Evolution Petroleum Reports Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2026 Results
Higher prices and a production uptick drove a Q4 earnings rebound while Evolution expanded Permian royalty exposure and maintained its dividend.
Rhea-AI Summary
Evolution Petroleum (EPM) reported fiscal Q4 2026 net income of $4.6 million, up from a Q3 loss, on higher prices and improved volumes.
Quarterly revenues rose 20% sequentially to $24.2 million and 15% year over year, driven mainly by a 20% increase in average realized prices to $38.55 per BOE and a 3% quarter-over-quarter rise in production to 6,901 BOEPD. Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled sequentially to $6.5 million, though it declined 24% from the prior-year quarter due largely to realized hedge losses versus prior-year gains. Fiscal 2026 production averaged 7,077 BOEPD, slightly above fiscal 2025, and year-end proved reserves increased to 27.2 MMBOE, replacing more than 100% of annual production. The company returned $16.9 million in dividends in fiscal 2026 and declared a 17th consecutive $0.12 per-share dividend.
After quarter-end, Evolution acquired Midland Basin mineral and royalty interests for about $16 million, funded with a 4.3 million-share equity offering and $3.2 million in additional borrowings, and secured a temporary increase in its credit facility borrowing base.

Management Comments
Kelly Loyd, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Fiscal 2026 was another important year for Evolution as we broadened the portfolio with strategic acquisitions, maintained
"Continuing with the year-end momentum, we begin fiscal 2027 on a high note. We added another highly accretive acquisition, with the purchase of our Permian Minerals position, adding over 1,000 near- and long-term undeveloped drilling locations. This, combined with new operations at our recently added Louisiana minerals and royalty positions and ongoing activity across our existing portfolio of non-op working and mineral and royalty interests, fiscal 2027 is poised to benefit from fresh production adds from multiple, complementary sources.
“We continue to build Evolution into a more robust energy company with long-life producing properties and significant upside development from both our non-operated working interest assets and our recently added minerals and royalty positions. We now have meaningful mineral and royalty interests with a significant number of cost-free future drilling locations as well as attractive non-operated development locations in four of the top five most active basins in the U.S., by rig count (Permian, SCOOP/STACK, Williston, and Haynesville). This strategy of adding mineral and royalty interests creates more ways to add value and provides greater flexibility for capital allocation. We believe this combination presents a stronger model for Evolution and one we intend to keep advancing that will support our dividend and compound value for shareholders over time.”

Total production for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 decreased to 6,901 net BOEPD compared to 7,198 net BOEPD in the year-ago period. Total production for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 included approximately 2,000 barrels per day (“BOPD”) of crude oil, 3,791 BOEPD of natural gas, and 1,110 BOEPD of NGLs. Fiscal 2025 fourth quarter benefited from flush production from new wells brought online during that quarter. The year-over-year change in production largely reflects these wells following their expected declines over fiscal 2026. Fiscal 2026 did benefit from higher production from SCOOP/STACK, driven by the August 2025 Minerals Acquisition and new-well activity, along with a contribution from M&R interests acquired in the Haynesville and Bossier shale in Louisiana.
The Company’s average realized commodity price (excluding the impact of derivative contracts) increased
Operations Update
At SCOOP/STACK, Evolution continued to benefit from its combination of working interests and M&R interests. Production remained strong while operating costs improved, reflecting the growing contribution from the minerals and royalty portfolio. Fiscal Q4 production averaged 1,275 BOEPD, up about

In Louisiana, operator activity across the Haynesville and Bossier positions continues to progress, with wells moving through various stages of development and into production. As of July 31st, the portfolio included approximately 90 producing gross wells, 16 wells in various stages of drilling or completion, 35 pre-permitted wells, and over 60 additional identified gross locations.
Operating performance at our TexMex assets in Louisiana, Texas and New Mexico continued to improve during the fiscal fourth quarter as workover and optimization activity progressed. The operator continues to identify opportunities to restore and enhance production from the existing well base, and the Company expects the TexMex assets to be an important contributor to the overall cash flow as those efforts continue.
At Chaveroo, production increased meaningfully during fiscal 2026, benefiting from a full year of production from the wells brought online during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Average production increased to approximately 260 BOEPD from 175 BOEPD in fiscal 2025. The Company has secured six drilling permits and is in discussions with its partner regarding the timing of future drilling.
Across the Company’s legacy assets, the focus remains on maintaining base production, improving operating reliability, and pursuing selective drilling and workover opportunities. Operational issues that affected several properties earlier in fiscal 2026 improved as the year progressed.

Proved Reserves as of June 30, 2026
Our proved reserves as of June 30, 2026, were estimated by our independent reservoir engineers, Cawley, Gillespie and Associates, Inc. and DeGolyer and MacNaughton, both worldwide petroleum consultants.
The SEC sets rules related to reserve estimation and disclosure requirements for oil and natural gas companies. These rules require disclosure of oil and natural gas proved reserves by significant geographic area, using the trailing 12-month average price, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, rather than year-end prices, and allows the use of new technologies in the determination of proved reserves if those technologies have been demonstrated empirically to lead to reliable conclusions about reserve volumes. Subject to limited exceptions, the rules also require that proved undeveloped reserves may only be classified as such if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years.
For more information on the Company's reserves, see our Supplemental Disclosure about Oil and Natural Gas Properties included on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended June 30, 2026.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation – Adjusted EBITDA (Unaudited)
(In thousands)
Adjusted EBITDA and Net income (loss) and earnings per share excluding selected items are non-GAAP financial measures that are used as supplemental financial measures by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, and others, to assess our operating performance as compared to that of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical costs basis. We use these measures to assess our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Net income (loss) and earnings per share, excluding selected items, should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Net income (loss) and earnings per share excluding selected items may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Net income (loss) and earnings per share excluding selected items in the same manner.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion, and accretion (DD&A), stock-based compensation, ceiling test impairment, and other impairments, unrealized loss (gain) on change in fair value of derivatives, and other non-recurring or non-cash expense (income) items.
