Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Vermilion Energy Inc. reports Q2 2026 fund flows from operations of $231 million and net earnings of $134 million, reversing a loss a year earlier. Production averaged 125,789 boe/d, 71% natural gas, exceeding the top end of prior guidance.

The company increased 2026 production guidance to 121,000–123,000 boe/d while keeping exploration and development capital at $600–$630 million. Management highlights record output from the Mica Montney asset, continued Deep Basin outperformance, and initial production from the Wisselshorst gas discovery in Germany, plus an acquisition adding about 1,000 boe/d.

Free cash flow in Q2 was about $122 million, supporting roughly $70 million of net debt reduction to $1.22 billion and a net debt-to-FFO ratio of 1.3 times. Cumulative debt reduction over the past five quarters totals $840 million. Vermilion returned $26 million to shareholders in the quarter through dividends and share repurchases and has raised its capital return framework to target 40–60% of excess free cash flow, alongside a quarterly dividend of $0.135 per share and an active normal course issuer bid. Approximately 47% of expected net-of-royalty production for the remainder of 2026 is hedged.

Positive

  • Net debt has been reduced by $840 million over five quarters, reaching $1.22 billion and a net debt-to-four-quarter fund flows from operations ratio of 1.3x, strengthening the balance sheet.
  • 2026 production guidance increased to 121,000–123,000 boe/d while maintaining exploration and development capital at $600–$630 million, indicating higher expected output without additional planned spending.
  • The capital return framework was raised to target 40–60% of excess free cash flow to shareholders, supported by a quarterly dividend of $0.135 per share and ongoing share repurchases under the normal course issuer bid.

Negative

  • None.

Filing Explained

The renewed buyback can reduce Vermilion’s common-share count through July 11, 2027; the filing records only 0.1 million post-quarter cancellations.

This Form 6-K is Vermilion Energy’s interim report for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, furnished on July 29, 2026. Its material capital-structure disclosure is that the renewed normal course issuer bid permits purchases of up to 10% of outstanding common shares, or 15,157,179 shares, from July 12, 2026 through July 11, 2027; purchased shares will be cancelled.

Cancellation removes repurchased shares from the outstanding share count, so the authorization creates capacity to reduce the share base for remaining holders, but it is not a commitment to buy the entire ceiling. The filing reports approximately 152.8 million common shares outstanding on July 29, 2026.

Separately, during the six months ended June 30, 2026, Vermilion purchased and cancelled $43.6 million of its 2030 senior notes and $13.5 million of its 2033 senior notes, reducing those outstanding debt instruments.

The next specified resolution point for the share-buyback capacity is the NCIB’s July 11, 2027 expiry; subsequent filings can show how much of the authorized amount was actually purchased and cancelled.

fund flows from operations (FFO) financial
"Fund flows from operations (FFO) is a non-GAAP financial measure and total of segments measure"
free cash flow (FCF) financial
"Free cash flow (FCF) and excess free cash flow (EFCF) are most directly comparable to cash flows from operating activities"
Free cash flow (FCF) is the cash a company generates from its regular business after paying for necessary investments like equipment, buildings, or repairs—think of it as the money left in your wallet after paying bills and fixing the car. Investors watch FCF because it shows how much real, spendable cash a company has to pay dividends, pay down debt, buy back shares, or fund growth, making it a key measure of financial health and flexibility.
excess free cash flow (EFCF) financial
"EFCF is comprised of free cash flow less payments on lease obligations and asset retirement obligations settled"
operating netback financial
"Operating netback is non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as sales less royalties, operating expense, transportation costs, PRRT"
Operating netback is a per-unit measure of how much cash a company keeps from selling a product after subtracting direct costs tied to producing and delivering that unit, such as royalties, production taxes, operating expenses and transportation. For investors it’s like the profit margin on one item — a quick way to compare the underlying cash profitability and efficiency of different producers or projects regardless of crude price or output volume.
normal course issuer bid (NCIB) financial
"the Toronto Stock Exchange approved the Company's notice of intention to renew its normal course issuer bid"
A normal course issuer bid (NCIB) is a regulated program that allows a publicly traded company to repurchase its own shares on the open market over a set period, following disclosure and trading rules. For investors, an NCIB can raise the value of remaining shares by reducing the number of shares available and can signal management’s confidence, much like a company buying back coupons to make the remaining coupons more valuable; it also uses cash that could have gone to growth or dividends.
asset retirement obligations financial
"As at June 30, 2026, asset retirement obligations were $1.1 billion compared to $1.0 billion"
Asset retirement obligations are a company’s recorded promise to pay for dismantling, cleaning up, or restoring property when a long-lived asset is retired — for example decommissioning a plant or removing equipment. Companies estimate the future cleanup cost today and book it as a liability (and add the cost to the asset), so it affects the balance sheet, reported profits over time, and future cash needs; investors watch it like a planned bill that can reduce cash available for returns.

This document may disclose certain oil and gas metrics, including capital spent to drill, complete, equip and tie-in a well ("DCET costs"), which do not have standardized meanings or standard methods of calculation and therefore such measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies and should not be used to make comparisons. Such metrics have been included in this MD&A to provide readers with additional measures to evaluate the Company's performance; however, such measures are not reliable indicators of the Company's future performance and future performance may not compare to the Company's performance in previous periods and therefore such metrics should not be unduly relied upon. Additional oil and gas metrics in this document may include, but are not limited to:

 

Boe Equivalency: Per barrel of oil equivalent amounts have been calculated using a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent (6:1). Barrel of oil equivalents (boe) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. In addition, as the value ratio between natural gas and crude oil based on the current prices of natural gas and crude oil is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

 

Estimates of Drilling Locations: Unbooked drilling locations are the internal estimates of Vermilion based on Vermilion's prospective acreage and an assumption as to the number of wells that can be drilled per section based on industry practice and internal review. Unbooked locations do not have attributed reserves or resources (including contingent and prospective). Unbooked locations have been identified by Vermilion's management as an estimation of Vermilion's multi-year drilling activities based on evaluation of applicable geologic, seismic, engineering, production and reserves information. There is no certainty that Vermilion will drill all unbooked drilling locations and if drilled there is no certainty that such locations will result in additional oil and natural gas reserves, resources or production. The drilling locations on which Vermilion will actually drill wells, including the number and timing thereof is ultimately dependent upon the availability of funding, regulatory approvals, seasonal restrictions, oil and natural gas prices, costs, actual drilling results, additional reservoir information that is obtained and other factors. While a certain number of the unbooked drilling locations have been de-risked by Vermilion drilling existing wells in relative close proximity to such unbooked drilling locations, the majority of other unbooked drilling locations are farther away from existing wells where management of Vermilion has less information about the characteristics of the reservoir and therefore there is more uncertainty whether wells will be drilled in such locations and if drilled there is more uncertainty that such wells will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production.

 

Initial Production Rates: This document discloses initial production rates for certain wells over short periods of time (i.e. IP90, etc.), which are preliminary and not necessarily indicative of long-term well or reservoir performance, ultimate recovery, reserves or future profitability. Initial production rates are subject to a high degree of predictive uncertainty as a result of limited production history and may not be representative of stabilized production rates. Production over a longer period will experience natural decline rates, which may be significant and may not be consistent with the decline observed during the initial production period. Actual results will differ from those realized during an initial production period and the difference may be material. Readers should not assume that the performance of the wells referenced herein is representative of the performance of other wells or future drilling locations.

Highlights

 

Q2 2026 Results

 

Production averaged 125,789 boe/d(9) (71% natural gas), exceeding the top end of guidance and reflecting continued outperformance across Vermilion's asset base. Year-to-date, production per share has grown by 6% compared to 2025.

 

Production in the first half of 2026 exceeded expectations, resulting in an increase to full-year production guidance to 121,000 to 123,000 boe/d (70% natural gas)(12), while E&D capital expenditures remain unchanged at $600 to $630 million.

 

Generated $231 million ($1.51/basic share)(2) of fund flows from operations ("FFO")(1) and $122 million of free cash flow ("FCF")(5), fully funding $110 million of exploration and development ("E&D") capital expenditures(3).

 

Reduced net debt(6) by approximately $70 million to $1.22 billion at June 30, 2026, bringing net debt reduction to $840 million over the past 15 months. Continued debt reduction has resulted in a structural improvement in unit interest expense, down approximately 35% from the prior year.

 

Driven by accelerated debt reduction and operational performance, updated return of capital framework to target 40% to 60% of excess free cash flow to shareholders, up from the previous 40% target. Returned $26 million to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks, including $21 million in dividends and $5 million of share repurchases.

 

Realized an average natural gas sales price of $5.08/mcf, more than triple the AECO benchmark, reflecting structural exposure to premium international gas markets and portfolio diversification. Month ahead TTF averaged $22.68/MMBtu in the quarter and current prices for key European gas markets are over $25/MMBtu.

 

Reported net income of $134 million ($0.88/basic share), driven by strong European gas and crude oil pricing and gains on derivative instruments.

 

Deep Basin drilling results continue to outperform budget and acquisition assumptions, driving corporate production outperformance year-to-date.

 

In the Montney, the 8-35 BC six-well pad delivered Tier 1 performance of over 950 boe/d IP90 per well (49% oil and liquids)(13) at a new low per well cost of $8.2 million.

 

In Germany, achieved first production from the Wisselshorst discovery, Vermilion’s largest discovery in Europe, in July 2026. Vermilion is on track to increase production through planned infrastructure expansion over the next two years to produce the 67 Bcf (43 Bcf net) of gas reserves assigned to the discovery well. In addition, the Company continues to advance plans to spud the next two wells on the Bommelsen license in early 2027.

 

Closed the acquisition of producing assets in Germany subsequent to the quarter, adding approximately 1,000 boe/d (85% natural gas) of low-decline production and increasing control of infrastructure surrounding the Osterheide area.

 

Outlook

 

Q3 2026 production is expected to average 116,000 to 118,000 boe/d, reflecting planned maintenance in Ireland, Germany and Canada.

 

Declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.135 per common share, payable on September 29, 2026, to shareholders of record on September 15, 2026.

(1)Fund flows from operations (FFO) is a total of segments and non-GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to net earnings (loss) and is calculated as sales less royalties, transportation expense, operating expense, G&A expense, corporate income tax expense (recovery), PRRT expense, interest expense, equity based compensation settled in cash, realized (gain) loss on derivatives, realized foreign exchange (gain) loss, and realized other (income) expense. The measure is used by management to assess the contribution of each business unit to Vermilion’s ability to generate income necessary to pay dividends, repay debt, fund asset retirement obligations, and make capital investments. FFO does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS® Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other issuers. More information and a reconciliation to net earnings (loss), the most directly comparable primary financial statement measure, can be found in the “Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures” section of this document. Fund flows from continuing operations and fund flows from discontinued operations are calculated in the same manner as FFO and are most directly comparable to net earnings (loss) from continuing operations and net earnings (loss) discontinued operations, respectively.

(2)Fund flows from operations per basic share and diluted share is calculated by dividing fund flows from operations (total of segments and non-GAAP financial measure) by the basic weighted average shares outstanding as defined under IFRS Accounting Standards. Fund flows from operations per diluted share is calculated by dividing fund flows from operations by the sum of basic weighted average shares outstanding and incremental shares issuable under the equity based compensation plans as determined using the treasury stock method. Management assesses fund flows from operations on a per share basis as we believe this provides a measure of our operating performance after taking into account the issuance and potential future issuance of Vermilion common shares. More information and a reconciliation to cash flows used in investing activities, the most directly comparable primary financial statement measure, can be found in the “Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures” section of this document. Fund flows from continuing operations per basic and diluted share and fund flows from discontinued operations per basic and diluted share are calculated in the same manner as FFO per basic and diluted share.

 

(3)Capital expenditures is a non-GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to cash flows used in investing activities and is calculated as the sum of drilling and development costs and exploration and evaluation costs. Management considers capital expenditures to be a useful measure of our investment in our existing asset base. Capital expenditures does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other issuers. More information and a reconciliation to cash flows used in investing activities, the most directly comparable primary financial statement measure, can be found in the “Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures” section of this document. Capital expenditures is also referred to as E&D capital expenditures.

 

(4)Acquisitions is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not a standardized financial measure under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers. Acquisitions is calculated as the sum of acquisitions, net of cash acquired, acquisitions of securities and net acquired working capital (deficit). Management believes that including these components provides a useful measure of the economic investment associated with our acquisition activity and is most directly comparable to cash flows used in investing activities. More information and a reconciliation to acquisitions, net of cash acquired and acquisition of securities, the most directly comparable primary financial statement measure, can be found in the “Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures” section of this document.

 

(5)Free cash flow (FCF) and excess free cash flow (EFCF) are non-GAAP financial measures most directly comparable to cash flows from operating activities. FCF is calculated as FFO less drilling and development costs and exploration and evaluation costs and EFCF is calculated as FCF less payments on lease obligations and asset retirement obligations settled. FCF is used by management to determine the funding available for investing and financing activities including payment of dividends, repayment of long-term debt, reallocation into existing business units and deployment into new ventures. EFCF is used by management to determine the funding available to return to shareholders after costs attributable to normal business operations. FCF and EFCF do not have standardized meanings under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other issuers. More information and a reconciliation to cash flows from operating activities, the most directly comparable primary financial statement measure, can be found in the “Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures” section of this document.

 

(6)Net debt is a capital management measure in accordance with IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” that is most directly comparable to long-term debt and is calculated as long-term debt (excluding unrealized foreign exchange on swapped USD borrowings) plus adjusted working deficit (capital), a non-GAAP financial measure described in the “Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures” section of this document. Management considers this a helpful representation of Vermilion’s net financing obligations after adjusting for the timing of working capital fluctuations. More information and a reconciliation to long-term debt, the most directly comparable primary financial statement measure, can be found in the “Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures” section of this document.

 

(7)Net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations is a non-GAAP ratio and is not a standardized financial measure under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers. Net debt to four quarter FFO is calculated as net debt divided by FFO from the preceding four quarters. Management uses this measure to assess the Company’s ability to repay debt. More information can be found in the “Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures” section of this document.

Subsequent to February 26, 2025, net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations is calculated inclusive of Westbrick Energy's pre-acquisition four quarter trailing fund flows from operations, as if the acquisition of Westbrick Energy occurred at the beginning of the four quarter trailing period, and exclusive of the four quarter trailing fund flows from discontinued operations to reflect the Company’s ability to repay debt on a pro forma basis.

 

(8)Diluted shares outstanding represents the sum of shares outstanding at the period end plus outstanding awards under the Long-term Incentive Plan, based on current estimates of future performance factors and forfeiture rates.

 

(9)Please refer to Supplemental Table 4 “Production” of the accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis for disclosure by product type.

 

(10)Operating netback is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not standardized under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers. Operating netback is most directly comparable to net earnings (loss) and is calculated as sales less royalties, operating expense, transportation expense, PRRT expense, and realized hedging (gain) loss, and when presented on a per unit basis is a non-GAAP ratio. Management assesses operating netback as a measure of the profitability and efficiency of our field operations. More information and a reconciliation to net earnings (loss), the most directly comparable primary financial statement measure, can be found in the “Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures” section of this document.

 

(11)Fund flows from operations per boe is a non-GAAP ratio that is not standardized under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers. FFO per boe is calculated as FFO divided by boe production. FFO per boe is used by management to assess the profitability of Vermilion’s business units and Vermilion as a whole. More information can be found in the “Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures” section of this document. Fund flows from continuing operations per boe and fund flows from discontinued operations per boe are calculated in the same manner as FFO per boe.

Message to Shareholders

 

Operational performance in the first half of 2026 continues to exceed the expectations outlined in Vermilion’s five-year plan presented at Investor Day in December 2025. Strong second quarter results, including production above the top end of guidance, have supported an increase to annual production guidance to 121,000 to 123,000 boe/d, approximately 2% above prior guidance with no changes to the Company’s capital budget. The current production guidance represents a 50% increase in production per share compared to 2024, the last full year before Vermilion's strategic portfolio repositioning. Consistent with prior guidance, Vermilion continues to expect approximately 70% of full-year production to be weighted towards natural gas. The Company also achieved another key milestone in its European gas strategy with first production from Wisselshorst, Vermilion's largest discovery in Europe to date. Accelerating debt reduction and improving profitability provides Vermilion with increased flexibility to provide returns to shareholders, should business conditions present opportunity.

 

Performance was driven by record production at Mica Montney, continued strong Deep Basin results and the staged restart of production in Australia following the necessary repair work caused by back-to-back cyclones. At Mica, the most recent six-well pad (the 8-35 BC pad) delivered Tier 1 performance, supported by strong liquids production, which reinforces the quality and repeatability of the Company's Montney inventory and its capacity to generate attractive returns across commodity price cycles. In Germany, Vermilion achieved a significant milestone in its deep gas exploration program, as the first Wisselshorst well was brought on production in July 2026, at initially restricted rates. This marks the first production from Vermilion's largest discovery in Europe to date while the first well, Osterheide, continues to produce at rates consistent with prior quarters. Production is expected to expand over the next two years through planned infrastructure investments and follow-up drilling beginning in early 2027. Subsequent to quarter-end, Vermilion closed the previously announced acquisition in Germany, adding approximately 1,000 boe/d of production (85% natural gas) and ownership of key gathering infrastructure around the Osterheide well.

 

Vermilion’s capital allocation priorities remain focused on disciplined investment and balance sheet strength to deliver shareholder returns. Following $840 million of debt reduction over the past five quarters, Vermilion has accelerated progress toward its $1 billion net debt target, the next milestone in the Company’s capital allocation framework. Reflecting the strength of its balance sheet, improved visibility to future free cash flow and confidence in the business, Vermilion is increasing its return of capital framework to target 40% to 60% of excess free cash flow (“EFCF”)(3) to shareholders, up from the previous 40% target. Vermilion's return of capital program is supported by a sustainable base dividend, which has grown for five consecutive years, combined with an ongoing share buyback program.

 

Q2 2026 Review

 

In the second quarter of 2026, Vermilion generated $231 million of FFO on E&D capital expenditures of $110 million, resulting in FCF of $122 million. Net debt was reduced by approximately $70 million to $1.22 billion at June 30, 2026, resulting in net debt to four quarter trailing FFO(4) of 1.3 times. Continued debt reduction has resulted in a structural improvement in unit interest expense, down approximately 35% from the prior year. The Company also returned $26 million to shareholders through $21 million of dividends and $5 million of share repurchases in the quarter.

 

Vermilion recognized a net gain on hedging in the quarter as a realized loss of $57 million was more than offset by unrealized mark-to-market gains of $174 million on the Company's hedge portfolio. Changes in the fair value of hedging contracts are recognized in earnings each quarter and largely reflect movements in forward commodity prices relative to Vermilion’s hedge position. Vermilion has hedged approximately 30% of estimated corporate net-of-royalty production out to Q4 2028, providing investors a balance of more stable cash flows and exposure to higher prices, while protecting project-level returns.

 

Production averaged 125,789 boe/d (71% natural gas)(1), exceeding the top end of our guidance range and in-line with the first quarter of 2026. Production from Vermilion's Canadian operations averaged 99,605 boe/d(1) in Q2 2026, in-line with the prior quarter, and included record production from the Mica Montney asset. Vermilion continues to optimize AECO exposure and will prioritize profitability over production through periods of weaker prices. Production from Vermilion's International operations averaged 26,182 boe/d(1) in Q2 2026, up 1% over the prior quarter, with increased production in Australia partially offset by natural declines in other business units as no new wells came online in the quarter.

 

In Q2 2026, the Company drilled six (6.0 net), completed six (5.5 net), and brought on production five (4.3 net) liquids-rich gas wells in the Deep Basin, shifting to liquids-rich development in the Rock Creek, Niton, and Ellerslie. Activity levels were lower as planned compared to the prior quarter due to spring break-up, and the Company will maintain a three-rig drilling program in the Deep Basin over the balance of the year. Consistent with the prior quarter, the Company had several Deep Basin wells ranked among the most prolific in Alberta during the quarter. The Deep Basin drilling program continues to outperform budget and acquisition assumptions and is the main driver for corporate production outperformance year-to-date.

 

In the Montney, Vermilion drilled one (1.0 net) and completed four (4.0 net) liquids-rich gas wells. The IP90(5) for our most recent 6-well pad (the 8-35 BC pad) was over 950 boe/d, comprised of 3 mmcf/d of natural gas and 470 bbls/d of oil and NGLs per well, which was achieved for DCET costs of $8.2 million per well. Strong performance from these wells drove record quarterly production on our Mica asset in Q2 2026.

Activity in Europe focused on bringing the Wisselshorst well online and preparing for follow-up drilling on the Bommelsen license in 2027, the execution of workover programs and maintenance activities, and preparing for drilling in the Netherlands in the second half of this year. In Australia, production operations at Wandoo safely resumed during the quarter following necessary repair work, and are expected to continue to ramp up over the balance of the year. Vermilion did not export any oil in Australia during the second quarter, but expects a lifting in Q3 2026 and to return to more regularly scheduled liftings moving forward.

 

Outlook and Guidance Update

 

Vermilion expects Q3 2026 production to average 116,000 to 118,000 boe/d, reflecting planned maintenance in Ireland, Germany and Canada. Production in the first half of 2026 has exceeded budget expectations and as a result, production guidance has been increased to 121,000 to 123,000 boe/d (70% natural gas)(2), while E&D capital expenditures remain unchanged at $600 to $630 million. Both E&D capital expenditures and operating expenses are weighted toward the second half of the year and are within the stated guidance ranges on a full-year basis.

 

Commodity Hedging

 

Vermilion hedges to manage commodity price exposures and increase the stability of cash flows. In aggregate, 47% of expected net-of-royalty production is hedged for the remainder of 2026. With respect to individual commodity products, 58% of European natural gas production, 54% of crude oil production, and 43% of Canadian natural gas volumes have been hedged, respectively.

Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures

 

This report and other materials released by Vermilion includes financial measures that are not standardized, specified, defined, or determined under IFRS Accounting Standards and are therefore considered non-GAAP or other specified financial measures and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These financial measures include:

 

Total of Segments Measures

 

Fund flows from operations (FFO): Most directly comparable to net earnings (loss), FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and total of segments measure comprised of sales less royalties, transportation, operating, G&A, corporate income tax, PRRT, interest expense, equity based compensation settled in cash, realized gain (loss) on derivatives, realized foreign exchange gain (loss), and realized other income (expense). The measure is used by management to assess the contribution of each business unit to Vermilion's ability to generate income necessary to pay dividends, repay debt, fund asset retirement obligations and make capital investments. Reconciliation to the most directly comparable primary financial statement measures can be found below. Fund flows from continuing operations and fund flows from discontinued operations are calculated in the same manner as FFO and is most directly comparable to net earnings (loss) from continuing operations and net earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Non-GAAP Ratios

Fund flows from operations per basic and diluted share: FFO per basic share and diluted share are non-GAAP ratios. Management assesses fund flows from operations on a per share basis as we believe this provides a measure of our operating performance after taking into account the issuance and potential future issuance of Vermilion common shares. Fund flows from operations per basic share is calculated by dividing fund flows from operations (total of segments measure) by the basic weighted average shares outstanding as defined under IFRS Accounting Standards. Fund flows from operations per diluted share is calculated by dividing fund flows from operations by the sum of basic weighted average shares outstanding and incremental shares issuable under the equity based compensation plans as determined using the treasury stock method. Fund flows from continuing operations per basic and diluted share and fund flows from discontinued operations per basic and diluted share are calculated in the same manner as FFO per basic and diluted share.

Fund flows from operations per boe: Management uses fund flows from operations per boe to assess the profitability of our business units and Vermilion as a whole. Fund flows from operations per boe is calculated by dividing fund flows from operations (total of segments measure) by boe production. Fund flows from continuing operations per boe and fund flows from discontinued operations per boe are calculated in the same manner as FFO per boe.

Free cash flow (FCF) and excess free cash flow (EFCF): Most directly comparable to cash flows from operating activities, FCF is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as fund flows from operations less drilling and development costs and exploration and evaluation costs and EFCF is comprised of FCF less payments on lease obligations and asset retirement obligations settled. FCF is used by management to determine the funding available for investing and financing activities including payment of dividends, repayment of long-term debt, reallocation into existing business units and deployment into new ventures. EFCF is used by management to determine the funding available to return to shareholders after costs attributable to normal business operations. Reconciliation to the primary financial statement measures can be found in the following table.

Payout and payout % of FFO: Payout and payout % of FFO are, respectively, a non-GAAP financial measure and non-GAAP ratio. Payout is most directly comparable to dividends declared. Payout is comprised of dividends declared plus drilling and development costs, exploration and evaluation costs, and asset retirement obligations settled, and payout % of FFO is calculated as payout divided by FFO. The measure is used by management to assess the amount of cash distributed back to shareholders and reinvested in the business for maintaining production and organic growth. Payout as a percentage of FFO is also referred to as the payout ratio or sustainability ratio. The reconciliation of the measure to the primary financial statement measure can be found below.

Current derivative liability 73,000 6,154
Adjusted working capital 84,472 (96,091)

Acquisitions: Acquisitions is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as the sum of acquisitions, net of cash acquired and acquisitions of securities from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, Vermilion common shares issued as consideration, the estimated value of contingent consideration, the amount of acquiree's outstanding long-term debt assumed, and net acquired working capital deficit or surplus. Management believes that including these components provides a useful measure of the economic investment associated with our acquisition activity and is most directly comparable to cash flows used in investing activities. A reconciliation to the acquisitions line items in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows can be found below.

Operating netback: Operating netback is non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as sales less royalties, operating expense, transportation costs, PRRT, and realized hedging gains and losses, and when presented on a per unit basis is a non-GAAP ratio. Operating netback is most directly comparable to net earnings (loss). Management assesses operating netback as a measure of the profitability and efficiency of our field operations.

Net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations: Management uses net debt (a capital management measure, as defined below) to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations to assess the Company's ability to repay debt. Net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations is a non-GAAP ratio calculated as net debt (capital management measure) divided by fund flows from operations (total of segments measure) from the preceding four quarters.

Capital Management Measure

Net debt: Net debt is a capital management measure in accordance with IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" that is most directly comparable to long-term debt. Net debt is comprised of long-term debt (excluding unrealized foreign exchange on swapped USD borrowings) plus adjusted working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities, excluding current derivatives, current asset retirement obligations and current lease liabilities), and represents Vermilion's net financing obligations after adjusting for the timing of working capital fluctuations.

  As at
($M) Jun 30, 2026 Dec 31, 2025
Long-term debt 1,308,333 1,243,397
Adjusted working capital (1) (84,472) 96,091
Unrealized FX on swapped USD borrowings (2) 204 2,902
Net debt 1,224,065 1,342,390
     
Ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations (3) 1.3 1.4
(1)Adjusted working capital is defined as current assets (excluding current derivatives), less current liabilities (excluding current derivatives, current asset retirement obligations and current lease liabilities).
(2)Vermilion may enter into cross currency interest rate swaps to hedge the foreign exchange movements on USD borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Unrealized FX on swapped USD borrowings relates to the unrealized gains and losses on our cross currency interest swaps. At June 30, 2026, there was $250.2 million of swapped USD borrowings on our revolving credit facility. (December 31, 2025 - $196.7 million).
(3)Subsequent to February 26, 2025, net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations is calculated inclusive of Westbrick Energy's pre-acquisition four quarter trailing fund flows from operations, as if the acquisition of Westbrick Energy occurred at the beginning of the four quarter trailing period, and exclusive of the four quarter trailing fund flows from discontinued operations to reflect the Company’s ability to repay debt on a pro forma basis.

 

Supplementary Financial Measures

Diluted shares outstanding: The sum of shares outstanding at the period end plus outstanding awards under the Long-term Incentive Plan (“LTIP"), based on current estimates of future performance factors and forfeiture rates.

('000s of shares) Q2 2026 Q2 2025
Shares outstanding 152,948 154,019
Potential shares issuable pursuant to the LTIP 4,369 4,737
Diluted shares outstanding 157,317 158,756

 

Production per share growth: Calculated as the change in production determined on a per weighted average shares outstanding basis over a predefined period of time, expressed as a compounded, annualized return percentage. Measuring production growth per share better reflects the interests of our existing shareholders by reflecting the dilutive impact of equity issuances.

 

F&D (finding and development) and FD&A (finding, development and acquisition) costs: used as a measure of capital efficiency, calculated by dividing the applicable capital expenditures for the period, including the change in undiscounted FDC (future development capital), by the change in the reserves, incorporating revisions and production, for the same period.

 

Operating Recycle Ratio: A non-GAAP ratio that is calculated by dividing the Operating Netback, excluding PRRT and realized hedging gains and losses, by the cost of adding reserves (F&D and FD&A cost). Management assesses operating recycle ratio as a measure of the reinvestment of earnings.

Management's Discussion and Analysis


The following is Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), dated July 29, 2026, of Vermilion Energy Inc.’s (“Vermilion”, “we”, “our”, “us” or the “Company”) operating and financial results as at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the corresponding period in the prior year.

 

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, together with the accompanying notes. Additional information relating to Vermilion, including its Annual Information Form, is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca or on Vermilion’s website at www.vermilionenergy.com.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and comparative information have been prepared in Canadian dollars, except where another currency has been indicated, and in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

 

The operating results attributable to the Company's Saskatchewan, United States and block SA-07 in Croatia operations have been classified and presented as discontinued operations, with all other operating results presented as continuing operations. The prior period presented the results from the Saskatchewan and United States assets as discontinued operations and have been recast to include the SA-07 assets in Croatia as discontinued operations. See Note 3 "Discontinued operations" of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 for additional information.

 

This MD&A includes references to certain financial measures which are not specified, defined, or determined under IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB ("IFRS Accounting Standards") and are therefore considered non-GAAP and other specified financial measures. These financial measures are unlikely to be comparable to similar financial measures presented by other issuers. For a full description of these non-GAAP and other specified financial measures and a reconciliation of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures, please refer to “Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures”.

 

Product Type Disclosure

 

Under National Instrument 51-101 "Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities", disclosure of production volumes should include segmentation by product type as defined in the instrument. In this report, references to “crude oil” and “light and medium crude oil” mean “light crude oil and medium crude oil”, “tight oil” and “heavy oil” and references to “natural gas” mean “conventional natural gas”, “shale gas” and “coal bed methane".

 

In addition, in Supplemental Table 4 "Production", Vermilion provides a reconciliation from total production volumes to product type and also a reconciliation of "crude oil and condensate" and "NGLs" to the product types "light crude oil and medium crude oil" and "natural gas liquids".

 

Production volumes reported are based on quantities as measured at the first point of sale.

(2)Fund flows from operations (FFO) and FFO per share are a total of segments measure and supplementary financial measure most directly comparable to net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per share, respectively. The measures do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. FFO is comprised of sales less royalties, transportation, operating, general and administrative (G&A), corporate income tax, PRRT, interest expense, equity based compensation settled in cash, realized gain (loss) on derivatives, plus realized gain (loss) on foreign exchange and realized other income (expense). The measure is used to assess the contribution of each business unit to Vermilion's ability to generate income necessary to pay dividends, repay debt, fund asset retirement obligations and make capital investments. A reconciliation to the primary financial statement measures can be found within the "Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures" section of this MD&A. Fund flows from continuing operations and fund flows from discontinued operations are calculated in the same manner as FFO and are most directly comparable to net earnings (loss) from continuing operations and net earnings (loss) discontinued operations, respectively.
(3)Free cash flow (FCF) is a non-GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to cash flows from operating activities; it does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. FCF is comprised of fund flows from operations less drilling and development costs and exploration and evaluation costs. FCF is used to determine the funding available for investing and financing activities including payment of dividends, repayment of long-term debt, reallocation into existing business units and deployment into new ventures. A reconciliation to primary financial statement measures can be found within the "Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures" section of this MD&A.
(4)Net debt is a capital management measure in accordance with IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and is most directly comparable to long-term debt. Net debt is comprised of long-term debt (excluding unrealized foreign exchange on swapped USD borrowings) plus adjusted working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities, excluding current derivatives, current asset retirement obligations and current lease liabilities), and represents Vermilion's net financing obligations after adjusting for the timing of working capital fluctuations. Net debt excludes lease obligations which are secured by a corresponding right-of-use asset. A reconciliation to the primary financial statement measures can be found within the "Financial Position Review" section of this MD&A.
(5)Capital expenditures is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The measure is calculated as the sum of drilling and development costs and exploration and evaluation costs from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We consider capital expenditures to be a useful measure of our investment in our existing asset base. Capital expenditures are also referred to as E&D capital. A reconciliation to the primary financial statement measures can be found within the "Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures" section of this MD&A.
(6)Acquisitions is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The measure is calculated as the sum of acquisitions, net of cash and acquisitions of securities from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, Vermilion common shares issued as consideration, the estimated value of contingent consideration, the amount of acquiree's outstanding long-term debt assumed, and net acquired working capital deficit or surplus. We believe that including these components provides a useful measure of the economic investment associated with our acquisition activity. A reconciliation to the acquisitions line item in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows can be found in "Supplemental Table 3: Capital Expenditures and Acquisitions" section of this MD&A.

Financial performance review

 

Q2 2026 vs. Q2 2025

 

 

 

 

 

We recorded net earnings of $134.2 million ($0.88/basic share) in Q2 2026 compared to a net loss of $233.5 million ($1.51/basic share) in Q2 2025. The improvement was primarily attributable to a lower net loss from discontinued operations, reflecting the prior year impairment recognized upon the transfer of the Saskatchewan and United States disposal groups to assets held for sale. Results also benefited from improved earnings from continuing operations, reflecting higher production and a more efficient cost structure resulting from asset high-grading efforts. In addition, favourable changes in our non-cash mark-to-market derivative position primarily related to European natural gas and crude oil contracts, reflected a commodity price decline from elevated levels at March 31, 2026. These gains were partially offset by deferred tax expense on unrealized derivative gains and unrealized foreign exchange losses on US dollar denominated debt resulting from the strengthening US dollar.

 

Vermilion Energy Inc.  ■  Page 17  ■  2026 Second Quarter Report

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cash flows from operating activities increased to $170.8 million in Q2 2026 from $140.5 million in Q2 2025, while fund flows from operations decreased to $231.2 million from $259.7 million over the same period. The continuing operations asset base generated stronger cash flows year-over-year, driven by higher commodity prices, increased production volumes from Deep Basin and Montney development and acquisition activity, and lower unit operating costs. These gains more than offset the loss of contribution from assets disposed of since the prior-year period. Despite these improvements, fund flows from operations were negatively impacted by a before-tax $105.2 million year-over-year swing in realized derivatives, reflecting a $57.5 million realized loss in Q2 2026 compared to a $47.7 million realized gain in Q2 2025. Variances between cash flows from operating activities and fund flows from operations are primarily due to the timing of non-cash working capital movements.

 

Vermilion Energy Inc.  ■  Page 18  ■  2026 Second Quarter Report

 

 

 

2026 YTD vs. 2025 YTD

 

 

 

 

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded a net loss of $11.3 million compared to $218.5 million in the comparable period in 2025. The improvement was primarily attributable to the absence of losses on assets disposed of in the second half of 2025, increased tax asset valuations in Canada and Ireland resulting from changes in forward commodity prices, and stronger earnings from continuing operations. Operating results benefited from new production in the Deep Basin and Montney and a more efficient cost structure resulting from our asset high-grading efforts. Results also benefitted from lower depletion and depreciation expense following impairment charges recognized in 2025. These gains were partially offset by a loss of $111.4 million on derivative contracts compared to a gain of $45.8 million in the prior year period.

 

 

Vermilion Energy Inc.  ■  Page 19  ■  2026 Second Quarter Report

 

 

 

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, cash flows from operating activities decreased by $22.7 million to $398.1 million and fund flows from operations decreased by $52.2 million to $463.5 million. The decrease in fund flows from operations was primarily attributable to a before-tax $132.2 million year-over-year swing in realized derivatives, as a $73.4 million loss on derivative contracts was realized in 2026 compared to a $58.8 million gain in the prior year period. Partially offsetting this impact were stronger fund flows from continuing operations, reflecting increased production volumes from the Deep Basin acquisition and ongoing organic production growth, as well as a more efficient cost structure resulting from our asset high-grading efforts. These improvements more than offset the loss of contribution from assets disposed of in 2025, demonstrating the strength of Vermilion's core business. While higher production volumes resulted in increased royalties, transportation and operating expenses, underlying operating margins benefited from lower unit costs and improved scale. Variances between cash flows from operating activities and fund flows from operations are primarily due to the timing of non-cash working capital movements.

 

Production review

Q2 2026 vs. Q2 2025

Consolidated average production decreased 8% to 125,789 boe/d in Q2 2026 compared to Q2 2025 production of 136,002 boe/d primarily due to the United States and Saskatchewan dispositions, cyclone-related downtime in Australia and natural well decline across the International business units. These decreases were partially offset by increased production from new wells brought online in the Deep Basin and Montney.

 

YTD 2026 vs. YTD 2025

Consolidated average production increased 5% to 125,704 boe/d in the six months ended June 30, 2026 from 119,649 boe/d in the comparable period of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to a full six months of production from the Deep Basin acquisition in 2026 compared to four months in 2025, as well as strong drilling results in the Deep Basin and Montney. These gains more than offset the impact of the United States and Saskatchewan dispositions and cyclone-related downtime in Australia.

 

Activity review

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, capital expenditures were $109.6 million.

 

In Canada, we invested capital expenditures of $73.4 million in our liquids-rich gas assets:
In the Deep Basin, we drilled six (6.0 net), completed six (5.5 net), and brought on production five (4.3 net) liquids-rich conventional natural gas wells.
In the Montney, we drilled one (1.0 net) and completed four (4.0 net) liquids-rich shale gas wells.

 

Internationally, capital expenditures were $36.2 million:
In Germany, we invested $7.1 million, primarily on facilities activities, including progressing infrastructure to facilitate production from the Wisselshorst well, which was brought online subsequent to the quarter.
In the Netherlands, $6.8 million was invested primarily on workovers and facilities activities.
In France, we invested $9.6 million, primarily on subsurface maintenance and facilities activities.
In Australia, $8.8 million was invested primarily on facilities activities, as we resumed operations in Q2 2026 following cyclone-related downtime in the prior quarter.
In Ireland, $3.6 million was invested on facilities activities.

 

Financial sustainability review

Free cash flow

Free cash flow increased by $1.2 million to $219.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributed to lower capital expenditures and stronger underlying operating performance resulting from the Deep Basin acquisition and organic production growth, which more than offset the impacts of dispositions completed in 2025. These gains were achieved despite a before-tax $132.2 million year-over-year deterioration in realized derivative settlements.

 

Long-term debt and net debt

As at June 30, 2026, long-term debt increased to $1.3 billion (December 31, 2025 - $1.2 billion) primarily due to draws on our revolving credit facility, timing of payments and the foreign exchange impact of the US dollar strengthening 4% against the Canadian dollar on our US denominated senior unsecured notes. The increase was partially offset by long-term debt repayments from excess cash flows generated during the quarter.

Vermilion Energy Inc.  ■  Page 20  ■  2026 Second Quarter Report

 

 

As at June 30, 2026, net debt totaled $1.2 billion, a decrease of $118.3 million from December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to free cash flow generation and the inclusion of expected proceeds from the dispositions of assets held for sale.
The ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations(1) decreased to 1.3 as at June 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - 1.4) due to lower net debt, partially offset by slightly lower four quarter trailing funds from continuing operations impacted by realized derivative settlements.

 

(1)Net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations is a supplementary financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. It is calculated as net debt (capital measure) over the FFO from the preceding four quarters (total of segments measure). The measure is used to assess our ability to repay debt. Subsequent to February 26, 2025, net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations is calculated inclusive of Westbrick Energy's pre-acquisition four quarter trailing fund flows from operations, as if the acquisition of Westbrick Energy occurred at the beginning of the four quarter trailing period, and exclusive of the four quarter trailing fund flows from discontinued operations to reflect the Company’s ability to repay debt on a pro forma basis.

As an internationally diversified producer, we are exposed to a range of commodity prices. In Canada, our crude oil is sold at benchmarks linked to WTI (including the Edmonton Sweet index and the Canadian C5+ index) and our natural gas is sold at benchmarks linked to the AECO index in Canada and a combination of Chicago Daily and Henry Hub ("HH") indices in the United States. In our International core region, our crude oil is sold with reference to Dated Brent and our natural gas is sold with reference to TTF, NBP, THE, or indices highly correlated to TTF.

In Canadian dollar terms, year-over-year, prices for European natural gas at NBP and TTF increased by 34% and 32% respectively on a month ahead basis. Prices over the quarter were elevated following the disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Following increased conflict in the Middle East, a full-closure of flows from Qatar LNG and tighter supply & demand balances across both Asia and Europe, global gas benchmarks showed strong pricing across Q2 2026.
Year-over-year, natural gas prices in Canadian dollar terms at NYMEX HH decreased by 18% and AECO 7A decreased by 27%. Following a strong end to Winter 2026-2027 with Winter Storm Fern spiking demand, North American gas prices faced downward pressure on higher-than-normal inventories, rebounding production, strong injections and a modest start to Summer demand in the quarter.
During Q2 2026, average European natural gas prices represented a premium of $21/mcf to AECO 7A. Approximately 18% of Vermilion's natural gas production benefited from this premium European pricing (Q2 2025 - 21%).

 

 

 

 

 

Crude oil prices increased in Q2 2026 relative to Q2 2025 primarily due to heightened uncertainty in the Middle East, which tightened global crude oil balances. In response to concerns regarding potential supply disruptions and reduced crude availability, average benchmark prices increased significantly, with WTI rising 46% and Dated Brent increasing 54% compared to Q2 2025. Dated Brent strengthened relative to WTI as physical crude markets reflected greater concerns regarding Middle East supply availability.
In Canadian dollar terms, year-over-year, the Edmonton Sweet differential tightened by $7.43/bbl to a premium of $3.49/bbl relative to WTI. These strengthening differentials in the Canadian market originated as a knock-on effect from the Strait of Hormuz closure. The removal of Gulf crude and condensate exports sent US West Coast and Asian refiners scrambling for replacement barrels.
Approximately 38% of Vermilion’s Q2 2026 crude oil and condensate production was priced at the Dated Brent index, which averaged a premium to WTI of US$11.73/bbl. The remainder of our crude oil and condensate production was priced at the Canadian C5+, Edmonton Sweet and WTI indices.

Fund flows from continuing operations increased 50% to $144.9 million in Q2 2026 and 79% to $298.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. On a per boe basis, fund flows increased to $15.99/boe and $16.57/boe, respectively, reflecting higher production volumes, stronger realized commodity prices and a lower cost structure resulting from increased scale and portfolio high-grading efforts.

 

Production in Canada averaged 99,605 boe/d, consistent with the prior quarter, reflecting record production from the Mica Montney asset. Production from continuing operations increased 10% compared to Q2 2025, driven by new wells brought online in both the Deep Basin and Mica Montney.

In Q2 2026, the Company drilled six (6.0 net), completed six (5.5 net), and brought on production five (4.3 net) liquids-rich gas wells in the Deep Basin. Activity levels were lower as planned compared to the prior quarter due to spring break-up, and the Company will maintain a three-rig drilling program in the Deep Basin over the balance of the year. In the Montney, Vermilion drilled one (1.0 net) and completed four (4.0 net) liquids-rich gas wells.

The royalty rate as a percentage of sales in Canada increased to 9.7% from 7.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to higher production from assets subject to higher royalty rates and the impact of sliding-scale royalty structures. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the royalty rate as a percentage of sales decreased to 8.7% from 9.2% for the same period in the prior year. This decrease is due to a greater weighting of production subject to lower royalty rates combined with royalty credits in the current year.

On a dollar basis, royalties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 increased due to higher production, including higher production in the Mica region subject to higher royalty rates and higher realized commodity prices.

Transportation expense on continuing operations in Canada increased 5% to $2.92 per boe for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due to a higher weighting of production from Mica Montney in the quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, transportation expense decreased 7% to $2.67 per boe, reflecting improved utilization of contracted natural gas transportation capacity resulting from higher Deep Basin production as well as lower crude oil trucking costs. These improvements demonstrate the benefits of increased scale with the Company's Canadian operations.

On a dollar basis, transportation expense on continuing operations in Canada increased 15% and 23% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the prior year periods due to higher production.

Fund flows from continuing operations increased 38% to $173.3 million in Q2 2026 and remained relatively consistent at $294.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. On a per boe basis, fund flows increased 59% and 8% for the three and six month periods, respectively, reflecting significantly stronger realized European natural gas and crude oil prices, partially offset by lower production volumes and higher royalty and operating costs.

Production from Vermilion's International operations averaged 26,182 boe/d in Q2 2026, an increase of 1% from the prior quarter as higher production in Australia following the resumption of operations at Wandoo more than offset natural declines across certain European business units. Production was lower than the prior-year period primarily due to cyclone-related downtime in Australia and natural declines.

Activity in Europe focused on the execution of workover programs and maintenance activities, in addition to preparing for drilling in the Netherlands in the second half of this year. In Australia, production operations at Wandoo safely resumed during the second quarter following necessary repair work, and are expected to continue to ramp up over the balance of the year.

International sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased 42% to $129.21 per boe compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to higher crude oil and stronger European gas pricing. On a dollar basis, sales increased by 22% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 due to higher realized pricing, partially offset by lower sales volumes in Australia due to cyclone-related downtime and lower sales volumes in Central and Eastern Europe.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, International sales increased 10% to $114.50 per boe compared to the prior year comparable period, primarily due to higher crude oil pricing, partially offset by slightly lower gas pricing. On a dollar basis, sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 remained relatively flat due to higher realized pricing, offset by lower sales volumes in Australia and Central and Eastern Europe.

Royalties in our International core region are primarily incurred in France, the Netherlands, Germany and Croatia, where royalties, depending on jurisdiction, include charges based on a percentage of sales and fixed per boe charges. Our production in Australia and Ireland is not subject to royalties.

The International royalty rate increased to 6.3% of sales in Q2 2026 from 5.6% in Q2 2025 and increased to 5.4% from 4.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase primarily reflects higher crude oil prices in France, which are subject to sliding-scale royalty structures, together with a greater contribution from production in Germany. On a dollar basis, royalty expense increased primarily due to stronger realized commodity prices.

International (11,808) (5.37) (10,713) (4.22) (23,415) (5.05) (22,659) (4.43)

Transportation expense increased to $5.37 per boe for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $4.22 per boe in the prior year period, primarily due to one-time transportation credits recognized in Germany during Q2 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, transportation expense increased to $5.05 per boe from $4.43 per boe, reflecting the timing of crude oil liftings and vessel costs in France.

On a dollar basis, transportation expense increased for both the three and six month periods primarily due to the absence of the prior-year credits in Germany and the timing of crude oil liftings and vessel costs in France. Production in Australia, the Netherlands and Central and Eastern Europe is not subject to transportation expense.

Operating expenses increased to $25.74 per boe and $30.09 per boe for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, primarily due to the timing of liftings and cyclone-related maintenance expenses in Australia, as well as increased maintenance activity in the Netherlands. These factors were partially offset by lower maintenance activity in Ireland and the timing of sales volumes in France.

 

On a dollar basis, operating expenses decreased 7% during the three months ended June 30, 2026 despite higher maintenance activity in Australia and the Netherlands, primarily reflecting lower production-related expenditures in Ireland and the impact of lower production volumes. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, operating expenses increased 6%, primarily reflecting cyclone-related maintenance costs in Australia and increased maintenance activity in the Netherlands.

Consolidated Financial Performance Review

Fluctuations in fund flows from operations may occur as a result of changes in production levels, commodity prices, and costs to produce petroleum and natural gas. In addition, fund flows from operations may be affected by the timing of crude oil shipments in Australia and France. When crude oil inventory is built up, the related operating expense, royalties, and depletion expense are deferred and carried as inventory on the consolidated balance sheet. When the crude oil inventory is subsequently drawn down, the related expenses are recognized within profit or loss.

General and administration

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, total general and administration expense decreased compared to the same periods in the prior year due to transaction costs related to the 2025 acquisition and disposition activity combined with the impact of the 2025 Corporate restructuring activities.

 

Equity based compensation

Equity based compensation included within funds flow from operations primarily relates to the settlement of withholding taxes on long-term

incentives granted to directors, officers, and employees under security-based arrangements via cash, which were previously settled through the issuance and sale of shares from Treasury. Equity based compensation settled in cash increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to the higher share price in the current year on LTIP awards settled in cash combined with more LTIP awards vesting.

 

PRRT and corporate income taxes

PRRT for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased compared to the same periods in the prior year due to recoveries of prior year PRRT tax expense from the application of 2026 PRRT tax losses.
Corporate income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2026 remained relatively flat compared to the prior year comparable period. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, corporate income taxes decreased compared to the same period in the prior year mainly due to lower net operating income in the International segments and lower Corporate segment taxes due to reduced Pillar 2 global minimum tax estimates.

 

Interest expense

Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased due to lower debt levels compared to the same period in 2025 driven by the repayment of the $450 million term loan, which was drawn and subsequently repaid in 2025, combined with a lower average revolving credit facility balance in 2026. In addition, buybacks of the 2030 and 2033 senior unsecured notes has reduced interest expense.

Realized gain or loss on derivatives

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded realized losses on our crude oil and European natural gas hedges due to higher commodity pricing compared to the strike prices, partially offset by realized gains on our North American natural gas hedges due to lower commodity pricing compared to the strike prices.
A listing of derivative positions as at June 30, 2026 is included in “Supplemental Table 2” of this MD&A.

 

Realized other income or expense

Realized other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily relates to insurance claims receivable in Australia and the US$3.5 million contingent payment recognized on the US disposition as a result of requirements met on June 30, 2026. In the comparative year, realized other expenses primarily related to an estimated provision recognized to satisfy work commitments.

 

Net earnings (loss)

Fluctuations in net earnings (loss) from period-to-period are caused by changes in both cash and non-cash based income and charges. Cash based items are reflected in fund flows from operations. Non-cash items include: equity based compensation expense, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, accretion, depletion and depreciation expense, and deferred taxes. In addition, non-cash items may also include gains or losses resulting from acquisition or disposition activity or charges resulting from impairment or impairment reversals.

 

Equity based compensation

Equity based compensation expense included within net earnings (loss) and excluded from funds flow from operations relates to non-cash compensation expense attributable to long-term incentives granted to directors, officers, and employees under security-based arrangements. Equity based compensation expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 versus the prior year primarily due to the higher recovery recorded in the prior year period driven by the cash settlement of previously share-based settled expenses at a higher value of LTIP in the prior year, and the lower value of LTIP awards outstanding in the current year.

 

Unrealized gain or loss on derivative instruments

Unrealized gain or loss on derivative instruments arises as a result of changes in forecasts for future prices and rates. As Vermilion uses derivative instruments to manage the commodity price exposure of our future crude oil and natural gas production, we will normally recognize unrealized gains on derivative instruments when future commodity price forecasts decline and vice-versa. As derivative instruments are settled, the unrealized gain or loss previously recognized is reversed, and the settlement results in a realized gain or loss on derivative instruments.

 

Cross currency interest rate swaps and foreign exchange swaps may be entered into to manage foreign exchange and interest rate exposures on USD denominated debt. Unrealized gains and losses on these instruments are partially offset by the unrealized foreign exchange losses and gains on the underlying debt.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized a net unrealized gain on derivative instruments of $174.3 million. This primarily consists of unrealized gains of $106.8 million on our European natural gas commodity derivative instruments, $98.5 million on our crude oil and liquids commodity derivative instruments, partially offset by unrealized losses of $18.6 million on our equity swaps and $12.2 million on our North America gas commodity derivative instruments.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized a net unrealized loss on derivative instruments of $111.4 million. This primarily consists of unrealized losses of $111.7 million on our European natural gas commodity derivative instruments, $47.7 million on our crude oil and liquids commodity derivative instruments, partially offset by unrealized gains of $29.3 million on our North America gas commodity derivative instruments, $11.5 million on our equity swaps and $8.7 million on our Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps.

 

Unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses

As a result of Vermilion’s international operations, Vermilion has monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. These monetary assets and liabilities include cash, receivables, payables, long-term debt, derivative instruments and intercompany loans. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses result from translating these monetary assets and liabilities from their underlying currency to the Canadian dollar.

 

Vermilion Energy Inc.  ■  Page 32  ■  2026 Second Quarter Report

 

 

 

In 2026, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses primarily resulted from:

The translation of Euro and US dollar denominated intercompany loans to and from our international subsidiaries to Vermilion Energy Inc. An appreciation in the Euro and/or the US dollar against the Canadian dollar will result in an unrealized foreign exchange loss (and vice-versa). Under IFRS Accounting Standards, the offsetting foreign exchange loss or gain is recorded as a currency translation adjustment within other comprehensive income. As a result, consolidated comprehensive income reflects the offsetting of these translation adjustments while net earnings (loss) reflects only the parent company's side of the translation.
The translation of our USD denominated 2030 senior unsecured notes and USD denominated 2033 senior unsecured notes.
The translation of USD borrowings on our revolving credit facility. The unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses on these borrowings are offset by unrealized derivative gains or losses on associated USD-to-CAD cross currency interest rate swaps.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized a net unrealized foreign exchange loss of $19.3 million, primarily driven by the effects of the US dollar strengthening 1.9% against the Canadian dollar on our US denominated debt combined with the effects of the Euro strengthening 0.9% against the Canadian dollar on our Euro denominated intercompany loans, partially offset by the impact on our US dollar denominated intercompany loans.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized a net unrealized foreign exchange loss of $34.5 million, primarily driven by the effects of the US dollar strengthening 3.7% against the Canadian dollar on our US denominated debt, combined with the effects of the Euro strengthening 0.8% against the Canadian dollar on our Euro denominated intercompany loans, partially offset by the impact on our US dollar denominated intercompany loans.

 

Accretion

Accretion expense is recognized to update the present value of asset retirement obligations. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, accretion expense decreased primarily due to lower asset retirement obligations driven by dispositions in the prior year, partially offset by the impact of the Euro and Australian dollar strengthening against the Canadian dollar.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, accretion expense increased primarily due to the impact of the Euro and Australian dollar strengthening against the Canadian dollar partially offset by lower asset retirement obligation driven by dispositions in the prior year.

 

Depletion and depreciation

Depletion and depreciation expense is recognized to allocate the cost of capital assets over the useful life of the respective assets. Depletion and depreciation expense per unit of production is determined for each depletion unit (which are groups of assets within a specific production area that have similar economic lives) by dividing the sum of the net book value of capital assets and future development costs by total proved plus probable reserves.

 

Fluctuations in depletion and depreciation expense are primarily the result of changes in produced crude oil and natural gas volumes, and changes in depletion and depreciation per unit. Fluctuations in depletion and depreciation per unit are the result of changes in reserves, depletable base (net book value of capital assets and future development costs), and relative production mix.

 

Depletion and depreciation on a per boe basis for the three months ended June 30, 2026 of $14.72 decreased from $15.07 in the same period of the prior year primarily due to decreases in the depletable base on impairment taken at the end of 2025 in Australia, Ireland and France.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, depletion and depreciation of $14.77 per boe decreased from $16.82 in the same period of the prior year primarily due to decreases in the depletable base on impairment taken at the end of 2025 in Australia, Ireland and France and lower per boe depletion costs on the Westbrick assets acquired for a full six months of production compared to four months in the prior year.

 

Deferred tax

Deferred tax assets arise when the tax basis of an asset exceeds its accounting basis (known as a deductible temporary difference). Conversely, deferred tax liabilities arise when the tax basis of an asset is less than its accounting basis (known as a taxable temporary difference). Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the enacted or substantively enacted tax rate that is expected to apply when the asset is realized, or the liability is settled.

 

As such, fluctuations in deferred tax expenses and recoveries primarily arise as a result of: changes in the accounting basis of an asset or liability without a corresponding tax basis change (e.g. when derivative assets and liabilities are marked-to-market or when accounting depletion differs from tax depletion), changes in available tax losses (e.g. if they are utilized to offset taxable income), changes in estimated future taxable profits resulting in a derecognition or recognition of deferred tax assets, and changes in enacted or substantively enacted tax rates.

 

The Company recorded deferred tax expense of $68.8 million on continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to deferred tax expense of $41.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The deferred tax expense in the current quarter was mainly driven by unrealized derivative gains and the derecognition of deferred tax assets in Ireland and Canada.

 

Vermilion Energy Inc.  ■  Page 33  ■  2026 Second Quarter Report

 

 

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a deferred tax recovery of $44.0 million on continuing operations compared to deferred tax expense of $28.5 million for the comparable prior year period. The deferred tax recovery in the current year was driven by the recognition of deferred tax assets in Ireland and Canada and unrealized derivative losses.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded deferred tax recoveries of $0.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, on discontinued operations compared to deferred tax recoveries of $62.4 million and $58.5 million for the same periods in the prior year. The deferred tax recovery in the prior periods was driven by the impairment recorded in Canada attributable to discontinued operations.

 

 

 

 

Financial Position Review

Balance sheet strategy

We regularly review whether our forecast of fund flows from operations is sufficient to finance planned capital expenditures, dividends, share buy-backs, and abandonment and reclamation expenditures. To the extent that fund flows from operations forecasts are not expected to be sufficient to fulfill such expenditures, we will evaluate our ability to finance any shortfall by reducing some or all categories of expenditures, with issuances of equity, and/or with debt (including borrowing using the unutilized capacity of our existing revolving credit facility). We have a long-term goal of maintaining a ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations of approximately 1.0.

 

As at June 30, 2026, we have a ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations of 1.3.

 

Net debt

Net debt is reconciled to long-term debt, as follows: 

  As at
($M) Jun 30, 2026 Dec 31, 2025
Long-term debt 1,308,333 1,243,397
Adjusted working capital (1) (84,472) 96,091
Unrealized FX on swapped USD borrowings (2) 204 2,902
Net debt 1,224,065 1,342,390
     
Ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations (3) 1.3 1.4
(1)Adjusted working capital is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not standardized under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers. It is defined as current assets less current liabilities, excluding current derivatives, current asset retirement obligations and current lease liabilities. The measure is used to calculate net debt, a capital measure disclosed above. Reconciliation to the primary financial statement measures can be found in the “Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures” section of this document.
(2)Vermilion may enter into cross currency interest rate swaps to hedge the foreign exchange movements on USD borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Unrealized FX on swapped USD borrowings relates to the unrealized gains and losses on our cross currency interest swaps. At June 30, 2026, there was $250.2 million of swapped USD borrowings on our revolving credit facility. (December 31, 2025 - $196.7 million).
(3)Subsequent to February 26, 2025, net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations is calculated inclusive of Westbrick Energy's pre-acquisition four quarter trailing fund flows from operations, as if the acquisition of Westbrick Energy occurred at the beginning of the four quarter trailing period, and exclusive of the four quarter trailing fund flows from discontinued operations to reflect the Company’s ability to repay debt on a pro forma basis.

As at June 30, 2026, net debt decreased to $1.22 billion (December 31, 2025 - $1.34 billion) primarily due to strong cash flow generation and the inclusion of expected proceeds from the disposition of assets held for sale. The decrease was partially offset by the US dollar strengthening against the Canadian dollar on our US dollar denominated notes.

 

The ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations decreased to 1.3 as at June 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - 1.4), primarily due to lower net debt driven by strong free cash flow generation and expected proceeds from assets held for sale.

Long-term debt

The balances recognized on our balance sheet are as follows:

  As at
  Jun 30, 2026 Dec 31, 2025
Revolving credit facility 308,670 222,724
2030 senior unsecured notes 478,632 504,962
2033 senior unsecured notes 521,031 515,711
Long-term debt 1,308,333 1,243,397

 

Revolving credit facility

As at June 30, 2026, Vermilion had in place a bank revolving credit facility maturing May 30, 2030 with terms and outstanding positions as follows:

  As at
($M) Jun 30, 2026 Dec 31, 2025
Total facility amount 1,350,000 1,350,000
Amount drawn (308,670) (222,724)
Letters of credit outstanding (44,867) (49,263)
Unutilized capacity 996,463 1,078,013

The facility is secured by various fixed and floating charges against the subsidiaries of Vermilion. As at June 30, 2026, $308.7 million of the revolving credit facility was drawn (March 31, 2026 - $222.7 million).

 

On April 24, 2026, the maturity date of the revolving credit facility was extended to May 30, 2030 (previously May 25, 2029) with no other changes to the existing terms and conditions.

 

As at June 30, 2026, the revolving credit facility was subject to the following financial covenants:

    As at
Financial covenant Limit Jun 30, 2026 Dec 31, 2025
Consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA Less than 4.0 1.23 1.14
Consolidated total senior debt to consolidated EBITDA Less than 3.5 0.29 0.21
Consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense Greater than 2.5 9.61 8.44

Our financial covenants include financial measures defined within our revolving credit facility agreement that are not defined under IFRS Accounting Standards. These financial measures are defined by our revolving credit facility agreement as follows:

Consolidated total debt: Includes all amounts classified as “Long-term debt”, “Current portion of long-term debt”, and “Lease obligations” (including the current portion included within "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" but excluding operating leases as defined under IAS 17) on our consolidated balance sheet.
Consolidated total senior debt: Consolidated total debt excluding unsecured and subordinated debt.
Consolidated EBITDA: Consolidated net earnings (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, accretion and certain other non-cash items, adjusted for the impact of the acquisition of a material subsidiary.
Total interest expense: Includes all amounts classified as "Interest expense", but excludes interest on operating leases as defined under IAS 17.

 

As at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Vermilion was in compliance with the above covenants.

 

2030 senior unsecured notes

On April 26, 2022, Vermilion closed a private offering of US $400.0 million of senior unsecured notes, priced at 99.241% of par. The notes bear interest at a rate of 6.875% per annum, to be paid semi-annually on May 1 and November 1. The notes mature on May 1, 2030. As direct senior unsecured obligations of Vermilion, the notes rank equally with existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company.

 

The senior unsecured notes were recognized at amortized cost and include the transaction costs directly related to the issuance.

Asset Retirement Obligations


The present value of the obligation is calculated using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate, calculated using a credit spread added to risk-free rates based on long-term, risk-free government bonds. Vermilion's credit spread is determined using the Company's expected cost of borrowing at the end of the reporting period.

 

As at June 30, 2026, asset retirement obligations were $1.1 billion compared to $1.0 billion as at December 31, 2025. The increase in asset retirement obligations is primarily attributable to changes in rates. The credit spread decreased to 3.4% at June 30, 2026 compared to 4.4% at December 31, 2025, primarily due to a lower expected cost of borrowing, partially offset by higher bond yields.

 

The risk-free rates and credit spread used as inputs to discount the obligations were as follows:

  Jun 30, 2026 Dec 31, 2025 Change
Credit spread added to below noted risk-free rates 3.4 % 4.4 % (1.0) %
Country specific risk-free rate      
Canada 3.8 % 3.9 % (0.1) %
France 4.5 % 4.5 %  - %
Netherlands 3.6 % 3.2 % 0.4 %
Germany 3.4 % 3.4 %  - %
Ireland 3.2 % 3.2 %  - %
Australia 4.9 % 4.9 %  - %
Central and Eastern Europe 4.1 % 4.8 % (0.7) %

Current cost estimates are inflated to the estimated time of abandonment using inflation rates of between 1.4% and 3.5% (as at December 31, 2025 - between 1.4% and 3.5%).

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Vermilion is exposed to various market and operational risks. For a discussion of these risks, please see Vermilion's MD&A and Annual Information Form, each for the year ended December 31, 2025 available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca or on Vermilion’s website at www.vermilionenergy.com.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, gains and losses, and disclosures of any possible contingencies. These estimates and assumptions are developed based on the best available information which management believed to be reasonable at the time such estimates and assumptions were made. As such, these assumptions are uncertain at the time estimates are made and could change, resulting in a material impact on Vermilion’s consolidated financial statements. Estimates are reviewed by management on an ongoing basis and as a result may change from period to period due to the availability of new information or changes in circumstances. Additionally, as a result of the unique circumstances of each jurisdiction that Vermilion operates in, the critical accounting estimates may affect one or more jurisdictions. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates used in applying accounting policies for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Further information, including a discussion of critical accounting estimates, can be found in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and annual MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2025, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca or on Vermilion’s website at www.vermilionenergy.com.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not entered into any guarantee or off balance sheet arrangements that would materially impact our financial position or results of operations.

 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in Vermilion’s internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR") during the period covered by this MD&A that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure

 

On January 1, 2026, Vermilion adopted the amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") that contained guidance related to settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system and assessing contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets. There was no impact to Vermilion's financial statements.

 

Vermilion did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements as at June 30, 2026 that would have a material impact on these Condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

Regulatory Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

Issuance of IFRS Sustainability Standards - IFRS S1 "General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information" and IFRS S2 "Climate-related Disclosures" and European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)

In June 2023, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) issued its inaugural standards - IFRS S1 and IFRS S2, and continues to advance its sustainability disclosure agenda, including work related to nature-related disclosure. In March 2026, the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive's Omnibus 1 entered into force.

 

The Canadian Sustainability Standards Board has issued a Canada-specific version of IFRS S1 and S2 as Canadian Sustainability Disclosure Standards 1 and 2. While Canadian securities regulators have not mandated these standards, they have referenced them as a useful voluntary disclosure framework for sustainability and climate-related disclosure, and noted that securities legislation already requires issuers to disclose material climate-related risks. Australia has adopted AASB S2 climate-related disclosures based on IFRS S2 as part of its mandatory climate-related reporting framework. Mandatory reporting for Vermilion commenced in 2025, with the first reporting in 2026. Under the revised CSRD requirements, Vermilion may be required to report as a non-EU parent if it meets the applicable scope thresholds. While the legislative amendments have entered into force, certain implementation requirements, including reporting standards applicable to non-EU companies, remain under development. Based on currently available guidance, Vermilion's reporting date is currently projected as 2029 for the 2028 fiscal year. Vermilion is continuing to review the impact of the standards on its financial reporting.

 

IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements issued”

In April 2024, the IASB issued the new accounting standard, IFRS 18 'Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements'. IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements' and provides a defined structure to the statement of net earnings (loss) and comprehensive income and related disclosure requirements. Key changes include a new operating profit subtotal and require income and expenses to be classified into operating, investing, and financing categories, based on the entity’s main business activities. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 and is required to be adopted retrospectively. Preparations for the standard's adoption are underway, as Vermilion is currently reviewing income and expense classifications, management-defined performance measures, and contractual arrangements to assess the impact the standard will have on the consolidated financial statements. Vermilion has implemented adjustments to its accounting system and draft financial statements are being prepared, including retrospective disclosures for the comparative period.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our officers have established and maintained disclosure controls and procedures and evaluated the effectiveness of these controls in conjunction with our filings. As of June 30, 2026, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded and certified that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(1) Under National Instrument 51-101 "Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities", disclosure of production volumes should include segmentation by product type as defined in the instrument. This table provides a reconciliation from "crude oil and condensate", "NGLs" and "natural gas" to the product types. In this report, references to "crude oil" and "light and medium crude oil" mean "light crude oil and medium crude oil" and references to "natural gas" mean "conventional natural gas". Production volumes reported are based on quantities as measured at the first point of sale.

Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures

 

This MD&A includes references to certain financial measures which do not have standardized meanings and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These financial measures include fund flows from operations, a total of segments measure of profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 8 “Operating Segments” (please see Segmented Information in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements) and net debt, a capital management measure in accordance with IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” (please see Capital Disclosures in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements).

 

In addition, this MD&A includes financial measures which are not specified, defined, or determined under IFRS Accounting Standards and are therefore considered non-GAAP financial measures and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These non-GAAP financial measures include:

 

Total of Segments Measure

Fund flows from operations (FFO): Most directly comparable to net earnings (loss), FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and total of segments measure comprised of sales less royalties, transportation, operating, G&A, corporate income tax, PRRT, interest expense, equity based compensation settled in cash, realized gain (loss) on derivatives, realized foreign exchange gain (loss), and realized other income (expense). The measure is used by management to assess the contribution of each business unit to Vermilion's ability to generate income necessary to pay dividends, repay debt, fund asset retirement obligations and make capital investments. Reconciliation to the most directly comparable primary financial statement measures can be found below. Fund flows from continuing operations and fund flows from discontinued operations are calculated in the same manner as FFO and are most directly comparable to net earnings (loss) from continuing operations and net earnings (loss) discontinued operations, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Non-GAAP Ratios

Fund flows from operations per basic and diluted share: FFO per share and diluted share are non-GAAP ratios. Management assesses fund flows from operations on a per share basis as we believe this provides a measure of our operating performance after taking into account the issuance and potential future issuance of Vermilion common shares. Fund flows from operations per basic share is calculated by dividing fund flows from operations (total of segments measure) by the basic weighted average shares outstanding as defined under IFRS Accounting Standards. Fund flows from operations per diluted share is calculated by dividing fund flows from operations by the sum of basic weighted average shares outstanding and incremental shares issuable under the equity based compensation plans as determined using the treasury stock method. Fund flows from continuing operations per basic and diluted share and fund flows from discontinued operations per basic and diluted share are calculated in the same manner as FFO per basic and diluted share.

Fund flows from operations per boe: Management uses fund flows from operations per boe to assess the profitability of our business units and Vermilion as a whole. Fund flows from operations per boe is calculated by dividing fund flows from operations (total of segments measure) by boe production. Fund flows from continuing operations per boe and fund flows from discontinued operations per boe are calculated in the same manner as FFO per boe.

Free cash flow (FCF): Most directly comparable to cash flows from operating activities, FCF is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as fund flows from operations less drilling and development costs and exploration and evaluation costs. FCF is used by management to determine the funding available for investing and financing activities including payment of dividends, repayment of long-term debt, reallocation into existing business units and deployment into new ventures. Reconciliation to the primary financial statement measures can be found in the following table.

Capital expenditures: Most directly comparable to cash flows used in investing activities, capital expenditures is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as the sum of drilling and development costs and exploration and evaluation costs as derived from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We consider capital expenditures to be a useful measure of our investment in our existing asset base. Capital expenditures are also referred to as E&D capital. Reconciliation to the primary financial statement measures can be found below.

Capital expenditures 109,576 115,489 244,156 297,608

Payout and payout % of FFO: Payout and payout % of FFO are, respectively, a non-GAAP financial measure and non-GAAP ratio. Payout is most directly comparable to dividends declared. Payout is comprised of dividends declared plus drilling and development costs, exploration and evaluation costs, and asset retirement obligations settled, and payout % of FFO is calculated as payout divided by FFO. The measure is used by management to assess the amount of cash distributed back to shareholders and reinvested in the business for maintaining production and organic growth. Payout as a percentage of FFO is also referred to as the payout ratio or sustainability ratio. The reconciliation of the measure to the primary financial statement measure can be found below.

    % of fund flows from operations 62 % 55 % 67 % 69 %

Adjusted working capital (deficit): Adjusted working capital (deficit) is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as current assets less current liabilities, excluding current derivatives, current asset retirement obligations and current lease liabilities. The measure is used by management to calculate net debt, a capital management measure disclosed below.

  As at
($M) Jun 30, 2026 Dec 31, 2025
Current assets 572,095 467,286
Current liabilities (572,565) (554,547)
Current derivative asset (52,795) (78,694)

Current lease liability 7,570 9,206
Current derivative liability 73,000 6,154
Adjusted working capital 84,472 (96,091)

Acquisitions: Acquisitions is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as the sum of acquisitions, net of cash acquired and acquisitions of securities from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, Vermilion common shares issued as consideration, the estimated value of contingent consideration, the amount of acquiree's outstanding long-term debt assumed, and net acquired working capital deficit or surplus. Management believes that including these components provides a useful measure of the economic investment associated with our acquisition activity and is most directly comparable to cash flows used in investing activities. A reconciliation to the acquisitions line items in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows can be found below.

($M) Q2 2026 Q2 2025 YTD 2026 YTD 2025
Acquisitions, net of cash acquired 338 1,591 6,373 1,086,047

Acquired working capital deficit  -  -  - 23,179
Acquisitions 338 1,591 6,373 1,122,589

Operating netback: Operating netback is non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as sales less royalties, operating expense, transportation costs, PRRT, and realized hedging gains and losses, and when presented on a per unit basis, is a non-GAAP ratio. Operating netback is most directly comparable to net earnings (loss). Management assesses operating netback as a measure of the profitability and efficiency of our field operations.

Net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations: Management uses net debt (a capital management measure, as defined below) to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations to assess the Company's ability to repay debt. Net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated as net debt (capital management measure) divided by fund flows from operations (total of segments measure) from the preceding four quarters.

 

Capital Management Measure

 

Net debt: Net debt is a capital management measure in accordance with IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" that is most directly comparable to long-term debt. Net debt is comprised of long-term debt (excluding unrealized foreign exchange on swapped USD borrowings) plus adjusted working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities, excluding current derivatives, current asset retirement obligations and current lease liabilities), and represents Vermilion's net financing obligations after adjusting for the timing of working capital fluctuations.

  As at
($M) Jun 30, 2026 Dec 31, 2025
Long-term debt 1,308,333 1,243,397
Adjusted working capital (1) (84,472) 96,091
Unrealized FX on swapped USD borrowings (2) 204 2,902
Net debt 1,224,065 1,342,390
     
Ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations (3) 1.3 1.4
(1)Adjusted working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities (excluding current derivatives, current asset retirement obligations and current lease liabilities).
(2)Vermilion may enter into cross currency interest rate swaps to hedge the foreign exchange movements on USD borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Unrealized FX on swapped USD borrowings relates to the unrealized gains and losses on our cross currency interest swaps. At June 30, 2026, there was $250.2 million of swapped USD borrowings on our revolving credit facility. (December 31, 2025 - $196.7 million).
(3)Subsequent to February 26, 2025, net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations is calculated inclusive of Westbrick Energy's pre-acquisition four quarter trailing fund flows from operations, as if the acquisition of Westbrick Energy occurred at the beginning of the four quarter trailing period, and exclusive of the four quarter trailing fund flows from discontinued operations to reflect the Company’s ability to repay debt on a pro forma basis.

 

Supplementary Financial Measures

Diluted shares outstanding: The sum of shares outstanding at the period end plus outstanding awards under the Long-term Incentive Plan (“LTIP"), based on current estimates of future performance factors and forfeiture rates.

('000s of shares) Q2 2026 Q2 2025
Shares outstanding 152,948 154,019
Potential shares issuable pursuant to the LTIP 4,369 4,737
Diluted shares outstanding 157,317 158,756

Description of equity reserves

Shareholders’ capital

Represents the recognized amount for common shares issued (net of equity issuance costs and deferred taxes) less the weighted-average carrying value of shares repurchased. The price paid to repurchase common shares is compared to the carrying value of the shares and the difference is recorded against deficit.

 

Contributed surplus

Represents the recognized value of unvested equity based awards that will be settled in shares. Once vested, the value of the awards are transferred to shareholders’ capital.

 

Accumulated other comprehensive income

Represents currency translation adjustments, hedge accounting reserve and fair value adjustments on investments.

 

Currency translation adjustments result from translating the balance sheets of subsidiaries with a foreign functional currency to Canadian dollars at period-end rates. These amounts may be reclassified to net earnings (loss) if there is a disposal or partial disposal of a subsidiary.

 

The hedge accounting reserve represents the effective portion of the change in fair value related to cash flow and net investment hedges recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax and reclassified to the consolidated statement of net earnings (loss) in the same period in which the transaction associated with the hedged item occurs.

 

Fair value adjustment on investment in securities, net of tax, are a result of changes in the fair value of investments that have been elected to be subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

 

Deficit

Represents the cumulative net earnings (loss) less distributed earnings and surplus of the price paid to repurchase common shares of Vermilion Energy Inc. over the weighted-average carrying value of the shares repurchased.

8. Capital disclosures

Vermilion defines capital as net debt and shareholders' capital. Net debt consists of long-term debt (excluding unrealized foreign exchange on swapped USD borrowings) plus adjusted working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities, excluding current derivatives, current asset retirement obligations and current lease liabilities). In managing capital, Vermilion reviews whether fund flows from operations is sufficient to fund capital expenditures, dividends, share buybacks, and asset retirement obligations.

 

The following table calculates Vermilion’s ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations:

  Jun 30, 2026 Dec 31, 2025
Long-term debt 1,308,333 1,243,397
Adjusted working capital (1) (84,472) 96,091
Unrealized FX on swapped USD borrowings (2) 204 2,902
Net debt 1,224,065 1,342,390
     
Ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations (3) 1.3 1.4
(1)Adjusted working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities (excluding current derivatives, current asset retirement obligations and current lease liabilities).
(2)Vermilion may enter into cross currency interest rate swaps to hedge the foreign exchange movements on USD borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Unrealized FX on swapped USD borrowings relates to the unrealized gains and losses on our cross currency interest swaps. At June 30, 2026, there was $250.2 million of swapped USD borrowings on our revolving credit facility. (December 31, 2025 - $196.7 million).
(3)Subsequent to February 26, 2025, net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations is calculated inclusive of Westbrick Energy's pre-acquisition four quarter trailing fund flows from operations, as if the acquisition of Westbrick Energy occurred at the beginning of the four quarter trailing period, and exclusive of the four quarter trailing fund flows from discontinued operations to reflect the Company’s ability to repay debt on a pro forma basis.

Exhibit 99.2  

 

FORM 52-109F2

CERTIFICATION OF INTERIM FILINGS - FULL CERTIFICATE

 

I, Dion Hatcher, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vermilion Energy Inc., certify the following:

 

1.Review: I have reviewed the interim financial report and interim MD&A (together, the “interim filings”) of Vermilion Energy Inc. (the “issuer”) for the interim period ended June 30, 2026.

 

2.No misrepresentations: Based on my knowledge, having exercised reasonable diligence, the interim filings do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made, with respect to the period covered by the interim filings.

 

3.Fair presentation: Based on my knowledge, having exercised reasonable diligence, the interim financial report together with the other financial information included in the interim filings fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, financial performance and cash flows of the issuer, as of the date of and for the periods presented in the interim filings.

 

4.Responsibility: The issuer’s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (DC&P) and internal control over financial reporting (ICFR), as those terms are defined in National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings, for the issuer.

 

5.Design: Subject to the limitations, if any, described in paragraphs 5.2 and 5.3, the issuer’s other certifying officer and I have, as at the end of the period covered by the interim filings

 

(a)designed DC&P, or caused it to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance that

 

(i) material information relating to the issuer is made known to us by others, particularly during the period in which the interim filings are being prepared; and
   
(ii)    information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and

 

(b) designed ICFR, or caused it to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer’s GAAP.

 

5.1Control framework: The control framework the issuer’s other certifying officer and I used to design the issuer’s ICFR is the Integrated Framework (2013 Framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

 

5.2ICFR - material weakness relating to design: N\A

 

5.3Limitation on scope of design: N\A

 

6.Reporting changes in ICFR: The issuer has disclosed in its interim MD&A any change in the issuer’s ICFR that occurred during the period beginning on April 1, 2026 and ended on June 30, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the issuer’s ICFR.

 

 

Dated: July 29, 2026
