Battalion Oil (BATL) Q1 2026 loss widens on $46.9M hedge hit
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Battalion Oil Corporation reported first quarter 2026 financial results, with total operating revenue of $39.2 million versus $47.5 million a year earlier as lower commodity prices more than offset higher volumes. Average daily production rose to 12,578 Boe/d from 11,900 Boe/d.
The company posted a net loss available to common stockholders of $64.8 million, or $3.72 per share, driven largely by a $46.9 million unrealized derivative loss. Adjusted net loss was $16.2 million, or $0.93 per share. Adjusted EBITDA declined to $10.0 million from $15.1 million. As of March 31, 2026, Battalion had $162.5 million of term loan debt and $54.3 million of liquidity, helped by $60.1 million of proceeds from an asset sale that also reduced leverage.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Revenue and earnings deterioration: Q1 2026 revenue declined to $39.2 million from $47.5 million, while adjusted EBITDA fell to $10.0 million from $15.1 million and adjusted diluted loss per share was $0.93, indicating materially weaker profitability.
Insights
Q1 shows solid operating gains but sharply weaker earnings from hedging losses.
Battalion Oil grew volumes and cut unit costs, yet weaker pricing and derivatives drove results. Revenue fell to $39.2 million from $47.5 million despite production rising to 12,578 Boe/d as lower realized prices reduced top-line performance.
Unit economics improved: lease operating expense dropped to $9.82 per Boe, gathering to $9.94 per Boe, and adjusted G&A held near $3.02 per Boe. However, a $46.9 million unrealized derivative loss swung net income from a $6.0 million profit to a $56.5 million loss.
Adjusted EBITDA declined to $10.0 million from $15.1 million, and adjusted diluted loss per share was $0.93. Management highlights asset sales, a new midstream deal, and planned refinancing and infrastructure projects as key levers for 2026, while the actual impact will depend on execution of those initiatives.

Battalion Oil Corporation Announces First Quarter 2026 Financial and Operating Results
HOUSTON, TEXAS – May 13, 2026 – Battalion Oil Corporation (NYSE American: BATL, “Battalion” or the “Company”) today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2026.
Key Highlights
| ● | The Company ended the quarter with positive equity of $157.1 million. This provides further basis for the Company to attain compliance with NYSE listing requirements |
| ● | Reduced net debt (gross debt less cash and reinvestment proceeds) to $108.3 million vs $180.2 million in Q4 2025 |
| ● | Divested West Quito Assets for net proceeds of $60.1 million, utilizing $45.6 million to repay amounts outstanding under our Term Loan |
| ● | Executed a private placement to an institutional investor for purchase of common stock at $5.50 per share for total gross proceeds of $15.0 million |
| ● | Converted 7,803 shares of preferred stock to 1.8 million common shares at a conversion price of $6.21 per share |
| ● | Acquired 7,090 net acres and production directly adjacent to our Monument Draw asset for 485,000 shares of common stock |
| ● | Generated first quarter 2026 sales volumes of 12,578 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Boe/d”) (47% oil), an increase from 11,207 Boe/d in Q4 2025 |
| ● | Lease operating and workover expense per BOE reduced by ~24% vs Q4 2025 |
| ● | Continued strategic negotiations related to refinancing, a carried drilling venture, and infrastructure to place Monument Draw oil production on a pipeline rather than trucking to sales |
| ● | “Cube” style development planned in additional proven benches to greatly expand inventory |
Management Comments
The Company continues to make significant progress both operationally and strategically. Production volumes continue to benefit from the termination of the gas treating agreement and subsequent entry into a long-term treating agreement with a proven midstream partner. The sale of our West Quito Assets resulted in a substantial reduction of debt. The production impact of selling the assets was more than offset by increased flow in Monument Draw. Ongoing strategic negotiations should further improve the balance sheet, reduce operating costs and create outsized returns for our 2026 development plans.
“We continue to focus on improving our balance sheet and maximizing returns from our holdings in Monument Draw. Q1 2026 was an inflection point for the Company. The sale of our West Quito Assets transformed our leverage profile. Changing our gas midstream partner has been a gamechanger for the operational reliability of the Company. The team continued to improve field operations, lowering unit costs in all categories. Moving forward we are working to execute definitive documents for a refinancing, a carried drilling venture, and oil on pipe infrastructure. A refinancing will lower our cost to service debt as well as give additional flexibility for development of the asset base. The carried drilling
1
deal will move the Company toward multiple bench “cube” style development that has been very successfully employed by offset operators. We expect to execute definitive documents and commence drilling in late Q2 2026. Transporting our crude to sales point via pipeline rather than trucking will both save money and reduce environmental exposure. This project is expected to come online in early Q3 2026 and save the Company up to $6 million annually. 2026 has been and continues to be a very exciting year for the Company,” said Matt Steele, Chief Executive Officer of Battalion.
Results of Operations
Average daily net production and total operating revenue during the first quarter of 2026 were 12,578 Boe/d (47% oil) and $39.2 million, respectively, as compared to production and revenue of 11,900 Boe/d (53% oil) and $47.5 million, respectively, during the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in revenues in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025 is primarily attributable to a $9.73 decrease per Boe in average realized prices (excluding the impact of hedges) partially offset by an approximate 678 Boe/d increase in average daily production resulting from more consistent and reliable processing. Excluding the impact of hedges, Battalion realized approximately 97% of the average NYMEX oil price during the first quarter of 2026. Realized hedge losses totaled approximately $1.0 million during the first quarter of 2026.
Lease operating and workover expense was $9.82 per Boe in the first quarter of 2026 versus $11.01 per Boe in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in lease operating and workover expense per Boe year-over-year is primarily the result of increased production and lower workover activity. Gathering and other expenses were $9.94 per Boe in the first quarter of 2026 versus $11.20 per Boe in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in gathering and other expenses per Boe is primarily related to realized savings from capital projects and more reliable throughput resulting from entry into a long-term processing agreement with a publicly traded large-cap midstream provider in January 2026. General and administrative expenses were $3.76 per Boe in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $4.12 per Boe in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2026 is primarily due to increased production. Excluding non-recurring charges, general and administrative expenses would have been $3.02 per Boe in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $3.01 per Boe in the first quarter of 2025.
For the first quarter of 2026, the Company reported a net loss available to common stockholders of $64.8 million and a net loss of $3.72 per share available to common stockholders. The majority of this loss is due to unrealized non-cash derivative losses resulting from elevated oil prices at the end of the quarter. Unrealized derivative losses reflect the accounting remeasurement of the Company’s derivative portfolio based on changes in the market value of contracts that remain open and do not represent current-period cash inflows or outflows. After adjusting for selected items, the Company reported an adjusted diluted net loss available to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2026 of $16.2 million or an adjusted diluted net loss of $0.93 per common share (see Reconciliation for additional information). Adjusted EBITDA during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $10.0 million as compared to $15.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 (see Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation table for additional information).
Liquidity and Balance Sheet
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $162.5 million of term loan indebtedness outstanding and total liquidity made up of cash and cash equivalents and reinvestment proceeds of $54.3 million.

These financial measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, earnings per share and cash flows from operations, as defined by GAAP. These financial measures may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP financial measures that other companies may use and may not be useful in comparing the performance of those companies to Battalion's performance. |
