FANG eliminated seven risks in 2025, primarily related to the terminated Endeavor Acquisition, while adding one new risk focused on evolving privacy-related laws. The company substantively modified nine risks, including those concerning customer credit obligations, tax legislation, indebtedness, and sustainability targets, suggesting heightened focus on operational and regulatory challenges post-acquisition abandonment. The 46 unchanged risks indicate continuity in FANG's core risk exposures despite the significant strategic shift away from the Endeavor deal.
