Key Financial Metrics (Six Months Ended June 30, 2026)

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total operating revenues increased 39% to $15.5 billion compared to $11.1 billion in the same period of 2025. This was driven by a 36% increase in production sales revenue, primarily due to higher crude oil prices and increased volumes.
• Profitability: Net income more than doubled, rising 68% to $4.7 billion from $2.8 billion year-over-year. Operating income increased 70% to $6.1 billion.
• Production Volumes: Total production increased significantly. Crude oil and condensate volumes rose 9% (to 548.6 MBbld), and natural gas volumes increased 42% (to 3,055 MMcfd), largely attributed to the Utica play and Permian Basin.
• Commodity Prices: The composite crude oil price increased 24% to $85.38 per barrel, while the composite natural gas price increased 5% to $3.32 per Mcf.
• Cost Structure: Total operating expenses increased 25% to $9.4 billion, reflecting higher production volumes and increased gathering/processing costs. However, costs per barrel of oil equivalent (Boe) remained relatively stable at $20.73 compared to $20.93 in the prior year.

Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary

• Capital Plan: EOG estimates full-year 2026 capital expenditures to range between $6.3 billion and $6.7 billion. The company plans to focus on high-return plays in the Delaware Basin, Utica, and Eagle Ford.
• Production Outlook: Management expects full-year 2026 oil production to increase approximately 5% and total production (oil, NGLs, gas) to increase approximately 14% compared to 2025.
• Shareholder Returns: EOG maintains a commitment to return a minimum of 70% of annual net cash provided by operating activities (less capital expenditures) to shareholders.
  • Dividends: A quarterly dividend of $1.02 per share was declared for the third quarter (payable October 2026).
  • Buybacks: The Board increased the share repurchase authorization to $20 billion in May 2026. Approximately $11.7 billion remains available. The company repurchased 12.8 million shares for ~$1.7 billion in the first half of 2026.
• Risks and Contingencies: Management highlights risks related to commodity price volatility, geopolitical conflicts (specifically in the Middle East), inflationary pressures on operating costs, and the successful integration of the Encino acquisition. There are no material pending legal proceedings expected to have a material adverse effect.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Encino Integration: Verify the progress of integrating Encino Acquisition Partners, LLC (acquired August 2025) and the accuracy of the preliminary purchase price allocation adjustments.
• Capital Discipline: Monitor if actual capital expenditures remain within the $6.3B-$6.7B guidance range amidst potential inflationary pressures on drilling and completion costs.
• Production Mix: Confirm the sustainability of the 42% increase in natural gas production and the associated marketing strategies, given the lower price sensitivity compared to oil.
• Derivative Exposure: Review the impact of the Brent-linked gas sales contract and other hedging activities on future cash flows, noting the $130 million gain recognized in the first half of 2026.
• Share Count: Track the reduction in share count due to the aggressive $20 billion buyback program and its impact on future EPS.
