Thank you, and thank you, everyone, for joining us today. With me on today's call is also Gary Johnson, our Chief Financial Officer. So, as hopefully everyone has seen, we released our second quarter 2026 results this morning, and if you looked at them, I hope you share our excitement about the results. To say we are very pleased is an understatement. Our second quarter resulted in the company having its highest quarterly revenue, reduction, and adjusted EBITDA in the history of the company. and this is in spite of having three of our wells shut in for one-third of the quarter we also finished drilling the three clifton mack wells and are looking forward to beginning the completion operations on those shortly i'm also very excited that we're starting to drill the labina 8-5-1 hf well which is our first test of the false candy formation i'm looking forward to testing this bench in our field i'm excited about this because of all the data we have we have a whole core that shows that the volcano is highly oil saturated and it has excellent characteristics on logs from numerous wells in the field. I'm looking forward to exciting times ahead from our company. With that, I'll now turn over the call to Gary to discuss our financial results.
Go ahead, Gary. Thanks, Wolf, and thanks to everyone for joining the call. I'm just going to go over a few highlights of the second quarter and the New York State results, then we take questions at the end of the call. All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated. Let's start by going over the second quarter. As you may have seen in our press release, our second quarter revenue was $22.5 million, which was our highest quarterly revenue in the company's history. Revenue increased by 109% from the prior year second quarter, due to a 46% production increase and a 41% increase in average prices. Average production was up 46% to 4,690 BLE per day, compared to 3,220 BLE per day in the prior year quarter. That increase was due to the production from the wells that were drilled and completed during the second half of 25. Net income was 8.5 million and basic EPS was 24 cents per share, compared to 2.9 million and basic EPS of 8 cents per share in the prior second quarter, which was an increase of almost 200%. The increase was due to higher revenue and an unrealized gain on commodity contracts partially offset by higher operating expense and nepletion expense due to the higher production. Adjusted EBITDA was $16.4 million compared to $7.7 million in the prior quarter which was an increase of 114% due to higher revenues partially offset by higher OPEX and a realized loss on commodity contracts. Our net back from operations increased to $4,392 per BLE compared to $2,966 per BLE in the prior quarter, which was an increase of 48%. This was due to higher average prices for the quarter, which were partially offset by higher operating expenses. Production and operating expense averaged $8,90 per BLE for the quarter compared to $7,15 per BLE in the prior quarter, which was an increase of 24%. This increase was due to workover costs for a non-operated well, which added 59 cents per BOE, and also temporary higher water hauling costs compared to 25. So moving on to the year-to-date June results, net revenue increased by 55% to $42.1 million compared to $27.2 million due to a 29% increase in production and a 19% increase in average prices. Average production per year-to-date June was up 29% to 4,688 BOE per day, compared to 3,646 in the prior year period. And this increase was, again, due to production from the wells that were drilled in the last half of 25. That income was 12.5 million and basic EPS was 35 cents per share, compared to 8.6 million and basic EPS at 24 cents per share in the prior year period. The increase was due to higher revenue, partial offset by higher operating expense and depletion expense due to the higher production, higher interest expense, and a realized loss on auto commodity contracts in 26. Adjusted EBITDA was $31.3 million compared to $20.5 million in the prior period. An increase of 52% due to higher revenue, partial offset by higher operating expenses and a realized loss on commodity contracts. That backing operations increased by 21% to $41.18 per BOE, compared to $34.05 per BOE in the prior year period. This was due to higher average prices, partially offset by higher operating expenses. I also wanted to add that our credit facility was redetermined in the second quarter, and our borrowing base was increased by 15% from $65 million to $75 million. A continued increase in our borrowing base gives us more flexibility in managing our working capital going forward, and it also demonstrates the growing value of our property. So as you can see, last year's drilling program led to significant increases in revenue and cash flow across both the second quarter and the first half of the year. We anticipate the four new wells in our 2026 drilling program will add on to this growth, primarily in the fourth quarter when the wells are expected to be contributing a full quarter of production. And with that, I'll hand it back to Wolf.
Thanks, Gary. As Gary laid out, we had a great quarter with us hitting our highest ever quarterly revenue, production, and adjusted EBITDA. And we're looking forward to more growth with the four new wells coming online. In addition, as I said in the beginning of the call, also really looking to this false caney test, having a successful false caney well can open up the door to many more locations, reserves, and thus value creation for all shareholders. And that is what I believe we are all here to do. This concludes the formal part of our presentation and we'll be happy to answer any questions you may not have.
We will now begin the question and answer session. To ask a question, you may press star then one on your touch-to-tone phone. If you are using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. If at any time your question has been addressed and you would like to withdraw your question, please press star then two.
And we'll pause momentarily to assemble our roster. And the first question will come from Steve Ferrazani with Sidoti.
Please go ahead.
Morning, Wolf. Morning, Gary. Obviously, great quarter. Wolf, the surprise to us was the strength in the 2Q production and the fact that they're really, even if we factor in the volume adjustment by the gas purchaser, it's largely offset by the shut-in of the Alicia Renee Wells. We exclude that. And there's virtually no sequential decline in production, even though you added no new volume in the first half. And I'm just trying to figure out how that happens.
Well, we did well. But, yeah, no, the wells are performing well. And, you know, when we bring these wells on, they flow for a while, then we put them on a lift. And so we got a little boost again when we put them on list, you know, had a little decline and then came back up again on that. And now they'll start their normal decline after that as well. So, you know, we're not going to stay flatlined, unfortunately, until we bring the new wells on, which will go back up again.
So, yeah, when I think about that, were you those the four Q wells, the was it the Barnes and the Valen? And were you still optimizing those wells within Q1? Is that part of the factor here?
Yeah, well, it's more along the lines of what I mentioned as far as bringing the gas congestion in to the gas lift. That helps it out again, right? So you have some declines happening, and then you can reverse some of that when you bring that on.
Gary, the gas purchaser volume adjustment, what quarter was that from? I'm just trying to figure out how it's factored into your gas and NGL realized price.
It's related to several periods in the past, going back to 24, actually.
Oh, wow.
But it's just turned wells. But, yeah, it goes back quite a few months, quite a few years, actually.
Got it. Got it. You provided the updated guidance late June. Were there any new factors that weren't included in that guide? Well, so we know we had the volume adjustment. I'm assuming late June you knew that. You knew the shut-in of the Alicia Renee wells. I'm sure you had a reasonable sense of the timing of the three wells you're completing now. Any factors we should be thinking about that were not in that guide?
No, it'll just depend on how these wells do. They're coming on, you know, the four wells. That's really the biggest factor. That's really what puts you from our garden. Yeah, because it's a lot of production coming on at once, right? I mean, well, our production has been growing nicely, right? We're close to 5,000. But still bringing on four wells at a time that have high IPs really moves the needle a lot one way or another for a forecast. So that's our biggest variable, I'll say.
That's what would put you to the higher end. because right now you'd be i mean to hit the low end of guidance second half would be flat the first half so it's reasonable to start thinking probably the low end is is less low risk i don't want to over promise anything so our guidance is what we have i'm trying to get you to anyway sorry i'm not going to talk about it no offense but but but but but bigger picture three q is based on the guide three q is is like is you going to be your low production quarter four q is expected to be the high production quarter for the year correct you're absolutely
right okay um and then the is the lavina well in general so it's a two mile well you haven't done two mile lateral you haven't done that before how much of that is because it's in the false caney or how much of it is the geographical location in the field what's allowing you to try the two mile lateral for the first time um you know even on these mile and a half laterals some of them are a little bit longer because we're sometimes coming into a section back a bit uh so some of these mile and a half were actually a little bit longer but really i mean it's a quiet area we've had no you know we've been able to steer still at the end of our laterals and that was the hardest part for us in the beginning when we just had one mile laterals because we do have quite a bit of dip here we've made this so that we don't have quite as much dip here it's in the quiet area of the field where we don't see a whole lot of fault and we have good control around it so we feel comfortable that we can push it to the two miles out here on this well got it that's an exciting time um what would make you what what are the factors in deciding whether you'll complete it or not or we don't know oh i i would imagine unless we have a horrible drilling issue that we'll be completing now which would then and that's a plan i can't imagine any scenario i can't imagine any scenario where we wouldn't and that would you be using that the timing wise would you be using the same spread um it's probably i don't know if it's going to be the same or not um it must be a matter of timing who's available yep uh for the right price too right so but it is timing of course well so as soon as we're done drilling we'd like to get the completion crew in as quickly as possible much like we're doing on the clifton mackwells here got it um last one for me just on the update on the your production and operating costs the water hauling do you expect that to continue through this year the work over is isolated to this quarter fair yeah the workover was definitely isolated to the quarter it was actually the first half because it was in the first quarter as well the workover from our non-op was uh both quarters but yeah it should stop now but the water was and i think it should it's shocking how much was spent on one well yes we were shocked and then the water and the water hauling gary do you think that does that temper here or is it around this level for the year it's definitely gone it's definitely going down throughout the quarter i mean about the year so far but i mean it might be it's probably going to be higher than last year a little bit but not too much but it's definitely going to temper down got it and then just generally on cost pressures are you seeing them around your field um we've had some increases i mean some of our chemical costs have come up and up and so we're putting actually some physical things in to try to knock those chemical costs down again um so we're in early stages of that we think we're making some progress on that But, yeah, I mean, there's been some cost escalation, but nothing too bad.
Got it. Thanks, Wolf. Thanks, Gary.
The next question will come from Nicholas Pope with Ross Capital. Please go ahead.
Hey, Gary. Hey, Wolf. I'm good. Got a couple quick questions here on the operations front. I'm curious, with that Lavina well, first test here in the Falls Caney, you said you had that whole core, looked oil-saturated. Curious what, I guess, what's remaining from a risk standpoint as you kind of look at that well and how y'all are expecting to communicate with the street the kind of results of that well or maybe what you view as kind of successful relative to kind of what we're seeing in kind of the core caney wells that you're already drilling, maybe comparing it with that?
Yeah, so on a perspective basis, the zone's a little thinner. You can see that on our presentation, too, with how we've, you know, it's more cartoonish, but it is relative to one another. So it's a little thinner than the caney itself. But if you look at how much acreage we have in our approved reserves for our cany itself, it's like 11,500 acres net to us. And the cany, we think, has perspective over about 9,900 acres. So it's not as thick. And we have a lot of reserves in the cany, right? We have 40 million barrels proved in the cany itself. And so even if the salt cany is thinner, even if you want to cut and a half we're looking at you know something comparable that we're hoping to be able to get a lot of reserves if we can make this work and it's repeatable so really what we're looking for is you know having a good well that's steered in this uh interval uh we'll get the cuttings and get the analysis as we're drilling it as well so we have a feel for what the rock looks like um not anticipating any big surprises on that front and then it'll come down to just what the flow rates are from it and then what ultimately are the decline rates. But, you know, we've liked that core for a long time because it's a little thinner. We think the two mile laterals really make the economics work really well. And, you know, our steering has gotten better and better with the newer tools over the last, you know, five, six years even. So we have high hopes that we're going to keep it where we want it, that our geology is going to be good, and it should be with the control we have, and that we'll make a good well. And then, you know, then it'll be what the flow rates are and what the 30-day rate is and how she declines thereafter. So it's hopefully going to be pretty – I'm hoping it's very definitive right off the bat.
And how are you expecting these wells, like their initial rates, to compare to the canyons?
Or is it too early? So I'm hoping, it's really too early. I mean, I'm hoping we're making at least what the Caney Wells are. It might have higher IPs maybe, but the terms look a little better. But we'll see. Let's let the production speak for itself when we do it. So I don't want to leave anyone too much one way or another on this. Got it. Appreciate that.
And then looking at these Alicia Renee Wells that are shut in, I'm curious if there's any concern about performance once those come back online when the Clifton Mack Wells are done, or it's pretty straightforward? No, not at all.
Yeah, so it's just the way we had to redesign the programs. We had to drill them closer into where those were just to get around some of the faults that we found when we drilled that first one. And so that's the reason that they're shut in. they're just we're drilling really close to where those other well bores were but it's the very toe end of those well bores that are hitting the heel of the clifton mac wells so um even if we frack into it a little bit it's just at the very heel of it and shouldn't affect the clifton mac much or the alicia renee much and our wells in general we actually get a bunch of flush production after these wells have been shut in for a while because they don't produce a whole lot of water um that's just the water that we've injected or then it slowly comes back over time so i'm anticipating some flush production now that they leash and renee when they come back on got it all right well that's all i had i appreciate the time well
oh absolutely good to hear from you nick again if you have a question please press star then one our next question will come from richard darnley with longport partners please go ahead Good morning.
The Clifton Mack Wells with the casein problem was because one of the things was too much pressure.
How much more pressure did they have than what you were expecting or versus the standard average can you well? yeah and let me let me say it's not so much a casing issue it's just that we had to use extra casing strings in these wells so we had a lower pressure interval that was up shallower that we've not had in other areas of the field just in this area so we had to put an extra casing string across that to isolate that and then there was some higher pressures down at the bottom so So before we drilled the lateral, we set another string right there before we drilled the lateral in order to hold everything back and keep everything isolated. It's always been kind of a tougher interval for us right off that transition from the Springer into the K&E formation. So really, that's the extra security that was there for these wells that we felt that we had to do in order to go forward. Yeah, it showed us higher pressures. I don't have a quantifiable number on that. And so we'll just see what she does when we come back. Really, the only pressure we can really get is once we actually fracture assimilate and start getting fluid back out of the rock. So before that, we used higher mud weights here to drill it to keep everything in place. So that's the reason for the higher pressures that we mentioned. Right.
And what did they end up costing?
Well, we haven't specified it specifically, but they were more expensive than our normal wealth.
Is that classified info?
No, it's just we haven't discussed it. So I can't, whatever we didn't specifically put in a press release, I can't say on the call either, because otherwise we have to do another press release to disseminate that information.
I'm not trying to be difficult, but I have to be careful about what we disseminate. to everyone per the rules right well uh it would be useful to to know that when you release the you know the ip or eur uh estimates uh just uh background uh and completely understand but the good part is that or the part is no matter what these wells cost you know we're still guiding toward our normal canning well still being that same cost because in the rest of the field we don't have to do these extra pacing streams right right uh and is um the the gas oil ratio uh heading uh north this this quarter uh is is that is that a a one-off or or or the base you know the average your your base wells uh getting gassier no it's so it part of it is this adjustment that came in that uh dropped it down a bit lower as well and you'll see we have a note in our i can't remember the press release or the mdna and the nbna so yeah it was it was 70 in in may and in june so it kind of got skewed by that adjustment for the quarter that's why it was really low but yeah so we're
tracking, you know, like I said, 70 in the last few months.
Yeah, and basically the 74 that was in the first quarter was the new wells that came on at a higher percentage oil percent, and while the oil is tracking what the decline has been, we did start getting additional gas coming in, so they're actually on a BOE basis came up a little bit more than expected. Oil stayed kind of what we expected, but more gas came in, so that dropped that down a bit. Okay.
And you said that you expect the false caney weld to be oil saturated. Well, you know, your base is very oil saturated already. Are you expecting higher oil saturation from the false caney?
No, we won't know what the percentage is until we drill it. But all we're saying is that when you have whole core, our cany was oil-saturated as well. So it's just an indication that there is oil in the false cany. And then what the rates are and what the percentage oil to gas is, we'll see when we fracture stimulate and when we produce them back. Yeah, I understand.
Okay, thank you.
All right, good to talk to you.
And this will conclude our question and answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to Mr. Wolf Regener for any closing remarks. Please go ahead, sir.
I just want to thank everyone for being supportive of the company and shareholders and also taking the time to listen to us today and ask questions, et cetera. Thank you, everyone. Have a great day.
The conference is now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.
