The deal adds meaningful operational scale and synergies, which will build on Colgate’s track record of successful, low-cost execution and adds high-quality inventory directly offset Colgate’s successful legacy development in Reeves and Ward Counties.

It allows both Colgate and Luxe stakeholders to take advantage of increased scale while generating substantial free cash flow. This transaction enhances our already best-in-class balance sheet and puts us in a position of strength as we look to opportunistically pursue further consolidation,” James Walter, co-CEO of Colgate, said.
