Fiscal Year 2026
-
Production averaged 13,726 bopd in H1 2026, exceeding guidance, with strong cash flow and a net cash position. An 8-well drilling program will resume in Q4, targeting 20,000 bopd by mid-2027. Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 rose 24% sequentially, and cost reductions improved margins.
-
Q1 2026 saw strong financial performance with adjusted EBITDA up 90% sequentially and guidance raised due to higher oil prices. Production remains above budget, and water injection improvements support future growth. Capital allocation focuses on funding operations and debt reduction.
-
2026 guidance focuses on protecting liquidity, resetting costs, and deferring growth until market conditions improve. Production is expected to average 12,000 barrels/day, with significant cost reductions and capital discipline, while investments in water handling and erosion control support future upside.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
2025 saw a 9% production increase year-over-year, but Q4 output fell due to operational constraints. Adjusted EBITDA dropped to $166M, while free funds flow improved to $90M on lower capex. 2026 priorities include water handling expansion, erosion control, and resuming drilling.
-
Q3 2025 saw a 21% production increase year-over-year and strong free cash flow, but operational setbacks and a weak oil price outlook led to a dividend suspension and cost-cutting measures. Production is expected to decline in early 2026, with recovery dependent on rig arrival and water handling expansion.
-
2025 production and EBITDA guidance were revised lower due to pump failures, drilling delays, and weaker oil prices, but free cash flow remains stable. CapEx was cut significantly, and regulatory and supply chain delays continue to impact project timelines.
-
Q1 2025 saw a 26% year-over-year production increase and stable EBITDA despite lower oil prices, with over $48 million in free funds flow. A $65 million term loan was secured for erosion control, and 2025 guidance remains unchanged, though lower oil prices may impact EBITDA.
-
Production is set to grow 24% in 2025, with $240–$250 million EBITDA and $60 million free cash flow after capex. Major infrastructure and erosion control investments support future growth, while robust cash flow underpins dividends and potential top-ups.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Production reached record highs in early 2025, with reserves and capital returns also growing. Strong cost control and peer-leading reserve replacement metrics support a robust outlook, while hedging and capital flexibility help manage risks.
-
Q3 2024 production rose 39% year-over-year, with EBITDA up 20% despite lower oil prices. Cash balance increased to $133 million, and a new drilling rig was acquired to boost efficiency. Major cash outflows for erosion control and taxes are expected in 2025.
-
Q2 2024 saw near-record production and strong financials, with EBITDA guidance raised to $200–$240 million for the year. Accelerated drilling and infrastructure investments support future growth, while a robust balance sheet and ongoing capital returns highlight financial strength.
-
The meeting covered financial statements, set the board at eight directors, elected all nominees, and reappointed Deloitte LLP as auditor. All motions passed, and no shareholder questions were raised during the session.
