AleAnna, Inc. reports positive Adjusted EBITDA^[1] and net income for the fifth consecutive quarter

DALLAS, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AleAnna, Inc. ("AleAnna" or "the Company") (NASDAQ:ANNA) today announced financial and operational results for the second quarter of 2026. AleAnna reported net income of $3.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA^[1] of $4.1 million. AleAnna closed the period with a strong cash position of $32.6 million, supporting ongoing development activity and future strategic initiatives.

Financial and Operational Update

Following production ramp-up and stabilization at the Longanesi field during 2025, the Company recognized approximately $9.5 million of Conventional segment revenue during the second quarter of 2026 from sales of its share of production from the Longanesi field.

In the second quarter of 2026, the Company reported net income of $3.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA^[^1] of $4.1 million, compared to approximately $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in the same period of 2025.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company announced significant increases in Proved Reserves Volumes in its year-end 2025 Third-Party Reserves Report from DeGolyer and MacNaughton, which reported an increase of Total Proved Reserves by 47% as compared to year-end 2024 after adjusting for 2025 production volumes.

Longanesi production and development

The Company successfully commenced production from its Longanesi field during 2025. In the first six months of 2026, the field has continued to perform strongly, delivering solid production volumes and consistent operational performance.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026 construction activities continued on the permanent production facility for the Longanesi concession, which is being developed together with the joint venture partner and operator. The transition from the existing temporary production facilities to permanent production infrastructure represents an important milestone in the maturation of the concession and is expected to support its long-term development. Upon completion, the permanent facility is expected to improve production operations and provide a stronger foundation for the continued development of one of the Company's core assets.

Gradizza development

During the second quarter of 2026, AleAnna commenced construction activities at the Gradizza field development project, representing a significant milestone in the advancement of our Italian conventional natural gas portfolio. Gradizza is expected to become AleAnna's first wholly owned and operated production asset and reflects our strategy of increasing exposure to operated assets with long-term production potential. The commencement of construction follows the completion of key permitting and development activities, marking the transition of the project from the planning and authorization phase into execution. We believe the advancement of Gradizza further strengthens the portfolio of producing and development-stage assets and supports our objective of creating long-term value through the development of strategically positioned domestic natural gas resources.

Management Commentary

Marco Brun, Chief Executive Officer, commented on AleAnna’s recent accomplishments: "We continued to deliver strong financial results, generating approximately $4.1 million of Adjusted EBITDA¹, primarily driven by production from the Longanesi field. Since commencing production last year, Longanesi has continued to perform well, and the field remains on track to outperform our initial expectations.

At the same time, we continue to execute on our broader growth strategy. With a solid balance sheet, positive cash flow, and a growing asset base, we believe AleAnna is well-positioned to deliver sustainable long-term value for our shareholders. In the current energy environment, we also believe the Company is uniquely positioned to contribute to Italy's energy security through increased domestic natural gas production while creating meaningful value for our stakeholders."

Non-GAAP Performance Measures and Definitions

In addition to amounts presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we also present certain supplemental non-GAAP performance measures. We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides both management and investors with a greater understanding of the Company's operating results and trends in addition to the results measured in accordance with GAAP and provides greater comparability across time periods. These measures are not to be considered more relevant or accurate than the measures presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. In compliance with the requirements of the SEC, our non-GAAP measures are reconciled to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP performance measure. For all non-GAAP measures, neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on these non-GAAP measures.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are both non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before interest expense and other income, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization. The purpose of presenting EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is to highlight earnings without finance, taxes, and depreciation and depletion expense, as well as stock compensation and transaction expense, and its use is limited to specialized analysis. We adjust EBITDA for stock compensation and one-off activities such as the remeasurement of the asset retirement obligation to reach Adjusted EBITDA. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides useful additional information to investors for specialized analysis of our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance, such as transactions expenses, share-based compensation, and other non-recurring costs.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
