Evolution Petroleum (NYSE:EPM) is expected to report fiscal Q4 2026 earnings at 4:55 PM ET today, with the earnings call scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, September 16, at 11:00 AM ET. This quarter matters because management framed it as the period when temporary Q3 headwinds roll off and the portfolio’s “underlying earnings power” should show through.
Recovery Quarter Meets a Crude Rally
Last quarter was rough. Revenue landed at $20.17M, down 10.6% YoY, and adjusted EPS came in at -$0.09 versus a $0.018 estimate. A $7.62M unrealized derivative loss, a $1.2M retroactive Delhi transportation charge, and Jonah differentials that trimmed roughly $3.39 per BOE drove the miss.
Sentiment has been mixed. EPM is up 12.66% year to date at $3.77, yet still down 19.27% over the past year. The commodity setup improved sharply, with WTI running from $69.74 on July 1 to $97.26 on September 9, while Henry Hub sat near $2.81.

The Q4 EPS expectation ranges from -$0.01 to $0.01, with the average sliding from $0.008 sixty days ago to -$0.004 today. Full-year FY27 EPS consensus of $0.05 implies analysts believe the reset quarter is behind Evolution.
What I’m Watching Tonight: Louisiana Royalties, TexMex, and the Hedge Reversal
Tonight, I’ll be watching whether the 23 Louisiana Haynesville and Bossier royalty wells flagged for near-term first production actually contribute this quarter. COO Mark Bunch said the operator activity supports a fiscal Q4 ramp, though management declined to quantify the volumes ahead of data.
TexMex is another data point to watch. The workover program targets 100+ net BOEPD by end of fiscal Q4, and CEO Kelly Loyd said the 300 BOEPD lost to January ice storms is “almost substantially all back online.”
Analysts will also focus on the hedge book. CEO Kelly Loyd noted, “selling oil for higher prices than our hedges is a really good thing,” and with WTI back near $97, at least 30% of crude production remains unhedged. Investors wil also be looking for Delhi commentary for any move to take production in kind, and any update on the $3.3M SCOOP/STACK divestiture proceeds redeployment.
Finally, liquidity was $10.4M against $56.5M of borrowings at 6.78%, so any commentary on the credit facility will be meaningful.
