Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Amplify Energy reported a sharp turnaround in late 2025 and detailed an updated strategy focused on its Beta and Bairoil oil assets. Fourth-quarter 2025 net income was about $64.4 million versus a prior-quarter loss of $21.0 million, mainly from gains on asset sales, while Adjusted EBITDA was $21.5 million and free cash flow was $2.0 million.

For full-year 2025 the company earned net income of roughly $44.0 million, generated Adjusted EBITDA of $80.2 million, but posted negative free cash flow of about $16.1 million after $82.3 million of capital spending. Divestitures of East Texas and Oklahoma allowed Amplify to repay all credit-facility borrowings, leaving no long-term debt and over $60 million of cash at year-end.

Year-end 2025 proved reserves at Beta and Bairoil totaled 38.1 MMBoe with PV‑10 of roughly $376 million, split between proved developed and undeveloped volumes. For 2026, management plans $45–$65 million of capital, primarily drilling 5–8 high-return wells at Beta, while targeting lower operating and G&A costs and guiding to Adjusted EBITDA of $20–$45 million.

Positive

  • Balance sheet de-risked: Asset divestitures allowed full repayment of the revolving credit facility, leaving no long-term debt and about $60.7 million of cash at December 31, 2025.
  • Improved core-asset economics: At year-end 2025, Beta and Bairoil held 38.1 MMBoe of proved reserves with PV‑10 near $376 million, and price-normalized PV‑10 rose 27% at Beta and 15% at Bairoil versus 2024.
  • High-return drilling inventory: The new Joulters D‑Sand type curve at Beta targets about 670,000 barrels EUR per well and >100% IRR at $65 WTI, with 29 identified D‑Sand locations supporting 2026–beyond development.

Negative

  • Weaker cash generation: 2025 Adjusted EBITDA declined to about $80.2 million from $103.0 million in 2024, and full-year free cash flow was negative roughly $16.1 million after $82.3 million of capital investment.
  • Smaller overall reserve value base: Company-wide PV‑10 fell from about $735.8 million at December 31, 2024 to roughly $376.4 million at December 31, 2025, reflecting portfolio simplification and reserve changes.
  • 2026 outlook implies lower scale: Guidance for 2026 Adjusted EBITDA of $20–$45 million and capital of $45–$65 million suggests more modest near-term earnings versus recent historical levels while Beta development ramps.

Insights

Amplify exits 2025 debt-free, refocuses on two core oil assets but guides to modest 2026 EBITDA.

Amplify Energy used proceeds from East Texas and Oklahoma divestitures to repay all credit-facility borrowings, ending 2025 with no long-term debt and cash of about $60.7 million. The portfolio is now concentrated in the offshore Beta field and the Bairoil CO₂-flood asset.

Operationally, 2025 Adjusted EBITDA fell to about $80.2 million from $103.0 million in 2024, and full-year free cash flow was negative $16.1 million due to heavy capital spending of $82.3 million. However, Beta and Bairoil proved reserves totaled 38.1 MMBoe with PV‑10 near $376 million, and price-normalized PV‑10 at both assets improved year over year.

For 2026, the company plans $45–$65 million of capital, over 95% at Beta, with 5–8 planned D‑Sand wells and projected Adjusted EBITDA of $20–$45 million. Outcomes will depend on executing the Beta drilling program, sustaining Bairoil’s roughly $10 million-per-year cost savings, and future borrowing base redeterminations under the amended revolver maturing in 2028.

Amplify Energy Announces Strategic Initiatives Update, Year-End 2025 Proved Reserves, Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results, and 2026 Development Plans and Guidance

 

HOUSTON, March 9, 2026 -- Amplify Energy Corp. (NYSE: AMPY) (“Amplify,” the “Company,” “us,” or “our”) announced today updates to its strategic initiatives, year-end 2025 proved reserves, operating and financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2025, and full-year 2026 development plans and guidance for the Company.

 

Strategic Initiatives Update

 

In the third quarter of 2025, Amplify communicated its strategic plan with three core tenets: (1) simplify the portfolio, (2) strengthen the balance sheet, and (3) focus resources on our assets with the highest potential upside opportunities.

 

In 2025, the Company made significant progress on all three fronts. Key highlights include:

 

·Completed six separate transactions for total consideration of approximately $250 million (excluding certain post-closing adjustments)

 

oIn the fourth quarter, Amplify closed three divestitures representing a complete exit of our interests in East Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Magnify

 

·Repaid all outstanding debt under the credit facility

 

oAs of December 31, 2025, Amplify had approximately $61 million in cash and cash equivalents

 

·Continued the Beta development program and significantly reduced operating costs at Bairoil

 

oAt Beta, Amplify drilled and completed four wells, that in total exceeded our pre-drill type curves

 

oAt Bairoil, Amplify implemented cost saving initiatives lowering annual run-rate lease operating expenses by approximately $10 million

 

Dan Furbee, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are pleased to report that our strategic plan is delivering the results we set out to achieve. Last year, we committed to simplifying our portfolio, strengthening our balance sheet, and focusing our resources on the assets that we believe have substantial long-term value creation potential. With the successful divestiture of our East Texas and Oklahoma assets, we have executed a key milestone of that strategy. These transactions have enabled us to eliminate debt and build a strong cash position, giving us greater financial flexibility and a sharper focus on the opportunities that drive meaningful growth.”

Mr. Furbee continued, “We are excited about the continued success we are having with our drilling program at Beta, which has increased our confidence regarding the future inventory of the field for this prolific asset. Furthermore, we have started to realize meaningful cost savings at Bairoil, and we believe additional Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS) initiatives could further increase future cash flow associated with that asset.”

 

Mr. Furbee concluded, “I am extremely proud of the discipline and focus our team demonstrated throughout the second half of 2025. The on-going execution of our strategic priorities has positioned the company to significantly add value to our shareholders.”

 

2025 Year-End Proved Reserve Update

 

Using SEC prices, the 2025 year-end estimated proved reserves at Beta and Bairoil totaled 38.1 MMBoe, reflecting a year-over-year increase of approximately 2.6 MMBoe at these properties. Of the 38.1 MMBoe of total proved reserves, approximately 65% (24.6 MMBoe) were proved developed reserves, while approximately 35% (13.5 MMBoe) were proved undeveloped reserves.

 

At year-end 2025, Amplify’s total proved reserves and proved developed reserves had PV-10 values of approximately $376 million and $195 million, respectively, using SEC pricing. At Beta, on a price normalized basis, the PV-10 of our proved reserves was up 27% compared to year-end 2024. This increase is due to converting four Beta PUDs to PDP, adding new PUDs to our inventory, and increasing the type curve on future PUD locations. At Bairoil, on a price normalized basis, the PV-10 of our proved reserves was up 15% compared to year-end 2024 due to the cost saving initiatives implemented in 2025. Details of the Company’s reserves are provided in the table below. Additionally, Amplify has provided more information regarding its Beta development program and the substantial value potential of the field in its latest investor presentation, which is available on its investor relations website.

Key Financial Results – 4th Quarter

 

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company reported net income of approximately $64.4 million compared to a net loss of $21.0 million in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to the gain on the sale of its East Texas and Oklahoma assets in the fourth quarter. Excluding the impact of the gain, and additional other one-time impacts, Amplify generated an Adjusted Net Loss of $10.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.

 

Fourth quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA was $21.5 million, and free cash flow was $2.0 million. Amplify’s fourth quarter results include the impact of the East Texas and Oklahoma assets through their respective closing date.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, average daily production for Beta and Bairoil was approximately 6.6 MBopd (100% oil production). Beta production was approximately 6% lower than the prior quarter, primarily driven by the previously announced planned shut-in to complete an upgrade of a subsea flowline connecting Platform Eureka to Platform Elly. Bairoil production was approximately 5% lower than the prior quarter due to the completion of the CO2 compression optimization project. Despite lower production, the asset was more profitable due to reduced power costs realized by implementing the compression optimization project.

Costs and Expenses

 

Lease operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 were approximately $29.7 million, down $5.9 million compared to the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower CO2 and electricity costs at Bairoil and fewer workover projects at Beta. In total, lease operating expenses at Beta and Bairoil were $21.3 million in the fourth quarter, down $5.6 million compared to the prior quarter.

 

Severance and ad valorem taxes in the fourth quarter were approximately $3.5 million, a decrease of $0.2 million compared to $3.7 million in the prior quarter. Severance and ad valorem taxes as a percentage of revenue were approximately 6.5% in the fourth quarter.

 

Amplify incurred $3.5 million, or $2.25 per Boe, of gathering, processing and transportation (GP&T) expenses in the fourth quarter, compared to $5.2 million, or $2.89 per Boe, in the prior quarter. Going forward, Amplify expects lower GP&T costs with the divestitures of East Texas and Oklahoma.

 

4

 

 

Cash G&A expenses in the fourth quarter were $5.1 million compared to $6.7 million in the prior quarter. The decrease in the quarter was primarily due to reclassing certain accrued expenses as severance expense as a result of the East Texas and Oklahoma transactions. In 2026, Amplify expects annual G&A costs of $17 to $22 million.

 

In the fourth quarter, depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense totaled $5.2 million and net interest expense was $4.6 million. In 2026, Amplify expects net interest expense to be significantly lower following repayment of all outstanding balances under the credit facility. Going forward, interest expense will be primarily related to surety bond premiums for the Beta asset.

 

Amplify recorded a $1.8 million current income tax benefit for the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company also does not expect any material income tax impact from the divested assets.

 

Key Financial Results - 2025

 

For full year 2025, the Company generated net income of approximately $44.0 million compared to $12.9 million in 2024. Net cash provided by operating activities was $49.2 million compared to $51.3 million in the prior year. In 2025, Amplify’s average production was 18.4 Mboepd, while the company generated Adjusted EBITDA of $80.2 million and an Adjusted Net Loss of $5.6 million. Full year free cash flow totaled negative $16.1 million. Due to significant changes in Amplify’s asset portfolio (as a result of the aforementioned divestitures), future performance is expected to vary significantly from prior periods.

 

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Capital Investments

 

Cash capital investment during the fourth quarter of 2025 was approximately $16.2 million. During the fourth quarter, the Company’s capital allocation was primarily invested in development drilling, recompletions and the subsea flowline upgrade at Beta.

 

The following table details Amplify’s capital invested during the fourth quarter of 2025:

2026 Operational Plan

 

With a simplified portfolio, Amplify’s operational focus in 2026 and beyond will be developing the highly economic drilling opportunities at Beta and continuing to reduce costs at Bairoil while exploring opportunities to benefit from CCUS initiatives.

 

Beta

 

In 2024 and 2025, Amplify implemented a development and delineation program at Beta which included six drilled and completed wells. With a strengthened balance sheet, we are initiating a more consistent development program and anticipate drilling and completing five to eight wells in 2026, with the majority of the development focused on the Joulters fault block in the southern portion of the field. We intend to complete four wells through June and will re-evaluate the development pace for the second half of 2026.

 

Of the six wells completed to date, five wells were completed in the D-Sand (primary target), and one well was completed in the C-Sand (i.e., C48). Of the D-Sand completions, three wells were completed in the Joulters fault block (i.e., C59, C54, and C08) and two wells were completed in the Main fault block (i.e., A50, C61). The development in the Joulters fault block has been very consistent to date with minimal drilling hazards encountered and consistent production results with an average IP30 of 680 Bopd and an average completed lateral length of 862 feet. The Main fault block development has yielded solid, but less consistent results. For example, the A50 well, completed in June 2024, has a lateral length of only 266 feet but has performed well with an IP30 rate of 720 Bopd and current production of approximately 200 Bopd. The C61 well, completed in the Main fault block in October 2025, has a completed lateral length of 700 feet due to drilling into an unanticipated fault in the D-Sand resulting in an IP30 rate of only 170 Bopd and current production of approximately 120 Bopd. Based on these results, we intend to focus our 2026 drilling program primarily on the Joulters fault block with targeted completion lateral lengths of 1,000 feet to 1,500 feet per well.

 

At Beta, the D-Sand is our current development priority, with all 2026 development planned in that target interval. We have identified 29 D-Sand drilling opportunities, with 22 locations in the Joulters fault block and 7 locations in the Main fault block. The average lateral length of this inventory is approximately 1200 feet. In addition to the currently identified inventory, Amplify’s D-Sand inventory may change over time based on well results, potentially extended completed lateral lengths, and further delineation of the water-oil contact in the Joulters fault block.

 

In addition to the D-Sand, Amplify has identified upside in the F-Sand and has plans to delineate its potential in the future as the Company’s secondary target. Similar to the D-Sand, the F-Sand has very attractive petrophysical characteristics and significant remaining oil to be recovered. The tertiary target in the Beta reservoir’s development is the C-Sand, which we believe can achieve good results in select areas of the Beta field. The C-Sand is currently classified as a “bailout” zone that can be completed if Amplify encounters drilling challenges while drilling to the D or F Sands, as was done with the C48 well.

As noted above, Amplify’s 2026 drilling campaign will focus on the D-Sand interval primarily within the Joulters fault block. Amplify estimates the D-Sand in the Joulters fault block has approximately 70 million barrels of oil in place, with an estimated total recovery of over 20 million barrels of oil. In addition to the high remaining oil in place, this fault block was historically less developed, making it very attractive for full-scale development as currently planned. As opposed to the Main fault block, Joulters had minimal development in the 1980’s (during the initial development of the Beta field) due to its distance from the Ellen and Eureka platforms in combination with the limited available technology at the time. The three wells recently drilled in the Joulters fault block from the Eureka platform have proven that we can effectively drill and complete horizontal wells (i.e., 1000+ feet in the completed section) in this prolific portion of the field.

 

We are providing a new type curve for the D-Sand interval in the Joulters fault block. The new type curve is derived from the volumetrics of the Joulters fault block and the results of the three Joulters wells drilled and completed to date. The type curve projection, based on a $6.5 million drilling and completion cost and a 1000’ completed lateral length, has an EUR of approximately 670,000 barrels of oil and generates >100% IRR assuming a flat WTI price of $65 per barrel. This type curve is approximately 25% higher than the previous Beta type curve. The Main fault block will remain the same as the previous type curve. The Main fault block type curve has an approximate EUR of 540,000 barrels of oil and generates >70% IRRs utilizing the same capital cost and lateral length assumptions as the Joulters type curve. Please see our recently released investor presentation for more details on our Beta assets.

 

Bairoil

 

At Bairoil, the Company continues to enhance profitability by reducing the operating costs of the field. In the fourth quarter, Amplify started realizing the benefits of the previously announced new CO2 purchase contract and completion of the CO2 compression optimization project. In combination, these two initiatives are expected to generate annualized lease operating expense savings of approximately $10 million per year, which is represented in our 2026 full year-guidance.

 

The Company remains highly encouraged by the upside potential at Bairoil, particularly its suitability for future CCUS development. Bairoil is strategically located along a major CO2 transportation corridor, as highlighted in our most recent investor presentation. In 2025, Bairoil achieved certification under the CSA ANSI/ISO EOR Operations Management Plan, an important milestone in positioning the asset to qualify for Section 45Q tax credits. In addition, Bairoil reservoirs contain substantial available pore space, creating a meaningful opportunity to unlock incremental value through CCUS initiatives. Amplify and its advisor, Marathon Capital, are undertaking a strategic evaluation of Bairoil’s potential as a large carbon storage site and its possible integration into broader low-carbon power and industrial projects.

Revolving Credit Facility and Liquidity Update

 

In the fourth quarter, Amplify used a portion of the transaction proceeds from the East Texas and Oklahoma transactions to pay down all of its debt under the credit facility. On December 31, 2025, Amplify worked with its lenders to amend and extend the credit facility. The initial borrowing base under the amended revolving credit facility is $25 million with elected commitments of $15 million, and the term of the maturity of the credit agreement was extended by 18 months through 2028. The next regularly scheduled borrowing base redetermination is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2026.

 

As of December 31, 2025, Amplify had no outstanding balance under its revolving credit facility with more than $60 million in cash on the balance sheet.

 

Full-Year 2026 Guidance

 

The Company is projecting total capital investment in 2026 of $45 to $65 million with over 95% allocated to Beta. Beta capital is primarily focused on development drilling, with $10 to $12 million allocated for necessary facility upgrades as we grow production. As previously stated, we anticipate completing five to eight wells at Beta in 2026, with four wells drilled and completed in the first half of the year.

 

At Bairoil, we are guiding capital of approximately $2 to $3 million for various facility upgrades associated with the CO2 plant and other infrastructure.

 

The following guidance is subject to the cautionary statements and limitations described under the "Forward-Looking Statements" caption at the end of this press release. Amplify's 2026 guidance is based on its current expectations regarding capital investment levels and flat commodity prices for crude oil of $65/Bbl (WTI) and on the assumption that market demand and prices for oil will continue at levels that allow for economic production of these products.

(3) Amplify believes that a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP cannot be made available without unreasonable efforts. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures would require Amplify to predict the timing and likelihood of future transactions and other items that are difficult to accurately predict. Neither of these forward-looking measures, nor their probable significance, can be quantified with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures is not provided.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release and accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), free cash flow, PV-10, and cash G&A. The accompanying schedules provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Amplify’s non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, net cash flows provided by operating activities, standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Amplify’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate such measures in the same manner as Amplify does.

 

Adjusted EBITDA. Amplify defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus Interest expense, net; Income tax expense (benefit); DD&A; Impairment expense; Accretion of AROs; Loss or (gain) on commodity derivative instruments; Cash settlements received or (paid) on expired commodity derivative instruments; Amortization of gain associated with terminated commodity derivatives; Losses or (gains) on sale of properties; Share-based compensation expenses; Exploration costs; Acquisition and divestiture related costs; Loss on settlement of AROs; Bad debt expense; Severance payments; Pipeline incident loss and Other non-routine items that we deem appropriate. Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by management and external users of Amplify’s financial statements, such as investors, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (1) its operating performance as compared to other companies in Amplify’s industry without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis; (2) the ability of its assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest and support Amplify’s indebtedness; and (3) the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. Since Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies, the Adjusted EBITDA data presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA are net income and net cash provided by operating activities.

 

Adjusted Net Income (Loss). Amplify defines 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. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excludes the impact of unusual and infrequent items affecting earnings that vary widely and unpredictably. 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.

 

11

 

 

Free cash flow. Amplify defines free cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash interest expense and capital expenditures. Free cash flow is an important non-GAAP financial measure for Amplify’s investors since it serves as an indicator of the Company’s success in providing a cash return on investment. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to free cash flow are net income and net cash provided by operating activities.

 

PV-10. PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the present value of estimated future cash inflows from proved oil and natural gas reserves that are calculated using the unweighted arithmetic average first-day-of-the-month prices for the prior 12 months, less future development and operating costs, discounted at 10% per annum to reflect the timing of future cash flows. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to PV-10 is standardized measure. PV-10 differs from standardized measure in its treatment of estimated future income taxes, which are excluded from PV-10. Amplify believes the presentation of PV-10 provides useful information because it is widely used by investors in evaluating oil and natural gas companies without regard to specific income tax characteristics of such entities. PV-10 is not intended to represent the current market value of our estimated proved reserves. PV-10 should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the standardized measure as defined under GAAP.

 

Cash G&A. Amplify defines cash G&A as general and administrative expense, less share-based compensation expense; acquisition and divestiture costs; bad debt expense; and severance payments. Cash G&A is an important non-GAAP financial measure for Amplify’s investors since it allows for analysis of G&A spend without regard to share-based compensation and other non-recurring expenses which can vary substantially from company to company. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to cash G&A is total G&A expense.
