THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–All amounts are in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise indicated:

THIRD QUARTER 2025 HIGHLIGHTS

• Average production for the third quarter of 2025 was 4,254 BOEPD, an increase of 40% from the third quarter of 2024 average production of 3,032 BOEPD. The increase was due to production from the wells that were drilled and completed in the first nine months of 2025
• Revenue, net of royalties was $15.0 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $13.0 million for the third quarter of 2024, which was an increase of 15% due to a 40% increase in production partially offset by a decrease in average prices of 18%
• Net income in the third quarter of 2025 was $3.6 million and Basic EPS was $0.10/share, compared to net income of $5.1 million and Basic EPS of $0.14/share, in the same period of 2024. Net income in the third quarter of 2025 included a $0.5 million unrealized loss on commodity contracts compared to a $1.3 million unrealized gain on commodity contracts in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was also due to higher depreciation expense and higher operating expenses from increased production in the third quarter of 2025 which offset the increase in revenues
• Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $10.1 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 9%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenues, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses due to the increase in production
• Production and operating expense per barrel averaged $7.37 per BOE in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $6.63 per BOE in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 11%. The increase was due to reassessed production tax adjustments related to prior periods that were recorded in September 2025 totaling $0.3 million, or $0.80 per BOE. Excluding those costs, production and operating costs would have been $6.57 per BOE, a 1% decrease from the prior year
• Average netback from operations⁽²⁾ for the third quarter of 2025 was $30.84/boe, a decrease of 23% from the prior year third quarter due to lower prices in 2025. Average netback including commodity contracts⁽²⁾ for the third quarter of 2025 was $30.89 per boe, a decrease of 23% from the prior year third quarter
• In October 2025, the credit facility was redetermined with the same $65 million borrowing base. At September 30, 2025, the Company had $18.5 million of available borrowing capacity on its credit agreement.

KEI’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Wolf Regener commented:

“We are pleased that the Company continues to increase production, revenue and adjusted EBITDA as we execute our 2025 drilling program. Our production increased by 40% during the quarter and our adjusted EBITDA increased by 9% as compared to the third quarter of 2024. Our product mix was 66% oil during the third quarter and it increased to 71% in September due to the contribution of the higher percentage oil production from the Lovina wells. We are currently in completion operations on our last four wells for 2025 which we expect will start production in December. As we shifted the completion operations of our last four wells closer to the end of the year, we expect to exit the year with production at an all-time high. These latest wells will have the biggest impact in the first quarter of 2026 by increasing production and generating continued growth for the Company.

“The Forguson 17-20-3H well (46% working interest), which was completed in the 3^rd quarter of 2025 on its east side acreage, has still only recovered 4.5% of the frack fluid, with the well producing about 192 BOEPD, about 94 BOPD for the last week in October.”

NON-GAAP MEASURES

Netback from operations, netback including commodity contracts and adjusted EBITDA (collectively, the “Company’s Non-GAAP Measures”) are not measures or ratios recognized under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. Management of the Company believes that such measures and ratios are relevant for evaluating returns on each of the Company’s projects as well as the performance of the enterprise as a whole. The Company’s Non-GAAP Measures may differ from similar computations as reported by other similar organizations and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures and ratios as reported by such organizations. The Company’s Non-GAAP Measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income, cash flows related to operating activities, working capital or other financial measures and ratios determined in accordance with IFRS, as an indicator of the Company’s performance.

An explanation of the composition of the Company’s Non-GAAP Measures, how the Company’s Non-GAAP Measures provide useful information to an investor and the purposes for which the Company’s management uses the Non-GAAP Measures is set out in the management’s discussion and analysis under the heading “Non-GAAP Measures” which is available under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca and is incorporated by reference into this earnings release.

The following is the reconciliation of the non-GAAP ratio netback from operations to net income, which the Company considers to be the most directly comparable financial measure that is disclosed in the Company’s financial statements:

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income before interest, taxes, depletion and depreciation and other non-cash and non-operating gains and losses. The Company considers this a key measure as it demonstrates its ability to generate cash from operations necessary for future growth excluding non-cash items, gains and losses that are not part of the normal operations of the Company and financing costs. The following is the reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure adjusted EBITDA:

PRODUCT TYPE DISCLOSURE

This news release includes references to sales volumes of “oil”, “natural gas”, and “barrels of oil equivalent” or “BOEs”. “Oil” refers to light crude oil and medium crude oil combined, and “natural gas” refers to shale gas, in each case as defined by NI 51-101. Production from our wells, primarily disclosed in this news release in BOEs, consists of mainly oil and associated wet gas. The wet gas is delivered via gathering system and then pipelines to processing plants where it is treated and sold as natural gas and NGLs.
