Results of Operations

Years Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

We reported a net income of $1.5 million and $4.1 million for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The following table summarizes the comparison of financial information for the periods presented:

Revenues

Crude oil, natural gas and NGL revenues were $85.8 million and $85.9 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in revenues is primarily due to the decrease in our average realized price per BOE partially offset by an increase in our sales volumes primarily as a result of our recent acquisitions. Our average realized commodity price (excluding the impact of derivative contracts) decreased approximately $1.31 per BOE, or 3.8%, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 compared to June 30, 2024. The amount we realize for our production depends predominantly upon commodity prices, which are affected by changes in market demand and supply, as impacted by overall economic activity, weather, inventory storage levels, basis differentials and other factors. While crude oil and NGL prices decreased 11.5% and 0.1% from the prior fiscal year respectively, our average realized commodity prices, realized natural gas prices increased 7.3% from the prior fiscal year predominately due to favorable pricing recognized from our SCOOP/STACK properties. Average daily equivalent production increased 4.2% from 6,790 BOEPD to 7,074 BOEPD in the current fiscal year as a result of additional production from newly drilled wells at Chaveroo Field, the Tex Mex Acquisition in April 2025, and drilling activities that are ongoing at SCOOP/STACK since the prior year end. The increase in production was partially offset by natural production declines in our other fields.

Lease Operating Costs

Ad valorem and production taxes were $5.7 million and $5.3 million for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in ad valorem and production taxes is primarily due to our SCOOP/STACK Acquisitions since the prior year period. On a per unit basis, ad valorem and production taxes were $2.21 per BOE and $2.13 per BOE for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Gathering, transportation and other costs were $11.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2025 compared to $9.7 million for the year ended June 30,2024. These costs are gathering, transportation and processing fees we incur primarily for our natural gas producing properties. The increase is primarily due to the SCOOP/STACK Acquisitions in February 2024 which increased gathering, transportation and other costs by $1.2 million over the prior year period. On a per unit basis, gathering, transportation and other costs were $4.40 per BOE and $3.89 per BOE for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Other lease operating costs decreased $1.1 million, or 3.2%, compared to the prior fiscal year primarily due to a $1.9 million credit from the operator of one of our Barnett Shale properties due to a joint venture audit combined with the cessation of CO 2 purchases at Delhi late in the third fiscal quarter. CO 2 purchases resumed in late October of 2024 following the pipeline shutdown for maintenance and repairs early in 2024. Consequently, we had net purchases of $2.6 million of CO 2 for the year ended June 30, 2025 compared to net purchases of $4.2 million in the prior year period. Partially offsetting the reduction in CO 2 purchases were cost increases due to our acquisitions of TexMex in April 2025 and SCOOP/STACK in February 2024, which collectively increased other lease operating costs by $2.3 million over the prior year period. On a per unit basis, other lease operating costs decreased to $12.50 per BOE in the current year from $13.41 per BOE in the prior year, primarily due to an overall increase in production.

Depletion of Full Cost Proved Oil and Natural Gas Properties

Depletion expense increased $1.8 million or 9.5% from $18.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 to $20.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to an increase in the depletion rate. On a per unit basis, depletion expense was $7.89 per BOE and $7.49 per BOE for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The depletion rate of our unit of production calculation increased primarily due to an overall decrease in our reserves estimates since the prior year period.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 increased $0.4 million, or 4.7%, to $7.9 million compared to $7.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The increase primarily relates higher salary and compensation expense adjustments for existing employees. On a per unit basis, general and administrative expenses were $3.04 per BOE and $3.02 per BOE for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Stock-based Compensation Expenses

Stock-based compensation increased $0.3 million to $2.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2025 compared to $2.1 million the prior period. The increase is due to new awards granted during the current year.

Net Gain (Loss) on Derivative Contracts

We utilize commodity derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices. Financial hedges are a requirement under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and help establish commodity price floors, contributing to stable cash flows when derivative contracts are settled. We have elected not to designate our open derivative contracts for hedge accounting, and accordingly, we recorded the net change in the mark-to-market valuation of the derivative contracts in the consolidated statements of operations. The amounts recorded on the consolidated statements of operations related to derivative contracts represent the (i) gains (losses) related to fair value adjustments on our open, or unrealized, derivative contracts, and (ii) gains (losses) on settlements of derivative contracts for positions that have settled or been realized. The table below summarizes our net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative contracts as well as the impact of net realized (gains) losses on our average realized prices for the periods presented. As a result of our SCOOP/STACK Acquisitions in February 2024 and the corresponding borrowings on our Senior Secured Credit Facility, we were required by terms in our Senior Secured Credit Facility to hedge a portion of our production. The increase in the forward curve for future natural gas prices, as of June 30, 2025 as compared to June 30, 2024, resulted in a net unrealized loss on the mark-to-market of our hedges for the year ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, we had a $2.0 million derivative asset, $1.8 million of which was classified as current, and a $3.4 million derivative liability, $1.6 million of which was classified as current.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $1.5 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024 primarily due to borrowings drawn on our Senior Secured Credit Facility to finance our SCOOP/STACK Acquisitions in February 2024. Partially offsetting the increase in interest expense is the decrease in our weighted average interest rate on our borrowings to 7.48% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 compared to 8.12% for fiscal year 2024.

Income tax (expense) provision

For the year ended June 30, 2025, we recognized income tax expense of $0.4 million on income before income taxes of $1.9 million compared to an income tax expense of $1.4 million on income before income taxes of $5.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rates were 21.2% and 25.8% for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate from the prior year period is due to federal tax credits on marginal natural gas wells for the calendar year 2024 and 2025.
