ForImmediate Release
KOLIBRIGLOBAL ENERGY INC. ANNOUNCES OPERATIONS AND CORPORATE UPDATE
ThousandOaks, CALIFORNIA, July 8, 2024 – Kolibri Global Energy Inc. (the “Company” or “Kolibri”) (TSX: KEI, NASDAQ: KGEI) is pleased to provide an update on its operations and changes to its field development plan and previously issued forecast for 2024.
NickelHill wells
The Nickel Hill 35-1H well had a thirty-day production rate of 495 Barrels of oil equivalent per day (“BOEPD”) (376 barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”)), and the Nickel Hill 35-2H well had a thirty-day production rate of 511 BOEPD (400 BOPD). Kolibri owns a 62.9% working interest in both of the Nickel Hill wells, which were drilled at a 6-well per section spacing pattern with a one-mile lateral length. These well locations were listed as Possible reserves on Kolibri’s latest reserve report. By drilling these economic wells, we have added Proved reserves which should positively impact the next reserve report.
AliciaRenee wells
The Company anticipates beginning drilling the next three wells in four to five weeks. These wells will be the Alicia Renee 2-11-3H, Alicia Renee 2-11-4H and Alicia Renee 2-11-5H. These wells will be 1.5-mile laterals and Kolibri will have a 97.8% percent working interest.
FieldDevelopment
Kolibri has recently completed a study of the most economic and efficient future development plan for the field. The conclusion of the study was that drilling longer lateral lengths would benefit the development of most areas of the field. These longer laterals, which are expected to be either 1.5 or 2 miles in length, are projected to further improve the economics of the field.
Wolf Regener, President and CEO, commented, “We are very pleased that these latest two Caney wells are performing so well, especially since they were locations that were only possible reserves on our last reserve report. The next reserve report will add these locations as proved reserves and should also have offset locations moved to the proved reserve category. We are also excited to drill the first of our longer lateral wells, which is another step in our striving for continuous improvement. They are expected to improve the economics of the field, and more economic wells lead to higher valuations, which benefits all shareholders. Since these wells will take longer to drill and complete, new production will be added later than originally forecasted in our previous plan. This reduces our previous guidance slightly as most of the benefits of these wells will be realized in 2025. We believe the anticipated benefits outweigh the revised lower guidance for 2024.”

NewGuidance
The Company is updating its forecasted guidance for 2024 as follows:
| 2024 Forecast | ||
|---|---|---|
| Average production | 3,200 to 3,700 boepd | % |
| Revenue^(1)^ | US57 million to US62 million | % |
| Adjusted EBITDA^(2)^ | US43 million to US48 million | % |
| Capital expenditures | US33 million to US39 million | |
| Net Debt^(3)^ | US29 million to US32 million | |
| Debt to EBITDA Ratio | Below 1.0 |
All values are in US Dollars.
| (1) | Assumptions include forecasted pricing for 2024 of WTI US $75/bbl,<br>$2.60 Henry Hub, and NGL pricing of $30/boe and includes the impact of the Company’s existing hedges. |
|---|---|
| (2) | Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP measure. Refer to the section entitled “Non-GAAP Measures” of this news release. |
| (3) | Net Debt is forecast to be $26 to $29 million by the end of January 2025. |
Sharebuyback
Kolibri is considering initiating a share buyback program in the second half of 2024. The buyback program, which could potentially begin this quarter, would be subject to board approval, the Company’s application for a normal course issuer bid to the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), TSX approval, and meeting certain requirements of the Company’s credit facility. The timing and amount of the buybacks will be determined in accordance with the rules of the TSX, U.S. and Canadian securities laws and subject to management discretion based on factors such as market conditions, net cash flow and the timing of the new wells starting production. The Company will provide more details on the program in a news release later this quarter.
NON-GAAPMEASURES
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure recognized under IFRS and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Management of the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is relevant for evaluating returns on the Company’s project as well as the performance of the enterprise as a whole. Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similar computations as reported by other similar organizations and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures as reported by such organizations. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income, cash flows related to operating activities, working capital, or other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company’s performance.
An explanation of how Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to an investor and the purposes for which the Company’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA 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 news release.

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:
| (US $000) | Three months ended<br> <br>March 31, | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |||||
| Net income | 3,345 | 7,896 | ||||
| Depletion and depreciation | 3,894 | 4,338 | ||||
| Accretion | 45 | 45 | ||||
| Interest expense | 915 | 485 | ||||

CautionaryStatements
Inthis news release and the Company’s other public disclosure: The references to barrels of oil equivalent (“Boes”) reflectnatural gas, natural gas liquids and oil. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalencyat the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly differentfrom the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value. Possible reservesare those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantitiesactually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.
Readersshould be aware that references to initial production rates and other short-term production rates are preliminary in nature and are notnecessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. Readers are referred to the full description of the resultsof the Company’s December 31, 2023 independent reserves evaluation and other oil and gas information contained in its Amended andRestated Form 51-101F1 Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information for the year ended December 31, 2023, which the Companyfiled on SEDAR on March 25, 2024.
