Most recent PED news events, including merger-driven updates and corporate actions, have seen price moves that generally align with the news tone, with only one notable divergence on a positive reserves update.

Recent Company History

Over the last several months, PEDEVCO has executed a transformative strategy. The October 2025 Juniper merger created a Rockies‑focused platform and fed into strong preliminary Q4 2025 results and record year‑end 2025 proved reserves of 32.1 MMBoe with PV‑10 of $357.7M. A 1‑for‑20 reverse split on Mar 13, 2026 simplified the share structure, and management has been actively communicating at investor events. Today’s audited 2025 results largely validate the preliminary March 19 data and integrate with the capital structure and reserve updates disclosed in recent filings.

Analysis

This announcement provides the full audited picture of PEDEVCO’s 2025 step‑change following the Juniper merger. Q4 revenue of $23.1M and Adjusted EBITDA of $15.4M highlight the scale of the combined platform, while full‑year Adjusted EBITDA increased to $27.0M despite weaker oil prices. Proved reserves rose to 32.1 MMBoe with PV‑10 of $357.7M, but the company reported a $(10.4)M net loss and ended 2025 with $87.0M drawn on its credit facility. Investors may watch delivery versus 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $60–$70M and the planned capital program of $16–$20M.

adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP financial measure, PV-10, lease operating expenses, +4 more
8 terms
adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $27.0 million, an 18% increase over full year 2024..."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
non-GAAP financial measure financial
"(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Use of Non-GAAP..."
A non-GAAP financial measure is a way companies present their financial results that excludes certain expenses or income to show how they believe their core business is performing. It matters because it can give a clearer picture of how the company is really doing, but it can also be used to make results look better than they actually are.
PV-10 financial
"Year-end 2025 total proved reserves of 32.1 MMBoe with PV-10(2) of $357.7..."
PV-10 is a valuation metric that estimates the present value of future oil and gas production cash flows, discounted at 10% and stated before income taxes. Think of it as the current price tag on a company’s proven reserves, calculated by shrinking future revenue streams to today’s dollars using a 10% rate. Investors use PV-10 to compare the relative worth of reserves and assess how much future production could contribute to a company’s value, much like comparing the upfront price of different rental properties based on expected future rent.
lease operating expenses financial
"Lease Operating Expenses. LOE increased $7.0 million, or 184%, to $10.8..."
Costs required to keep a leased property or asset running, including routine maintenance, repairs, utilities, insurance, property taxes and management fees that the lessee or lessor must pay while the lease is active. Investors care because these recurring outlays reduce net income and cash flow from the lease—like owning a rental where you still pay for upkeep—so they affect profitability, yield and the true return on an investment tied to leased assets.
derivative contracts financial
"The Company recognized a total gain of $6.3 million on derivative contracts..."
Derivative contracts are agreements whose value depends on the price or outcome of something else—an underlying asset or event like a stock, bond, commodity, interest rate, or market index. They matter to investors because they can be used to protect against losses (like insurance), to place targeted bets, or to amplify gains and losses; therefore derivatives can change a portfolio’s risk and potential return without buying the underlying asset directly.
reverse stock split financial
"reflect the 1-for-20 reverse stock split effective March 13, 2026, applied..."
A reverse stock split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding, making each share more valuable. For example, if you own 100 shares worth $1 each, a 1-for-10 reverse split would turn your 100 shares into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to boost their stock price and appear more stable to investors.
credit facility financial
"Year-end 2025 revolving credit facility balance of $87.0 million under..."
A credit facility is a flexible loan arrangement that allows a borrower to access funds up to a set limit whenever needed, similar to a company having an overdraft option on a bank account. It matters to investors because it indicates how easily a business can secure cash when required, affecting its ability to manage expenses, invest, or respond to financial challenges.
SEC pricing assumptions regulatory
"SEC pricing assumptions: $65.34 per barrel of oil and $3.387 per MMBtu..."
SEC pricing assumptions are the estimated share prices and related numbers companies include in regulatory filings to show how a proposed securities offering would affect share count, ownership and proceeds. Investors use these assumed prices like a labeled price tag in a sales plan — they help predict how much money the company might raise, how much each existing share could be diluted, and whether the deal changes the stock’s value.

Transformational Juniper Merger Drives Step-Change in Scale, Reserves and Earnings Power

HOUSTON, March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PEDEVCO Corp. (NYSE American: PED) (“PEDEVCO” or the “Company”), a publicly traded energy company engaged in the acquisition and development of strategic oil and gas assets in the Rocky Mountain region, today reported audited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company’s full year 2025 results reflect the closing of its transformative merger with certain portfolio companies controlled by Juniper Capital Advisors, L.P. (the “Juniper Merger”) on October 31, 2025, with the consolidated financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025 including only two months of contribution from the acquired assets. The fourth quarter of 2025 similarly reflects a partial-quarter contribution, with October representing legacy PEDEVCO operations only.

Note: Fourth quarter 2025 figures are derived from audited full year 2025 results and unaudited nine-month results as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025. All per-share and share-count references reflect the 1-for-20 reverse stock split effective March 13, 2026, applied retroactively for all periods presented.

Fourth Quarter Financial and Operational Highlights Include:

  • Fourth quarter 2025 production of 483,159 Boe (Average 5,310 Boe/d), a 143% increase over fourth quarter 2024 production. The acquired assets contributed approximately 303,000 Boe during November and December 2025.
  • Fourth quarter 2025 oil and gas revenue of approximately $23.1 million, more than doubling the $10.6 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting the initial contribution from the acquired Juniper assets.
  • Fourth quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of approximately $15.4 million, compared to $5.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, representing a nearly threefold increase.

Full Year Financial and Operational Highlights Include:

  • Full year 2025 production of 910,068 Boe (2,494 Average Boe/d), a 35% increase over 2024 production of 671,796 Boe (1,835 Average Boe/d), supported by the contribution of the acquired assets during the last two months of the year.
  • Full year 2025 oil and gas revenue of $45.8 million, a 16% increase over full year 2024 revenue of $39.6 million, driven by a 35% increase in sale volumes partially offset by a 19% decline in average realized crude oil prices.
  • Full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $27.0 million, an 18% increase over full year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of $22.9 million, reflecting the contribution of two months of production from the acquired assets and continued execution of the Company’s development program.
  • Full year 2025 net loss of $(10.4) million, or $(2.25) per diluted share, compared to net income of $12.3 million (restated), or $2.76 per diluted share, in 2024. The year-over-year decline was driven primarily by approximately $7.5 million of non-recurring merger-related costs, $2.8 million in additional and accelerated share-based compensation in connection with board transitions related to the Juniper Merger, $1.4 million of new interest expense on the Company’s credit facility, a $1.4 million note receivable write-off and an income tax expense of $8.1 million, resulting in a net deferred tax liability of $0.8 million on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
  • Year-end 2025 total proved reserves of 32.1 MMBoe with PV-10(2) of $357.7 million, compared to 18.1 MMBoe and $178.9 million, respectively, at year-end 2024, reflecting the full post-merger asset base.

2026 Guidance Highlights:

  • Full-year 2026 guidance for net capital expenditures of $16 million to $20 million, including approximately $6 million to $7 million for drilling and completion costs in the D-J Basin (of which approximately $3 million is carry over from the Company’s 2025 program), and approximately $10 million to $13 million in estimated capital expenditures for optimization projects on our newly acquired assets from the Juniper Merger. Asset reviews of the newly combined entity are currently underway and an expansion of the 2026 capital budget will be announced in the coming months.
  • Full-year 2026 guidance for adjusted EBITDA of $60 million to $70 million, based on average oil price of $65/bbl and average gas price of $3.50/Mscf

Management Commentary

J. Douglas Schick, President and Chief Executive Officer of PEDEVCO, commented:

“2025 was a transformational year for PEDEVCO. The closing of the Juniper Merger on October 31st fundamentally changed the scale of our business, expanding our Rockies footprint to over 310,000 net acres, adding substantial oil-weighted production, and nearly doubling our proved reserve base to 32.1 million barrels of oil equivalent with a PV-10 value of $357.7 million. Operationally, we significantly expanded our asset base across the Wyoming D-J Basin and Powder River Basin, where we now hold interests in 184 gross wells in the D-J Basin, and 156 gross wells in the Powder River Basin. We also participated in the drilling and completion of 36 gross development wells during 2025, including 29 non-operated wells and three operated wells in the D-J Basin, 31 of which began contributing production in late 2025. In early 2025 we drilled and completed four horizontal San Andres wells in the Permian. We have one Company-operated DUC in the D-J Basin that will be completed as part of our upcoming 2026 development program.”

“Our fourth quarter results, with revenue exceeding $23 million and Adjusted EBITDA reaching approximately $15.4 million, provide an initial view of the combined platform's earnings capacity, and importantly, these results reflect only two months of consolidated production from the acquired assets. Our full-year GAAP net loss of $(10.4) million was driven primarily by approximately $7.5 million of non-recurring merger-related costs and approximately $8.1 million of deferred income tax expense arising from the Juniper Merger, along with $1.4 million of new interest expense; on a normalized cash earnings basis, Adjusted EBITDA grew 18% to $27.0 million despite a 19% decline in average realized crude oil prices.”

“Looking ahead to 2026, our priorities are clear: continue disciplined development, reduce operating costs through targeted optimization of the acquired asset base, and demonstrate the full earnings power of the combined platform while searching for accretive Rockies acquisitions to further scale the platform. We believe 2025 has positioned PEDEVCO for a step-change in future financial performance and consolidation.”

Fourth Quarter Financial Summary

Revenue. Total crude oil, natural gas and NGL revenues for the three-month period ended December 31, 2025, increased 118%, to $23.1 million, compared to $10.6 million for the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by higher production volumes following the closing of the Juniper Merger.

Lease Operating Expenses. LOE increased $7.0 million, or 184%, to $10.8 million, primarily as a result of the acquired assets, which contributed operating costs for the two-month period following the closing of the Juniper Merger.

General and Administrative Expenses. Total G&A expense (including share-based compensation) increased $9.8 million to $12.0 million, primarily reflecting approximately $7.5 million of non-recurring merger-related expenses (including transaction advisory, legal, accounting and integration costs), along with the addition of 12 employees and related compensation costs in connection with the Juniper Merger.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion. DD&A increased $1.7 million, or 32%, to $6.8 million, driven by higher production volumes associated with the Company’s expanded asset base.

Gain on Derivative Contracts. The Company recognized a total gain of $6.3 million on derivative contracts that were novated to the Company in connection with the Juniper Merger and new hedges entered into by the Company, consisting of $2.1 million in realized gains from cash settlements and $4.1 million in unrealized mark-to-market gains.

Interest Expense. The Company incurred $1.4 million of interest expense in 2025, consisting of $1.1 million in interest on borrowings under the credit facility and $0.3 million in amortization of deferred financing costs. No interest expense was incurred in 2024 as the Company carried no debt prior to the Juniper Merger.

Net (Loss) Income. The Company reported net loss of $8.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to net income of $5.9 million for the prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to an income tax expense of $8.6 million, resulting in a net deferred tax liability of $0.8 million on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA was $15.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $5.1 million in the prior year period, reflecting a significant increase driven by higher production volumes from the Juniper Merger, partially offset by higher operating costs and merger-related expenses.

Full Year 2025 Financial Summary

Revenue. Total crude oil, natural gas and NGL revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, increased 16% to $45.8 million, compared to $39.6 million for the prior year. The increase was driven by a favorable volume variance of approximately $12.2 million, offset by an unfavorable price variance of approximately $6.0 million.

Lease Operating Expenses. LOE increased $6.7 million, or 54%, to $19.1 million, primarily as a result of the acquired assets, which contributed approximately $7.6 million of operating costs during the two-month period from November 1 through December 31, 2025.

General and Administrative Expenses. Total G&A expense (including share-based compensation) increased $10.4 million to $16.8 million. Cash G&A increased $9.5 million, primarily reflecting merger-related costs and higher personnel expenses associated with the expanded organization following the Juniper Merger.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion. DD&A increased $2.1 million, or 13%, to $18.0 million, driven by higher production volumes associated with the Company’s expanded asset base.

Gain on Derivative Contracts. The Company recognized a total gain of $6.3 million on derivative contracts that were novated to the Company in connection with the Juniper Merger and new hedges entered into by the Company, consisting of $2.1 million in realized gains from cash settlements and $4.1 million in unrealized mark-to-market gains.

Interest Expense. The Company incurred $1.4 million of interest expense in 2025, consisting of $1.1 million in interest on borrowings under the credit facility and $0.3 million in amortization of deferred financing costs. No interest expense was incurred in 2024 as the Company carried no debt prior to the Juniper Merger.

Net (Loss) Income. The Company reported a net loss of $10.4 million, or $(2.25) per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net income of $12.3 million (restated), or $2.76 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2024. The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to: (i) approximately $7.5 million of merger-related costs, (ii) $1.4 million of interest expense on the new credit facility, (iii) a $1.4 million note receivable credit loss write-off, (iv) $2.8 million in additional and accelerated share-based compensation, and (v) a $0.9 million impairment of oil and gas properties due to the expiration of certain leaseholds, partially offset by a $6.3 million gain on derivative contracts, a $2.6 million net gain on the sale of oil and gas properties and an income tax expense of $8.1 million, resulting in a net deferred tax liability of $0.8 million on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA was $27.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $22.9 million (restated) in 2024, an increase of 18%. The increase was driven by higher production volumes from the Juniper Merger, partially offset by lower realized commodity prices.

Powder River Basin. Through the Juniper Merger, the Company acquired approximately 201,886 net acres in the Powder River Basin in northeastern Wyoming. The PRB assets are earlier-stage, multi-formation development opportunities supported by offset operator drilling across multiple horizons, including the Parkman, Sussex, Niobrara, Turner, Mowry, Teapot, Shannon, and Frontier formations. The Company is currently evaluating development plans for the PRB position.

Permian Basin. The Company holds approximately 14,000 net acres in the Northwest Shelf of the Permian Basin in eastern New Mexico. During 2025, the Company completed four horizontal San Andres wells with a 50% working interest, which continue to produce in line with expectations. Additionally, the Company completed five lift conversions in the Permian Basin designed to improve production performance and reduce future operating costs.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “likely,” “will,” “would” and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. Forward-looking statements in this release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s 2026 capital expenditure estimates, expected benefits of the Juniper Merger including cost savings and operational synergies, expected production levels, development plans, estimated reserves, and the Company’s ability to fund its operations and service its obligations. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, among others: volatility in oil and natural gas prices; the Company’s ability to successfully integrate the acquired operations; the Company’s ability to service its credit facility obligations; results of development and production activities; changes in operating costs; regulatory developments including those affecting federal and state leases; the Company’s ability to maintain its listing on NYSE American; availability and costs of services and materials; and the risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and other filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and PV-10, which are presented as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and asset value. These 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 represents EBITDA less share-based compensation, impairment of oil and gas properties, gain on sale of oil and gas properties, gain on sale of fixed asset, merger acquisition costs, and note receivable – credit loss. The Company believes these measures provide additional useful information to investors and are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the oil and gas industry. However, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, the Company’s calculation of these measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is provided at the end of this release.

PV-10 represents the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved reserves, before income taxes, discounted at 10% per annum. PV-10 is not a measure prescribed by GAAP. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows (“Standardized Measure”), which includes the effects of income taxes. The Company uses PV-10 as a measure of the relative value of its properties because it is a widely used industry metric that is not dependent on the tax position of individual companies. A reconciliation of PV-10 to the Standardized Measure is available in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

FAQ

What did PEDEVCO (PED) announce for Q4 2025 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA?

PEDEVCO reported Q4 2025 revenue of approximately $23.1M and Adjusted EBITDA of $15.4M. According to the company, these results include two months of contribution from assets acquired in the Oct 31, 2025 Juniper Merger, driving a step-change in scale.

How did the Juniper Merger affect PEDEVCO's reserves and production in 2025 (PED)?

The Juniper Merger expanded year-end proved reserves to 32.1 MMBoe and increased FY production 35%. According to the company, the acquisition contributed materially during November–December, nearly doubling the proved reserve base and boosting production volumes.

Why did PEDEVCO (PED) report a net loss for full-year 2025 despite higher EBITDA?

PEDEVCO recorded a FY 2025 net loss of $(10.4)M due to merger-related costs and tax items. According to the company, ~$7.5M of non-recurring merger expenses and an $8.1M income tax expense drove the GAAP loss.

What is PEDEVCO's 2026 financial guidance for capex and Adjusted EBITDA (PED)?

PEDEVCO guided 2026 net capital expenditures of $16M–$20M and Adjusted EBITDA of $60M–$70M. According to the company, the EBITDA range assumes average oil of $65/bbl and gas of $3.50/Mscf and includes planned optimization work.

How did commodity prices affect PEDEVCO's 2025 revenue per Boe (PED)?

Average realized crude oil prices declined about 19%, lowering per-unit revenue to $50.27/Boe in 2025. According to the company, a favorable volume variance offset some headwinds, but lower oil prices reduced overall realized revenue per Boe.
