to its equity interests in Rosehill Operating and a contingent obligation to guarantee the Second Lien Notes upon request by the Holders in the event that the Company incurs debt obligations. The obligations of Rosehill Operating under the Note Purchase Agreement are secured on a second-lien basis by the same collateral that secures its first-lien obligations. In connection with the Notes Purchase, Rosehill Operating has granted first-lien and second-lien security interests over additional collateral to meet the minimum mortgage requirements under the Note Purchase Agreement.

Deferred Financing Costs and Debt Discount

The Company capitalizes discounts and certain direct costs associated with the issuance of debt and amortizes such costs over the lives of the respective debt instruments. The Company amortized debt issuance costs and discounts of $0.4 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The deferred financing costs related to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are classified in prepaid assets and the deferred financing costs and discounts related to the Second Lien Notes are netted against the long-term debt. The following table summarizes the Company’s deferred financing costs and debt discounts:

Note 11 – 10% Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock

On December 8, 2017, in connection with the acquisition of mineral rights, royalty interest and other associated assets in the Southern Delaware Basin (the “White Wolf Acquisition”), the Company entered into a Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series B Preferred Stock Agreement”) to issue 150,000 shares of the Company’s 10.00% Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $150.0 million, less transaction costs, advisory and up-front fees of approximately $10.0 million to certain private funds and accounts managed by EIG (collectively, the “Series B Preferred Stock Purchasers”). The Company had the option, subject to certain conditions, to sell from time to time up to an additional 50,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, in aggregate, to the Series B Preferred Stock Purchasers and their transferees for a purchase price of $1,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock. Such option terminated on December 8, 2018 without the Company exercising the option.

Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), cumulative dividends in cash, at a rate of 10.00% per annum on the $1,000 liquidation preference per share of Series B Preferred Stock, payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2018. With respect to dividends declared for any quarter ending on or prior to January 15, 2019, the Company had the option to pay as dividends additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock in kind (the “Series B PIK Shares”) in an amount up to 40% of that which would have been payable had the dividends been fully paid in cash.

Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have no voting rights and have limited consent rights with respect to the taking of certain corporate actions by the Company. Upon the Company’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive the Base Return Amount (as defined in the Series B Preferred Stock Agreement) plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

The shares of Series B Preferred Stock are redeemable by the Company at the election of the holders on or after December 8, 2023, and upon certain conditions and at any time at the Company’s option. As the holders of Series B Preferred Stock have an option to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock at a future date, the proceeds from the Series B Preferred Stock have been included in temporary, or “mezzanine” equity, between total liabilities and stockholders’ equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The Series B Preferred Stock, while not currently redeemable at the option of the holders, are considered probable of becoming redeemable and therefore will be subsequently remeasured each reporting period by accreting the initial value to the estimated redemption date of December 8, 2023 when the Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable in whole or in part at the election of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock. The accretion is presented as a deemed dividend and recorded in mezzanine equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and within preferred dividends on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In addition to the 10.00% per annum cumulative dividend holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, upon redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock, such holders are guaranteed a base return on the initial 150,000 shares purchased in an amount equal to (1) $1,250 per share of Series B Preferred Stock times the number of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock had the Company redeemed the shares prior to the first anniversary of the date of issuance of such share of Series B Preferred Stock; (2) $1,350 per share of Series B Preferred Stock times the number of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock if the Company redeems the shares on or after the first anniversary and prior to the second anniversary of the date of issuance of such share of Series B Preferred Stock; and (3) on or after the second anniversary of the date of issuance of such share of Series B Preferred Stock, the greater of (x) $1,500 per share of Series B Preferred Stock and (y) an amount necessary to achieve a 16% internal rate of return (“IRR”) (the “Base Return Amount”) with respect to such shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Since the Series B Preferred Stock can be redeemed by the holders on or after December 23, 2023 and management has no plans to redeem before that date, the Company has accrued a guaranteed return amount in order to achieve the 16% IRR.

In the event of a change of control, the Company shall redeem in cash all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, excluding Series B PIK Shares, for a price per share equal to the Base Return Amount and all Series B PIK Shares at the purchase price of $1,000 per share. The Company assessed the change of control feature and determined that the redemption of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, excluding Series B PIK Shares, for a price per share equal to the Base Return Amount was an embedded derivative that required bifurcation and was accounted for at fair value. The Company measured the derivative liability and recorded a discount of $0.6 million upon initial measurement.

The Company reflected the following in mezzanine equity for the Series B Preferred Stock as of March 31, 2019:

Note 12 – Income Taxes
 
In 2017, the Company became the sole managing member of Rosehill Operating, the Company’s accounting predecessor. Rosehill Operating is a limited liability company that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Any taxable income or loss generated by Rosehill Operating is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including the Company. The Company is a C corporation and is subject to U.S. federal income tax and state and local income taxes.

The Company’s income tax provision was an expense of $3.3 million and a benefit of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 3.3% and 22.0% for three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the enacted statutory rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to the allocation of profits and losses to Rosehill and the noncontrolling interest holder in accordance with the LLC Agreement and the impact of state income taxes.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $38.1 million of U.S. federal net operating loss carryovers, which will begin to expire in 2035. The Company periodically assesses whether it is more likely than not that it will generate sufficient taxable income to realize its deferred tax assets, including NOL carry forwards. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recognized when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of March 31, 2019, we have no valuation allowance because the Company thinks it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will be realized prior to their expiration. In making this determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative

evidence and makes certain assumptions. The Company considers, among other things, its deferred tax liabilities, the overall business environment, its historical earnings and losses, current industry trends and its outlook for future years.

The Company is subject to the following material taxing jurisdictions: the United States, Texas and New Mexico. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has no current tax years under audit. The Company remains subject to examination for federal income taxes and state income taxes for tax years 2015 to present.

The Company has evaluated all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open and believes that the material positions taken would more likely than not be sustained upon examination. Therefore, as of March 31, 2019, the Company had not established any reserves for, nor recorded any unrecognized benefits related to, uncertain tax positions. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the Transaction, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement (“Tax Receivable Agreement”) with the noncontrolling interest holder, Tema. The Tax Receivable Agreement provides that the Company will pay to Tema 90% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the Company realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods beginning with and after the closing of the Transaction as a result of the following: (i) any tax basis increases in the assets of Rosehill Operating resulting from the distribution to Tema of $35 million in cash, the shares of Class B Common Stock and the issuance of 4,000,000 warrants to Rosehill Operating exercisable for shares of its Class A Common Stock, all in connection with the Transaction, and resulting from the assumption of Tema liabilities in connection with the Transaction, (ii) the tax basis increases in the assets of Rosehill Operating resulting from a redemption by Rosehill Operating with respect to Tema and (iii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, payments it makes under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

The estimation of liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement is by its nature imprecise and subject to significant assumptions regarding the amount and timing of future taxable income.  The Company is not obligated to make any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement until the tax benefits associated with the transaction that gave rise to the payment obligation are realized. Amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement are contingent upon, among other things, (i) generation of future taxable income over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement and (ii) future changes in tax laws. If the Company does not generate sufficient taxable income in the aggregate over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement to utilize the tax benefits, then the Company would not be required to make the related Tax Receivable Agreement payment. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company recognized a Tax Receivable Agreement liability of approximately $3.5 million after concluding that it was probable that we would have sufficient future taxable income to utilize the related tax benefits.

If and when Tema exercises its right to cause the Company to redeem all or a portion of its Rosehill Operating Common Units, a liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement relating to such redemption will be recorded. The amount of liability will be based on 90% of the estimated future cash tax savings that the Company will realize as a result of increases in the basis of Rosehill Operating’s assets attributed to the Company resulting from such redemption. The amount of the increase in asset basis, the related estimated cash tax savings and the attendant Tax Receivable Agreement liability will depend, in part, on the price of the Class A Common Stock at the time of the relevant redemption. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the amount and timing of future redemptions of Rosehill Operating Common Units by Tema, the Company does not believe it is appropriate to record additional Tax Receivable Agreement liability until such time that Rosehill Operating Common Units are redeemed for shares of Class A Common Stock or cash.

Note 13 – Stockholders’ Equity
 
Class A Common Stock. Holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. Holders of the Class A Common Stock and holders of the Class B Common Stock voting together as a single class have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Additionally, KLR Energy Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Tema agreed to restrictions on certain transfers of the Company’s securities, which include, subject to certain exceptions, restrictions on the transfer of (i) 33% of their common stock through the first anniversary of the closing date of the Transaction, which restrictions lapsed on April 27, 2018, and (ii) 67% of their common stock through the second anniversary of the closing date, provided that sales of common stock above $18.00 per share will be permitted between the first and second anniversaries of the closing date of the Transaction. Further, in connection with underwritten offerings by the Sponsor and Tema, and subject to certain conditions, sales of common stock at a price reasonably expected to equal or exceed $18.00 per share and in any case equal to or in excess of $16.00 per share will be permitted.

On October 2, 2018, the Company issued 6,150,000 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to an underwriting public offering (the “Class A Common Stock Offering”), and on October 5, 2018, the Company issued an additional 840,744 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ option. The Company contributed all of the $39.4 million net proceeds from the Class A Common Stock Offering and the exercise of the underwriters’ option to Rosehill Operating in exchange for Rosehill Operating Common Units.

Class B Common Stock. Shares of Class B Common Stock may be issued only to Tema, their respective successors and assignees, as well as any permitted transferees of Tema. A holder of Class B Common Stock may transfer shares of Class B Common Stock to any transferee (other than the Company) only if such holder also simultaneously transfers an equal number of such holder’s Rosehill Operating Common Units to such transferee in compliance with the LLC Agreement. Holders of the Company’s Class B Common Stock will vote together as a single class with holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on all matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders.

 Holders of Class B Common Stock generally have the right to cause the Company to redeem all or a portion of their Rosehill Operating Common Units in exchange for shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on a one-to-one basis or, at the Company’s option, an equivalent amount of cash. The Company may, however, at its option, affect a direct exchange of cash or Class A Common Stock for such Rosehill Operating Common Units in lieu of such a redemption. Upon the future redemption or exchange of Rosehill Operating Common Units, a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock will be canceled.
 
In the Transaction, the Company issued to Rosehill Operating 29,807,692 shares of its Class B Common Stock and 4,000,000 warrants exercisable for shares of its Class A Common Stock in exchange for 4,000,000 warrants exercisable for Rosehill Operating Common Units. Rosehill Operating immediately distributed the warrants and shares of Class B Common Stock to Tema.

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and is convertible, at the holder’s option at any time, initially into 86.9565 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $11.50 per share of Class A Common Stock), subject to specified adjustments and limitations as set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”). Under certain circumstances, the Company will increase the conversion rate upon a “fundamental change” as described in the Certificate of Designation.
 
The Company contributed the net proceeds of $70.8 million from its issuance to certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors (the “PIPE Investors) of 75,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 5,000,000 warrants exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock to Rosehill Operating. In connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Sponsor transferred 476,540 shares of its Class A Common Stock to the PIPE Investors to consummate the Transaction. The net proceeds from the issuance of these shares of Series A Preferred Stock and warrants was attributed to the Series A Preferred Stock, warrants and Class A Common Stock contributed by the Sponsor to the PIPE Investors based on the relative fair value of those securities using, among other factors, the closing price of the Class A Common Stock and the closing price of the warrants on April 27, 2017.

Rosemore and the Sponsor backstopped redemptions by the public stockholders of the Company once 30% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock were redeemed by purchasing 20,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for net proceeds of $20 million pursuant to a side letter entered into between Rosemore, the Sponsor and the Company. The Company contributed to

Rosehill Operating the net proceeds from the issuance of 20,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Rosemore Holdings, Inc. and the Sponsor.

Future issuances of Series A Preferred Stock resulting from dividends paid-in-kind may, depending on the trading price per share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the dividend date, contain a beneficial conversion option determined on the same basis as described above and, thus, result in additional non-cash deemed dividends which will reduce net income attributable to Rosehill Resources, Inc. common stockholders when such paid-in-kind shares of Series A Preferred Stock are granted.

The Company also ratably recognizes additional non-cash deemed dividends attributable to the Series A Preferred Stock discount which was created by the issuance of the warrants exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock and the contribution of the Class A Common Stock, as the Series A Preferred Stock which was sold to the PIPE Investors is converted. Such non-cash deemed dividends will reduce net income attributable to Rosehill Resources Inc. common stockholders.

The table below summarizes the Series A Preferred Stock dividends reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

For each of the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, dividends per share on the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock was $19.73.

Warrants. Each of the Company’s warrants entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the warrant agreement. The warrants have a five-year term which commenced on April 27, 2017, upon the completion of the Transaction, and will expire on April 27, 2022. The Company may call the warrants for redemption if the reported last sale price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $21.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
 
There were 588,276 warrants issued in connection with the formation of the Company and 7,597,044 public warrants (the “Public Warrants”) issued in connection with KLRE’s initial public offering. Additionally, there were 8,408,838 warrants issued to the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital Inc. pursuant to a private placement (the “Private Placement Warrants”) in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. The Private Placement Warrants are not redeemable by the Company and are exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial holders or their permitted transferees. Otherwise, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants described above. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the initial holders or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants described above.
 
In connection with the closing of the Transaction, the Company issued 5,000,000 warrants to the PIPE Investors and 4,000,000 warrants to Tema. These warrants were issued on the same terms, and are subject to the same rights and obligations, as described above.
 
As of March 31, 2019, there were 25,594,158 warrants exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding at a price of $11.50. All warrants expire on April 27, 2022.
 
Noncontrolling Interest. Noncontrolling interest represents the membership interest held by holders other than the Company. The Company has consolidated the financial position and results of operations of Rosehill Operating and reflected the proportionate interest held by Tema as a noncontrolling interest. The noncontrolling interest will change when shares of Series A Preferred Stock are converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, when shares of Class A Common Stock are issued in connection with the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Compensation plan and when Tema elects to exchange the Class B Common Stock received in

connection with the Transaction for shares of Class A Common Stock. At March 31, 2019, Tema held an approximate 67.6% noncontrolling interest in Rosehill Operating.
 
Note 14 - Stock-Based Compensation

Long-Term Incentive Plan

The Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended and restated on May 22, 2018, the “LTIP”) permits the grant of a number of different types of equity, equity-based and cash awards to employees, directors and consultants, including grant options, SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock awards, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards, substitute awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), in its sole discretion. The purpose of the LTIP is to provide a means to attract and retain qualified service providers by affording such individuals a means to acquire and maintain stock ownership or awards, the value of which is tied to the performance of the Company. The LTIP also provides additional incentives and reward opportunities designed to strengthen such individuals’ concern for the welfare of the Company and their desire to remain in its employ. At the plan’s inception, 7,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were reserved for issuance under the LTIP.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company has granted restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance share units under the LTIP. Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock and restricted stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards. Stock-based compensation is included in general and administrative expense on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. The stock-based compensation expense recognized was $1.0 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of March 31, 2019, 3,550,513 shares of Class A Common Stock remained available for issuance under the LTIP, subject to adjustment pursuant to the plan.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock granted under the LTIP is issued on the grant date, but is restricted as to transferability until vesting. These restricted shares generally vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The following table sets forth the restricted stock transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2019:

Market Based Performance Share Units

On March 26, 2018 and March 27, 2019, the Company granted a target number of market based performance share units to certain employees. The market based performance share units cliff vest approximately 2.67 years from date of grant and will be settled in stock, provided that certain performance criteria are met. The performance criteria applicable to such awards is relative total shareholder return, which measures the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of the peer group identified by the Compensation Committee. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the performance share units subject to market conditions regardless of whether it becomes probable that these conditions will be achieved or not and compensation expense is not reversed if vesting does not actually occur. The following table sets forth market based performance share unit transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2019:

The grant-date fair value was estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The Monte Carlo valuation model is based on random projections of stock price paths and must be repeated numerous times to achieve a probabilistic assessment. Expected volatility was calculated based on the historical volatility of the Class A Common Stock, and the risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield curve rates with maturities consistent with the three-year vesting period. The following assumptions were used to value the market based performance awards:

Cash-Settled Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants cash-settled restricted stock units to certain employees. Cash-settled restricted stock units entitle the holder to receive the cash equivalent of one share of Class A Common Stock for each restricted stock unit when such restricted stock unit vests. These cash-settled restricted stock units generally vest in three substantially equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. Cash-settled restricted stock units are classified as liabilities and are remeasured at each reporting date until settled. The stock-based compensation expense for cash-settled restricted stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards. The following table sets forth cash-settled restricted stock unit transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2019:

Rosehill Operating Common Units redeemed (subject to customary adjustments, including for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications). In the event of a reclassification event (as defined in the LLC Agreement), the Company as managing member is required to ensure that each Rosehill Operating Common Unit (and a corresponding share of Class B Common Stock) is redeemable for the same amount and type of property, securities or cash that a share of Class A Common Stock becomes exchangeable for or converted into as a result of such reclassification event. Upon the exercise of the redemption right, Tema will surrender its Rosehill Operating Common Units (and a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock) to Rosehill Operating and (i) Rosehill Operating shall cancel such Rosehill Operating Common Units and issue to the Company a number of Rosehill Operating Common Units equal to the number of surrendered Rosehill Operating Common Units and (ii) the Company shall cancel the surrendered shares of Class B Common Stock. The LLC Agreement requires that the Company contribute cash or shares of Class A Common Stock to Rosehill Operating in exchange for the issuance to the Company described in clause (i). Rosehill Operating will then distribute such cash or shares of Class A Common Stock to Tema to complete the redemption. Upon the exercise of the redemption right, the Company may, at its option, affect a direct exchange of cash or its Class A Common Stock for such Rosehill Operating Common Units in lieu of such a redemption.

Maintenance of One-to-One Ratios. The LLC Agreement includes provisions intended to ensure that the Company at all times maintains a one-to-one ratio between (a) (i) the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) the number of Rosehill Operating Common Units owned by the Company (subject to certain exceptions for certain rights to purchase equity securities of the Company under a “poison pill” or similar shareholder rights plan, if any, certain convertible or exchangeable securities issued under the Company’s equity compensation plans and certain equity securities issued pursuant to the Company’s equity compensation plans (other than a stock option plan) that are restricted or have not vested thereunder) and (b) (i) the number of other outstanding equity securities of the Company (including the Series A Preferred Stock and the warrants exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock) and (ii) the number of corresponding outstanding equity securities of Rosehill Operating. These provisions are intended to result in Tema having a voting interest in the Company that is identical to Tema’s economic interest in Rosehill Operating.

Contingencies
 
Legal. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is party to various legal actions, which arise primarily from its activities as operator of oil and natural gas wells. In management’s opinion, the outcome of any such currently pending legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. There is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against the Company or any members of its management team in their capacity as such requiring a contingent liability to be recognized as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
Note 17— Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company recognizes oil, natural gas and NGL revenue at the point in time when control of the product transfers to the customer, which differs depending on the contractual terms of each of the Company’s arrangements. Transfer of control drives the presentation of gathering, transportation, processing and other post-production expenses (“gathering and transportation expense”) within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In these scenarios below, the Company evaluates whether it is the principal or the agent in the transaction, which analysis includes considerations of product redelivery, take-in-kind rights and risk of loss. For those contracts where the Company has concluded that control of the product transfers at the tailgate of the plant, meaning that the Company is the principal and the ultimate third party purchaser is its customer, the Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis, with transportation and gathering expenses presented within the Gathering and transportation line item on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Alternatively, for those contracts where the Company has concluded control of the product transfers at or near the wellhead or inlet of the plant, meaning that the Company is the agent and the midstream processing company is the Company’s customer, the Company recognizes natural gas and NGL revenues based on the net amount of proceeds received from the midstream processing company. The Company has the following categories under which oil, natural gas and NGL revenue is generated:

The Company sells its crude oil and condensate production at the wellhead or further downstream at a contractually-specified delivery point. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the customer based on contract terms, which reflects an agreed-upon index price, net of basis, quality and transportation differentials. Gathering and transportation fees incurred prior to control transfer are recorded within the Gathering and transportation line item on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, while gathering and transportation fees incurred subsequent to control transfer are recorded as a reduction of oil revenues.

The Company sells its liquids rich natural gas to a midstream processor at or near the wellhead. The midstream processor gathers and processes the liquids rich natural gas and remits the proceeds to the Company from the ultimate sale of the residue gas and NGLs to third parties. In such arrangements, the midstream processor obtains control of the product at the wellhead and is considered the customer. Proceeds received for the residue gas and NGLs from the midstream processor are reflected as natural gas and NGL revenue, respectively, and are recorded net of gathering and transportation fees incurred by the midstream processor after control has transferred.

The Company sells its liquids rich natural gas to a midstream processor at the inlet to the midstream processing facility. The midstream processor gathers and processes the liquids rich natural gas and remits the proceeds to the Company from the ultimate sale of the residue gas and NGLs to third parties. In such arrangements, the midstream processor obtains control of the product at the inlet to the processing facility and is considered the customer. Gathering and transportation fees incurred by the Company to deliver its liquids rich natural gas to the inlet of the facility occurs prior to the transfer of control to the customer and are recognized within the Gathering and transportation line item on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Proceeds received for the residue gas and NGLs from the midstream processor are reflected as natural gas and NGL revenue, respectively, and are recorded net of gathering and transportation fees incurred by the midstream processor after control has transferred.

The Company has the option in certain midstream processing arrangements where liquids rich natural gas is delivered to the midstream processing facility, the midstream processor gathers and processes the liquids rich natural gas and then the processed residue gas and NGLs are redelivered to the Company in-kind at the tailgate of the processing facility. The Company sells its in-kind residue gas and NGLs to its customer at the tailgate of the processing facility. Gathering and transportation fees incurred prior to transfer of control at the tailgate of the processing facility are recognized within the Gathering and transportation line item on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Proceeds received for the residue gas and NGLs from the customer are reflected as natural gas and NGL revenue, respectively, and are recorded net of gathering and transportation fees incurred by the customer after control has transferred.

The implementation of ASC 606 resulted in changes to the presentation of Revenues and Gathering and transportation on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, but it did not have any impact to net income (loss) or cash flows from operations. The impacts of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, were as follows:

Performance obligations

The Company’s contractual performance obligations arise upon the production of hydrocarbons from wells in which the Company has an ownership interest. The performance obligations are considered satisfied upon control transferring to a customer at the wellhead, inlet, or tailgate of the midstream processor’s processing facility, or other contractually specified delivery point. For all commodity products, the Company records revenue in the month production is delivered to the customer. Settlement statements for certain natural gas and NGL sales may not be received for 30 to 90 days after the date production volumes are delivered and for oil, generally within 30 days after delivery has occurred. However, payment is unconditional once the performance obligations have been satisfied. At this time, the volume and price can be reasonably estimated and amounts due from customers are accrued in Accounts receivable, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, such receivable balances were $32.2 million and $28.9 million, respectively, as disclosed in Note 4 - Accounts Receivable.

ROSEHILL RESOURCES INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

The Company records any differences between its estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. Historically, any identified differences between revenue estimates and actual revenue received have not been significant. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, revenue recognized in the reporting period related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods was not material.

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations

For the Company’s product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC Topic 606 which states the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these sales contracts, monthly sales of a product generally represent a separate performance obligation; therefore, future commodity volumes to be delivered and sold are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to such unsatisfied performance obligations is not required.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside of our control. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, market prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs, production volumes, estimates of proved reserves, capital expenditures, economic and competitive conditions, regulatory changes and other uncertainties, as well as those factors discussed below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and below in“Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements,” all of which are difficult to predict. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may not occur.
  
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “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”). All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this report, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (our "Annual Report on Form 10-K"), and the risk factors and other cautionary statements contained in our other filings with the SEC. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current beliefs as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events.

Forward-looking statements may include statements about:

our future financial performance;
our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of acquired mineral rights and other associated assets and interests in the Southern Delaware Basin in December 2017 (the “White Wolf Acquisition”);
our business strategy;
our reserves;
our drilling prospects, inventories, projects and programs;
our ability to replace the reserves we produce through drilling and property acquisitions;
our financial strategy, liquidity and capital required for our development program;
our realized oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGL”) prices;
the timing and amount of our future production of oil, natural gas and NGLs;
our hedging strategy and results;
our future drilling plans;
our expansion plans and future opportunities;
our competition and government regulations;
our ability to obtain permits and governmental approvals;
our pending legal or environmental matters;
our marketing of oil, natural gas and NGLs;
our leasehold or business acquisitions;
our costs of developing our properties;
general economic conditions;
credit markets;
uncertainty regarding our future operating results; and
our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions contained in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to those risks described under “Risk Factors” in Our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our

33



business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make.

Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements we make in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are reasonable, we can give no assurance that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied by the forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.

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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

We are an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the acquisition, exploration, development and production of unconventional oil and associated liquids-rich natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin. Our assets are concentrated in the Delaware Basin, a sub-basin of the Permian Basin. We have drilling locations in ten distinct formations in the Delaware Basin in: the Brushy Canyon, Upper Avalon, Lower Avalon, 2nd Bone Spring Shale, 2nd Bone Spring Sand, 3rd Bone Spring Sand, 3rd Bone Spring Shale, Wolfcamp A (X/Y), Lower Wolfcamp A and Wolfcamp B, and our goal is to build a premier development and acquisition company focused on horizontal drilling in the Delaware Basin.
We have no direct operations and no significant assets other than our ownership interest in Rosehill Operating, an entity of which we act as the sole managing member and of whose common units we currently own approximately 32.4% (or 43.7% assuming the conversion of Rosehill Operating Series A Preferred Units into Rosehill Operating common units).

How We Evaluate Our Operations
 
We use a variety of financial and operational metrics to assess the performance of our oil and natural gas operations, including:
 
production volumes;

operating expenses on a per Barrel of oil equivalent (“Boe”);

cost of reserve additions from drilling operations; and

Adjusted EBITDAX as defined under “Non-GAAP Financial Measure.”

Market Conditions

The oil and natural gas industry is cyclical and commodity prices are highly volatile. In the second half of 2014, oil prices began a rapid and significant decline as the global oil supply began to outpace demand. During 2015, 2016 and early 2017, the global oil supply continued to outpace demand, resulting in a sustained decline in realized prices for oil production. In general, this imbalance between supply and demand reflected the significant supply growth achieved in the United States as a result of shale drilling and oil production increases by certain other countries, including the efforts of Russia and Saudi Arabia to retain market share, combined with only modest demand growth in the United States and less-than-expected demand in other parts of the world, particularly in Europe and China. NGL prices generally correlate to the price of oil. Prices for domestic natural gas began to decline during the third quarter of 2014 and continued to be weak during 2015 through 2017. This decline was primarily due to an imbalance between supply and demand across North America. Throughout 2018 and 2019, commodity prices improved, yet remained volatile, and it is likely that commodity prices will continue to fluctuate due to global supply and demand, inventory supply levels, weather conditions, geopolitical and other factors. Due to these and other factors, commodity prices cannot be accurately predicted.

Realized Prices

Our revenue, profitability and future growth are highly dependent on the prices we receive for our oil and natural gas production, as well as NGLs that are extracted from our natural gas during processing. The following table presents our average realized commodity prices before the effects of commodity derivative settlements:

Lower commodity prices in the future could result in impairments of our properties and may materially and adversely affect our future business, financial condition, results of operations, operating cash flows, liquidity, or ability to finance planned capital expenditures. Lower oil, natural gas and NGL prices may also reduce the borrowing base under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which may be determined at the discretion of the lenders and is based on the collateral value of our proved reserves that have been mortgaged to the lenders. Alternatively, higher oil, natural gas and NGL prices may result in significant non-cash fair value losses being incurred on our commodity derivatives, which could cause us to experience net losses when oil and natural gas prices rise.

A 10% change in our realized oil, natural gas and NGL prices would have changed revenue by the following amounts for the periods indicated:

As reservoir pressures decline, production from a given well or formation decreases. Growth in our future production and reserves will depend on our ability to continue to add proved reserves in excess of our production. Accordingly, we plan to maintain our focus on adding reserves through drilling as well as acquisitions. Our ability to add reserves through development projects and acquisitions is dependent on many factors, including our ability to borrow or raise capital, obtain regulatory approvals, procure contract drilling rigs and personnel and successfully identify and consummate acquisitions.
 
Derivative Activity

To achieve a more predictable cash flow and reduce exposure to adverse fluctuations in commodity prices, we have historically used commodity derivative instruments, such as swaps, two-way costless collars and three-way costless collars, to hedge price risk associated with a portion of our anticipated oil and natural gas production. By removing a significant portion of the price volatility associated with our oil and natural gas production, we will mitigate, but not eliminate, the potential negative effects of declines in benchmark oil and natural gas prices on our cash flow from operations for those periods. However, for a portion of our current positions, hedging activity may also reduce our ability to benefit from increases in oil and natural gas prices. We will sustain losses to the extent our commodity derivative contract prices are lower than market prices and, conversely, we will sustain gains to the extent our commodity derivative contract prices are higher than market prices. In certain circumstances, where we have unrealized gains in our commodity derivatives portfolio, we may choose to restructure existing commodity derivative contracts or enter into new transactions to modify the terms of current contracts in order to realize the current value of our existing positions.

Income Taxes

Rosehill Operating is a limited liability company that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Rosehill Resources is a C corporation and is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by Rosehill Operating is passed through to and included in Rosehill Resources and the noncontrolling interest taxable income or loss. On a consolidated basis, our effective tax rate will differ from the enacted statutory rate of 21% and will fluctuate from period to period primarily due to the allocation of profits and losses to Rosehill Resources and the noncontrolling interest holder in accordance with the LLC Agreement and the impact of state income taxes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by our management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), DD&A, accretion, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, exploration costs, stock-settled stock-based compensation, (gains) losses on commodity derivatives excluding net cash receipts (payments) on settled commodity derivatives, one-time costs incurred in connection with the Transaction, gains and losses from the sale of property and equipment, (gains) losses on asset retirement obligation settlements and other non-cash operating items. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income (loss) as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Management believes Adjusted EBITDAX is useful because it allows them to more effectively evaluate operating performance and compare our results of operations from period to period and against our peers without regard to financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our 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 income (loss) as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as an indicator of our 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. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDAX should not be construed as an inference that its results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

We have provided below a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAX to net loss, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.

Excluding the effects of settled and unsettled commodity derivative transactions unless noted otherwise.

The increase in total revenues was due to higher sales volume, partially offset by a lower average sales price. The increase in sales volume contributed approximately $35.7 million of the increase in total revenues and was partially offset by the $19.6 million impact of the decrease in average sales price. The increase in sales volume is primarily attributable to additional wells going into production throughout 2018 and 2019. The decrease in average sales price is due to lower WTI, Henry Hub prices and NGL prices during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.

We adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”) on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in the Company recording less total revenue of approximately $0.1 million. There was no impact on our net loss; the impact was a change in presentation between revenues and gathering and transportation expense based on where control of our oil, natural gas and NGL production transfers to the customer. The change did not significantly impact our reported average sales for each product. See Note 17 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Part I, Item 1 for more detail on our revenue recognition under ASC 606.

Lease operating expenses. The increase in LOE was due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by a lower average LOE rate. The increase in sales volume contributed to a $6.7 million increase in LOE, partially offset by a $5.2 million decrease due to the effect of a lower LOE rate. The higher sales volume is primarily attributable to additional wells going into production throughout 2018 and the first quarter of 2019. The lower LOE rate is primarily due to lower water disposal costs and equipment rentals for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.
 
Production taxes. Production taxes are primarily based on the market value of our wellhead production. The increase was primarily due to increased total revenues. Our total revenues increased by 29% and production taxes increased by 33%. Production taxes as a percentage of total revenues were 4.9% and 4.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 

Gathering and transportation. Gathering and transportation expenses increased by $0.9 million due to an increase in sales volume of natural gas and NGLs and by an increase of $0.7 million due to an increase in gathering and transportation expense per Boe of natural gas and NGLs. The higher sales volume is primarily attributable to additional wells going into production throughout 2018 and the first quarter of 2019. The increase in gathering and transportation per Boe primarily relates to us bearing more costs for lease owners and contractual increases in rates with our midstream gatherers. The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in the Company recording less gathering and transportation expense of $0.1 million in the current period as compared to prior year. The change did not significantly impact our gathering and transportation per Boe.

DD&A for oil and gas properties increased by $15.0 million primarily due to an increase in production, partially offset by $0.4 million due to a decrease in the DD&A rate. The higher production is primarily attributable to additional wells going into production throughout 2018 and the first quarter of 2019.

Exploration costs. Exploration costs include exploratory seismic expenditures, other geological and geophysical costs, lease rentals and drilling costs of exploratory wells that are determined to be unsuccessful. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily due to ongoing seismic studies of the acreage we acquired in the White Wolf Acquisition.

General and Administrative, excluding stock-based compensation.  The increase to G&A expense was primarily due to an increase in payroll and payroll related costs of $2.9 million as a result of an increase in full-time employees. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million related to a reduced use of consultants for various corporate functions, such as accounting and human resources, during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.

Stock-based compensation. The decrease in stock-based compensation during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily attributable to forfeitures decreasing stock-based compensation expenses. The three month period ending March 31, 2018 had a higher expense for the first tranche of our November 2017 stock-settled restricted stock unit grants because the first tranche was recognized over a service period of less than one-year, compared to the second tranche being amortized over a full year.

Loss on disposition of property and equipment. The loss on disposition of property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 relates to the loss on the sale of a vehicle. The loss on disposition of property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily relates to the write-off of obsolete property and equipment.

Interest Expense. Interest expense related to our credit facility increased $2.3 million primarily as a result of an increase in borrowings outstanding. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in amortization of debt discount and issuance costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we wrote-off the unamortized debt fees and discounts associated with our previous credit facility that we amended and restated in March 2018. Such write-off did not occur during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
 
Loss on commodity derivatives, net. Net gains and losses on our commodity derivatives are a function of fluctuations in the underlying commodity prices versus fixed hedge prices, time decay associated with options and the monthly settlement of the instruments. The total net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is comprised of net losses of $1.0 million on cash settlements and net losses of $103.5 million on mark-to-market adjustments on unsettled positions. The total net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018 is comprised of net losses of $3.0 million on cash settlements and net losses of $18.2 million on mark-to-market adjustments on unsettled positions. 

Capital Requirements and Sources of Liquidity

Overview

Our development and acquisition activities require us to make significant operating and capital expenditures. Historically our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, financing entered into in connection with the Transaction and the White Wolf Acquisition, proceeds from the sale of assets in the Barnett Shale, proceeds from our public offering of Class A Common Stock and borrowings under our credit facility. Our primary uses of cash have been for the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas properties, payments of operating and general and administrative costs and interest payments on outstanding debt.

We expect to continue funding our short-term and long-term growth with cash on hand, cash flow from operations, availability under our credit facility, proceeds from the disposition of our Tatanka Assets, as defined below in “Divestiture of Lea County, New Mexico Assets”, and/or opportunistically accessing the capital markets. The amount and allocation of future capital expenditures will depend upon a number of factors, including the number and size of acquisition opportunities, our cash flows from operations, investing and financing activities, growth of our borrowing base and our ability to assimilate acquisitions and execute our drilling program. We review our capital expenditure forecast periodically to assess changes in current and projected cash flows, acquisition and divestiture activities, debt requirements and other factors. We believe that our sources of funding will be sufficient to satisfy our currently anticipated cash requirements, including capital expenditures, working capital requirements and other liquidity requirements, through at least the next 12 months. If we are unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may not be able to complete acquisitions that may be favorable to us or finance the capital expenditures necessary to execute on our drilling program.

Because we are the operator of a high percentage of our acreage, the timing and level of our capital spending is largely discretionary and within our control. We could choose to defer a portion of these planned capital expenditures depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the success of our drilling activities, prevailing and anticipated prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs, the availability of necessary equipment, infrastructure and capital, the receipt and timing of required regulatory permits and approvals, seasonal conditions, drilling and acquisition costs and the level of participation by other working interest owners. A deferral of planned capital expenditures, particularly with respect to drilling and completing new wells, could result in a reduction in anticipated production and cash flows. Additionally, if we curtail our drilling program, we may lose a portion of our acreage through lease expirations. In addition, we may be required to reclassify some portion of our reserves

42



currently booked as proved undeveloped reserves if such a deferral of planned capital expenditures means we will be unable to develop such reserves within five years of their initial booking.

In the event we make any acquisitions and the amount of capital required is greater than the amount we have available for acquisitions at that time, we could be required to reduce the expected level of capital expenditures and/or seek additional capital. If we require additional capital for that or other reasons, we may seek such capital through traditional reserve base borrowings, joint venture partnerships, production payment financings, asset sales, offerings of debt or equity securities, or other means.

Working Capital Analysis
  
We define working capital as current assets less current liabilities. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had a working capital deficit of $79.7 million and a surplus of $5.5 million, respectively. We may continue to incur working capital deficits in the future due to liabilities incurred in connection with our drilling program until revenue is recognized from the associated production and from the fluctuation in commodity prices, which increases our derivative liabilities when future commodity prices exceeds our fixed hedge prices. Collection of our accounts receivable has historically been timely, and losses associated with uncollectible receivables have historically not been significant. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $5.7 million and $20.2 million, at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Effective March 28, 2019, the borrowing base under our credit facility increased to $300 million, with borrowings of $207.0 million outstanding at March 31, 2019. We expect that the pace of development activities, production volumes, commodity prices and differentials to NYMEX prices for oil and natural gas production will be the most significant variables affecting our working capital.

Analysis of Cash Flow Changes for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018
  
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities is primarily driven by the changes in commodity prices, operating expenses, production volumes and associated changes in working capital. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities of $32.5 million was primarily due to an increase in production, which increased revenues by $16.1 million, a decrease in cash related expenses of $15.2 million and a decrease in loss on hedge settlements of $1.2 million.
  
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 included $75.8 million attributable to the development of oil and natural gas properties and $0.1 million for additions to other property and equipment, all of which was partially offset by the deposit received for the sale of our Tatanka Assets in the amount of $1.1 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 included $109.3 million attributable to the development of oil and natural gas properties and mineral leases and $4.0 million for the release of the escrow deposit for the White Wolf Acquisition.
 
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily consisted of net borrowings of $13.0 million million under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement partially offset by $3.4 million of dividend payments and $0.6 million of debt issuance costs. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily consisted of net borrowings of $79.6 million under our credit facilities partially offset by $1.6 million of debt issuance costs and $1.0 million of dividend payments.

Divestiture of Lea County, New Mexico Assets

On March 26, 2019, Rosehill signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell all of its rights, title and interests to all leases, wells, facilities, easements and contracts located in Lea County, New Mexico (the “Tatanka Assets”) (the “Tatanka Assets PSA”) for cash consideration of $22.0 million, along with the assumption, by the purchaser, of all abandonment obligations associated with the properties. On April 4, 2019, Rosehill closed the transaction (the “Closing Date”) with an effective date of October 1, 2018. Rosehill received a deposit of $1.1 million upon signing the Tatanka Assets PSA and received the remaining $20.9 million on the Closing Date. The purchase price is subject to customary closing adjustments due within 120 days of the Closing Date.

Class A Common Stock Equity Offering

On September 27, 2018, we entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representative of the Underwriters, for a public offering of 6,150,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $6.10 per share ($5.795 per share net of underwriting discounts and commissions). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 922,500 shares of Class A Common Stock.

On October 2, 2018, upon the closing of the Class A Common Stock Offering, the Company issued 6,150,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company’s net proceeds from the Class A Common Stock Offering, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs, was $34.5 million. On October 5, 2018, the Underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 840,744 shares of Class A Common Stock at the Underwriters’ price of $5.795 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $4.9 million for the shares of Class A Common Stock sold pursuant to the exercise of the Underwriters’ option. The Company contributed all of the net proceeds from the Class A Common Stock Offering and the exercise of the Underwriters’ option to Rosehill Operating in exchange for Rosehill Operating Common Units.

Debt Agreements

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. On March 28, 2018, Rosehill Operating and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank, entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to refinance and replace Rosehill Operating’s previous credit facility (the “Previous Credit Facility”).

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, Rosehill Operating’s line of credit and a letter of credit facility increased from up to $250 million under the Previous Credit Facility to up to $500 million under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, subject to a borrowing base that is determined semi-annually by the Lenders based upon Rosehill Operating’s financial statements and the estimated value of its oil and gas properties, in accordance with the Lenders’ customary practices for oil and gas loans. The redeterminations will occur on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The borrowing base is scheduled to be automatically reduced upon the issuance or incurrence of debt under senior unsecured notes or upon Rosehill Operating’s or any of its subsidiaries’ disposition of properties or liquidation of hedges in excess of certain thresholds. Amounts borrowed under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may not exceed the borrowing base. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also does not permit Rosehill Operating to borrow funds if, at the time of such borrowing, Rosehill Operating is not in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants. Additionally, Rosehill Operating’s borrowing base may be reduced in connection with the subsequent redetermination of the borrowing base. Rosehill Operating and the Lenders each have the right to one interim unscheduled redetermination of the borrowing base between any two successive scheduled redeterminations. Rosehill Operating’s initial borrowing base was $150 million, which represented an increase of $75 million from the borrowing base in effect under the Previous Credit Facility. The first redetermination under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement occurred on June 29, 2018, which increased our borrowing base to $210.0 million. Subsequently, our borrowing base was increased to $220 million on December 5, 2018 and $300 million on March 28, 2019.

The amounts outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of Rosehill Operating’s oil and natural gas properties and associated assets and all of the stock of Rosehill Operating’s material operating subsidiaries that are guarantors of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. If an event of default occurs under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will have the right to proceed against the pledged capital stock and take control of substantially all of Rosehill Operating and Rosehill Operating’s material operating subsidiaries that are guarantors’ assets. There are currently no guarantors under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.


44



Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will bear interest at a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.00% to 2.00% or at LIBO Rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 3.00%. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will mature on August 31, 2022, with an automatic extension to March 28, 2023 upon the payment in full of the Second Lien Notes if there is no event of default under the senior secured credit facility during the time of such extension.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants. These negative covenants may limit Rosehill Operating’s ability to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; make loans to others; make investments; enter into mergers; make or declare dividends or distributions; enter into commodity hedges exceeding a specified percentage of Rosehill Operating’s expected production; enter into interest rate hedges exceeding a specified percentage of Rosehill Operating’s outstanding indebtedness; incur liens; sell assets; and engage in certain other transactions without the prior consent of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and/or lenders.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also requires Rosehill Operating to maintain compliance with the following financial ratios:

a current ratio, which is the ratio of consolidated current assets (including unused commitments under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, but excluding certain non-cash assets) to consolidated current liabilities (excluding certain non-cash obligations, current maturities under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined below)), of not less than 1.0 to 1.0,

a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of the sum of Total Debt to Annualized EBITDAX (as such terms are defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) for the four fiscal quarters then ended, of not greater than 4.0 to 1.0 (the calculation of which will be modified once the Second Lien Notes and the Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock are no longer outstanding) and

a coverage ratio, which is the ratio of EBITDAX to the sum of Interest Expense plus the aggregate amount of certain Restricted Payments (as such terms are defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) made during the preceding four fiscal quarters, of not less than 2.5 to 1.0 (such ratio expiring once the Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock are no longer outstanding).

We were in compliance with the current ratio, leverage ratio and coverage ratio in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for the measurement period ended March 31, 2019.

For additional information regarding our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, see Note 10 - Long-term Debt, net in the condensed consolidated financial statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Second Lien Notes. On December 8, 2017, Rosehill Operating issued and sold $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 10.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due January 31, 2023 to EIG Global Energy Partners, LLC (“EIG”) under and pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, among Rosehill Operating and us, the holders of the Second Lien Notes party thereto (the “Holders”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as agent and collateral agent on behalf of the Holders. The Second Lien Notes were issued and sold to the Holders in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.

Under the Note Purchase Agreement, Rosehill Operating may, at its option, redeem the Second Lien Notes in whole or in part, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (i) at any time after December 8, 2019 but on or prior to December 8, 2020, at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes being redeemed, (ii) at any time after December 8, 2020 but on or prior to December 8, 2021, at a redemption price equal to 101.5% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes being redeemed and (iii) at any time after December 8, 2021, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes being redeemed. On or prior to December 8, 2019, Rosehill Operating may, at its option, redeem the Second Lien Notes in whole or in part, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes being redeemed plus an additional make-whole premium set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.


45



The Second Lien Notes may become subject to redemption under certain other circumstances, including upon the incurrence of non-permitted debt or, subject to various exceptions, reinvestments rights and prepayment or redemption rights with respect to other debt or equity of Rosehill Operating, upon an asset sale, hedge termination or casualty event. Rosehill Operating will be further required to make an offer to redeem the Second Lien Notes upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount being redeemed. Other than in connection with a change in control or casualty event, the redemption prices and make-whole premium described in the foregoing paragraph shall also apply, at such times and to the extent set forth therein, to any mandatory redemption of the Second Lien Notes or any acceleration of the Second Lien Notes prior to the stated maturity thereof upon the occurrence of an event of default.

The Note Purchase Agreement requires Rosehill Operating to maintain a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of the sum of all of Rosehill Operating’s Total Debt to Annualized EBITDAX (as such terms are defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) for the four fiscal quarters then ended, of not greater than 4.00 to 1.00. We were in compliance with the leverage ratio for the measurement period ended March 31, 2019.

The Note Purchase Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and other terms and provisions that are based largely on the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with a number of important modifications reflecting the second lien nature of the Second Lien Notes and certain other terms that were agreed to with the Holders. The negative covenants may limit Rosehill Operating’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness (including pursuant to senior unsecured notes), make investments, make or declare dividends or distributions, redeem its preferred equity, acquire or dispose of oil and gas properties and other assets or engage in certain other transactions without the prior consent of the Holders, subject to various exceptions, qualifications and value thresholds. Rosehill Operating is also required to meet minimum commodity hedging levels based on its expected production on an ongoing basis.

We are subject to certain limited restrictions under the Note Purchase Agreement, including (without limitation) a negative pledge with respect to our equity interests in Rosehill Operating and a contingent obligation to guarantee the Second Lien Notes upon request by the Holders in the event that we incur debt obligations. The obligations of Rosehill Operating under the Note Purchase Agreement are secured on a second-lien basis by the same collateral that secures its first-lien obligations. In connection with the Notes Purchase Agreement, Rosehill Operating granted first-lien and second-lien security interests over additional collateral to meet the minimum mortgage requirements under the Note Purchase Agreement.

Preferred Stock and Warrants

We are authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of our preferred stock, of which 150,000 have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock and 210,000 have been designated as Series B Preferred Stock. On April 27, 2017, we issued 75,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 5,000,000 warrants (exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock) in a private placement to certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors for net proceeds of $70.8 million. We issued an additional 20,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Rosemore Holdings, Inc. and KLR Sponsor in connection with the closing of the Transaction for an additional $20.0 million.

On December 8, 2017, in connection with the White Wolf Acquisition, we issued 150,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, to EIG (the “Series B Preferred Stock Purchasers”) for an aggregate purchase price of $150.0 million, less transaction costs and up-front fees of approximately $10.0 million. We had the option, subject to certain conditions, to sell from time to time up to an additional 50,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, in the aggregate, to the Series B Preferred Stock Purchasers and their transferees for a purchase price of $1,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock. We did not exercise such option, which terminated on December 8, 2018.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2019, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
 
We are exposed to market risk, including the effects of adverse changes in commodity prices and interest rates as described below. The primary objective of the following information is to provide quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in oil and natural gas prices and interest rates. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. All of our market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than speculative trading.

Commodity Price Risk

Our major market risk exposure is in the pricing that we receive for oil, natural gas and NGLs production. Pricing for oil, natural gas and NGLs has been volatile and unpredictable for several years, and we expect this volatility to occur in the future. The prices we receive for oil, natural gas, and NGLs production depend on numerous factors beyond our control.

To achieve a more predictable cash flow and reduce exposure to adverse fluctuations in commodity prices, we have historically used commodity derivative instruments, such as swaps, two-way costless collars and three-way costless collars, to hedge price risk associated with a portion of our anticipated oil and natural gas production. By removing a significant portion of the price volatility associated with our oil and natural gas production, we mitigate, but do not eliminate, the potential negative effects of declines in benchmark oil and natural gas prices on our cash flow from operations for those periods. We are obligated under our Note Purchase Agreement to hedge a specific portion of our production. See more information on our derivative activity in Item 2 of Part II, specifically the information set forth under the caption “Derivative Activity.”

Counterparty Exposure and Customer Credit Risk

Our commodity derivative contracts expose us to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. While we do not require counterparties to our commodity derivative contracts to post collateral, we do evaluate the credit standing of such counterparties as we deem appropriate. The counterparties to our commodity derivative contracts currently in place have investment grade ratings.

Our principal exposures to credit risk are through receivables resulting from joint interest receivables and receivables from the sale of our oil and natural gas production due to the concentration of our oil and natural gas receivables with several significant customers. The inability or failure of our significant customers to meet their obligations to us or their insolvency or liquidation may adversely affect our financial results. However, the credit quality of our customers is believed to be high.

Joint operations receivables arise from billings to entities that own partial interests in the wells we operate. These entities participate in our wells primarily based on their ownership in leases on which we intend to drill. We have little ability to control whether these entities will participate in our wells.

Our hedging policy permits us to enter into derivative contracts with major financial institutions or major energy entities. Our derivative contracts are currently with major financial institutions as lenders under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. We have rights of offset against the borrowings under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Interest Rate Risk

As of March 31, 2019, we had $207.0 million outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a weighted average interest rate of 5.0%. Interest under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is tiered based on amount borrowed. The interest rate is LIBO Rate plus a range of 2% to 3% depending on the outstanding balance. Assuming no change in the amount outstanding, the impact on annual interest expense of a 1% increase or decrease in the assumed weighted average interest rate would be approximately $2.1 million. We currently have no derivative arrangements to protect against fluctuations in interest rates applicable to our outstanding indebtedness. Our Second Lien Notes have a fixed interest rate of 10.0%.

During 2017, policymakers announced that LIBO Rate will be replaced by Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) by 2021. The new benchmark rate will be based on overnight Treasury General Collateral repossession rates. We will monitor the continuous emergence of SOFR, as it could adversely impact our interest rate risk, and therefore the amount of interest we pay on liabilities currently measured at LIBO Rate.

     As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. As of March 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of a material weakness identified during the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The material weakness related to the accuracy of our accounting for income taxes which led to the incorrect application of U.S. GAAP, and ineffective controls over the financial statement close and reporting processes related to income taxes.

     We are continuing to evaluate our processes around accounting for income taxes, and the number of required personnel in all key finance and accounting positions to see if additional changes or additional finance and accounting personnel are required.

     We are not required to comply with the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act while we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As a result of the error in the Company’s Interim Financial Statements, and as a result of the material weakness identified, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of March 31, 2019.
