OKLAHOMA CITY (May 6, 2025) Gulfport Energy Corporation (NYSE: GPOR) (“Gulfport” or the “Company”) today reported financial and operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and provided an update on its 2025 development plan and financial position.

First Quarter 2025 and Recent Highlights

John Reinhart, President and CEO, commented, “Gulfport is off to an active start in 2025, delivering first quarter results ahead of Company expectations while remaining on track to execute on our previously provided full year guidance. Our ability to generate adjusted free cash flow during a front-loaded capital program highlights the strength of our asset base and the operations team’s high-level of efficiency and execution. As planned, we anticipate a significant increase in production over the coming quarters, currently forecasting our average daily natural gas production to increase approximately 20% by fourth quarter 2025 when compared to first quarter 2025 levels. We remain committed to developing our assets in a responsible manner and given the current commodity price dynamic, we plan to strategically shift a portion of our drilling activity in late 2025 toward dry gas Utica development to maximize returns and position the Company favorably for an improving natural gas environment. We are reaffirming our full year guidance and these adjustments highlight the optionality within our asset base as well as the Company’s flexibility to be dynamically responsive to current market conditions to maximize shareholder value.”

“We continue to forecast robust adjusted free cash flow generation during 2025 and remain consistent in our adjusted free cash flow allocation framework with plans to return substantially all of our adjusted free cash flow, excluding discretionary acreage acquisitions, through common stock repurchases,” Reinhart concluded.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

Gulfport’s management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and evaluating business and financial performance, and believes that they are useful tools to assess Gulfport’s operating results. Although these are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), management believes that these financial measures are useful to an investor in evaluating Gulfport because (i) analysts utilize these metrics when evaluating company performance and have requested this information as of a recent practicable date, (ii) these metrics are widely used to evaluate a company’s operating performance, and (iii) we want to provide updated information to investors. Investors should not view these metrics as a substitute for measures of performance that are calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because all companies do not calculate these measures identically, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow, and recurring general and administrative expense. A reconciliation of each financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included in the tables below. These non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Definitions

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income (loss) less non-cash derivative loss (gain), non-recurring general and administrative expenses comprised of expenses related to the continued administration of our prior Chapter 11 filing, stock-based compensation expenses, other non-material expenses and the tax effect of the adjustments to net income.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, non-cash derivative loss (gain), non-recurring general and administrative expenses comprised of expenses related to the continued administration of our prior Chapter 11 filing, stock-based compensation and other non-material expenses.

Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as adjusted EBITDA plus certain non-cash items that are included in net cash provided by operating activities but excluded from adjusted EBITDA less interest expense, current income tax expense (benefit), capitalized expenses incurred and capital expenditures incurred. Gulfport includes a adjusted free cash flow estimate for 2025. We are unable, however, to provide a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP measure to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure because management cannot reliably quantify certain of the necessary components of such forward-looking GAAP measure. Accordingly, Gulfport is relying on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K to exclude such reconciliation. Items excluded in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to arrive at adjusted free cash flow include interest expense, income taxes, capitalized expenses as well as one-time items or items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated.

Recurring general and administrative expense is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to general and administrative expense (GAAP) plus capitalized general and administrative expense, less non-recurring general and administrative expenses comprised of expenses related to the continued administration of our prior Chapter 11 filing. Gulfport includes a recurring general and administrative expense estimate for 2025. We are unable, however, to provide a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP measure to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure because management cannot reliably quantify certain of the necessary components of such forward-looking GAAP measure. Accordingly, Gulfport is relying on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K to exclude such reconciliation. Items excluded in general and administrative expense to arrive at recurring general and administrative expense include capitalized expenses as well as one-time items or items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated. The non-GAAP measure recurring general and administrative expenses allows investors to compare Gulfport’s total general and administrative expenses, including capitalization, to peer companies that account for their oil and gas operations using the successful efforts method.
