Financial Results for the Three Months
Ended June 30, 2022
Revenues in the second quarter of 2022 totaled
$604.0 million (including realized hedging losses of $257.4
million). Net cash provided by operating activities (excluding
changes in working capital) generated in the second quarter was
$457.9 million, and net income available to common stockholders for
the second quarter of 2022 was $372.5 million or $1.36 per share.
Reported net income in the quarter included a pre-tax $184.5
million unrealized gain on hedging contracts held for risk
management and a $46.8 million loss on early retirement of senior
notes in the quarter. Excluding these items and certain other
items, adjusted net income available to common stockholders for the
second quarter of 2022 was $273.6 million, or $1.00 per diluted
share.
Comstock's production cost per Mcfe in the
second quarter averaged $0.74 per Mcfe, which was comprised of
$0.30 for gathering and transportation costs, $0.20 for lease
operating costs, $0.18 for production and other taxes and $0.06 for
cash general and administrative expenses. Production cost was $0.69
per Mcfe in the first quarter of 2022 and $0.59 in the second
quarter of 2021. The increase is due to higher production taxes
resulting from higher natural gas prices in the quarter. Comstock's
unhedged operating margin was 89% in the second quarter of 2022 and
85% after hedging.
Financial Results for the Six Months
Ended June 30, 2022

stockholders was $256.8 million or $0.96 per share. Net income
during the first six months of 2022 included a pre-tax $135.8
million unrealized loss on hedging contracts held for risk
management and a $46.8 million loss on early retirement of debt.
Excluding these items and certain other items, adjusted net income

2022 was $409.4 million or $1.50 per diluted share.
Comstock's production cost per Mcfe during the
six months ended June 30, 2022 averaged $0.71 per Mcfe, which was

months of 2022 and 83% after hedging.
Drilling Results
Comstock drilled 18 (16.5 net) operated
horizontal Haynesville/Bossier shale wells in the second quarter of
2022 which had an average lateral length of 9,924 feet. The Company
also participated in an additional 13 (1.9 net) non-operated
Haynesville shale wells in the second quarter of 2022. Comstock
turned 16 (14.4 net) wells to sales in the second quarter of 2022
and currently expects to turn an additional 14 (13.2 net) wells to
sales in the third quarter of 2022.
Since its last operational update in May,
Comstock has turned 14 (12.6 net) new operated Haynesville/Bossier
shale wells to sales. These wells had initial daily production
rates that averaged 26 MMcf per day. The completed lateral length
of these wells averaged 9,577 feet. Included in the reported
drilling results was Comstock's successful Circle M well drilled in
Robertson County, Texas in the Western Haynesville area. The well
was completed with a 7,900 foot lateral and was tested at 37 MMcf
per day.
During the second quarter, Comstock completed an
acquisition which included approximately 60,000 net acres
prospective for the Haynesville and Bossier shale in East Texas, a
145 mile high pressure natural gas pipeline and a natural gas
treating plant for $35.6 million.
Natural Gas Certification
Comstock announced it has achieved certification
for its operated natural gas production under the MiQ standard for
methane emissions measurement and management. The MiQ Standard
scores production, based on how well operators deploy integrated
technologies to detect, measure, and abate emissions while also
including a detailed assessment of policies and work practices that
evaluate an operator's preparedness to prevent future methane
emissions. The certification highlights Comstock's ongoing
commitment to produce natural gas under strict environmental
standards and deliver differentiated, independently certified gas
based on methane intensity to both domestic and international
markets. Comstock received the certification in June 2022 and the
first block of the Company's certified natural gas is available for
trading. The certificates, which can be traded bundled (combined
with natural gas delivery) or unbundled, will be available on MiQ's
Digital Registry in the coming weeks. The certification covers all
the Company's facilities in North Louisiana and East Texas, which
currently produce approximately 2.0 billion cubic feet per day of
natural gas.

(1) Adjusted net income available to common
stockholders is presented because of its acceptance by investors
and by Comstock management as an indicator of the Company's
profitability excluding loss on early retirement of debt, non-cash
unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments,
gains and losses on sales of assets and other unusual items.
(2) Adjusted net income available to common
stockholders per share is calculated to include the dilutive
effects of unvested restricted stock pursuant to the two-class
method and performance stock units and preferred stock pursuant to
the treasury stock method.
(3) Includes realized gains or
losses from interest rate derivative financial instruments.
(4) Adjusted EBITDAX is
presented in the earnings release because management believes that
adjusted EBITDAX, which represents Comstock's results from
operations before interest, income taxes, and certain non-cash
items, including loss on early retirement of debt, depreciation,
depletion and amortization and exploration expense, is a common
alternative measure of operating performance used by certain
investors and financial analysts.

presented in the earnings release because management believes it to
be useful to investors as a common alternative measure of cash
flows which excludes changes to other working capital accounts.
(2) Free cash flow from
operations and free cash flow after acquisition and divestiture
activity are presented in the earnings release because management
believes them to be useful indicators of the Company's ability to
internally fund acquisitions and debt maturities after exploration
and development capital expenditures, preferred dividend payments,
proved and unproved property acquisitions, and proceeds from
divestiture of oil and gas properties.
