Amplify Energy (NYSE: AMPY) posts Q1 2026 loss as production drops and hedges drag
Amplify Energy reported a much larger quarterly loss as it reshaped its asset base and absorbed a big hedge loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, revenue fell to $37.5 million from $72.1 million, mainly because the company sold its East Texas, Oklahoma and non‑operated Eagle Ford properties in 2025 and now focuses on its Bairoil and Beta oil assets.
Average production dropped to 6.4 MBoe per day from 17.9 MBoe per day, while the average realized price rose to $64.26 per Boe. A loss of $45.8 million on commodity derivatives drove a net loss of $38.1 million, or $(0.93) per share, compared with a $5.9 million loss a year earlier. Cash from operations was $4.5 million, and the company ended the quarter with $41.5 million of cash and no debt.
Subsequent to quarter‑end, federal regulators granted Beta royalty relief effective May 1, 2026, cutting royalty rates on key offshore California leases roughly in half, subject to price and volume triggers. This is designed to improve the economics of the mature Beta field while it remains in late‑life production.
Positive
- Debt-free balance sheet with solid liquidity: As of March 31, 2026 the company had no long-term debt outstanding, $41.5 million of cash, and a $25.0 million borrowing base with $15.0 million in elected commitments under its revolving credit facility.
- Royalty relief at Beta improves late-life field economics: Effective May 1, 2026, federal approval cut royalty rates on key Beta offshore leases roughly in half (to 12.5% and 8.33%), which should enhance field-level cash flow while price and volume conditions remain within the relief thresholds.
Negative
- Sharp earnings deterioration driven by hedge losses and smaller scale: Q1 2026 net loss widened to $38.1 million from $5.9 million a year earlier, as oil and gas revenue fell by about half and commodity derivatives generated a $45.8 million loss.
- Significant production and revenue decline after asset sales: Average production dropped to 6.4 MBoe/d from 17.9 MBoe/d, and oil and gas sales fell from $70.3 million to $37.3 million, reflecting divestitures and leaving results more dependent on two mature fields.
- Higher unit operating costs on reduced volumes: Lease operating expense decreased in total dollars but rose to $38.20 per Boe from $23.28 per Boe, indicating less operating leverage and potentially tighter margins at the current production scale.
Insights
Results show weaker earnings from a smaller asset base and a large hedge loss, partly offset by lower debt risk and later royalty relief.
Amplify Energy is now a leaner, oil‑focused company centered on its Bairoil and Beta fields after 2025 divestitures. That shift cut Q1 2026 production to 6.4 MBoe/d from 17.9 MBoe/d and reduced oil and gas revenue to $37.3 million from $70.3 million, even though realized prices improved.
The quarter’s headline net loss of $38.1 million was dominated by a $45.8 million loss on commodity derivatives, reflecting adverse mark‑to‑market moves on its hedge book. Operating costs also look heavier on a per‑barrel basis as fixed expenses are spread over lower volumes. However, the balance sheet is clean, with no debt outstanding and $41.5 million of cash, which reduces financial risk.
Looking ahead, End‑of‑Life Royalty Relief for the Beta unit, effective from May 1, 2026, cuts royalty rates roughly in half on key offshore leases, but only while a rolling 12‑month price benchmark stays below $79.65 per BOE and volumes remain near current levels. Future filings will show how much this relief improves Beta’s cash margins, especially if oil prices remain around recent realized levels.

GLOSSARY OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS TERMS
Analogous Reservoir: Analogous reservoirs, as used in resource assessments, have similar rock and fluid properties, reservoir conditions (depth, temperature, and pressure) and drive mechanisms, but are typically at a more advanced stage of development than the reservoir of interest and thus may provide concepts to assist in the interpretation of more limited data and estimation of recovery. When used to support proved reserves, analogous reservoir refers to a reservoir that shares all of the following characteristics with the reservoir of interest: (i) the same geological formation (but not necessarily in pressure communication with the reservoir of interest); (ii) the same environment of deposition; (iii) similar geologic structure; and (iv) the same drive mechanism.
Bbl: One stock tank barrel, or 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume, used in reference to oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.
Bbl/d: One Bbl per day.
Bcfe: One billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent.
Boe: One barrel of oil equivalent, calculated by converting natural gas to oil equivalent barrels at a ratio of six Mcf of natural gas to one Bbl of oil.
BOEM: U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.
BSEE: Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement.
Btu: One British thermal unit, the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a one-pound mass of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
CO2: Carbon dioxide.
Development Project: A development project is the means by which petroleum resources are brought to the status of economically producible. As examples, the development of a single reservoir or field, an incremental development in a producing field or the integrated development of a group of several fields and associated facilities with a common ownership may constitute a development project.
Dry Hole or Dry Well: A well found to be incapable of producing hydrocarbons in sufficient quantities such that proceeds from the sale of such production would exceed production expenses and taxes.
Economically Producible: The term economically producible, as it relates to a resource, means a resource which generates revenue that exceeds, or is reasonably expected to exceed, the costs of the operation. For this determination, the value of the products that generate revenue are determined at the terminal point of oil and natural gas producing activities.
Exploitation: A development or other project which may target proven or unproven reserves (such as probable or possible reserves), but which generally has a lower risk than that associated with exploration projects.
Field: An area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs, all grouped on or related to the same individual geological structural feature and/or stratigraphic condition. The field name refers to the surface area, although it may refer to both the surface and the underground productive formations.
Gross Acres or Gross Wells: The total acres or wells, as the case may be, in which we have a working interest.
Henry Hub: A distribution hub in Louisiana that serves as the delivery location for natural gas futures contracts on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
ICE: Inter-Continental Exchange.
ICE Brent: Brent crude oil traded on the ICE.

OPIS: Oil Price Information Service.
Plugging and Abandonment: Refers to the sealing off of fluids in the strata penetrated by a well so that the fluids from one stratum will not escape into another stratum or to the surface. Regulations of all states require plugging of abandoned wells.
Probabilistic Estimate: The method of estimation of reserves or resources is called probabilistic when the full range of values that could reasonably occur for each unknown parameter (from the geoscience and engineering data) is used to generate a full range of possible outcomes and their associated probabilities of occurrence.
Proved Developed Reserves: Proved reserves that can be expected to be recovered from existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.

Table of Contents
Proved Reserves: Those quantities of oil and natural gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible, from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations, prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced, or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project, within a reasonable time. The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes (i) the area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (ii) adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or natural gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data. In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons, as seen in a well penetration, unless geoscience, engineering or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty. Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil elevation and the potential exists for an associated natural gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty. Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when (i) successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir, or an Analogous Reservoir or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based, and (ii) the project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities. Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price used is the average price during the twelve-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.
Realized Price: The cash market price less all expected quality, transportation and demand adjustments.
Reliable Technology: Reliable technology is a grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that has been field tested and has been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation.
Reserves: Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and natural gas or related substances to market and all permits and financing required to implement the project. Reserves should not be assigned to adjacent reservoirs isolated by major, potentially sealing, faults until those reservoirs are penetrated and evaluated as economically producible. Reserves should not be assigned to areas that are clearly separated from a known accumulation by a non-productive reservoir (i.e., absence of reservoir, structurally low reservoir or negative test results). Such areas may contain prospective resources (i.e., potentially recoverable resources from undiscovered accumulations).
Reservoir: A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible oil and/or natural gas that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual and separate from other reserves.
Resources: Resources are quantities of oil and natural gas estimated to exist in naturally occurring accumulations. A portion of the resources may be estimated to be recoverable and another portion may be considered unrecoverable. Resources include both discovered and undiscovered accumulations.
SEC: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Working Interest: An interest in an oil and natural gas lease that gives the owner of the interest the right to drill for and produce oil and natural gas on the leased acreage and requires the owner to pay a share of the costs of drilling and production operations.
Workover: Operations on a producing well to restore or increase production.
WTI: West Texas Intermediate.

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
General
Amplify Energy Corp. (“Amplify Energy,” “Amplify,” “it” or the “Company”) is a publicly traded Delaware corporation whose common stock, par value $
The Company operates in
The Company’s assets have historically consisted primarily of producing oil and natural gas properties located in Oklahoma, the Rockies (“Bairoil”), federal waters offshore Southern California (“Beta”), East Texas/North Louisiana and the Eagle Ford (non-op). The Company’s oil and natural gas properties were located in large, mature oil and natural gas reservoirs. The Company’s properties historically consisted primarily of operated and non-operated working interests in producing and undeveloped leasehold acreage and working interests in identified producing wells. The Company divested its assets in Oklahoma, East Texas/North Louisiana and the Eagle Ford (non-op) during the year ended December 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s properties consist of its Bairoil and Beta oil and NGL producing properties. The oil properties are located in mature oil reservoirs. As of March 31, 2026, the Company is the operator of record for properties containing
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the Company’s opinion, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for fair presentation. Material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The results reported in these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. Furthermore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements included in its 2025 Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, oil and natural gas reserves, fair value estimates, revenue recognition, and contingencies and insurance accounting.

Segments
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses for which separate operational financial information is available and is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has been determined to be the Company’s CODM and as such, he allocates resources and assesses performance based upon consolidated financial information. See additional information in Note 15.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s annual financial statements included in its 2025 Form 10-K.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Income Statement –Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which requires disaggregated disclosures of income statement expenses for public business entities. The guidance will require companies to disclose disaggregated information about specific natural expense categories underlying certain income statement expense line items that are considered relevant because they include one or more of the five natural expense categories, as applicable: (1) purchase of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization and (5) depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) recognized as part of oil and gas producing activities or other depletion expenses. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial disclosures. Adoption of the update is not expected to impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 3. Revenue
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Revenue is recognized when the following five steps are completed: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligation (promise) in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when the reporting organization satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company has determined that its contracts for the sale of crude oil, unprocessed natural gas, residue gas and NGLs contain monthly performance obligations to deliver product at locations specified in the contract. Control is transferred at the delivery location, at which point the performance obligation has been satisfied and revenue is recognized. Fees included in the contract that are incurred prior to control transfer are classified as gathering, processing and transportation and fees incurred after control transfers are included as a reduction to the transaction price. The transaction price at which revenue is recognized consists entirely of variable consideration based on quoted market prices less various fees and the quantity of volumes delivered.

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a specified measurement date. Fair value estimates are based on either (i) actual market data or (ii) assumptions that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including estimates of risk. A three-tier hierarchy has been established that classifies fair value amounts recognized or disclosed in the financial statements. The hierarchy considers fair value amounts based on observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) to be more reliable and predictable than those based primarily on unobservable inputs (Level 3). All the derivative instruments reflected on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were considered Level 2.
The carrying values of accounts receivables, accounts payables (including accrued liabilities), restricted investments and amounts outstanding under long-term debt agreements with variable rates included in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximated fair value at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The fair value estimates are based upon observable market data and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. These assets and liabilities are not presented in the following tables.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The fair market values of the derivative financial instruments reflected on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were based on estimated forward commodity prices. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The following tables present the gross derivative assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 for each of the fair value hierarchy levels:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, as reflected on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair values:
| ● | The fair value of asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) is based on discounted cash flow projections using numerous estimates, assumptions and judgments regarding factors such as the existence of a legal obligation for an ARO, amounts and timing of settlements, the credit-adjusted risk-free rate and inflation rates. The initial fair value estimates are based on unobservable market data and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 7 for a summary of changes in AROs. |
| ● | Proved oil and natural gas properties are reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate a possible decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of such properties. The Company uses an income approach based on the discounted cash flow method, whereby the present value of expected future net cash flows is discounted by applying an appropriate discount rate, for purposes of placing a fair value on the assets. The future cash flows are based on management’s estimates for the future. The unobservable inputs used to determine fair value include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved reserves, estimates of probable reserves, future commodity prices, the timing of future production and capital expenditures and a discount rate commensurate with the risk reflective of the lives remaining for the respective oil and natural gas properties (some of which are Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy). |
| o |
Note 6. Risk Management and Derivative Instruments
Derivative instruments are utilized to manage exposure to commodity price and interest rate fluctuations and to achieve a more predictable cash flow in connection with oil sales and borrowing related activities. These instruments limit exposure to declines in prices but also limit the benefits that would be realized if prices increase.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Certain inherent business risks are associated with commodity derivative contracts, including market risk and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the price of oil will change, either favorably or unfavorably, in response to changing market conditions. Credit risk is the risk of loss from non-performance by the counterparty to a contract. It is the Company’s policy to enter into derivative contracts only with creditworthy counterparties, which are generally financial institutions, deemed by management as competent and competitive market makers. Some of the lenders, or certain of their affiliates, under the Company’s current credit agreements are counterparties to its derivative contracts. While collateral is generally not required to be posted by counterparties, credit risk associated with derivative instruments is minimized by limiting exposure to any single counterparty and entering into derivative instruments only with creditworthy counterparties that are generally large financial institutions. Additionally, master netting agreements are used to mitigate risk of loss due to default with counterparties on derivative instruments. The Company has also entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with each of its counterparties. The terms of the ISDA Agreements provide the Company and each of its counterparties with rights of set-off upon the occurrence of defined acts of default by either the Company or its counterparty to a derivative, whereby the party not in default may set-off all liabilities owed to the defaulting party against all net derivative asset receivables from the defaulting party. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility.
Commodity Derivatives
The Company may use a combination of commodity derivatives (e.g., floating-for-fixed swaps, put options and costless collars) to manage exposure to commodity price volatility. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments at fair value.
The Company also enters into oil derivative contracts indexed to NYMEX-WTI and ICE Brent.

Note 11. Long-Term Incentive Plans
On May 15, 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved the Amplify Energy Corp. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 EIP”), which had previously been approved by the board of directors of the Company. No further awards will be granted under the prior Legacy Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP,” and together with the 2024 EIP, the “EIP Plans”).
The 2024 EIP provides for awards that can be granted in the form of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance awards, stock awards and other incentive awards. To the extent that an award, other than stock options or stock appreciation rights, under the 2024 EIP has expired or been forfeited or canceled for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unexercised award would then be available again for future grants under the 2024 EIP. The 2024 EIP is administered by the board of directors of the Company.
Restricted Stock Units
Restricted Stock Units with Service Vesting Condition
Restricted stock units with service vesting conditions (“TSUs”) are accounted for as either equity-classified awards or liability-classified awards. The Company considered its intent and ability to settle awards in cash or shares of stock in determining whether to classify the awards as equity or liability awards. Compensation costs for equity-classified awards are recorded as general and administrative expense. The fair value of liability-classified awards is determined on a quarterly basis beginning at the grant date until final vesting. Changes in the fair value of liability-classified awards are recorded to general administrative expense and are remeasured at fair value each reporting period.

Note 12. Leases
The Company has leases for office space, warehouse space and equipment in its corporate office and operating regions as well as vehicles, compressors and surface rentals related to its business operations. In addition, the Company has right-of-way leases to operate the San Pedro Bay Pipeline. Most of the Company’s leases, other than its corporate office lease, have an initial term and may be extended on a month-to-month basis after expiration of the initial term. Most of the Company’s
The Company’s corporate office lease does not provide an implicit rate. To determine the present value of the lease payments, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the inception date. To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company applies a portfolio approach based on the applicable lease terms and the current economic environment. The Company uses a reasonable market interest rate for its office equipment and vehicle leases.

The Company’s operations are all related to the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas in the United States, from which the Company derives all of its revenues. The Company manages its business as a single reportable segment, as its operations are focused on assets with similar economic characteristics, production processes, types of purchasers, regulatory environment and customers which are consistent across the Company. Therefore, the Company aggregates its operating regions into
The CODM uses consolidated net income to assess financial performance, allocating capital and other resources. The CODM uses consolidated net income in the annual budgeting and monthly forecasting process. Additionally, the CODM is regularly provided information on lease operating expense, gathering, processing and transportation and taxes other than income. Other segment items primarily consist of DD&A, accretion expense, general and administrative expense, pipeline incident loss, loss (gain) on commodity derivative, interest expense and income tax expense (benefit). Our significant segment expenses and other segment items are derived from and can be found within the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as total assets and the measure of capital expenditures is reflected in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Environmental costs for remediation are accrued based on estimates of known remediation requirements. Such accruals are based on management’s best estimate of the ultimate cost to remediate a site and are adjusted as further information and circumstances develop. Those estimates may change substantially depending on information about the nature and extent of contamination, appropriate remediation technologies and regulatory approvals. Expenditures to mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination are capitalized. Ongoing environmental compliance costs are charged to expense as incurred. In accruing for environmental remediation liabilities, costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation are not discounted to their present value, unless the amount and timing of the expenditures are fixed or reliably determinable.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes in “Item 1. Financial Statements” contained herein and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 2025 Form 10-K. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the front of this report.
Overview
We operate in one reportable segment engaged in the acquisition, development, exploitation and production of oil and natural gas properties. Our management evaluates performance based on the reportable business segment as the economic environments are not different within the operation of our oil and natural gas properties. Our business activities are conducted through OLLC, our wholly owned subsidiary, and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
The Company’s assets have historically consisted primarily of producing oil and natural gas properties located in Oklahoma, the Rockies (“Bairoil”), federal waters offshore Southern California (“Beta”), East Texas/North Louisiana and the Eagle Ford (non-op). The Company divested its assets in Oklahoma, East Texas/North Louisiana and the Eagle Ford (non-op) during the year ended December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the Company properties consist of its Bairoil and Beta oil and NGL producing properties. The oil and NGL properties are located in mature oil reservoirs. As of March 31, 2026, the Company is the operator of record for properties containing 100% of its total estimated proved reserves.
Industry Trends
We continue to monitor the impact of the actions of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other large producing nations; the Russia-Ukraine conflict; conflicts or entanglements in the Middle East or South America; global inventories of oil and natural gas and the uncertainty associated with recovering oil demand; inflation and future monetary policy; and governmental policies aimed at transitioning towards lower carbon energy. The Russia-Ukraine conflict and conflicts or entanglements in the Middle East and South America continue to evolve, and the extent to which these events may impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence.
Divestiture Summary
In 2025, the Company worked to simplify its portfolio and strengthen its balance sheet. The Company made significant progress towards this goal throughout 2025, with the first transaction occurring in the first quarter of 2025 with the East Texas Haynesville monetization. Throughout the remainder of 2025, the Company completed additional divestiture transactions, including monetization and asset sales. These transactions continued management’s efforts to simplify the Company’s asset base. Management believes the divestiture transactions strengthened liquidity and further streamlined the Company’s asset portfolio. None of the asset dispositions qualified as discontinued operations.
Recent Developments
Beta Royalty Relief
On, April 30, 2026, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (“BSEE”) informed the Company that it had been approved for End-of-Life Royalty Relief for the Company’s interests in three Pacific Outer Continental Shelf blocks (P-300, P-0301, and P-0306), referred to as the Beta unit in the Beta Field located in federal waters approximately 11 miles offshore from the Port of Long Beach, California. The royalty relief is effective beginning May 1, 2026 for the Beta leases. On the Company’s two primary producing leases, the royalty rate was reduced from approximately 25% to 12.5%, and on the third lease, the royalty rate was reduced from 16.67% to 8.33%.
31
Table of Contents
Royalty relief rates will be suspended in months in which the rolling 12-month weighted average NYMEX oil and Henry Hub gas price exceeds $79.65 per BOE, which represents a 25% premium to the average realized price recognized by the Company during the qualification period. Royalty relief will end in the event that the rolling 12-month weighted average commodity prices exceed $79.65 per BOE, or if monthly production doubles the qualifying months’ average for 12 consecutive months.
Business Environment and Operational Focus
We use a variety of financial and operational metrics to assess the performance of our oil and natural gas operations, including: (i) production volumes; (ii) realized prices on the sale of our production; (iii) cash settlements on our commodity derivatives; (iv) lease operating expense; (v) gathering, processing and transportation; (vi) general and administrative expense; and (vii) Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below).
Sources of Revenues
Our revenues are derived from the sale of oil production, as well as the sale of NGLs that are extracted from natural gas during processing. Production revenues are derived entirely from the continental United States. Oil and NGL prices are inherently volatile and are influenced by many factors outside our control. In order to reduce the impact of fluctuations in oil prices on revenues, we intend to periodically enter into derivative contracts that fix the future prices received. At the end of each period, the fair value of these commodity derivative instruments is estimated and because hedge accounting is not elected, the changes in the fair value of unsettled commodity derivative instruments are recognized in earnings at the end of each accounting period.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and estimates, including a discussion regarding the estimation uncertainty and the impact that our critical accounting estimates have had, or are reasonably likely to have, on our financial condition or results of operations, are described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2025 Form 10-K. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, oil and natural gas reserves, fair value estimates, revenue recognition and contingencies and insurance accounting. These estimates, in our opinion, are subjective in nature, require the use of professional judgment and involve complex analysis.
When used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, such estimates are based on our current knowledge and understanding of the underlying facts and circumstances and may be revised as a result of actions we take in the future. Changes in these estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Subsequent changes in these estimates may have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Results of Operations
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 have been derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Factors Affecting the Comparability of the Historical Financial Results
| ● | The sale of our non-operated Eagle Ford assets in July 2025 for $23.0 million, excluding $1.9 million of final post-closing adjustments, resulting in a final adjusted purchase price of $21.1 million. |
| ● | The sale of all of our assets located in East Texas/North Louisiana in December 2025 for $122.0 million, subject to estimated post-closing adjustments. |
| ● | The sale of all of our assets located in Oklahoma in December 2025 for $92.5 million, subject to estimated post-closing adjustments. |
| ● | Other sales of interest in certain units with rights in the Cotton Valley and Haynesville basins during 2025 for $13.6 million. |
As a result of the factors listed above, the historical results of operations and period-to-period comparisons of these results and certain financial data may not be comparable or indicative of future results.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
We reported a net loss of $38.1 million compared to a net loss of $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Table of Contents
Oil, natural gas and NGL revenues were $37.3 million and $70.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Average net production volumes were approximately 6.4 MBoe/d and 17.9 MBoe/d for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The average realized sales prices were $64.26 per Boe and $43.76 per Boe for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease of $33.0 million in oil, natural gas and NGL revenue was primarily driven by the divestiture of our East Texas, Oklahoma and our non-operated Eagle Ford assets in 2025. Oil revenues for our Beta and Bairoil assets were $37.4 million and $39.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The change in oil revenue at Beta and Bairoil was primarily due to lower realized oil commodity prices.
Other revenues were $0.2 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease of $1.5 million in other revenue was primarily driven by the divestiture of our East Texas, Oklahoma and our non-operated Eagle Ford assets in 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, other revenues primarily consisted of $0.1 million for pipeline transportation income. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, other revenues consisted of service revenues of $0.9 million with respect to our wholly owned subsidiary, Magnify Energy Services, and iodine sales of $0.7 million.
Lease operating expenses were $22.2 million and $37.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. On a per Boe basis, lease operating expenses were $38.20 and $23.28 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease of $15.2 million in lease operating expense was primarily driven by the divestiture of our East Texas, Oklahoma and our non-operated Eagle Ford assets in 2025. Lease operating expenses for Beta and Bairoil were $22.0 million and $27.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in lease operating expenses at Beta and Bairoil was primarily driven by lower CO2 costs and electricity at Bairoil and lower base costs at Beta.
Gathering, processing and transportation expenses were $0.8 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. On a per Boe basis, gathering, processing and transportation expenses were $1.31 and $2.67 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease of $3.5 million in gathering, processing and transportation expenses was primarily driven by the divestiture of our East Texas, Oklahoma and our non-operated Eagle Ford assets in 2025. Gathering, processing and transportation expenses for Beta were $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Taxes other than income were $2.3 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. On a per Boe basis, taxes other than income were $4.03 and $2.73 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease of $2.0 million in taxes other than income was primarily driven by the divestiture of our East Texas, Oklahoma and our non-operated Eagle Ford assets in 2025. Taxes other than income at Beta and Bairoil were $2.3 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in taxes other than income was primarily driven by lower production taxes and lower NOx credits purchased.
Depreciation, depletion & amortization (“DD&A”) expenses were $5.7 million and $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease of $2.8 million in DD&A expense was primarily driven by the divestiture of our East Texas, Oklahoma and our non-operated Eagle Ford assets in 2025. DD&A expenses for Beta and Bairoil were $5.6 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
General and administrative expenses were $8.9 million and $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The change in general and administrative expenses was primarily related to (i) a decrease of $1.6 million in acquisition and divestiture costs; (ii) a decrease of $0.5 million for salaries and other payroll benefits, (iii) a decrease of $0.1 million in legal expense, partially offset by (i) an increase of $0.3 million in severance expense, (ii) an increase of $0.6 million due to the elimination of COPAS overhead charges and (iii) an increase of $0.2 million in stock compensation expense. In addition, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 included a credit of $0.5 million for the management fees received for the transition services related to the divestiture of our East Texas and Oklahoma assets.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We include in this report the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA and provide our reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), and net cash flows from operating activities, our most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss)
We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for unrealized loss (gain) on commodity derivative instruments, acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, impairment expense, unusual and infrequent items, and the income tax expense or benefit of these adjustments using our federal statutory tax rate. This measure is not meant to disassociate these items from management’s performance but rather is intended to provide helpful information to investors interested in comparing our performance between periods. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is not considered to be an alternative to net income (loss) reported in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted net income (loss) | | $ | 5,260 | | $ | 5,308 |
| (1) | The federal statutory rates were utilized for all periods presented. |
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income or cash flows as determined by GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss):
Plus:
| ● | Interest expense; |
| ● | Income tax expense; |
| ● | DD&A; |
| ● | Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets (including oil and natural gas properties); |
| ● | Accretion of AROs; |
| ● | Loss on commodity derivative instruments; |
| ● | Cash settlements received on expired commodity derivative instruments; |
| ● | Amortization of gain associated with terminated commodity derivatives; |
| ● | Losses on sale of assets; |
| ● | Share-based compensation expenses; |
| ● | Exploration costs; |
| ● | Acquisition and divestiture related expenses; |
| ● | Reorganization items, net; |
| ● | Severance payments; and |
36
Table of Contents
| ● | Other non-routine items that we deem appropriate. |
Less:
| ● | Interest income; |
| ● | Income tax benefit; |
| ● | Gain on commodity derivative instruments; |
| ● | Cash settlements paid on expired commodity derivative instruments; |
| ● | Gains on sale of assets and other, net; and |
| ● | Other non-routine items that we deem appropriate. |
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. 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 structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a widely followed measure of operating performance and may also be used by investors to measure our ability to meet debt service requirements.
In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA as an additional measure to evaluate actual cash flow available to develop existing reserves or acquire additional oil and natural gas properties.
The following tables present our reconciliation of the Company’s net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and cash flows from operating activities to Adjusted EBITDA, our most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, for each of the periods indicated.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview. The divestitures reduced our ongoing capital requirements and streamlined our operating profile, which we believe positions us with greater financial flexibility. Following the payoff of the debt facility, we no longer have any outstanding borrowings.
38
Table of Contents
Our ability to finance our operations, including funding capital expenditures and acquisitions, to meet our indebtedness obligations, to refinance our indebtedness or to meet our collateral requirements will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources have historically been cash flows generated by operating activities, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, equity and debt capital markets and proceed from the sale of assets. However, future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including the level of our oil and NGL production and the prices we receive for our oil production, and significant additional capital expenditures will be required to more fully develop our properties. We cannot assure you that operations and other needed capital will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. We anticipate funding our 2026 capital program from cash on hand and internally generated cash flow but retain the flexibility to utilize borrowings under debt facilities available to us, and/or to access the debt and equity capital markets. As we pursue reserve and production growth, we plan to monitor which capital resources, including equity and debt financings, are available to us to meet our future financial obligations, planned capital expenditure activities and liquidity requirements.
Based on our current oil price expectations, we believe existing cash and cash equivalents, any positive cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to support working capital, capital expenditures and other cash requirements for at least the next 12 months and, based on our current expectations, for the foreseeable future thereafter.
Capital Markets. We do not currently anticipate any near-term capital markets activity, but we will continue to evaluate the availability of public debt and equity for funding capital needs.
Hedging. Commodity hedging has been and remains an important part of our strategy to reduce cash flow volatility. Our hedging activities are intended to support oil and NGL prices at targeted levels and to manage our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. We intend to enter into commodity derivative contracts at times and on terms desired to maintain a portfolio of commodity derivative contracts covering at least 25% - 75%, depending on availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, of our estimated production from total proved developed producing reserves over a one-year period at any given point of time. We may, however, from time to time, hedge more or less than this approximate amount. Additionally, we may take advantage of opportunities to modify our commodity derivative portfolio to change the percentage of our hedged production volumes when circumstances suggest that it is prudent to do so. Market conditions may also impact our ability to enter into future commodity derivative contracts.
We evaluate counterparty risks related to our commodity derivative contracts and trade credit. Should any of these financial counterparties not perform, we may not realize the benefit of some of our hedges under lower commodity prices. We sell our oil to a small number of purchasers. Non-performance by a customer could also result in a loss.
Capital Expenditures. Our total capital expenditures were approximately $21.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which were primarily related to the development program at Beta.
Working Capital. Working capital is the amount by which current assets exceed current liabilities. Our working capital requirements are primarily driven by changes in accounts receivable and accounts payable, as well as the classification of our debt outstanding. These changes are impacted by changes in the prices of commodities that we buy and sell. In general, our working capital requirements increase in periods of rising commodity prices and decrease in periods of declining commodity prices. However, our working capital needs do not necessarily change at the same rate as commodity prices because both accounts receivable and accounts payable are impacted by the same commodity prices. In addition, the timing of payments received by our customers or paid to our suppliers can also cause fluctuations in working capital because we settle with most of our larger customers on a monthly basis and often near the end of the month. We expect that our future working capital requirements will be impacted by these same factors. From time-to-time, our working capital will reflect a deficit, while at other times it will reflect a surplus. This fluctuation is not unusual.
As of March 31, 2026, we had working capital (excluding commodity derivatives) of $34.6 million primarily from cash on hand of $41.5 million, accounts receivable of $19.9 million and prepaid expenses of $23.9 million partially offset by accrued liabilities of $20.7 million, revenues payable of $7.5 million, and accounts payable of $22.5 million.

Debt Agreement
Revolving Credit Facility. On December 31, 2025, we amended the Revolving Credit Facility with Citizens Bank, as administrative agent. As of March 31, 2026, the borrowing base under the facility was $25.0 million with elected commitments of $15.0 million. At March 31, 2026, the Company had no loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $15.0 million of available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.
As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all the financial covenants (current ratio and total leverage ratio) and non-financial covenants associated with the Revolving Credit Facility.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. As previously disclosed in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2025, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s lack of appropriate control processes and activities to sufficiently mitigate for changes in personnel with the necessary technical and accounting knowledge, experience, and training. Because of this material weakness, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026.
41
Table of Contents
The control deficiency has not resulted in a material error or misstatements to our financial statements or the need to revise any previously published financial results. However, the control deficiency could have resulted in a misstatement of one or more account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, and accordingly, we determined that the control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
Notwithstanding this material weakness, our management concluded that our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Our management is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment. In response to the identified material weakness above, management, with the oversight of the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company, is taking comprehensive actions to remediate the above material weakness. Our remediation plans include the following:
| ● | Strengthening documentation for management’s interpretation of technical accounting treatment; and |
| ● | Enhancing training and providing additional support for all participants in the accounting processes. |
We may also conclude that additional measures may be required to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which may necessitate additional implementation and evaluation time. We will continue to assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and take steps to remediate the material weakness expeditiously. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remediated controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. These remediation efforts are ongoing, and the material weakness has not yet been fully remediated as of March 31, 2026.
Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, with the exception of the remediation efforts related to the material weakness discussed above.
The certifications required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, respectively, to this quarterly report.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
For a discussion of the legal proceedings associated with the Incident, see Note 16 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this quarterly report and the annual financial statements and related notes included in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Future litigation may be necessary, among other things, to defend ourselves by determining the scope, enforceability, and validity of claims. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS.
Our business faces many risks. Any of the risks discussed elsewhere in this quarterly report and our other SEC filings could have a material impact on our business, financial position or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business operations. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A in our 2025 Form 10-K.
