Defined Terms
Term After Tax Cash Flow (ATCF) Before Tax Cash Margin Debt Adjusted per Share Calculations Definition Revenue less capital, lease operating expenses, production taxes, transportation, and income taxes Revenue less lease operating expenses, production taxes, and transportation Normalizes growth funded through debt by converting the change in debt into an equivalent amount of equity shares using an average stock price. The equivalent shares are netted with total shares outstanding which impacts the per share calculations of reserves, production and cash flow. Cash flow from operations excluding working capital changes plus cash exploration expense
