Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On September 10, 2024, (the “Closing Date”), Diamondback Energy, Inc., (“Diamondback”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) completed the previously announced acquisition of Endeavor Parent, LLC (“Endeavor” and such acquisition, the “Acquisition”) by acquiring 100% of the equity interests in Endeavor (the “Endeavor Interests”).  The aggregate consideration in exchange for the Endeavor Interests under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger for the Acquisition (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) included:  (i) cash consideration of approximately $7.1 billion, subject to customary post-closing adjustments under the terms of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) 117,267,065 shares of our common stock.

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information (the “pro forma financial statements”) gives effect to the Acquisition, which will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with Diamondback identified as the acquirer.  Under the acquisition method of accounting, we will record assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Endeavor at their respective acquisition date fair values on the Closing Date.

The pro forma financial statements have been prepared from the respective historical consolidated financial statements of Diamondback and Endeavor, adjusted to give effect to the Acquisition.  The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet (the “pro forma balance sheet”) combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of Diamondback and Endeavor as of June 30, 2024, giving effect to the Acquisition as if it had been completed on June 30, 2024.  The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations (the “pro forma statements of operations” and together with the pro forma balance sheet, the “pro forma financial statements”) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of Diamondback and Endeavor, giving effect to the Acquisition as if it had been completed on January 1, 2023.  The pro forma financial statements contain certain reclassification adjustments to conform the historical Endeavor financial statement presentation to our financial statement presentation.  For purposes of the pro forma financial statements presented below, it is assumed that we funded the cash consideration with (i) cash on hand as of June 30, 2024, excluding cash attributable to Viper Energy, Inc., and (ii) $1.0 billion of borrowings from the Term Loan Credit Agreement with Diamondback E&P LLC, as borrower, and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, entered into on February 29, 2024 (the “term loan”).

The pro forma financial statements are presented to reflect the Acquisition and do not (i) represent what our financial position or results of operations would have been had the Acquisition occurred on the dates noted above, (ii) project the financial position or results of operations of the combined company following the Acquisition nor (iii) reflect the actual pro forma financial position of Diamondback as of the Closing Date.  The pro forma financial statements are intended to provide information about the continuing impact of the Acquisition as if it had been consummated on the dates noted above, which are earlier than the Closing Date.  The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and certain assumptions that management believes are factually supportable.  In the opinion of our management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the pro forma financial statements have been made.

The pro forma financial statements do not include the realization of any cost savings from operating efficiencies or synergies that might result from the Acquisition. The pro forma financial statements exclude the costs associated with subsequent integration activities related to the Acquisition.  Additionally, we and Endeavor anticipate that certain non-recurring charges will be incurred in connection with the Acquisition, the substantial majority of which consist of fees paid to financial, legal and accounting advisors and filing fees.  Any such charge could affect the future results of the post-acquisition company in the period in which such charges are incurred; however, these costs are not expected to be incurred in any period beyond twelve months from the Closing Date.  Accordingly, the pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 reflects the effects of any expected non-recurring charges which are not included in the historical statements of operations of Diamondback or Endeavor.

As of the date of the Form 8-K/A to which these pro forma financial statements are included as an exhibit, we have used currently available information to determine preliminary fair value estimates for the allocation of the total Acquisition consideration to the Endeavor tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets acquired, if any, and liabilities assumed.  We estimated the fair value of Endeavor’s assets and liabilities based on reviews of Endeavor’s historical audited financial statements, preliminary valuation studies, discussions with Endeavor’s management and other due diligence procedures.  The assumptions and estimates used to determine the preliminary purchase price allocation and fair value adjustments are described in the notes accompanying the pro forma financial statements.

1

The final determination of the fair value of Endeavor’s assets and liabilities will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Endeavor acquired as of the Closing Date, as determined by valuation studies which are currently ongoing.  

As a result of the foregoing, the transaction accounting adjustments are preliminary and subject to change as additional information becomes available and additional analysis is performed.  The preliminary transaction accounting adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the pro forma financial statements presented below.  Any increases or decreases in the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon completion of the final valuation will result in adjustments to the pro forma balance sheet and if applicable, the pro forma statements of operations.  The final purchase price allocation may be materially different than that reflected in the preliminary purchase price allocation presented herein.

The pro forma financial statements have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with, (i) Diamondback’s historical consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Diamondback’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024 and Diamondback’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and (ii) Endeavor’s historical unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and Endeavor’s historical audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the notes thereto, which such information in the foregoing clause (ii) are attached as Exhibit 99.1 to, and incorporated by reference into, respectively, the Form 8-K/A to which these pro forma financial statements are included as an exhibit.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of Diamondback and Endeavor.  Certain of Endeavor’s historical amounts have been reclassified to conform to our financial statement presentation, and pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect the Acquisition and certain transaction accounting adjustments, as discussed further in Note 3 below.  The pro forma balance sheet gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had been completed on June 30, 2024.  The pro forma statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, give pro forma effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2023, the beginning of the earliest period presented.  The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with (i) Diamondback’s historical consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Diamondback’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024 and Diamondback’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and (ii) Endeavor’s historical unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and Endeavor’s historical audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the notes thereto, which such information in the foregoing clause (ii) are attached as Exhibit 99.1 to, and incorporated by reference into, respectively, the Form 8-K/A to which these pro forma financial statements are included as an exhibit.

The Acquisition and the related transaction accounting adjustments are described in the accompanying notes to the pro forma financial statements.  In the opinion of our management, all material adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly, in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X of the SEC, the pro forma financial statements.  The pro forma financial statements (i) do not purport to be indicative of the financial position or results of operations of the combined company that would have occurred if the Acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated, (ii) are not indicative of our future financial position or results of operations and (iii) do not reflect the actual pro forma financial position of Diamondback as of the Closing Date. In addition, future results may vary significantly from those reflected in such statements.

2.
PRELIMINARY ACQUISITION ACCOUNTING

On September 10, 2024, we completed the Acquisition.  The preliminary value of the Acquisition consideration set forth below of approximately $27.7 billion is based on the closing share price of the common stock as of the Closing Date.  The preliminary Acquisition consideration set forth below consists of approximately 117.27 million shares of our common stock and $7.6 billion of cash (on the assumption that the Acquisition occurred on June 30, 2024), subject to customary closing and post-closing adjustments.

We have determined that we are the accounting acquirer to the Acquisition which will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”).  The allocation of the purchase price with respect to the Acquisition is based upon our management’s estimates of and assumptions related to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the Closing Date, using currently available information.  The final purchase price allocation and the resulting effect on our financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts included herein.

The final purchase price allocation for the business combination may include adjustments to estimated amounts or recognition of additional assets acquired or liabilities assumed as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the Closing Date.  We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation within one year from the Closing Date.

The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change due to several factors, including, but not limited to changes in the estimated fair value of Endeavor’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Closing Date, which could result from our additional valuation analysis, changes in reserves estimates, other property and equipment estimates, discount rates, and other factors.

$11 million loss charged to Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt.

(e)          Reflects the elimination of Endeavor’s historical Accumulated depletion, depreciation, amortization and impairment balances in the pro forma balance sheet.  The pro forma adjustments to the Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense line items for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively, reflect the following:

Pro forma statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024:
 

the elimination of Endeavor’s historical depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense of $650 million;


$1.1 billion for the pro forma adjustment to depletion expense calculated in accordance with the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties, which was based on the preliminary purchase price allocation of estimated fair value of the proved oil and natural gas properties acquired;
 

$14 million for the pro forma adjustments to depreciation expense based on the estimated fair value of other property, plant and equipment acquired and the estimated remaining lives of the assets on the Closing Date; and
 

$9 million for adjustments to accretion expense in relation to the fair value of the asset retirement obligations acquired.
 
Pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023:
 

the elimination of Endeavor’s historical depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense of $1.1 billion;
 

$2.0 billion for the pro forma adjustment to depletion expense calculated in accordance with the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties, which was based on the preliminary purchase price allocation of estimated fair value of the proved oil and natural gas properties acquired;
 

$28 million for the pro forma adjustments to depreciation expense based on the estimated fair value of other property, plant and equipment acquired and the estimated remaining lives of such assets on the Closing Date; and
 

$19 million for adjustments to accretion expense in relation to the fair value of the asset retirement obligations acquired.

(f)          Reflects a $5.6 billion increase to Deferred income taxes and Oil and natural gas properties, full cost method of accounting to reflect adjustments to the GAAP basis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which affect the excess of the GAAP basis over the tax basis in the applicable assets and liabilities, based on the blended federal and state statutory tax rate of 21.6% at which basis differences are anticipated to reverse.

(g)          Reflects the net cash proceeds from the $1.0 billion term loan with a one-year maturity used to partially fund the cash consideration for the Acquisition. The adjustments to the pro forma balance sheet were an increase to Cash and cash equivalents of $999 million, an increase to Prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1 million to reflect short-term capitalized debt issuance costs, and an increase to Short-term debt of $1.0 billion.

(h)          Reflects the elimination of $7 million in Accounts receivable - Oil and natural gas sales, net and Accounts payable - trade, for balances receivable and payable between Diamondback and Endeavor at June 30, 2024 in the pro forma balance sheet.

10

(i)          Reflects $79 million of non-recurring costs related to the Acquisition primarily consisting of fees paid to financial, legal and accounting advisors and filing fees. The costs are not reflected in the historical December 31, 2023 or June 30, 2024 financial statements of Diamondback or Endeavor, but are reflected in the pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 as an increase to Other accrued liabilities and a decrease to Retained earnings (accumulated deficit), and in the pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 within Merger and integration expenses as they relate directly to the Acquisition and will be expensed by Diamondback as incurred.  These costs are not expected to be incurred in any period beyond 12 months from the Closing Date.

(j)          The pro-forma adjustments of $1 million and ($38) million recorded to Interest expense, net on the pro forma statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively, were comprised of the following:

Pro forma statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024:
 

Increase of $185 million comprised of (i) $152 million interest expense on Diamondback’s $5.5 billion senior notes issued in April 2024  (the “April 2024 senior notes”) with a weighted average interest rate of 5.52%, and (ii) $33 million interest expense on a pro-forma $1.0 billion revolving credit facility balance with an interest rate of 6.58%, which is a pro-forma replacement for the $1.0 billion short-term term loan balance;
 

increase of $1 million due to higher pro-forma amortization of debt issuance costs related to the April 2024 senior notes;
 

increase of $71 million related to the reversal of interest income earned by Diamondback in 2024 on the cash proceeds of the new debt issued in 2024 to fund the cash portion of the Acquisition consideration;
 

decrease of $185 million related to capitalized interest calculated in accordance with our accounting policy;
 

decrease of $61 million reflecting the reversal of Diamondback’s historically reported interest expense incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2024 related to the April 2024 senior notes; and
 

decrease of $12 million reflecting the reversal of Endeavor’s historically reported net interest expense.
 
Pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023:
 

Increase of $371 million comprised of (i) $304 million in interest expense on Diamondback’s $5.5 billion April 2024 senior notes with a weighted average interest rate of 5.52%, (ii) $66 million in interest expense on the $1.0 billion term loan with an interest rate of 6.58%, and (iii) $1 million in incremental commitment fees on Diamondback’s undrawn revolving credit facility due to an increase of $900 million in the maximum commitment amount available upon close of the Acquisition;


increase of $3 million due to incremental amortization of debt issuance costs incurred related to the term loan facility that have not yet been reflected in the historical financial statements;
 

increase of $5 million due to amortization of debt issuance costs related to the April 2024 senior notes;
 

increase of $28 million reflecting the reversal of Endeavor’s historically reported net interest income; and
 

decrease of $369 million related to capitalized interest calculated in accordance with our accounting policy.

A 1/8 of a percentage point increase or decrease in the SOFR rate and weighted average pro-forma coupon rate on the notes would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

11

(k)          Reflects the tax effect of the transaction accounting adjustments above on the pro forma statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023, to the extent the amounts are expected to be deductible or taxable as appropriate, at the blended federal and state statutory tax rate of 21.6%.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the adjustment also reflects the application of the blended rate of 21.6% to Endeavor’s historically reported Income (loss) before income taxes for which no income tax expense was historically reported due to Endeavor’s status as an S-Corporation.

Effective January 1, 2024, Endeavor was converted to a C-Corporation and became subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax rules and GAAP requirements for income tax accounting. At the time of conversion, Endeavor recorded a deferred tax liability and income tax expense of approximately $1.6 billion for the difference between the book basis of its assets and the tax basis as determined as of January 1, 2024. For further discussion, refer to Endeavor’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which are included in Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K/A.

As a result of Endeavor’s recognition and reporting of corporate income tax in the historical financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024, no additional pro forma income tax adjustment was applied to the Income (loss) before income taxes historically reported by Endeavor for the period then ended.

(l)          Reflects the issuance of approximately 117.27 million shares of common stock to the holders of the Endeavor Interests to partially finance the Acquisition.  The additional shares were assumed to have been outstanding since January 1, 2023.  The following table reconciles historical and pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share utilizing the two-class method for the periods indicated:

Additionally, we may incur up to an additional $157 million in severance and other incentive compensation related expenses to be settled in cash in future periods, which are not adjusted in the pro forma financial statements.  Payment of the remaining severance and other incentive compensation will be based on the terms of the historical Endeavor severance and incentive compensation plans or the voluntary acceleration of payouts under these plans by us.

SUPPLEMENTAL PRO FORMA OIL AND NATURAL GAS RESERVES INFORMATION

The following tables present estimated pro forma combined oil and natural gas reserves information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.  The amounts below were determined by referencing the amounts reported in Diamondback’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and in the consolidated financial statements and supplemental schedules of Endeavor (which are incorporated by reference into the 8-K/A to which these pro forma financial statements are included as an exhibit).  An explanation of the underlying methodology applied, as required by SEC regulations, can be found within Diamondback’s Annual Report and Endeavor’s consolidated financial statements and supplemental schedules.  The following estimated pro forma combined oil and gas reserves information is not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the Acquisition been completed on December 31, 2023 and is not intended to be a projection of future results.  Future results may vary significantly from the results presented. The following tables present the estimated pro forma combined net proved developed and undeveloped oil and gas reserves information as of December 31, 2023, along with a summary of changes in quantities of net remaining proved reserves during the year ended December 31, 2023.
