Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Riley Exploration Permian reported strong 2025 growth, driven by higher production and a major midstream asset sale. Average daily output rose to 29.2 MBoe/d from 22.5 MBoe/d, supporting revenues of $392 million and net income of $161 million, or $7.59 per diluted share.

The company generated $213 million of operating cash flow and $81 million of Total Free Cash Flow, while spending $120 million in accrual capital expenditures. A midstream sale brought $123 million upfront, plus up to $60 million in contingent payments, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $72 million.

Riley Permian reduced total debt by $25 million for the year and cut debt by $120 million in the fourth quarter, ending 2025 with $255 million of principal debt and a year-end debt-to-Adjusted EBITDAX ratio of 1.0x. Proved reserves increased 19% to 147 MMBoe, with PV-10 of $1.39 billion. For 2026, the company guides to 35.0–37.0 MBoe/d of production on $190–$210 million of capital spending, and it has authorized up to $100 million of stock repurchases alongside a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share.

Positive

  • Stronger profitability and cash generation: 2025 net income rose to $160.8 million (from $88.9 million), with $213 million of operating cash flow and $81 million of Total Free Cash Flow, supporting both growth and shareholder returns.
  • Balance sheet and reserve enhancements: The company cut principal debt to $255 million and achieved a 1.0x debt-to-Adjusted EBITDAX ratio, while growing proved reserves 19% to 147 MMBoe and reporting PV-10 of $1.39 billion.
  • Shareholder return framework expanded: Management increased the quarterly dividend to $0.40 per share and authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $100 million, then began executing buybacks in early 2026.

Negative

  • Free cash flow and margins softened versus 2024: Total Free Cash Flow declined to $80.6 million from $117.1 million and Adjusted EBITDAX fell to $260.6 million from $284.2 million, reflecting lower realized prices and higher costs.
  • Higher capital intensity in 2026 outlook: 2026 guidance calls for $190–$210 million of activity-based capital expenditures, materially above 2025 levels, which may pressure near-term free cash flow despite expected volume growth.

Insights

Production, reserves and balance sheet all strengthened in 2025.

Riley Permian delivered higher volumes and cash generation, averaging 29.2 MBoe/d and producing net income of $160.8 million. A key driver was the midstream sale for $123 million cash plus contingent payments, which unlocked value and boosted reported earnings.

Operating cash flow of $213 million funded $120 million of accrual capex and still left $81 million of Total Free Cash Flow. Management used proceeds and cash flow to cut principal debt to $255 million, achieving a 1.0x debt-to-Adjusted EBITDAX ratio, while maintaining dividends and authorizing up to $100 million in buybacks.

On the asset side, proved reserves grew 19% to 147 MMBoe and PV-10 reached $1.39 billion, reflecting successful drilling and accretive acquisitions. 2026 guidance of 35.0–37.0 MBoe/d on $190–$210 million of capex signals a step-up in activity; actual results will depend on execution and commodity prices, as highlighted in the risk disclosures.

RESERVES
Estimates of Riley Permian’s proved reserves as of December 31, 2025, were prepared by Ryder Scott Company, L.P., the Company’s third-party reservoir engineer, using the SEC pricing methodology. Proved reserves at year-end 2025 of 147 MMBoe increased by 24 MMBoe or 19% over year-end 2024 reserves. Oil represented 50% of total proved reserves. Proved developed producing reserves (“PDP”) increased by 13% to 87 MMBoe, which represented 59% of total proved reserves. Proved undeveloped reserves (“PUD”) increased by 29% to 61 MMBoe, when compared to year-end 2024. At December 31, 2025, the standardized measure of discounted cash flows and PV-10(1) were $1.14 billion and $1.39 billion, respectively.
The net proved reserve additions resulted in a reserve replacement ratio (defined as the sum of extensions and discoveries, revisions, acquisitions and divestitures, divided by annual production) of 323% for the year ended December 31, 2025. The organic reserve replacement ratio (defined as the sum of extensions and discoveries and revisions, divided by annual production) was 230%.

(1)A non-GAAP financial measure as defined and reconciled in the supplemental financial tables available on the Company’s website at www.rileypermian.com.

Exhibit 99.1
Extensions and discoveries were the primary contributor to the increase in reserves of 24 MMBoe, which consisted of 23 MMBoe added to PUDs as a result of drilling activity during the year, which allowed for the booking of adjacent PUDs for locations that were previously booked as unproved reserves or not at all, and 1 MMBoe added to PDP as a result of drilling successful wells that were previously classified as unproved locations. The Company also acquired 11 MMBoe in reserves and divested 1 MMBoe. The Company had production of 11 MMBoe and positive revisions of previous estimates of 1 MMBoe.

While it is not possible to identify all factors, we continue to face many risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: the volatility of oil, natural gas and NGL prices; regional supply and demand factors, any delays, curtailment delays or interruptions of production, and any governmental order, rule or regulation that may impose production limits; cost and availability of gathering, pipeline, refining, transportation, power and other midstream and downstream activities, which could result in a prolonged shut-in of our wells that may adversely affect our reserves, financial condition and results of operations; severe weather and other risks that lead to a lack of any available markets; our ability to successfully complete mergers, acquisitions or divestitures; the inability or failure of the Company to successfully integrate the acquired assets into our operations and development activities; the potential delays in the development, construction or start-up of planned projects; failure to realize any of the anticipated benefits of our joint ventures or other equity investments; risks relating to our operations, including development drilling and testing results and performance of acquired properties and newly drilled wells; inability to prove up undeveloped acreage and maintain production on leases; any reduction in our borrowing base on our Credit Facility from time to time and our ability to repay any excess borrowings as a result of such reduction; the impact of our derivative strategy and the results of future settlement; our ability to comply with the financial covenants contained in our Credit Facility and Senior Notes; changes in general economic, business or industry conditions, including changes in inflation rates, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; conditions in the capital, financial and credit markets and our ability to obtain capital needed to fund our exploration and development on favorable terms or at all; the loss of certain tax deductions; risks associated with executing our business strategy, including any changes in our strategy; risks associated with concentration of operations in one major geographic area; legislative or regulatory changes, including initiatives related to hydraulic fracturing, regulation of greenhouse gases, water conservation, seismic activity, weatherization, or protection of certain species of wildlife, or of sensitive environmental areas; the ability to receive drilling and other permits or approvals and rights-of-way in a timely manner (or at all), which may be restricted by governmental regulation and legislation; restrictions on the use of water, including limits on the use of produced water and a moratorium on new produced water well permits recently imposed by the Railroad Commission of Texas in an effort to control induced seismicity in the Permian Basin; changes in government environmental policies and other environmental risks; the availability of drilling equipment and the timing of production; tax consequences of business transactions; public health crisis, such as pandemics and epidemics, and any related government policies and actions and the effects of such public health crises on the oil and natural gas industry, pricing and demand for oil and natural gas and supply chain logistics; general domestic and international economic, market and political conditions, including military conflicts, global economic growth, unpredictability of new tariffs, actions of OPEC+ countries and changes to the current political environment under the new administration; risks related to litigation; and cybersecurity threats, technology system failures and data security issues.
The estimates and guidance presented in this release are based on assumptions of current and future capital expenditure levels, prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs, available liquidity, indications of supply and demand for oil, well results, operating costs and the timing and completion of pending projects and acquisitions. The guidance provided in this release does not constitute any form of guarantee or assurance that the matters indicated will be achieved. While we believe these estimates and the assumptions on which they are based are reasonable as of the date on which they are made, they are inherently uncertain and are subject to, among other things, significant business, economic, operational, and regulatory risks, and uncertainties, some of which are not known as of the date of the statement. Guidance and estimates, and the assumptions on which they are based, are subject to material revision. Actual results may differ materially from estimates and guidance.
