Robert J. Anderson, President and CEO of Earthstone, commented, "We achieved strong second quarter results and continue building towards what we believe will be an exceptional year for Earthstone. Our team executed and delivered these strong results while successfully integrating the assets from our IRM Acquisition into our operations and actively pursuing additional acquisitions such as the recently closed Eagle Ford and Tracker acquisitions. Our growing cash flow combined with our solid balance sheet has positioned us to be able to execute an active acquisition strategy this year that is significantly increasing our scale while expanding our opportunities for greater efficiency and profitable growth. The series of accretive acquisitions that we have announced so far this year substantially increase our production and add about 120 high-graded drilling locations while only minimally impacting our leverage levels and total G&A costs. As we fully integrate the assets acquired in the Tracker Acquisition and execute on our two-rig drilling program, we expect that our results in 2022 will further demonstrate the meaningful benefits of our consolidation strategy."

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2021, we had $0.5 million in cash and $241.4 million of long-term debt outstanding under our senior secured revolving credit facility (our "Credit Facility") with a borrowing base of $475 million. With the $233.6 million of undrawn borrowing base capacity and $0.5 million in cash, we had total liquidity of approximately $234.1 million. Adjusted for the closing of the Tracker Acquisition on July 20, 2021, we had an estimated $0.5 million in cash and $301.0 million of long-term debt outstanding under our Credit Facility with a borrowing base of $550 million. With the $249.0 million of undrawn borrowing base capacity and $0.5 million in cash, we had total liquidity of approximately $249.5 million on a combined basis. Through June 30, 2021, we had incurred $32.6 million of our estimated $130-$140 million in capital expenditures for 2021. We expect to fund our remaining 2021 capital expenditures with cash flow from operations while any excess will be used to pay down debt.
