Crescent Energy Closes Transformative Acquisition of SilverBow Resources

Company to report second quarter financial and operating results August 5th

Crescent Energy Company (NYSE: CRGY) ("Crescent" or the "Company"), today announced the closing of its acquisition of SilverBow Resources, Inc. (“SilverBow”). The transaction was closed ahead of schedule, and Crescent plans to provide pro forma second half 2024 guidance reflecting the acquisition, as well as issue its second quarter 2024 financial and operating results, after market close on August 5, 2024. A conference call is planned for August 6, 2024.

The SilverBow integration is well underway with approximately $35 million of the previously announced $65 $100 million in annual synergies captured to date through an improved cost of capital resulting in reduced interest expense.

Crescent Energy is a leading growth through acquisition company primed for sustainable value creation with a focused portfolio of high-quality and long-life assets, an attractive, returns-driven financial framework and strong balance sheet, led by a management team executing on the same strategy for more than a decade. The combined portfolio of assets positions the company for substantial free cash flow generation with balanced and attractive exposure to commodity price upside.
