Growth driven by accretive acquisitions, including $2.0B in 2025 with major deals like Maverick and Canvas Energy, resulting in a 33x production increase since 2017.
Maintains a de-risked production model with robust margins, dynamic hedging (60-80% of gas volumes hedged for five years), and low production declines.
Vertically integrated operations and technology investments drive cost efficiency, asset optimization, and sustainability.
Unlocks value from 8.6 million net acres, with significant upside from undeveloped acreage and strategic partnerships.
Financial performance and capital allocation
Achieved $500M in total revenue (Q3 2025), $286M adjusted EBITDA (66% margin), and $144M adjusted free cash flow, with $296M YTD FCF supporting shareholder returns and debt repayment.
Reduced leverage by 20% since YE 2024, with a current leverage ratio of 2.4x and $440M liquidity.

Portfolio optimization and acquisitions
Ongoing portfolio optimization with $144M in 2025 divestitures, focusing on monetizing undeveloped acreage and enhancing returns.
