Record Q1 2026 results driven by Wahoo and Peregrino, with revenue of $1.2B, EBITDA of $850M, and net income of $460M. Operational efficiency and cost reductions set new benchmarks, while guidance targets further improvements and a 1x net debt/EBITDA by 2027.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Record production and sales in 2025, driven by Peregrino acquisition and operational improvements, led to strong adjusted EBITDA despite higher leverage. Wahoo commissioning and cost reductions set the stage for 2026 deleveraging and enhanced shareholder returns.
-
Disciplined capital allocation and operational excellence are driving robust growth, with production set to reach 200,000 barrels/day in 2026 and a formal shareholder remuneration plan expected in early to mid-2026. Major projects like Wahoo and Peregrino are on track, cost reductions are materializing, and ESG performance is strong.
-
Q3 was impacted by a 63-day Peregrino shutdown, raising lifting costs and lowering output, but other assets performed strongly and Wahoo advanced. EBITDA was $320M, net income $92M, and cash exceeded $2B. Peregrino and Wahoo are set to boost production above 200,000 bbl/day in 2025.
-
Q2 2025 saw $500M revenue and $154M net income, but operational issues at Frade and lower sales led to higher costs and inventory. Peregrino acquisition and Wahoo project advanced, with strong liquidity and extended debt maturities supporting future growth.
-
Q1 2025 saw the transformative Peregrino acquisition, boosting reserves and sales but raising lifting costs. Revenue hit $700M, net income $344M, and adjusted EBITDA $446M. Integration and efficiency gains are expected to lower costs and drive rapid deleveraging.
