Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Vermilion Energy Inc. reported Q1 2026 results showing higher production but a net loss driven by non-cash hedge impacts. Production averaged 125,618 boe/d, up 22% year-over-year, while fund flows from operations were $232.3 million and free cash flow reached $97.7 million.

The company posted a net loss of $145.5 million from continuing and discontinued operations, largely due to a $285.6 million unrealized loss on derivative instruments, even as operating netbacks remained positive. Net debt declined to $1.29 billion, keeping the net debt-to-four-quarter trailing fund flows from operations ratio at 1.4 times.

Positive

  • Balance sheet strengthened with lower leverage – Net debt decreased to $1.29 billion as of March 31 2026 from $2.06 billion a year earlier, while the net debt-to-four-quarter trailing fund flows from operations ratio remained at 1.4 times, supported by $97.7 million of free cash flow in Q1 2026.
  • Production growth with improved cost structure – Total production rose 22% year-over-year to 125,618 boe/d in Q1 2026, and controllable cost structure per boe fell 25% versus Q1 2025, enhancing the company’s ability to generate excess free cash flow from its diversified asset base.

Negative

  • Large hedge-driven net loss – Vermilion reported a Q1 2026 net loss of $145.5 million compared with $15.0 million net earnings a year earlier, primarily due to a $285.6 million unrealized loss on derivative instruments, which reduced reported profitability despite positive operating cash flows.

Insights

Q1 2026 shows strong volumes and cash generation offset by hedge-driven accounting loss.

Vermilion Energy increased Q1 2026 production to 125,618 boe/d, a 22% rise versus Q1 2025, helped by Deep Basin and Montney wells. Fund flows from operations of $232.3M supported free cash flow of $97.7M after $134.6M in capital expenditures.

Despite solid operating performance, the company recorded a net loss of $145.5M, mainly from an unrealized loss of $285.6M on derivative instruments tied to commodity hedges. These non-cash marks reflect current forward price curves rather than immediate cash outflows.

Net debt fell to $1.29B as of March 31, 2026, down markedly from $2.06B a year earlier, keeping leverage at 1.4 times four-quarter trailing fund flows from operations. The combination of lower debt and positive free cash flow suggests capacity to continue debt reduction and shareholder returns, subject to future commodity prices and hedge settlements.

fund flows from operations financial
"Fund flows from operations (FFO) is a non-GAAP financial measure"
excess free cash flow financial
"EFCF is comprised of FCF less payments on lease obligations and asset retirement obligations settled"
Excess free cash flow is the cash a company generates from its regular operations after paying all necessary expenses and investments, beyond the amount needed to keep the business running. Like the money left after paying bills and replacing worn-out appliances, this surplus matters to investors because it can be returned as dividends or share buybacks, used to pay down debt, or invested in growth — all actions that can increase shareholder value.
operating netback financial
"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"
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.
net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations financial
"Net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations is a non-GAAP ratio"
asset retirement obligations financial
"As at March 31, 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.
unrealized loss on derivative instruments financial
"For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized a net unrealized loss on derivative instruments of $285.6 million"

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.

Highlights

 

Q1 2026 Results

 

Generated $232 million ($1.52/basic share)(2) of fund flows from operations ("FFO")(1) and $98 million of free cash flow ("FCF")(6), fully funding $135 million of exploration and development ("E&D") capital expenditures(3) while strengthening the balance sheet and returning cash to shareholders.

 

Cost structure of controllable expenses reduced by 25% in Q1 2026 from Q1 2025 reflecting the impact of recent asset repositioning and continued focus on operational excellence.

 

Reduced net debt(7) by $50 million to $1.29 billion at March 31, 2026, bringing net debt reduction to $770 million over the past 12 months.

 

Returned $27 million to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks, including $21 million in dividends and the repurchase and cancellation of 0.4 million shares.

 

Realized an average natural gas sales price of $5.41/mcf, more than double the AECO benchmark, reflecting structural exposure to premium international gas markets and portfolio diversification.

 

Reported a net loss of $146 million ($0.95/basic share) driven by a $286 million unrealized loss on derivative instruments, which is the result of significant increases in spot and forward oil and European gas prices resulting from geopolitical events in Q1 2026, partially offset by gains on AECO hedges.

 

Production averaged 125,618 boe/d(9) (72% natural gas), increasing 4% quarter-over-quarter and 22% from Q1 2025, comprised of 99,746 boe/d(9) from Canadian assets and 25,872 boe/d(9) from International assets. With strong operational results in Q1 2026 carrying through to our Q2 2026 outlook, full-year production is trending to the higher end of the annual guidance range.

 

Several of the Company's Deep Basin wells ranked among the most prolific new wells in Alberta during the quarter, highlighting the depth, consistency and capital efficiency of the Deep Basin asset base and the technical execution of our teams.

 

In the Montney, Vermilion brought on six (6.0 net) liquids-rich gas wells ahead of schedule, delivering tier 1 performance and lower drill, complete, equip and tie-in ("DCET") costs of $8.2 million per well compared to the prior planned cost of $8.5 million per well.

 

In Germany, the Company progressed infrastructure development on the Wisselshorst well and expects first production by mid-2026. The Osterheide well has produced at an average of 8 mmcf/d over the first year of production and has generated approximately $30 million of excess free cash flow (“EFCF”)(6) to-date.

 

Announced the signing of a deal to acquire producing assets in Germany, adding approximately 1,000 boe/d (85% natural gas) of low-decline production, increasing exposure to European TTF-linked gas and Brent-linked oil production, enhancing EFCF, and improving control of gathering infrastructure surrounding the Osterheide well.

 

Added three new land concessions in the North German Basin, adjacent to our existing acreage in Germany, doubling the Company's land base to over 1 million net acres and providing potential upside for our deep gas exploration program.

 

In March 2026, signed an agreement to divest the remaining 60% interest in the SA-07 block in Croatia for net proceeds of approximately €15MM ($24MM). The proceeds will be primarily used for incremental debt reduction, and the transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026.

 

Outlook

 

Vermilion expects Q2 2026 production to average 123,000 to 125,000 boe/d (69% natural gas)(13), with full-year production trending to the top end of the stated guidance range of 118,000 to 122,000 boe/d (70% natural gas)(13) on E&D capital expenditures of $600 to $630 million.

 

Declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.135 per common share, payable on June 30, 2026, to shareholders of record on June 15, 2026.

(1)Fund flows from operations (FFO) is a total of segments and non-GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to net (loss) earnings 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)Dispositions 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. Dispositions is calculated as the sum of dispositions, and disposition of securities. Management believes that including these components provides a useful measure of the proceeds associated with our disposition activities and is most directly comparable to cash flows used in investing activities. More information and a reconciliation to dispositions and disposition of securities, the most directly comparable primary financial statement measures, can be found in the “Non-GAAP and Other Specified Financial Measures” section of this document.

 

(6)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.

 

(7)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.

 

(8)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.

Message to Shareholders

 

The first quarter of 2026 was marked by heightened geopolitical uncertainty, particularly in the Middle East, which intensified through March and continued to impact global energy markets subsequent to quarter-end. These events underscore the importance of energy security and the value of reliable, diversified supply.

 

Vermilion’s large, long-duration resource base and diversified exposure to multiple commodities and pricing benchmarks enhances resilience across a wide range of market conditions. In Q1 2026, production was comprised of approximately 59% Canadian natural gas, 13% European natural gas and 28% liquids, with liquids largely priced off WTI and Brent benchmarks. While production remains weighted toward natural gas, stronger liquids and European gas prices resulted in approximately 77% of Q1 2026 revenue being derived from European gas and liquids production, highlighting the value of Vermilion’s diversified portfolio, including exposure to the liquids-rich window of the Deep Basin and the oil window of the Montney.

 

Against this backdrop, Vermilion delivered strong operational performance, with production of 125,618 boe/d (72% natural gas)(1) exceeding the top end of guidance, driven primarily by exceptional results in the Deep Basin, new Montney oil-window wells brought on ahead of schedule and robust production from the Osterheide well in Germany. Continued focus on efficiencies resulted in a further $300,000 per well reduction in Montney drill, complete, equip and tie-in ("DCET") costs, which reduces future capital requirements by an estimated $60 million and improves full cycle economics.

 

In Europe, gas production achieved an average sales price of approximately $16/MMBtu, benefitting from elevated day-ahead gas prices in March. Market fundamentals remain supportive of higher prices, with current pricing for the next four quarters averaging over $20/MMBtu(2). Global LNG flows have been impacted by disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, while European gas inventories remain at multi-year lows, with storage levels in Germany at approximately 25% and the Netherlands at 10%. It is estimated that European countries will be required to add approximately 2 Tcf of gas to storage by November 1, 2026 in order to meet mandated 80% capacity levels. The majority of this gas will have to be secured in a competitive global LNG market. Domestically, Vermilion remains on track to bring the first Wisselshorst well in Germany online by mid-year, plans to spud follow-up wells on the Bommelsen license early next year, and expects to commence drilling activities in the Netherlands in the second half of 2026. These activities support European energy security through locally produced gas with a lower operational (Scope 1) emissions profile than imported alternatives, based on independent studies.

 

In Canada, Deep Basin and Montney operations continued to outperform budget assumptions. The depth and quality of the inventory within Vermilion’s land base provides investors with exposure to the liquids-weighted fairway of these basins, and the Company has shifted the Deep Basin drilling program to higher liquids-rate wells to capitalize on stronger liquids pricing. The recent Montney pad brought on production ahead of schedule is consistent with tier 1 expectations. The Company was able to achieve strong well performance while simultaneously decreasing DCET cost per well, through continued focus on operational excellence. Subsequent to quarter-end, Vermilion joined the Rockies LNG consortium to evaluate additional diversification for Montney gas through the Ksi Lisims LNG project. This potential diversification option would complement the 26 mmcf/d currently shipped on the Alliance pipeline to the premium-priced Chicago hub, further diversifying our Montney gas by increasing exposure to premium global markets.

 

Vermilion continues to prioritize operational scale in core areas, including the Deep Basin, the Montney, and prospects in Germany and the Netherlands. The benefits of this focus are flowing through recent results and Q1 2026 was no different, with continued outperformance on both production and cost structure. With strong excess free cash flow (“EFCF”)(3) from diversified commodity exposure and operational excellence, Vermilion is well positioned to accelerate debt reduction while continuing to return capital to our shareholders. Looking forward, with 1.3 million net acres of land in Canada and over 2 million net acres of land in Germany and the Netherlands, Vermilion’s long-duration asset base, disciplined capital allocation optionality and focus on operational excellence and profitability position the Company to generate expected sustainable free cash flow for decades to come.

 

Q1 2026 Review

 

In the first quarter of 2026, Vermilion generated $232 million of FFO on E&D capital expenditures of $135 million, resulting in FCF of $98 million that was primarily allocated to the balance sheet and shareholder returns. Net debt was reduced by $50 million to $1.29 billion at March 31, 2026, resulting in net debt to four quarter trailing FFO(4) of 1.4 times. Debt reduction remains a priority for Vermilion, with current pricing improving visibility to the $1.0 billion net debt target. The Company also returned $27 million to shareholders through $21 million of dividends and the repurchase of 0.4 million shares. During the quarter, the Company recorded non-cash, price-related losses on risk management contracts of $286 million ($219 million net of taxes). When commodity prices increase, Vermilion’s net asset value increases, while the liability position of risk management contracts where production has been forward sold also increases. Changes in the fair value of these contracts, which include hedges extending out to Q4 2028, are fully recognized in the current quarter’s income statement and do not reflect the future cash generating capability of the business. The unrealized loss for the quarter was primarily driven by shorter-dated crude oil hedges and European gas hedges, partially offset by gains on AECO hedges. Vermilion has hedged approximately 30% of estimated corporate net-of-royalty production out to Q4 2028, providing exposure to higher prices.

Production averaged 125,618 boe/d (72% natural gas)(1), an increase of 4% over the prior quarter and 22% over Q1 2025. Production from Vermilion's Canadian operations averaged 99,746 boe/d(1) in Q1 2026, a 10% increase over the prior quarter. Production from Vermilion's International operations averaged 25,872 boe/d(1) in Q1 2026, a decrease of 14% from the prior quarter primarily driven by cyclone-related downtime in Australia, as well as natural declines across the European business units. Operational excellence and the repositioned portfolio delivered a significant reduction to the cost structure of controllable expenses, defined as operating, transportation, G&A and interest expense per boe. Compared to Q1 2025, controllable cost structure decreased by 25% in Q1 2026. This enhanced cost structure coupled with strong capital efficiencies captured in the year-end 2025 reserve report will drive sustainable and growing EFCF.

 

In Q1 2026, the Company maintained a three-rig drilling program in the Deep Basin, drilling ten (9.3 net), completing fourteen (13.8 net), and bringing on production eighteen (18.0 net) liquids-rich gas wells. Several of the Company's Deep Basin wells ranked among the most prolific in Alberta during the quarter, reflecting the depth, consistency and capital efficiency of the Deep Basin asset base and the technical execution of our teams. In the Montney, Vermilion drilled five (5.0 net), completed six (6.0 net), and brought on production six (6.0 net) liquids-rich gas wells. With a focus on operational excellence, supported by the realized cost savings from this most recent pad, Vermilion reduced the planned cost in the Montney to $8.2 million per well, which reduces total future capital requirements and improves full cycle economics on our Mica Montney asset.

 

In Germany, the Company progressed infrastructure build-out on the Wisselshorst well during Q1 2026 and expects first production from this well by mid-2026. In France, a cargo that was scheduled for late March was deferred to early April and was sold at the higher April Dated Brent price. This shifted approximately $10 million of cash flows out of Q1 2026 but provides more profitability overall with the spot sale in April benefiting from higher pricing. In Australia, production operations at Wandoo safely resumed in mid-March 2026 following downtime related to Cyclone Mitchell in February 2026, and a subsequent shut-in due to Cyclone Narelle in late March 2026. Experiencing two cyclones events in one quarter is extremely rare, and our teams successfully managed all aspects of the safe shut-in of operations and evacuation of personnel before returning to the platform to initiate inspections. Production resumed subsequent to the quarter following necessary repair work. While production operations were shut-in, Vermilion exported approximately 300,000 barrels of oil in February 2026.

 

In March 2026, the Company reached an agreement to acquire producing assets in Germany, adding approximately 1,000 boe/d (85% natural gas) of low-decline production. This acquisition increases Vermilion’s European TTF-linked gas and Brent-linked oil production, enhances EFCF, and provides strategic value through control of key gathering infrastructure, including local infrastructure at the Osterheide well. The transaction has an effective date of January 1, 2025, and is expected to close in the second half of 2026. The Company also expanded our acreage in the North German Basin with the award of three new concessions, doubling our acreage in Germany to well over 1 million net acres. The terms of this new acreage provides time for Vermilion’s teams to evaluate seismic data and, if prospective, extend our tenure through work commitments.

 

In Croatia, the Company signed an agreement to divest the remaining 60% interest in the SA-07 block for net proceeds of approximately €15MM ($24MM). This block had four successful exploration wells drilled in 2024, however with the success in Germany, Vermilion has elected to prioritize capital allocation to the deep pool of prospects that we have across Germany and the Netherlands. The proceeds from SA-07 will primarily be used for incremental debt reduction and the transaction is expected to close in the second half of the year.

 

Outlook and Guidance Update

 

Consistent with its disciplined capital allocation approach, Vermilion actively managed natural gas production during periods of weak AECO pricing in the summer of 2025, prioritizing value over volumes. Reflecting this profitability-focused approach, Vermilion expects Q2 2026 production to average 123,000 to 125,000 boe/d (69% natural gas)(2). Our full-year 2026 production guidance is unchanged, the Company is trending to the upper end of the annual range, reflecting Q1 2026 outperformance carrying into Q2 2026. This is expected to be partially offset by lower production in Q3 2026, driven by planned maintenance-related downtime, including a 32-day turnaround in Ireland and other maintenance activities across the asset base.

 

Commodity Hedging

 

Vermilion hedges to manage commodity price exposures and increase the stability of our cash flows. In aggregate, we have 48% of our expected net-of-royalty production hedged for the remainder of 2026. With respect to individual commodity products, we have hedged 59% of our European natural gas production, 59% of our crude oil production, and 42% of our Canadian natural gas volumes, 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 (loss) earnings, 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 (loss) earnings from continuing operations and net (loss) earnings 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.

($M) Q1 2026 Q1 2025
Cash flows from operating activities 227,398 280,384
Changes in non-cash operating working capital (7,923) (33,702)

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.

($M) Q1 2026 Q1 2025
Drilling and development 134,146 167,464
Exploration and evaluation 434 14,655
Capital expenditures 134,580 182,119

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.

($M) Q1 2026 Q1 2025
Dividends declared 20,601 20,043
Drilling and development 134,146 167,464

Asset retirement obligations settled 12,802 9,347
Payout 167,983 211,509
    % of fund flows from operations 72 % 83 %

Return on capital employed (ROCE): A non-GAAP ratio, ROCE is a measure that management uses to analyze our profitability and the efficiency of our capital allocation process; the comparable primary financial statement measure is earnings before income taxes. ROCE is calculated by dividing net (loss) earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") by average capital employed over the preceding twelve months. Capital employed is calculated as total assets less current liabilities while average capital employed is calculated using the balance sheets at the beginning and end of the twelve-month period.

  Twelve Months Ended

Return on capital employed (15) % 1 %
(1)Average capital employed includes the current portion of asset retirement obligations, previously presented on a combined basis as long-term. The prior period results have been presented to conform with current period presentation.

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) Mar 31, 2026 Dec 31, 2025
Current assets 484,784 467,286
Current liabilities (765,072) (554,547)

Current lease liability 8,298 9,206
Current derivative liability 243,254 6,154
Adjusted working capital deficit (41,208) (96,091)
(1)Asset retirement obligations previously presented as a combined balance have been reclassified into current and long-term portion of asset retirement obligations. The prior period results have been presented to conform with current period presentation.

 

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.

Shares issued for acquisition 13,363
Acquired working capital deficit 23,179
Acquisitions 6,035 1,120,998

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 (loss) earnings. 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) Mar 31, 2026 Dec 31, 2025
Long-term debt 1,254,333 1,243,397
Adjusted working capital (1) 41,208 96,091
Unrealized FX on swapped USD borrowings (2) (2,974) 2,902
Net debt 1,292,567 1,342,390
     
Ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations (3) 1.4 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 March 31, 2026, there was $203.4 million of 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.

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) Q1 2026 Q1 2025
Shares outstanding 152,600 154,177
Potential shares issuable pursuant to the LTIP 4,433 3,488
Diluted shares outstanding 157,033 157,665

 

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 May 5, 2026, of Vermilion Energy Inc.’s (“Vermilion”, “we”, “our”, “us” or the “Company”) operating and financial results as at and for the three months ended March 31, 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 months ended March 31, 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 months ended March 31, 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 results have been presented to conform with current period presentation. See Note 3 "Discontinued operations" of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 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.

(1)Please refer to Supplemental Table 4 "Production" for disclosure by product type.
(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 (loss) earnings and net (loss) earnings 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

 

Q1 2026 vs. Q1 2025

 

 

 

We recorded a net loss of $145.5 million ($0.95/basic share) for Q1 2026 compared to net earnings of $15.0 million ($0.10/basic share) in Q1 2025. The change was primarily due to unfavourable changes in our non-cash mark-to-market unrealized derivative position driven by European gas and crude oil contracts, partially offset by deferred tax recovery on mark-to-market losses coupled with increased tax asset valuation in Canada and Ireland on forward pricing and higher fund flows from continuing operations attributable to increased production on acquisition and drilling activities.

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

Cash flows from operating activities decreased to $227.4 million in Q1 2026 compared to $280.4 million in Q1 2025, while fund flows from operations decreased to $232.3 million from $256.0 million over the same period. The decrease in FFO was primarily due to a $15.9 million loss on derivative contracts versus a gain of $11.1 million in 2025 and lower North American gas pricing, partially offset by higher sales volumes, net of operating costs, driven by new production in the Deep Basin and Montney and lower general and administration expenses. Variances between cash flows from operating activities and fund flows from operations are primarily driven by working capital timing differences.

 

Production review

Q1 2026 vs. Q1 2025

Consolidated average production increased 22% to 125,618 boe/d in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025 production of 103,115 boe/d primarily due to higher production from assets acquired in February 2025 and new wells brought on production in the Deep Basin and Montney. The increase was partially offset by the United States and Saskatchewan dispositions, cyclone-related downtime in Australia and natural well decline across International business units.

 

Activity review

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, capital expenditures were $134.6 million.

 

In Canada, we invested capital expenditures of $113.9 million in our liquids-rich gas assets:
In the Deep Basin, we drilled ten (9.3 net), completed fourteen (13.8 net), and brought on production eighteen (18.0 net) liquids-rich conventional natural gas wells.
In the Montney, we drilled five (5.0 net), completed six (6.0 net), and brought on production six (6.0 net) liquids-rich shale gas wells.

 

Internationally, capital expenditures of $20.7 million were invested:
In Germany, we invested $3.3 million, primarily on subsurface maintenance and facilities activities, including progressing infrastructure to facilitate production from the Wisselshorst well, which is expected to be brought online by mid-2026.
In the Netherlands, we invested $2.7 million, primarily on facilities and maintenance capital.
In France, we invested $7.0 million, primarily on subsurface maintenance.
In Australia, $5.6 million was invested primarily on facilities activities, as we worked to resume operations following cyclone-related downtime.
In Ireland, $2.0 million was invested on facilities activities.

 

Financial sustainability review

Free cash flow

Free cash flow increased by $23.8 million to $97.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior year primarily driven by increased funds flow from continuing operations and lower capital expenditures, partially offset by lower funds flow from discontinued operations.

 

Long-term debt and net debt

As at March 31, 2026, long-term debt increased to $1.3 billion (December 31, 2025 - $1.2 billion) primarily due to the foreign exchange impact of the US dollar strengthening against the Canadian dollar on our US denominated senior unsecured notes, partially offset by the repayment of long-term debt from excess cash flows generated during the quarter.
As at March 31, 2026, net debt totaled $1.3 billion, a decrease from December 31, 2025 of approximately $50 million. The decrease was primarily due to funds from continuing operations and the inclusion of expected proceeds from the dispositions of assets held for sale. The decrease was partially offset by capital expenditures, asset retirement obligations settled during the quarter and the US dollar strengthening by 2% against the Canadian dollar on our US denominated notes.
The ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations(1) remained at 1.4 as at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - 1.4) due to slightly lower four quarter trailing funds from continuing operations, mainly impacted by pricing, partially offset by lower net debt.

 

(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.

(1)Natural gas in the Netherlands and Germany is benchmarked to the TTF and THE and production is generally equally split between day ahead ("DA") and month ahead ("MA") contracts. Natural gas in Ireland is benchmarked to the NBP and is sold on DA contracts.

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Vermilion Energy Inc.  ■  Page 21  ■  2026 First Quarter Report

 

 

In Canadian dollar terms, year-over-year, prices for European natural gas at NBP and TTF decreased by 31% and 30% respectively on a month ahead basis. Prices over the first two months of 2026 were depressed in response to weaker demand outlooks from Asia and growing LNG flows from the United States. However, March 2026 started to heavily price in LNG outages from Qatar and seasonally low storage across Europe entering Summer 2026.
Year-over-year, natural gas prices in Canadian dollar terms at NYMEX HH increased by 32% and AECO 7A increased by 23%. AECO prices increased in Q1 2026 due to strong winter storage withdrawals, pulls to satisfy strong demand in Eastern Canada and the US Midwest. LNG growth and Winter Storm Fern across Canada and the US also helped support demand to start 2026.
For Q1 2026, average European natural gas prices represented a $12.23/mcf premium to AECO 7A. Approximately 18% of our natural gas production in Q1 2026 benefited from this premium European pricing (Q1 2025 - 28%). The decrease in our realized natural gas price from the prior period is primarily due to increased North American natural gas exposure via the Westbrick acquisition in Q1 2025.

  

 

Crude oil prices increased in Q1 2026 relative to Q1 2025 primarily due to the turmoil in the Middle East sparking a late rally across March 2026 on Strait of Hormuz closures and record production shut-ins. Across the quarterly average, USD WTI increased by 1% and Dated Brent increased by 7% in Q1 2026 relative to Q1 2025.
In Canadian dollar terms, year-over-year, the Edmonton Sweet differential tightened by $1.98/bbl to a discount of $5.17/bbl against WTI. This is due to decreased supply in Western Canadian storage as well as strong flows towards the US markets and the Canadian West coast. MSW differentials were also supported heading into peak driving season.
Approximately 43% of Vermilion’s Q1 2026 crude oil and condensate production was priced at the Dated Brent index, which averaged a premium to WTI of US$8.68/bbl; in Australia sales were executed at an $3.70/bbl premium to Dated Brent index in February 2026, prior to the late quarter increase in Dated Brent. The remainder of our crude oil and condensate production was priced at the Canadian C5+, Edmonton Sweet, and WTI indices.

Production in Canada averaged 99,746 boe/d, representing a 10% increase from the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to continued strong performance from our Deep Basin drilling program and production from new wells in the Montney brought online in the quarter.

In Q1 2026, the Company maintained a three-rig drilling program in the Deep Basin, drilling ten (9.3 net), completing fourteen (13.8 net), and bringing on production eighteen (18.0 net) liquids-rich gas wells. In the Montney, Vermilion drilled five (5.0 net), completed six (6.0 net), and brought on production six (6.0 net) liquids-rich shale gas wells.

Sales in Canada continuing operations decreased 6% on a per boe basis for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to change in product mix on the acquisition and disposition activity, which was partially offset by higher natural gas prices. On a dollar basis, sales in Canada continuing operations increased for three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior year period primarily due a full month more of production from assets acquired in late February 2025 and new gas wells brought online in the Deep Basin and in the Montney.

Operating expenses in Canada continuing operations decreased 19% to $6.55 per boe compared to $8.07 per boe in the first quarter of 2025 due to increased operational scale in the Deep Basin and Montney as increased volumes are more than offset by costs related to gas processing, maintenance and other costs as we utilized existing infrastructure to facilitate production growth, which is weighted to a variable cost structure.

Production from Vermilion's International operations averaged 25,872 boe/d in Q1 2025, a decrease of 14% from the prior quarter primarily driven by cyclone-related downtime in Australia, as well as natural declines across International business units.

In Germany, the Company progressed infrastructure build-out on the Wisselshorst well during Q1 2026 and expects first production from this well by mid-2026. In Australia, production operations at Wandoo safely resumed in mid-March 2026 following downtime related to Cyclone Mitchell in February 2026, and was subsequently shut-in due to Cyclone Narelle in late March 2026. Production resumed subsequent to the quarter following necessary repair work. Despite production operations being shut-in, Vermilion exported approximately 300,000 barrels of oil in February 2026.

As a result of changes in inventory levels, our sales volumes for crude oil in Australia, France, and Germany may differ from our production volumes in those business units. The following table provides the crude oil sales volumes (consisting entirely of "light crude oil and medium crude oil") for those jurisdictions.

Crude oil sales volumes (bbls/d) Q1 2026 Q1 2025
Australia 3,509   2,754  
France 5,094   6,538  
Germany 2,013   1,819  
International 10,616   11,111  

Sales in our International core region for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by 13% on a per boe basis compared to the prior period, primarily due to 20% lower realized European natural gas pricing, partially offset by 1% higher realized European crude oil pricing. International sales decreased on a dollar basis for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower realized European natural gas pricing combined with lower sales volumes.

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.

Royalties increased 4% from $4.43 to $4.61 per boe for the three months ended March 31, 2026 mainly due to higher royalties on the Osterheide startup volumes in Germany. Royalties on a dollar basis remained relatively flat for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior year comparable period primarily due to lower sales volumes in France, partially offset by higher royalties on the Osterheide startup volumes in Germany.

Consolidated Financial Performance Review

Fluctuations in fund flows from operations, including fund flows from continuing operations and fund flows from discontinued 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 months ended March 31, 2026, total general and administration expense decreased compared to the same period in the prior year due to transaction costs related to the Westbrick acquisition combined with the impact of restructuring in Canada and more efficient operations resulting in lower costs.

 

PRRT and corporate income taxes

PRRT decreased to zero for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to a PRRT expense in Q1 2025 due to cyclone-related downtime in Australia.
Corporate income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased compared to the prior year comparable period mainly due to lower revenues in Germany and in the Netherlands.

 

Interest expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 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 in Q1 2025 and subsequently repaid in 2025. In addition, buybacks of the 2030 and 2033 senior unsecured notes has reduced interest expense.

 

Realized gain or loss on derivatives

For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2026 is included in “Supplemental Table 2” of this MD&A.

 

Realized other income or expense

Realized other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 remained relatively flat compared to the prior year comparable period. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, realized other expense increased primarily related to an estimated provision recognized to satisfy work commitments.

 

 

Vermilion Energy Inc.  ■  Page 30  ■  2026 First Quarter Report

 

 

Net earnings (loss)

Fluctuations in net (loss) earnings 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 relates included within net (loss) earnings 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 months ended March 31, 2026 versus the same period in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in the performance factor on LTIP awards vesting in 2026.

 

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 March 31, 2026, we recognized a net unrealized loss on derivative instruments of $285.6 million. This consists of unrealized losses of $218.5 million on our European natural gas commodity derivative instruments, $149.3 million on our crude oil and liquids commodity derivative instruments, partially offset by unrealized gains of $41.9 million on our North America gas commodity derivative instruments, $30.1 million on our equity swaps and $10.5 million on 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.

 

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 (loss) earnings 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 March 31, 2026, we recognized a net unrealized foreign exchange loss of $15.3 million, primarily driven by the effects of the US dollar strengthening 1.7% against the Canadian dollar on our US denominated debt, 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 March 31, 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.

 

 

Vermilion Energy Inc.  ■  Page 31  ■  2026 First Quarter Report

 

 

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 March 31, 2026 of $14.82 decreased from $19.13 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, partially offset by higher production in Canada and reserve additions in 2025.

 

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 a deferred tax recovery of $112.8 million on continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to a deferred tax recovery of $12.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The deferred tax recovery was driven by the recognition of deferred tax assets in Ireland and Canada from increased valuation driven by forward pricing and on unrealized derivative losses.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a deferred tax recovery of $1.0 million on discontinued operations compared to deferred tax expense of $3.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The deferred tax recovery for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was driven by the depreciation recorded for the SA-07 block assets held for sale.

 

 

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 March 31, 2026, we have a ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations of 1.4.

 

Net debt

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

  As at
($M) Mar 31, 2026 Dec 31, 2025
Long-term debt 1,254,333 1,243,397
Adjusted working capital (1) 41,208 96,091
Unrealized FX on swapped USD borrowings (2) (2,974) 2,902
Net debt 1,292,567 1,342,390
     
Ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations (3) 1.4 1.4

 

 

 

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

 

 

(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 March 31, 2026, there was $203.4 million of 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 March 31, 2026, net debt decreased slightly to $1.29 billion (December 31, 2025 - $1.34 billion) primarily due to increased funds from continuing operations and the inclusion of the expected proceeds from the disposition of the SA-07 assets held for sale in Croatia. The decrease was partially offset by capital expenditures, asset retirement obligations settled during the quarter and the US dollar strengthening by 2% against the Canadian dollar on our US denominated notes.

 

The ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations(1) remained flat at 1.4 as at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - 1.4) due to slightly lower four quarter trailing funds from continuing operations, mainly impacted by pricing, net of derivatives and lower net debt on inclusion of the expected proceeds on assets held for sale.

 

Long-term debt

The balances recognized on our balance sheet are as follows:

  As at
  Mar 31, 2026 Dec 31, 2025
Revolving credit facility 229,491 222,724
2030 senior unsecured notes 513,962 504,962
2033 senior unsecured notes 510,880 515,711
Long-term debt 1,254,333 1,243,397

 

Revolving credit facility

As at March 31, 2026, Vermilion had in place a bank revolving credit facility maturing May 25, 2029 with terms and outstanding positions as follows:

  As at
($M) Mar 31, 2026 Dec 31, 2025
Total facility amount 1,350,000 1,350,000
Amount drawn (229,491) (222,724)
Letters of credit outstanding (42,153) (49,263)
Unutilized capacity 1,078,356 1,078,013

The facility is secured by various fixed and floating charges against the subsidiaries of Vermilion. As at March 31, 2026, $229.5 million of the revolving credit facility was drawn (December 31, 2025 - $222.7 million).

 

Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the maturity date of the revolving credit facility was extended to May 30, 2030 with no other changes to the existing terms and conditions.

 

As at March 31, 2026, the revolving credit facility was subject to the following financial covenants:

    As at
Financial covenant Limit Mar 31, 2026 Dec 31, 2025
Consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA Less than 4.0 1.17 1.14
Consolidated total senior debt to consolidated EBITDA Less than 3.5 0.21 0.21
Consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense Greater than 2.5 8.77 8.44

 

 

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

 

 

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 (loss) earnings 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Vermilion was in compliance with the above covenants.

 

Term loan

Concurrent with the completion of the Westbrick acquisition on February 26, 2025, Vermilion's credit facility agreement was amended to incorporate a new $450.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) which was immediately drawn. The Term Loan balance was repaid in full in 2025.

 

2025 senior unsecured notes

On March 13, 2017, Vermilion issued US $300.0 million of senior unsecured notes at par. The notes bore interest at a rate of 5.625% per annum and were paid semi-annually on March 15 and September 15. During the year ended December 31, 2024, Vermilion purchased $31.6 million of senior unsecured notes on the open market which were subsequently cancelled. The notes matured on March 15, 2025 and the balance was repaid in full.

Asset Retirement Obligations


As at March 31, 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 3.1% at March 31, 2026 compared to 4.4% at December 31, 2025, primarily due to a higher expected cost of borrowing.

 

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.

 

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

  Mar 31, 2026 Dec 31, 2025 Change
Credit spread added to below noted risk-free rates 3.1 % 4.4 % (1.3) %
Country specific risk-free rate      
Canada 3.9 % 3.9 % — %
France 4.6 % 4.5 % 0.1 %
Netherlands 3.7 % 3.2 % 0.5 %
Germany 3.5 % 3.4 % 0.1 %
Ireland 3.4 % 3.2 % 0.2 %
Australia 5.2 % 4.9 % 0.3 %
Central and Eastern Europe 5.2 % 4.8 % 0.4 %

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 three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2026 that would have a material impact on the 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 is currently discussing its approach 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 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 mandated the Australian version of IFRS S2 as Australian Accounting Standards Board S2 with mandatory disclosure for Vermilion in 2025, reporting in 2026. Under the Omnibus, Vermilion may be required to report as a non-EU parent company; however, the regulations for this reporting are not yet finalized. Vermilion's reporting date is currently projected as 2029 for the 2028 fiscal year, depending on EU subsidiary revenue for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. 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. 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.

 

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 March 31, 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 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 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 (loss) earnings, 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 (loss) earnings from continuing operations and net (loss) earnings 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.

($M) Q1 2026 Q1 2025
Drilling and development 134,146 167,464
Exploration and evaluation 434 14,655
Capital expenditures 134,580 182,119

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.

($M) Q1 2026 Q1 2025
Dividends declared 20,601 20,043
Drilling and development 134,146 167,464

Payout 167,983 211,509
    % of fund flows from operations 72 % 83 %

Return on capital employed (ROCE): A non-GAAP ratio, ROCE is a measure that management uses to analyze our profitability and the efficiency of our capital allocation process; the comparable primary financial statement measure is earnings before income taxes. ROCE is calculated by dividing net (loss) earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") by average capital employed over the preceding twelve months. Capital employed is calculated as total assets less current liabilities while average capital employed is calculated using the balance sheets at the beginning and end of the twelve-month period.

  Twelve Months Ended

(1)Average capital employed includes the current portion of asset retirement obligations, previously presented on a combined basis as long-term. The prior period results have been presented to conform with current period presentation.

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.

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) Q1 2026 Q1 2025
Acquisitions, net of cash acquired 6,035 1,084,456
Shares issued for acquisition 13,363
Acquired working capital deficit 23,179
Acquisitions 6,035 1,120,998

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 (loss) earnings. 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) Mar 31, 2026 Dec 31, 2025
Long-term debt 1,254,333 1,243,397
Adjusted working capital (1) 41,208 96,091
Unrealized FX on swapped USD borrowings (2) (2,974) 2,902
Net debt 1,292,567 1,342,390
     
Ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations (3) 1.4 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 March 31, 2026, there was $203.4 million of 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.

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 (loss) earnings 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 (loss) earnings 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 (loss) earnings 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:

  Mar 31, 2026 Dec 31, 2025
Long-term debt 1,254,333 1,243,397
Adjusted working capital (1) 41,208 96,091
Unrealized FX on swapped USD borrowings (2) (2,974) 2,902
Net debt 1,292,567 1,342,390
     
Ratio of net debt to four quarter trailing fund flows from operations (3) 1.4 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 March 31, 2026, there was $203.4 million of 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.

FAQ

How did Vermilion Energy (VET) perform financially in Q1 2026?

Vermilion Energy generated $232.3 million of fund flows from operations and $97.7 million of free cash flow in Q1 2026. However, it reported a net loss of $145.5 million, largely driven by a significant unrealized loss on commodity derivative contracts.

What were Vermilion Energy (VET) production levels in Q1 2026?

Vermilion’s Q1 2026 production averaged 125,618 boe/d, up 22% from 103,115 boe/d in Q1 2025. Output was 72% natural gas, with strong contributions from Canadian Deep Basin and Montney assets and ongoing international production across Europe and Australia.

Why did Vermilion Energy (VET) record a net loss in Q1 2026?

The net loss stemmed mainly from a $285.6 million unrealized loss on derivative instruments related to hedging. While operating netbacks and cash flows were positive, these non-cash mark-to-market losses on crude oil and European gas hedges reduced reported earnings for the quarter.

How much debt does Vermilion Energy (VET) have, and what is its leverage?

As of March 31 2026, Vermilion reported long-term debt of $1.25 billion and net debt of $1.29 billion. Its net debt-to-four-quarter trailing fund flows from operations ratio was 1.4 times, reflecting considerable deleveraging from $2.06 billion net debt a year earlier.

What is Vermilion Energy (VET) generating in free cash flow?

In Q1 2026, Vermilion reported $97.7 million of free cash flow and $82.1 million of excess free cash flow after lease and asset retirement payments. This cash flow supported both $21 million of dividends and share repurchases while still reducing net debt.

How did Vermilion Energy’s operating netback change in Q1 2026?

The consolidated operating netback was $25.49/boe in Q1 2026 versus $38.48/boe a year earlier. Lower realized natural gas prices, especially in Europe, and higher operating costs in some international assets contributed to the decline, partly offset by stronger liquids pricing.
