Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesDescription of the Company
Diversified Energy Company, a Delaware corporation (“Diversified,” “DEC,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or collectively with its wholly owned
subsidiaries, the “Company”) is an independent energy company engaged in the production, transportation and marketing of natural
gas, oil and NGLs. The Company’s assets are located in the United States within the following geographical operating areas:
Appalachian Region, which spans Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama;
Central Region, which includes Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Louisiana;
Other, which includes Florida and Wyoming.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Pursuant to
such rules and regulations, certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 2025, as included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of
our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and include the accounts of our direct and indirect wholly
owned subsidiaries and entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. Intercompany accounts and balances have been
eliminated.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements and related disclosures to conform to current period
presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on previously reported total assets, total liabilities, net income or total operating
cash flows.
Segment Reporting
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company establishes operating segments based on the components of the
business that are regularly reviewed by the chief executive officer, who serves as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), for
purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. The CODM evaluates the Company’s operations in a consolidated
manner. Accordingly, the Company has one reportable segment.
The CODM uses consolidated income (loss) before income taxes for purposes of allocating resources and assessing operating
performance. The CODM is also regularly provided information on lease operating expense, transportation expense, production taxes,
and general and administrative expense, which represent significant segment expenses. Other segment items primarily consist of
depreciation, depletion and amortization, interest expense, and income tax expense (benefit). These amounts are derived from, and can
be found within, the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Segment profit or loss reconciles to consolidated income (loss) before income taxes with no reconciling items.
There have been no material changes in the Company’s reportable segment, the CODM, or the measures used to assess segment
performance since December 31, 2025. There were no material changes in segment assets from those reported in the Company’s
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company
maintains cash balances at financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not
experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash and cash
equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents cash whose withdrawal or use is limited by contractual or regulatory requirements and is not available for
general corporate purposes. Restricted cash is presented as either a current or noncurrent asset based on the expected timing of the
related obligations.
Restricted cash primarily consists of:
Amounts held as collateral for surety bonds or required by state agencies for well abandonment obligations; and
Cash reserves required for interest payments and fees related to the Company’s asset-backed securitization arrangements,
which are administered by an independent indenture trustee.
The Company’s accounting policy and the nature of its restricted cash arrangements are consistent with those described in its annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and there were no material changes during the interim period.
