Matador Resources Company delivered significantly stronger Q2 2026 results, with total revenues of $1.19 billion (in thousands), up 33% from Q2 2025, driven mainly by a 53% higher realized oil price and modest volume growth. Net income attributable to shareholders increased to $390.7 million, or $3.15 per diluted share, versus $150.2 million, or $1.21 per share. Adjusted EBITDA was $781.0 million, compared with $594.2 million.
Total production reached 19.6 million BOE (215,631 BOE/d), 58% oil and 42% natural gas, with Delaware Basin assets providing nearly all output. For the first half of 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was $1.41 billion, funding heavy investment, including a $1.16 billion Delaware Basin lease acquisition and total drilling and completion and other capital spending above $2.1 billion. Long‑term debt rose to $4.22 billion, reflecting a new $750 million 2034 note and higher credit facility borrowings, partly offset by full retirement of 2028 notes. The company continued shareholder returns with a $0.375 per‑share quarterly dividend and share repurchases, while its active hedge program generated a $72.5 million realized loss but an $85.5 million unrealized gain in Q2.
Matador Resources Company reported a strong second quarter of 2026, with record average oil production of 126,106 Bbl/d and total production of 215,631 BOE/d, 3% higher than a year earlier and above guidance. Higher realized oil prices of $98.16/Bbl drove oil and natural gas revenues to $1,087.6 million, supporting net income attributable to shareholders of $390.7 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $781.0 million and adjusted free cash flow of $303.2 million.
On this performance, Matador raised full-year 2026 production guidance to 218,500–223,500 BOE/d and increased total capital expenditure guidance to $1.625–$1.725 billion while keeping drilling and completion costs per completed lateral foot at $785–$805. The company executed or agreed four strategic deals, including Federal leases and the Paloma and Ridge Runner acreage acquisitions, which together are expected to add roughly four years of high-quality drilling inventory with anticipated rates of return above 80%. Acquisitions are being funded with cash and its reserve-based lending credit facility, whose elected commitment was raised to $2.75 billion, and Matador targets a 1.0x leverage ratio by the end of 2027, primarily through free cash flow.
Matador Resources Company, through wholly owned subsidiaries, agreed to acquire all membership interests of Paloma Permian, LLC for a cash Unadjusted Purchase Price of $1,275,000,000, including $63,750,000 placed in escrow. The Paloma assets include 16,235 net undeveloped acres and estimated third-quarter production of about 11,100 BOE per day in Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico. Closing is subject to customary conditions and is expected early in the fourth quarter of 2026 with an effective date of June 1, 2026.
Matador also agreed to acquire primarily undeveloped acreage and producing properties in the Delaware Basin’s Woodford play from Ridge Runner Resources II, LLC, contributing to about 50,000 contiguous undeveloped net acres in the Woodford and bringing total Delaware Basin acreage to roughly 240,000 net acres. The first Woodford exploratory Rae’s Creek well recorded initial production over 2,200 BOE per day (72% oil) and is performing about 20% better than average Texas Woodford wells on a 60-day cumulative oil basis. The acquisitions are expected to be funded with cash on hand and borrowings under Matador’s reserve-based credit facility, supported by an anticipated $1 billion of adjusted free cash flow for full-year 2026 and a target leverage ratio near 1.0x within 12 to 18 months of closing.
Matador Resources Company reports that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.375 per share of common stock, payable on September 8, 2026 to shareholders of record as of August 10, 2026, under the dividend policy adopted in October 2025.
The company notes that any future dividends will be at the Board’s discretion based on operating results, cash flows, financial position, capital needs and other factors. Matador is an independent U.S. energy company focused on oil and natural gas shale and other unconventional plays.
