Going concern and the audit

Unqualified (unmodified) opinion from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (Birmingham, Alabama; PCAOB ID 238; auditor since 2020) on both the financial statements and internal control over financial reporting as of Dec 31, 2025. Sole Critical Audit Matter: estimation of proved developed natural gas, oil and NGL reserves and its impact on DD&A ($4.5bn net natural gas/oil properties; $339.2 million DD&A expense). Canvas Energy Inc. (acquired in 2025, ~9% of total assets and ~1% of revenue) was excluded from management's and the auditor's assessment of internal control over financial reporting

The risks it names first
  • Reserve estimate uncertainty; actual production, revenues and expenditures may vary materially from estimates, and PV-10 is not the same as current market valuep.21
  • Weather-event and GHG/climate regulatory risk, including evolving disclosure mandates and potential peak-demand scenarios for gas/oilp.22
  • Reliance on third-party gathering/transportation infrastructure not controlled by the Company and exposure to tariff charges (e.g., ~28% of 2025 NGL volumes processed at a single third-party Kentucky facility)p.23
  • Dependence on CEO and founder Robert Russell Hutson, Jr. and other key management/technical personnelp.24
