See “Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for descriptions of the above non-GAAP measures as well as a reconciliation of these measures to the associated GAAP (as defined herein) measures.
Tyler Farquharson, President and CEO of Granite Ridge, commented, "We believe our first quarter demonstrated the capability of our asset base. Well performance across multiple basins exceeded our internal forecasts, highlighted by robust initial production from recently turned-in-line wells in the Permian, a direct validation of the high-graded drilling inventory our Operated Partnership program is designed to capture.
"The current commodity environment is dynamic, but our approach has not changed. We underwrite every opportunity to a 25% target IRR at strip pricing, a threshold our portfolio has consistently cleared across a range of commodity price environments, and we allocate capital toward the highest return opportunities available to us. The pipeline of acquisition and drilling opportunities generated by our Operated Partnership model is among the strongest we have seen, and we will continue to evaluate the opportunity set with discipline as the year progresses.
"Longer term, Granite Ridge is approaching an important inflection. As our production base matures and development capital aligns more closely with cash flow, we are positioned to generate meaningful free cash flow over the coming years. That trajectory, combined with our low leverage, robust hedge book, and ample liquidity, supports our commitment to delivering durable returns to shareholders."
Financial Results
Oil and natural gas sales for the first quarter of 2026 were $128.3 million. Net loss was $47.0 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, driven primarily by a $60.2 million non-cash mark to market loss on the Company’s hedge portfolio and an $11.2 million non-cash impairment. Excluding non-cash and special items, Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP) was $3.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDAX (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $71.0 million, compared to $91.4 million for the first quarter of 2025. Cash flow from operating activities was $58.3 million, including $3.4 million in working capital changes. Operating Cash Flow Before Working Capital Changes (non-GAAP) was $61.7 million.
Production Results
First quarter 2026 oil production volumes totaled 16,433 barrels (“Bbls”) per day, an 11% increase from the first quarter of 2025. Natural gas production for the first quarter of 2026 totaled 108,200 thousand cubic feet of natural gas (“Mcf”) per
day, a 24% increase from the first quarter of 2025. The Company’s daily production for the first quarter of 2026 grew 18% from the first quarter of the prior year to 34,467 Boe per day.
Oil, Natural Gas and Related Product Sales
The Company’s average realized price for oil and natural gas for the first quarter of 2026, excluding the effect of commodity derivatives, was $69.94 per Bbl and $2.55 per Mcf, respectively, compared to $69.18 per Bbl and $3.97 per Mcf realized in the first quarter of 2025.
Operating Costs
Lease operating expenses were $29.7 million in the first quarter of 2026, or $9.57 per Boe, a 55% increase on a per unit basis compared to the first quarter of 2025 as a result of increased saltwater disposal costs due to higher water cuts and flowback operations, surface equipment rentals, contract labor, and nonrecurring recognition of minimum volume commitment delinquencies. Production and ad valorem taxes were $8.2 million for the quarter, or 6.4% of oil and natural gas sales. During the quarter, general and administrative expenses totaled $9.1 million, or $2.93 per Boe, inclusive of $1.4 million of non-cash stock-based compensation.
Capital Expenditures and Operational Activity
Capital expenditures for the quarter were $68.4 million comprised of $58.3 million of development capital and $10.1 million of property acquisition costs. The Company closed 17 acquisitions in the Delaware and Utica Basins, adding an aggregate inventory of 3.0 net undeveloped locations.

Granite Ridge Resources Inc.
Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company believes certain non-GAAP performance measures may provide financial statement users with additional meaningful comparisons between current results, the results of its peers and the results of prior periods. In addition, the Company believes these measures are used by analysts and others in the valuation, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry. See the reconciliations throughout this release of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures for the periods indicated.
Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDAX
Adjusted EBITDAX is presented herein and reconciled from the GAAP measure of net income (loss) because of its wide acceptance by the investment community as a financial indicator.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before depletion and accretion expense, unrealized loss on derivatives - commodity derivatives, interest expense, net, non-cash stock-based compensation, income tax expense, impairment of long-lived assets, (gain) loss on equity investments and other, net. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income or cash flows as determined by GAAP.
The Company’s Adjusted EBITDAX measure provides additional information that may be used to better understand the Company’s operations. Adjusted EBITDAX is one of several metrics that the Company uses as a supplemental financial measurement in the evaluation of its business and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX 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 cost of depreciable and depletable assets. Adjusted EBITDAX, as used by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDAX is a widely followed measure of operating performance and is one of many metrics used by the Company’s management team and by other users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For example, Adjusted EBITDAX can be used to assess the Company’s operating performance and return on capital in comparison to other independent exploration and production companies without regard to financial or capital structure, and to assess the financial performance of the Company’s assets and the Company without regard to capital structure or historical cost basis.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the GAAP measure of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDAX for the periods indicated:

Reconciliation of Debt to Net Debt
The Company provides Net Debt, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Net Debt as current portion of long-term debt, plus long-term debt, net, less cash as of the balance sheet date. The Company’s Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDAX provides investors with insight into the Company’s leverage as of the measurement date.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share
The Company provides Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share represent earnings and diluted earnings per share determined under GAAP without regard to certain non-cash and nonrecurring items. The Company defines Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) as determined under GAAP excluding impairments of long-lived assets, unrealized loss on derivatives - commodity derivatives, (gain) loss on equity investments, and tax impact on above adjustments.
The Company defines Adjusted Earnings Per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted average number of diluted shares of common stock outstanding.
The Company believes these measures provide useful information to analysts and investors for analysis of its operating results on a recurring, comparable basis from period to period. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for earnings or diluted earnings per share as determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
The following table provides a reconciliation from the GAAP measure of net income (loss) to Adjusted Net Income, both in total and on a per diluted share basis, for the periods indicated:

Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Operating Cash Flow Before Working Capital Changes
The Company provides Operating Cash Flow (“OCF”) Before Working Capital Changes, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines OCF Before Working Capital Changes as net cash provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP excluding changes in operating assets and liabilities such as: changes in cash due to changes in operating assets and liabilities, revenue receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, prepaid and other current assets, and other liabilities and long-term payables. The Company believes OCF Before Working Capital Changes is an accepted measure of an oil and natural gas company’s ability to generate cash used to fund development and acquisition activities and service debt or pay dividends.
This non-GAAP measure should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities as an indicator of operating performance.
The following table provides a reconciliation from the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities to OCF Before Working Capital Changes:
| | | | | | | | | |
