Mr. Maxwell concluded, “As we look at the second half of 2026, we are projecting significant increases in production and strong sales, which coupled with continued attractive pricing should generate solid operational cash flow and Adjusted EBITDAX generation.

We remain confident in our strategic vision with continued operational success coupled with our recently increased full year 2026 production and sales guidance without increasing 2026 capital guidance. Vaalco is well positioned to deliver material organic production growth.”
Operational Update
Gabon
Vaalco successfully drilled and completed the Ebouri-5H development well, as part of its ongoing Phase Three Drilling Program, with production commencing in June 2026. Following the completion of operations at the Ebouri platform, the drilling rig was mobilized to the SEENT platform where the Company spudded the ETBNM-3 gas-supply well. This well was directionally drilled adjacent to a discovery well and targeted gas and condensate resources in the Dentale D15 reservoir. The well was successfully brought online and the natural gas produced from this successful well is now being utilized for operational purposes in the field to significantly reduce the costs of higher priced diesel that is currently transported to the field by vessel. Vaalco also continued the drilling campaign in offshore Gabon by moving the rig on July 27th to a new slot on the SEENT platform to drill the ETSEM-3PH pilot hole and development well. This development well is planned with a completion length of 300 meters within the Gamba sands. Through the remainder of the Phase Three Drilling Program, the objective is to continue growing production volumes and adding proved reserves through the successful execution of Vaalco’s development program.
In addition, the BWE Consortium completed its 3D seismic campaign across the Niosi and Guduma blocks in January 2026. The seismic data processing and interpretation are currently ongoing.
Egypt
The 2026 Egypt drilling program commenced in May 2026 with the drilling of the HE-9 development well, which was completed and brought on production in early June 2026. Vaalco subsequently initiated drilling two additional development wells in June 2026, both of which were successfully completed in July. The Company is continuing with its drilling program in Egypt in the third quarter of 2026. The Company also successfully executed a series of workovers, well interventions, well reactivations, water shut-off treatments, and production optimization activities that are contributing to the organic growth of its production and reserves in Egypt.
Côte d’Ivoire
Following completion of its planned dry dock refurbishment in February 2026, the Baobab FPSO returned to Côte d’Ivoire and was successfully reconnected to field infrastructure in early April 2026. Production resumed from all producing wells in June 2026. While production has restarted, Vaalco’s first crude oil lifting is scheduled for August 2026. A drilling rig has been mobilized and the drilling program is expected to start in September 2026. This development campaign is expected to provide meaningful production growth and further unlock the value of the main Baobab field in Block CI-40.

Total production expense (excluding offshore workovers and stock compensation) increased in Q2 2026 compared with Q1 2026 and Q2 2025 primarily driven by higher sales, offset by lower production expenses resulting from the Canadian divestment and the change in oil inventory adjustments in Cote d’Ivoire. Production expenses associated with unsold crude oil inventory are capitalized and included in inventory, which are then subsequently expensed when oil inventory is sold.
General and administrative (“G&A”) expense, excluding stock-based compensation, increased in Q2 2026 primarily driven by non-recurring increases in legal and professional service fees.
Exploration expense in Q1 2026 was primarily attributable to the cost of additional seismic data related to the Niosi and Guduma licenses and the costs of an exploration well at West Etame offshore Gabon that was determined to be unsuccessful. Exploration expense for Q2 2025 was attributable to the purchase of seismic data for Block 705 in Côte d’Ivoire.
Other income (expense), net, includes gains or losses on derivatives, interest expense and foreign currency losses. In Q2 2026, Vaalco reported a net gain on derivative instruments of

Net sales for the first six months of 2026 decreased to 2,715 MBOE compared to 3,481 MBOE reported in the first six months of 2025. The decrease was driven primarily by the sale of the Canadian assets, Cote d’Ivoire FPSO refurbishment and the timing of Gabon liftings.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created by those laws (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). Where a forward-looking statement expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “aim,” “target,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “may,” “likely,” “plan” and “probably” or similar words may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements relating to (i) estimates of future drilling, production, sales and costs of acquiring crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids; (ii) expectations regarding future exploration and the development, growth and potential of Vaalco’s operations, project pipeline and investments, and schedule and anticipated benefits to be derived therefrom; (iii) expectations regarding future acquisitions, investments or divestitures; (iv) expectations of future dividends; (v) expectations of future balance sheet strength; and (vi) expectations of future equity and enterprise value.
Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: risks relating to any unforeseen liabilities of Vaalco; the ability to generate cash flows that, along with cash on hand, will be sufficient to support operations and cash requirements; and the risks described under the caption “Risk Factors” in Vaalco’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC.
Dividends beyond the third quarter of 2026 have not yet been approved or declared by the Board of Directors for Vaalco. The declaration and payment of future dividends remains at the discretion of the Board and will be determined based on Vaalco’s financial results, balance sheet strength, cash and liquidity requirements, future prospects, crude oil and natural gas prices, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board. The Board reserves all powers related to the declaration and payment of dividends. Consequently, in determining the dividend to be declared and paid on Vaalco common stock, the Board may revise or terminate the payment level at any time without prior notice.
Any forward-looking statement made by Vaalco in this press release is based only on information currently available to Vaalco and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as may be required by applicable securities laws, Vaalco undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
Other Oil and Gas Advisories
Investors are cautioned when viewing BOEs in isolation. BOE conversion ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalencies described above, utilizing such equivalencies may be incomplete as an indication of value.
Inside Information
This announcement contains inside information as defined in Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 on market abuse which is part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“MAR”) and is made in accordance with the Company’s obligations under article 17 of MAR. The person responsible for arranging the release of this announcement on behalf of Vaalco is Matthew Powers, Corporate Secretary of Vaalco.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Management uses Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to evaluate operating and financial performance and believes the measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash and/or other items that management does not consider to be indicative of the Company’s performance from period to period. Management also believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors to evaluate and compare the Company’s operating and financial performance across periods, as well as to facilitate comparisons to others in the Company’s industry. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure and as used herein represents net income, plus deferred income tax expense (benefit), unrealized derivative instrument loss (gain), bargain purchase gain on the Baobab Acquisition, FPSO demobilization, transaction costs related to the Baobab acquisition and non-cash and other items.
Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by Vaalco’s management and by external users of the Company’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, lenders, rating agencies, investors and others who follow the industry. Management believes the measure is useful to investors because it is as an indicator of the Company’s ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur additional debt. Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-GAAP financial measure and as used herein represents net income, plus interest expense (income) net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion and amortization, exploration expense, FPSO demobilization, non-cash and other items including stock compensation expense, bargain purchase gain on the Baobab Acquisition, other operating (income) expense, net, non-cash purchase price adjustment, transaction costs related to acquisition, credit losses and other and unrealized derivative instrument loss (gain).
Management uses Free Cash Flow to evaluate financial performance and to determine the total amount of cash over a specified period available to be used in connection with returning cash to shareholders, and believes the measure is useful to investors because it provides the total amount of net cash available for returning cash to shareholders by adding cash generated from operating activities, subtracting amounts used in financing and investing activities, effects of exchange rate changes on cash and adding back amounts used for dividend payments and stock repurchases. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and as used herein represents net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and adds the amounts paid under dividend distributions and share repurchases over a specified period.
Free Cash Flow has significant limitations, including that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary purposes and should not be used as a substitute for cash flow measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Free Cash Flow should not be considered as a substitute for cashflows from operating activities before discontinued operations or any other liquidity measure presented in accordance with GAAP. Free Cash Flow may vary among other companies. Therefore, the Company’s Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Net debt, or outstanding debt obligations less cash and cash equivalents, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses net debt as a measure of the Company’s outstanding debt obligations that would not be readily satisfied by its cash and cash equivalents on hand.
Adjusted EBITDAX and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) have significant limitations, including that they do not reflect the Company’s cash requirements for capital expenditures, contractual commitments, working capital or debt service. Adjusted EBITDAX, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Free Cash Flow and Net Debt should not be considered as substitutes for net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAX, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Net Debt exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss), operating income (loss) and debt, as applicable, and the calculation of these measures may vary among other companies. Therefore, the Company’s Adjusted EBITDAX, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Free Cash Flow and Net Debt may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The tables below reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDAX and Free Cash Flow.
