Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Diversified Energy Company filed an 8-K providing unaudited pro forma financial information that shows how its 2025 results would look after acquiring Canvas Energy Inc. and Maverick Natural Resources. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the pro forma combined statement reports net income of 421,592 thousand and total revenue of 2,263,210 thousand.

The Canvas asset acquisition was funded with approximately 3,718,209 new common shares plus about $399 million in cash, partially financed by a $400 million asset-backed securitization. The Maverick business combination used 21,194,213 new common shares and about $211 million in cash. Pro forma earnings per share attributable to Diversified are $4.30 basic and $4.23 diluted, based on 97,882,109 basic and 99,391,014 diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Management notes the pro forma figures are based on transaction accounting adjustments only and are not necessarily indicative of future results. Detailed notes explain reclassifications, interest expense changes from new debt, asset retirement accretion, depletion rates, and related income tax effects.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

Diversified quantifies the full-year impact of its Canvas and Maverick deals using pro forma 2025 results.

The filing centers on an unaudited pro forma statement combining Diversified Energy with the acquired Canvas and Maverick assets as if both closed on January 1, 2025. Pro forma total revenue is 2,263,210 thousand, with net income of 421,592 thousand and earnings attributable to Diversified of 420,808 thousand.

The Canvas asset acquisition used 3,718,209 new shares and about $399 million cash, partly backed by a $400 million asset-backed securitization. The Maverick business combination added 21,194,213 new shares and approximately $211 million cash. These structures drive higher interest expense, with pro forma adjustments of $30,932 thousand for Canvas funding and $4,238 thousand for Maverick-related credit facility borrowings.

Management applies only Article 11 transaction accounting adjustments, without synergy estimates, and updates accretion and depletion to reflect new asset retirement obligations and purchase price allocations. Pro forma basic EPS attributable to Diversified is $4.30 when both transactions are combined, with weighted average basic shares of 97,882,109, showing the earnings effect after issuing new equity for the deals.

Exhibit 99.1
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
Canvas Energy Inc. and Subsidiaries (“Canvas”) Asset Acquisition
On November 24, 2025, Diversified Energy Company (the “Company” or “Diversified”) acquired Canvas (the “Canvas Transaction”). When evaluating the transaction, the Company determined that substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in a single asset group; therefore, the transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The Company funded the transaction through a combination of the issuance of 3,718,209 new shares of common stock to the unitholders of Canvas and paid cash consideration of approximately $399 million, inclusive of transaction costs of approximately $13 million. In conjunction with the close of the Canvas Transaction, the Company closed on a $400 million asset backed securitization (“ABS”) to partially fund the cash portion of the Transaction.
Maverick Natural Resources, LLC and Subsidiaries (“Maverick”) Business Combination
On March 14, 2025, the Company acquired Maverick in a stock-and-cash transaction (the “Maverick Transaction”), after which Maverick became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. When evaluating the transaction, the Company determined the transaction did not have a significant concentration of assets and that it acquired an identifiable set of inputs, processes, and outputs. As a result, the Company concluded the transaction was a business combination. The Company funded the transaction through a combination of the issuance of 21,194,213 new shares of common stock to Maverick unitholders and paid cash consideration of approximately $211 million. Transaction costs incurred with the Maverick Transaction were approximately $21 million.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025 was prepared as if the Canvas and Maverick transactions had occurred on January 1, 2025. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company, Canvas and Maverick.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and underlying pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and include certain estimates and assumptions made by the Company’s management; accordingly, actual results could differ materially from the pro forma information. Management believes that the assumptions used to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and accompanying notes provide a reasonable and supportable basis for presenting the significant estimated effects of the transactions. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of comprehensive income (loss) do not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations would have been if the Canvas and Maverick transactions had occurred on January 1, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of comprehensive income (loss) should be read together with the following:
the Company’s audited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026;
Canvas’ unaudited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on February 6, 2026.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X using assumptions set forth in the notes herein. Article 11 permits presentation of reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). The Company has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of comprehensive income (loss).

Exhibit 99.1
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
Note 1 - BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared based on:
the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025,
the historical Canvas consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and the historical financial activity of Canvas from October 1, 2025 through November 24, 2025, the closing date of the Canvas Transaction, and
the historical financial activity of Maverick from January 1, 2025 through March 14, 2025, the closing date of the Maverick Transaction.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025 was prepared assuming the Canvas and Maverick transactions occurred on January 1, 2025. The Canvas Transaction closed on November 24, 2025. The Maverick Transaction closed on March 14, 2025. Therefore, the Canvas and Maverick transactions are already included in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects pro forma adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes and are based on currently available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, however, actual results may differ materially. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma information have been made. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations would have been if the Canvas and Maverick transactions had actually occurred on the date indicated above, nor is it indicative of the Company’s future results of operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company, as applicable, for the periods presented.
Note 2 - RECLASSIFICATION ADJUSTMENTS
Certain reclassifications have been made in the historical presentation of the Canvas and Maverick financial statements to conform to the Company’s historical presentation.

Exhibit 99.1
Note 3 - PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS - MAVERICK
Maverick Transaction
Statement of Operations
The unaudited pro forma combined statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025 reflects the adjustments listed below for the Maverick Transaction. These adjustments are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined Company, unless stated otherwise.
(a)Adjustments are for the period January 1, 2025 through March 14, 2025, the date the Maverick Transaction closed.
(b)Represents the incremental accretion expense attributable to asset retirement obligations for the year ended December 31, 2025.
(c)Represents the incremental depreciation, depletion and amortization expense related to the assets acquired in the Maverick Transaction, which is based on the purchase price allocation. Depletion was calculated using the unit-of-production method under the successful efforts method of accounting. The depletion expense was adjusted for the revision to the depletion rate reflecting the acquisition costs and the reserves volumes attributable to the acquired oil and gas properties. The pro forma depletion rate attributable to the Maverick Transaction was $5.00 per barrel of oil equivalent.
(d)Represents the increase to interest expense resulting from the (i) incremental interest expense for borrowings on Diversified’s expanded credit facility to finance the closing of the Maverick Transaction and (ii) incremental interest expense for the amortization of estimated financing costs related to the amendment entered into by Diversified on the closing date of the Maverick Transaction to increase the borrowing base capacity and commitment amounts on Diversified’s revolving credit facility as follows:

(3,590)
Incremental interest expense for amortization of expected financing costs
(648)
Total transaction accounting adjustments to interest expense
$
(4,238)
(e)Represents the estimated income tax impact of the pro forma adjustments from the Maverick Transaction at the estimated blended federal and state statutory rate of approximately 24% for the year ended December 31, 2025. Because the tax rates used for these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are an estimate, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to the completion of the Maverick Transaction.
(f)The table below represents the calculation of the weighted average shares outstanding and earnings per share included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. As the Maverick Transaction is being reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 as if it had occurred on January 1, 2025, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share assumes that the shares issuable related to the Maverick Transaction have been outstanding for the entire period.

What are the key terms of Diversified Energy’s Maverick acquisition?

On March 14, 2025, Diversified acquired Maverick in a stock-and-cash business combination, making Maverick a wholly-owned subsidiary. The company issued 21,194,213 new common shares to Maverick unitholders and paid approximately $211 million in cash, incurring about $21 million of related transaction costs, all reflected in the pro forma data.

What are the pro forma 2025 revenue and net income for Diversified Energy after these deals?

The unaudited pro forma combined statement for 2025 shows total revenue of 2,263,210 thousand and net income of 421,592 thousand. Earnings attributable specifically to Diversified are 420,808 thousand, illustrating how the company’s income statement would appear if the Canvas and Maverick transactions had been effective from January 1, 2025.

With both transactions reflected from January 1, 2025, the pro forma combined earnings per share attributable to Diversified are $4.30 basic and $4.23 diluted. These figures are calculated using 97,882,109 basic and 99,391,014 diluted weighted average shares outstanding, incorporating the new shares issued in the acquisitions.

What interest expense changes arise from the Canvas and Maverick transactions?

For Maverick, pro forma interest expense increases by 4,238 thousand from additional revolving credit facility borrowings and related financing cost amortization. For Canvas, interest expense rises by 30,932 thousand, mainly from borrowings on a new $400 million ABS note and extra credit facility borrowings used to fund the asset acquisition.

Does Diversified Energy include synergy estimates in its pro forma financials?

No. The company states that the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are prepared under Article 11 of Regulation S-X using only transaction accounting adjustments. Management explicitly elected not to present reasonably estimable synergies, focusing instead on direct, quantifiable transaction-related effects like interest, depletion, and tax impacts.
