HOUSTON, March 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Battalion Oil Corporation (NYSE American: BATL, “Battalion” or the “Company”) today announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter of 2025.
Key Highlights
- Generated full-year sales volumes of 12,096 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Boe/d”) (51% oil)
- Year-end 2025 proved reserves of approximately 59.7 million barrels of oil equivalent (“MMBoe”) with a standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows of approximately $343.5 million at SEC price deck ($66.01 WTI Oil, $3.39 HH Gas)
- Terminated GTA with AGI Facility; entered into a long-term agreement with large-cap midstream provider – achieved record throughput
- Production from core Monument Draw asset has increased by ~30% since early December 2025 with minimal capital investment due to increased gas treating capacity and reliability
- Completed the sale of our West Quito assets in February 2026 for net proceeds of $60.1 million (6.0 MMBoe, or approximately 10%, of our proved reserves at December 31, 2025)
- Prepaid $40.0 million in term loan debt during February 2026
- Closed a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor to sell shares of common stock and warrants for gross proceeds of $15.0 million in March 2026
- Closed an acquisition of neighboring oil and gas assets, comprising 7,090 net acres, in Ward County in an all-stock transaction, subject to customary post-closing adjustments in March 2026
Management Comments
The Company has made significant progress both operationally and strategically. Gathering and general and administrative expenses have been reduced on a $/Boe basis. The termination of the gas treating agreement (“GTA”) and subsequent negotiation of a new long-term treating agreement allowed for curtailed volumes to be brought online and have resulted in substantial enhanced production reliability. The sale of common stock in the private placement and recent acquisition of contiguous acreage and production using Company common stock as consideration displays the future growth potential of the Company.
“We are excited to have successfully completed the divestiture of our West Quito assets and for entry into the securities purchase agreement, both of which resulted in significant additional capital. The all-stock acquisition of oil and gas assets in Ward County allows us to consolidate our contiguous acreage in Monument Draw and better positions us to maximize returns from our holdings, especially now that we have a reliable, long-term gas treating arrangement in the area,” said Matt Steele, Chief Executive Officer of Battalion.
Results of Operations
Average daily net production and total operating revenue during the fourth quarter of 2025 were 11,207 Boe/d (48% oil) and $32.3 million, respectively, as compared to production and revenue of 12,750 Boe/d (55% oil) and $49.7 million, respectively, during the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in revenues in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 is primarily attributable to an $11.54 decrease per Boe in average realized prices (excluding the impact of hedges) as well as an approximate 1,543 Boe/d decrease in average daily production. Ceased operations at the AGI Facility and related curtailments resulted in a decrease in average daily production of approximately 4,300 Boe/d for the fourth quarter of 2025. This temporary curtailment has ended and production has resumed under our new long-term treating agreement. Excluding the impact of hedges, Battalion realized approximately 97% of the average NYMEX oil price during the fourth quarter of 2025. Realized hedge gains totaled approximately $9.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Lease operating and workover expense was $12.86 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2025 versus $11.26 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in lease operating and workover expense per Boe year-over-year is primarily the result of increased repairs and maintenance expenses and higher power costs combined with decreased production. Gathering and other expenses were $10.27 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2025 versus $10.45 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in gathering and other expenses per Boe is primarily related to progress made during 2025 at the central production facilities yielding lower labor and repair costs as well as increased throughput combined with favorable rates for treatment at alternative facilities once the AGI Facility ceased operations. General and administrative expenses were $4.42 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $6.04 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 is primarily due to lower merger and refinancing costs. Excluding non-recurring charges, general and administrative expenses would have been $2.84 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $3.21 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2024.
For the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company reported a net loss available to common stockholders of $12.5 million and a net loss of $0.76 per share available to common stockholders. After adjusting for selected items, the Company reported an adjusted diluted net loss available to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2025 of $19.2 million or an adjusted diluted net loss of $1.16 per common share (see Reconciliation for additional information). Adjusted EBITDA during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was $13.4 million as compared to $18.0 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 (see Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation table for additional information).
Liquidity and Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $208.1 million of term loan indebtedness outstanding and total liquidity made up of cash and cash equivalents of $28.0 million.
On February 24, 2026, we entered into the Third Amendment to our 2024 Amended Term Loan Agreement whereby the lenders consented to the transactions contemplated by the West Quito Divestiture sale agreement and we were required, upon receipt of the net cash proceeds from the West Quito Divestiture, to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the 2024 Amended Term Loan Agreement borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to $40.0 million. We may retain the remaining net cash proceeds received from the West Quito Divestiture, subject to certain reinvestment requirements, set forth in the Third Amendment.

___________________________
| (1) | Amount reflects net (loss) income available to common stockholders on a diluted basis for earnings per share purposes as calculated using the two-class method of computing earnings per share which is further described in Note 14, Earnings Per Share in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. | |
| (2) | Net (loss) income per share excluding selected items and cash flows from operations before changes in working capital adjusted for selected items are non-GAAP measures presented based on management’s belief that they will enable a user of the financial information to understand the impact of these items on reported results. These financial measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, earnings per share and cash flows from operations, as defined by GAAP. These financial measures may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP financial measures that other companies may use and may not be useful in comparing the performance of those companies to Battalion’s performance. | |
| (3) | The impact of selected items for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were calculated based upon weighted average diluted shares of 16.5 million due to the net (loss) income available to common stockholders, excluding selected items. | |
