Jason Stabell, Epsilon’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Over the past eight months, Epsilon has undergone a significant transformation. We have expanded from a non-operator into a diversified operator/non-operator hybrid with development activities spanning multiple basins. Importantly, this transition has been executed successfully, with projects progressing ahead of schedule and on budget as our team continues to deliver against our objectives.

The operational momentum we have built gives us the confidence to provide production and capital expenditure guidance for the first time. At the midpoint of our guidance, we expect full-year oil production of approximately 1,800 barrels per day and third-quarter oil production growth of over 25% sequentially, reflecting the impact of recent investments as they begin to contribute meaningfully to production and cash flow.

Based on our planned development activities across our three core operating areas, and the flexibility to allocate capital between oil and gas opportunities, we believe Epsilon has established a foundation for sustained, multi-year production and cash flow growth while maintaining a conservative leverage profile. Supported by a high-quality inventory of development opportunities and disciplined capital allocation, we are well positioned to compound long-term shareholder value."

Quarter Details:

Epsilon’s capital expenditures were $8.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

The Company successfully completed 2 gross (0.7 net) Niobrara DUCs in the Powder River Basin in early July. The wells were put on production in July and are performing above expectations.

The Company participated in the drilling of 5 gross (0.4 net) wells in the Marcellus in April. The wells are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter, with production online in December.

The Company participated in the completion of 1 gross (0.25 net) well in the Permian Basin, the ninth well in the Ector Co. project and the first 3-mile Barnett well. The well was put on production in June and is performing in line with expectations.

Production from Q2 2026 activity will have a larger contribution to results in the second half of the year, starting in the third quarter.

Marcellus production was down 16% quarter over quarter due to a planned suction pressure increase in the Auburn Gas Gathering System in May that caused a temporary drop in production during the quarter (in addition to natural well declines). The suction pressure uplift increases the throughput capacity on the system for future development.

Powder River Basin production was down 11% quarter over quarter, due to field optimization activities and offset completions (in addition to natural well declines).

Permian production was flat quarter over quarter, due to the new well volumes online in June.

The Auburn Gas Gathering System (Epsilon is a 35% owner) gathered and delivered 7.7 Bcf gross of natural gas volumes during the quarter, or 85 MMcf/d.

The quarter included $0.8 million of G&A cost associated with former Peak employees who are on transition services contracts. The full year cost will be approximately $1.5 million, $1.3 million has been incurred in the first half of the year. These costs will not be carried into 2027.

On May 4, 2026, the Company closed the sale of certain overriding royalty interests (ORRIs) in Susquehanna Co, Pennsylvania to an undisclosed private buyer for $3.9 million. The assets covered 940 gross acres and 90 producing Marcellus wells with an average net revenue interest of 0.25% per well. The effective date of the transaction was April 1, 2026, and the consideration represented approximately 6X expected cash flow from the assets over the next twelve months. The assets represented approximately 1.5% of the Company’s trailing twelve months upstream revenue and 2% of the Company’s year-end 2025 Proved Developed Producing (PDP) reserves.

In April, the Company made a $5 million repayment on the outstanding balance on the credit facility, bringing the balance down $10 million from year-end 2025 to $40.5 million.

Q3 2026 Update

In July, the Company sold down a 24% interest in the 3 well Parkman development in the Powder River Basin, that began drilling in June, in exchange for a $1.1 million up front-payment to right-size the third quarter capital program. The Company now holds a 72% interest in the wells.

In July, the Company successfully drilled 3 gross (2.1 net) Parkman wells in the Powder River Basin. The completions are scheduled for the third quarter with production online in the fourth quarter.

Q3 2026 and FY 2026 Production and Capital Guidance Range

Q3 2026 Total Production (MMcfe): 3,270 – 3,510 (mid-point represents 10% QoQ growth)

Q3 2026 Oil Production (MBbl): 155 – 165 (mid-point represents 27% QoQ growth)

Q3 2026 Capital : $24.0 - $28.5 million

FY 2026 Production (MMcfe): 13,740 – 14,280 (mid-point represents 18% YoY growth)

FY 2026 Oil Production (MBbl): 640 – 670 (mid-point represents 194% YoY growth)

FY 2026 Capital: $42.0 – $47.0 million

The primary components of the capital program for the second half of 2026:

Drilling and completion of 3 gross (2.1 net) Parkman wells in the Powder River Basin (operated)
Facilities build-out in preparation for 2027 drilling plans in the Powder River Basin (operated)
Drilling of 2 gross (0.5 net) Barnett wells in the Permian Basin (non-operated), completions are expected in Q127
Completion of 5 gross (0.4 net) Marcellus wells (non-operated)

Due to the timing of these investments, approximately 35% of 2026 capital spending (2.1 net Parkman wells in the Powder River Basin) is expected to have an impact for ~60 days in Q4 2026. Another 24% of 2026 capital spending is not expected to have an impact on 2026 results (the initial impact will fall into 2027).

Epsilon defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before (1) net interest expense, (2) taxes, (3) depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense, (4) impairments of natural gas and oil properties, (5) non-cash stock compensation expense, (6) transaction costs, (7) gain or loss on derivative contracts net of cash received or paid on settlement, (8) gain or loss on sale of assets, and (9) gain or loss on foreign currency translations. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance as determined under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.

Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Epsilon has included Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because its management believes that EBITDA provides useful information regarding its ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures. It further provides investors with a helpful measure for comparing operating performance on a "normalized" or recurring basis with the performance of other companies, without giving effect to certain non-cash expenses and other items. This provides management, investors and analysts with comparative information for evaluating the Company in relation to other natural gas and oil companies providing corresponding non-U.S. GAAP financial measures or that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. These non-U.S. GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, measures for financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
