NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
General
Amplify Energy Corp. (“Amplify Energy,” “Amplify,” “it” or the “Company”) is a publicly traded Delaware corporation whose common stock, par value $ 0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “AMPY.”
The Company operates in one reportable segment that is engaged in the acquisition, development, exploitation and production of oil and natural gas properties. The Company’s management evaluates performance based on one reportable business segment as there are not different economic environments within the operation of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties.
The Company’s assets have historically consisted primarily of producing oil and natural gas properties located in Oklahoma, the Rockies (“Bairoil”), federal waters offshore Southern California (“Beta”), East Texas/North Louisiana and the Eagle Ford (non-op). The Company’s oil and natural gas properties were located in large, mature oil and natural gas reservoirs. The Company’s properties historically consisted primarily of operated and non-operated working interests in producing and undeveloped leasehold acreage and working interests in identified producing wells. The Company divested its assets in Oklahoma, East Texas/North Louisiana and the Eagle Ford (non-op) during the year ended December 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s properties consist of its Bairoil and Beta oil and NGL producing properties. The oil properties are located in mature oil reservoirs. As of March 31, 2026, the Company is the operator of record for properties containing 100 % of its total estimated proved reserves.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the Company’s opinion, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for fair presentation. Material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The results reported in these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. Furthermore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements included in its 2025 Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, oil and natural gas reserves, fair value estimates, revenue recognition, and contingencies and insurance accounting.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Segments
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses for which separate operational financial information is available and is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has been determined to be the Company’s CODM and as such, he allocates resources and assesses performance based upon consolidated financial information. See additional information in Note 15.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s annual financial statements included in its 2025 Form 10-K.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Income Statement –Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which requires disaggregated disclosures of income statement expenses for public business entities. The guidance will require companies to disclose disaggregated information about specific natural expense categories underlying certain income statement expense line items that are considered relevant because they include one or more of the five natural expense categories, as applicable: (1) purchase of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization and (5) depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) recognized as part of oil and gas producing activities or other depletion expenses. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial disclosures. Adoption of the update is not expected to impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 3. Revenue
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Revenue is recognized when the following five steps are completed: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligation (promise) in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when the reporting organization satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company has determined that its contracts for the sale of crude oil, unprocessed natural gas, residue gas and NGLs contain monthly performance obligations to deliver product at locations specified in the contract. Control is transferred at the delivery location, at which point the performance obligation has been satisfied and revenue is recognized. Fees included in the contract that are incurred prior to control transfer are classified as gathering, processing and transportation and fees incurred after control transfers are included as a reduction to the transaction price. The transaction price at which revenue is recognized consists entirely of variable consideration based on quoted market prices less various fees and the quantity of volumes delivered.

Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company historically identified three material revenue streams in its business: oil, natural gas and NGLs. Starting in 2026, the Company identified one material revenue stream in its business: oil. The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by revenue stream.

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 included post-divestiture accrual true-ups related to the Company’s East Texas and Oklahoma assets divestitures that were completed during the fourth quarter of 2025, which negatively impacted revenues for the period. The Company did not have any revenue sales related to natural gas and NGLs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and therefore the revenues for the period are not indicative of ongoing commodity sales from retained assets.
Contract Balances
Under the Company’s sales contracts, the Company invoices customers once its performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, the Company’s contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities. Accounts receivable attributable to the Company’s revenue contracts with customers were $ 9.0 million at March 31, 2026, $ 23.0 million at December 31, 2025 and $ 28.5 million at December 31, 2024.
Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations
For the Company’s contracts that have a contract term greater than one year , the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606, which states that a company is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under the Company’s contracts, each unit of product delivered to the customer represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required. For the Company’s contracts that have a contract term of one year or less, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606, which states that a company is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.
Note 4. Acquisitions and Divestitures
2026 Acquisitions and Divestitures
No acquisition or divestiture activity occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
2025 Divestitures
As discussed in Note 1 above, the Company completed several divestiture transactions during 2025. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company completed an East Texas Haynesville monetization transaction for total net proceeds of $ 6.3 million, as further described below. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the Company completed additional divestiture transactions, including another East Texas Haynesville monetization in May 2025 and the disposition of other assets later in the year. The dispositions did not qualify as discontinued operations.

Table of Contents
AMPLIFY ENERGY CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As a result of the divestitures, as of March 31, 2026, the Company no longer held any assets in the East Texas/North Louisiana, Oklahoma, or Eagle Ford (non-op) areas.
East Texas Haynesville Monetization
On January 15, 2025, the Company sold 90 % of its interest in certain units with rights in the Cotton Valley and Haynesville basins in Harrison County, Texas and purchased a 10 % interest in adjacent acreage, generating $ 6.3 million in net proceeds from the transactions. These transactions also established an area of mutual interest with the counterparty covering 10,000 gross acres. Amplify retained a 10 % working interest in the units it divested and purchased a 10 % working interest in the counterparty’s acreage. The net proceeds received from the purchase and sale transactions of $ 6.3 million is classified as a (gain) loss on sale of properties in our Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company sold its remaining 10 % interest in those units with rights in the Cotton Valley and Haynesville basins during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Contemplated Merger with Juniper Capital
On January 14, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as subsequently amended (the “Merger Agreement”) with Amplify DJ Operating LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Merger Sub”), Amplify PRB Operating LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Amplify (“Second Merger Sub”), North Peak Oil & Gas, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“NPOG”), Century Oil and Gas Sub-Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“COG” and, together with NPOG, the “Acquired Companies”), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth in the Merger Agreement, Juniper Capital Advisors, L.P. (“Juniper Capital”) and the Specified Company Entities set forth on Annex A thereto, pursuant to which, at the effective time of the Contemplated Mergers (as defined below) (the “Effective Time”), it was contemplated that (i) NPOG would merge with and into First Merger Sub, with NPOG surviving the merger as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and (ii) COG would merge with and into Second Merger Sub, with COG surviving the merger as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement (clauses (i) and (ii), together, the “Contemplated Mergers”).
On April 25, 2025, pursuant to Section 8.1(a) of the Merger Agreement, the Company and the Acquired Companies entered into a mutual termination agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) to terminate the Merger Agreement (the “Termination”), effective immediately. As a result of the Termination Agreement, the Merger Agreement is of no further force and effect.
Acquisition and Divesture Expenses
Acquisition and divestiture related expenses for third-party transactions are included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Statement of Consolidated Operations for the periods indicated below (in thousands):

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a specified measurement date. Fair value estimates are based on either (i) actual market data or (ii) assumptions that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including estimates of risk. A three-tier hierarchy has been established that classifies fair value amounts recognized or disclosed in the financial statements. The hierarchy considers fair value amounts based on observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) to be more reliable and predictable than those based primarily on unobservable inputs (Level 3). All the derivative instruments reflected on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were considered Level 2.
The carrying values of accounts receivables, accounts payables (including accrued liabilities), restricted investments and amounts outstanding under long-term debt agreements with variable rates included in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximated fair value at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The fair value estimates are based upon observable market data and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. These assets and liabilities are not presented in the following tables.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The fair market values of the derivative financial instruments reflected on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were based on estimated forward commodity prices. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The following tables present the gross derivative assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 for each of the fair value hierarchy levels:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, as reflected on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair values:
● The fair value of asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) is based on discounted cash flow projections using numerous estimates, assumptions and judgments regarding factors such as the existence of a legal obligation for an ARO, amounts and timing of settlements, the credit-adjusted risk-free rate and inflation rates. The initial fair value estimates are based on unobservable market data and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 7 for a summary of changes in AROs.
● Proved oil and natural gas properties are reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate a possible decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of such properties. The Company uses an income approach based on the discounted cash flow method, whereby the present value of expected future net cash flows is discounted by applying an appropriate discount rate, for purposes of placing a fair value on the assets. The future cash flows are based on management’s estimates for the future. The unobservable inputs used to determine fair value include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved reserves, estimates of probable reserves, future commodity prices, the timing of future production and capital expenditures and a discount rate commensurate with the risk reflective of the lives remaining for the respective oil and natural gas properties (some of which are Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy).
o No impairment expense was recorded on proved oil and natural gas properties during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Note 6. Risk Management and Derivative Instruments
Derivative instruments are utilized to manage exposure to commodity price and interest rate fluctuations and to achieve a more predictable cash flow in connection with oil sales and borrowing related activities. These instruments limit exposure to declines in prices but also limit the benefits that would be realized if prices increase.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Certain inherent business risks are associated with commodity derivative contracts, including market risk and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the price of oil will change, either favorably or unfavorably, in response to changing market conditions. Credit risk is the risk of loss from non-performance by the counterparty to a contract. It is the Company’s policy to enter into derivative contracts only with creditworthy counterparties, which are generally financial institutions, deemed by management as competent and competitive market makers. Some of the lenders, or certain of their affiliates, under the Company’s current credit agreements are counterparties to its derivative contracts. While collateral is generally not required to be posted by counterparties, credit risk associated with derivative instruments is minimized by limiting exposure to any single counterparty and entering into derivative instruments only with creditworthy counterparties that are generally large financial institutions. Additionally, master netting agreements are used to mitigate risk of loss due to default with counterparties on derivative instruments. The Company has also entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with each of its counterparties. The terms of the ISDA Agreements provide the Company and each of its counterparties with rights of set-off upon the occurrence of defined acts of default by either the Company or its counterparty to a derivative, whereby the party not in default may set-off all liabilities owed to the defaulting party against all net derivative asset receivables from the defaulting party.

Balance Sheet Presentation
The following table summarizes both: (i) the gross fair value of derivative instruments by the appropriate balance sheet classification even when the derivative instruments are subject to netting arrangements and qualify for net presentation in the balance sheet and (ii) the net recorded fair value as reflected on the balance sheet at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. There was no cash collateral received or pledged associated with the Company’s derivative instruments since most of its counterparties, or certain of its affiliates, to its derivative contracts are lenders under its Revolving Credit Facility.

Note 8. Long-Term Debt
The Company had no debt outstanding at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On July 31, 2023, OLLC and Amplify Acquisitionco LLC (“Acquisitionco”), as the direct parent of OLLC and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, providing for a senior secured reserve-based revolving credit facility. The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company and all of its material subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of their assets.
On December 31, 2025, OLLC entered into the Borrowing Base Redetermination, Commitment Increase and Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), among OLLC, Acquisitionco, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Citizens Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders. The Second Amendment amended the Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things: (i) set the Borrowing Base at $ 25.0 million, with elected commitments of $ 15.0 million and (ii) extend the maturity date under the Revolving Credit Facility to December 31, 2028. Immediately prior to entering into the Second Amendment, KeyBank, National Association resigned as administrative agent under the Revolving Credit Facility and was replaced by Citizens Bank, N.A.
As of March 31, 2026, the borrowing base under the facility was $ 25.0 million with elected commitments of $ 15.0 million. The Revolving Credit Facility borrowing base is subject to redetermination on at least a semi-annual basis, primarily based on a reserve engineering report.
Certain key terms and conditions under the Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, include (but are not limited to):
● A maturity date of December 31, 2028;
● The loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) adjusted SOFR or (ii) an adjusted base rate, plus an applicable margin based on a utilization ratio of the lesser of the borrowing base and the aggregate commitments. The applicable margin ranges from 2.00 % to 3.00 % for adjusted base rate borrowings, and 3.00 % to 4.00 % for adjusted SOFR borrowings;
● The unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility will accrue a commitment fee of 0.50 % , payable quarterly in arrears;
● Certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of (i) a net debt leverage ratio not to exceed 3.00 to 1.00, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter for the four fiscal-quarter period then ending and (ii) a current ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter;
● Certain events of default, including, without limitation: non-payment; breaches of representations and warranties; non-compliance with covenants or other agreements; cross-default to material indebtedness; judgments; change of control; and voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy; and
● Minimum hedging requirements ranging from 25 % to 75 % depending on availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, of the reasonably projected monthly production of hydrocarbons from proved developed producing reserves for the 12-month period immediately following the date of determination.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all the financial covenants (current ratio and total leverage ratio) and non-financial covenants associated with the Revolving Credit Facility.

Note 11. Long-Term Incentive Plans
On May 15, 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved the Amplify Energy Corp. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 EIP”), which had previously been approved by the board of directors of the Company. No further awards will be granted under the prior Legacy Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP,” and together with the 2024 EIP, the “EIP Plans”).
The 2024 EIP provides for awards that can be granted in the form of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance awards, stock awards and other incentive awards. To the extent that an award, other than stock options or stock appreciation rights, under the 2024 EIP has expired or been forfeited or canceled for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unexercised award would then be available again for future grants under the 2024 EIP. The 2024 EIP is administered by the board of directors of the Company.
Restricted Stock Units
Restricted Stock Units with Service Vesting Condition
Restricted stock units with service vesting conditions (“TSUs”) are accounted for as either equity-classified awards or liability-classified awards. The Company considered its intent and ability to settle awards in cash or shares of stock in determining whether to classify the awards as equity or liability awards. Compensation costs for equity-classified awards are recorded as general and administrative expense. The fair value of liability-classified awards is determined on a quarterly basis beginning at the grant date until final vesting. Changes in the fair value of liability-classified awards are recorded to general administrative expense and are remeasured at fair value each reporting period.
23
Table of Contents
AMPLIFY ENERGY CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of March 31, 2026, TSU grants are accounted for as equity-classified awards. The grant-date fair value is recognized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. The unrecognized cost associated with the TSUs was $ 5.7 million at March 31, 2026. The Company expects to recognize the unrecognized compensation cost for these awards over a weighted average period of approximately 2.2 years.

(2) The aggregate grant-date fair value of TSUs issued for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $ 3.4 million based on a grant-date market price at $ 5.02 per share.
Restricted Stock Units with Market and Service Vesting Conditions
Restricted stock units with market and service vesting conditions (“PSUs”) are accounted for as either equity-classified or liability-classified awards. The grant-date fair value is recognized as compensation cost on a graded-vesting basis. The fair value of the awards is estimated on their grant dates using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Company recognizes compensation cost over the requisite service or performance period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Vesting of PSUs can range from 0 % to 200 % of the target awards granted based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of the Company’s performance peer group over the applicable performance period.
The 2024, 2025 and 2026 PSU awards are accounted for as equity-classified awards and were issued with a three-year vesting period beginning on the grant date and ending on the third anniversary of the grant date. The three-year performance period for the 2024 awards is January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026. The three-year performance period for the 2025 awards is January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027. The three-year performance period for the 2026 awards is January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028.
In connection with Mr. Daniel Furbee’s appointment as Chief Executive Officer, he received a grant of 100,000 PSUs (the “Target PSUs”) on July 22, 2025. The Target PSUs are subject to a performance period that began on July 22, 2025 and ends on March 31, 2028 (the “Performance Period”). The Target PSUs will vest, subject to Mr. Furbee’s continued employment through the settlement date, as follows: (i) 50 % of the Target PSUs will vest if the 20 -day volume-weighted average closing price (“VWAP”) of a share of Company common stock for the 20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the end of the Performance Period equals at least $ 6.00 but less than $ 8.00 , (ii) 100 % of the Target PSUs will vest if the 20 -day VWAP of a share of Company common stock for the 20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the end of the Performance Period equals at least $ 8.00 , but less than $ 10.00 , and (iii) 200 % of the Target PSUs will vest if the 20 -day VWAP of a share of the Company’s common stock for the 20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the end of the Performance Period equals at least $ 10.00 , with linear interpolation to apply for actual performance achieved between the foregoing thresholds.
Compensation costs related to PSU awards are recorded as general and administrative expense. The unrecognized cost associated with PSU awards was $ 2.6 million at March 31, 2026. The Company expects to recognize the unrecognized compensation cost for PSU awards over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.2 years.

Note 12. Leases
The Company has leases for office space, warehouse space and equipment in its corporate office and operating regions as well as vehicles, compressors and surface rentals related to its business operations. In addition, the Company has right-of-way leases to operate the San Pedro Bay Pipeline. Most of the Company’s leases, other than its corporate office lease, have an initial term and may be extended on a month-to-month basis after expiration of the initial term. Most of the Company’s leases can be terminated with 30-day prior written notice. The majority of its month-to-month leases are not included as a lease liability in its balance sheet because continuation of the lease is not reasonably certain. Additionally, the Company elected the short-term practical expedient to exclude leases with a term of twelve months or less. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, all of the Company’s leases qualified as operating leases, and it did not have any existing or new leases qualifying as financing leases or variable leases.
The Company’s corporate office lease does not provide an implicit rate. To determine the present value of the lease payments, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the inception date. To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company applies a portfolio approach based on the applicable lease terms and the current economic environment. The Company uses a reasonable market interest rate for its office equipment and vehicle leases.

Note 15. Segment Reporting
The Company’s operations are all related to the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas in the United States, from which the Company derives all of its revenues. The Company manages its business as a single reportable segment, as its operations are focused on assets with similar economic characteristics, production processes, types of purchasers, regulatory environment and customers which are consistent across the Company. Therefore, the Company aggregates its operating regions into one reportable segment.
The CODM uses consolidated net income to assess financial performance, allocating capital and other resources. The CODM uses consolidated net income in the annual budgeting and monthly forecasting process. Additionally, the CODM is regularly provided information on lease operating expense, gathering, processing and transportation and taxes other than income. Other segment items primarily consist of DD&A, accretion expense, general and administrative expense, pipeline incident loss, loss (gain) on commodity derivative, interest expense and income tax expense (benefit). Our significant segment expenses and other segment items are derived from and can be found within the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as total assets and the measure of capital expenditures is reflected in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Environmental
As part of our normal business activities, we may be named as defendants in litigation and legal proceedings, including those arising from regulatory and environmental matters.
Although the Company is insured against various risks to the extent it believes it is prudent, there is no assurance that the nature and amount of such insurance will be adequate, in every case, to indemnify it against liabilities arising from future legal proceedings.
28
Table of Contents
AMPLIFY ENERGY CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Environmental costs for remediation are accrued based on estimates of known remediation requirements. Such accruals are based on management’s best estimate of the ultimate cost to remediate a site and are adjusted as further information and circumstances develop. Those estimates may change substantially depending on information about the nature and extent of contamination, appropriate remediation technologies and regulatory approvals. Expenditures to mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination are capitalized. Ongoing environmental compliance costs are charged to expense as incurred. In accruing for environmental remediation liabilities, costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation are not discounted to their present value, unless the amount and timing of the expenditures are fixed or reliably determinable. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no environmental reserves recorded in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Beta Pipeline Incident
There have been no material changes to the legal proceedings, insurance receivables and costs associated with the incident that occurred at our producing oil property located at Beta (the “Incident”) as described in the Company’s annual financial statements included in its 2025 Form 10-K, except with respect to that disclosed below.
Excluding the costs associated with the resolution of the federal and state matters discussed in the 2025 Form 10-K, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred legal fees, loss load and other non-reimbursable expenses of less than $ 0.1 million that are classified as “Pipeline Incident Loss” on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For more information, please see the 2025 Form 10-K.
Sinking Fund Trust Agreement
Beta Operating Company, LLC (“Beta LLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary, assumed an obligation with a third party to make payments into a sinking fund in connection with the Company’s properties in federal waters offshore Southern California, the purpose of which is to provide funds adequate to decommission the portion of the San Pedro Bay Pipeline that lies within state waters and the surface facilities. Interest earned in the account stays in the account. The obligation to fund ceases when the aggregate value of the account reaches $ 4.3 million.

In December 2021, the Company entered into two escrow funding agreements with its surety providers to fund interest-bearing escrow accounts on a quarterly basis to reimburse and indemnify the surety providers for any claims arising under the surety bonds related to the decommissioning of our Beta LLC properties.

Note 17. Income Taxes
The Company’s current income tax benefit (expense) was $ 0.0 million and less than ($ 0.1 ) million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The Company’s deferred income tax benefit (expense) was $ 11.6 million and $ 1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were 23.3 % and 20.8 %, respectively. The difference between the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21 % and the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily attributable to vested stock compensation and unrealized hedging book losses for 2026. Both items represent negative income drivers and moved in the same direction, resulting in an effective tax rate that exceeded the statutory rate. The difference between the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21 % and the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to vested stock compensation.
Note 18. Subsequent Events
Beta Royalty Relief
On, April 30, 2026, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (“BSEE”) informed the Company that it had been approved for End-of-Life Royalty Relief for the Company’s interests in three Pacific Outer Continental Shelf blocks (P-300, P-0301, and P-0306), referred to as the Beta unit in the Beta Field located in federal waters approximately 11 miles offshore from the Port of Long Beach, California. The royalty relief is effective beginning May 1, 2026 for the Beta leases. On the Company’s two primary producing leases, the royalty rate was reduced from approximately 25 % to 12.5 %, and on the third lease, the royalty rate was reduced from 16.67 % to 8.33 %.
Royalty relief rates will be suspended in months in which the rolling 12 -month weighted average NYMEX oil and Henry Hub gas price exceeds $ 79.65 per BOE, which represents a 25 % premium to the average realized price recognized by the Company during the qualification period. Royalty relief will end in the event that the rolling 12 -month weighted average commodity prices exceed $ 79.65 per BOE, or if monthly production doubles the qualifying months’ average for 12 consecutive months.
