(“Vista Argentina”), agreed to the assignment of Trafigura’s interest in the farmout agreements I and II in its own favor (See Notes 29.2.1.1 and 29.2.1.2 of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024), effective as from January 1, 2025, at which time the Company holds rights to 100% of the production from the pads subject to the Farmout Agreement.

Under the Farmout Agreement, Vista Argentina will pay 128,000 to Trafigura in 48 monthly and consecutive installments through December 2028 (“purchase price”).

In addition, Vista Argentina and Trafigura signed a crude oil marketing agreement (“COMA”), which is effective since January 1, 2025, by virtue of which Vista Argentina will sell 10,000 m³ of crude oil per month to Trafigura. The amount payable by Trafigura under the COMA its offset with Vista Argentina’s obligations under the Farmout Agreement.

As a consequence of the Farmout Agreement, the Company recognized: (i) an account payable of 107,749 related to the purchase price at fair value; and (ii) a net asset addition of 78,454, including 80,243 in “Property, plant and equipment” under “Production wells and facilities” (Note 11). Finally, the Company recognized an “Oil and gas properties” for 29,295 (Note 11).

As of September 30, 2025, Vista Argentina had offset an amount of 21,000 against the liability under the Farmout Agreement.

1.2.2 Acquisition of Petronas E&P Argentina S.A.(“PEPASA” currently Vista Energy Lach S.A. “Vista Lach”)

On April 15, 2025, the Company, through its subsidiary Vista Argentina, acquired the 100% of the capital stock of PEPASA, which holds a 50% working interest in La Amarga Chica unconventional concession (“LACh”), located in the Province of Neuquén, Argentina, from Petronas Carigali Canada B.V. and Petronas Carigali International E&P B.V. (the “Transaction”).

Under the terms of the Transaction, the total consideration amounted to 1,406,441, broken down as follows: (i) 899,687 paid in cash on the Transaction date; (ii) 299,687 paid through the transfer of 7,297,507 American Depositary Shares representing an identical number of Vista´s Serie A shares (“ADSs”) which are subject to lock-up restrictions, and (iii) a liability assumed with a nominal value of 300,000, to be settled in cash, with 50% due on April 15, 2029, and the remainder 50% due on April 15, 2030, without accruing interest (“liability assumed”). As of the Transaction date, the present value of the assumed liability amounts to 207,067.

Note 2. Basis of preparation and material accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation and presentation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 – “Interim Financial Reporting”, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The Company prepared its interim financial statements on a condensed basis pursuant to IAS 34. Certain explanatory notes are included to describe the events and transactions that are relevant to understand the changes in the financial position as of September 30, 2025, and the results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read together with the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using the same accounting policies as used in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024, except for the income tax expense that is recognized in each interim period based on the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year.

They were prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value. The figures contained herein are stated in US Dollars (“USD”) and are rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved for publication by the Board of Directors on October 22, 2025 and the subsequent events through that date are considered.

2.2 New effective accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB adoptedby the Company

The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

None of the accounting pronouncements applicable after December 31, 2024, and as of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements had a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or result of its operations.

2.3 Basis of consolidation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. Except as mentioned in Note 1.2.2, there were no other significant changes in interest in Company subsidiaries during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.

2.4 Summary of material accounting policies

2.4.1 Impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment, right-of-useassets and identifiable intangible assets (“long-lived assets”) other than goodwill

Long-lived assets are tested for impairment at the lowest level in which there are separately identifiable cash flows largely independent of the cash flows of other Cash Generating Units (“CGUs”).

The Company conducts its impairment test of nonfinancial assets when there is an indication that the carrying amount may be impaired. Moreover, Goodwill is tested every December. The Company bases the impairment test on the calculation of value in use and reviews the relationship between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount of its assets.

For the nine-month period ended as of September 30, 2025, the Company identified trigger events related to the CGU operated exploitation concessions of conventional oil and gas in Mexico. As result of the impairment analysis performed, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded an impairment of 38,252, which includes 38,229 related to “Property, plant and equipment” and 23 to “Other intangible assets” (See Note 11 and 12).

See Note 3.2.2 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024.

2.4.2 Business combination

The acquisition method is used to book business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for these acquisitions comprises:

(i) The fair value of transferred assets;
(ii) The liabilities incurred to former owners of the acquired business;
--- ---
(iii) The equity interests issued by the Company;
--- ---
(iv) The fair value of any asset or liability from a contingent consideration arrangement; and<br>
--- ---
(v) The fair value of any previously held equity interest in the subsidiary.
--- ---

Identifiable assets acquired and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are initially measured at fair values at the date of purchase.

The costs related to the acquisition are booked as incurred expenses. Goodwill is an excess of:

(i) The consideration transferred; and
(ii) The fair value of net identifiable assets acquired.
--- ---

If the fair value of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets exceeds these amounts, before recognizing profit, the Company reassesses whether it has correctly identified all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, reviewing the procedures employed to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the assessment still results in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired in relation to the total consideration transferred, gain from a bargain purchase is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, under “Gain from business combination” within “Other operating income”.

When the settlement of any cash consideration is deferred, the future amounts payable is discounted at their present value at the exchange date. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained under comparable terms and conditions.

Contingent consideration will be recognized at its fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is classified as equity or as a financial liability. The amounts classified as a financial liability are remeasured at fair value with changes in fair value through the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

When the Company acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities incurred in relation to its adequate classification and designation according to contractual terms, economic circumstances and relevant conditions as of the acquisition date.

Oil reserves and resources acquired that may be measured reliably are recognized separately at fair value upon the acquisition.

Other potential reserves, resources and rights, which fair values cannot be measured reliability, are not recognized separately but are considered part of goodwill.

If the business combination is performed in stages, the previously held equity interest in the acquiree is measured at acquisition-date fair value. Profit or loss from such remeasurement is recognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The Company has a maximum period of 12 months from the date of acquisition to finalize the acquisition accounting. When it is incomplete as of the end of the year in which the business combination takes place, the Company reports provisional amounts.

As detailed in Note 1.2.2 and 29, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 the Company recognized the acquisition of Vista Lach as a business combination (“Business Combination”).

2.5 Regulatory framework

A- Argentina

2.5.1 Changes in the foreign exchange framework

On April 11, 2025, the Central Bank of Argentina (“BCRA” by Spanish acronym) published a series of measures to loosen foreign exchange regulations, including:

(i) Establishing fluctuation bands within which the market value of the USD may range between 1,000 Argentine Pesos<br>(“ARS”) and ARS 1,400, with the caps to be increased by 1% every month;
(ii) Removing the Export Increase Program for settling exports (see Note 2.5.2 to the annual financial statements as<br>of December 31, 2024);
--- ---
(iii) Authorizing profit distribution to foreign shareholders for fiscal years beginning as from 2025;<br>
--- ---
(iv) Relaxing the payment terms for foreign trade transactions;
--- ---
(v) Lifting the 90-day restriction set by Communiqué “A”<br>7340 applicable to companies.
--- ---

2.5.2 Gas market

2.5.2.1 Argentine promotion plan to stimulate natural gas production (“Gas IV Plan”)

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company received a net amount of 1,975 and 2,387, respectively.

As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the receivables related to such plan stand at 4,448 and 3,007, respectively (Note 15).

Other than mentioned above, there have been no significant changes in Argentina’s regulatory framework for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 (see Note 2.5 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024).

B- Mexico

2.5.3 Exploration and production activities regulatory framework

2.5.3.1 Energy Reform

On March 18, 2025, the Mexican government enacted a reform introducing new legislation related to: (i) the Law governing the State-Owned Public Company Law Petróleos Mexicanos (“Pemex”) and (ii) the Hydrocarbons Sector Law. This reform includes, among other measures, the following provisions:

(i) Hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation contracts previously signed with the Mexican State prior to the<br>enactment of the new legal provisions will remain effective and will continue to be governed by the terms and conditions under which they were originally granted, pursuant to laws and provisions in effect upon execution;
(ii) The management of these contracts, along with the regulatory and oversight powers related to hydrocarbon<br>exploration and extraction, have been fully centralized under Mexico’s Secretariat of Energy (“SENER”), which has assumed the roles and responsibilities of the former National Hydrocarbons Commission (“CNH”);<br>
--- ---
(iii) Regulations issued by regulatory authorities prior to the reform will remain in effect and continue to apply,<br>provided they do not conflict with the new legislation;
--- ---
(iv) Authorizations and permits previously granted to the upstream sector by the SENER, the CNH or the former Energy<br>Regulatory Commission (“CRE”) will remain valid and retain their legal effect.
--- ---
(v) The issuance, amendment, or termination of upstream sector authorizations or permits will now be subject to the<br>public policy established by the Mexican State through the SENER;
--- ---
(vi) All subsidiary production companies of Pemex have been merged into the latter. The agreements entered into by<br>these dissolved companies will remain in force and continue to have the same effects under the originally agreed-upon terms and conditions.
--- ---

Likewise, the exploration and extraction activities will be carried out under three methods:

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

(i) Allocations for own development, which will be exclusively owned by Pemex, making it the sole operator.<br>However, Pemex may enter into service provision contracts with third parties, provided that such agreements aim to maximize productivity and profitability, and that the consideration is paid in cash.
(ii) Mixed-use development allocations, which may be granted by SENER. This<br>plan allows private investment in projects operated by Pemex, provided that the latter maintains at least a 40% interest.
--- ---
(iii) E&P agreements, which may be entered into by the SENER only in exceptional cases if Pemex either refuses or<br>is unable to carry out hydrocarbon development under the aforementioned plans. These contracts may be service agreements, production- or profit-sharing agreements, or licensing agreements.
--- ---

The Energy Reform also involved an administrative reorganization, under which the responsibilities of the CNH and the CRE were transferred to the SENER and the newly established National Energy Commission (“CNE”). The SENER will oversee the regulation of the upstream sector.

Market Regulations

In February 2025, the Executive signed a voluntary agreement with Mexican gas station owners to cap the price of regular gasoline at Mexican Peso (“MXN”) 24 per liter for an initial six-month period. This measure aims to alleviate financial pressure on consumers.

The import and export of oil byproducts, petrochemicals and hydrocarbons, as well as their sale within Mexico are regulated activities subject to permits issued by the SENER. At present, in onshore projects, private operators sell their entire hydrocarbon production domestically to Pemex.

Other than mentioned above, there have been no significant changes in Mexico’s regulatory framework during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 (see Note 2.5 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024).

Note 3. Segment information

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “Committee” or “CODM”) is in charge of allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segment. It supervises operating profit (loss), and the performance of the indicators related to its oil and gas properties on an aggregate basis to make decisions regarding the location of resources, negotiate with international suppliers and determine the method for managing contracts with customers.

The CODM considers as a single segment the exploration and production of crude oil, natural gas and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (“LPG”) (including Exploration and Production commercial activities), through its own activities, subsidiaries and interests in joint operations and based on the nature of the business, customer portfolio and risks involved. The Company aggregated no segment as it has only one.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, the Company generated 99.64% and 0.36% of its revenues related to assets located in Argentina and Mexico, respectively. And for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, the Company generated 99.14% and 0.86% of its revenues related to assets located in Argentina and Mexico, respectively.

The accounting criteria used by the subsidiaries to measure profit or loss, assets and liabilities of the segments are consistent with those used in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following chart summarizes noncurrent assets per geographical area:

As of September 30, 2025 As of December 31, 2024

Note 10. Earnings per share

a) Basic

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s profit by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Period fromJanuary 1, throughSeptember 30, 2025 Period fromJanuary 1, throughSeptember 30, 2024 Period fromJuly 1, throughSeptember 30, 2025 Period fromJuly 1, throughSeptember 30, 2024
Profit for the period, net 633,368 383,750 315,286 165,459
Weighted average number of ordinary shares 101,903,171 96,135,727 104,896,801 95,745,288
Basic earnings per share **** 6.215 **** **** 3.992 **** **** 3.006 **** **** 1.728 ****
b) Diluted
--- ---

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s profit by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, plus the weighted average of dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Potential ordinary shares will be considered dilutive when their conversion to ordinary shares may reduce earnings per share or increase losses per share. They will be considered antidilutive when their conversion to ordinary shares may result in an increase in earnings per share or a reduction in loss per share.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not involve a conversion; the exercise or other issue of shares that may have an antidilutive effect on loss per share, or when the exercise price is higher than the average price of ordinary shares during the period, no dilution effect is booked, as diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share.

Period fromJanuary 1, throughSeptember 30, 2025 Period fromJanuary 1, throughSeptember 30, 2024 Period fromJuly 1, throughSeptember 30, 2025 Period fromJuly 1, throughSeptember 30, 2024
Profit for the period, net 633,368 383,750 315,286 165,459
Weighted average number of ordinary shares<br>^(1)^ 105,990,422 99,863,026 108,404,281 99,557,121
Diluted earnings per share **** 5.976 **** **** 3.843 **** **** 2.908 **** **** 1.662 ****
^(1)^ As of September 30, 2025, the Company has 104,256,412 outstanding shares that cannot exceed 106,078,535<br>shares.
--- ---

Likewise, in accordance with IFRS accounting standards the average number of ordinary shares with a potential dilutive effect amounts to 105,990,422.

Due to the short-term nature of current trade and other receivables, it carrying amount is considered similar to its fair value. The fair values of noncurrent trade and other receivables do not differ significantly from it carrying amounts either.

As of September 30, 2025, in general, accounts receivable has a 17-day term for sales of crude oil and a 45-day term for sales of natural gas and LPG.

The Company sets up a provision for trade receivables when there is information showing that the debtor is facing severe financial difficulties and that there is no realistic probability of recovery, for example, when the debtor goes into liquidation or files for bankruptcy proceedings. Trade receivables that are derecognized are not subject to compliance activities. The Company recognized an allowance for expected credit losses against all trade receivables that are 90 days past due because based on its history these receivables are generally not recovered.

As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the provision for expected credit losses was recorded for 74 and 41 respectively.

As of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, maximum exposure to credit risk is related to the carrying amount of each class of accounts receivable.

16.4 Fair value

This note includes information on the Company’s method for assessing the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities.

16.4.1 Fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The Company classifies the measurements at fair value of financial instruments using a fair value hierarchy, which shows the relevance of the variables applied to carry out these measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: data other than the quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for assets or<br>liabilities, either directly (that is prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices).
--- ---
Level 3: data on the asset or liability that are based on information that cannot be observed in the market (that<br>is, non-observable data).
--- ---

The following chart shows the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

As of September 30, 2025 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Assets
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Plan assets 2,786 2,786
Short-term investments 95,275 95,275
Total assets **** 98,061 **** **** **** **** **** **** 98,061 ****
As of December 31, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Assets
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Short-term investments 124,065 124,065
Total assets **** 124,065 **** **** **** **** **** **** 124,065 ****

The value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices as of the date of these accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. A market is considered active when quoted prices are available regularly through a stock exchange, a broker, a specific sector entity or regulatory agency, and these prices reflect regular and current market transactions between parties at arm’s length. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current offer price. These instruments are included in Level 1.

For financial instruments not traded in an active market, the fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data, when available, and minimize the use of Company’s specific estimates. Should all significant variables used to establish the fair value of a financial instrument be observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

Should one or more variables used in determining the fair value not be observable in the market, the financial instrument is included in Level 3.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 from December 31, 2024, through September 30, 2025.

16.4.2 Fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value (but require fair valuedisclosures)

Except for the information included in the following chart, the Company considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities recognized in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements approximate to its fair values, as explained in the related notes.

16.5 Risk management objectives and policies concerning financial instruments

16.5.1 Financial risk factors

The Company’s activities are exposed to several financial risks: market risk (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

Financial risk management is included in the Company’s global policies, and it adopts a comprehensive risk management policy focused on tracking risks affecting the entire Company. This strategy aims at striking a balance between profitability targets and risk exposure levels. Financial risks are derived from the financial instruments to which the Company is exposed during each period or as of every period-end.

The Company’s financial department, controls financial risk by identifying, assessing and covering financial risks. The risk management systems and policies are reviewed regularly to show the changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities.

The Company reviewed its exposure to financial risk factors and identified no significant changes in the risk analysis included in its annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024, except for the following:

16.5.1.1 Market risk

Exchange rate risk

The Company’s financial position and results of operations are sensitive to exchange rate changes between USD and ARS. As of September 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company performed foreign exchange currency transactions, and the impact in the results of the period is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss in “Other financial income (expense)”.

Most Company revenues are denominated in USD, or the changes in sales follow the changes in USD listed price.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, and for the year ended December 31, 2024, ARS depreciated by about 34% and 28%, respectively.

The following chart shows the sensitivity to a modification in the exchange rate of ARS to USD while maintaining the remainder variables constant. Impact on profit before taxes is related to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the USD, the Company’s functional currency. The Company’s exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates for the remainder currencies is immaterial.

As of September 30, 2025 As of December 31, 2024
Changes in exchange rate: +/- 10% +/- 10%
Effect on profit or loss before income taxes 213 / (213) 38,108 / (38,108)
Effect on equity before income taxes 213 / (213) 38,108 / (38,108)

Interest rate risk

The purpose of interest rate risk management is to minimize finance costs and limit the Company’s exposure to interest rate increases.

Variable-rate indebtedness exposes the Company’s cash flows to interest rate risk due to potential volatility. Fixed-rate indebtedness exposes the Company to interest rate risk on the fair value of its liabilities as they could be considerably higher than variable rates. As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, about 14% and 2% of indebtedness was subject to variable interest rates, respectively.

VISTA ENERGY, S.A.B. DE C.V.

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and for the nine-month periodsended September 30, 2025 and 2024

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, the average interest rate for borrowings in ARS was 38.08% and 42.37%, respectively.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, the total variable interest rate of borrowings denominated in USD stood at 7.98% and 7.42%, respectively.

The Company expects to lessen its interest rate exposure by analyzing and assessing (i) the different sources of liquidity available in domestic and international financial and capital markets (if available); (ii) alternative (fixed or variable) interest rates, currencies and contractual terms available for companies in a sector, industry and risk similar to the Company’s; and (iii) the availability, access and cost of interest rate hedge contracts. Hence, the Company assesses the impact on profit or loss of each strategy on the obligations that represent the main positions to the main interest-bearing positions.

The Company considers that the risk of an increase in interest rates is low; therefore, it does not expect substantial debt risk.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, and for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not use derivative financial instruments to mitigate interest rate risks.
