This Form 6-K filing reports the consolidated financial results for GeoPark Limited for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

The quarter marked the seamless takeover of the Vaca Muerta operation following the acquisition closing on October 16, 2025.

- Debt: Net debt of $373.4 million with a leverage ratio of 1.2x.
Material Changes vs. Prior Periods
Compared to the second quarter of 2025, revenue increased due to higher production volumes, while realized prices remained stable ($57.1/bbl vs. $57.4/bbl). Net profit improved significantly from a loss in 2Q2025, driven by operational efficiency and the exclusion of a non-recurring impairment charge recorded in the prior quarter. However, compared to 3Q2024, revenue and Adjusted EBITDA declined due to lower realized oil prices and reduced production volumes following asset divestments and natural decline in core blocks.
Notable one-time items in 3Q2025 include a $7.5 million write-off of unsuccessful exploration costs in the Putumayo Basin and a $1.5 million gain from commodity risk management contracts.
Guidance, Outlook, and Strategic Updates
- Strategic Plan: GeoPark outlined a long-term plan targeting 42,000–46,000 boepd production and $520–550 million Adjusted EBITDA by 2030, with a net leverage target of 0.8–1.0x.
- Dividend Program: The Board approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share ($1.5 million per quarter) for the next four quarters, commencing with the 3Q2025 payout. Dividends are scheduled to be suspended starting 3Q2026 to fund peak investment in Vaca Muerta.
- Debt Management: The Company repurchased $33.0 million of its 2030 Notes in the quarter, achieving annual coupon savings of $2.9 million.
- Hedging: Approximately 62% of 2026 production is hedged via 3-way collars with floors at $65/bbl and $50/bbl, and an average ceiling of $73/bbl.
- M&A Activity: A Special Committee of independent directors has been formed to evaluate a revised offer from Parex Resources and other value-maximizing alternatives, following the rejection of a previous $9.00 per share proposal.
