Current report
Evolution Petroleum Corporation is an independent energy company focused onacquiring and developing long-lived oil and natural gas properties in the United States. Our diversified portfolio consists primarily of non-operated working interests and mineral and royalty interests across several leading producing basins.
Current report
Our non-operated model allows us to invest alongside experienced operators, participate in a broad range of development opportunities and maintain flexibility in the timing and allocation of capital. Our mineral and royalty interests provide additional exposure to production and future development, generally without associated lifting expenses or drilling and completions costs.
Current report
The geographic, commodity, operator and ownership diversity of our asset base reduces our reliance on any single property, basin or development program. It also provides multiple avenues for allocating capital, including acquiring producing working and mineral interests, participating in and benefiting from attractive operator-led projects and pursuing development opportunities within our existing assets.
Current report
We seek to maximize total shareholder value through disciplined acquisitions, selective participation in attractive development projects, a conservative balance sheet and the return of capital to shareholders.
Current report
revenue interest located on approximately 5,300 gross (950 net) acres all held by production. The properties are operated by Jonah Energy.
Current report
until October 20, 2026 to provide additional capacity for the Permian Mineral Acquisition, defined below. On October 20. 2026, under the terms of our Senior Secured Credit Facility, the borrowing base was redetermined at $70.0 million based on the semi-annual review of all of our properties.
Current report
Purchase of Permian Minerals
Current report
On August 20, 2026, we completed the acquisition of mineral and royalty interests in the core Midland Basin of the Permian Basin from a non-affiliated private seller for a total purchase price of $16.0 million (the “Permian Minerals Acquisition”), subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The Permian Minerals Acquisition has an effective date of August 1, 2026. We funded the purchase price for the Permian Minerals Acquisition with a combination of net proceeds from our concurrent public equity offering and $3.2 million in borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility. The acquired assets include approximately 3,420 net royalty acres across Glasscock, Martin, Midland, Reagan, and Upton Counties, Texas.
Current report
Common Stock Offering
Current report
On August 20, 2026, we completed a public offering of approximately 4.3 million shares of our common stock, at an offering price of $3.25 per share (the “Offering”). We received net proceeds of approximately $12.5 million from the Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs. Net proceeds from the Offering, together with borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and cash on hand, were used to fund the Permian Minerals Acquisition.
Current report
anticipated proved developed producing production on a per BOE basis, for a rolling twelve-months period of time. Any significant increases in commodity prices could lead to further losses on our derivative contacts that partially offset the realized price increases. As of September 30, 2026, the significant increase in current and forward commodity prices specifically for crude oil as compared to June 30, 2026, resulted in $1.3 million and $4.1 million of realized and unrealized losses, respectively. Impairments of proved properties and gains and losses on derivative contracts are difficult to predict, especially in a volatile price environment. Certain of our costs, including costs incurred by our third-party operators that are passed through to us, are affected by commodity prices, general inflation and tariffs, including tariffs on steel and other materials.
Current report
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2026 decreased $3.4 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. In the prior period we spent $16.9 million on the SCOOP/STACK Minerals Acquisition and $3.8 million on development capital expenditures. During the current quarter, we spent approximately $16.0 million on the Permian Minerals Acquisition and $0.3 million on mineral and royalty interests targeting the Haynesville/Bossier Shale.
Current report
We reported net losses of $3.0 million and net income of $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The following table summarizes the comparison of financial information for the periods presented:

Current report
Revenues
Current report
Crude oil, natural gas and NGL revenues were $22.6 million and $21.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, with the increase in revenues due to increases in our average realized price per BOE partially offset by decreases in production volumes. Our average realized commodity price (excluding the impact of derivative contracts) for the three months ended September 30, 2026 increased approximately $3.50 per BOE, or 11.1%, over the prior year period as our realized crude oil prices increased 31.5% and realized NGL prices increased 26.5% partially offset by natural gas prices which decreased 8.4% from the three months ended September 30, 2025. Average daily equivalent production decreased 4.6% from 7,315 BOEPD in the prior year period to 6,978 BOEPD in the current period primarily as a result ofa reduction in crude oil production. Production is down due to the natural decline across the portfolio. In addition, the prior year period includes flush production from wells brought online at Chaveroo Field which was 100% crude oil.
Current report
Lease Operating Costs
Current report
Ad valorem and production taxes were $1.4 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. On a per unit basis, ad valorem and production taxes were $2.14 per BOE and $2.11 per BOE for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase on a per unit basis is due to the overall decrease in production.
Current report
Gathering, transportation and other costs were $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. These costs are gathering, transportation and processing fees we incur primarily for our natural gas producing properties. The decrease is primarily due to decreased natural gas sales at Jonah Field and Barnett Shale. On a per unit basis, gathering, transportation and other costs were $4.27 per BOE and $4.30 per BOE for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Current report
Other lease operating costs were $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $8.8 million for the three months ended September 30,2025. Other lease operating costs decreased primarily due to a decrease in workover repairs at SCOOP/STACK and lower operating costs at TexMex due to a change of operatorship. On a per unit basis, other lease operating costs decreased to $12.84 per BOE for the three months ended September 30, 2026 from $13.04 per BOE in the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Current report
Depletion of Full Cost Proved Oil and Natural Gas Properties
Current report
Depletion expense decreased from $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 primarily due to a decrease in production from the prior year period. On a per unit basis, depletion expense was $8.32 per BOE and $8.26 per BOE for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Current report
General and Administrative Expenses
Current report
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were $2.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The increase in the current period is primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits and professional fees. On a per unit basis, general and administrative expenses were $3.22 per BOE and $2.66 per BOE for the three months ended September 30,2026 and 2025, respectively.
Current report
Net Gain (Loss) on Derivative Contracts
Current report
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 unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The amounts recorded on the unaudited condensed 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 recent acquisitions and the corresponding borrowings on our Senior Secured Credit Facility, we are required by terms in our Senior Secured Credit Facility to hedge 75% of our crude oil and natural gas production (excluding NGLs). In March 2026, WTI oil prices reached their highest levels since 2022 due to crude oil disruptions at key oil shipping routes in the Middle East, contributing to considerable commodity price fluctuations and realized losses on our crude oil derivative contracts since. The significant increase in forward commodity prices as of September 30, 2026, resulted in an unrealized loss on the mark-to-market of our hedges. As of September 30, 2026, we had $3.0 million derivative assets, $2.7 million of which was classified as current, and $7.5 million derivative liabilities, $7.0 million of which was classified as current. We expect to see continued volatility in the fair value of our derivative contracts as commodity prices fluctuate.
Current report
“N.M.” means “Not Meaningful.”
Current report
Interest Expense
Current report
Interest expense increased $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the prior year period primarily due to additional borrowings drawn on our Senior Secured Credit Facility to finance our Permian Minerals Acquisition in August 2026. The weighted average interest rate on our borrowings decreased to 6.48% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 7.12% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 partially offsetting the increase in interest expense due to increased borrowings.
Current report
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit
Current report
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized income tax benefit of $1.5 million on net losses before income taxes of $4.5 million compared to income tax expense of $0.4 million on net income before income taxes of $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The effective tax rates were 33.8% and 30.7% for three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We continue to evaluate our tax provision on a quarterly basis and adjust our effective tax rate for any given changes in facts and circumstances that are expected in the future.
Current report
Critical Accounting Estimates
Current report
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that we select certain accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets, liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These policies, together with our estimates, have a significant effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

On August 4, 2025, wecompleted the acquisition of certain mineral and royalty interests in the SCOOP and STACK plays in Oklahoma from a non-affiliated private seller (the “SCOOP/STACK Minerals Acquisition”) in a cash transaction valued at approximately $16.3 million, which includes $17.0 million paid at closing less transaction costs of $0.1 million and interim purchase price adjustments totaling approximately $0.8 million related to net cash flows earned on the properties from the effective date of May 1, 2025 to the closing date. We accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition and the allocation of the purchase price was $12.5 million to proved oil and natural gas properties, subject to amortization, and $3.8 million to unproved properties. We funded the purchase price for the SCOOP/STACK Minerals Acquisition with a combination of $15.0 million in borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and cash on hand. The acquired assets include an average royalty interest of 0.6% across approximately 5,500 net royalty acres located primarily in Grady and Canadian Counties, Oklahoma.
Previous report
Subsequent to the third fiscal quarter of 2026, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a private buyer for the sale of a portion of our non-core, non-producing net royalty acres. The total sale price for the acreage is approximately $3.3 million, subject to customary closing conditions. The divestiture is expected to close in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2026.

The oil and natural gas industry is a global market impacted by many factors, such as government regulations, particularly in the areas of tariffs, trade sanctions, taxation, energy, climate change and the environment, geopolitical instability, (including ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, in the Middle East and Venezuela), demand in Asian and European markets, and the extent to which members of OPEC and other oil exporting nations manage oil supply through export quotas. More recently, during the third fiscal quarter, WTI oil prices reached their highest levels since 2022 due to crude oil disruptions at key oil shipping routes in the Middle East, including the Strait of Hormuz. Natural gas prices are generally determined by North American supply and demand and are also affected by imports and exports of liquefied natural gas. Weather also has a significant impact on demand for natural gas since it is a primary heating source.

In March 2026, WTI oil prices reached their highest levels since 2022 due to crude oil disruptions at key oil shipping routes in the Middle East, including the Strait of Hormuz. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, oil and NGL prices remained elevated compared to the prior-year period, supported by global demand for U.S. production and continued geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, while natural gas prices declined compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to continued growth in U.S. natural gas production, mild weather and uncertainty regarding winter heating demand. Natural gas prices are generally determined by North American supply and demand and are also affected by imports and exports of liquefied natural gas. Weather also has a significant impact on demand for natural gas since it is a primary heating source.
Previous wording
Oil, natural gas, and NGL prices have been, and we expect may continue to be, volatile. During the current fiscal year, crude oil spot prices for WTI dropped below $56 per barrel in December 2025 then rose to more than $100 per barrel in March 2026. Lower oil and natural gas prices not only decrease our revenues, partially offset by applicable hedges, but an extended decline in oil or natural gas prices may affect planned capital expenditures and the oil and natural gas reserves that we can economically produce. Lower oil and natural gas prices may also reduce the amount of our borrowing base under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, which is determined at the discretion of the lenders based on various factors including the collateral value of our proved reserves. Increases in crude oil and natural gas prices are partially offset to the extent that prices exceed applicable derivative contract swap and collar prices.

During the fiscal year June 30, 2026, crude oil spot prices for WTI dropped below $56 per barrel in December 2025 then rose to more than $100 per barrel in March 2026. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, crude oil spot prices averaged approximately $87.22 per barrel and NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas spot prices averaged approximately $2.87 per MMBtu, compared to approximately $65.74 per barrel and $3.03 per MMBtu, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2025. Lower oil and natural gas prices not only decrease our revenues, partially offset by applicable hedges, but an extended decline in oil or natural gas prices may affect planned capital expenditures and the oil and natural gas reserves that we can economically produce. Lower oil and natural gas prices may also reduce the amount of our borrowing base under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, which is determined at the discretion of the lenders based on various factors including the collateral value of our proved reserves. Increases in crude oil and natural gas prices are partially offset to the extent that these prices exceed the Company’s applicable derivative contract swap and collar prices.
Previous wording
Given the dynamic nature of these factors and events, we cannot reasonably estimate the period of time that certain market conditions will persist. Continuing volatility in political, trade, regulatory and economic conditions could impact supply and demand fundamentals as well as commodity pricing. Any related significant declines in crude oil, natural gas, and NGL prices could lead to proved property impairments in the future. Any significant increases in commodity prices could lead to further losses on our derivative contacts that partially offset price increases. Impairments and gains and losses on derivative contracts are difficult to predict, especially in a volatile price environment.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires redeterminations of the borrowing base to occur semi-annually. At each redetermination, the Margined Collateral Value is updated based on the estimated value of our oil and natural gas properties, which includes our proved developed reserves, proved undeveloped reserves, and other relevant factors consistent with customary oil and natural gas lending criteria. On November 28, 2025, we entered into a letter agreement with MidFirst Bank pursuant to which the Margined Collateral Value, as defined under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, was modified to $65.0 million. In addition, it granted us additional time to enter into further commodity hedges to meet the hedging requirements under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. On August 29, 2025, we entered into the first amendment to our Senior Secured Credit Facility with MidFirst Bank, whereas it was determined for purposes of the hedge covenant that total crude oil and natural gas production volumes from proved developed producing reserves will be combined on a barrels of oil equivalent (“BOE”) basis to determine compliance with the hedging covenant.

At each redetermination, the Margined Collateral Value is updated based on the estimated value of our oil and natural gas properties, which includes our proved developed reserves, proved undeveloped reserves, and other relevant factors consistent with customary oil and natural gas lending criteria. On August 29, 2025, we entered into the first amendment to our Senior Secured Credit Facility with MidFirst Bank, whereas it was determined for purposes of the hedge covenant that total crude oil and natural gas production volumes from proved developed producing reserves will be combined on a barrels of oil equivalent (“BOE”) basis to determine compliance with the hedging covenant.

On October 21, 2024, we entered into an ATM equity Sales Agreement with Roth Capital Partners, LLC as our Lead Agent, Northland Securities Inc., and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners pursuant to which we may issue and sell, from time to time, up to $30.0 million of shares of common stock through or to the Lead Agent, acting as agent or principal to facilitate acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. On February 11, 2026, we executed a new ATM equity Sales Agreement, substantially consistent with the original October agreement restoring the $30.0 million common stock sales capacity. During the nine months ended March 31, 2026, we sold a total of approximately 1.1 million shares of our common stock under the ATM Sales Agreements for net proceeds of approximately $4.7 million, net of $0.2 million of offering costs incurred.

and pay cash dividends to shareholders. We expect to fund near-future capital development activities for our properties with cash flows from operating activities, and, as needed, borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and proceeds from the ATM Sales Agreements.
Current wording
We have historically funded operations through cash from operations and working capital. Our primary source of cash is the sale of produced crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs. A portion of these cash flows is used to fund capital expenditures and pay cash dividends to shareholders. We expect to fund near-future capital development activities for our properties with cash flows from operating activities, and, as needed, borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and proceeds from the ATM Sales Agreements.
Previous wording
We are pursuing new growth opportunities through acquisitions and other transactions. In addition to cash on hand, we have access to the undrawn portion of the borrowing base available under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, totaling $7.7 million as of March 31, 2026. We also have an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC under which we may issue up to $500.0 million of new debt or equity securities.
Current wording
Consistent with our business strategy, we are constantly pursuing new growth opportunities and other transactions to maximize shareholder value and will do so using a targeted mix of capital sourcing. We will continue to pursue acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties, including long-life producing properties with substantial upside potential as well as acquisitions of minerals and royalty interests. In addition to cash on hand, we have access to the undrawn portion of the borrowing base available under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, totaling $9.2 million as of October 20, 2026. We also have an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC under which we may issue up to $475.9 million of debt or equity securities. We believe that our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowings will be sufficient to fund our operations, capital expenditures and dividends for at least the next 12 months and in the longer term.
Previous wording
Our Board of Directors instituted a cash dividend on common stock in December 2013. We have since paid 50 consecutive quarterly dividends. Distribution of a substantial portion of free cash flow in excess of operating and capital requirements through cash dividends remains a priority of our financial strategy, and it is our long-term goal to increase dividends over time, subject to adjustments as appropriate in the Board of Directors’ discretion depending on factors such as commodity prices, other opportunities for uses of capital, and any other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant. On May 11, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock to shareholders of record on June 15, 2026 and payable on June 30, 2026.

Previous wording
During the nine months ending March 31,2026, we incurred $4.0 million on development capital expenditures. A majority of our spending occurred at SCOOP/STACK, Chaveroo Field and Hamilton Dome Field. At SCOOP/STACK eight gross wells were brought online during the nine months ended March 31, 2016, three gross wells are currently in progress, and we have elected to participate in two gross wells. At Chaveroo Field and Hamilton Dome capital spending projects were for facility upgrades and consolidations. Remaining capital spending related to capital workover projects across our portfolio of assets. Based on discussions with our operators, we expect capital workover projects to continue in most of our fields throughout the remainder of the year as well as further drilling at SCOOP/STACK.
Current wording
During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we incurred $0.7 million on development capital expenditures. A majority of our spending occurred at SCOOP/STACK where two gross wells were brought online during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and eight gross wells are currently in progress. Remaining capital spending related to capital workover projects across our portfolio of assets. Based on discussions with our operators, we expect capital workover projects to continue in most of our fields throughout the remainder of the year as well as further drilling at SCOOP/STACK.

Overall, for fiscal year 2026, we expect budgeted capital expenditures to be in the range of $4.0 million to $6.0 million, which excludes the purchase of Louisiana Minerals described above, as well as any other potential acquisitions. Our expected capital expenditures for fiscal year 2026 include bringing approximately eleven gross wells online, including the eight gross wells described above, at our SCOOP/STACK properties. Additionally, as our third-party operators continue to be active around our acreage, we would expect additional wells to be drilled and/or completed. At Chaveroo Field, we anticipate securing permits for the next six wells before the end of the fiscal year 2026. The final decision, made jointly with our partner, on when to spud these wells will depend on prevailing oil prices and completed well costs at that time.
Current wording
Overall, for fiscal year 2027, we expect budgeted capital expenditures to be in the range of $4.0 million to $6.0 million, which excludes the recent purchase of Permian Minerals, any other potential acquisitions, and drilling at Chaveroo Field.
Previous wording
ceiling test as of March 31, 2026 were $63.80 per barrel of oil, $3.72 per MMBtu of natural gas and $22.50 per barrel of NGLs. As of March 31, 2026, our capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, subject to amortization, were below the full cost valuation ceiling. If commodity price levels were to substantially decline from the 12-month average first day of the month pricing levels as of March 31, 2026 and remain down for a prolonged period of time, our valuation ceiling over our capitalized costs may be reduced and adversely impact our ceiling test results in future quarters and the effect could be material to our net earnings. Using first day of the month prices for April and May 2026, which are more reflective of recent prices trends, to calculate a trailing 12-month average price of $70.06 per barrel of oil and $3.58 per MMBtu of natural gas, and keeping all other factors constant, the ceiling test calculation as of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 would not have generated a ceiling test impairment. We cannot give assurance that a write-down of capitalized oil and natural gas properties will not be required at some point in the future as commodity prices are volatile and unpredictable. In addition to commodity prices, our production rates, levels of proved reserves, future development costs, transfers of unevaluated properties to our full cost pool, capital spending and other factors will determine our actual ceiling test calculation and impairment analyses in future periods.
Current wording
Under the full cost method of accounting, capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated depletion, depreciation, and amortization and related deferred taxes, are limited to the estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves, discounted at 10%, plus the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties, as adjusted for related income tax effects (the valuation “ceiling”). If capitalized costs exceed the full cost ceiling, the excess would be charged to expense as a write-down of oil and natural gas properties in the quarter in which the excess occurred. The quarterly ceiling test calculation requires that we use the average first day of the month price for our petroleum products during the 12-month period ending with the balance sheet date. The prices used in calculating our ceiling test as of September 30, 2026 were $76.93 per barrel of oil, $3.60 per MMBtu of natural gas and $28.93 per barrel of NGLs. As of September 30, 2026, our capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, subject to amortization, were below the full cost valuation ceiling. If commodity price levels were to substantially decline from the 12-month average first day of the month pricing levels as of September 30, 2026 and remain down for a prolonged period of time, our valuation ceiling over our capitalized costs may be reduced and adversely impact our ceiling test results in future quarters and the effect could be material to our net earnings. Using first day of the month prices for October and November 2026, which are more reflective of recent price trends, to calculate trailing 12-month average price of $86.46 per barrel of crude oil and $3.36 per MMBtu of natural gas, and keeping all other factors constant, the ceiling test calculation as of the second quarter of fiscal year 2027 would not have generated a ceiling test impairment. We cannot give assurance that a write-down of capitalized oil and natural gas properties will not be required at some point in the future as commodity prices are volatile and unpredictable. In addition to commodity prices, our production rates, levels of proved reserves, future development costs, transfers of unevaluated properties to our full cost pool, capital spending and other factors will determine our actual ceiling test calculation and impairment analyses in future periods.

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 decreased $5.9 million compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due a decrease in revenues of $2.6 million from the prior period and increases in our interest expense and realized losses on derivative contracts. Interest expense increased $0.6 million and in the current period we had net derivative realized losses of $0.6 million compared to realized gains $0.2 million in the prior period. The remaining decrease in cash flow from operations is due to timing of working capital. Refer to*“Results of Operations”* below for further information.
