The earnings shortfall came despite a dramatic operational improvement, with the company swinging to GAAP net income of $12.56 million from a net loss of $20.88 million in the year-ago period, aided by an $11.77 million unrealized commodity derivative gain that boosted reported results but was stripped from adjusted figures. The core revenue story was driven by a 28% jump in average realized price per BOE to $50.23, with oil revenues alone climbing to $120.45 million from $80.01 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA rose 54% year-over-year to $54.41 million, and free cash flow expanded to $31.38 million. Looking ahead, Q3 production guidance of 33.3 to 36.8 MBoe per day holds roughly steady, though operating costs are expected to rise modestly as deferred maintenance projects from Q2 roll into the period.

Key Takeaways

  • Average realized price per BOE increased 11% sequentially to $50.23 and 28% year-over-year
  • Oil realized price of $99.30/Bbl, up 43% sequentially and 56% year-over-year
  • Production of 34.7 MBoe/d at midpoint of guidance, up 3% year-over-year
  • Lease operating expenses of $71.6 million below low end of guidance due to timing of facility and workover projects
  • Free Cash Flow increased 50% sequentially to $31.4 million
  • Net Debt decreased 9% sequentially to $200.9 million

WTI Forward Guidance & Outlook

Q3 2026 production guidance of 33.3–36.8 MBoe/d (slightly higher than Q2). Q3 LOE expected to increase to $73.0–$81.0 million due to ~$3 million of deferred facility/workover projects from Q2 and ~$2 million of workovers accelerated from Q4. Full year 2026 guidance: production of 12,227–13,560 MBoe (33.5–37.2 MBoe/d), capex of $19.5–$24.5 million (expected toward higher end), and plugging and abandonment of $34.0–$42.4 million. Full year LOE of $264.7–$294.7 million. The company highlighted strong positioning for accretive acquisitions with $194.1 million in total available liquidity.
