MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

“The third quarter was highlighted by the successful closing of the DJ Basin acquisition, which reinforces our ability to identify and capitalize on attractive investment opportunities,” stated Jamie Benard, Vitesse’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We expect the transaction to add meaningful cash flow at a valuation accretive to all key metrics while expanding our position in the DJ Basin. This investment, along with anticipated continuation of accelerated drilling and completion activities, reflects Vitesse’s strategy of disciplined capital allocation, strengthening our portfolio, supporting our dividend, and generating sustainable returns for our stockholders.”

“Vitesse’s balance sheet remains conservative, with target leverage at or below 1.0x,” said James Henderson, Vitesse’s Chief Financial Officer. “Our hedge portfolio is designed to provide additional cash flow visibility and supports our confidence in maintaining our quarterly dividend and low leverage.”

COMMODITY HEDGING

Vitesse hedges a portion of its expected oil and natural gas production volumes in an effort to increase the predictability and certainty of its cash flow and to help maintain a strong financial position to support its dividend. Based on the midpoint of its revised 2026 guidance, Vitesse has approximately 64% of its remaining 2026 oil production hedged and approximately 57% of its remaining 2026 two-stream natural gas production hedged through its natural gas and natural gas liquids hedges. The following tables summarize Vitesse’s open commodity derivative contracts scheduled to settle after September 30, 2026.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Vitesse defines Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) before (i) non-cash gains and losses on unsettled derivative instruments, (ii) non-cash equity-based compensation, (iii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, and (iv) certain other items such as material general and administrative costs, reduced by the estimated impact of income tax expense.

Net Debt is calculated by deducting cash on hand from the amount outstanding on our revolving credit facility as of the balance sheet or measurement date.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before expenses for interest, income taxes, depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion, and excludes non-cash equity-based compensation and non-cash gains and losses on unsettled derivative instruments in addition to certain other items such as material transaction and general and administrative costs.

Vitesse defines Free Cash Flow as cash flow from operations, adjusting for changes in operating assets and liabilities in addition to certain other items such as material general and administrative costs, less development of oil and gas properties.

Management believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of financial performance. Specifically, management believes the non-GAAP financial measures included herein provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that management believes are not indicative of Vitesse’s core operating results. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring Vitesse’s performance, and management believes it is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes. A reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included below.

Key Terms

adjusted ebitda financial

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.

free cash flow financial

Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.

commodity derivatives financial

Commodity derivatives are financial contracts whose value is tied to the price of a physical raw material—such as oil, gold, wheat or copper—and they let parties lock in or bet on future prices without necessarily owning the actual goods. For investors, they matter because they offer ways to protect profits from wild price swings (like locking the price of fuel ahead of a trip) or to gain exposure and potential returns through leverage, but they also carry higher risk and require close attention to market supply, demand and storage factors.

revolving credit facility financial

A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.
