Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Results
and Provides Outlook for 2025
Dallas, Texas, March 6, 2025 – Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. (NYSE: GRNT) (“Granite Ridge” or the “Company”) today reported financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2024 and provided initial guidance for 2025.
Fourth Quarter 2024 Highlights
•Increased total production by 7% to 27,734 Boe/day (53% oil) driven by a 20% increase in oil production
•Reported Net Loss of $11.6 million, or $(0.09) per share, and Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP) of $22.7 million, or $0.17 per diluted share
•Generated Adjusted EBITDAX (non-GAAP) of $82.6 million
•Invested $93.3 million of capital, placing online 86 gross (4.08 net) wells
•Declared a dividend of $0.11 per share
•Ended the year with total liquidity of $129.1 million and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAX of 0.7x
See “Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for descriptions of the above non-GAAP measures as well as a reconciliation of these measures to the associated GAAP (as defined herein) measures.
Luke Brandenberg, President and CEO of Granite Ridge, commented, “Granite Ridge concluded 2024 with outstanding performance across our portfolio, achieving a corporate record for total production driven by a 10% increase over the third quarter. Our disciplined investment strategy enabled us to efficiently deploy capital, completing 86 gross wells and executing nearly two dozen transactions across the Permian and Appalachian basins. These actions have bolstered our asset base while maintaining financial flexibility, as demonstrated by our strong liquidity position at year-end and conservative leverage of 0.7x Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAX.”
Mr. Brandenberg concluded, “Our Operated Partnership portfolio surpassed expectations in 2024, reinforcing our confidence in our partners’ ability to capture compelling opportunities in the Permian Basin. By collaborating with highly aligned management teams to source, acquire, and develop high-quality assets, we are generating significant value in today’s market. We look forward to keeping our investors informed as we continue to execute our strategy.”
“Looking ahead, we remain committed to driving sustainable growth and delivering shareholder returns. Our 2025 outlook projects a 16% increase in production at the midpoint, and our declared dividend implies a current yield of over 7%, highlighting the strength of our strategy. With a robust portfolio of high-quality assets, strong partnerships, and a disciplined approach to capital allocation, we are well-positioned to build on our momentum in the coming year.”

All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this press release regarding, without limitation, Granite Ridge’s 2025 outlook, financial position, operating and financial performance, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations, industry conditions, and indebtedness covenant compliance are forward-looking statements. When used in this release, forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by terms or phrases such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “target,” “could,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “goal,” “will,” “should,” “may” or other words and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Items contemplating or making assumptions about actual or potential future production and sales, market size, collaborations, cash flows, and trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond Granite Ridge’s control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the following: Granite Ridge’s financial performance following the business combination, changes in Granite Ridge’s strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects and
plans, changes in current or future commodity prices and interest rates, supply chain disruptions, infrastructure constraints and related factors affecting our properties, ability to acquire additional development opportunities and potential or pending acquisition transactions, as well as the effects of such acquisitions on the Company’s cash position and levels of indebtedness, changes in reserves estimates or the value thereof, operational risks including, but not limited to, the pace of drilling and completions activity on our properties, changes in the markets in which Granite Ridge competes, geopolitical risk and changes in applicable laws, legislation, or regulations, including those relating to environmental matters, cyber-related risks, the fact that reserve estimates depend on many assumptions that may turn out to be inaccurate and that any material inaccuracies in reserve estimates or underlying assumptions will materially affect the quantities and present value of the Granite Ridge’s reserves, the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings, limited liquidity and trading of Granite Ridge’s securities, acts of war, terrorism or uncertainty regarding the effects and duration of global hostilities, including the Israel-Hamas conflict, the Russia-Ukraine war, continued instability in the Middle East, and any associated armed conflicts or related sanctions which may disrupt commodity prices and create instability in the financial markets, and market conditions and global, regulatory, technical, and economic factors beyond Granite Ridge’s control, including the potential adverse effects of world health events, affecting capital markets, general economic conditions, global supply chains and Granite Ridge’s business and operations, increasing regulatory and investor emphasis on, and attention to, environmental, social and governance matters, Granite Ridge’s ability to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, and the other risks described under the heading “Item 1A.

Granite Ridge has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and assumptions about future events. While management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Granite Ridge’s control. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected or projected. Granite Ridge does not undertake any duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as may be required by the federal securities laws.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company believes certain non-GAAP performance measures may provide financial statement users with additional meaningful comparisons between current results, the results of its peers and the results of prior periods. In addition, the Company believes these measures are used by analysts and others in the valuation, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry. See the reconciliations throughout this release of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures for the periods indicated.
Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDAX
Adjusted EBITDAX is presented herein and reconciled from the GAAP measure of net income because of its wide acceptance by the investment community as a financial indicator.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAX as net income before depletion and accretion expense, (gain) loss on derivatives – commodity derivatives, net cash receipts from (payments on) commodity derivatives, interest expense, loss on derivatives – common stock warrants, non-cash stock-based compensation, warrant exchange transaction costs, income tax expense, impairment of long-lived assets, (gain) loss on equity investments and other, net. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income or cash flows as determined by GAAP.
The Company’s Adjusted EBITDAX measure provides additional information that may be used to better understand the Company’s operations. Adjusted EBITDAX is one of several metrics that the Company uses as a supplemental financial measurement in the evaluation of its business and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as an indicator of operating performance. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic cost of depreciable and depletable assets. Adjusted EBITDAX, as used by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDAX is a widely followed measure of operating performance and is one of many metrics used by the Company’s management team and by other users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For example, Adjusted EBITDAX can be used to assess the Company’s operating performance and return on capital in comparison to other independent exploration and production companies without regard to financial or capital structure, and to assess the financial performance of the Company’s assets and the Company without regard to capital structure or historical cost basis.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the GAAP measure of net income to Adjusted EBITDAX for the periods indicated:
| Three Months Ended December 31, | Year Ended December 31, | |||||||

| Adjusted EBITDAX | $ | 82,633 | $ | 81,826 | $ | 290,845 | $ | 305,434 |
Reconciliation of Debt to Net Debt
The Company provides Net Debt, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Net Debt as long-term debt less cash as of the balance sheet date. The Company’s Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAX provides investors with insight into the Company’s leverage as of the measurement date.
The following table provides a reconciliation from the GAAP measure of Debt to Net Debt and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAX ratio:
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands except for ratio) | 2024 | |
| Long-term debt | $ | 205,000 |
| Cash | 9,419 | |
| Net Debt | $ | 195,581 |
| Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAX ratio | 0.7 |
Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share
The Company provides Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share represent earnings and diluted earnings per share determined under GAAP without regard to certain non-cash and nonrecurring items. The Company defines Adjusted Net Income as net income as determined under GAAP excluding impairments of long-lived assets, gain on disposal of oil and natural gas properties, (gain) loss on derivatives - commodity derivatives, net cash receipts from (payments on) commodity derivatives, loss on derivatives - common stock warrants, (gain) loss on equity investments, deferred finance cost amortization acceleration, warrant exchange transaction costs, tax impact on above adjustments and changes in deferred taxes and other estimates.
The Company defines Adjusted Earnings Per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted average number of diluted shares of common stock outstanding.
The Company believes these measures provide useful information to analysts and investors for analysis of its operating results on a recurring, comparable basis from period to period. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for earnings or diluted earnings per share as determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
The following table provides a reconciliation from the GAAP measure of net income to Adjusted Net Income, both in total and on a per diluted share basis, for the periods indicated:
