Rhea-AI Filing Summary
The Reserve Petroleum Company reported weaker profitability for the three months ended March 31, 2026, even as core operations strengthened. Oil and gas sales rose to $5.54M, up 44% from 2025, driven by higher production volumes and better realized prices for both oil and natural gas.
Net income fell to $0.996M from $1.77M, and basic EPS declined to $6.64 from $11.71, mainly due to sharply higher exploration and DD&A expenses and a $0.36M loss in Other Income/(Loss), Net, reflecting market losses on equity securities. Operating cash flow improved to $2.73M, funding $2.00M of net investing outflows as the company continued to invest in oil and gas properties and a diversified portfolio of private and public investments.
Positive
- Strong operational growth and cash generation: Oil and gas sales increased 44% to $5.54M and net cash provided by operating activities rose 43% to $2.73M, providing internal funding for continued capital investment in properties and diversified investments.
Negative
- Profitability pressured by costs and market losses: Net income declined 44% to $0.996M and EPS fell to $6.64, driven by sharply higher exploration and DD&A expenses and a $0.36M loss in Other Income/(Loss), Net from equity securities.
Insights
Stronger operations but market losses and higher costs cut earnings.
The Reserve Petroleum Company increased oil and gas sales to $5.54M, up 44%, with higher volumes and realized prices in both oil and natural gas. Operating cash flow rose 43% to $2.73M, supporting continued spending on exploration and property acquisitions.
However, net income dropped to $0.996M, down 44%, as exploration expenses climbed to $0.47M and DD&A reached $1.48M. A swing in Other Income/(Loss), Net—from $0.27M income to a $0.36M loss—largely from equity securities, further compressed earnings.
Total assets were $42.08M with equity of $35.01M and modest liabilities of $7.07M as of March 31, 2026. Oil and gas properties, net, accounted for $23.70M, underscoring reliance on exploration and production performance while the investment portfolio introduces additional earnings volatility tied to market valuations.

Variable Interest Entities financial
"Additionally, we consolidate Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) under certain criteria discussed further below."
A variable interest entity (VIE) is a business that a company controls through contracts or special arrangements instead of owning a majority of its shares, like steering a puppet without holding its ticket. Investors care because these arrangements can hide who really bears the financial risks and rewards, affect how assets and liabilities appear on financial statements, and create extra legal or enforcement uncertainty that can change the value and risk of an investment.
Non-Controlling Interests financial
"we record a non-controlling interest as a component of equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets"
An ownership stake in a subsidiary held by outside shareholders rather than the parent company, representing the portion of that subsidiary’s assets and profits the parent does not control. For investors, it shows what part of consolidated earnings and equity belongs to others — like a roommate who owns part of a house — which affects how much value and profit per share are truly attributable to the parent company’s shareholders.
asset retirement obligation financial
"The Company records the fair value of its estimated liability to retire its oil and natural gas producing properties"
A liability recorded for the future cost to retire, dismantle or clean up a long-lived asset — for example removing an oil rig, closing a mine, or decommissioning a plant. Investors care because it reduces reported profit and ties up capital: companies must estimate and set aside money now for a known future expense, and changes to that estimate can swing earnings, debt ratios and the company’s cash needs much like setting aside savings to repair or return a rented property later.
successful efforts method financial
"Oil and Gas Properties, at Cost, Based on the Successful Efforts Method of Accounting – Unproved Properties"
An accounting approach used mainly in oil and gas exploration where companies treat costs for failed exploration as immediate expenses while only keeping successful well and development costs as assets on the balance sheet. For investors, this matters because it makes a company’s profits and asset totals more sensitive to exploration results—like a shopper who throws out broken prototypes but shelves the ones that work—so earnings and book value can swing more sharply depending on drilling outcomes.
fair value hierarchy financial
"The Company uses a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements."

THE RESERVE PETROLEUM COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2026
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Reserve Petroleum Company, a Delaware corporation, is an independent oil and gas company focused on exploration and production. In addition to its core operations, the Company manages a diverse investment portfolio. Our consolidated subsidiaries consist of Grand Woods Development, LLC (“Grand Woods”), an Oklahoma limited liability company and wholly owned Trinity Water Services, LLC ("TWS"), an Oklahoma limited liability company. Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, all references in these notes to “the Company,” “its,” “our,” and “we” are to The Reserve Petroleum Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Reserve Petroleum Company and its subsidiaries in which we hold a controlling interest, reflecting ownership of a majority of the voting interest, as of the financial statement date. Additionally, we consolidate Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) under certain criteria discussed further below. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. When necessary, reclassifications to the consolidated financial statements are made to prior period financial information to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no material impact on net income or retained earnings.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (hereinafter the “2025 Form 10-K”).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals), which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the current interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company decides at the inception of each arrangement whether an entity in which an investment is made, or in which the Company has other variable interests, is considered a VIE. Generally, an entity is a VIE if (1) the entity does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, (2) the entity’s investors lack any characteristics of a controlling financial interest or (3) the entity was established with non-substantive voting rights. The Company consolidates VIEs when it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the party that both: (1) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. If the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it accounts for the investment or other variable interests in a VIE in accordance with other applicable GAAP.
Non-Controlling Interests
When the Company consolidates an entity, 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements. For those consolidated entities in which its ownership is less than 100%, it records a non-controlling interest as a component of equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which represents the third-party ownership in the net assets of the respective consolidated subsidiary. Additionally, the portion of the net income or loss attributable to the non-controlling interest is reported as net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Changes in ownership interests in an entity that do not result in deconsolidation are generally recognized within equity. See Note 6 for additional details on non-controlling interests.

Note 2 – SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has identified Oil and Gas as a reportable segment , which includes oil and natural gas exploration, development and minerals management with areas of concentration in Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming. This reportable segment's assets consist of oil and gas properties, net, presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In the Company's reconciliation to income before income taxes, in addition to segment information, it includes Equity Income in Investees, Interest Expense and Other Income/(Loss) categories to reconcile segment revenues, segment profit and other business activities to our operating results. Components in these categories do not meet the criteria to be considered reportable segments. The following table presents financial information for the Company's reportable segment and a reconciliation to income before income taxes:

TWS entered into an agreement with TWS South, LLC ("TWS South"), a Texas limited liability company, on March 19, 2021, to form a water well drilling company. The agreement was subsequently terminated on April 19, 2024. TWS South holds title to certain Texas assets with TWS is the lienholder. During the term of the agreement, the Company recorded $495,977 in accounts receivable from TWS South. Due to significant uncertainty regarding collectibility, the full amount has been reserved through an allowance for credit losses on the consolidated balance sheets.
The following table presents the summarized assets and liabilities of Grand Woods and TWS included in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025. The assets of Grand Woods and TWS in the table below may only be used to settle obligations of Grand Woods or TWS, respectively.

Note 8 – ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION
The Company records the fair value of its estimated liability to retire its oil and natural gas producing properties in the period in which it is incurred (typically the date of first sale). The estimated liability is calculated by obtaining current estimated plugging costs from the well operators and inflating it over the life of the property. Current year inflation rate used is 2.50 %. When the liability is first recorded, a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset is also recorded. Subsequently, the asset is amortized to expense over the life of the property and the liability is increased annually for the change in its present value which is currently 7.50 %.
A reconciliation of our asset retirement obligation liability is as follows:

Note 9 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company uses a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company's own assumptions.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Certain Company assets are reported at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis. The Company determined the fair value of equity securities and available-for-sale debt securities using quoted market prices, public Net Asset Values ("NAV") and where applicable, securities with similar maturity dates and interest rates. Level 3 assets use NAV as fair value.
At March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company's assets reported at fair value on a recurring basis using the three level valuation hierarchy are summarized as follows:
| March 31, 2026 | |||||||||||||||||

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company's asset retirement obligation annually represents a non-recurring fair value liability, for which there were no liabilities incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $4,074 in the comparable period in 2025. See Note 8 above for more information about this liability and the inputs used for calculating fair value.
There were no Impairment losses recorded on oil and gas assets in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $45,821 in comparable period in 2025. This also relates to non-recurring fair value measurements calculated using Level 3 inputs. Certain oil and natural gas producing properties have been deemed to be impaired because the assets, evaluated on a property-by-property basis, are not expected to recover their entire carrying value through future cash flows. Impairment losses, when recorded, are included in the consolidated statements of income in the line-item Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Valuation Provision. Impairments are calculated by reducing the carrying value of the individual properties to an estimated fair value equal to the discounted present value of the future cash flow from these properties. Forward pricing is used for calculating future revenue and cash flow.

Forward-Looking Statements
This discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements give the Company’s current expectations of future events. They include statements regarding the drilling of oil and natural gas wells, the production that may be obtained from oil and natural gas wells, cash flow and anticipated liquidity and expected future expenses.
Although management believes the expectations in these and other forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance they will prove to have been correct. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Factors that would cause actual results to differ materially from expected results are described under “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 3 of the 2025 Form 10-K.
We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q, and we undertake no obligation to update this information because of new information, future developments, or otherwise as required by law. You are urged to carefully review and consider the disclosures made in this and our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Please refer to the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of cash flows in this Form 10-Q to supplement the following discussion.

Discussion of Significant Changes in Working Capital. In addition to the changes in cash and cash equivalents discussed above, there were other changes in working capital line items from December 31, 2025. A discussion of these items follows.
Equity securities decreased $300,432 (7%) to $4,215,983 as of March 31, 2026, from $4,516,415 at December 31, 2025. The decrease was the result of $101,436 in net purchases and a $401,868 net decrease in market value.
Accounts receivable increased $223,366 (7%) to $3,217,939 as of March 31, 2026, from $2,994,573 at December 31, 2025, primarily due to substantial oil and gas receivables from new wells.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations – Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
Net income decreased $771,667 (44%) to $996,418 in the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $1,768,085 in the comparable period in 2025. Net income per share attributable to common stockholders, basic, decreased $5.07 to $6.64 in the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $11.71 in the comparable period in 2025. A discussion of revenue from oil and natural gas sales and other significant line items in the consolidated statements of income follows.
Operating Revenues. Revenues from oil and natural gas sales increased $1,691,590 (44%) to $5,543,055 in the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $3,851,465 in the comparable period in 2025. The increase is due to an increase in oil sales of $1,108,064, an increase in natural gas sales of $628,289, and a decrease in miscellaneous oil and natural gas product sales of $44,763.
The $1,108,064 (42%) increase in oil sales to $3,750,765 in the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $2,642,701 in the comparable period in 2025 was the result of an increase in the volume sold and an increase in the average price per barrel (Bbl). The volume of oil sold increased 13,446 Bbls to 53,350 Bbls in the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 39,904 Bbls in the comparable period in 2025, resulting in a positive volume variance of $890,529. The average price per Bbl increased $4.07 to $70.30 per Bbl in the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $66.23 per Bbl in the comparable period in 2025, resulting in a positive price variance of $217,535.
The $628,289 (56%) increase in natural gas sales to $1,752,004 in the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $1,123,715 in the comparable period in 2025 was the result of an increase in the volume sold and an increase in the average price per thousand cubic feet ("MCF"). The volume of natural gas sold increased 120,078 MCF to 384,014 MCF in the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 263,936 MCF in the comparable period in 2025, resulting in a positive volume variance of $511,532. The average price per MCF increased $0.30 to $4.56 per MCF in the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $4.26 per MCF in the comparable period in 2025, resulting in a positive price variance of $116,757.
For both oil and natural gas sales, the price change was mostly the result of a change in the spot market prices upon which most of our oil and natural gas sales are based. These spot market prices have had significant fluctuations in the past and these fluctuations are expected to continue.

The Reserve Company earned net income of $996,418 in Q1 2026, down from $1,768,085 a year earlier. Basic EPS decreased to $6.64 from $11.71, as higher costs and investment losses more than offset strong growth in oil and gas revenues.

Net cash provided by operating activities rose to $2,731,218 in Q1 2026 from $1,906,890 a year earlier. The increase was driven by higher oil and gas revenues and non-cash charges like DD&A, helping fund capital spending and investment activity without relying on new borrowing.
Why did The Reserve Company (RSRV) net income decline despite higher revenues?
Net income fell even with higher revenues because operating costs and expenses rose sharply and Other Income/(Loss), Net swung to a loss of $362,324. Exploration and DD&A expenses increased significantly, while market losses on equity securities reduced overall profitability versus 2025.
What is the balance sheet profile of The Reserve Company (RSRV) as of March 31, 2026?

How did The Reserve Company’s (RSRV) investment portfolio affect Q1 2026 results?
The investment portfolio negatively impacted Q1 2026 through a $401,868 net loss on equity securities, compared with a much smaller loss in 2025. This contributed to Other Income/(Loss), Net moving from $267,703 income to a $362,324 loss, weighing on overall earnings.
