Insights

PEDEVCO posted mixed Q1 results with higher production and revenue but declining profits amid rising operating costs and weaker oil prices.

PEDEVCO's Q1 2025 results present a mixed financial picture with both encouraging operational growth and concerning profit erosion. The company increased production by 15% year-over-year to 1,707 BOEPD, driving revenue up to $8.74 million (7.4% increase). However, operating income plummeted by 76% to just $0.15 million, while net income fell 87.5% to $0.1 million from $0.8 million in Q1 2024.

The substantial profit decline stems primarily from a 14% jump in operating expenses to $8.6 million, outpacing revenue growth. The higher expenses include increased lease operating costs related to production expansion from new wells. Notably, the average realized sales price declined 6% to $56.87 per barrel of oil equivalent, creating a challenging price environment.

From a balance sheet perspective, PEDEVCO maintains solid financial stability with $13.2 million in cash (including $2.75 million restricted) and zero debt. This represents a substantial improvement from the $6.6 million cash position at year-end 2024. The company also maintains an untapped $250 million reserve-based lending facility with Citibank, providing significant financial flexibility.

The company's strategic divestiture of 17 low-producing wells in the D-J Basin represents prudent cost management, eliminating approximately $500,000 in future plugging and abandonment liabilities while reducing recurring expenses. Meanwhile, the completion of four new horizontal San Andres wells in the Permian Basin's Chaveroo Field, which are reportedly exceeding initial production expectations, should contribute positively to Q2 2025 results.

Overall, while PEDEVCO has demonstrated production growth and maintains strong liquidity, the significant margin compression and minimal profitability raise concerns about the company's ability to generate meaningful returns in the current commodity price environment despite operational improvements.

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / May 15, 2025 / PEDEVCO Corp. (NYSE American:PED) ("PEDEVCO" or the "Company"), an energy company engaged in the acquisition and development of strategic, high growth energy projects in the U.S., today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and provided an operations update.

Key Financial and Operational Highlights Include:

  • Produced an average of 1,707 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("BOEPD") (82% liquids) in the three months ended March 31, 2025 ("Q1 2025"), compared to 1,478 BOEPD produced in Q1 2024, increasing 15% from Q1 2024.

  • Q1 2025 revenue of $8.74 million, increasing $0.6 million from Q1 2024.

  • Operating income of $0.15 million, decreasing 76% from Q1 2024.

  • Operating expenses (inclusive of general and administrative expenses, depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses and lease operating expenses) of $8.6 million, increasing 14% from Q1 2024.

  • Net income of $0.1 million, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share outstanding, compared to $0.8 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share outstanding in Q1 2024.

  • Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure (discussed in greater detail below), decreased $452 thousand to $4.3 million, compared to $4.7 million in Q1 2024.

  • Cash and cash equivalents (including $2.75 million in restricted cash) of $13.2 million as of March 31, 2025, and zero debt.

  • Drilled and completed four horizontal San Andres wells in its core Chaveroo Field in the Permian Basin, with first production commencing in mid-Q2 2025 and currently exceeding initial production expectations.

  • Divested 17 low producing legacy operated D-J Basin wells in a wellbore only sale transaction in order to reduce recurring operating expenses, G&A expenses, and P&A liabilities while retaining all acreage for future development.

J. Douglas Schick, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, "We believe our Q1 2025 results continue to demonstrate the strength of our assets and our ability to develop them effectively and efficiently both as an operator and in partnership with others, delivering solid results in the quarter despite a challenging commodity price environment. With four new operated horizontal wells coming online in early Q2 2025, we expect to deliver even stronger operational results over Q2, and we believe we remain well-positioned to continue disciplined growth, with over $10 million of cash on our balance sheet, zero debt, and an untouched $250 million RBL in place with Citibank. We will continue to focus on developing our Permian Basin Asset and growing operated and non-operated production in our D-J Basin Asset, while continuing to control lease operating and G&A expenses."

Financial Summary:

We reported net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, of $0.1 million, or $0.00 per common share, compared to net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 of $0.8 million or $0.01 per share. The decrease in net income of $0.7 million, when comparing the current period to the prior year's period, was primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in total operating expense (which includes an impairment of oil and gas properties of $0.2 million), offset by an increase of revenues of $0.6 million and other income (each discussed in more detail below) combined with income tax expense of $76,000.

We reported operating expenses in Q1 2025 of $8.6 million, which was approximately $1.1 million higher than we reported in Q1 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher direct and variable lease operating expenses associated with the higher production volumes resulting from the increased number of wells and increased production during the current year's period, compared to the prior year's period, due to our participation in new non-operated wells in the D-J Basin, as well as production from our operated wells completed in 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure (discussed in greater detail below), decreased 10% to $4.3 million in Q1 2025, compared to $4.7 million in Q1 2024.

Cash and cash equivalents were $13.2 million as of March 31, 2025 (including $2.75 million in restricted cash), compared with $6.6 million as of December 31, 2024 (including $2.6 million in restricted cash), which increase was due largely to increased revenues and decreased cash outlay during the period.

Production, Prices and Revenues:

Production for Q1 2025 was 153,631 barrels of oil equivalent ("Boe"), comprised of 102,699 barrels of oil, 166,733 million cubic feet ("Mcf") of natural gas, and 23,143 Boe of natural gas liquids ("NGLs"). Liquids production comprised 82% of total production in the quarter.

Our average realized crude oil sales price in Q1 2025 was $68.88 per barrel, average realized natural gas price was $5.05 per Mcf, and average realized NGL sales price was $35.43 per barrel. Our combined average realized sales price for the quarter was $56.87 per Boe, which was a decrease of 6% compared with $60.36 per Boe in Q1 2024.

Total crude oil, natural gas and NGL revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, increased $0.6 million or 8%, for the same period a year ago due to a favorable volume variance of $0.7 million, offset by an unfavorable price variance of $0.1 million over the period. The increase in overall production volume is primarily related to our participating in six non-operated wells in the D-J Basin which production began in the latter part of Q3 2024 and another five non-operated wells in the D-J Basin which production began in late Q4 2024.

Lease Operating Expenses ("LOE"):

Total LOE for Q1 2025 was $3.41 million compared to total LOE for Q1 2024 of $2.53 million. The increase of $0.9 million was primarily due to higher direct and variable lease operating expenses associated with the higher production volumes resulting from the increased number of wells and increased production during the current year's period, compared to the prior year's period, due to our participation in new non-operated wells in the D-J Basin, as well as production from our operated wells completed in 2024.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion ("DD&A"):

DD&A decreased from $3.49 million in Q1 2024 to $3.35 million in Q1 2025. The $0.1 million decrease was primarily the result of an increase in our 2025 depletable reserve base relative to the production increase noted above.

Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties:

The Company recorded an impairment of oil and gas properties of $0.2 million related to undeveloped leases representing 232 net acres in the D-J Basin that it allowed to expire or currently has no plans to drill prior to expiration, in the current period. There was no impairment in the prior period.

General and Administrative Expenses ("G&A"):

The $0.1 million increase was primarily the result of additional payroll and professional fees.

Share-based compensation, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the Statements of Operations, remained unchanged when comparing periods. Share-based compensation is utilized for the purpose of conserving cash resources for use in field development activities and operations.

Interest Income and Other Income:

We earned $64,000 in interest, including interest earned from our interest-bearing cash accounts and interest on our note receivable. The interest for Q1 2025 nominally decreased compared to Q1 2024 due to additional cash usage for our operations in the current period compared to the prior period. There was a nominal amount and decrease in other income when comparing periods.

Working Capital and Liquidity:

At March 31, 2025, the Company's total current assets of $23.6 million exceeded its total current liabilities of $16.9 million, resulting in a working capital surplus of $6.7 million, while at December 31, 2024, the Company's total current assets of $13.2 million exceeded its total current liabilities of $6.9 million, resulting in a working capital surplus of $6.3 million. The $0.4 million increase in our working capital surplus is primarily related to a proportional increase in production and sales, offset by a proportional increase in payables related to our current capital drilling program, when comparing the current period to the prior period (described above).

Operations Update:

In Q1 2025 and early Q2 2025, the Company drilled and completed four new horizontal San Andres wells in its core Chaveroo Field in the Permian Basin, with first production commencing in mid-Q2 2025. The Company is pleased with the early production results, with the wells currently exceeding initial production expectations.

Effective January 1, 2025, in order to reduce plugging and abandonment liabilities, recurring operating expenses and G&A, the Company sold 17 gross (15.4 net) low producing operated wells in its D-J Basin Asset in a wellbore only sale transaction, with the Company retaining ownership in all its existing leasehold for future development. These legacy wells no longer provided meaningful oil and gas production to the Company, had disproportionately high operational expenses, and the Company estimates that their sale will save the Company an aggregate of approximately $500,000 in plugging and abandonment liabilities.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This earnings release discusses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA which are presented as supplemental measures of the Company's performance. These measurements are not recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before share-based compensation expense, impairment of oil and gas properties and gain on sale of fixed asset. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because we believe they provide additional useful information to investors due to the various noncash items during the period. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplements to GAAP measures of performance to provide investors with an additional financial analytical framework which management uses, in addition to historical operating results, as the basis for financial, operational and planning decisions and present measurements that third parties have indicated are useful in assessing the Company and its results of operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments; EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt or cash income tax payments. For example, although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. Additionally, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than PEDEVCO Corp. does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. You should not consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. The Company's presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure. We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in their entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the section titled "Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) attributable to PEDEVCO Corp., to Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA", included at the end of this release.
