◦Anchored by current producing locations, current DUC and permit inventory and acquisitions

◦Includes an estimated five days, or 150 Boe/d, of down time attributable to the impact of Q1 weather events

◦Additional detail in 2021 Operational and Financial Guidance table

Robert M. (“Rob”) Roosa, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Brigham remains extremely well positioned to capitalize on the recent rebound in operator activity and positive momentum in commodity prices with all of our future production volumes unhedged. Furthermore, we enter 2021 with 721 gross DUCs (3.6 net) and 755 gross permits (4.2 net) that will drive near term production and cash flows with the majority of our DUCs anticipated to be completed by Exxon Mobil Corporation, Chevron Corporation, Occidental Petroleum Corporation, Continental Resources, Inc. and PDC Energy, Inc., who are currently running approximately 20 frac crews across our liquids rich basins. We are also continuing to gain momentum with our ground game acquisitions acquiring approximately 1,585 net royalty acres in the fourth quarter of 2020 at a cost of $5.5 million per net

location with the assets comprised of 55% PDP, DUCs and permits. That momentum has continued into the first quarter of 2021 with closed and pending transactions totaling $21.6 million at an estimated cost per net location of $6.1 million. The assets are comprised of 50% PDP, DUCs and permits that are estimated to add over 1.6 net Permian DUCs and permits to inventory. With significant liquidity at year-end, our team remains confident that we will continue to grow shareholder value through highly accretive mineral acquisitions targeting asset level IRRs close to double our cost of capital. I could not be more excited about the current position of our Company to capitalize on market conditions through organic growth, acquisitions and prudent capital management.”

Blake C. Williams, Chief Financial Officer, added, “Our strong operating and financial results allowed us to raise our dividend by 8% this quarter to $0.26 per share while also increasing our retained cash flow from 5% to 10%, which we used to internally fund approximately 9% of our fourth quarter 2020 acquisitions. With the increase in commodity prices along with our low leverage, our Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus(1) increased by 13% this quarter and our Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) returned to the mid 70% range. Throughout the energy down cycle of 2020, we successfully captured opportunities while preserving our balance sheet and maintain $124 million of liquidity headed into 2021. Furthermore, we intend to continue increasing our cash flow retention over the next several quarters to 20-25% of Discretionary Cash Flow(1) to extend our liquidity. Finally, we are pleased to showcase the differentiation our business model provides from the broader energy space through production guidance of 9,200 – 9,900 Boe/d which represents modest growth in 2021 volumes over our current production. This range incorporates an estimated impact of five days of down time due to Q1 weather events, and emphasizes our ability to return substantial capital to shareholders in any environment given our diversified, resilient asset base.”

During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company executed 30 transactions acquiring approximately 1,585 net royalty acres (standardized to a 1/8th royalty interest) and deployed $20.5 million in capital. The Company focused approximately 86% of its mineral acquisition capital in the fourth quarter towards the Permian Basin. Fourth quarter acquisitions are expected to deliver near-term production and cash flow growth with the addition of 128 gross DUCs (0.4 net DUCs) and 55 gross permits (0.1 net permits) to inventory counts.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company completed 81 transactions acquiring 4,635 net royalty acres (standardized to a 1/8th royalty interest) for $66.5 million in capital.

FINANCIAL UPDATE

Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Update

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, crude oil, natural gas and NGL production volumes were 9,361 Boe/d (72% liquids), which is flat relative to third quarter 2020. Our volumes are 3% lower than the same prior year period, largely due to a decrease in Anadarko and Williston Basin volumes, which were partially offset by a 7% increase in Permian Basin volumes.

Fourth quarter 2020 average realized prices were $40.40 per barrel of oil, $2.29 per Mcf of natural gas, and $14.11 per barrel of NGL, for a total equivalent price of $27.59 per Boe. This represents a 10% increase relative to third quarter 2020 and is 26% lower than the same prior year period level of $37.39 per Boe, excluding the effect of derivative instruments.

The Company’s net loss was $47.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, inclusive of a $49.7 million after-tax impairment of oil and gas properties resulting from the continued reduction in commodity prices as well as certain reclassification of proved undeveloped reserves to probable and possible reserves, as a result of a slowdown in operator activity. Adjusted EBITDA was $17.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, up 3% from the third quarter 2020 and down 36% from the same prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus was $17.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, up 13% from the third quarter 2020 and down 34% from the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus are non-GAAP financial measures. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA ex

lease bonus and a reconciliation to our most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, please read "Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Full Year 2020 Financial Update

For the year ended December 31, 2020, crude oil, natural gas and NGL production volumes increased 28% to 9,483 Boe/d (72% liquids) as compared to the prior year, due to a 56% increase in Permian Basin volumes.

Full year 2020 average realized prices were $37.26 per barrel of oil, $1.80 per Mcf of natural gas, and $11.61 per barrel of NGL, for a total equivalent price of $24.85 per Boe. This represents a 31% decrease relative to 2019 realized prices of $36.17 per Boe, excluding the effect of derivative instruments.

The Company’s net loss was $58.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, inclusive of a $65.1 million after-tax impairment of oil and gas properties resulting from the continued reduction in commodity prices as well as certain reclassification of proved undeveloped reserves to probable and possible reserves, as a result of a slowdown in operator activity. Adjusted EBITDA was $65.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, down 17% from the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus was $59.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, down 20% from the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus are non-GAAP financial measures. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus and a reconciliation to our most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, please read "Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $9.1 million and $115 million of capacity on its revolving credit facility, providing the Company with total liquidity of $124.1 million.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Discretionary Cash Flow and Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures used by our management and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, research analysts and others to assess the financial performance of our assets and their ability to sustain dividends over the long term without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis.

We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) before impairment of oil and gas properties, after tax, and loss on extinguishment of debt, after tax. We define Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted Net Income before depreciation, depletion and amortization, share based compensation expense, interest expense, gain or loss on derivative instruments and income tax expense, less other income, gain on sale of oil and gas properties and income tax benefit. We define Adjusted EBITDA ex lease

bonus as Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to eliminate the impacts of lease bonus revenue we receive due to the unpredictability of timing and magnitude of the revenue. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Total Revenue. We define Discretionary Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash interest expense and cash taxes. We define Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus as Discretionary Cash Flow further adjusted to eliminate the impacts of lease bonus revenue.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Discretionary Cash Flow, and Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income, income from operations, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of our financial performance. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Discretionary Cash Flow, and Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Our computation of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Discretionary Cash Flow, and Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA ex lease bonus, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Discretionary Cash Flow, and Discretionary Cash Flow ex lease bonus to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for the periods indicated.

SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES
