DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. (“Granite Ridge” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GRNT) today reported financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights

• Grew daily production 1% to 32,044 barrels of oil equivalent (“Boe”) per day (51% oil), from 31,576 Boe per day for the second quarter of 2025.
• Reported net income of $30.0 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, versus $25.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the prior year period. Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP) totaled $11.1 million, or $0.09 Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share (non-GAAP).
• Generated $79.6 million of Adjusted EBITDAX (non-GAAP).
• Invested $78.5 million in drilling and completions capital expenditures and $16.7 million in acquisition capital to capture high quality drilling opportunities.
• Placed 7.2 net wells online.
• Paid dividend of $0.11 per share of common stock.
• Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDAX (non-GAAP) of 1.4x.
• Subsequent to quarter end, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share payable on September 14, 2026 to shareholders of record as of August 28, 2026. Future declarations of dividends are subject to approval by the Board of Directors.

See “Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for descriptions of the above non-GAAP measures as well as a reconciliation of these measures to the associated GAAP (as defined herein) measures.

Tyler Farquharson, President and CEO of Granite Ridge, commented, “2026 is the final year in which we expect to invest ahead of cash flow, and our second quarter activity advanced the plan we have laid out to reach a free cash flow inflection in 2027. During the quarter we brought new wells online, added high-return inventory, and maintained a conservative balance sheet and our quarterly dividend.

“Our Operated Partnership platform remains our principal differentiator. Through Admiral Permian Resources, and through the additional partnerships we are developing, we fund development on acreage sourced through our partners' operating relationships rather than through broadly marketed packages, adding inventory at attractive entry costs while retaining control of our capital. We underwrite every opportunity to a full-cycle return above 25% at strip pricing, and in the first half of 2026 we replaced inventory faster than we developed it.

“Our strategy does not depend on a higher commodity price environment; our underwriting discipline and hedge program are designed to protect cash flow across a range of outcomes. We remain focused on executing toward our 2027 framework of durable growth, a double-digit free cash flow yield, and a well-covered dividend.”

Financial Results

Oil and natural gas sales for the second quarter of 2026 were $149.3 million. Net income was $30.0 million, or $0.23 per diluted share. Excluding non-cash and special items, Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP) was $11.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDAX (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2026 totaled $79.6 million compared to $75.4 million for the second quarter of 2025. Cash flow from operating activities was $55.6 million, including $14.0 million in working capital changes. Operating Cash Flow Before Working Capital Changes (non-GAAP) was $69.5 million.

Production Results

Second quarter 2026 oil production volumes totaled 16,341 barrels (“Bbls”) per day, a 2% increase from the second quarter of 2025. Natural gas production for the second quarter of 2026 totaled 94,220 thousand cubic feet of natural gas (“Mcf”) per day, a 1% increase from the second quarter of 2025. The Company’s daily production for the second quarter of 2026 grew 1% from the second quarter of the prior year to 32,044 Boe per day.

Oil, Natural Gas and Related Product Sales

The Company’s average realized price for oil and natural gas for the second quarter of 2026, excluding the effect of commodity derivatives, was $93.93 per Bbl and $1.12 per Mcf, respectively, compared to $61.41 per Bbl and $2.32 per Mcf realized in the second quarter of 2025.

Operating Costs

Lease operating expenses were $30.0 million in the second quarter of 2026, or $10.27 per Boe, a 47% increase on a per unit basis compared to the second quarter of 2025 as a result of increased saltwater disposal costs as a result of higher water cuts and flowback operations, surface equipment rentals, and contract labor. Production and ad valorem taxes were $9.3 million for the quarter, or 6% of oil and natural gas sales. During the quarter, general and administrative expenses totaled $9.2 million, or $3.14 per Boe, inclusive of $1.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation.

Capital Expenditures and Operational Activity

Capital expenditures for the quarter were $95.2 million comprised of $78.5 million of drilling and completions capital and $16.7 million of property acquisition costs.

Grey Rock Distribution

Grey Rock Investment Partners, which beneficially owns approximately 50% of Granite Ridge's outstanding common stock, has informed the Company that it intends to distribute a portion of its shares to the limited partners of one of its affiliated funds in the third quarter of 2026, representing the first of multiple expected tranches. The distribution is expected to be an in-kind distribution of existing shares by Grey Rock to its limited partners. It is not an underwritten offering, the Company is not issuing any shares, and the Company will not receive any proceeds. The size, timing and completion of any distribution are at Grey Rock's discretion, and no assurance can be given that any distribution will occur as described.

If distributions reduce Grey Rock's beneficial ownership to less than 50% of the Company's voting power, Granite Ridge will transition to governance as a non-controlled company under NYSE listing standards, including a majority-independent Board and independent compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees. The Company will complete that transition within the periods those standards provide. A distribution would not alter the Company's Master Services Agreement with Grey Rock, the opportunity-sharing arrangements thereunder, or the agreements governing the Company's Operated Partnerships. For information regarding Grey Rock's ownership and intentions, investors should refer to its filings under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company believes certain non-GAAP performance measures may provide financial statement users with additional meaningful comparisons between current results, the results of its peers and the results of prior periods. In addition, the Company believes these measures are used by analysts and others in the valuation, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry. See the reconciliations throughout this release of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures for the periods indicated.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDAX

Adjusted EBITDAX is presented herein and reconciled from the GAAP measure of net income (loss) because of its wide acceptance by the investment community as a financial indicator.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before depletion and accretion expense, unrealized (gain) loss on derivatives – commodity derivatives, interest expense, net, non-cash stock-based compensation, income tax expense (benefit), impairment of unproved properties, impairments of long-lived assets, (gain) loss on equity investments, and other, net. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income or cash flows as determined by GAAP.

The Company’s Adjusted EBITDAX measure provides additional information that may be used to better understand the Company’s operations. Adjusted EBITDAX is one of several metrics that the Company uses as a supplemental financial measurement in the evaluation of its business and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic cost of depreciable and depletable assets. Adjusted EBITDAX, as used by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDAX is a widely followed measure of operating performance and is one of many metrics used by the Company’s management team and by other users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For example, Adjusted EBITDAX can be used to assess the Company’s operating performance and return on capital in comparison to other independent exploration and production companies without regard to financial or capital structure, and to assess the financial performance of the Company’s assets and the Company without regard to capital structure or historical cost basis.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the GAAP measure of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDAX for the periods indicated:

The Company defines Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDAX as the accumulation of the prior twelve months Adjusted EBITDAX. Adjusted EBITDAX for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2025, December 31, 2025, March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2026 were previously reported in an earnings release relating to the applicable quarter, and the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDAX for each quarter is included in the applicable earnings release.

Reconciliation of Debt to Net Debt

The Company provides Net Debt, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Net Debt as current portion of long-term debt, plus long-term debt, net, less cash as of the balance sheet date. The Company’s Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDAX provides investors with insight into the Company’s leverage as of the measurement date.

Net Debt	$	418,016
Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDAX Ratio		1.4

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share

The Company provides Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share represent earnings and diluted earnings (loss) per share determined under GAAP without regard to certain non-cash and nonrecurring items. The Company defines Adjusted Net Income as net income as determined under GAAP excluding impairments of long-lived assets, unrealized (gain) loss on derivatives - commodity derivatives, (gain) loss on equity investments, certain nonrecurring general and administrative expenses and tax impact on above adjustments.

The Company defines Adjusted Earnings Per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted average number of diluted shares of common stock outstanding.

The Company believes these measures provide useful information to analysts and investors for analysis of its operating results on a recurring, comparable basis from period to period. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for earnings or diluted earnings per share as determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table provides a reconciliation from the GAAP measure of net income (loss) to Adjusted Net Income, both in total and on a per diluted share basis, for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Operating Cash Flow Before Working Capital Changes

The Company provides Operating Cash Flow (“OCF”) Before Working Capital Changes, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines OCF Before Working Capital Changes as net cash provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP excluding changes in operating assets and liabilities such as: changes in cash due to changes in operating assets and liabilities, revenue receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, prepaid and other current assets, and other liabilities and long-term payables. The Company believes OCF Before Working Capital Changes is an accepted measure of an oil and natural gas company’s ability to generate cash used to fund development and acquisition activities and service debt or pay dividends.

This non-GAAP measure should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities as an indicator of operating performance.

The following table provides a reconciliation from the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities to OCF Before Working Capital Changes:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
