Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent asset and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the event estimates and/or assumptions prove to be different from actual amounts, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents $ 310,655  $ 281,046 
Tax like-kind exchange escrow 1,978  1,978 
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows $ 312,633  $ 283,024 

Reclassifications

Certain financial information on the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 have been revised to conform to the current year presentation. These revisions include a reclassification of $12.5 million of produced water royalties revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 previously included in easements and other surface-related income to a separate financial statement line item within revenues.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, hybrid taxes and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2021. The adoption had minimal impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
