Exhibit 99.2

Viper Energy, Inc.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

Sitio Transaction

On August 19, 2025, VNOM Sub, Inc. (f/k/a Viper Energy, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Viper”), Viper Energy Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Viper OpCo”), Viper Energy, Inc. (f/k/a New Cobra Pubco, Inc.), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Viper (“New Viper”) Cobra Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of New Viper, Scorpion Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of New Viper, Sitio Royalties Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Sitio”), and Sitio Royalties Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and a subsidiary of Sitio, (“Sitio OpCo”), completed a series of transactions pursuant to which New Viper acquired Sitio and Sitio OpCo (the “Sitio Transaction”) in an all-equity transaction including the retirement of Sitio’s debt, which totaled $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2025. As a result of the Sitio Transaction, Viper and Sitio became direct wholly owned subsidiaries of New Viper, which was renamed “Viper Energy, Inc.” upon completion of the Sitio Transaction. Additionally, upon completion of the Sitio Transaction, former Viper stockholders and former Sitio stockholders own equity interests in New Viper, whose Class A common stock, par value $0.000001 per share (“New Viper Class A Common Stock”), is listed for trading on the Nasdaq. For pro forma purposes, the term “Viper” may be used in reference to both historical Viper Energy, Inc. prior to the consummation of the Sitio Transaction and New Viper following the consummation of the Sitio Transaction as the context requires.

Consideration for the Sitio Transaction for Sitio equityholders consisted of the right to receive 0.4855 shares of New Viper Class A Common Stock, for each share of Sitio Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Sitio Class A Common Stock”), and 0.4855 units representing limited liability company interests in Viper OpCo (“Viper OpCo Units”), along with a corresponding amount of Class B common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, of New Viper (“New Viper Class B Common Stock” and together with the New Viper Class A Common Stock, “New Viper Common Stock”), for each unit representing limited partnership interests of Sitio OpCo (each, a “Sitio OpCo Unit”), subject to certain exclusions. Each share of Sitio Class C common stock was automatically cancelled in the transaction for no consideration and ceased to exist upon closing of the Sitio Transaction.

The mineral and royalty interests owned by Sitio and acquired in the Sitio Transaction represent approximately 25,300 net royalty acres in the Permian Basin, plus an additional ~9,000 net royalty acres in other major basins (DJ, Eagle Ford, Williston) for total acreage of approximately 34,300 net royalty acres. On a pro forma basis, New Viper owns approximately 85,700 net royalty acres in the Permian Basin, approximately 43% of which are operated by Diamondback Energy, Inc. (“Diamondback”), and an average 1.8% net royalty interest in approximately 33,300 gross producing horizontal wells (~608 net wells) with estimated Q4 2025 average production of 64 – 68 MBO/d (122 – 130 MBOE/d).

For pro forma purposes, the repayment of Sitio’s outstanding debt at June 30, 2025 was assumed to be funded partially with the proceeds of Viper OpCo’s July 2025 underwritten public offering of $1.6 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior notes consisting of (i) $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.900% Senior Notes due August 1, 2030 (the “2030 Notes”), and (ii) $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.700% Senior Notes due August 1, 2035 (the “2035 Notes” and together with the 2030 Notes, the “New Notes”), as well as proceeds from a $500 million, two-year senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility between Viper OpCo as borrower, Viper as guarantor, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA as administrative agent, (the “2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement”).

In addition to funding the repayment of Sitio’s outstanding debt, proceeds from the New Notes were also used to (i) redeem all of Viper’s 7.375% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) at a redemption price of 106.872% of the principal amount of the 2031 Notes and including any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including the redemption date, and (ii) satisfy and discharge Viper’s $380 million 5.375% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes, including any accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date, which is set as November 1, 2025.

The Sitio Transaction was unanimously approved by the board of directors of each of Viper and Sitio, approved by the written consent of Diamondback (and certain of its subsidiaries) as Viper’s majority stockholders, and approved by a majority of Sitio’s stockholders at the Sitio special meeting of stockholders held on August 18, 2025.

The Sitio Transaction will be accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, with Viper as the accounting acquirer. As such, for pro forma purposes, the fair value of the consideration paid by Viper for the Sitio Transaction and the allocation of that amount to the underlying assets acquired was recorded on a relative fair value basis. Additionally, transaction costs directly related to the Sitio Transaction were capitalized as a component of the purchase price.

Recently Completed Significant Acquisitions

2025 Drop Down

As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 5, 2025, Viper and Viper OpCo, as buyer parties, on May 1, 2025 (the “2025 Drop Down Closing Date”) acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in 1979 Royalties LP and 1979 Royalties GP, LLC (collectively, the “Endeavor Subsidiaries”) from Endeavor Energy Resources, LP (the “Endeavor Seller”), each of which is a subsidiary of Viper’s parent, Diamondback, pursuant to a definitive equity purchase agreement for consideration consisting of (i) $1.0 billion in cash, and (ii) the issuance of 69,626,640 Viper OpCo Units and an equivalent number of shares of Viper’s Class B common stock, par value $0.000001 per share (“Viper Class B Common Stock”) (collectively, the “Endeavor Equity Issuance”), in each case subject to customary post-closing adjustments including, among other things, for net title benefits (such transaction, the “2025 Drop Down”).

The Viper OpCo Units and Viper Class B Common Stock included in the Endeavor Equity Issuance, as well as the Viper OpCo Units and Viper Class B Common Stock otherwise beneficially owned by Diamondback, were exchangeable from time to time for shares of Viper’s Class A common stock, par value $0.000001 per share (“Viper Class A Common Stock”) (that is, one Viper OpCo Unit and one share of Viper Class B Common Stock, together, were exchangeable for one share of Viper Class A Common Stock). As a result of the Sitio Transaction, the Viper Class B Common Stock was converted into New Viper Class B Common Stock and, together with an equal number of Viper OpCo Units, is now exchangeable for shares of New Viper Class A Common Stock. The mineral and royalty interests owned by the Endeavor Subsidiaries and acquired in the 2025 Drop Down represent approximately 24,446 net royalty acres in the Permian Basin, approximately 69% of which are operated by Diamondback, and have an average net royalty interest of approximately 2.2% and oil production of approximately 17,097 BO/d (the “Endeavor Mineral and Royalty Interests”). Viper funded the $1.0 billion cash portion of the consideration for the 2025 Drop Down with a portion of the proceeds from its public equity offering completed on February 3, 2025 (the “2025 Equity Offering”) of 28,336,000 shares of Viper Class A Common Stock and borrowings on Viper OpCo’s revolving credit facility.

The 2025 Drop Down is accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control with the Endeavor Mineral and Royalty Interests recorded at the Endeavor Seller’s historical carrying value in Viper’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025. As a common control transaction, transaction costs directly related to the 2025 Drop Down were expensed as incurred.

Tumbleweed Acquisitions

As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 2, 2024, Viper and Viper OpCo completed the acquisition, on October 1, 2024 (the “TWR Closing Date”), of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Tumbleweed Royalty IV, LLC and TWR IV SellCo LLC (collectively, “TWR”) pursuant to a definitive purchase and sale agreement (the “TWR Acquisition”). The mineral and royalty interests acquired in the TWR Acquisition represent approximately 3,067 net royalty acres in the Permian Basin. Consideration for the TWR Acquisition consisted of (i) cash consideration of approximately $464 million, including transaction costs and certain customary post-closing adjustments, (ii) 10,093,670 Viper OpCo Units and an option to acquire an equal number of shares of Viper Class B Common Stock, and (iii) contingent cash consideration of up to $41 million payable in January of 2026, based on the average price of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) sweet crude oil prompt month futures contracts for the calendar year 2025 (the “WTI 2025 Average”). The cash consideration was funded through a combination of cash on hand, borrowings under Viper OpCo’s revolving credit facility and proceeds from a public offering of Viper Class A Common Stock in September 2024.

On September 3, 2024 (the “Q&M Closing Date”), Viper and Viper OpCo completed the related acquisitions of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in (i) Tumbleweed-Q Royalties, LLC (“Tumbleweed Q”) from Tumbleweed-Q Royalty Partners, LLC (the “Q Acquisition”), and (ii) MC TWR Royalties, LP and MC TWR Intermediate, LLC (collectively, “Tumbleweed M”) from MC Tumbleweed Royalty, LLC (the “M Acquisition”), pursuant to definitive purchase and sale agreements (collectively, the “Q&M Acquisitions”).

The mineral and royalty interests acquired in the Q Acquisition represent approximately 406 net royalty acres in the Permian Basin. Consideration for the Q Acquisition consisted of (i) $114 million in cash, including transaction costs and certain customary post-closing adjustments, and (ii) contingent cash consideration of up to $5 million payable in January of 2026, based on the WTI 2025 Average.

The mineral and royalty interests acquired in the M Acquisition represent approximately 267 net royalty acres in the Permian Basin. Consideration for the M Acquisition consisted of (i) $76 million in cash, including transaction costs and certain customary post-closing adjustments, and (ii) contingent cash consideration of up to $4 million payable in January of 2026, based on the WTI 2025 Average.

The TWR Acquisition, Q Acquisition and M Acquisition, which are considered related businesses, (collectively, the “Tumbleweed Acquisitions”) were accounted for as asset acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805. As such, for pro forma purposes, the fair value of the consideration paid by Viper for each of the Tumbleweed Acquisitions and the allocation of that amount to the underlying assets acquired was recorded on a relative fair value basis. Additionally, transaction costs directly related to the Tumbleweed Acquisitions were capitalized as a component of the purchase price.

Pro Forma Financial Statement Presentation

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (the “pro forma financial statements”) are based on Viper’s historical consolidated financial statements, adjusted to give effect to transaction adjustments for (i) the assets and liabilities acquired in the Sitio Transaction, (ii) the issuance of the New Notes and the 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement to fund the repayment of Sitio’s outstanding debt as of June 30, 2025, (iii) the impacts of the previously completed 2025 Drop Down and 2025 Equity Offering not reflected in Viper’s historical consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the six months ended June 30, 2025, (iv) the impacts of the previously completed Tumbleweed Acquisitions not reflected in Viper’s historical consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The following pro forma financial statements present (i) Viper’s unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 (the “pro forma balance sheet”), (ii) Viper’s unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, and (iii) Viper’s unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

The pro forma balance sheet assumes that the Sitio Transaction, issuance of the New Notes and full borrowing of the 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement each occurred on June 30, 2025.

The pro forma statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the six months ended June 30, 2025 give pro forma effect to (i) the Sitio Transaction, (ii) the issuance of the New Notes, (iii) borrowings under the 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement, (iv) the 2025 Drop Down and related 2025 Equity Offering, and (v) the Tumbleweed Acquisitions through their respective closing dates, as if all such transactions had occurred on January 1, 2024, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The pro forma adjustments related to the Sitio Transaction, the New Notes, the 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement, the 2025 Drop Down, the 2025 Equity Offering and the Tumbleweed Acquisitions are based on available information and certain assumptions that management believes are factually supportable, as further described below in Note 3—Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the pro forma financial statements have been made.

These pro forma financial statements are for informational purposes only and do not purport to represent what Viper’s financial position and results of operations would have been had the Sitio Transaction, the New Notes, the 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement, the 2025 Drop Down, the 2025 Equity Offering and the Tumbleweed Acquisitions occurred on the dates indicated. The pro forma financial statements do not reflect the benefits of potential cost savings or the costs that may be necessary to achieve such savings, and, accordingly, do not attempt to predict or suggest future results. As such, these pro forma financial statements should not be used to project Viper or New Viper’s financial performance for any future period. A number of factors may affect the results.

The pro forma financial statements have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with:

 

  a.

the separate historical consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto in Viper’s and New Viper’s filings with the SEC;

 

  b.

the separate historical consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto in Sitio’s filings with the SEC;

 

  c.

  d.

the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Tumbleweed-Q Royalty Partners, LLC as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of MC Tumbleweed Royalty, LLC as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which unaudited financial statements are included as Exhibits 99.5 and 99.6, respectively to Viper’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on September 11, 2024;

 

  e.

the audited statements of revenues and direct operating expenses and related notes for the Endeavor Mineral and Royalty Interests for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, which were included in Viper’s Definitive Proxy Statement Relating to Merger or Acquisition on Form DEFM14A filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025; and

 

  f.

the unaudited consolidated financial statements of revenues and direct operating expenses and related notes for the Endeavor Mineral and Royalty Interests for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which unaudited financial statements are included as Exhibit 99.4 to Viper’s Current Report on Form 8-K containing this exhibit.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying pro forma financial statements were prepared based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Viper, Sitio, TWR, Tumbleweed Q, Tumbleweed M (together with TWR and Tumbleweed Q, the “Tumbleweed Entities”), and the historical statements of revenues and direct operating expenses of the Endeavor Mineral and Royalty Interests. Pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect certain transaction accounting adjustments, as discussed further in Notes 2 and 3.

The pro forma balance sheet gives effect to the Sitio Transaction as if it had been completed on June 30, 2025.

The pro forma statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the six months ended June 30, 2025 give pro forma effect to (i) the Q&M Acquisitions through the Q&M Closing Date, (ii) the TWR Acquisition through the TWR Closing Date, (iii) the 2025 Drop Down through the 2025 Drop Down Closing Date, (iv) the 2025 Equity Offering, (v) the Sitio Transaction, and (vi) the issuance of the New Notes and 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement as if each such transaction had occurred on January 1, 2024, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The Tumbleweed Acquisitions and the Sitio Transaction are accounted for as acquisitions of assets under ASC 805. Viper or New Viper, as applicable, therefore recognized the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Tumbleweed Acquisitions and the Sitio Transaction based on their costs to Viper or New Viper, as applicable, which includes the total consideration paid as well as capitalization of all transaction costs incurred.

The 2025 Drop Down is accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control with the acquired properties recorded at the Endeavor Seller’s historical carrying value in the pro forma consolidated balance sheet. All transaction costs related to the 2025 Drop Down were expensed as incurred.

In the opinion of management, all material adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly, in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, the pro forma financial statements. The pro forma financial statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of what Viper’s actual results of operations and financial position would have been on a consolidated basis if the Tumbleweed Acquisitions, the 2025 Drop Down, the 2025 Equity Offering, the Sitio Transaction, the issuance of the New Notes and the 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement had occurred on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future results of operations or financial position.

The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma statements of operations are based on the weighted average number of shares of Viper Class A Common Stock outstanding, assuming the Tumbleweed Acquisitions and related equity offering, the 2025 Drop Down, the 2025 Equity Offering, and the Sitio Transaction occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

 

2.

CONSIDERATION AND PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION

Viper has performed a preliminary analysis of the total consideration paid for the assets and liabilities acquired in the Sitio Transaction, including all estimated associated transaction costs, and has allocated the total consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Due to the fact that the pro forma financial statements have been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final purchase price allocation and the resulting effect on Viper’s financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts included herein.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price for the Sitio Transaction as of June 30, 2025, and the allocation of the total consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions except shares, Viper OpCo Units and per share and per unit amounts, respectively):

Cash transferred at close primarily represents (i) $628 million for the redemption of Sitio’s $600 million existing senior notes due 2028 at a current make whole redemption price of 104.59654% of par value, (ii) the repayment of approximately $488 million in outstanding borrowing to settle Sitio’s revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2025, (iii) $17 million for the payment of income taxes due on vested and converted Sitio long-term incentive plan awards in lieu of issuing additional equity and (iv) the payment of $10 million in accrued and unpaid interest on Sitio’s existing senior notes due 2028 and revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2025.

The total consideration for the Sitio Transaction has been used to prepare the transaction accounting adjustments for the Sitio Transaction in the pro forma balance sheet and statements of operations. The total value of consideration is subject to change based on changes in the outstanding value of Sitio’s revolving credit facility and actual transaction costs incurred.

Estimates of reserves as of December 31, 2024 were prepared using the unweighted arithmetic average of hydrocarbon prices received on a field-by-field basis on the first day of each month within the 12-month period ended December 31, 2024, in accordance with SEC guidelines. Reserve estimates do not include any value for probable or possible reserves that may exist, nor do they include any value for undeveloped acreage. The reserve estimates represent Viper’s net revenue interest in the subject properties. Although Viper’s management believes these estimates are reasonable, actual future production, cash flows, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves may vary substantially from these estimates. MBOE equivalents are calculated using a conversion rate of six MMcf per one MBbl for natural gas.

Standardized Measure

The following table presents the pro forma condensed combined standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows attributable to the proved oil and natural gas reserves of Viper, the 2025 Drop Down and the Sitio Transaction as of December 31, 2024. The pro forma condensed combined standardized measure shown below represents estimates only and has not been adjusted for projected combined income tax rates and does not reflect the market value of the reserves attributable to the acquired mineral and royalty interests.
