Quarter and full-year results

  • Net income lifted by divestiture gain: Fourth quarter net income was $64.4 million against a $21.0 million loss in the third quarter, mainly from the gain on East Texas and Oklahoma sales. Adjusted net loss was $10.4 million. Source
  • Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow rose: Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $21.5 million and free cash flow $2.0 million, against $20.3 million and negative $0.7 million in the third quarter. Source
  • Full-year 2025 cash flow was negative: Full-year 2025 net income was $44.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA $80.2 million. Free cash flow was negative $16.1 million, and management said future performance will vary from prior periods. Source

Beta and Bairoil operations

  • Beta output fell on planned shut-in: Beta production was about 6% lower than the third quarter, mainly from a planned shut-in to upgrade a subsea flowline between Platforms Eureka and Elly. Beta and Bairoil averaged 6.6 MBopd. Source
  • Bairoil volumes lower, profit higher: Bairoil production was about 5% lower after the CO2 compression optimization project. Management said the asset was more profitable because of lower power costs. Source
  • Joulters wells steady, Main mixed: Joulters wells averaged a 680 Bopd IP30 and 862-foot laterals. Main fault block results were less consistent, including well C61 at 170 Bopd IP30 after an unexpected fault. Source

“These transactions have enabled us to eliminate debt and build a strong cash position, giving us greater financial flexibility and a sharper focus on the opportunities that drive meaningful growth.”

Dan Furbee, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer

Pricing and realizations

  • Oil price with derivatives $63.10: Oil realized $54.18 per Bbl before derivatives and $63.10 with realized derivatives, against $60.72 and $64.80 in the third quarter. Realized oil derivatives added $8.92 per Bbl. Source

  • Gathering costs per Boe fell: GP&T was $3.5 million, or $2.25 per Boe, against $2.89 per Boe in the third quarter. Management expects lower GP&T costs after the East Texas and Oklahoma divestitures. Source
  • Cash G&A fell on reclassification: Cash G&A was $5.1 million, down from $6.7 million, mainly because certain accrued expenses were reclassed as severance. Total G&A expense was $18.3 million. Source
  • Taxes and interest in quarter: Severance and ad valorem taxes were $3.5 million, about 6.5% of revenue. Net interest expense was $4.6 million, and 2026 interest is expected to be significantly lower after the credit facility repayment. Source
