Substantial Hedge Position
Well-hedged for next several quarters
Structure of oil hedges retains full upside exposure to higher oil prices
(1) When NYMEX price is above put price, Parsley receives the NYMEX price. When NYMEX price is between the put price and the short put price, Parsley receives the put price. When NYMEX price is below the short put price, Parsley receives the NYMEX price plus the difference between the short put price and the put price; (2) Premium realizations represent net premiums collected (from rolled down positions) or paid (including deferred premiums), which are recognized as income or loss in the period of settlement; (3) Functions similarly to put spreads except that when index price is at or above the call price, Parsley receives the call price

Forward Looking Statements and Cautionary StatementsForward-Looking StatementsThe information in this presentation includes “forward-looking statements” that are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements,other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans andobjectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this presentation, the words “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project” and similar expressionsare intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on Parsley Energy, Inc.’s(“Parsley Energy,” “Parsley,” or the “Company”) current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of futureevents. We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident tothe exploration for and development, production, gathering and sale of oil and natural gas. These risks include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility, inflation, lack of availability of drillingand production equipment and services, environmental risks, drilling and other operating risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating reserves and in projecting future rates ofproduction, the production potential of our undeveloped acreage, cash flow and access to capital, the timing of development expenditures and the risk factors discussed in or referenced in our filingswith the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim anyduty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation.
Our production forecasts and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells and the undertaking and outcomeof future drilling activity, which may be affected by significant commodity price declines or cost increases.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresAdjusted EBITDAX and adjusted net income or loss are financial measures that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the appendix to this presentation.
Industry and Market DataThis presentation has been prepared by Parsley and includes market data and other statistical information from third-party sources, including independent industry publications, government publicationsor other published independent sources. Although Parsley believes these third-party sources are reliable as of their respective dates, Parsley has not independently verified the accuracy or completenessof this information. Some data are also based on the Parsley’s good faith estimates, which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the third-party sources described above.
Oil & Gas ReservesThis presentation provides disclosure of Parsley’s proved reserves, which are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonablecertainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions (using unweighted average 12-month first day of the month prices),operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless ofwhether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation.
In this presentation, proved reserves attributable to Parsley as of 12/31/15 are estimated utilizing SEC reserve recognition standards and pricing assumptions based on SEC pricing of $46.79 / Bbl crude,$2.501 / MMBtu gas, and adjusted realized pricing of $46.54 / Bbl crude, $16.42 / Bbl NGL, and $2.531 / Mcf residue gas. References to our estimated proved reserves as of 12/31/15 are derived fromour proved reserve report prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (“NSAI”).
We may use the term “expected ultimate recoveries” (“EURs”) or other descriptions of volumes of reserves, which terms include quantities of oil and gas that may not meet the SEC’s definitions ofproved, probable and possible reserves, and which the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit Parsley from including in filings with the SEC. Unless otherwise stated in this presentation, such estimates havebeen prepared internally by our engineers and management without review by independent engineers. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved, probable andpossible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized, particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history. We include theseestimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the Company. Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from ourproperties will differ substantially. In addition, we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations. Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actualencountered geological conditions, the impact of future oil and gas pricing, exploration and development costs, and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk,returns and the availability of capital and, in many areas, the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases. Our estimates may changesignificantly as development of our properties provides additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates. Our related expectationsfor future periods are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells, the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that maybe affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases.
Unless otherwise noted, Net Present Value (“NPV”) estimates are before taxes and assume the Company generated EUR and decline curve estimates based on Company drilling and completion costestimates that do not include facilities, land, seismic, general and administrative (“G&A”) or other corporate level costs.
