IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
This presentation contains projections and other forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These projections and statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance as of this date. No assurances can be given, however, that these events will occur or that these projections will be achieved, and actual results could differ materially from those projected as a result of certain factors. For a summary of events that may affect the accuracy of these projections and forward-looking statements, see “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms, and price and cost sensitivities for such reserves, and prohibits disclosure of resources that do not constitute such
filings with the SEC. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves, and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being realized by the Company. EUR estimates and potential horizontal well locations have not been risked by the Company. Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from the Company’s interest may differ substantially from the Company’s estimates. There is no commitment by the Company to drill all of the potential horizontal drilling locations. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of the Company’s ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drilling and completion services and equipment, drilling results, commodity price levels, lease expirations, regulatory approval and actual drilling results, as well as geological and mechanical factors. Estimates of type/decline curves and per-well EURs may change significantly as development of the Company’s oil and gas assets provides additional data. Type/decline curves, estimated EURs, recovery factors and well costs represent Company estimates based on evaluation of petrophysical analysis, core data and well logs, well performance from existing drilling and recompletion results and seismic data, and have not been reviewed by independent engineers. These are presented as hypothetical recoveries if assumptions and estimates regarding recoverable hydrocarbons, recovery factors and costs prove correct. As a result, such estimates may change significantly as results from more wells are evaluated. Estimates of EURs do not constitute reserves, but constitute estimates of contingent resources that the SEC has determined are too speculative to include in SEC filings. Unless otherwise noted, Internal Rate of Return (or “IRR”) and Net Present Value (or “NPV”) estimates are before taxes and assume Company- generated EUR and decline curve estimates based on Company drilling and completion cost estimates that do not include land, seismic, G&A or
Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 10-K and other reports filed with the SEC, available on our website or by request by contacting Investor Relations: Callon Petroleum Company, 1401 Enclave Parkway, Suite 600, Houston, TX 77077. You may also email the Company at ir@callon.com.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe that the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted income available to common shareholders (“Adjusted Income”) and Adjusted Income per diluted share are useful to investors because they provide readers with a meaningful measure of our profitability before recording certain items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably
provided below. Prior to being tax-effected and excluded, the amounts reflected in the determination of Adjusted income and Adjusted income per diluted share below were computed in accordance with GAAP. 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. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, exploration expense, (gains) losses on derivative instruments excluding net cash receipts (payments) on settled derivative instruments and premiums paid for put options that settled during the period, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, non-cash equity based compensation, asset retirement obligation accretion expense, other income, gains and losses from the sale of assets and other non-cash operating items. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles (‘‘GAAP’’). Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows it to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period and against our peers without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our 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 as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our 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. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.. Adjusted general and administrative expense (“Adjusted G&A”) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain non-recurring expenses and non-cash valuation adjustments related to incentive compensation plans. We believe that the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted G&A is useful to investors because it provides readers with a meaningful measure of our recurring G&A expense and provides for greater comparability period-over-period. The table below details all adjustments to G&A on a GAAP basis to arrive at Adjusted G&A. We believe that the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted income available to common shareholders (“Adjusted Income”) and Adjusted Income per diluted share are useful to investors because they provide readers with a meaningful measure of our profitability before recording certain items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably
provided below. Prior to being tax-effected and excluded, the amounts reflected in the determination of Adjusted Income and Adjusted Income per diluted share below were computed in accordance with GAAP.
Certain Reserve Information
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors: The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) prohibits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, from disclosing estimates of oil or gas resources other than “reserves,” as that term is defined by the SEC. This presentation discloses estimates of quantities of oil and gas using certain terms, such as “resource potential,” “net recoverable resource potential,” “resource base,” “estimated ultimate recovery,” “EUR” or other descriptions of volumes of reserves, which terms include quantities of oil and gas that may not meet the SEC’s definitions of proved, probable and possible reserves, and which the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit the Company from including in filings with the SEC. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being recovered by the Company. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC. Such filings are available from the Company at 1401 Enclave Pkwy, Ste 600, Houston, TX 77077, Attention: Investor Relations, and the Company’s website at www.callon.com. These filings also can be obtained from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
