• Revenue Up 12% Sequentially

  Q2 2026 revenue reached $143.3 million, driven by higher Brent prices ($96.9/bbl) and narrower Vasconia differentials, yielding a combined realized price of $67.2/boe.

• Adjusted EBITDA Stable at $73.1M

  Adjusted EBITDA of $73.1 million (51% margin) held nearly flat versus Q1 despite a $3.2/boe increase in operating costs, reflecting strong price realizations.

• Vaca Muerta Capex Accelerates

  Capital expenditures surged to $76.4 million, with 64% ($49.1M) allocated to Argentina — primarily drilling, completions, and infrastructure in Vaca Muerta — signaling faster-than-expected execution.

A solid quarter saw revenue rise 12% sequentially to $143.3 million, lifted by stronger Brent prices and narrower differentials. Adjusted EBITDA held steady at $73.1 million even as operating costs ticked higher. The standout, however, is the faster-than-expected ramp in Vaca Muerta — capital expenditures jumped to $76.4 million, with 64% directed to Argentina, underscoring the company's aggressive push on its largest organic growth program. With $316 million in cash and net leverage of just 1.2x, the balance sheet provides ample runway. Governance changes — a streamlined committee structure and new board leadership — add a layer of oversight as spending accelerates.
