Kolibri’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Wolf Regener commented:
“We are excited to announce another Company record for highest quarterly revenue of $22.5 million which was an increase of 109% compared to the prior year quarter. Continuing to execute the Company’s strategy of growing production by converting our reserves into producing wells resulted in a 46% production increase. We also benefited from an increase in average prices of 41% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the prior year quarter. We generated Adjusted EBITDA (1) of $16.4 million which was a 114% increase from the prior year quarter.
“The Company has just completed drilling the last of the three Clifton Mack wells and expects to begin fracture stimulation operations this month with production expected during the end of the third quarter. As we previously disclosed, the geologic conditions in this area required additional casing strings, which increased the cost of these wells compared to our standard Caney well design. We believe the pressures we encountered are supportive of potential high production rates from these wells. The geologic conditions that were encountered in this southwest corner of our acreage position appear to be isolated to this area, and we anticipate using our normal Caney well design on future Caney wells.
“As we recently announced, we revised our strategy to target additional benches in our field while we continue to develop the lower Caney as we have in the past. We are excited to begin drilling the Lovina 8-5-1HF well, which will test the False Caney bench and will also be our first 2 mile lateral well. Successful results in these additional benches will have the potential to add many future drilling locations which would increase our reserves and thus value for our shareholders.”

Second Quarter 2026 versus Second Quarter 2025
Oil and gas gross revenues totaled $28.4 million in the quarter versus $13.8 million in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 106%. Oil revenues increased $14.0 million or 117% as average oil prices increased by 53% and oil production increased by 42%. Natural gas revenues decreased $0.8 million or 99%. In the second quarter of 2026, the Company’s gas purchaser reassessed prior period production quantities from natural gas to NGL production, which reduced natural gas production by 368 MCFPD and reduced natural gas gross revenue by $0.3 million. Natural gas liquids (NGLs) revenues increased $1.4 million or 139% as NGL production increased 96%. In the second quarter of 2026, the Company’s gas purchaser reassessed prior period production quantities from natural gas to NGL production which increased NGL production by 355 BOEPD and increased NGL gross revenue by $0.7 million.
Average production for the second quarter of 2026 was 4,690 BOEPD, an increase of 46% compared to the second quarter of 2025 average production of 3,220 BOEPD due primarily to production from the wells that were drilled in 2025. Second quarter production also increased by 294 BOEPD from reassessed prior period volume adjustments made by the Company’s gas purchaser which increased NGL production by 355 BOEPD and decreased natural gas production by 61 BOEPD for the second quarter of 2026. Second quarter production was reduced due to the temporary shut-in of the three Alicia Renee wells for approximately 30 days during the quarter. The shut-ins were implemented as a precautionary measure due to the close proximity of the Clifton Mack drilling. Prior to being shut in, the three wells were producing at a combined average rate of approximately 860 BOEPD. The Alicia Renee wells are currently expected to resume production once completion operations on the Clifton Mack wells are complete.
Oil made up 64% of the production mix in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 66% for the same period in 2025. The 64% oil mix in the second quarter was due to the reassessed prior period production quantities, which increased NGL production and reduced natural gas production, that was recorded in April 2026. In May and June 2026, the oil mix was 70%.
Production and operating expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $3.4 million compared to $1.7 million in the prior year comparable period. The increase was due to higher production compared to the prior year quarter and also due to workover costs on a non-operated well, which totaled $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2026. The increases were also due to temporary higher water hauling volumes from wells offsetting the wells that were fracked at the end of 2025 resulting in higher water hauling costs compared to the prior year period.
General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $1.6 million compared to $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 12%. The increase was due to higher consulting and legal costs in 2026 compared to the prior year quarter.
Finance income increased $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the prior year second quarter due to higher unrealized gains on commodity contracts in 2026.
Finance expense increased $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the prior year second quarter due to a realized loss on commodity contracts of $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2026 and higher interest expense as a result of an increase in the outstanding bank loan balance in 2026.
FIRST SIX MONTHS 2026 HIGHLIGHTS
(1)
Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP measure. Refer to the section entitled “Non-GAAP Measures” of this earnings release.
(2)
Netback from operations and netback including commodity contracts are considered non-GAAP ratios. Refer to the section entitled “Non-GAAP Measures” of this earnings release.
First Six Months of 2026 versus First Six Months of 2025
Oil and gas gross revenues totaled $53.0 million in the first six months of 2026 versus $34.8 million in the first six months of 2025, an increase of 52%. Oil revenues increased $17.8 million or 59% as average oil prices increased by 22% and production increased by 30%. Natural gas revenues decreased $0.6 million or 26% as average natural gas prices decreased by 23% and natural gas production decreased by 4%. NGL revenues increased $1.0 million or 38% as NGL production increased by 52% partially offset by a decrease in average NGL prices of 9%.
Average production for the first six months of 2026 was 4,688 BOEPD, an increase of 29% compared to the first six months 2025 average production of 3,646 BOEPD. The increases are due to production from the wells that were drilled and completed in 2025.
Production and operating expense was $6.3 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to $4.0 million for the same period of 2025, an increase of 59%. The increase was due to higher production compared to the prior year quarter and also due to workover costs on a non-operated well which totaled $0.5 million in the first six months of 2026. The increases were also due to temporary higher water hauling volumes from wells offsetting the wells that were fracked at the end of 2025 and thus resulted in higher water hauling costs compared to the prior year period.
Finance income decreased by $0.5 million for the first six months of 2026 due to realized and unrealized gains on commodity contracts in the first six months of 2025.
Finance expense decreased $3.1 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to the prior year comparable period due to realized and unrealized losses on commodity contracts in 2026 and higher interest expense as a result of an increase in the outstanding bank loan balance in 2026.

(2)
Netback from operations and netback including commodity contracts are considered non-GAAP ratios. Refer to the section entitled “Non-GAAP Measures” of this earnings release.
The information outlined above is extracted from and should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and the related management's discussion and analysis thereof, copies of which are available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
Netback from operations, netback including commodity contracts and adjusted EBITDA (collectively, the "Company’s Non-GAAP Measures") are not measures or ratios recognized under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. Management of the Company believes that such measures and ratios are relevant for evaluating returns on each of the Company's projects as well as the performance of the enterprise as a whole. The Company's Non-GAAP Measures may differ from similar computations as reported by other similar organizations and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures and ratios as reported by such organizations. The Company’s Non-GAAP Measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income, cash flows related to operating activities, working capital or other financial measures and ratios determined in accordance with IFRS, as an indicator of the Company's performance.
An explanation of the composition of the Company’s Non-GAAP Measures, how the Company’s Non-GAAP Measures provide useful information to an investor and the purposes for which the Company’s management uses the Non-GAAP Measures is set out in the management's discussion and analysis under the heading “Non-GAAP Measures” which is available under the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca and is incorporated by reference into this earnings release.
The following is the reconciliation of the non-GAAP ratio netback from operations to net income, which the Company considers to be the most directly comparable financial measure that is disclosed in the Company’s financial statements:

PRODUCT TYPE DISCLOSURE
This news release includes references to sales volumes of "oil", "natural gas", and “barrels of oil equivalent” or “BOEs”. “Oil” refers to light crude oil and medium crude oil combined, and "natural gas" refers to shale gas, in each case as defined by NI 51-101. Production from our wells, primarily disclosed in this news release in BOEs, consists of mainly oil and associated wet gas. The wet gas is delivered via gathering system and then pipelines to processing plants where it is treated and sold as natural gas and NGLs.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
In this news release and the Company’s other public disclosure:
(a)
The Company's natural gas production is reported in thousands of cubic feet ("Mcfs"). The Company also uses references to barrels ("Bbls") and barrels of oil equivalent ("Boes") to reflect natural gas liquids and oil production and sales. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.
(b)
Discounted and undiscounted net present value of future net revenues attributable to reserves do not represent fair market value.
(c)
Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.
(d)
The Company discloses peak and 30-day initial production rates and other short-term production rates. Readers are cautioned that such production rates are preliminary in nature and are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery.
Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This release contains forward-looking information including information regarding the proposed timing and expected results of exploratory and development work including production from the Company's Tishomingo field, Oklahoma acreage, projected increases in production and cash flow, adjusted EBITDA and net debt, the Company’s reserves based loan facility, including scheduled repayments, expected hedging levels and the Company’s strategy and objectives. The use of any of the words “target”, “plans”, "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "should", "believe" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Such forward-looking information is based on management’s expectations and assumptions, including that the Company's geologic and reservoir models and analysis will be validated, that indications of early results are reasonably accurate predictors of the prospectiveness of the shale intervals, that previous exploration results are indicative of future results and success, that expected production from future wells can be achieved as modeled, that declines will match the modeling, that future well production rates will be improved over existing wells, that rates of return as modeled can be achieved, that recoveries are consistent with management’s expectations, that additional wells are actually drilled and completed, that design and performance improvements will reduce development time and expense and improve productivity, that discoveries will prove to be economic, that anticipated results and estimated costs will be consistent with management’s expectations, that all required permits and approvals and the necessary labor and equipment will be obtained, provided or available, as applicable, on terms that are acceptable to the Company, when required, that no unforeseen delays, unexpected geological or other effects, equipment failures, permitting delays or labor or contract disputes are encountered, that the development plans of the Company and its co-venturers will not change, that the demand for oil and gas will be sustained or increase, that the Company will continue to be able to access sufficient capital through financings, credit facilities, farm-ins or other participation arrangements to maintain its projects, that the Company will continue in compliance with the covenants under its reserves-based loan facility and that the borrowing base will not be reduced, that funds will be available from the Company’s reserves based loan facility when required to fund planned operations, that the Company will not be adversely affected by changing government policies and regulations, social instability or other political, economic or diplomatic developments in the countries in which it operates and that global economic conditions will not deteriorate in a manner that has an adverse impact on the Company's business and its ability to advance its business strategy.
