Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” will,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “pursue,” “target,” “outlook,” “continue” the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. All statements, other than historical facts included in this presentation, that address activities, events or developments that WildHorse Resource Development Corporation (WRD) expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future and such things as WRD’s future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), business strategy and measures to implement strategy, competitive strengths, goals, expansion and growth of WRD’s business and operations, plans, market conditions, references to future success, references to intentions as to future matters and other such matters are forward-looking statements. All forward looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. Although WRD believes that the plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there is no assurance that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. Therefore, actual outcomes and results could materially differ from what is expressed, implied or forecast in such statements. WRD cautions you that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond WRD’s control, incident to the exploration for and development, production, gathering and sale of natural gas and oil. These risks include, but are not limited to: commodity price volatility; inflation; lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services; environmental risks; drilling and other operating risks; regulatory changes; the uncertainty inherent in estimating natural gas and oil reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital; and the timing of development expenditures. Information concerning these and other factors can be found in WRD’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including its Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this presentation are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurances that the actual results or developments anticipated by WRD will be realized, or even if realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on WRD, its business or operations. WRD has no intention, and disclaims any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future results or otherwise. Initial production rates subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels.

Net Locations

Deep Inventory of Economic Locations

1. As of May 11, 2017, we identified 3,299 net horizontal drilling locations. The locations were specifically identified by management as an estimation of our multi-year drilling activities based on evaluation of applicable geologic and engineering data. We have estimated our drilling locations based on well spacing assumptions and upon the evaluation of our horizontal drilling results and those of other operators across our acreage, combined with our interpretation of available geologic and engineering data. The drilling locations on which we actually drill will depend on the availability of capital, regulatory approval, commodity prices, costs, actual drilling results and other factors. Of our 3,299 estimated drilling locations, 201, 342 and 1,156 are associated with proved, probable and possible reserves as of December 31, 2016. Accordingly, 1,599 of these locations do not have any reserves assigned to them which includes 949 locations associated with the Acquisition. There are no assurances that these locations will perform like we expect. All of our assumptions with respect to our drilling locations, including estimated ultimate recoveries, expected costs to drill and complete, internal rates of return and economic break-even prices are speculative in nature and may prove to be inaccurate.

WildHorse regional location provides lower operating costs and better realized pricing due to proximity to demand centers for oil, natural gas and NGLs

• Low basis differentials along the Gulf Coast represent competitive advantage when compared to other plays

Sufficient pipeline take-away capacity decreases risk of midstream bottleneck

Potential upside to develop an integrated midstream system to service Eagle Ford assets

Geology matters:

• Gas to oil ratio

• Clay content

• Oil gravity

• Pore pressure – geopressure of ~0.75 Psi / Ft

The Eagle Ford is a Cretaceous sediment where the formation’s carbonate content can exceed 70% in WildHorse’s position

Gross Eagle Ford thickness ranges from over 100’ to greater than 400’ across the acreage position

Thickness allows greater potential for stacked / staggered development opportunities in both the Eagle Ford and the Chalk

Clay content increases in the Northeast portion of the play in Brazos and Madison counties

Rich carbonate content and lower clay content allow more effective hydraulic fracturing

Note: WRD location counts for APC / KKR and CWEI acquisitions based on 500’ spacing and include only net locations located in the 91 Boe/ft type curve area. Permian and SCOOP / STACK represent average of transactions from 1/1/2016 to 3/31/2017 based on Company Investor Presentations, Company Filings and published reports. 1. Purchase Price adjusted for production at $40,000 Boe/d. 2. SCOOP/STACK net location count is based on limited transaction comps given the lack of location disclosures in Anadarko Basin transactions. In addition, net locations may vary significantly across commodity mix windows and intervals.

This presentation and accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDAX. The accompanying schedule provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. WRD's non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as Net Income, operating income, net cash flows provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. WRD's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate such measures in the same manner as WRD does.

Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-GAAP financial measure. We evaluate performance based on Adjusted EBITDAX. Adjusted EBITDAX is defined as net income (loss), plus interest expense; debt extinguishment costs; income tax expense; depreciation, depletion and amortization; impairment of goodwill and long-lived properties; accretion of asset retirement obligations; losses on commodity derivative contracts and cash settlements received; losses on sale of properties; stock-based compensation; incentive-based compensation expenses; exploration costs; provision for environmental remediation; transaction related costs; IPO related expenses; and other non-routine items, less interest income; income tax benefit; gains on commodity derivative contracts and cash settlements paid; gains on sale of assets and other non-routine items.

The following table presents WRD’s second quarter of 2017 and 2016 EBITDAX to the most comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP:

Cautionary Statements and Additional Disclosures

This presentation has been prepared by WildHorse and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by WildHorse to be reliable, including independent industry publications, government publications or other published independent sources. Some data is also based on WildHorse’s good faith estimates, which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described herein. Although WildHorse believes these sources are reliable, it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness. PV-10 and 3P Reserves PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents the period-end present value of estimated future cash inflows from WRD’s natural gas and crude oil reserves, less future development and production costs, discounted at 10% per annum to reflect timing of future cash flows and using SEC pricing assumptions in effect at the end of the period. SEC pricing for oil and natural gas of $42.75 per Bbl and $2.48 per MMBtu; $43.12 per Bbl and $2.24 per MMBtu; and $50.28 per Bbl and $2.59 MMBtu was based on the unweighted average of the first-day-of-the-month prices for each of the twelve months preceding December 2016, June 2016, and December 2015, respectively. PV-10 differs from standardized measure, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because it does not include the effects of income taxes. Moreover, GAAP does not provide a measure of estimated future net cash flows for reserves other than proved reserves. Because PV-10 estimates of probable and possible reserves are more uncertain than PV-10 and standardized estimates of proved reserves, but have not been adjusted for risk due to that uncertainty, they may not be comparable with each other. Nonetheless, WRD believes that PV-10 estimates for reserve categories other than proved present useful information for investors about the future net cash flows of its reserves in the absence of a comparable GAAP measure such as standardized measure. Because of this, PV-10 can be used within the industry and by creditors and securities analysts to evaluate estimated net cash flows from reserves on a more comparable basis. The following table provides a reconciliation of PV-10 of WRD’s proved reserves to the Standardized Measure of discounted future net cash flows at December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014: Neither PV-10 nor standardized measure represents an estimate of fair market value of WRD’s natural gas and oil properties. WRD and others in the industry use PV-10 as a measure to compare the relative size and value of estimated reserves held by companies without regard to the specific tax characteristics of such entities. The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserve estimates (collectively, “3P”). WildHorse has provided estimates for proved, probable and possible reserves within this presentation in accordance with SEC guidelines and definitions. The estimates for proved, probable and possible reserves as of December 31, 2016 have been prepared by WildHorse’s internal reserve engineers and audited by Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc. (“CGA”), WildHorse’s independent reserve engineers.

Cautionary Statements and Additional Disclosures

WRD has provided summations of its proved, probable and possible reserves and summations of its PV-10 for its proved, probable and possible reserves in this presentation. The SEC strictly prohibits companies from aggregating proved, probable and possible reserves in filings with the SEC due to the different levels of certainty associated with each reserve category. Investors should be cautioned that estimates of PV-10 of probable reserves, as well as the underlying volumetric estimates, are inherently more uncertain of being recovered and realized than comparable measures for proved reserves, and that the uncertainty for possible reserves is even more significant. Further, because estimates of probable and possible reserve volumes have not been adjusted for risk due to this uncertainty of recovery, their summation may be of limited use. Actual quantities that may be ultimately recovered from WildHorse’s interests may differ substantially from the estimates in this presentation. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of WildHorse’s ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by commodity prices, the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drilling services and equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals and other factors, and actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates. “EUR” or “Estimated Ultimate Recovery,” when referring to a currently producing well, refers to the sum of total gross remaining proved reserves attributable to each location in WildHorse’s reserve report and cumulative sales from such location. EUR is shown on a combined basis for oil/condensates, gas and NGLs after the effects of processing. These quantities do not necessarily constitute or represent reserves within the meaning of the Society of Petroleum Engineers Petroleum Resource Management System or the SEC’s rules. Management Locations WRD has disclosed net horizontal drilling locations in this press release in the proved, probable, and possible categories as audited by CG&A as well as 1,599 drilling locations that have been identified by WRD’s management including 949 locations associated with the Acquisition. WRD identified those additional locations using the same methodology as those locations to which probable and possible reserves are attributed—by using existing geologic and engineering data from vertical production and seismic data. Of those 3,299 net horizontal drilling locations, 1,700 lie within the geographic areas to which proved, probable and possible reserves are attributed. The remaining 1,599 management identified net horizontal drilling locations are within geographic areas to which proved, probable or possible reserves are not attributed, but nonetheless are locations that WRD has specifically identified based on its evaluation of applicable geologic and engineering data accrued over our multi-year historical drilling activities in the surrounding area. The locations have been identified by WRD’s management based on its evaluation of applicable geologic and engineering data from historical drilling activities in the surrounding area. The locations on which WRD actually drills wells will ultimately depend upon the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, seasonal restrictions, oil and natural gas prices, costs, actual drilling results and other factors, and may differ from the locations currently identified.

Cash General and Administrative Expenses per Boe Our presentation of cash general and administrative ("G&A") expenses per Boe is a non-GAAP measure. We define cash G&A per Boe as total G&A determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP less non-cash equity compensation expenses, expressed on a per-Boe basis. We report and provide guidance on cash G&A per Boe because we believe this measure is commonly used by management, analysts and investors as an indicator of cost management and operating efficiency on a comparable basis from period to period. In addition, management believes cash G&A per Boe is used by analysts and others in valuation, comparison and investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas industry to allow for analysis of G&A spend without regard to stock-based compensation programs which can vary substantially from company to company. Cash G&A per Boe should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, total G&A per Boe as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Calculation of Net Debt Net Debt is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by external users of WRD’s financial statements. We define Net Debt as total debt minus cash and cash equivalents. We believe Net Debt is useful to investors because it provides readers with a more meaningful measure of our outstanding indebtedness. However, this measure is provided in addition to, not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
