First Quarter 2025 Highlights

• Averaged total net production of 80.9 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Mboe/d”)
• Lease operating expense of $6.69 per barrel of oil equivalent (“Boe”)
• Reported net income and Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ of $16 million and $160 million, respectively
• Generated net cash provided by operating activities of $143 million
• Incurred total development costs of $52 million, resulting in a reinvestment rate of 37%

• Declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.79 per common unit

Recent Highlights

“Mach is off to a solid start for 2025,” commented Tom L. Ward, Chief Executive Officer. “Our strong distribution reflects our ongoing ability to generate industry-leading cash returns. During the quarter, we reduced our already low leverage which further strengthened our balance sheet. Despite today's volatile commodity backdrop, we are well positioned to transition our drilling program toward natural gas while maintaining our reinvestment rate of less than 50%. As we progress ahead, we will continue to optimize our business plan to maximize unitholder value.”

Tom L. Ward concluded, “Our Company’s four pillars have served us well over our seven-year history, allowing us to remain committed to maintaining financial strength, disciplined in our execution and reinvestment, and poised to grow should the right opportunity present itself.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Disclosures

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures. Pursuant to regulatory disclosure requirements, Mach is required to reconcile non-GAAP financial measures to the related GAAP information. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures are provided below. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures, along with other financial and operational disclosures, are also within the supplemental tables that are available on the Company’s website at www.machnr.com and in the related Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾

We include in this press release the supplemental non-GAAP financial performance measure Adjusted EBITDA and provide our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (1) interest expense, net, (2) depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, (3) unrealized loss (gain) on derivative instruments, (4) loss on debt extinguishment, (5) equity-based compensation expense and (6) (gain) loss on sale of assets, net.

Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial performance measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies and others, to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and our results of operation from period to period and against our peers without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as indicators of our operating performance. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax burden, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual items. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
