Insights

Derivative mark-to-market and elevated debt are principal drivers of near-term earnings volatility.

The Company reported a $178.8M loss on commodity derivatives and $52.5M net interest expense for Q1 2026, resulting in a $140.1M net loss. These items, recorded in other expense, materially drove the quarter’s negative EPS.

Liquidity signals include $70.2M cash and $1.70B debt outstanding; management states it raised ~$92.7M of debt post-period and expects to fund significant capex (company estimates $750M–$810M over next 12 months). Subsequent filings will clarify financing plans and covenant status.

Open crude derivatives and non-hedge accounting drive earnings sensitivity to forward oil curves.

The Company discloses extensive crude derivative positions (swaps, collars, long calls) with Level 2 valuations; unrealized losses of $157.8M (component of total derivative loss). Derivatives are not hedge-designated, so mark-to-market flows through earnings.

Key watch items: realized cash settlements vs. unrealized mark movements in later filings, and whether hedging designation or contract revisions are implemented to reduce P&L volatility.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA excludes unrealized gains and losses on open commodity derivative contracts"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are statements regarding all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this Quarterly Report and our 2025 Annual Report and include statements regarding our current views, hopes, intentions, beliefs, or expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies, and position in the markets and the industries in which we operate.

Forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions, and expectations, taking into account currently known market conditions and other factors. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future events, actions, plans, or strategies is inherently uncertain and involves certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control.

our ability to replace reserves;

 

   

cybersecurity attacks;

 

   

the development of our software and its ability to continue identifying productive assets;

PHOENIX ENERGY ONE, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

Note 1. Business

Phoenix Energy One, LLC (“Phoenix Energy”) is a Delaware limited liability company focused on oil and gas operations and acquisitions primarily in the Williston Basin, North Dakota/Montana, the Uinta Basin, Utah, the Permian Basin, Texas, the Denver-Julesburg Basin, Colorado/Wyoming and the Powder River Basin, Wyoming. The Company was formed in April 2019 as Phoenix Capital Group Holdings, LLC and changed its name to Phoenix Energy One, LLC in January 2025. As used in these condensed consolidated financial statements, unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Phoenix Energy and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company’s strategy involves the acquisition of royalty assets, non-operated working interests, and operated leaseholds for the purpose of exploration, development, production, and sale of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, and other byproducts conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Phoenix Operating LLC (“PhoenixOp”), Firebird Services, LLC (“Firebird Services”), and Firebird Marketing, LLC (“Firebird Marketing”). PhoenixOp is a Delaware limited liability company formed in January 2022 to drill, complete and operate wells in the United States. Firebird Services is a Delaware limited liability company formed in October 2023 to perform saltwater disposal services on wells operated by PhoenixOp. Firebird Marketing is a Delaware limited liability company formed in March 2025 to take title to oil at or near the wellhead and market production to third-party purchasers. It manages commercial and logistical activities related to the sale of hydrocarbons, including transportation coordination, blending and quality optimization, scheduling, and counterparty negotiations, and assumes market, operational and credit risks related thereto. In return, Firebird Marketing may earn marketing margins based on market conditions and its ability to optimize sales execution.

Interim financial presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 annual financial statements”).

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation and principles of consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Phoenix Energy and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions with and between Phoenix Energy and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.

Liquidity risk and management’s plans

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company’s cash flows from operations will not be sufficient for the Company to continue operating and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk as its continued operation is dependent upon its ability to continue to obtain financing, either in the form of debt or equity, or by continuing to achieve profitable operations in order to satisfy its liabilities as they come due.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $358.0 million. The Company expects to repay its financial liabilities in the normal course of operations and to fund future operational and capital requirements through operating cash flows and through issuances of additional debt or equity. Since the balance sheet date and through the date of the filing of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had raised an additional $92.7 million of notes through its investor program (see Note 7 – Debt and Note 16 – Subsequent Events). Management believes its capital raises through its bond offerings will continue at or above this current pace.

The Company may need to conduct asset sales, which is not a planned course of action, and/or issue debt or equity securities if liquidity risk increases in any given period. The Company believes it has sufficient funds to meet foreseeable obligations by actively monitoring its credit facilities through use of the loans, asset sales, cost reductions and coordinating payment and revenue cycles.

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations

The Company is required to evaluate whether or not its current financial condition, including its sources of liquidity at the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, will enable the Company to meet its obligations as they come due within one year of the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements and to make a determination as to whether or not it is probable, under the application of this accounting guidance, that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. In applying applicable accounting guidance, we considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows, the Company’s obligations due over the next twelve months as well as the Company’s recurring business operating expenses, and believe that the Company has sufficient financial resources to operate beyond the next twelve months following the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the applicable reporting period of such statements. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are based on a number of significant estimates including quantities of oil, natural gas and NGL reserves that are the basis for the calculations of depreciation, depletion, amortization, and determinations of impairment of oil and natural gas properties. Reservoir engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas and there are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment along with estimated selling prices. As a result, reserve estimates may materially differ from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Inventory

Crude oil in storage tanks that has not yet been sold is classified as inventory and recorded within other current assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost determined using a weighted average cost method, and includes costs incurred to bring the inventory to its present location and condition.

Recent accounting standards not yet adopted

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure in the Company’s annual and interim consolidated financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses, including depletion, depreciation, and amortization recognized as part of crude oil and natural gas producing activities, cost of sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses, and employee compensation. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-03 can be applied prospectively or retrospectively at the Company’s election. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its financial statements and disclosures and its plans for adoption, including the transition method and adoption date.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”). ASU 2025-11 clarifies interim disclosure requirements and provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures. The update also incorporates a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events that occur after the end of the last annual reporting period. This update is effective for interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its financial statements and disclosures.

Accounting pronouncements not listed above were assessed and determined to not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 6. Derivatives

The Company periodically enters into commodity derivative contracts to manage its exposure to crude oil price risk. Additionally, the Company is required to hedge a portion of anticipated crude oil production for future periods pursuant to its debt covenants under the Fortress Credit Agreement, as further described in Note 7 – Debt. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative trading purposes.

The Company may enter into crude oil derivative contracts, including collars, fixed-price swaps, put options and call options, to hedge a portion of its anticipated future production and reduce exposure to commodity price volatility. Collars establish both a floor and a ceiling price on contracted volumes, allowing the Company to receive payments if index prices fall below the floor, while requiring payments if index prices exceed the ceiling. Fixed-price swaps establish a fixed price for contracted volumes, resulting in payments to the Company when the index price is below the fixed price and payments by the Company when the index price exceeds the fixed price. Long call options provide the Company with the right to purchase crude oil at a specified strike price and are used to provide price protection in rising commodity price environments in exchange for the payment of an option premium. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s derivatives were comprised of crude oil commodity derivative contracts indexed to the U.S. New York Mercantile Exchange West Texas Intermediate (“NYMEX WTI”). The Company has not designated its derivative contracts for hedge accounting; therefore, changes in the fair value of these instruments, as well as cash settlements, are recognized in earnings in the period incurred. All derivative contracts are recorded at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities and are presented on a net basis when a legally enforceable master netting arrangement exists with the counterparty.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a recurring basis, including the Company’s derivative instruments. The fair values of the Company’s derivative contracts are measured internally using established commodity futures price strips for the underlying commodity provided by a reputable third party, the contracted notional volumes, and time to maturity. These valuations are Level 2 inputs.

The following tables provide (i) fair value measurement information for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, (ii) the gross amounts of recognized derivative assets and liabilities, (iii) the amounts offset under master netting arrangements with counterparties, and (iv) the resulting net amounts presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The net amounts are classified as current or noncurrent based on their anticipated settlement dates.

Fortress Credit Agreement

In August 2024, the Company entered into a senior secured credit agreement with Fortress Credit Corp. (the “Fortress Credit Agreement”) as lender and administrative agent, which was subsequently amended to add additional term loan tranches and syndicated to include an additional institutional lender. In February 2026, the Fortress Credit Agreement was further amended to provide a $75.0 million term loan funded at closing and up to $225.0 million available on a discretionary basis. Proceeds are to be used to finance the development of the Company’s oil and gas properties in accordance with the approved plan of development provided in the Fortress Credit Agreement.

The all-in interest rate for the Fortress Term Loans was 10.8% and 11.1% at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Fortress Credit Agreement contains various customary covenants, including financial covenants that require the Company to maintain ratios around its maximum total secured leverage, minimum asset coverage, and working capital as of the last day of each calendar month or fiscal quarter, as the case may be.

On May 7, 2026, subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company obtained a waiver of noncompliance with its current ratio covenant as of March 31, 2026, which resulted primarily from the timing of accelerated well completion expenditures undertaken to capitalize on higher commodity prices.

Unregistered Debt Offerings

Regulation D Bonds

In March 2026, the Company approved an increase to the maximum offering amount of the August 2023 506(c) Bonds from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion.

Adamantium Securities

In March 2026, the Company amended the Adamantium Loan Agreement to increase the amount available to borrow under the agreement from $409.3 million to $609.3 million. Correspondingly, the offering amount of Adamantium Bonds being offered by Adamantium was also increased from $400.0 million to $600.0 million, and the Adamantium Secured Note from $8.6 million to $9.3 million (collectively, the “Adamantium Securities”).

Note 9. Preferred Equity

In September 2025, the Company completed its offering of the Series A Preferred Shares, which shares were listed on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol PHXE.P and commenced trading on September 30, 2025. The Company sold an aggregate of 2,704,023 Series A Preferred Shares at closing, which represented $67.6 million in initial liquidation preference at a public offering price of $20.00 per share for gross proceeds of $54.1 million. Offering costs of $6.2 million were recorded as a reduction of the gross proceeds. In addition, at issuance, the Company recorded a $2.4 million discount associated with the stepped distribution rate feature of the Series A Preferred Shares, which provides for increases in the distribution rate prior to the commencement of the 11.0% perpetual distribution rate in year five. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, $0.2 million of this discount was amortized.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company paid $1.7 million of distributions to the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares equal to $0.625 per share. In March 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized and declared a distribution on the Series A Preferred Shares equal to $0.625 per share, which was paid on April 15, 2026, to holders of record as of April 1, 2026, and totaled $1.7 million. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had accrued $1.5 million of dividends payable, which is included in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note 10. Equity-Based Compensation

The Company’s parent, Phoenix Equity, has granted equity awards to employees and non-employee service providers of the Company under the 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2024 Incentive Plan”).

A summary of the activity under the 2024 Incentive Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is presented below:

Nonvested at March 31, 2026

     2,963,436     
  

 

 

    

The Phantom Unit awards granted to employees are subject to both a performance condition and a service condition, each of which must be satisfied for the awards to vest. The performance condition requires the occurrence of an exit event (e.g., change in control) by the Company. No compensation cost will be recognized for the employee Phantom Unit awards unless and until the occurrence of such an exit event is deemed probable. As of March 31, 2026, the Company determined that the occurrence of a change in control event was not probable, and accordingly, no equity-based compensation expense was recognized in connection with these awards for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Phantom Unit awards granted to the non-employee service provider vest partially upon the grant date, with the remaining portion subject to a monthly vesting schedule based on a service condition. The Company recognized $0.1 million of equity-based compensation expense in connection with the Phantom Unit awards granted to the non-employee service provider for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The related liability is presented within other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was $194.4 million and $193.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested equity awards granted under the 2024 Incentive Plan, measured based on the fair value of the awards; that cost is expected to be recognized at the time a liquidity event occurs.

The fair value of each unit granted under the 2024 Incentive Plan was valued on the date of grant under an independent third-party valuation, which included a combination of an income approach, based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, and a market approach based on market data of comparable businesses. The weighted average assumptions used in the valuation of performance unit awards granted for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are presented in the table below:

 

     March 31, 2026  

Dividend yield(a)

     — 

Risk-free interest rate(b)

     3.73

Expected volatility(c)

     57.5

Expected term (in years)(d)

     5.0  

Discount for lack of marketability(e)

     30.0
 
(a)

The Company has no history or expectation of paying cash dividends on its awards.

(b)

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a term consistent with the expected life of the awards in effect at the time of grant.

(c)

Volatility was estimated based on the different interests being appraised, leveraging historical volatility for comparable publicly traded organizations within its industry. The Company lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies within the industry with characteristics similar to the Company.

(d)

The expected term represents the estimated period, in years, until a liquidity event occurs.

(e)

Discount for lack of marketability was determined using the Restricted Stock Studies, Chaffee Put Option, Finnerty’s Put Option, and Qualitative Mandelbaum Factor approaches.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

For a summary of the Company’s lease obligations, see Note 12 – Leases.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may become involved in other legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of ordinary course litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that the final outcome of these ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Drilling Rig Contracts

The Company has entered into drilling rig contracts to procure drilling services for wells operated by PhoenixOp. The contracts are short-term and provide a daily operating rate as consideration for services performed by the third-party provider. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was subject to $0.2 million of commitments under these contracts.

Natural Gas Processing Contracts

The Company has entered into contracts for mobile cryogenic gas processing units to process raw gas, produce and store NGL, and compress residue natural gas at wells operated by PhoenixOp. The contracts range from 6 months to 36 months and provide monthly facility and service fees as consideration for services performed by the third-party provider. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was subject to $5.7 million of commitments under these contracts.

Generator Contracts

The Company has entered into contracts with a third-party provider to supply generators used to provide power at wells operated by PhoenixOp. The contracts range from 12 months to 24 months and require monthly service payments for power generation and related equipment. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $10.0 million of remaining commitments under these contracts.

Saltwater Disposal Pump Contracts

The Company has entered into contracts for pumps which are used to inject produced water and flowback into its saltwater disposal facilities on wells for which PhoenixOp serves as the operator. The contracts provide for monthly payments and have terms of twelve months or less. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $1.4 million of remaining commitments under these contracts.

Delivery Commitments

PhoenixOp is subject to arrangements pursuant to which it has committed to deliver barrels of crude oil to a purchaser through December 31, 2030. PhoenixOp will be subject to a shortfall fee for failure to meet this commitment. As a part of these arrangements, PhoenixOp has dedicated to the counterparties certain rights to all oil extracted from its wells in certain properties in Dunn County, North Dakota. PhoenixOp has assessed the productivity potential of its leasehold in the area, as well as the feasibility of executing an operational plan to extract oil on its leasehold within the commitment period and dedication area, and deemed it to be reasonable to enter into such an agreement. The Company delivered 0.2 million barrels of crude oil during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and the remaining aggregate commitment under the contract as of March 31, 2026 is approximately 1.0 million barrels of crude oil.

Note 15. Segments

Segment operating profit is used as a performance metric by the CODM in determining how to allocate resources and assess performance as this measure provides insight into the segments’ operations and overall success of a segment for a given period. Segment operating profit is calculated as total segment revenue less operating costs attributable to the segment, which includes allocated corporate costs that are overhead in nature and not directly associated with the segments, such as certain general and administrative expenses, executive or shared-function payroll costs and certain limited marketing activities. Corporate costs are allocated to the segments based on usage and headcount, as appropriate. Segment operating profit excludes other income and expense, such as interest expense, interest income, gain (loss) on derivatives, loss on debt extinguishments, even though these amounts are allocated to the segments and provided to the CODM. Transactions between segments are accounted for on an accrual basis and are eliminated upon consolidation. Interest expense is allocated to the segments based on the carrying value of the oil and gas properties owned by the respective segment at the balance sheet date, and interest income and gain (loss) on derivatives are allocated using the same basis as corporate costs.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto presented in this Quarterly Report, as well as our audited financial statements and the related notes thereto and related management’s discussion and analysis in each case, included in our 2025 Annual Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs, and expected performance. These forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks, and uncertainties that may be outside of our control. Our actual results could differ materially from those disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those described in the section of our Quarterly Report entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” in the section of our 2025 Annual Report entitled “Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in our 2025 Annual Report. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.

Overview

We operate in the oil and gas industry and execute on a three-pronged strategy involving (i) direct drilling operations of operated working interests, (ii) the acquisition of royalty assets, and (iii) the acquisition of non-operated working interest assets. Our direct drilling operations are currently primarily focused on development efforts in the Williston Basin in North Dakota and Montana and the Powder River and Denver-Julesburg Basins in Wyoming. Our royalty and working interest acquisitions center around a variety of assets, including mineral interests, leasehold interests, overriding royalty interests, and perpetual royalty interests. These efforts have historically targeted assets in the Williston, Permian, Powder River, Uinta, and Denver-Julesburg Basins. We are agnostic as to geography and prioritize operational and asset potential when executing on our strategy.

Our Segments

We operate under three segments: Operating; Mineral and Non-operating; and Securities. Our Operating segment comprises our operations related to our drilling, extraction, and production activities, which today are conducted through PhoenixOp and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Firebird Services. The sale and marketing of our operated production are conducted through Firebird Marketing. Our Mineral and Non-operating segment comprises our operations for the acquisition of mineral interests and non-operated working interests in oil and gas properties, through which we share in the proceeds of the natural resources extracted and sold by the operator. Our Securities segment comprises our operations related to our capital raising activities associated with our debt securities offerings. Our management evaluates our performance and allocates resources based in part on segment operating profit, which is calculated as total segment revenue less operating expenses attributable to the segment, which includes allocated corporate costs.

First Quarter 2026 Financial and Operational Highlights

 

   

In February 2026, the Fortress Credit Agreement was amended to provide for a new $75.0 million facility under the discretionary commitments established by the October 2025 Amendment, reducing the commitments available on a discretionary basis from $300.0 million to $225.0 million.

 

   

In March 2026, we produced 1.23 million Bbls of crude oil, representing our highest monthly production volume to date.

 

   

We increased completion activity by ramping operations to three active hydraulic fracturing crews to capitalize on favorable commodity pricing and support accelerated development activity.

 

   

We disposed of approximately 11.5 million Bbls of produced water through our own saltwater disposal wells during the period, with approximately 98.6% of total produced water volumes handled internally through our operated facilities.

 

   

We rig released 22 wells, hydraulically fractured 11 wells and placed 22 wells on production. In addition, we placed three saltwater disposal wells on production.

 

   

We completed six drillouts in six days on the Charlene Ferrari 9 pad.

Revenue was $298.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $115.7 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $183.0 million, or 158.2%. The increase was primarily attributable to a $97.3 million increase in product sales generated from our direct drilling, extraction, and related oil and gas operating activities, $77.1 million of purchased crude oil sales derived from the sale of crude oil purchased from working interest owners and royalty interest holders in wells operated by PhoenixOp that did not exist in the prior period, a $5.8 million increase in mineral and royalty revenues generated from our mineral and non-operating activities, and a $2.7 million increase in revenue from water disposal services.

Operating Segment

Operating segment revenue was $263.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $85.8 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $177.3 million, or 206.6%. The increase was primarily attributable to a $97.3 million increase in product sales generated from our direct drilling, extraction, and related operating activities driven by additional wells placed into service, of which there were 121 producing wells in service as of March 31, 2026, as compared to 37 producing wells in service as of March 31, 2025, $77.1 million of purchased crude oil sales derived from the sale of crude oil purchased from working interest owners and royalty interest holders in wells operated by PhoenixOp that did not exist in the prior period, and a $2.7 million increase in revenue from water disposal services driven by higher disposal volumes, with 11.5 million barrels of saltwater disposed by Firebird Services during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to 4.2 million barrels during the same period in 2025, and a 2.1% increase in average realized price from $71.33/Bbl to $72.81/Bbl for crude oil in 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025.

Mineral and Non-operating Segment

Mineral and non-operating segment revenue was $35.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $29.9 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $5.9 million, or 19.7%. The increase in segment revenue was primarily driven by increased revenues from crude oil due to a 33.8% increase in production volumes and increased revenues from natural gas due to a 6.4% increase in production volumes and a 14.3% increase in the average realized price for natural gas from $2.79/Mcf for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $3.19/Mcf for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Cost of sales was $56.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $27.1 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $29.0 million, or 107.0%. The increase was primarily driven by increased drilling, extraction, and related oil and gas operating activities associated with wells operated by PhoenixOp, and an increase in cost of sales due to higher lease operating expense and severance taxes resulting from increased crude oil production volumes from our acquisitions of mineral and non-operated working interests during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025.

Operating Segment

Operating segment cost of sales was $49.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $22.5 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $27.1 million, or 120.4%. The increase in segment cost of sales was driven by additional wells placed into service, of which there were 121 producing wells as of March 31, 2026, as compared to 37 producing wells in service as of March 31, 2025, resulting in increased lease operating expenses, production costs, and production and ad valorem taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025.

Mineral and Non-operating Segment

Mineral and non-operating segment cost of sales was $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $4.6 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $2.2 million, or 47.8%. The increase in segment cost of sales was primarily attributable to higher lease operating expense and severance taxes resulting from a 33.8% increase in crude oil production volumes from our acquisitions of mineral and non-operated working interests during three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025.

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense was $60.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $31.2 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $29.0 million, or 92.9%, primarily due to a $24.3 million increase in depletion expense within the operating segment driven by increases in our depletable cost bases and a $4.7 million increase in depletion expense within the mineral and non-operating segment, primarily due to a higher depletion rate driven by increased realized production volumes, and increases in the depletable cost bases.

Table of Contents

Operating Segment

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense for the operating segment was $47.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $23.0 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $24.3 million, or 105.7%, primarily due to an increase in depletion expense from increases in the depletable cost bases, partially offset by a lower depletion rate during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025. The lower depletion rate is primarily attributable to significant growth in proved reserves due to drilling activity by PhoenixOp.

Mineral and Non-operating Segment

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense for the mineral and non-operating segment was $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $8.3 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $4.7 million, or 56.6%. On a per unit basis, depletion expense was $17.66 per Boe and $14.86 per Boe for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $2.80 per Boe, driven by a higher depletion rate, primarily due to increased realized production volumes, and increases in the depletable cost bases.

Purchased Crude Oil Expense

Purchased crude oil expense was $75.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, with no comparable activity for the same period in 2025. This change is attributable to the commencement of marketing activities in April 2025 through Firebird Marketing within the operating segment. Purchased crude oil expense represents the purchase of crude oil from working interest owners and royalty interest holders in properties operated by PhoenixOp.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expense

Selling, general, and administrative expense was $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $9.5 million for the same period in 2025, a decrease of $5.2 million, or 54.7%. The decrease was primarily due to a $5.0 million increase in the overhead attributable to field-level operations charged to operated wells, which reduced selling, general, and administrative expense, and a $2.3 million decrease in professional legal service fees. The decrease was partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in allocated corporate overhead, a $0.4 million increase in technology expenses, and a $0.4 million increase in fees charged by purchasers for early revenue payments received within the operating segment.

Operating Segment

Selling, general, and administrative expense for the operating segment was ($0.3) million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2025, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 115.0%, primarily due to a $5.0 million increase in the overhead attributable to field-level operations charged to operated wells, which reduced selling, general, and administrative expense, partially offset by increased allocated corporate overhead of $1.1 million, a $1.0 million increase in fees associated with lease acquisition fees allocated to the operating segment, increased fees charged by purchasers for early revenue payments received of $0.4 million, and increased professional legal fees of $0.2 million within the operating segment.

Mineral and Non-operating Segment

Selling, general, and administrative expense for the mineral and non-operating segment was $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2025, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 40.8%. The decrease was primarily due to decreased professional service fees of $1.8 million, and decreased allocated corporate overhead of $0.3 million.

Securities Segment

Selling, general, and administrative expense for the securities segment was $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2025, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 34.6%, primarily due to decreased professional legal service fees of $1.0 million.

Payroll and Payroll-Related Expense

Payroll and payroll-related expense was $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $7.9 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $1.5 million, or 19.0%, primarily as a result of increased employee headcount and compensation. Employee headcount increased from 154 employees at March 31, 2025 to 189 employees at March 31, 2026.

Table of Contents

Operating Segment

Payroll and payroll-related expense for the operating segment was $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $1.8 million, or 90.0%, primarily due to the

increased number of personnel engaged in our oil and gas operating activities, partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in labor charged to wells operated by us, which reduced payroll and payroll-related expense.

Mineral and Non-operating Segment

Payroll and payroll-related expense for the mineral and non-operating segment was $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2025, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 27.5%, primarily due to a greater allocation of labor to other segments during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, reflecting an alignment of employee time and responsibilities across segments.

Securities Segment

Payroll and payroll-related expense for the securities segment was $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $0.6 million, or 30.0%, primarily due to increased employee compensation and the increased number of personnel engaged in the administration and management of our securities offerings.

Advertising and Marketing Expense

Advertising and marketing expense was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $0.1 million, or 33.3%, which was not material for the periods presented.

Impairment Expense

Impairment expense was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $0.3 million, or 60.0%, primarily as a result of lease expirations within the mineral and non-operating segment.

Other Expenses

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, was $52.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $35.8 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $16.7 million, or 46.6%. The increase was primarily due to a $12.2 million increase in interest costs associated with sales of our unregistered debt securities and Registered Notes, which increased from $1.1 billion outstanding at March 31, 2025 to $1.2 billion outstanding at March 31, 2026, with no significant changes in interest rates between the periods, a $6.5 million increase in interest costs associated with the Fortress Credit Agreement, and a $1.5 million increase in interest costs associated with securities-related debt issuance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase was partially offset by a $3.6 million increase in capitalized interest primarily due to higher qualifying asset expenditures.

Gain (Loss) on Derivatives

Loss on derivatives was $178.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to a gain on derivatives of $1.9 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $180.7 million, primarily as a result of unfavorable changes in the mark-to-market value of commodity derivatives entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025.

Loss on Debt Extinguishments

Loss on debt extinguishments was $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $0.6 million, or 200.0%. The increase was primarily due to increased write-offs of debt issuance costs associated with the redemption of bonds issued pursuant to our debt offerings, of which $8.2 million of bonds were redeemed during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $2.6 million of bonds redeemed for the same period in 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to understand and compare our operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, and to evaluate financial performance and liquidity, in each case, without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis. Adjusted EBITDA is also used to understand and compare our results across accounting periods without giving effect to unsettled gains and losses on open commodity derivative contracts. Each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is presented as supplemental disclosure as we believe it provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results, prospects, and liquidity period over period, including as compared to results of other companies. By providing these non-GAAP financial measures, together with a reconciliation to GAAP results, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our operating performance, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing strategic initiatives.

Each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure. In particular, each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain material costs, such as interest expense, and certain non-cash charges, such as depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense, which have been necessary elements of our expenses. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes non-cash charges related to unsettled gains and losses on open commodity derivative contracts. Because each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA does not account for these expenses, its utility as a measure of our operating performance has material limitations. Other companies may not publish this or similar metrics, and our computation of EBITDA and/or Adjusted EBITDA may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies. Therefore, our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, in isolation from, or superior to, our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

The following table shows a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP measure, as presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity to date have been cash flows from operations, borrowings under credit facilities, issuances of debt securities, and the issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares in September 2025. Future sources of liquidity may also include other credit facilities, continued issuances of debt or equity securities, which may be different than the type of debt or equity securities we have issued so far in terms of security, maturity, and interest rates, asset-backed or other securitizations, and capital contributions. Our primary uses of cash are on the development and operation of PhoenixOp’s properties, the acquisition of mineral and royalty interests, lease operating expenses, and our proportionate share of production and ad valorem taxes for mineral and royalty interests, production costs, including gathering, processing, and transportation costs, debt service payments and distributions on the Series A Preferred Shares, the reduction of outstanding debt balances, and general overhead and other corporate expenses. As we continue to engage in increased drilling and direct production activities through PhoenixOp, we expect the development and operation of PhoenixOp’s properties to become an increasingly significant use of our cash. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $70.2 million, outstanding indebtedness of $1.7 billion, and a liquidation preference of Series A Preferred Shares of $67.6 million.

As of March 31, 2026, we had $148.7 million of debt coming due and $146.5 million of interest payable within the next 12 months, as well as $1.7 million of distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Shares. Over the next 12 months, we expect to drill between 75 to 105 gross and 54.0 to 76.0 net wells across our operated leasehold acreage in the Bakken/Williston Basin in North Dakota and Montana, and expect to participate in the drilling of between 310 to 410 gross and 10.8 to 14.2 net wells across our non-operated leasehold. We estimate that these direct drilling operations and non-operated activity will require between $750.0 million and $810.0 million of capital expenditures over the next 12 months.

Our ability to finance our operations, including funding capital expenditures and acquisitions, meeting our indebtedness obligations, making distributions on the Series A Preferred Shares, or refinancing our indebtedness, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. We raised $185.6 million in proceeds from the issuance of debt securities and increased borrowings under the Fortress Credit Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2026. We believe that these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements, with respect to our current commitments, including normal operating needs, debt service obligations, and capital expenditures, for at least the next 12 months, and will allow us to continue to execute on our strategy of expanding our direct drilling operations through PhoenixOp and acquiring attractive mineral and royalty interests in order to position us to grow our cash flows. Although we expect that our cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our fixed obligations, to fully realize our business plan we anticipate that we would need to raise approximately $147.3 million in capital in 2026, which may involve different types of financing or issuances of debt or equity securities that differ from the types of securities we have previously issued.

We periodically assess changes in current and projected cash flows, acquisition and divestiture activities, and other factors to determine the effects on our liquidity. Our ability to generate cash is subject to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including commodity prices, weather, and general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other factors. We are currently monitoring our operations and industry developments, including our drilling operations and production plans, in light of recent changes in the commodity price environment and industry volatility. Although oil prices have surged recently, rising to $112.95 per Bbl as of April 7, 2026, following the onset of the conflict in the Middle East involving Iran, Israel, the United States, and numerous other oil producing countries in the region, and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, this follows weaker oil prices that persisted through much of the second half of 2025, when oil prices went from $70.00 per barrel as of July 30, 2025 to $55.27 per barrel as of December 16, 2025. These prices were below

Table of Contents

those assumed for purposes of our business plan. While we believe we are well-positioned to navigate a lower-price environment, in the event of a prolonged period of commodity prices below those assumed for purposes of our business plan, our cash flows from operations would decrease and we may determine to adjust our business plan by adjusting capital expenditures, decreasing drilling operations, and/or reducing production plans, among other actions. Conversely, subject to commodity prices, operational conditions and capital availability, we may contemplate adding additional completion resources during the second quarter of 2026 in order to accelerate the timing of bringing certain wells online and increase production volumes, and may also evaluate the addition of a fourth drilling rig later in 2026. We may also be required to raise additional capital, above our current expectations, in order to fully realize our current or adjusted business plan. If cash flow from operations does not meet our expectations, we may reduce our expected level of capital expenditures. If we require additional capital for acquisitions or other reasons, we may raise such capital through additional borrowings, asset sales, offerings of equity and debt securities, or other means. We cannot assure you that necessary capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to raise funds through the incurrence of additional indebtedness could be limited by covenants in our debt arrangements. If we are unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may not be able to complete acquisitions that are favorable to us or finance the capital expenditures necessary to maintain our production or proved reserves. See “Risks Related to Our Business and Operations” and “Risks Related to Our Indebtedness” in Part I. Item 1A of our 2025 Annual Report.

We or our affiliates may from time to time seek to repurchase or retire Registered Notes, other indebtedness, or Series A Preferred Shares through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt securities, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender or exchange offers, or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. For more information regarding the material terms of our outstanding indebtedness, see “—Indebtedness” below.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $103.8 million, as compared to $18.1 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $85.7 million in cash provided by operating activities. The increase was primarily due to a $145.7 million increase in net loss, adjusted for non-cash charges of $192.9 million, and net favorable fluctuations of $38.5 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The $38.5 million cash inflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to increased other current liabilities, earnest payments, and accrued interest totaling $28.2 million, increased net derivative liability of $22.3 million, and decreased escrow account liability of $3.6 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $15.3 million, primarily due to the timing of cash receipts and payments during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $238.6 million, as compared to $182.4 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $56.2 million in cash used in investing activities. The increase was driven by a $56.2 million increase in additions to oil and gas properties, primarily due to increased drilling and completion activities in our operating segment during three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $139.2 million, as compared to $78.8 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $60.4 million in cash provided by financing activities. The increase was primarily driven by increased proceeds from issuances of debt, net of debt discount, of $79.7 million, partially offset by a $9.4 million increase in repayments of debt related to securities, a $5.4 million increase in payments of debt issuance costs, a $2.8 million increase in payments of deferred closings associated with mineral interest acquisitions, and a $1.7 million increase in payments of dividends for the Series A Preferred Shares.

Preferred Equity

In September 2025, we completed our offering of the Series A Preferred Shares, which shares were listed on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol PHXE.P and commenced trading on September 30, 2025. We sold an aggregate of 2,704,023 Series A Preferred Shares at closing, which represented $67.6 million in initial liquidation preference at a public offering price of $20.00 per share for gross proceeds of $54.1 million. Offering costs of $6.2 million were recorded as a reduction of the gross proceeds. In addition, at issuance we recorded a $2.4 million discount associated with the stepped distribution rate feature of the Series A Preferred Shares, which provides for increases in the distribution rate prior to the commencement of the 11.0% perpetual distribution rate in year five. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, $0.2 million of this discount was amortized.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company paid $1.7 million of distributions to the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares equal to $0.625 per share. In March 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized and declared a distribution on the Series A Preferred Shares equal to $0.625 per share, which was paid on April 15, 2026, to holders of record as of April 1, 2026, and totaled $1.7 million. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had accrued $1.5 million of dividends payable, which is included in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Fortress Credit Agreement

In August 2024, we entered into a senior secured credit agreement with Fortress Credit Corp. (the “Fortress Credit Agreement”) as lender and administrative agent, which was subsequently amended to add additional term loan tranches and syndicated to include an additional institutional lender. In February 2026, the Fortress Credit Agreement was further amended to provide a $75.0 million term loan funded at closing and up to $225.0 million available on a discretionary basis. Proceeds are to be used to finance the development of our oil and gas properties in accordance with the approved plan of development provided in the Fortress Credit Agreement.

The Fortress Credit Agreement contains various customary covenants, including financial covenants that require us to maintain ratios around our maximum total secured leverage, minimum asset coverage, current assets to current liabilities, and working capital as of the last day of each calendar month or fiscal quarter, as the case may be. On May 7, 2026, subsequent to the balance sheet date, we obtained a waiver of noncompliance with the current ratio covenant as of March 31, 2026, which resulted primarily from the timing of accelerated well completion expenditures undertaken to capitalize on higher commodity prices.

Adamantium Securities

In September 2023, we entered into the Adamantium Loan Agreement with Adamantium, as lender, which was amended in October 2023 to add PhoenixOp as a borrower, and subsequently amended to increase the loan amount under the agreement (the “Adamantium Loan Agreement”). The Adamantium Loan Agreement provides for up to $609.3 million in aggregate principal amount of borrowings in one or more advances, comprising $600.0 million from the proceeds of Adamantium Bonds and $9.3 million from the proceeds of the Adamantium Secured Note. We expect to use the proceeds of borrowings under the Adamantium Loan Agreement (i) to purchase mineral rights and non-operated working interests, as well as additional asset acquisitions, (ii) to finance potential drilling and exploration operations of one or more subsidiaries (including PhoenixOp), and (iii) for other working capital needs.

As of March 31, 2026, $278.0 million aggregate principal amount of Adamantium Bonds was outstanding, with maturity dates ranging from five to eleven years from the issue date and interest rates ranging from 13.0%—16.0% per annum, and $9.3 million aggregate principal amount was outstanding under the Adamantium Secured Note, which matures in November 2031, has an interest rate of 16.5% per annum, and is secured by Adamantium’s rights under the Adamantium Loan Agreement.

Registered Notes

In May 2025, the SEC declared effective our registration statement with respect to the continuous offering of up to $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of our Registered Notes with maturity dates ranging from three to eleven years from the issue date and interest rates ranging from 9.0% to 12.0% per annum. As of March 31, 2026, we had issued $56.7 million aggregate principal amount of Registered Notes.

(b) $758.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of Subordinated Reg D Bonds, which are contractually subordinated to obligations under the Fortress Credit Agreement, the Adamantium Debt, the Reg A Bonds, the Exchange Notes, the Senior Reg D Bonds, and the Registered Notes, comprising:

(i) $50.8 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of Series AAA through Series D-1 December 2022 506(c) Bonds, which are unsecured bonds offered and sold pursuant to an offering under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D that commenced in December 2022 and terminated in August 2023, with maturity dates ranging from three to seven years from the issue date and interest rates ranging from 10.0% to 12.0% per annum; and

(ii) $707.2 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of Series U through Series JJ-1 August 2023 506(c) Bonds, which are unsecured bonds offered and sold to date pursuant to an offering under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D that commenced in August 2023 with maturity dates ranging from one to eleven years from the issue date and interest rates ranging from 9.0% to 14.0% per annum;

(c) $33.8 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of Reg A Bonds, which are unsecured bonds offered and sold pursuant to an offering under Regulation A, which commenced in December 2021 and terminated in December 2024, with a term of three years from the issue date and an interest rate of 9.0% per annum, which Reg A Bonds are pari passu with the Senior Reg D Bonds and Exchange Notes and are contractually senior to obligations under the Subordinated Reg D Bonds and the Registered Notes; and

(d) $35.5 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of Exchange Notes, which are unsecured bonds issued by us to holders of the Reg A Bonds in exchange for their Reg A Bonds in offerings exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(9) and/or 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, with maturity dates of three, five, seven, or eleven years from the issue date and interest rates ranging from 9.0% to 12.0% per annum, which Exchange Notes are pari passu with the Senior Reg D Bonds and Reg A Bonds, are contractually senior to obligations under the Subordinated Reg D Bonds and the Registered Notes, and are contractually subordinated to obligations under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Adamantium Debt.

In March 2026, we approved an increase to the maximum offering amount of the August 2023 506(c) Bonds from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As part of our ongoing operations, we enter into contractual arrangements that obligate us to make future cash payments. These obligations impact our liquidity and capital resource needs. Our estimated future obligations consist of debt obligations, interest on debt obligations, leases, deferred closing arrangements, and purchase obligations. As of March 31, 2026, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2025 to our contractual obligations and commitments and the related cash requirements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

Our critical accounting policies are described in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies,” of the notes to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies from those discussed under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates” in our 2025 Annual Report except as discussed below.

Inventory

Crude oil in storage tanks that has not yet been sold is classified as inventory and recorded within other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost determined using a weighted average cost method, and includes costs incurred to bring the inventory to its present location and condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk, including the effects of adverse changes in commodity prices and interest rates or from counterparty and customer credit risk, each as described below. The primary objective of the following information is to provide quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. These disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures. All of our instruments that are sensitive to market risk were entered into for purposes other than speculative trading. Also, gains and losses on these instruments are generally offset by losses and gains on the offsetting expenses.

Commodity Price Risk

Our major market risk exposure is in the pricing applicable to the oil, natural gas, and NGL production of our E&P operators, including PhoenixOp, which affects our revenue from PhoenixOp and the royalty payments we receive from our other E&P operators. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and spot market prices applicable to our natural gas production. Pricing for oil, natural gas, and NGL has been volatile and unpredictable for several years, and this volatility is expected to continue in the future. The prices that our E&P operators receive for oil, natural gas, and NGL production depend on many factors outside of their and our control, such as the strength of the global economy and global supply and demand for the commodities they produce.

To reduce the impact of fluctuations in oil, natural gas, and NGL prices on our revenues, we periodically enter into commodity derivative contracts with respect to certain of our oil, natural gas, and NGL production through various transactions that limit the risks of fluctuations of future prices. Additionally, we are required to hedge a portion of anticipated oil production pursuant to certain covenants under the Fortress Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2026, over approximately the next three years through December 2028, we had 16.6 million Bbl of anticipated oil production hedged through a combination of: fixed-price swaps at a weighted average contract price of $61.03 per Bbl, collars with weighted average floor and ceiling prices of $55.39 and $70.78 per Bbl, respectively, and call options with a strike price of $75.00 per Bbl, excluding the effect of deferred option premiums. Assuming a price of $0 per Bbl, these derivative contracts would generate aggregate cash settlements of approximately $0.7 billion over the same period. We plan to continue our practice of entering into such transactions to reduce the impact of commodity price volatility on our net cash provided by operating activities. Future transactions may include additional price swaps, whereby we will receive a fixed price for our production and pay a variable market price to the contract counterparty, or collars, whereby we would receive the excess, if any, of the fixed floor over the floating rate or pay the excess, if any, of the floating rate over the fixed ceiling. These hedging activities are intended to limit our exposure to product price volatility.

By using derivative instruments to economically limit exposure to changes in commodity prices, we expose ourselves to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk. See “—Counterparty and Customer Credit Risk” below.

The fair market value of our commodity derivative contracts was a net liability of $136.7 million as of March 31, 2026. Based upon our open commodity derivative positions at March 31, 2026, a hypothetical 10.0% increase in the NYMEX WTI price would increase our net derivative liability position by $87.4 million, while a 10.0% decrease in the NYMEX WTI price would decrease our net derivative liability position by $87.4 million.

A $1.00 per Bbl change in our realized oil price would have resulted in a $2.9 million and a $1.6 million change in our oil revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. A $0.10 per Mcf change in our realized natural gas price would have resulted in a $0.1 million and a less than $0.1 million change in our natural gas revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. A $1.00 per Bbl change in NGL prices would have resulted in a $0.3 million and a less than $0.1 million change in our NGL revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Revenues from oil sales contributed 95.0% and 94.6%, revenues from natural gas sales contributed 1.6% and 1.9%, and revenues from NGL sales contributed 2.0% and 2.1% of our consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

Our primary exposure to interest rate risk results from outstanding borrowings under our credit facilities, which bear interest at a floating rate. The average interest rate incurred when such facility was outstanding on our borrowings under the Fortress Credit Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 10.8% and 11.4%, respectively. Assuming no change in the amount of borrowings under the Fortress Credit Agreement outstanding, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in the average interest rate under these borrowings would increase or decrease our interest expense on those borrowings on an annual basis by approximately $5.3 million. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Indebtedness—Fortress Credit Agreement.

Counterparty and Customer Credit Risk

We often maintain cash balances in excess of the federally insured limits, which may subject us to concentrations of credit risk. We manage this risk by maintaining deposits with a financial institution that we believe to be creditworthy and by monitoring their financial condition on an ongoing basis.

Our derivative contracts expose us to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. We evaluate the credit standing of such counterparties as we deem appropriate. We have determined that our counterparties have an acceptable credit risk for the size of derivative position placed; therefore, we do not require collateral or other security from our counterparties. Additionally, we use master netting arrangements to minimize credit risk exposure.

Our principal exposures to credit risk are through receivables generated by product sales from the delivery of commodities that we extract and deliver to purchasers and the production activities of our operators. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, one purchaser of our commodities and nine third-party E&P operators made up 45.6% and 9.3% of our consolidated revenue, respectively, as compared to one purchaser of our commodities and eleven third-party E&P operators that made up 66.5% and 23.5% of our consolidated revenue, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Similarly, as of March 31, 2026, we had concentrations in accounts receivable of 24.2% with one purchaser of our commodities, as compared to 20.0%, 15.0%, and 14.0% with three third-party E&P operators as of March 31, 2025. Although we are exposed to a concentration of credit risk due to our reliance on operators and purchasers of our commodities, we do not believe the loss of any single counterparty would materially impact our operating results as crude oil and natural gas are fungible products with well-established markets and numerous participants. If multiple purchasers were to cease making purchases at or around the same time, we believe there would be challenges initially, but there would be ample markets to handle the disruption. Additionally, recent rulings in bankruptcy cases involving our third-party E&P operators have stipulated that royalty owners must still be paid for oil, gas, and NGL extracted from their mineral acreage during the bankruptcy process. In light of this, we do not expect the entry of one of our operators or purchasers into bankruptcy proceedings would materially affect our operating results.

Furthermore, as PhoenixOp increases the extent of its operations and generates revenue from the sale of crude oil and natural gas delivered to purchasers, we expect that our concentration of revenue and accounts receivable among a limited number of third-party E&P operators will decrease, and we will achieve greater control over the terms of the sales agreements entered into among PhoenixOp and the purchasers.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2026 as a result of the material weaknesses described below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, our auditors identified several material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses identified were: (i) inadequate segregation of duties within key financial areas; (ii) entity-level controls that were not sufficiently designed, documented or consistently maintained across the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) components to provide reasonable assurance that material misstatements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis; (iii) ineffective processes for identifying and assessing risks impacting internal control over financial reporting; (iv) insufficient evaluation and determination as to whether components of internal controls were present and functioning; (v) ineffective information technology general controls supporting the financial reporting process; and (vi) ineffective controls over the completeness and accuracy of information used in the operation of control activities.

These material weaknesses did not result in any identified material misstatements in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. However, these material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of the Company’s financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management’s Remediation Efforts

Management has begun implementing measures designed to remediate the material weaknesses described above. These remediation efforts include, but are not limited to: enhancing segregation of duties within financial reporting and related systems; enhancing the design and documentation of entity-level controls across the COSO components; strengthening the Company’s formal risk assessment processes related to financial reporting; implementing additional procedures to evaluate whether internal control components are present and functioning; implementing improvements to information technology general controls, including user access management, system change management, and system monitoring controls; establishing additional controls over the completeness and accuracy of information used in financial reporting processes; and expanding internal control documentation, training and monitoring activities.

These measures include engaging with external consulting firms to assist with technical accounting matters and to improve the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the Company implemented a new accounting system effective January 1, 2026, which management believes will enhance financial reporting processes and support improvements to internal control over financial reporting. The Company will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of controls associated with this system as part of its remediation efforts.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We are taking actions to remediate the material weaknesses relating to our internal control over financial reporting, as described above. Except as discussed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We have been, are, and/or may in the future be involved in various legal proceedings, lawsuits, regulatory investigations, and other claims in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with certainty. In particular, due to the nature of our business, we are, from time to time, involved in routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims related to our business activities, including workers’ compensation claims and employment-related disputes. Based on currently available information and after consultation with legal counsel, in the opinion of our management, none of the matters, disputes, or claims we are involved in, if decided adversely, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations. We have not recorded any material accruals related to these matters as of March 31, 2026. See “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies” of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

10-Q Oil and Gas Disclosures

Our Oil and Natural Gas Properties

Productive Wells

Productive wells consist of producing wells, wells capable of production, and exploratory, development, or extension wells that are not dry wells. As of March 31, 2026, we owned mineral, royalty, and working interests in 8,192 productive wells, the majority of which are oil wells that also produce natural gas and NGL.

 

37


Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2026, we had 245 wells that fall under our “wells in progress” (“WIP”) category, and we had 86 net WIP. We define a WIP as a development well in a stage preliminary to production. We utilize both proprietary and public systems to identify WIPs based on four distinct criteria: (i) a well that is not actively being drilled but is in the process of being developed; (ii) a well currently being drilled and awaiting completion; (iii) a drilled well in the completion process; and (iv) a drilled well that has been completed but is not yet producing. This term serves as a guide in our acquisition strategy, enabling us to pinpoint lower-risk investment opportunities for our stakeholders.

Drilling Results

In the three months ended March 31, 2026, the E&P operators of our properties, including PhoenixOp, drilled 33 gross and 13.7 net productive development wells on the acreage underlying our mineral and royalty interests. This compares to 26 gross and 4.2 net productive development wells drilled by E&P operators on the acreage underlying our mineral and royalty interests in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Included in our total drilled wells figures, as of March 31, 2026, PhoenixOp had drilled a total of 113 gross and 101.2 net productive development wells, all of which were drilled in the Williston Basin in North Dakota and Montana. PhoenixOp has also drilled a total of 22 gross and 22 net saltwater disposal wells, and had 93 gross and 74.1 net development wells in progress as of March 31, 2026.

As a holder of mineral and royalty interests, we generally are not provided information as to whether any wells drilled on the properties underlying our acreage are classified as exploratory. We are not aware of any dry holes drilled on the acreage underlying our mineral and royalty interests during the relevant periods.

Wells

As of March 31, 2026, we owned mineral, royalty, and working interests in 8,192 total gross wells and 182.9 total net wells. The following table sets forth information about the productive wells in which we have a mineral or working interest as of March 31, 2026:

Estimates of reserves of oil and natural gas as of March 31, 2026 were prepared using an average price equal to the unweighted arithmetic average of hydrocarbon prices received on a field-by-field basis on the first day of each month of the 12 months ended March 31, 2026, in accordance with SEC guidelines applicable to reserve estimates as of the end of such period. The unweighted arithmetic average first day of the month prices were $63.80 per Bbl for oil and $3.720 per MMBtu for natural gas at March 31, 2026. Estimates of reserves of NGL as of March 31, 2026 were calculated using the average of realized wellhead prices of such reserves. The average NGL price realized at March 31, 2026 was $21.15 per Bbl. Reserve estimates do not include any value for probable or possible reserves that may exist, nor do they include any value for undeveloped acreage. The reserve estimates represent our net revenue interest in our properties. Although we believe these estimates are reasonable, actual future production, cash flows, taxes, development expenditures, production costs, and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves may vary substantially from these estimates.

In early 2023, PhoenixOp was established with the intention that certain leaseholds held by us would be developed by PhoenixOp. PhoenixOp executed a contract for a drilling rig with Patterson-UTI Drilling Company on June 20, 2023. This allowed for previously unbooked reserves as of December 31, 2022 to be estimated and booked as of December 31, 2023 as proved undeveloped in accordance with SEC guidelines for reserves categorization and estimation and in adherence to the five-year rule as set forth in Rule 4-10(a)(31) of Regulation S-X.

(3)

Estimates of reserves of oil and natural gas as of December 31, 2025 were prepared using an average price equal to the unweighted arithmetic average of hydrocarbon prices received on a field-by-field basis on the first day of each month of the 12 months ended December 31, 2025, in accordance with SEC guidelines applicable to reserve estimates as of the end of such period. The unweighted arithmetic average first day of the month prices were $66.01 per Bbl for oil and $3.387 per MMBtu for natural gas at December 31, 2025. Estimates of reserves of NGL as of December 31, 2025 were calculated using the average of realized wellhead prices of such reserves. The average NGL price realized at December 31, 2025 was $20.90 per Bbl. Reserve estimates do not include any value for probable or possible reserves that may exist, nor do they include any value for undeveloped acreage. The reserve estimates represent our net revenue interest in our properties. Although we believe these estimates are reasonable, actual future production, cash flows, taxes, development expenditures, production costs, and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves may vary substantially from these estimates.

Estimates of reserves of oil and natural gas as of December 31, 2024 were prepared using an average price equal to the unweighted arithmetic average of hydrocarbon prices received on a field-by-field basis on the first day of each month of the 12 months ended December 31, 2024, in accordance with SEC guidelines applicable to reserve estimates as of the end of such period. The unweighted arithmetic average first day of the month prices were $76.32 per Bbl for oil and $2.130 per MMBtu for natural gas at December 31, 2024. Estimates of reserves of NGL as of December 31, 2024 were calculated using the average of realized wellhead prices of such reserves. The average NGL price realized at December 31, 2024 was $25.22 per Bbl. Reserve estimates do not include any value for probable or possible reserves that may exist, nor do they include any value for undeveloped acreage. The reserve estimates represent our net revenue interest in our properties. Although we believe these estimates are reasonable, actual future production, cash flows, taxes, development expenditures, production costs, and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves may vary substantially from these estimates.

Estimates of reserves of oil and natural gas as of December 31, 2023 were prepared using an average price equal to the unweighted arithmetic average of hydrocarbon prices received on a field-by-field basis on the first day of each month of the 12 months ended December 31, 2023, in accordance with SEC guidelines applicable to reserve estimates as of the end of such period. The unweighted arithmetic average first day of the month prices were $78.21 per Bbl for oil and $2.637 per MMBtu for natural gas at December 31, 2023. Estimates of reserves of NGL as of December 31, 2023 were calculated using the average of realized wellhead prices of such reserves. The average NGL price realized at December 31, 2023 was $19.21 per Bbl. Reserve estimates do not include any value for probable or possible reserves that may exist, nor do they include any value for undeveloped acreage. The reserve estimates represent our net revenue interest in our properties. Although we believe these estimates are reasonable, actual future production, cash flows, taxes, development expenditures, production costs, and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves may vary substantially from these estimates.

Estimated proved reserves are presented on an oil-equivalent basis using a conversion of six Mcf per barrel of “oil equivalent.” This conversion is based on energy equivalence and not price or value equivalence. If a price equivalent conversion based on the 12-month average prices for the period ended March 31, 2026 was used, the conversion factor would be approximately 17.15 Mcf per Bbl of oil.

At March 31, 2026, total estimated proved reserves were approximately 144,753,066 Boe, a 31,139,195 Boe net increase from the estimate of 113,613,871 at December 31, 2025. Proved developed reserves of 65,207,650 Boe represented an increase of approximately 13,586,576 Boe from the estimate of 51,621,074 Boe at December 31, 2025 as a result of proved developed extensions of 23,706,620 Boe and total negative revisions of previous estimates of (10,120,044) Boe, which comprised: (i) negative revisions due to effective-date roll-forward of reserve estimates of (3,421,490) Boe, (ii) negative price revisions of (124,286) Boe, (iii) negative revisions of (26,125) Boe due to divestitures and trades, (iv) negative revisions of (6) Boe due to schedule adjustments, (v) positive revisions of 14,720,684 Boe due to transferring proved undeveloped reserves to proved developed reserves, (vi) positive shrink and yield revisions of 4,436,385 Boe, (vii) positive interest adjustments of 2,450,538 Boe, (viii) positive revisions of 2,042,482 Boe due to changes in lifting cost, (ix) negative well performance revisions of (6,548,137) Boe, and (x) positive revisions of 56,531 due to acquisitions of new properties. Proved undeveloped reserves of 79,545,415 Boe represented an increase of approximately 17,552,618 Boe from the estimate of 61,992,797 Boe at December 31, 2025 as a result of proved undeveloped extensions of 34,411,537 Boe and total negative revisions of previous estimates of (16,858,919) Boe, which comprised: (i) negative revisions due to effective-date roll-forward of reserve estimates of (108,060) Boe, (ii) negative price revisions of (116,724) Boe, (iii) negative revisions of (1,820,353) Boe due to divestitures and trades, (iv) positive revisions of 62,301 Boe due to schedule adjustments, (v) negative revisions of (14,720,684) Boe due to transferring proved undeveloped reserves to proved developed reserves, (vi) positive shrink and yield revisions of 2,155,135 Boe, (vii) positive interest adjustments of 4,318,801 Boe, (viii) positive revisions of 1,263,287 Boe due to changes in lifting cost, (ix) negative well performance revisions of (93,098) Boe, and (x) positive revisions of 26,612,013 Boe due to acquisitions of new properties. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, approximately $186.1 million in capital expenditures went toward the development of proved reserves, which includes drilling, completion, and other facility costs associated with acquiring and developing wells.

At December 31, 2025, total estimated proved reserves were approximately 113,613,871 Boe, a 49,804,545 Boe net increase from the estimate of 63,809,326 Boe at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily the result of extensions and discoveries of 71,088,631 Boe, partially offset by revisions of previous estimates of (12,396,675) Boe and production of (9,924,337) Boe during the year. Proved developed reserves of 51,621,074 Boe represented an increase of 26,677,982 Boe from December 31, 2024, primarily due to extensions and discoveries of 8,782,530 Boe, transfers of 19,515,344 Boe from proved undeveloped reserves, purchases of reserves in place of 571,500 Boe, and revisions of previous estimates of 8,008,132 Boe, partially offset by production of (9,924,337) Boe and divestitures and trades of (275,187) Boe. The revisions of previous estimates affecting proved developed reserves comprised of timing adjustments associated with the effective-date roll-forward, write-downs of certain locations, shrink and yield revisions, well performance revisions, price revisions, interest adjustments, and changes in lifting costs. Proved undeveloped reserves of 61,992,797 Boe represented an increase of 23,126,563 Boe from December 31, 2024, primarily due to extensions and discoveries of 62,306,101 Boe and purchases of reserves in place of 740,613 Boe, partially offset by transfers of (19,515,344) Boe to proved developed reserves and revisions of previous estimates of (20,404,807) Boe. The revisions of previous estimates affecting proved undeveloped reserves primarily reflected timing adjustments associated with the effective-date roll-forward of reserve estimates, write-downs of certain locations, shrink and yield revisions, well performance revisions, price revisions, interest adjustments, and changes in lifting costs. During the year ended December 31, 2025, approximately $686.8 million in capital expenditures went toward the development of proved reserves, which includes drilling, completion, and other facility costs associated with acquiring and developing wells.

At December 31, 2024, total estimated proved reserves were approximately 63,809,326 Boe, an 18,293,100 Boe net increase from the previous year end’s estimate of 45,516,226 Boe. Proved developed reserves of 24,943,092 Boe increased approximately 14,262,423 Boe from December 31, 2023 as a result of proved developed reserves acquisitions of 1,047,809 Boe, extensions of 3,268,997 Boe, and total positive revisions of previous estimates of 14,759,886 Boe, partially offset by divestitures of 71,887 Boe and production from proved developed reserves of 4,742,381 Boe. The total positive revisions of previous estimates comprised: (i) positive price revisions of 1,263 Boe; (ii) positive transfer of 14,871,911 Boe from proved undeveloped to proved developed reserves; (iii) negative well performance revisions of (481,161) Boe; (iv) positive revisions of 715,795 Boe due to interest changes; and (v) negative revisions of (347,922) Boe due to changes in lifting cost. Proved undeveloped reserves of 38,866,234 Boe increased approximately 4,030,678 Boe from December 31, 2023 as a result of proved undeveloped reserves extensions of 21,207,289 Boe and total negative revisions of previous estimates of 17,176,612 Boe. The total negative revisions of previous estimates comprised: (i) positive price revisions of 48,935 Boe; (ii) negative transfer of (14,871,911) Boe from proved undeveloped to proved developed reserves; and (iii) negative well performance revisions of (2,353,636) Boe due to asset development reconfiguration and type curve adjustments. During the year ended December 31, 2024, approximately $87.4 million in capital expenditures were related to the conversion of proved undeveloped reserves to proved developed reserves. During the year ended December 31, 2024, approximately $450.0 million in capital expenditures went toward the acquisition and development of proved developed reserves, which includes drilling, completion, and other facility costs associated with acquiring and developing wells. All proved undeveloped reserves disclosed as of December 31, 2024 are scheduled to be converted to proved developed status within five years of initial disclosure.

At December 31, 2023, total estimated proved reserves were approximately 45,516,226 Boe, a 40,553,802 Boe net increase from the previous year end’s estimate of 4,962,424 Boe. Proved developed reserves of 10,680,669 Boe increased approximately 5,718,245 Boe from December 31, 2022 as a result of proved developed reserves acquisitions of 1,426,545 Boe, extensions of 5,682,894 Boe, and total positive revisions of previous estimates of 616,010 Boe, partially offset by production from proved developed reserves of 2,007,205 Boe. The total positive revisions of previous estimates comprised: (i) negative price revisions of (13,622) Boe; (ii) transfer of 89,378 Boe from proved developed to proved undeveloped due to previous misclassifications of reserve; (iii) positive well performance revisions of 515,938 Boe; and (iv) positive revisions of 203,072 Boe due to changes in lifting cost. Proved undeveloped reserves of 34,835,556 Boe increased approximately 34,835,556 Boe from December 31, 2022 as a result of revisions due to previous misclassification of 89,378 Boe of reserves as proved developed reserves and due to the addition of 34,746,179 Boe of operated proved undeveloped reserves stemming from the signing of a drilling rig contract in June 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, approximately $171.2 million in capital expenditures went toward the acquisition and development of proved developed reserves, which includes drilling, completion, and other facility costs associated with acquiring and developing wells. At December 31, 2022, there were no proved undeveloped reserves. Therefore, no capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2023 were related to the conversion of proved undeveloped reserves to proved developed reserves. All proved undeveloped reserves disclosed as of December 31, 2023 are scheduled to be converted to proved developed status within five years of initial disclosure.

Delivery Commitments

We are subject to arrangements pursuant to which we have committed to deliver barrels of crude oil to a purchaser through December 31, 2030. We will be subject to a shortfall fee for failure to meet this commitment. As a part of these arrangements, we have dedicated to the counterparties certain rights to all oil extracted from our wells in certain properties in Dunn County, North Dakota. We have assessed the productivity potential of our leasehold in the area, as well as the feasibility of executing an operational plan to extract oil on our leasehold within the commitment period and dedication area, and deemed it to be reasonable to enter into such an agreement. We delivered 0.2 million barrels of crude oil during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and the remaining aggregate commitment under the contract as of March 31, 2026 is approximately 1.0 million barrels of crude oil. Based on current production levels from the dedicated acreage, we believe we have sufficient production capacity to satisfy the remaining contractual volume commitments. However, future production levels are subject to operational, commodity price, and reservoir performance risks. In the event of a shortfall, any associated fees would not be expected to materially impair our liquidity position.

“Btu-equivalent” production volumes are presented on an oil-equivalent basis using a conversion factor of six Mcf of natural gas per barrel of “oil equivalent,” which is based on approximate energy equivalency and does not reflect the price or value relationship between oil and natural gas.

(2)

Operating costs per Boe increased in 2025 primarily due to (i) the increased proportion of operated production as compared to royalty production, which carries higher direct operating expenses, (ii) inflationary pressures on field services and disposal costs, and (iii) the integration of newly developed wells into our production base. We expect unit costs to moderate over time as operated production scales and fixed field-level costs are absorbed across a larger production base.

Depletion of Oil and Natural Gas Properties

We account for our oil and gas properties under the successful efforts method of accounting. Under this method, the costs of development wells are capitalized to proved properties whether those wells are successful or unsuccessful. Capitalized drilling and completion costs, including lease and well equipment, intangible development costs, and operational support facilities, are depleted using the units-of-production method based on estimated proved developed reserves. Proved leasehold costs are also depleted; however, the units-of-production method is based on estimated total proved reserves. The computation of depletion expense takes into consideration restoration, dismantlement, and abandonment costs, as well as the anticipated proceeds from salvaging equipment.

Depletion expense was $60.0 million and $31.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. On a per unit basis, depletion expense was $17.56 per Boe and $17.77 per Boe, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in our depletion rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 2025 was primarily due to increased proved reserves relative to the change in aggregated proved leasehold and development costs associated with those proved reserves. The depletion rate for the development capital is depleted at a higher rate as compared to leasehold due to the use of proved developed reserves versus total proved reserves under the successful efforts accounting method. We expect overall depletion to continue to increase in subsequent periods as our gross production of oil, gas, and other products increase.

We calculate PV-10 as the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our proved oil and natural gas reserves before income taxes, discounted at 10% annually. PV-10 differs from the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, which is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, because it is calculated on a pre-tax basis. We use PV-10 when assessing the potential return on investment related to our oil and natural gas properties. We believe that the presentation of PV-10 is relevant and useful to investors because it presents the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our estimated net proved reserves prior to taking into account future income taxes, and is useful for evaluating the relative monetary significance of our oil and natural gas properties. Further, investors may utilize PV-10 as a basis for comparison of the relative size and value of our reserves to other companies without regard to the specific tax characteristics of such entities.

Because the Company is a limited liability company and has currently elected to be treated as a partnership for income tax purposes, the pro-rata share of taxable income or loss is included in the individual income tax returns of members based on their percentage of ownership. Consequently, no provision for income taxes is made in our standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, and so currently our PV-10 is identical to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we believe that the presentation of PV-10 is useful to investors because it is a commonly utilized measure in our industry for assessing the value of reserves.

PV-10 is not a substitute for the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. Neither PV-10 nor the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows purport to represent the fair value of our oil and natural gas reserves.

The following table includes a reconciliation of PV-10 to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, for the periods presented:
