Scorpio Tankers Inc. Prices Reopening of 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 and Concurrent Stock Repurchase

MONACO, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Scorpio Tankers Inc. (NYSE: STNG) (the “Company”) announced today that it priced a private offering (the “Offering”) of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional 1.75% convertible senior notes due 2031 (the “New Notes”). The offering size was increased from the announced offering size of $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of New Notes. The New Notes priced at 110.25% of par, plus accrued interest in the amount of approximately $1.56 per $1,000 principal amount of New Notes from, and including, April 10, 2026, to, but excluding May 12, 2026, and any additional accrued interest from May 12, 2026 if the settlement of the New Notes occurs after that date. The offering of New Notes resulted in gross proceeds of $220.5 million (before any exercise of the initial purchaser’s option to purchase additional New Notes), and a combined yield to maturity of approximately 1.0% for the aggregate series of New Notes and Initial Notes (as defined below). The New Notes will be sold only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The New Notes will be issued pursuant to the same indenture as the Company’s $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.75 % convertible senior notes due 2031 (the “Initial Notes” and, together with the New Notes, the “Notes”) issued on April 10, 2026 and will form a part of the same series of Notes as the Initial Notes. Although the New Notes will initially trade under a different Rule 144A CUSIP number than the Initial Notes, the Company expects that once de-legended, the New Notes will trade with the same CUSIP number as the Initial Notes. The Company also granted to the initial purchaser of the New Notes an option to purchase, during a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the first date on which the New Notes are issued, up to an additional $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of New Notes.

The Company has agreed to repurchase, concurrently with the closing of the Offering, 649,427 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) from purchasers of the New Notes in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through the initial purchaser or an affiliate, at a purchase price per share equal to the last reported sale price of $84.69 per share of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on May 7, 2026.

The Offering is expected to close on May 12, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes will mature on April 15, 2031, unless earlier converted or repurchased or redeemed by the Company. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2026. The interest payment to be made with respect to the New Notes on October 15, 2026, will include interest deemed to have accrued from, and including, April 10, 2026, and the offering price of the New Notes includes such accrued interest.

Prior to January 15, 2031, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only under certain circumstances and during certain periods. On or after January 15, 2031, holders may convert their Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, the Notes may be settled at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of the Company’s Common Stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. The initial conversion rate for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes is 9.9615 shares of Common Stock, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $100.39 per share. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after April 20, 2029 and on or before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. In addition, the Company will have the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes if certain changes in tax law occur and certain other conditions are satisfied. Except as described in the two immediately preceding sentences, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to the maturity date. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If certain corporate events that constitute a “fundamental change” occur, then, subject to limited exceptions, noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Notes for cash at a price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.

The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $216.3 million (excluding accrued interest) (or approximately $248.8 million (excluding accrued interest) if the initial purchaser exercises its option to purchase additional Notes in full), after deducting the initial purchaser’s discounts and commissions and the Company’s estimated Offering expenses. The Company intends to use (i) approximately $55.0 million of the net proceeds from the Offering to repurchase 649,427 shares of Common Stock as described above and (ii) the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes. The Company’s share repurchases could have increased, or prevented a decrease in, the market price of the Common Stock or the Notes.

The New Notes were only offered to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The New Notes and any shares of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the New Notes, have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor will there be any offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.

For example, all statements we make regarding the terms of the proposed public offering and the Repurchase are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by any forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: if reimbursement rates paid by third-party payors are reduced or if third-party payors otherwise restrain our ability to obtain or deliver care to patients, our business could be harmed; we may not grow at the rates we historically have achieved or at all, even if our key metrics may imply future growth, including if we are unable to successfully execute on our growth initiatives and business strategies; if we fail to manage our growth effectively, our expenses could increase more than expected, our revenue may not increase proportionally or at all, and we may be unable to execute on our business strategy; our growth depends on our ability to recruit, acquire and retain clinicians; we operate in a competitive industry, and if we are not able to compete effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be harmed; our business depends on our ability to effectively invest in, implement improvements to and properly maintain the uninterrupted operation and data integrity of our information technology and other business systems; we conduct business in a heavily regulated industry and if we fail to comply with these laws and government regulations, we could incur penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations or experience adverse publicity, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition; we are dependent on our relationships with supported practices, which we do not own, to provide health care services, and our business would be harmed if those relationships were disrupted or if our arrangements with these entities became subject to legal challenges; if we are unable to adapt to healthcare reform legislation and other changes in the healthcare industry and in healthcare spending, our business could be harmed; if our or our vendors’ security measures fail or are breached and unauthorized access to our employees’, patients’ or partners’ data is obtained, our systems may be perceived as insecure, we may incur significant liabilities, including through private litigation or regulatory action, our reputation may be harmed, and we could lose patients and partners; our existing indebtedness could adversely affect our business and growth prospects; and other risks and uncertainties set forth under “Risk Factors” included in the reports we have filed or will file with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and subsequent filings made with the SEC.

For the reasons described above, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements, which should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements included elsewhere in this press release and risk factors discussed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC, which can be found at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Any forward-looking statement in this presentation speaks only as of the date of this press release. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement after the date of this press release, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Message from Management

We begin 2026 with another quarter of solid execution, reflecting the consistency of our operating model and our ability to combine growth and cash generation while continuing to invest in Afya’s long-term strategic priorities. In the first quarter, our performance was once again supported by the strength of our Undergraduate segment, disciplined capital allocation and continued progress in expanding our physician-centric ecosystem.

During the quarter, we completed another successful intake cycle across our medical schools, maintaining 100% occupancy and achieving a 4.6% YoY increase in Medical School net average ticket, excluding acquisitions. This performance was supported by the strength of our academic offering, the effectiveness of our unified intake process, and the continued recognition of the Afya brand across Brazil. Revenue growth in the period also benefited from the continued maturation of medical seats and the contribution from recent seat authorization, and the acquisition of FUNIC. Our integrated model remains a key differentiator, helping us attract students and sustain efficient growth across our campuses

In Continuing Education and Medical Practice Solutions, we continued to advance the next phase of our strategy during the quarter. Both segments reflected higher investment levels, mainly in SG&A, product development and engagement initiatives. These investments are part of a broader strategic cycle aimed at strengthening Afya’s ecosystem and unlocking scalable long-term monetization. As our audience and engagement expand, we also reinforce our data advantage, improve users’ experience, and build stronger foundations for future B2P and B2B opportunities. At the same time, this more integrated ecosystem continues to support a structurally low customer acquisition cost in Undergraduate, reinforcing an important competitive advantage of our business model. In Continuing Education, this progress was reflected in the growth of Graduate Journey students and B2P revenue growth. In Medical Practice Solutions, we highlight the increase in Clinical Management active payers, together with B2B revenue growth

Our capital allocation remained disciplined throughout the quarter. We further reduced leverage, reinforcing the quality of our capital structure while advancing our strategic priorities and returning value to shareholders. Consistent with this approach, we continued to execute our share repurchase program authorized in 2025, which provides for the repurchase of up to 4,000,000 Class A common shares through December 31, 2026.Since the launch of the program, we have already repurchased over 50% of the total amount authorized. In addition, in March 2026, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of R$307.4 million, equivalent to 40% of Afya’s 2025 consolidated net income, corresponding to a dividend amount of US$0.656489 per share. Taken together, these actions underscore our commitment to prudent capital allocation, shareholder remuneration, and long-term value creation.

Looking ahead, we remain focused on executing with consistency, strengthening our ecosystem, and reinforcing Afya’s role as the partner of choice for physicians in Brazil. We believe that our disciplined investment cycle, combined with the strength of our balance sheet, positions us well to deepen engagement across the physician journey, support sustainable growth, and create long-term value for our shareholders.

1. Key Events in the Quarter

  • On February 6, 2026, MEC authorized an increase of 63 medical seats for ITPAC – Instituto Tocantinense Presidente Antonio Carlos Porto S.A. (“Afya Abaetetuba”), located in the city of Abaetetuba, in the state of Pará. With this authorization, Afya’s Abaetetuba campus will offer a total of 113 medical seats.

As Afya Cametá—an approved but, non-operating medical school—and Afya Abaetetuba are located within the same health region, Afya Cametá will not become operational, thereby creating the capacity that enabled the approval of 63 additional medical seats at Afya Abaetetuba. With this addition, Afya now has a total of 3,768 approved medical seats across its portfolio.

  • On March 12, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors approved dividend distribution in the amount of R$307.4 million, representing 40% of the Company’s consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 and a dividend per share of R$3.446838, paid in U.S. dollars on April 6, 2026, to the shareholders on record as of the close of business on March 25, 2026. The payment was made at the exchange rate (PTAX) published by the Brazilian Central Bank on March 13, 2026.

2. Subsequent Events

  • On May 5, 2026, Moody’s reaffirmed Afya’s credit rating at AAA.br and maintained a stable outlook. The reaffirmation of Afya’s AAA.br rating and stable outlook reflects revenue growth, a track record of above-industry-average margins, very strong credit metrics, exceptional cash generation, and robust liquidity. In addition, Afya’s credit profile reflects a strong competitive position and a predictable financial policy, including proactive liability management and prudent capital allocation, despite its appetite for M&As.

Revenue

Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was R$1,012.7 million, an increase of 8.2% over the same period in the prior year. Excluding acquisitions, Revenue for the three-month period increased by 7.7% YoY to R$1,008.4 million.

The quarter revenue increase was mainly due to higher tickets in medicine courses, the increase in non-medical undergraduate students, the acquisition of FUNIC, and the advancement of the Continuing Education Segment.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2026 increased by 4.0% to R$511.4 million, up from R$492.0 million in the same period of the prior year, with the Adjusted EBITDA Margin reducing by -200 basis points to 50.5%.

The reduction in Adjusted EBITDA Margin was primarily driven by higher costs and expenses in the Continuing Education and Medical Practice Solutions segments, mainly reflecting (a) lower gross margin compared with the first quarter of 2025; and (b) higher payroll, sales, and marketing expenses associated with the ongoing investment cycle in both segments.

Cash and Debt Position

As of March 31, 2026, Cash and Cash Equivalents totaled R$1,332.9 million, representing a 15.4% increase from March 31, 2025.

This reduction was achieved through solid Cash Flow from Operating Activities, despite the business combination with FUNIC, dividend payment, and Afya’s ongoing share repurchase program.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, Afya generated R$473.2 million in Cash Flow from Operating Activities, up from R$470.2 million in the same period of the previous year, an increase of 0.6% YoY. The Operating Cash Conversion Ratio reached 92.5%.

7. Forward – Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact could be deemed forward-looking, including risks and uncertainties related to statements about our competition; our ability to attract, upsell and retain students; our capacity to increase tuition prices; our ability to anticipate and meet the evolving needs of students and teachers; our capacity to source and successfully integrate acquisitions; as well as general market, political, economic, and business conditions. Additionally, these statements include financial targets such as revenue, share count and IFRS and non-IFRS financial measures including gross margin, operating margin, net income (loss) per diluted share, and free cash flow. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and undue reliance should not be placed on them.

The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this press release to reflect events or circumstances occurring after its publication, nor to incorporate new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. The achievement or success of the matters covered by such forward-looking statements involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize or if any of the assumptions prove incorrect, our results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements we make.

Readers should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements represent management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date they are made. Further information on these and other factors that could affect the Company’s financial results is included in filings made with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from time to time, including the section titled “Risk Factors” in the most recent annual report on Form 20-F. These documents are available in the SEC Filings section of the investor relations section of our website at: https://ir.afya.com.br/.

8. Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS accounting standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board—IASB, Afya presents Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Conversion Ratio which are non-GAAP financial measures, for the convenience of investors. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that intends to measure financial performance but excludes or includes amounts that would not be equally adjusted in the most comparable GAAP measure.

Afya calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus/minus net financial result, plus income taxes expense, plus depreciation and amortization, plus interest received on late payments of monthly tuition fees, plus share-based compensation, plus/minus income share associate, plus/minus non-recurring expenses/income. Operating Cash Conversion Ratio is calculated as the Cash flow from Operating Activities plus income taxes paid, minus/plus non-recurring expenses/income divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

The non-GAAP supplemental financial measures are provided with the intend to help investors in assessing the overall performance of Afya’s business regarding its core operations, cash generation and profitability. The non-GAAP financial measures described in this release are not substitutes for the IFRS measures. In addition, the calculations of Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Conversion Ratio are not standardized financial measures and may differ from the calculations used by other companies, including competitors in the education services industry, and therefore, Afya’s measures may not be comparable to those of other companies.

Genco Shipping & Trading Limited Issues Statement Regarding Diana’s Unsubstantiated Assertions

NEW YORK, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Genco Shipping & Trading Limited (NYSE:GNK) (“Genco” or the “Company”), the largest U.S. headquartered drybulk shipowner focused on the global transportation of commodities, issued the following statement:

We encourage shareholders to see Diana’s latest disclosure for what it is: more unsubstantiated falsehoods and misleading statements, designed to distract from the simple truth – Diana is trying to take control of your company at a discount to Genco’s asset value, without paying a control premium and below the current trading price. The Genco Board of Directors is committed to the highest standards of corporate governance and will continue to act in the best interests of our shareholders.

You can protect your Genco investment by ignoring Diana and voting “FOR” Genco’s highly qualified Board of Directors on the WHITE proxy card today.

Genco’s definitive proxy materials, as well as other shareholder resources regarding the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders can be found at www.GencoDrivesSuperiorReturns.com.

If you have any questions or require any assistance with voting your shares, please call or email Genco’s proxy solicitor:

Jefferies LLC is acting as financial advisor to Genco and Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer (US) LLP and Sidley Austin LLP are serving as legal counsel to Genco. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is acting as special advisor to the Board of Directors.

About Genco Shipping & Trading Limited

“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This release contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements use words such as “anticipate,” “budget,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of potential future events, circumstances or future operating or financial performance. These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current expectations and observations. Included among the factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements contained in this release are the following: (i) the Company’s plans and objectives for future operations; (ii) that any transaction based on Diana’s non-binding indicative proposal or otherwise may not be consummated at all; (iii) the ability of Genco and its shareholders to recognize the anticipated benefits of any such transaction; (iv) the exercise of the discretion of our Board regarding the declaration of dividends, including without limitation the amount that our Board determines to set aside for reserves under our dividend policy; and (v) other factors listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and subsequent reports on Form 8-K and Form 10-Q. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Our ability to pay dividends in any period will depend upon various factors, including the limitations under any credit agreements to which we may be a party, applicable provisions of Marshall Islands law and the final determination by the Board of Directors each quarter after its review of our financial performance, market developments, and the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The timing and amount of dividends, if any, could also be affected by factors affecting cash flows, results of operations, required capital expenditures, or reserves.  As a result, the amount of dividends actually paid may vary.

Total investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $78.8 million and $86.1 million, respectively. The decrease in total investment income was primarily due to a decline in base interest rates and tightening of credit spreads.

Net expenses before taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were $53.0 million and $43.0 million, respectively. Net expenses increased by $10.0 million, primarily driven by higher incentive fees due to the performance of the investment portfolio for the twelve quarters ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the twelve quarters ended December 31, 2025, as well as an increase in interest and other debt expenses.

ENDNOTES

1)

On October 12, 2020, we completed our merger (the “Merger”) with Goldman Sachs Middle Market Lending Corp. (“MMLC”). The Merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-50, Business Combinations — Related Issues. The consideration paid to MMLC’s shareholders was less than the aggregate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which resulted in a purchase discount (the “purchase discount”). The purchase discount was allocated to the cost of MMLC investments acquired by us on a pro-rata basis based on their relative fair values as of the closing date. Immediately following the Merger with MMLC, we marked the investments to their respective fair values and, as a result, the purchase discount allocated to the cost basis of the investments acquired was immediately recognized as unrealized appreciation on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. The purchase discount allocated to the loan investments acquired will amortize over the life of each respective loan through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded as unrealized appreciation on such loan acquired through its ultimate disposition. The purchase discount allocated to equity investments acquired will not amortize over the life of such investments through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity investments acquired and disposition of such equity investments at fair value, we will recognize a realized gain with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized appreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired.

 

 

As a supplement to our financial results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we have provided, as detailed below, certain non-GAAP financial measures to our operating results that exclude the aforementioned purchase discount and the ongoing amortization thereof, as determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures include i) Adjusted net investment income per share; ii) Adjusted net investment income after taxes; and iii) Adjusted net realized and unrealized gains (losses). We believe that the adjustment to exclude the full effect of the purchase discount is meaningful because it is a measure that we and investors use to assess our financial condition and results of operations. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. The aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

 

2)

The discussion of the investment portfolio excludes the investment, if any, in a money market fund managed by an affiliate of Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (the “Money Market Fund”). As of March 31, 2026, the Company had an investment of $2.5 million in the Money Market Fund.

 

3)

Total debt outstanding excludes netting of debt issuance costs of $14.3 million and $8.2 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Total debt outstanding also excludes cumulative hedging adjustments for those borrowings that are designated in a fair value hedging relationship of $(8.1) million and $(3.0) million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Starting in the third quarter of 2025, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to more closely align the interest rates of some of the Company’s fixed rate liabilities with its investment portfolio, which consists of predominately floating rate loans. The Company designated these interest rate swaps as the hedging instrument in a qualifying fair value hedge accounting relationship.

 

4)

The $0.32 per share Base Dividend is payable on or about July 28, 2026 to shareholders of record as of June 30, 2026.

 

5)

On February 26, 2025, we announced a distribution framework that is comprised of a quarterly base distribution declared in the relevant quarter and a variable supplemental distribution declared in the following quarter, subject to satisfaction of certain measurement tests and the approval of our Board.

 

 

As a supplement, we have provided a non-GAAP financial measure of our financial condition that adjusts the net asset value per share for the declared and unpaid supplemental distribution per share. We believe that the adjustment to the net asset value per share for the supplemental dividend is meaningful because it aligns the supplemental distribution to its relevant quarter earnings.

 

 

Although this non-GAAP financial measure is intended to enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, this non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. The aforementioned non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

 

6)

Amount rounds to less than 0.1%.

 

7)

The fixed versus floating composition has been calculated as a percentage of performing debt investments measured on a fair value basis, including income producing preferred stock investments and excludes investments, if any, placed on non-accrual status.

 

8)

Computed based on the (a) annual actual interest rate or yield earned plus amortization of fees and discounts on the performing debt and other income producing investments as of the reporting date, divided by (b) the total performing debt and other income producing investments (excluding investments on non-accrual) at amortized cost or fair value, respectively. This calculation excludes exit fees that are receivable upon repayment of the investment. Excludes the purchase discount and amortization related to the Merger.

 

9)

For a particular portfolio company, we calculate the level of contractual indebtedness net of cash (“net debt”) owed by the portfolio company and compare that amount to measures of cash flow available to service the net debt. To calculate net debt, we include debt that is both senior and pari passu to the tranche of debt owned by us but exclude debt that is legally and contractually subordinated in ranking to the debt owned by us. We believe this calculation method assists in describing the risk of our portfolio investments, as it takes into consideration contractual rights of repayment of the tranche of debt owned by us relative to other senior and junior creditors of a portfolio company. We typically calculate cash flow available for debt service at a portfolio company by taking net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the trailing twelve month period. Weighted average net debt to EBITDA is weighted based on the fair value of our debt investments and excludes investments where net debt to EBITDA may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk, such as cash collateralized loans and investments that are underwritten and covenanted based on recurring revenue.

 

 

For a particular portfolio company, we also compare that amount of EBITDA to the portfolio company’s contractual interest expense. We believe this calculation method assists in describing the risk of our portfolio investments, as it takes into consideration contractual interest obligations of the portfolio company. Weighted average interest coverage is weighted based on the fair value of our performing debt investments and excludes investments where interest coverage may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk, such as cash collateralized loans and investments that are underwritten and covenanted based on recurring revenue.

 

 

Median EBITDA is based on our debt investments and excludes investments where net debt-to-EBITDA may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk, such as cash collateralized loans and investments that are underwritten and covenanted based on recurring revenue.

 

 

Portfolio company statistics are derived from the financial statements most recently provided to us of each portfolio company as of the reported end date. Statistics of the portfolio companies have not been independently verified by us and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, investments where net debt-to-EBITDA may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk represented 13.7 and 14.2%, respectively, of total debt investments at fair value.

 

10)

The Company’s Revolving Credit Facility has debt outstanding denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars (“USD”). These balances have been converted to USD using applicable foreign currency exchange rates as of March 31, 2026. As a result, the Revolving Credit Facility’s outstanding borrowings and the available debt amounts may not sum to the total debt commitment amount.

 

11)

The ending net debt-to-equity leverage ratio is calculated by using the total borrowings net of cash and cash equivalents divided by equity as of March 31, 2026 and excludes unfunded commitments.

CALGARY, Alberta, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gran Tierra Energy Inc. (“Gran Tierra” or the “Company”) (NYSE American:GTE) (TSX:GTE) (LSE:GTE) announced the Company’s financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 (the “Quarter”) and provided revised 2026 guidance. All dollar amounts are in United States (“U.S.”) dollars and all reserves and production volumes are on an average working interest (“WI”) before royalties basis unless otherwise indicated. Production is expressed in barrels (“bbl”) of oil equivalent (“boe”) per day (“boepd” or “boe/d”) and are based on WI sales before royalties. For per boe amounts based on net after royalty (“NAR”) production, see Gran Tierra’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed May 7, 2026.

Message to Shareholders

Gary Guidry, President and Chief Executive Officer of Gran Tierra, commented: “Our performance for the Quarter reflects a strong start to 2026, with production meeting expectations and capital spending below plan, demonstrating disciplined execution across the business. With the completed disposition of our Simonette assets and the successful bond exchange, we are in a stronger financial position, well-equipped to support ongoing operations and the continued deleveraging of the balance sheet. We signed an Exploration, Development and Production Sharing Agreement with the State Oil Company of the Republic of Azerbaijan (“SOCAR”) and entered into a strategic partnership with Ecopetrol that is expected to unlock operational synergies and further enhance long-term value creation. Supported by these strategic developments and the evolving market environment, our revised 2026 guidance reflects a stronger outlook for free cash flow while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation. Looking forward, we remain focused on financial strength, generating free cash flow and reducing debt as we continue to deliver long-term value to shareholders.”

Revised 2026
Guidance
:

Gran Tierra is revising its previously announced 2026 guidance to reflect changes in market conditions and portfolio composition since the Company’s initial outlook was issued in December 2025. The updated guidance incorporates the impact of the following:

  • higher commodity price assumptions;
  • changes in realized differentials;
  • the completed disposition of the Simonette asset;
  • the addition of the Tisquirama block through the previously announced joint venture with Ecopetrol; and
  • the effect of additional commodity hedges entered into subsequent to the original guidance.

While higher commodity prices have improved the market backdrop since December 2025, the benefit to forecasted free cash flow has been partially offset by the addition of incremental hedges, the loss of Simonette production volumes and incremental capital associated with portfolio additions. At the price forecasted below, Gran Tierra forecasts hedging losses of $70 – $72 million for 2026. The revised outlook reflects Gran Tierra’s focus on maximizing free cash flow generation through disciplined capital spending while maintaining operational flexibility in a changing market environment.

*Canada’s production is comprised of approximately 48% natural gas, 18% oil and 34% natural gas liquids (“NGL”)

Key Highlights of the Quarter:

  • Production: Gran Tierra’s total average WI production was 45,497 boepd, which was 2% lower than fourth quarter 2025 (“the Prior Quarter”) and 2% lower than the first quarter of 2025. The slight decreases in production from both comparative periods is attributable to the timing of waterflood optimization responses in Colombia and the sale of Simonette assets in Canada, partially offset by higher than anticipated production results from the Conejo wells in the Charapa Block and additional production from the Perico Block in Ecuador acquired in December 2025.
  • Net Loss: Gran Tierra incurred a net loss of $119 million or $3.38 per share3 basic and diluted, compared to a net loss of $141 million in the Prior Quarter and a net loss of $19 million or $0.54 per share3 basic and diluted in the first quarter of 2025. The net loss was primarily driven by non-cash items including unrealized market to market hedging loss of $77 million, $20 million of stock-based compensation resulting from higher share price at the end of the quarter and debt issuance cost amortization of $11 million resulting from the bond exchange.
  • Gross Profit

    4
    : The Company’s gross profit4 was approximately $37 million for the Quarter, which was up from approximately $1 million for the Prior Quarter and also increased compared to $28 million in the first quarter of 2025. On a per boe basis, our Gross Profit4 for the Quarter was $8.49 per boe, up from $0.22 in the Prior Quarter and up from $6.63 in the first quarter of 2025.
  • Operating Netback

    2

    : The Company’s operating netback2 was $23.28 per boe, up 33% from the Prior Quarter and up 2% from the first quarter of 2025 primarily as a result of higher oil prices recognized during the Quarter.
  • Adjusted EBITDA

    2

    : Adjusted EBITDA2 was $74 million compared to $52 million in the Prior Quarter and $85 million in the first quarter of 2025. Twelve-month trailing net debt(2)(5) to Adjusted EBITDA2 was 1.7 times and the Company continues to have a long-term target ratio of 1.0 times.
  • Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities: Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities was $173 million ($4.89 per share), up 10% from the Prior Quarter and up 136% from the first quarter of 2025.
  • Funds Flow from Operations

    2

    : Funds flow from operations2 was $43 million ($1.21 per share), up 60% from the Prior Quarter and down 23% from the first quarter of 2025.
  • Cash and Debt: As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a cash balance of $125 million, total gross debt of $606 million and net debt(2)(5) of $481 million. During the Quarter, Gran Tierra bought back $9.2 million in face value of the Company’s 9.75% Senior Notes due April 15, 2031. This represents a discount of 12% to the face value of the repurchased bonds.
  • Liquidity: In addition to the $125 million cash on hand as of March 31, 2026, the Company currently has approximately $54 million in undrawn availability in its credit and lending facilities.

Operational Update:

  • Colombia

    • During the Quarter, Gran Tierra successfully drilled the Raju-2 well, the final well from the Cohembi North Pad. Infill drilling subsequently commenced with the completion of the first of three planned wells from Cohembi Pad 6. Together, these two wells were drilled at a combined cost of $7.5 million, representing approximately 18% savings versus budget.
    • Initial well completions were carried out immediately following drilling operations on the Raju-2 and Cohembi-29 wells. The Company continued deploying an enhanced completion sequence alongside alternative technologies, driving further efficiencies and cost reductions.
  • Ecuador

    • Gran Tierra commenced water injection at the Chanangue J4 well in early February 2026, with an average injection rate of 511 bbls of water per day. The resulting production in Chanangue J2 has exceeded company expectations. While the initial forecast assumed a three-month lag before production impact, an uplift was observed within just two weeks of injection start.

Signed Exploration, Development and Production Sharing Agreement (“EDPSA”) with SOCAR

6

:

  • EDPSA provides significant access rights in a proven region, with access to established infrastructure and exposure to a contiguous basin trend supported by shared geology, legacy well control, and seismic data, providing clear exploration, appraisal, and development upside.
  • Azerbaijan is a world-class petroleum region anchored by some of the largest conventional oil and gas fields globally. The Contract Area surrounds an approximately 65-kilometer-long structure that has produced more than 100 million barrels of oil and more than 200 billion cubic feet of natural gas, underscoring the scale and quality of the petroleum system in Azerbaijan.
  • Allows Gran Tierra to leverage its proven expertise in exploration, appraisal, development, and optimization, pairing the Company’s core technical and operational capabilities with strategic access to European markets, and clear, capital-efficient development horizons.
  • Gran Tierra has secured a 65% WI and operatorship of the Contract Area, which equals approximately 0.4 million gross acres, more than two times our current acreage in Ecuador.
  • Gran Tierra’s EDPSA has five years for exploration and appraisal, and 25 years for development of any economic discoveries, with potential to extend development an additional five years.
  • The exploration period consists of an initial three-year phase followed by a second two-year phase. The initial phase includes the acquisition of a gravity study, the acquisition of 250 km² of 3D seismic and a commitment to drill two wells. Upon completion of the initial phase, the Company has the option to proceed into the second phase, which carries a further commitment to acquire an additional 250 km² of 3D seismic and drill two wells.
  • Gran Tierra expects to commence an airborne gravity study in 2026, with seismic acquisition and drilling activities planned to begin in 2027. These activities are expected to be funded by the Company’s forecasted net cash provided by operating activities.

Strategic Partnership with Ecopetrol:

  • During the Quarter, Gran Tierra entered into a strategic partnership with Ecopetrol, whereby the Company is expected to earn, subject to regulatory approvals and other conditions precedent, a 49% WI in the Tisquirama Block located in the Middle Magdalena Valley Basin of Colombia which contains the Tisquirama and San Roque fields. With existing assets in Acordionero serving as a direct analogue, operating these fields would allow the Company to manage the area as a single operating hub, improving efficiency and maximizing long-term value.

Bond Exchange:

  • During the Quarter, Gran Tierra issued $504 million in aggregate principal amount of its 9.750% Senior Secured Amortizing Notes due 2031 (the “9.75% Senior Notes”), with a structured amortization profile beginning in 2029 and paid $125 million in cash consideration in exchange for $629 million aggregate principal amount of its 9.500% Senior Secured Amortizing Notes due 2029. The exchange was accounted for as debt modification. With an 88% participation rate, the bond exchange reflected strong investor confidence in the Company’s capital structure strategy.

Audit Committee Concludes Investigation:

As disclosed in a Form 8-K filed by the Company on March 17, 2026, the Company’s Audit Committee has been conducting an independent investigation into an anonymous complaint.

Consistent with its charter, the Audit Committee takes seriously its responsibility to investigate matters within the scope of its duties. As such, the Audit Committee investigated the allegations in the complaint that it believed were in the scope of its responsibility. The Audit Committee took various steps to ensure that it would meet its fiduciary duties of loyalty, care and oversight in conducting the investigation. Such steps included seeking legal advice from external legal counsel and engaging throughout the entirety of the investigatory process independent legal counsel who conducted investigatory procedures. The engagements concluded under the direction and oversight of the Audit Committee. Following the engagements and multiple meetings and deliberations of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee concluded that, subject to undertaking certain process improvements, all of which have been satisfactorily implemented by the Company, its investigation is complete.

Additional Key Financial Metrics:

  • Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures of $45 million were lower than the $53 million in the Prior Quarter and lower than the $95 million in the first quarter of 2025. During the Quarter, the Company spud three development wells in Colombia, with two development wells deemed producing and one development well deemed in-progress. Additionally, the Company spud three development wells in Canada pertaining to the Simonette Montney area, which was disposed of during the Quarter.
  • Oil Sales: Gran Tierra generated oil sales of $172 million, up 2% from the first quarter of 2025 due to a 3% increase in sales volumes and 5% increase in Brent price, offset by higher differentials. The higher sales volumes during the current quarter was driven by selling built-up oil inventory and selling production of the new Perico Block in Ecuador. Oil sales increased 32% from the Prior Quarter primarily due to a 24% increase in Brent price and a 12% increase in sales volumes as a result of higher sales volumes in Ecuador, partially offset by higher differentials.
  • South American Quality and Transportation Discounts: The Company’s average quality and transportation discounts per bbl in South America increased during the Quarter to $14.85 compared to $11.58 in the first quarter of 2025 and to $12.30 in the Prior Quarter, primarily due to the widening of field-level differentials and incremental high-cost trucking in Putumayo.

    • The Castilla oil differential per bbl was $9.67, up from $6.51 in the Prior Quarter and $5.34 in the first quarter of 2025 (Castilla is the benchmark for the Company’s Middle Magdalena Valley Basin oil production). The Vasconia differential per bbl was $5.91, up from $3.41 in the Prior Quarter, and $2.27 in the first quarter of 2025. The Ecuadorian benchmark, Oriente, per bbl was $8.17, down from $8.43 in the Prior Quarter and up from $7.65 in the first quarter of 2025. The current7 differentials are approximately $6.60 per bbl for Castilla, $0.40 per bbl for Vasconia, and $0.70 per bbl premium for Oriente indicating improved realized pricing conditions.
    • During the Quarter, the Company had two liftings in Ecuador compared to one in the Prior Quarter. The Company sales price is the average Brent price less discounts for the month prior to lifting (M-1). During the Quarter, the Company sold its January lifting for the average December Brent price and the March lifting was sold at the average February Brent price. The impact of the M-1 pricing lowered revenue by approximately $16 million compared to the average Brent price for the Quarter. During the Month of May, the Company is expected to sell its Ecuador lifting of approximately 420,000 bbls of oil for net revenue of approximately $44 million.
  • Operating Expenses: On a per boe basis, operating expenses decreased by 3% when compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to $1.14 per boe lower workover activities, which were partially offset by $0.21 per boe higher lifting costs associated with inventory fluctuations. Total operating expenses increased by 16% to $66 million compared to the Prior Quarter primarily due to the recognition of operating costs previously capitalized to inventory in the Prior Quarter, as those barrels were sold in the current period which does not reflect an increase in the underlying operating cost structure. Total operating expenses decreased by 1% compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to lower workover activities, lower power generation and field personnel costs associated with head count optimization, partially offset by higher inventory fluctuation due to the sale of built-up oil inventory at the end of the Prior Quarter.
  • Transportation Expenses: The Company’s transportation expenses increased by 44% to $5.3 million, compared to the Prior Quarter’s transportation expenses of $3.7 million, and increased by 17% compared to the first quarter of 2025. Transportation expenses increased due to a higher sales volume of 944,000 bbls transported in Ecuador during the Quarter, compared to sales volumes of 398,000 bbls in the Prior Quarter and 439,000 bbls in the first quarter of 2025.
  • Gener
    al and Administrative (“G&A”) Expenses: G&A expenses before stock-based compensation were $3.51 per boe, a decrease from $4.26 per boe in the Prior Quarter due to headcount optimization and higher sales volumes. G&A expenses before stock-based compensation during the Quarter increased from $2.81 per boe in the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to higher consulting costs attributable to optimization projects.
  • Cash Netback

    2
    : Cash netback2 per boe increased to $9.91, compared to $6.81 in the Prior Quarter primarily due to a higher operating netback as a result of a higher realized price during the Quarter. Cash netback2 per boe decreased by $3.14 from $13.05 per boe in the first quarter of 2025, primarily attributable to higher G&A expenses incurred and higher losses realized on derivative instruments settled during the Quarter.

1 Gran Tierra’s first quarter total company average quarterly production includes the removal of Simonette production as of March 10, 2026.



2 Operating netback, earnings before interest, taxes and depletion, depreciation and accretion (“DD&A”) (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, funds flow from operations, net debt, free cash flow, and cash netback, are non-GAAP measures and do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP. Cash flow refers to the GAAP line item “net cash provided by operating activities”. Refer to “Non-GAAP Measures” in this press release for descriptions of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.



3 Weighted average shares outstanding based on March 31, 2026 balance of 35,299,842 shares (basic and diluted) and March 31, 2025 balance of 35,777,367 shares (basic and diluted).



4 Gross profit is calculated as oil, gas and NGL sales, less operating and transportation expenses, and depletion and accretion related to producing assets.



5 Net Debt is based on $606 million outstanding of Senior Notes less $125 million of cash and cash equivalents as at March 31, 2026.



6 Certain information in this section may constitute “analogous information” as defined in NI 51-101. Refer to “Presentation of Oil and Gas Information – Analogous Information”.



7 Gran Tierra’s second quarter-to-date 2026 total average differentials are for the period from April 1 to April 30, 2026.



8 Depletion and Accretion is calculated as DD&A expenses less depreciation of administrative assets.



9 Per boe amounts are based on WI sales before royalties. For per boe amounts based on NAR production, see Gran Tierra’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 7, 2026.



10 Ecuador oil sales are priced on an “M-1” basis, a pricing convention whereby the realized price for volumes lifted in a given month is determined by reference to the average Brent crude oil price of the immediately preceding calendar month, rather than the month in which lifting occurs.

Forward Looking Statements and Advisories:

This press release contains opinions, forecasts, projections, and other statements about future events or results that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and financial outlook and forward looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking statements”), which can be identified by such terms as “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “target”, “outlook”, “can,” “will,” “should,” “guidance,” “forecast,” “signal,” “measures taken to” and “believes”, derivations thereof and similar terms identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the Company’s capital budget amount and uses; the Company’s strategies related to exploration, drilling and operation activities; expectations regarding reservoir prospects and production amounts; future well results (including initial oil and natural gas production rates and productive capacity based on past performance); expected future net cash provided by operating activities (described in this press release as “cash flow”), free cash flow, operating netback, EBITDA and certain associated metrics; anticipated capital expenditures, including the location and impact of capital expenditures; operating and general and administrative costs; production guidance for 2026; and the Company’s expectations as to debt repayment, , hedging and its positioning for 2026 and beyond. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release reflect several material factors and expectations and assumptions of Gran Tierra including, without limitation, that Gran Tierra will continue to conduct its operations in a manner consistent with its current expectations, the accuracy of testing and production results and seismic data, pricing and cost estimates (including with respect to commodity pricing and exchange rates), and the general continuance of current or, where applicable, assumed operational, regulatory and industry conditions in Canada, Colombia and Ecuador and areas of potential expansion, and the ability of Gran Tierra to execute its business and operational plans (including any debt repayment plan) in the manner currently planned. Gran Tierra believes the material factors, expectations and assumptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable at this time, but no assurance can be given that these factors, expectations and assumptions will prove to be correct.

Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements in this press release are: certain of Gran Tierra’s operations are located in South America and unexpected problems can arise due to guerilla activity, strikes, local blockades or protests; technical difficulties and operational difficulties may arise which impact the production, transport or sale of Gran Tierra’s products; other disruptions to local operations; global and regional changes in the demand, supply, prices, differentials or other market conditions affecting oil and gas, including inflation and changes resulting from a global health crisis, geopolitical events, including the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East and Venezuela, or from the imposition or lifting of crude oil production quotas or other actions that might be imposed by OPEC and other producing countries and resulting company or third-party actions in response to such changes; changes in commodity prices, including volatility or a prolonged decline in these prices relative to historical or future expected levels; the risk that current global economic and credit conditions may impact oil and natural gas prices and oil and natural gas consumption more than Gran Tierra currently predicts, which could cause Gran Tierra to further modify its strategy and capital spending program; prices and markets for oil and natural gas are unpredictable and volatile; the effect of hedges; the accuracy of productive capacity of any particular field; geographic, political and weather conditions can impact the production, transport or sale of Gran Tierra’s products; the ability of Gran Tierra to execute its business plan, which may include acquisitions, and realize expected benefits from current or future initiatives; the risk that unexpected delays and difficulties in developing currently owned properties may occur; the ability to replace reserves and production and develop and manage reserves on an economically viable basis; the accuracy of testing and production results and seismic data, pricing and cost estimates (including with respect to commodity pricing and exchange rates); the risk profile of planned exploration activities; the effects of drilling down-dip; the effects of waterflood and multi-stage fracture stimulation operations; the extent and effect of delivery disruptions, equipment performance and costs; actions by third parties; the timely receipt of regulatory or other required approvals for Gran Tierra’s operating activities; the failure of exploratory drilling to result in commercial wells; unexpected delays due to the limited availability of drilling equipment and personnel; volatility or declines in the trading price of Gran Tierra’s common stock or bonds; the risk that Gran Tierra does not receive the anticipated benefits of government programs, including government tax refunds; Gran Tierra’s ability to comply with financial covenants in its credit agreement and indentures and make borrowings under its credit agreement; and the risk factors detailed from time to time in Gran Tierra’s periodic reports filed with the SEC, including, without limitation, under the caption “Risk Factors” in Gran Tierra’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed on March 4, 2026 and its other filings with the SEC. These filings are available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and UK regulatory filings are available on the National Storage Mechanism website at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on certain assumptions made by Gran Tierra based on management’s experience and other factors believed to be appropriate. Gran Tierra believes these assumptions to be reasonable at this time, but the forward-looking statements are subject to risk and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Gran Tierra’s control, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward looking statements. The risk that the assumptions on which the 2026 outlook are based prove incorrect may increase the later the period to which the outlook relates. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this press release and the fact that this press release remains available does not constitute a representation by Gran Tierra that Gran Tierra believes these forward-looking statements continue to be true as of any subsequent date. Actual results may vary materially from the expected results expressed in forward-looking statements. Gran Tierra disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by applicable law. In addition, historical, current and forward-looking sustainability-related statements may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the future. Gran Tierra’s forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

The estimates of future production, EBITDA, net cash provided by operating activities (described in this press release as “Cash Flow”), Free Cash Flow, capital expenditures, budgeted costs, realized prices, operating and transportation expenses, and operating netback may be considered to be future-oriented financial information or a financial outlook for the purposes of applicable Canadian securities laws. Financial outlook and future-oriented financial information contained in this press release about prospective financial performance, financial position or cash flows are provided to give the reader a better understanding of the potential future performance of the Company in certain areas and are based on assumptions about future events, including economic conditions and proposed courses of action, based on management’s assessment of the relevant information currently available, and to become available in the future. In particular, this press release contains projected operational and financial information for 2026. These projections contain forward-looking statements and are based on a number of material assumptions and factors set out above. Actual results may differ significantly from the projections presented herein. The actual results of Gran Tierra’s operations for any period could vary from the amounts set forth in these projections, and such variations may be material. See above for a discussion of the risks that could cause actual results to vary. The future-oriented financial information and financial outlooks contained in this press release have been approved by management as of the date of this press release. Readers are cautioned that any such financial outlook and future-oriented financial information contained herein should not be used for purposes other than those for which it is disclosed herein. The Company and its management believe that the prospective financial information has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management’s best estimates and judgments, and represent, to the best of management’s knowledge and opinion, the Company’s expected course of action. However, because this information is highly subjective, it should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results.

Non-GAAP Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures as further described herein. These non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP. Investors are cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. Gran Tierra’s method of calculating these measures may differ from other companies and, accordingly, they may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Each non-GAAP financial measure is presented along with the corresponding GAAP measure so as to not imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure.

Net Debt, as presented as at March 31, 2026 is comprised of $584 million (gross) of long-term senior notes outstanding and $22 million (gross) of senior notes outstanding less cash and cash equivalents of $125 million, prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that net debt is a useful supplemental measure for management and investors in order to evaluate the financial sustainability of the Company’s business and leverage. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is total debt.

Operating netback, as presented, is defined as gross profit less depletion and accretion related to producing assets. Operating netback per boe, as presented, is defined as operating netback over WI sales volume. See the table entitled Financial and Operational Highlights above for the components of consolidated operating netback and corresponding reconciliation.

Cash netback, as presented, is most directly comparable to gross profit and is calculated as gross profit adjusted for depletion and accretion related to producing assets, cash G&A expenses, other taxes, severance expenses, realized foreign exchange gains or losses, cash settlement on derivative instruments, interest expense (excluding amortization of debt issuance costs, non-cash interest, and senior notes exchange fees), interest income, other cash gains or losses, net lease payments, and current income tax expense or recovery. Cash netback per boe, as presented, is defined as cash netback over WI sales volumes. Management believes that operating netback and cash netback are useful supplemental measures for investors to analyze financial performance and provide an indication of the results generated by Gran Tierra’s principal business activities prior to the consideration of other income and expenses. See the table entitled Financial and Operational Highlights above for the components of operating netback and operating netback per boe. A reconciliation from gross profit to cash netback is as follows:

EBITDA, as presented, is defined as net income or loss adjusted for DD&A expenses, interest expense, and income tax expense or recovery. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, is defined as EBITDA adjusted for asset impairment, severance expenses, non-cash lease expense, lease payments, foreign exchange gains or losses, stock-based compensation expense or recovery, unrealized derivative instruments gains or losses, and other non-cash gains or losses. Management uses this supplemental measure to analyze performance and income generated by our principal business activities prior to the consideration of how non-cash items affect that income, and believes that this financial measure is a useful supplemental information for investors to analyze our performance and our financial results. A reconciliation from net income or loss to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) $ 73,935   $ 85,162     $ 52,473  
         

Funds flow from operations, as presented, is defined as net income or loss adjusted for DD&A expenses, asset impairment, deferred tax expense or recovery, stock-based compensation expense or recovery, amortization of debt issuance costs, Senior Notes exchange fees, non-cash interest, non-cash lease expense, lease payments, unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses, unrealized derivative instruments gains or losses, and other non-cash gains or losses. Management uses this financial measure to analyze performance and income or loss generated by our principal business activities prior to the consideration of how non-cash items affect that income or loss, and believes that this financial measure is also useful supplemental information for investors to analyze performance and our financial results. Free cash flow, as presented, is defined as funds flow from operations adjusted for capital expenditures. Management uses this financial measure to analyze cash flow generated by our principal business activities after capital requirements and believes that this financial measure is also useful supplemental information for investors to analyze performance and our financial results. A reconciliation from net income or loss to funds flow from operations and free cash flow is as follows:

Presentation of Oil and Gas Information

Boes have been converted on the basis of six thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”) natural gas to 1 boe of oil. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 boe is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. In addition, given that the value ratio based on the current price of oil as compared with natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalent of six to one, utilizing a boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 boe would be misleading as an indication of value.

References to a formation where evidence of hydrocarbons has been encountered is not necessarily an indicator that hydrocarbons will be recoverable in commercial quantities or in any estimated volume. Gran Tierra’s reported production is a mix of light crude oil and medium heavy crude oil, tight oil, conventional natural gas, shale gas and natural gas liquids for which there is no precise breakdown since the Company’s sales volumes typically represent blends of more than one product type. Well test results should be considered as preliminary and not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. Well log interpretations indicating oil and gas accumulations are not necessarily indicative of future production or ultimate recovery. If it is indicated that a pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has not been carried out, any data disclosed in that respect should be considered preliminary until such analysis has been completed. References to thickness of “oil pay” or of a formation where evidence of hydrocarbons has been encountered is not necessarily an indicator that hydrocarbons will be recoverable in commercial quantities or in any estimated volume.

This press release contains certain oil and gas metrics, including operating netback and cash netback, which do not have standardized meanings or standard methods of calculation and therefore such measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies and should not be used to make comparisons. These metrics are calculated as described in this press release and management believes that they are useful supplemental measures for the reasons described in this press release.

Such metrics have been included herein to provide readers with additional measures to evaluate the Company’s performance; however, such measures are not reliable indicators of the future performance of the Company and future performance may not compare to the performance in previous periods.

Certain information in this press release may constitute ‘‘analogous information’’ as defined in NI 51-101, including, but not limited to, information relating to operations and oil and gas activities in Azerbaijan. Gran Tierra believes this information is relevant as it provides general information about the oil and gas activities in such basins where the Company is active. GTE is unable to confirm that the analogous information was prepared by an independent qualified reserves evaluator or auditor, or if the analogous information was prepared in accordance with the COGEH. Such information is not an estimate of reserves or production attributable to lands held or to be held by GTE and there is no certainty that the reserves and production data for the lands held or to be held by GTE will be similar to the information presented herein. The reader is cautioned that the data relied upon by GTE may be in error and/or may not be analogous to such lands to be held by GTE.
