Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Acquisitions: The Company completed two major acquisitions in September 2025: IKAV (San Juan Basin) for ~$760M and Sabinal (Permian Basin) for ~$444M. These were funded via cash, equity issuance (49.8M units), and debt.
- Impairment Charge: A $90.4 million impairment of oil and gas properties was recorded in Q3 2025 due to the full cost ceiling test. No impairment was recorded in the prior year period.
- Debt Restructuring: In February 2025, the Company entered a New Credit Agreement ($750M initial, up to $2.0B max) to replace prior term and revolving facilities. In September 2025, the agreement was amended to increase the borrowing base by $700M and establish $450M in term loan commitments.
- Production Growth: Q3 2025 production increased 15% to 94.0 MBoe/d compared to Q3 2024, largely due to the IKAV and Sabinal acquisitions.
- Commodity Prices: Realized oil prices decreased 13% QoQ (to $64.79/Bbl), while natural gas prices increased 47% (to $2.54/Mcf).
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Capital Allocation: The Company spent ~$1.3 billion on acquisitions in the first nine months of 2025. Development costs (excluding acquisitions) were ~$174.6M for the nine-month period. The budget for the remainder of 2025 is $70M–$75M.
- Liquidity: As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $1.2 billion outstanding under the New Credit Agreement with $295.0 million remaining availability. Cash on hand was $53.6 million.
- Distributions: The Company declared a quarterly distribution of $0.27 per unit for Q3 2025, payable December 4, 2025. Total distributions for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, were $197.7 million.
- Risks: Key risks include commodity price volatility, the ability to service $1.2B in debt, integration risks from recent acquisitions, and regulatory changes. The Company is subject to a firm sales contract for natural gas at $1.72/MMBtu through 2030 resulting from the IKAV acquisition.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Impairment Drivers: Verify the specific commodity price assumptions and reserve estimates used in the Q3 2025 ceiling test that triggered the $90.4M impairment.
- Acquisition Integration: Confirm the preliminary purchase price allocation for IKAV and Sabinal, specifically the valuation of proved reserves and asset retirement obligations.
- Debt Covenants: Review the impact of the September 2025 First Amendment to the Credit Agreement on leverage ratios and borrowing base redeterminations.
- Production Volumes: Validate the 15% production increase in Q3 2025 and the contribution of new assets versus natural decline rates.
- Derivative Exposure: Assess the remaining hedged volumes (oil and gas) and fixed prices through 2029 to understand revenue protection in a volatile market.
