RESERVES
Estimates of Riley Permian’s proved reserves as of December 31, 2025, were prepared by Ryder Scott Company, L.P., the Company’s third-party reservoir engineer, using the SEC pricing methodology. Proved reserves at year-end 2025 of 147 MMBoe increased by 24 MMBoe or 19% over year-end 2024 reserves. Oil represented 50% of total proved reserves. Proved developed producing reserves (“PDP”) increased by 13% to 87 MMBoe, which represented 59% of total proved reserves. Proved undeveloped reserves (“PUD”) increased by 29% to 61 MMBoe, when compared to year-end 2024. At December 31, 2025, the standardized measure of discounted cash flows and PV-10 were $1.14 billion and $1.39 billion, respectively.
The net proved reserve additions resulted in a reserve replacement ratio (defined as the sum of extensions and discoveries, revisions, acquisitions and divestitures, divided by annual production) of 323% for the year ended December 31, 2025. The organic reserve replacement ratio (defined as the sum of extensions and discoveries and revisions, divided by annual production) was 230%.
(1)A non-GAAP financial measure as defined and reconciled in the supplemental financial tables available on the Company’s website at www.rileypermian.com.
Extensions and discoveries were the primary contributor to the increase in reserves of 24 MMBoe, which consisted of 23 MMBoe added to PUDs as a result of drilling activity during the year, which allowed for the booking of adjacent PUDs for locations that were previously booked as unproved reserves or not at all, and 1 MMBoe added to PDP as a result of drilling successful wells that were previously classified as unproved locations. The Company also acquired 11 MMBoe in reserves and divested 1 MMBoe. The Company had production of 11 MMBoe and positive revisions of previous estimates of 1 MMBoe.

OIL, NATURAL GAS AND NGL RESERVES
Estimates of Riley Permian’s proved reserves as of December 31, 2025, were prepared by Ryder Scott Company, L.P. (“Ryder Scott”), the Company’s third-party reservoir engineer. Estimates of proved reserves were prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC using an average price equal to the unweighted arithmetic average of the first day of each month within the 12-month period ended December 31, 2025, of $65.34 per Bbl for oil and $3.39 per Mcf for gas. Additionally, the Company prepared estimates of proved reserves as of December 31, 2025, using NYMEX pricing, which were not reviewed by Ryder Scott.
