Press Release

Kolibri Global Energy Announces a 40% Increase in Production and a 15% Increase in Net Revenues for the Third Quarter of 2025

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.

(1)

Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP measure. Refer to the section entitled โ€œNon-GAAP Measuresโ€ of this earnings release.

(2)

Netback from operations and netback including commodity contracts are considered non-GAAP ratios. Refer to the section entitled โ€œNon-GAAP Measuresโ€ of this earnings release.

KEIโ€™s President and Chief Executive Officer, Wolf Regener commented:

โ€œWe 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.

โ€œThe Forguson 17-20-3H well (46% working interest), which was completed in the 3rd 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.โ€

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.

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.1 million or 6% in the third quarter of 2025 due to costs related to the special shareholder meeting.

Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP measure. Refer to the section entitled โ€œNon-GAAP Measuresโ€ of this earnings release.

(2)

Netback from operations and netback including commodity contracts are considered non-GAAP ratios. Refer to the section entitled โ€œNon-GAAP Measuresโ€ of this earnings release.

(3)

Price impact from commodity contracts includes the positive or negative adjustment to the average price per barrel that the Company realized from its commodity contracts.

The information outlined above is extracted from and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the related management’s discussion and analysis thereof, copies of which are available under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

Netback from operations, netback including commodity contracts and adjusted EBITDA (collectively, the “Companyโ€™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 Companyโ€™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 Companyโ€™s Non-GAAP Measures, how the Companyโ€™s Non-GAAP Measures provide useful information to an investor and the purposes for which the Companyโ€™s management uses the Non-GAAP Measures is set out in the management’s discussion and analysis under the heading โ€œNon-GAAP Measuresโ€ 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 Companyโ€™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.

PRODUCT TYPE DISCLOSURE

This news release includes references to sales volumes of “oil”, “natural gas”, and โ€œbarrels of oil equivalentโ€ or โ€œBOEsโ€. โ€œOilโ€ 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.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

In this news release and the Companyโ€™s other public disclosure:

(a)

The Company’s natural gas production is reported in thousands of cubic feet (“Mcfs”). The Company also uses references to barrels (“Bbls”) and barrels of oil equivalent (“Boes”) to reflect natural gas liquids and oil production and sales. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

(b)

Discounted and undiscounted net present value of future net revenues attributable to reserves do not represent fair market value.

(c)

Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

(d)

The Company discloses peak and 30-day initial production rates and other short-term production rates. Readers are cautioned that such production rates are preliminary in nature and are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This release contains forward-looking information including information regarding the proposed timing and expected results of exploratory and development work including production from the Company’s Tishomingo field, Oklahoma acreage, expectations regarding cash flow and continued growth in the fourth quarter, the Companyโ€™s reserves based loan facility, including scheduled repayments, expected hedging levels and the Companyโ€™s strategy and objectives. The use of any of the words โ€œtargetโ€, โ€œplansโ€, “anticipate”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “project”, “should”, “believe” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Such forward-looking information is based on managementโ€™s expectations and assumptions, including that the Company’s geologic and reservoir models and analysis will be validated, that indications of early results are reasonably accurate predictors of the prospectiveness of the shale intervals, that previous exploration results are indicative of future results and success, that expected production from future wells can be achieved as modeled and that declines will match the modeling, that future well production rates will be improved over existing wells, that rates of return as modeled can be achieved, that recoveries are consistent with managementโ€™s expectations, that additional wells are actually drilled and completed, that design and performance improvements will reduce development time and expense and improve productivity, that discoveries will prove to be economic, that anticipated results and estimated costs will be consistent with managementโ€™s expectations, that all required permits and approvals and the necessary labor and equipment will be obtained, provided or available, as applicable, on terms that are acceptable to the Company, when required, that no unforeseen delays, unexpected geological or other effects, equipment failures, permitting delays or labor or contract disputes are encountered, that the development plans of the Company and its co-venturers will not change, that the demand for oil and gas will be sustained, that the Company will continue to be able to access sufficient capital through financings, credit facilities, farm-ins or other participation arrangements to maintain its projects, that the Company will continue in compliance with the covenants under its reserves-based loan facility and that the borrowing base will not be reduced, that funds will be available from the Companyโ€™s reserves based loan facility when required to fund planned operations, that the Company will not be adversely affected by changing government policies and regulations, social instability or other political, economic or diplomatic developments in the countries in which it operates and that global economic conditions will not deteriorate in a manner that has an adverse impact on the Company’s business and its ability to advance its business strategy.
