Key Financial Metrics

Note: Working capital deficit excludes commodity derivatives. Cash and cash equivalents were $0 as of June 30, 2025.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline: YTD revenues decreased 10% compared to 2024, driven by lower oil production volumes and a decrease in "Other revenues" due to the absence of a $4.8 million revenue suspense release recorded in Q2 2024.
• Profitability Improvement: The company reported a net income of $0.5 million for the first six months of 2025, a significant improvement from the $2.3 million net loss in the same period in 2024.
• Impairment Charge: An impairment expense of $8.4 million was recorded in Q2 2025 related to the planned divestiture of non-operated Eagle Ford assets. No impairment was recorded in the prior year period.
• Derivative Gains: The company recognized a net gain of $22.2 million on commodity derivatives in Q2 2025, compared to a loss of $1.2 million in Q2 2024. This was driven by a $17.4 million increase in the fair value of open positions.
• Cost Increases: Lease operating expenses increased to $22.20 per Boe in Q2 2025 from $19.70 in Q2 2024, primarily due to higher electricity costs at the Bairoil asset.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Strategic Divestitures: On July 1, 2025, the company sold its non-operated Eagle Ford assets for $23.0 million. On July 22, 2025, the company engaged an advisor to explore the complete divestiture of its East Texas and Oklahoma assets.
• Leadership Transition: Effective July 22, 2025, Martyn Willsher stepped down as CEO and President. Daniel Furbee was appointed CEO, and James Frew was appointed President and CFO.
• Merger Termination: The contemplated merger with Juniper Capital was terminated in April 2025. The company incurred approximately $3.4 million in professional fees and paid $0.8 million to the acquired companies.
• Liquidity and Covenants: The company had a working capital deficit of $23.2 million (excluding derivatives) and a current ratio of 0.90:1.00 as of June 30, 2025, which was below the 1.00:1.00 covenant requirement. A waiver was obtained from lenders on July 31, 2025. The borrowing base was reduced to $135.0 million following the Eagle Ford sale.
• Operational Risks: Ongoing legal and insurance matters related to the Beta pipeline incident continue, with $0.6 million in non-reimbursable expenses incurred YTD 2025.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Covenant Compliance: Verify the status of the current ratio waiver and the impact of the reduced borrowing base ($135M) on future liquidity and capital expenditure flexibility.
• Divestiture Proceeds: Confirm the closing and final net proceeds from the Eagle Ford asset sale and the timeline for the potential East Texas/Oklahoma divestiture.
• Derivative Exposure: Review the specific terms of the commodity hedging portfolio, noting the significant unrealized gains recognized in Q2 2025 and their impact on future earnings volatility.
• Cost Structure: Monitor the sustainability of the increased lease operating expenses ($22.20/Boe) and the impact of electricity costs on margins.
• Leadership Stability: Assess the integration of the new executive team and the strategic direction under the new CEO.
