CORRECTED: DIAMONDBACK ENERGY, INC. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2017 FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS

Midland, TX (August 1, 2017) - Diamondback Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FANG) (“Diamondback” or the “Company”) today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, corrected for a change to adjusted net income from the prior release.

HIGHLIGHTS

Q2 2017 net income of $158 million, or $1.61 per diluted share (adjusted net income of $123 million, or $1.25 per diluted share; corrected from prior released adjusted net income of $137 million, or $1.40 per diluted share)
Q2 2017 production of 77.0 Mboe/d (75% oil), up 25% over Q1 2017 (15% organic growth)
Increasing full year 2017 production guidance to 74.0 - 78.0 Mboe/d, up 5% from prior full year guidance midpoint
Lowering full year 2017 CAPEX guidance to $800 - $950 million from $800 million - $1.0 billion previously
Q2 2017 cash operating costs of $7.66/boe, including LOE of $4.14/boe, cash G&A of $0.82/boe and taxes and transportation of $2.70/boe
Lowering full year 2017 LOE guidance to $3.75 - $4.75 per boe and cash G&A to $0.75 - $1.25 per boe
Two ReWard Wolfcamp A wells had average peak 30-day flowing 2-stream initial production ("IP") rates of 191 boe/d per 1,000' (83% oil)
First completed Upper Wolfcamp A well in Pecos County had peak 30-day flowing IP rate of 219 boe/d per 1,000' (85% oil)
First completed Lower Second Bone Spring well in Pecos County had peak 30-day flowing IP rate of 190 boe/d per 1,000' (91% oil)

“Diamondback has continued to build on its strong execution track record by increasing full year production guidance while decreasing CAPEX and cash cost guidance. We believe these results continue to affirm the strength of our business plan. Today we are positioned with acreage and well locations that provide many years of visible production growth. Our growth rate is determined by returns to shareholders, without reliance on the capital markets to fund our development plan. Our balance sheet remains strong and provides us the operational flexibility to increase and decrease activity as commodity price dictates, allowing us to grow differentially within cash flow," stated Travis Stice, Chief Executive Officer of Diamondback.

Mr. Stice continued, “We are impressed with the initial operated results out of the Wolfcamp A in the Southern Delaware Basin, and are extremely excited about our initial Second Bone Spring result on our Pecos acreage, providing us another zone that can compete for capital in our current portfolio. We will continue to lower well costs in the Delaware Basin with our organization’s relentless focus on capital efficiency and full cycle economics."





OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
Diamondback’s Q2 2017 production was 77.0 Mboe/d (75% oil), up 109% year over year from 36.8 Mboe/d in Q2 2016, and up 25% quarter over quarter from 61.6 Mboe/d in Q1 2017, with 15% organic growth excluding the effect of production acquired in the Brigham transaction.

During the second quarter of 2017, Diamondback averaged eight operated rigs, drilled 34 gross horizontal wells and turned 35 operated horizontal wells to production. Operated completions consisted of 16 Lower Spraberry wells, 12 Wolfcamp A wells, five Wolfcamp B wells and two Second Bone Spring wells. In May 2017, the Company added a ninth operated rig, which began operating in the Midland Basin. Diamondback plans to maintain an eight to nine rig cadence in the current commodity price environment.

Additionally, the Company signed a long-term proppant supply agreement with a local sand provider, with first use in Diamondback wells expected in early 2018. Diamondback expects to save approximately 5% from current Midland Basin well costs by using locally sourced proppant with its current completion design.

DELAWARE BASIN OPERATIONS UPDATE
In the ReWard area, Diamondback completed its second operated Wolfcamp A well in Reeves County with a 10,252 foot lateral. The Waler State Unit 4 1WA achieved a peak 30-day flowing IP rate of 205 boe/d per 1,000' (80% oil). The Coldblood 7372 Unit 1WA, the Company's first operated Wolfcamp A well in Ward County, achieved a peak 30-day flowing IP rate of 176 boe/d per 1,000' (87% oil).

In Pecos County, the State McGary 16-1H achieved a peak 30-day flowing IP rate of 219 boe/d per 1,000' (85% oil) after commencing with a peak 24-hour IP rate of 243 boe/d per 1,000' (85% oil). Additionally, Diamondback recently completed its first operated Lower Second Bone Spring well with a 4,724 foot lateral. The Kelley State 2H achieved a peak 30-day flowing IP rate of 190 boe/d per 1,000' (91% oil). Most recently, the Company completed its first operated two-well pad targeting the Upper and Lower Wolfcamp A with an average lateral length of 7,553 feet. The State Neal Lethco 36-3201WA and State Neal Lethco 36-3202WA commenced with current average 24-hour flowing IP rates of 153 boe/d per 1,000' (89% oil) per well, with production on both wells continuing to increase.

MIDLAND BASIN OPERATIONS UPDATE
Throughout the Midland Basin, Diamondback continues to see strong performance from wells using a high-density near-wellbore completion design. In Howard County, the Company's latest four Wolfcamp A wells were completed with an average lateral length of 8,633 feet and achieved average peak 30-day rates of 203 boe/d per 1,000' (88% oil) per well.

In Andrews County, Diamondback recently conducted its first test of 500 foot inter-lateral spacing in the Lower Spraberry with encouraging results. The UL Mason East Unit 3LS, UL Mason East Unit 4LS and UL Mason East Unit 5LS wells were completed with an average lateral length of 10,234 feet and achieved an average peak 30-day IP rate of 124 boe/d per 1,000' (90% oil) per well. These results compare favorably to nearby operated Lower Spraberry completions with 660 foot inter-lateral spacing.





FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Diamondback's second quarter 2017 net income was $158 million, or $1.61 per diluted share. Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP financial measure as defined and reconciled below) was $123 million, or $1.25 per share.

On a per-unit basis, Q2 2017 cash operating costs declined 18% versus Q1 2017 costs of $9.31 per boe.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus non-cash loss (gain) on derivative instruments, net, interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, non-cash equity-based compensation expense, capitalized equity-based compensation expense, asset retirement obligation accretion expense and income tax provision. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income (loss) as determined by United States’ generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows it to more effectively evaluate the Company’s operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. The Company adds the items listed above to net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within its industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income (loss) attributable to Diamondback Energy, Inc. plus non-cash (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net, (gain) loss on the sale of assets, net, other income, impairment of oil and gas properties and related income tax adjustments. The Company’s computations of Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies or to such measure in our credit facility or any of our other contracts.
The following tables present a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measure of net income.
