• Q1 2026 Financial Results

  Reported a net loss of $38.1 million for the first quarter, primarily due to a $43.4 million non-cash unrealized loss on commodity derivatives. Adjusted Net Income was $5.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $3.8 million.

• Significant Beta Field Royalty Relief

  Secured royalty relief at its Beta field, reducing the royalty burden from approximately 25.0% to 12.5% effective May 1, 2026. This is expected to increase net production by over 600 barrels of oil per day and generate more than $1.0 million per month in incremental revenue.

• Operational Updates and Drilling Program

  Completed the C04 well at Beta with a peak IP30 of 500 Bopd, expected to pay out in approximately six months. However, the C32 well was abandoned due to mechanical complications, delaying the completion of initial wells to early Q3 2026, though royalty relief is expected to offset this impact.

• Reaffirmed Full-Year Guidance & Strong Liquidity

  Reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance, expecting Adjusted EBITDA to be at the high end of the range due to higher commodity prices. The company reported $41.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding debt under its revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2026.

This operational improvement, coupled with a strong liquidity position and no outstanding debt, provides a positive outlook despite the headline net loss.
