Cautionary Statement for the Purpose of the “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This report and information incorporated by reference in this report include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including, but not limited to, forecasts or expectations regarding the Company’s business and statements or information concerning the Company’s future operations, performance, financial condition, production and reserves, schedules, plans, timing of development, rates of return, budgets, costs, business strategy, objectives, and cash flows, included in this report are forward-looking statements. The words “could,” “may,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “budget,” “target,” “plan,” “continue,” “potential,” “guidance,” “strategy” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words.

Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements about:

•our strategy;

•our business and financial plans;

•our future operations;

•our proved reserves and related development plans;

•technology;

•future crude oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas prices and differentials;

•the timing and amount of future production of crude oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas and flaring activities;

•the amount, nature and timing of capital expenditures;

•estimated revenues, expenses and results of operations;

•drilling and completing of wells;

•shutting in of production and the resumption of production activities;

•competition;

•marketing of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids;

•transportation of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids to markets;

•property exploitation, property acquisitions and dispositions, strategic investments, or joint development opportunities;

•costs of exploiting and developing our properties and conducting other operations, including any impacts from inflation;

•our financial position;

•the timing and amount of debt borrowings or repayments;

•the timing and amount of payments related to income taxes and payments the Company may be obligated to make pursuant to the stock redemption agreement described in Note 6. Fair Value Measurements—Stock Redemption Option.

•current and potential litigation matters;

•geopolitical events and conditions in, or affecting other, crude oil-producing and natural gas-producing nations;

•our future commodity or other hedging arrangements; and

•the ability and willingness of current or potential lenders, hedging contract counterparties, customers, and working interest owners to fulfill their obligations to us or to enter into transactions with us in the future on terms that are acceptable to us.

Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. Although the Company believes these assumptions and expectations are reasonable, they are inherently subject to numerous business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Company’s control. No assurance can be given that such expectations will be correct or achieved or that the assumptions are accurate or will not change over time. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance and results of the business and forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those risk factors and other cautionary statements described under Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors and elsewhere in this

ii

report, if any, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and other announcements we make from time to time.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which such statement is made. Additionally, new factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this report or our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company’s actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

Except as expressly stated above or otherwise required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly correct or update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances after the date of this report, or otherwise.

Continental Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Organization and Nature of Business

Nature of Business

Continental Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed in 1967 and is incorporated under the laws of the State of Oklahoma. The Company’s principal business is the exploration, development, management, and production of crude oil and natural gas and associated products with properties primarily located in four leading basins in the United States – the Bakken field of North Dakota and Montana, the Anadarko Basin of Oklahoma, the Permian Basin of Texas, and the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. Additionally, the Company pursues the acquisition and management of perpetually owned minerals located in certain of its key operating areas. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, crude oil accounted for 54% of the Company’s total production and 88% of its crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids revenues.

Voluntary Filer

The Company is privately owned by its founder, Harold G. Hamm, certain members of his family and their affiliated entities (the “Hamm Family”). As of June 30, 2024, the Hamm Family holds approximately 299.6 million shares of common stock of the Company. As a privately held company, certain of the corporate governance, disclosure, and other provisions applicable to a company with listed equity securities and reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 do not apply to us. We continue to furnish Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K with the SEC as required by our senior note indentures.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Noncontrolling interests reflected herein represent third party ownership in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries. The portions of consolidated net income and equity attributable to the noncontrolling interests are presented separately in the Company’s financial statements.

Investments in entities in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. In applying the equity method, the investments are initially recognized at cost and are subsequently adjusted for the Company's proportionate share of earnings, losses, contributions, and distributions, as applicable.

This report has been prepared pursuant to rules and regulations applicable to interim financial information. Because this is an interim period filing presented using a condensed format, it does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), although the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”), which includes a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in the 2023 Form 10-K. The Company evaluated its June 30, 2024 financial statements for subsequent events through August 5, 2024, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure and estimation of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates and assumptions impacting reported results are estimates of the Company’s crude oil and natural gas reserves, which are used to compute depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment of proved crude oil and

natural gas properties. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any other interim period or for an entire year.

Note 5. Derivative Instruments

From time to time the Company enters into derivative contracts to economically hedge against the variability in cash flows associated with future sales of production. The Company recognizes its derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. The estimated fair value is based upon various factors, as described in Note 6. Fair Value Measurements.

At June 30, 2024 the Company had outstanding derivative contracts as set forth in the tables below.

Derivative gains and losses

Cash receipts and payments in the following table reflect the gains or losses on derivative contracts which matured during the applicable period, calculated as the difference between the contract price and the market settlement price of matured contracts. The Company's derivative contracts are settled based upon reported settlement prices on commodity exchanges, with crude oil derivative settlements based on NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) pricing and natural gas derivative settlements based primarily on NYMEX Henry Hub pricing. Non-cash gains and losses below represent the change in fair value of derivative instruments which

Balance sheet offsetting of derivative assets and liabilities

The Company’s derivative contracts are recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the captions “Derivative assets,” “Derivative assets, noncurrent,” “Derivative liabilities,” and “Derivative liabilities, noncurrent” as applicable. Derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty that are subject to contractual terms which provide for net settlement are reported on a net basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table presents the gross amounts of recognized derivative assets and liabilities, as applicable, the amounts offset under netting arrangements with counterparties, and the resulting net amounts presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the periods presented, all at fair value.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements

Derivative Instruments

The Company's derivative instruments are reported at fair value on a recurring basis. In determining the fair values of swap contracts, a discounted cash flow method is used due to the unavailability of relevant comparable market data for the Company’s exact contracts. The discounted cash flow method estimates future cash flows based on quoted market prices for forward commodity prices and a risk-adjusted discount rate. The fair values of swap contracts are calculated mainly using significant observable inputs (Level 2). Calculation of the fair values of collars requires the use of an industry-standard option pricing model that considers various inputs including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. These assumptions are observable in the marketplace or can be corroborated by active markets or broker quotes and are therefore designated as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. The Company’s calculation of fair value for each of its derivative positions is compared to the counterparty valuation for reasonableness.

The following tables summarize the valuation of derivative instruments by pricing levels that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Stock Redemption Option

In conjunction with estate planning for Harold G. Hamm, in June 2024 Continental entered into a Redemption Agreement with Mr. Hamm and certain members of his family whereby, following Mr. Hamm’s passing, his estate may, but is not obligated to, elect from

10

Continental Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

time-to-time to require Continental to redeem sufficient shares to enable the estate to fund the payment of estate taxes and interest as they become due. Mr. Hamm’s potential estate tax liability is expected to be primarily based on the fair market value his estate assigns to his Continental stock at the time of passing. Mr. Hamm currently owns approximately 52% of Continental’s outstanding common stock. The future value of Continental and resulting estate tax liability are subject to numerous uncertainties and cannot be reasonably quantified at present. The agreement contemplates that Mr. Hamm’s estate will defer and pay the potential estate taxes and related interest in installments over a period of up to 14 years as permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, with the first five years being comprised of interest-only payments and the remaining nine years being comprised of principal and interest payments. Assuming the estate elects to exercise its redemption rights, Continental’s potential obligations are expected to occur over the same 14 year period in conjunction with the estate’s installment payments. The redemption agreement has no specified number of shares to be redeemed, no specified share repurchase price, no fixed duration of time, and no determinable cash flows, all of which are unknown and subject to change based on the tax laws in effect and the value of Continental to be determined after Mr. Hamm’s passing. Although the timing and amount of Continental’s potential obligations under the agreement cannot be reasonably quantified, in the second quarter of 2024 the Company recognized a $388 million liability on its balance sheet within the caption “Other noncurrent liabilities” with a corresponding charge to “Other" of "Other income (expense)” on the statements of income to reflect the intrinsic value of the redemption optionality features contained in the arrangement pursuant to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. Such value was determined using simulation models that consider various unobservable inputs and thus represents a Level 3 measurement under the ASC 820 valuation hierarchy.

Note 7. Debt

The Company's debt, net of unamortized discounts, premiums, and debt issuance costs totaling $36.6 million and $41.7 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, consists of the following.

Credit Facility

The Company has a credit facility, maturing in October 2026, with aggregate lender commitments totaling $2.255 billion. The credit facility is unsecured and has no borrowing base requirement subject to redetermination.

The Company had $600 million of outstanding borrowings on its credit facility at June 30, 2024. Credit facility borrowings bear interest at market-based interest rates plus a margin based on the terms of the borrowing and the credit ratings assigned to the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term indebtedness. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding credit facility borrowings at June 30, 2024 was 6.9%.

The Company had approximately $1.65 billion of borrowing availability on its credit facility at June 30, 2024 after considering outstanding borrowings and letters of credit. The Company incurs commitment fees based on currently assigned credit ratings of 0.20% per annum on the daily average amount of unused borrowing availability.

Continental Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The credit facility contains certain restrictive covenants, including a requirement that the Company maintain a consolidated net debt to total capitalization ratio of no greater than 0.65 to 1.00. This ratio represents the ratio of net debt (calculated as total face value of debt plus outstanding letters of credit less cash and cash equivalents) divided by the sum of net debt plus total shareholders' equity plus, to the extent resulting in a reduction of total shareholders’ equity, the amount of any non-cash impairment charges incurred, net of any tax effect, after June 30, 2014. The Company was in compliance with the credit facility covenants at June 30, 2024.

Senior Notes

In June 2024, the Company fully redeemed its outstanding $893.1 million of 2024 Notes that were scheduled to mature on June 1, 2024. The redemption price was equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. The aggregate of the principal amount and accrued interest paid upon redemption was $910.1 million.

The following table summarizes the face values, maturity dates, semi-annual interest payment dates, and optional redemption periods related to the Company’s outstanding senior note obligations at June 30, 2024.

(1)At any time prior to the indicated dates, the Company has the option to redeem all or a portion of its senior notes of the applicable series at the “make-whole” redemption amounts specified in the respective senior note indentures plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. On or after the indicated dates, the Company may redeem all or a portion of its senior notes at a redemption amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the senior notes being redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

The Company’s senior notes are not subject to any mandatory redemption or sinking fund requirements.

The indentures governing the Company’s senior notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to create liens securing certain indebtedness, enter into certain sale-leaseback transactions, or consolidate, merge or transfer certain assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2024.

The senior notes are obligations of Continental Resources, Inc. Additionally, certain of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (Banner Pipeline Company, L.L.C., CLR Asset Holdings, LLC, The Mineral Resources Company, SCS1 Holdings LLC, Continental Innovations LLC, Jagged Peak Energy LLC, and Parsley SoDe Water LLC) fully and unconditionally guarantee the senior notes on a joint and several basis. The financial information of the guarantor group is not materially different from the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company’s other subsidiaries, whose assets, equity, and results of operations attributable to the Company are not material, do not guarantee the senior notes.

Term Loan

In November 2022, the Company borrowed $750 million under a three-year term loan agreement that was scheduled to mature in November 2025. The Company repaid $100 million of the term loan during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and repaid the remaining $650 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

Transportation, gathering, and processing commitments – The Company has entered into transportation, gathering, and processing commitments to guarantee capacity on crude oil and natural gas pipelines and natural gas processing facilities. Certain of the commitments, which have varying terms extending as far as 2031, require the Company to pay per-unit transportation, gathering, or processing charges regardless of the amount of capacity used. Future commitments remaining as of June 30, 2024 under the arrangements amount to approximately $990 million, of which $213 million is expected to be incurred in the remainder of 2024, $278

million in 2025, $218 million in 2026, $203 million in 2027, $70 million in 2028, and $8 million thereafter. A portion of these future costs will be borne by other interest owners. The Company is not committed under the above contracts to deliver fixed and determinable quantities of crude oil or natural gas in the future. These commitments do not qualify as leases under ASC Topic 842 and are not recognized on the Company's balance sheet.

Litigation pertaining to 2022 take-private transaction

In April 2023, three separate putative class action lawsuits were consolidated under the caption In re Continental Resources, Inc. Shareholder Litigation, Case No. CJ-2022-4162, in the District Court of Oklahoma County, Oklahoma (the “Consolidated Action”). In the Consolidated Action, the plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and all other similarly situated former shareholders of the Company, allege that Mr. Hamm, certain trusts established for the benefit of Mr. Hamm and/or his family members, and the Company’s other directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the take-private transaction and seek: (i) monetary damages; (ii) the costs and expenses associated with the lawsuits; and (iii) other equitable relief. The defendants continue to vigorously defend themselves against these claims.

In January 2023, FourWorld Deep Value Opportunities Fund I, LLC, FourWorld Event Opportunities, LP, FW Deep Value Opportunities I, LLC, FourWorld Global Opportunities Fund, Ltd., FourWorld Special Opportunities Fund, LLC, Corbin ERISA Opportunity Fund Ltd., and Quadre Investments, L.P. (collectively, “FourWorld”), all former shareholders of the Company, filed a petition in the District Court of Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, seeking appraisal of their respective shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the take-private transaction. In April 2024, Quadre Investments, L.P. filed a voluntary dismissal with prejudice. The Company continues to vigorously defend itself against these claims.

Note 9. Long-Term Incentive Compensation

The Company has granted incentive compensation awards to employees pursuant to the Continental Resources, Inc. 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Awards granted prior to 2024 generally vest after three years of employee service. Awards granted in 2024 and thereafter generally vest annually, in one-third increments, over three years of employee service. The Company intends to settle all outstanding incentive awards vesting in the future in cash and, thus, the awards are classified as liability awards pursuant to ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation.

At June 30, 2024, the Company had recorded a current liability of $57.6 million and a non-current liability of $24.4 million in the captions “Current portion of incentive compensation liability” and “Incentive compensation liability, noncurrent,” respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets associated with the awards. Such amounts reflect the Company’s estimate of expected future cash payments multiplied by the percentage of requisite service periods that employees have completed as of June 30, 2024. The Company’s compensation expense associated with such awards totaled $20.8 million and $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $53.3 million and $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is included in the caption “General and administrative expenses” in the condensed consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2024, there was approximately $122.5 million of unrecognized liabilities and compensation expense related to unvested awards, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.

The Company’s incentive compensation liability will be remeasured each reporting period leading up to the applicable award vesting dates to reflect additional service rendered by employees and to reflect changes in expected cash payments arising from underlying changes in the value of the Company based on independent third party appraisals. Changes in the liability will be recorded as increases or decreases to compensation expense. The Company has estimated the number of forfeitures expected to occur in determining the amount of liability and expense to recognize.

Revenues

Our revenues consist of sales of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments, and revenues associated with crude oil and natural gas service operations.

Crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids sales. Sales totaled $1.90 billion for the second quarter of 2024, a 6% increase compared to sales of $1.79 billion for the second quarter of 2023 due to an increase in crude oil sales prices, partially offset by a decrease in sales volumes as discussed below.

Total sales volumes for the second quarter of 2024 decreased 702 MBoe, or 2%, compared to the second quarter of 2023 due to the previously described decrease in production volumes. For the second quarter of 2024, our crude oil sales volumes decreased 1% and our natural gas sales volumes decreased 2% compared to the second quarter of 2023.

Our crude oil sales prices averaged $80.22 per barrel in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $72.75 per barrel for the second quarter of 2023. Our natural gas sales prices averaged $1.75 per Mcf for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $1.97 per Mcf for the second quarter of 2023.

Derivatives. Changes in settled and future commodity prices during the second quarter of 2024 had a net favorable impact on the fair value of our derivatives, which resulted in positive revenue adjustments totaling $4.7 million for the period, representing $87.5 million of cash gains partially offset by $82.7 million of unsettled non-cash losses, compared to positive revenue adjustments totaling $223.1 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Production Expenses. Production expenses increased $8.3 million, or 5%, to $182.7 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $174.4 million for the second quarter of 2023 due to an increase in the number of producing wells from drilling and completion activities and higher workover-related activities aimed at enhancing production from producing properties. Production expenses on a per-Boe basis averaged $4.60 per Boe for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $4.32 per Boe for the second quarter of 2023.

Production and Ad Valorem Taxes. Production and ad valorem taxes increased $7.7 million, or 5%, to $149.4 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $141.7 million for the second quarter of 2023 due to the previously described increase in total commodity revenues. Our production taxes as a percentage of net sales averaged 8.3% for the second quarter of 2024, consistent with 8.3% for the second quarter of 2023.

Transportation, gathering, processing, and compression. These charges increased $11.0 million, or 14%, to $91.5 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $80.5 million for the second quarter of 2023 due to changes in marketing terms and arrangements utilized between periods and an increase in our working interest share of cost burdens in certain operating areas.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion. Total DD&A increased $76.4 million, or 14%, to $626.6 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $550.2 million for the second quarter of 2023 due to an increase in our DD&A rate per Boe as further discussed below. The following table shows the components of our DD&A on a unit of sales basis for the periods presented.

	Three months ended June 30,
$/Boe	2024		2023
Crude oil and natural gas	$	15.14	$	13.11
Other equipment		0.51		0.43
Asset retirement obligation accretion		0.14		0.08
Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion	$	15.79	$	13.62

Estimated proved reserves are a key component in our computation of DD&A expense. Proved reserves are determined using the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month commodity prices for the preceding twelve months as required by SEC rules. Holding all other factors constant, if proved reserves are revised downward due to commodity price declines or other reasons, the rate at which we record DD&A expense increases. Conversely, if proved reserves are revised upward, the rate at which we record DD&A expense decreases.

16

Certain of our proved reserves have been revised downward over the past year prompted by decreases in rolling twelve-month average SEC commodity prices and other factors, which contributed to an increase in our DD&A rate for crude oil and natural gas properties along with variation in the mix of sales volumes across the Company’s operating areas between periods.

Property Impairments. Total property impairments decreased $12.3 million to $10.1 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $22.4 million for the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to the recognition of $10.3 million of proved property impairments in the prior period with no proved property impairments being recognized in the current period.

General and Administrative Expenses. Total G&A expenses increased $9.5 million, or 17%, to $64.6 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $55.1 million for the second quarter of 2023.

Total G&A expenses include charges for long-term incentive compensation awards of $20.8 million and $12.7 million for the second quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. This increase was due to an increase in estimated incentive compensation payment obligations arising from new grants and an increase in the value of outstanding awards as of June 30, 2024 compared to the June 30, 2023 valuation date.

G&A expenses other than incentive compensation awards totaled $43.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, consistent with $42.4 million for the second quarter of 2023.

The following table shows the components of G&A expenses on a unit of sales basis for the periods presented.

	Three months ended June 30,
$/Boe	2024		2023
General and administrative expenses	$	1.11	$	1.05
Long-term incentive compensation awards		0.52		0.31
Total general and administrative expenses	$	1.63	$	1.36

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $33.6 million, or 32%, to $71.8 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $105.4 million for the second quarter of 2023 due to a decrease in our weighted average outstanding debt balance from $8.3 billion for the second quarter of 2023 to $6.1 billion for the second quarter of 2024. This decrease was driven by debt reduction throughout the past year, including the reduction of credit facility borrowings, the repayment of our $750 million term loan, and the redemption of our $893 million of 2024 Notes.

Other income (expense)—Other. See Note 6. Fair Value Measurements—Stock Redemption Option in Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes. For the second quarters of 2024 and 2023 we provided for income taxes at a combined federal and state tax rate of 23.5% of our pre-tax income. We recorded income tax provisions of $148.5 million and $193.4 million for the second quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively, which resulted in effective tax rates of 52.3% and 21.9%, respectively, after taking into account the application of statutory tax rates, permanent taxable differences primarily related to the stock redemption option that impacted our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 by 28.7%, estimated tax credits, and other items.

Total (MBoe)		79,383		100	%		76,935		100	%		2,448			3	%

The 7% increase in crude oil production and 1% decrease in natural gas production for year to date 2024 compared to year to date 2023 was driven by an increase in allocation of capital to oil-weighted projects in our operating areas and variation in the timing of new well completions between years.

18

Revenues

Crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids sales. Sales for year to date 2024 totaled $3.81 billion, a 6% increase compared to $3.58 billion for the comparable 2023 period driven by increases in crude oil sales prices and crude oil sales volumes as discussed below.

Total sales volumes for year to date 2024 increased 2,716 MBoe, or 4%, compared to year to date 2023 primarily due to the previously described increase in crude oil production volumes. For year to date 2024, our crude oil sales volumes increased 8% while our natural gas sales volumes decreased 1% compared to year to date 2023.

Our crude oil sales prices averaged $78.08 per barrel for year to date 2024 compared to $74.13 per barrel for year to date 2023. Our natural gas sales prices averaged $2.13 per Mcf for year to date 2024 compared to $2.84 per Mcf for year to date 2023.

Derivatives. Changes in settled and future commodity prices during the six months ended June 30, 2024 had a net unfavorable impact on the fair value of our derivatives, which resulted in negative revenue adjustments totaling $108.5 million for the period, representing $182.7 million of cash gains more than offset by $291.1 million of unsettled non-cash losses, compared to positive revenue adjustments totaling $605.9 million in the comparable 2023 period.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Production Expenses. Production expenses increased $15.0 million, or 4%, to $371.4 million for year to date 2024 compared to $356.4 million for year to date 2023 due to an increase in the number of producing wells from drilling and completion activities, costs associated with adverse winter weather conditions in the Bakken and Powder River Basin in the 2024 first quarter, and higher workover-related activities aimed at enhancing production from producing properties. Production expenses on a per-Boe basis averaged $4.67 per Boe for year to date 2024, consistent with $4.64 per Boe for year to date 2023.

Production and Ad Valorem Taxes. Production and ad valorem taxes increased $18.7 million, or 7%, to $296.5 million for year to date 2024 compared to $277.8 million for year to date 2023 due to the previously described increase in total commodity revenues. Our production taxes as a percentage of net sales averaged 8.2% for year to date 2024, consistent with 8.1% for year to date 2023.

Transportation, gathering, processing, and compression. These charges increased $41.0 million, or 26%, to $199.4 million for year to date 2024 compared to $158.4 million for year to date 2023 due to changes in marketing terms and arrangements utilized between periods and an increase in our working interest share of cost burdens in certain operating areas.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion. Total DD&A increased $232.7 million, or 23%, to $1.3 billion for year to date 2024 compared to $1.0 billion for year to date 2023 due to a 4% increase in total sales volumes, the previously described increase in our DD&A rate per Boe, and variation in the mix of sales volumes across the Company’s operating areas between periods. The following table shows the components of our DD&A on a unit of sales basis for the periods presented.

	Six months ended June 30,

Property Impairments. Total property impairments decreased $13.2 million to $22.2 million for year to date 2024 compared to $35.4 million for year to date 2023 primarily due to the recognition of $10.3 million of proved property impairments in the prior period with no proved property impairments being recognized in the current period.

General and Administrative Expenses. Total G&A expenses increased $28.5 million, or 24%, to $146.9 million for year to date 2024 compared to $118.4 million for year to date 2023.

Total G&A expenses include charges for long-term incentive compensation awards of $53.3 million and $13.6 million for the year to date periods of 2024 and 2023, respectively. This increase was due to an increase in estimated incentive compensation payment

19

obligations arising from new grants, an increase in the value of outstanding awards as of June 30, 2024 compared to the June 30, 2023 valuation date, and a greater amount of forfeiture reversals of expense during the 2023 period.

G&A expenses other than incentive compensation awards totaled $93.6 million for year to date 2024, a decrease of $11.2 million compared to $104.8 million for year to date 2023 primarily due to changes in the nature and timing of employee-related costs and benefits recognized between periods and higher overhead recoveries from joint interest owners associated with our drilling, completion, and production activities compared to the prior period.

The following table shows the components of G&A expenses on a unit of sales basis for the periods presented.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $53.5 million, or 26%, to $151.6 million for year to date 2024 compared to $205.1 million for year to date 2023 due to a decrease in our weighted average outstanding debt balance from $8.3 billion for year to date 2023 to $6.3 billion for year to date 2024. This decrease was driven by debt reduction throughout the past year, including the reduction of credit facility borrowings, the repayment of our $750 million term loan, and the redemption of our $893 million of 2024 Notes.

Other income (expense)—Other. See Note 6. Fair Value Measurements—Stock Redemption Option in Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 we provided for income taxes at a combined federal and state tax rate of 23.5% of our pre-tax income. We recorded income tax provisions of $262.6 million and $433.1 million for the year to date periods of 2024 and 2023, respectively, which resulted in effective tax rates of 31.8% and 21.5%, respectively, after taking into account the application of statutory tax rates, permanent taxable differences primarily related to the stock redemption option that impacted our effective tax rate for the year to date period of 2024 by 9.9%, estimated tax credits, and other items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been cash flows generated from operating activities, financing provided by our credit facility, and the issuance of debt securities. Additionally, asset dispositions and joint development arrangements have provided a source of cash flow for use in reducing debt and enhancing liquidity.

At July 31, 2024, we had $350 million of outstanding borrowings and $1.9 billion of borrowing availability under our credit facility. Our credit facility, which is unsecured and has no borrowing base subject to redetermination, does not mature until October 2026.

Based on our planned capital spending, our forecasted cash flows and projected levels of indebtedness, we expect to maintain compliance with the covenants under our credit facility and senior note indentures. Further, based on current market indications, we expect to meet our contractual cash commitments to third parties as of June 30, 2024, including those subsequently described under the heading Future Capital Requirements, recognizing we may be required to meet such commitments even if our business plan assumptions were to change. We monitor our capital spending closely based on actual and projected cash flows and have the ability to reduce spending or dispose of assets if needed to preserve liquidity and financial flexibility to fund our operations.

Cash Flows

Cash flows from operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $284 million, or 14%, to $2.35 billion for year to date 2024 compared to $2.07 billion for year to date 2023. The increase was primarily driven by our $230 million increase in crude oil, natural gas and NGL revenues. In addition, our cash payments for interest on outstanding debt decreased $50 million compared to the prior year to date

20

period. These improvements in operating cash flows were partially offset by previously described increases in certain cash operating expenses including a $15 million increase in production expenses, a $19 million increase in production and ad valorem taxes, a $41 million increase in transportation, gathering, processing, and compression expenses, and a $10 million increase in cash payments for income taxes.

Cash flows from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $1.02 billion for year to date 2024 compared to $2.00 billion for year to date 2023. Our investing cash flows for year to date 2024 included $1.36 billion of exploration and development costs compared to $1.72 billion for year to date 2023, reflecting variation in the timing of our capital spending between periods. For full year 2024 our capital expenditures budget attributable to us is $3.4 billion compared to $3.3 billion of non-acquisition capital spending in full year 2023. In addition, net cash used in investing activities was further decreased by lower acquisitions of producing crude oil and natural gas properties, with $1.2 million acquired for year to date 2024 compared to $143.8 million acquired for year to date 2023. Proceeds received from the sale of assets also increased by $443.2 million for year to date 2024 compared to the prior year to date period.

Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities for year to date 2024 totaled $1.25 billion, primarily consisting of $1.25 billion of net repayments of outstanding debt and $12.6 million of cash distributed to noncontrolling interests.

Net cash used in financing activities for year to date 2023 totaled $193.3 million, primarily consisting of $175 million of net repayments on outstanding debt and $19.6 million of cash distributed to noncontrolling interests.

Future Sources of Financing

Although we cannot provide any assurance, we believe funds from operating cash flows, our cash balance, and availability under our credit facility should be sufficient to meet our normal operating needs, debt service obligations, budgeted capital expenditures, and cash payments for income taxes for at least the next 12 months and to meet our contractual cash commitments to third parties described under the heading Future Capital Requirements beyond 12 months.

Based on current market indications supported by cash flow protection provided by our hedge portfolio against commodity price declines, our budgeted capital spending plans for 2024 are expected to be funded from operating cash flows. Any deficiencies in operating cash flows relative to budgeted spending are expected to be funded by borrowings under our credit facility. If cash flows are materially impacted by declines in commodity prices, we have the ability to reduce our capital expenditures or utilize the availability of our credit facility if needed to fund our operations.

We may choose to access banking or debt capital markets for additional financing or capital to fund our operations or take advantage of business opportunities that may arise. Further, we may sell assets or enter into strategic joint development opportunities in order to obtain funding if such transactions can be executed on satisfactory terms. However, no assurance can be given that such transactions will occur.

Credit facility

We have an unsecured credit facility, maturing in October 2026, with aggregate lender commitments totaling $2.255 billion. The commitments are from a syndicate of 13 banks and financial institutions. We believe each member of the current syndicate has the capability to fund its commitment.

The commitments under our credit facility are not dependent on a borrowing base calculation subject to periodic redetermination based on changes in commodity prices and proved reserves. Additionally, downgrades or other negative rating actions with respect to our credit rating do not trigger a reduction in our current credit facility commitments, nor do such actions trigger a security requirement or change in covenants.

Our credit facility contains restrictive covenants that may limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, or merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of our assets. Our credit facility

21

also contains a requirement that we maintain a consolidated net debt to total capitalization ratio of no greater than 0.65 to 1.00. See Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements–Note 7. Debt for a discussion of how this ratio is calculated pursuant to our credit agreement.

We were in compliance with our credit facility covenants at June 30, 2024 and expect to maintain compliance. At June 30, 2024, our consolidated net debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.31. We do not believe the credit facility covenants are reasonably likely to limit our ability to undertake additional debt financing if needed to support our business.

Future Capital Requirements

Our material future cash requirements are summarized below. Based on current market indications, we expect to meet our contractual cash commitments to third parties as of June 30, 2024, recognizing we may be required to meet such commitments even if our business plan assumptions were to change.

Senior notes

Our debt includes outstanding senior note obligations totaling $4.8 billion at June 30, 2024, exclusive of interest payment obligations thereon. Our senior notes are not subject to any mandatory redemption or sinking fund requirements. We have no near-term senior note maturities, with our earliest scheduled maturity being our $800 million of 2026 Notes due in November 2026. For further information on the face values, maturity dates, semi-annual interest payment dates, optional redemption periods and covenant restrictions related to our senior notes, refer to Note 7. Debt in Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We were in compliance with our senior note covenants at June 30, 2024 and expect to maintain compliance. We do not believe the senior note covenants will materially limit our ability to undertake additional debt financing. Downgrades or other negative rating actions with respect to the credit ratings assigned to our senior unsecured debt do not trigger additional senior note covenants.

Credit facility borrowings

As of July 31, 2024, we had $350 million of outstanding borrowings on our credit facility. Our credit facility matures in October 2026.

Transportation, gathering, and processing commitments

We have entered into transportation, gathering, and processing commitments to guarantee capacity on crude oil and natural gas pipelines and natural gas processing facilities that require us to pay per-unit charges regardless of the amount of capacity used. Future commitments remaining as of June 30, 2024 under the arrangements amount to approximately $990 million. See Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies in Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Capital expenditures

Our capital expenditures budget for 2024 is expected to be $3.4 billion. Costs of acquisitions and investments are not budgeted, with the exception of planned levels of spending for mineral acquisitions.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we invested $1.4 billion in our capital program, excluding $17 million of unbudgeted acquisitions and $19 million of mineral acquisitions attributable to Franco-Nevada.

Our drilling and completion activities and the actual amount and timing of our capital expenditures may differ materially from our budget as a result of, among other things, available cash flows, unbudgeted acquisitions, actual drilling and completion results, operational process improvements, the availability of drilling and completion rigs and other services and equipment, cost inflation, the availability of transportation, gathering and processing capacity, changes in commodity prices, and regulatory, technological and competitive developments. We monitor our capital spending closely based on actual and projected cash flows and may adjust our spending should commodity prices materially change from current levels. We expect to continue participating as a buyer of properties when and if we have the ability to increase our position in strategic plays at attractive terms.

22

Cash payments for income taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we made cash payments for federal and state income taxes totaling $356 million, representing payments associated with 2023 tax return filing extensions and estimated quarterly payments for 2024 federal and state income taxes based on estimates of taxable income for 2024. Significant judgment is involved in estimating future taxable income, as we are required to make assumptions about future commodity prices, projected production, development activities, capital spending, profitability, and general economic conditions, all of which are subject to material revision in future periods as better information becomes available. If commodity prices remain at current levels, we expect to continue generating significant taxable income through at least year-end 2024, which would result in us continuing to make estimated tax payments in the third and fourth quarters of 2024. Because of the significant uncertainty inherent in numerous factors utilized in projecting taxable income, we cannot predict the amount of future income tax payments with certainty.

Long-term incentive compensation awards

At December 31, 2023 we had recognized a current liability of $131 million on the condensed consolidated balance sheet associated with unvested incentive compensation awards granted to employees, which was subsequently paid in cash to employees in February 2024 upon the scheduled vesting of the awards. We granted additional incentive compensation awards in the 2024 first quarter and intend to continue granting additional awards on an annual basis that we plan to settle in cash upon vesting.

At June 30, 2024 we have recognized a current liability of $57.6 million and a non-current liability of $24.4 million associated with unvested awards granted to employees that are scheduled to vest in 2025, 2026, and 2027. Our recognized liabilities will be remeasured each reporting period leading up to the applicable award vesting dates to reflect additional services rendered by employees and to reflect changes in expected cash payments arising from underlying changes in the value of the Company based on independent third party appraisals.

Stock redemption option

See Note 6. Fair Value Measurements—Stock Redemption Option in Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Derivative Instruments

The fair value of our derivative instruments at June 30, 2024 was a net asset of $216.8 million. See Note 5. Derivative Instruments in Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our hedging activities, including a summary of derivative contracts in place as of June 30, 2024. The estimated fair value of our derivatives is highly sensitive to market price volatility and therefore subject to significant fluctuations from period to period. See Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for information on how hypothetical changes in commodity prices would impact the fair value of our derivatives as of June 30, 2024.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K.

23

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

General. We are exposed to a variety of market risks including commodity price risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk. We seek to address these risks through a program of risk management which may include the use of derivative instruments.

Commodity Price Risk. Our primary market risk exposure is in the prices we receive from sales of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and spot market prices applicable to our natural gas and natural gas liquids production. Commodity prices have been volatile and unpredictable for several years, and we expect this volatility to continue in the future. The prices we receive for production depend on many factors outside of our control, including differences between product prices at sales points and the applicable index prices. Based on our average daily production for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and excluding the effect of derivative instruments in place, our annual revenue would increase or decrease by approximately $857 million for each $10.00 per barrel change in crude oil prices at June 30, 2024 and $441 million for each $1.00 per Mcf change in natural gas prices at June 30, 2024.

To reduce price risk caused by market fluctuations in commodity prices, from time to time we economically hedge a portion of our anticipated production as part of our risk management program. In addition, we may utilize basis contracts to hedge the differential between derivative contract index prices and those of our physical pricing points. Reducing our exposure to price volatility helps secure funds to be used for our capital program and general corporate purposes. Our decision on the quantity and price at which we choose to hedge our production is based in part on our view of current and future market conditions. We may choose not to hedge future production if the price environment for certain time periods is deemed to be unfavorable. Additionally, we may choose to settle existing derivative positions prior to the expiration of their contractual maturities. While hedging, if utilized, limits the downside risk of adverse price movements, it also limits future revenues from upward price movements.

The fair value of our derivative instruments at June 30, 2024 was a net asset of $216.8 million, which is comprised of a $239.8 million net asset associated with our natural gas derivatives partially offset by a $23.0 million net liability associated with our crude oil derivatives. The following table shows how a hypothetical +/- 10% change in the underlying forward prices used to calculate the fair value of our derivatives would impact the fair value estimates as of June 30, 2024.

		Hypothetical Fair Value
In thousands	Change in Forward Price	Asset (Liability)
Crude Oil	-10%	$	107,422
Crude Oil	+10%	$	(153,471	)
Natural Gas	-10%	$	499,198
Natural Gas	+10%	$	(19,532	)

Changes in the fair value of our derivatives from the above price sensitivities would produce a corresponding change in our total revenues.

Credit Risk. We monitor our risk of loss due to non-performance by counterparties of their contractual obligations. Our principal exposure to credit risk is through the sale of our production, which we market to energy marketing companies, crude oil refining companies, and natural gas gathering and processing companies ($1.1 billion in receivables at June 30, 2024), and our joint interest and other receivables ($311 million at June 30, 2024).

We monitor our exposure to counterparties on our commodity sales primarily by reviewing credit ratings, financial statements and payment history. We extend credit terms based on our evaluation of each counterparty’s credit worthiness. We have not generally required our counterparties to provide collateral to secure commodity sales receivables owed to us. Historically, our credit losses on commodity sales receivables have been immaterial.

Joint interest receivables arise from billing the individuals and entities who own a partial interest in the wells we operate. These individuals and entities participate in our wells primarily based on their ownership in leases included in units on which we wish to drill. We can do very little to choose who participates in our wells. In order to minimize our exposure to this credit risk we generally request prepayment of drilling costs where it is allowed by contract or state law. For such prepayments, a liability is recorded and subsequently reduced as the associated work is performed. This liability was $42 million at June 30, 2024, which will be used to offset

24

future capital costs when billed. In this manner, we reduce credit risk. We may have the right to place a lien on a co-owner's interest in the well, to net production proceeds against amounts owed in order to secure payment or, if necessary, foreclose on the interest. Historically, our credit losses on joint interest receivables have been immaterial.

Interest Rate Risk. Our exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to variable-rate borrowings we have outstanding from time to time under our credit facility. Such borrowings bear interest at market-based interest rates plus a margin based on the terms of the borrowing and the credit ratings assigned to our senior, unsecured, long-term indebtedness. All of our other long-term indebtedness is fixed rate and does not expose us to the risk of cash flow loss due to changes in market interest rates.

We had $350 million of variable rate borrowings outstanding on our credit facility at July 31, 2024. The impact of a 0.25% increase in interest rates on this amount of debt would result in increased interest expense and reduced income before income taxes of approximately $0.9 million per year.

We manage our interest rate exposure by monitoring both the effects of market changes in interest rates and the proportion of our debt portfolio that is variable-rate versus fixed-rate debt. We may utilize interest rate derivatives to alter interest rate exposure in an attempt to reduce interest rate expense related to existing debt issues. Interest rate derivatives may be used solely to modify interest rate exposure and not to modify the overall leverage of the debt portfolio. We currently have no interest rate derivatives.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024 to ensure information required to be disclosed in the reports it files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Controls and Procedures

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control will provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met.

25

PART II. Other Information

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various legal proceedings including, but not limited to, commercial disputes, claims from royalty and surface owners, property damage claims, claims made by former shareholders in connection with our take-private transaction, antitrust claims related to the market price of hydrocarbons, personal injury claims, regulatory compliance matters, disputes with tax authorities and other matters. While the outcome of these legal matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect them to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2023 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this Form 10-Q, if any, and in our 2023 Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization and Nature of Business

Note 1. Organization and Nature of Business

Nature of Business

Continental Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed in 1967 and is incorporated under the laws of the State of Oklahoma. The Company’s principal business is the exploration, development, management, and production of crude oil and natural gas and associated products with properties primarily located in four leading basins in the United States – the Bakken field of North Dakota and Montana, the Anadarko Basin of Oklahoma, the Permian Basin of Texas, and the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. Additionally, the Company pursues the acquisition and management of perpetually owned minerals located in certain of its key operating areas. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, crude oil accounted for 54% of the Company’s total production and 88% of its crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids revenues.

Voluntary Filer

The Company is privately owned by its founder, Harold G. Hamm, certain members of his family and their affiliated entities (the “Hamm Family”). As of June 30, 2024, the Hamm Family holds approximately 299.6 million shares of common stock of the Company. As a privately held company, certain of the corporate governance, disclosure, and other provisions applicable to a company with listed equity securities and reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 do not apply to us. We continue to furnish Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K with the SEC as required by our senior note indentures.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Noncontrolling interests reflected herein represent third party ownership in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries. The portions of consolidated net income and equity attributable to the noncontrolling interests are presented separately in the Company’s financial statements.

Investments in entities in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. In applying the equity method, the investments are initially recognized at cost and are subsequently adjusted for the Company's proportionate share of earnings, losses, contributions, and distributions, as applicable.

This report has been prepared pursuant to rules and regulations applicable to interim financial information. Because this is an interim period filing presented using a condensed format, it does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), although the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”), which includes a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in the 2023 Form 10-K. The Company evaluated its June 30, 2024 financial statements for subsequent events through August 5, 2024, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure and estimation of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates and assumptions impacting reported results are estimates of the Company’s crude oil and natural gas reserves, which are used to compute depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment of proved crude oil and

natural gas properties. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any other interim period or for an entire year.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments

Note 5. Derivative Instruments

From time to time the Company enters into derivative contracts to economically hedge against the variability in cash flows associated with future sales of production. The Company recognizes its derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. The estimated fair value is based upon various factors, as described in Note 6. Fair Value Measurements.

At June 30, 2024 the Company had outstanding derivative contracts as set forth in the tables below.

Derivative gains and losses

Cash receipts and payments in the following table reflect the gains or losses on derivative contracts which matured during the applicable period, calculated as the difference between the contract price and the market settlement price of matured contracts. The Company's derivative contracts are settled based upon reported settlement prices on commodity exchanges, with crude oil derivative settlements based on NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) pricing and natural gas derivative settlements based primarily on NYMEX Henry Hub pricing. Non-cash gains and losses below represent the change in fair value of derivative instruments which

continued to be held at period end and the reversal of previously recognized non-cash gains or losses on derivative contracts that matured during the period.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements

Derivative Instruments

The Company's derivative instruments are reported at fair value on a recurring basis. In determining the fair values of swap contracts, a discounted cash flow method is used due to the unavailability of relevant comparable market data for the Company’s exact contracts. The discounted cash flow method estimates future cash flows based on quoted market prices for forward commodity prices and a risk-adjusted discount rate. The fair values of swap contracts are calculated mainly using significant observable inputs (Level 2). Calculation of the fair values of collars requires the use of an industry-standard option pricing model that considers various inputs including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. These assumptions are observable in the marketplace or can be corroborated by active markets or broker quotes and are therefore designated as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. The Company’s calculation of fair value for each of its derivative positions is compared to the counterparty valuation for reasonableness.

Stock Redemption Option

In conjunction with estate planning for Harold G. Hamm, in June 2024 Continental entered into a Redemption Agreement with Mr. Hamm and certain members of his family whereby, following Mr. Hamm’s passing, his estate may, but is not obligated to, elect from

time-to-time to require Continental to redeem sufficient shares to enable the estate to fund the payment of estate taxes and interest as they become due. Mr. Hamm’s potential estate tax liability is expected to be primarily based on the fair market value his estate assigns to his Continental stock at the time of passing. Mr. Hamm currently owns approximately 52% of Continental’s outstanding common stock. The future value of Continental and resulting estate tax liability are subject to numerous uncertainties and cannot be reasonably quantified at present. The agreement contemplates that Mr. Hamm’s estate will defer and pay the potential estate taxes and related interest in installments over a period of up to 14 years as permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, with the first five years being comprised of interest-only payments and the remaining nine years being comprised of principal and interest payments. Assuming the estate elects to exercise its redemption rights, Continental’s potential obligations are expected to occur over the same 14 year period in conjunction with the estate’s installment payments. The redemption agreement has no specified number of shares to be redeemed, no specified share repurchase price, no fixed duration of time, and no determinable cash flows, all of which are unknown and subject to change based on the tax laws in effect and the value of Continental to be determined after Mr. Hamm’s passing. Although the timing and amount of Continental’s potential obligations under the agreement cannot be reasonably quantified, in the second quarter of 2024 the Company recognized a $388 million liability on its balance sheet within the caption “Other noncurrent liabilities” with a corresponding charge to “Other" of "Other income (expense)” on the statements of income to reflect the intrinsic value of the redemption optionality features contained in the arrangement pursuant to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. Such value was determined using simulation models that consider various unobservable inputs and thus represents a Level 3 measurement under the ASC 820 valuation hierarchy.

Credit Facility

The Company has a credit facility, maturing in October 2026, with aggregate lender commitments totaling $2.255 billion. The credit facility is unsecured and has no borrowing base requirement subject to redetermination.

The Company had $600 million of outstanding borrowings on its credit facility at June 30, 2024. Credit facility borrowings bear interest at market-based interest rates plus a margin based on the terms of the borrowing and the credit ratings assigned to the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term indebtedness. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding credit facility borrowings at June 30, 2024 was 6.9%.

The Company had approximately $1.65 billion of borrowing availability on its credit facility at June 30, 2024 after considering outstanding borrowings and letters of credit. The Company incurs commitment fees based on currently assigned credit ratings of 0.20% per annum on the daily average amount of unused borrowing availability.

The credit facility contains certain restrictive covenants, including a requirement that the Company maintain a consolidated net debt to total capitalization ratio of no greater than 0.65 to 1.00. This ratio represents the ratio of net debt (calculated as total face value of debt plus outstanding letters of credit less cash and cash equivalents) divided by the sum of net debt plus total shareholders' equity plus, to the extent resulting in a reduction of total shareholders’ equity, the amount of any non-cash impairment charges incurred, net of any tax effect, after June 30, 2014. The Company was in compliance with the credit facility covenants at June 30, 2024.

Senior Notes

In June 2024, the Company fully redeemed its outstanding $893.1 million of 2024 Notes that were scheduled to mature on June 1, 2024. The redemption price was equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. The aggregate of the principal amount and accrued interest paid upon redemption was $910.1 million.

The following table summarizes the face values, maturity dates, semi-annual interest payment dates, and optional redemption periods related to the Company’s outstanding senior note obligations at June 30, 2024.

(1)At any time prior to the indicated dates, the Company has the option to redeem all or a portion of its senior notes of the applicable series at the “make-whole” redemption amounts specified in the respective senior note indentures plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. On or after the indicated dates, the Company may redeem all or a portion of its senior notes at a redemption amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the senior notes being redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

The Company’s senior notes are not subject to any mandatory redemption or sinking fund requirements.

The indentures governing the Company’s senior notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to create liens securing certain indebtedness, enter into certain sale-leaseback transactions, or consolidate, merge or transfer certain assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2024.

The senior notes are obligations of Continental Resources, Inc. Additionally, certain of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (Banner Pipeline Company, L.L.C., CLR Asset Holdings, LLC, The Mineral Resources Company, SCS1 Holdings LLC, Continental Innovations LLC, Jagged Peak Energy LLC, and Parsley SoDe Water LLC) fully and unconditionally guarantee the senior notes on a joint and several basis. The financial information of the guarantor group is not materially different from the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company’s other subsidiaries, whose assets, equity, and results of operations attributable to the Company are not material, do not guarantee the senior notes.

Term Loan

In November 2022, the Company borrowed $750 million under a three-year term loan agreement that was scheduled to mature in November 2025. The Company repaid $100 million of the term loan during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and repaid the remaining $650 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Transportation, gathering, and processing commitments – The Company has entered into transportation, gathering, and processing commitments to guarantee capacity on crude oil and natural gas pipelines and natural gas processing facilities. Certain of the commitments, which have varying terms extending as far as 2031, require the Company to pay per-unit transportation, gathering, or processing charges regardless of the amount of capacity used. Future commitments remaining as of June 30, 2024 under the arrangements amount to approximately $990 million, of which $213 million is expected to be incurred in the remainder of 2024, $278

million in 2025, $218 million in 2026, $203 million in 2027, $70 million in 2028, and $8 million thereafter. A portion of these future costs will be borne by other interest owners. The Company is not committed under the above contracts to deliver fixed and determinable quantities of crude oil or natural gas in the future. These commitments do not qualify as leases under ASC Topic 842 and are not recognized on the Company's balance sheet.

Litigation pertaining to 2022 take-private transaction

In April 2023, three separate putative class action lawsuits were consolidated under the caption In re Continental Resources, Inc. Shareholder Litigation, Case No. CJ-2022-4162, in the District Court of Oklahoma County, Oklahoma (the “Consolidated Action”). In the Consolidated Action, the plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and all other similarly situated former shareholders of the Company, allege that Mr. Hamm, certain trusts established for the benefit of Mr. Hamm and/or his family members, and the Company’s other directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the take-private transaction and seek: (i) monetary damages; (ii) the costs and expenses associated with the lawsuits; and (iii) other equitable relief. The defendants continue to vigorously defend themselves against these claims.

In January 2023, FourWorld Deep Value Opportunities Fund I, LLC, FourWorld Event Opportunities, LP, FW Deep Value Opportunities I, LLC, FourWorld Global Opportunities Fund, Ltd., FourWorld Special Opportunities Fund, LLC, Corbin ERISA Opportunity Fund Ltd., and Quadre Investments, L.P. (collectively, “FourWorld”), all former shareholders of the Company, filed a petition in the District Court of Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, seeking appraisal of their respective shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the take-private transaction. In April 2024, Quadre Investments, L.P. filed a voluntary dismissal with prejudice. The Company continues to vigorously defend itself against these claims.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

Note 9. Long-Term Incentive Compensation

The Company has granted incentive compensation awards to employees pursuant to the Continental Resources, Inc. 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Awards granted prior to 2024 generally vest after three years of employee service. Awards granted in 2024 and thereafter generally vest annually, in one-third increments, over three years of employee service. The Company intends to settle all outstanding incentive awards vesting in the future in cash and, thus, the awards are classified as liability awards pursuant to ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation.

At June 30, 2024, the Company had recorded a current liability of $57.6 million and a non-current liability of $24.4 million in the captions “Current portion of incentive compensation liability” and “Incentive compensation liability, noncurrent,” respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets associated with the awards. Such amounts reflect the Company’s estimate of expected future cash payments multiplied by the percentage of requisite service periods that employees have completed as of June 30, 2024. The Company’s compensation expense associated with such awards totaled $20.8 million and $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $53.3 million and $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is included in the caption “General and administrative expenses” in the condensed consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2024, there was approximately $122.5 million of unrecognized liabilities and compensation expense related to unvested awards, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.

The Company’s incentive compensation liability will be remeasured each reporting period leading up to the applicable award vesting dates to reflect additional service rendered by employees and to reflect changes in expected cash payments arising from underlying changes in the value of the Company based on independent third party appraisals. Changes in the liability will be recorded as increases or decreases to compensation expense. The Company has estimated the number of forfeitures expected to occur in determining the amount of liability and expense to recognize.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Description of the Company

Nature of Business

Continental Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed in 1967 and is incorporated under the laws of the State of Oklahoma. The Company’s principal business is the exploration, development, management, and production of crude oil and natural gas and associated products with properties primarily located in four leading basins in the United States – the Bakken field of North Dakota and Montana, the Anadarko Basin of Oklahoma, the Permian Basin of Texas, and the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. Additionally, the Company pursues the acquisition and management of perpetually owned minerals located in certain of its key operating areas. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, crude oil accounted for 54% of the Company’s total production and 88% of its crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids revenues.

Voluntary Filer

Voluntary Filer

The Company is privately owned by its founder, Harold G. Hamm, certain members of his family and their affiliated entities (the “Hamm Family”). As of June 30, 2024, the Hamm Family holds approximately 299.6 million shares of common stock of the Company. As a privately held company, certain of the corporate governance, disclosure, and other provisions applicable to a company with listed equity securities and reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 do not apply to us. We continue to furnish Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K with the SEC as required by our senior note indentures.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Noncontrolling interests reflected herein represent third party ownership in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries. The portions of consolidated net income and equity attributable to the noncontrolling interests are presented separately in the Company’s financial statements.

Investments in entities in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. In applying the equity method, the investments are initially recognized at cost and are subsequently adjusted for the Company's proportionate share of earnings, losses, contributions, and distributions, as applicable.

This report has been prepared pursuant to rules and regulations applicable to interim financial information. Because this is an interim period filing presented using a condensed format, it does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), although the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”), which includes a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in the 2023 Form 10-K. The Company evaluated its June 30, 2024 financial statements for subsequent events through August 5, 2024, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure and estimation of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates and assumptions impacting reported results are estimates of the Company’s crude oil and natural gas reserves, which are used to compute depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment of proved crude oil and

natural gas properties. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any other interim period or for an entire year.
