Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
- Description of Business
Gran Tierra Energy Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Gran Tierra”), is a publicly traded company focused on oil and natural gas exploration and production with assets currently in Colombia, Ecuador and Canada.
- Significant Accounting Policies
These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The information furnished herein reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim periods.
The note disclosure requirements of annual audited consolidated financial statements provide additional disclosures required for interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and are the same policies followed in these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events to the date these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. ASU 2023-09 enhances the income tax disclosures to enable investors to better understand entity’s exposure to potential changes in jurisdictional tax legislation and associated risks and opportunities, income tax information that effects cash flow forecasts and potential opportunities to increase future cash flows. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and should be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 effective January 1, 2025. The implementation of this update did not have a material impact on income tax disclosures.
- Business Combination
On October 31, 2024, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of i3 Energy Plc (“i3 Energy”), subsequently renamed as Gran Tierra UK Limited (“Gran Tierra UK”) for $204.5 million, consisting of cash consideration of $161.8 million, cash dividend of $4.0 million, cash settlement of stock options of $2.0 million and 5,808,925 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, the fair value of which was determined to be $36.7 million based on the closing price of the Company’s shares on the acquisition date. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method with Gran Tierra being the acquirer, whereby the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their fair values as at the i3 Energy acquisition date, and the results of i3 Energy were included with those of Gran Tierra from that date. Fair value estimates were made based on significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs and based on the best information available at the time.
Determining the fair values of the assets and liabilities of i3 Energy and the consideration paid required significant judgment and certain assumptions to be made. The most significant fair value estimates related to the valuation of i3 Energy's proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties. The fair value of proved oil and natural gas properties acquired is based on cash flows associated with estimated acquired proved oil and natural gas reserves and the discount rate. Factors that impact these reserves cash flows include forecasted production, forecasted commodity prices, and forecasted operating, royalty and capital costs. Management is continuing to review and assess information to accurately determine the acquisition date fair value of the proved oil and natural gas properties and deferred tax assets and liabilities acquired.
Due to the timing of acquisition, management is continuing to review and assess information to accurately determine the acquisition date fair value of the proved oil and natural gas properties and deferred tax assets and liabilities acquired. As at March 31, 2025, there were no changes to initial measurement of fair value of the proved oil and natural gas properties and deferred tax assets and liabilities acquired.

As at March 31, 2025, the equity compensation award liability on the Company’s balance sheet included $1.0 million of current liability related to the Company’s outstanding stock options.
The fair value of each stock option award was estimated on the modification date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model based on the assumptions noted in the following table:
| Fair value of option modification | $0.00 - $6.11 |
|---|---|
| Dividend yield (per share) | Nil |
| Expected volatility | 43% to 87% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.6% to 5.1% |
| Expected term | 0.1 - 4.9 years |
| Expected forfeiture rate | 0% to 5% |
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there was $0.5 million of stock-based compensation recoveryand $3.4 million of stock-based compensation expense, respectively.
As at March 31, 2025, there was $26.9 million (December 31, 2024 - $21.9 million) of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested PSUs, RSUs and stock options, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company paid out$7.2 million for PSUs vested on December 31, 2024 (three months ended March 31, 2024 - $10.4 million for PSUs vested on December 31, 2023).
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company awarded 0.6 million RSU to employees pursuant to the existing 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. Under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, RSUs will vest one-third each year over athree-year period. Upon vesting, RSUs entitle the holder to receive either the underlying number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock or a cash payment equal to the value of the underlying shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company intends to settle RSUs outstanding as at March 31, 2025, in cash.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income or loss per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding during each period.
Diluted net income or loss per share is calculated using the treasury stock method for share-based compensation arrangements. The treasury stock method assumes that any proceeds obtained on the exercise of share-based compensation arrangements would be used to purchase shares of Common Stock at the average market price during the period. The weighted average number of shares is then adjusted by the difference between the number of shares issued from the exercise of share-based compensation arrangements and shares re-purchased from the related proceeds. Anti-dilutive shares represent potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted income or loss per share as their impact would be anti-dilutive.
Weighted Average Shares Outstanding
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 all options were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation as the options were anti-dilutive.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s production was sold primarily to two major customers representing 65% and 20%of the total sales volumes, of which 60% was sold in Colombia,10% in Ecuador and 30% in Canada (three months ended March 31, 2024 - one major customer representing 100%of the total sales volumes).
As at March 31, 2025, accounts receivable included $14.0 million of accrued sales revenue related to March 2025 production (December 31, 2024 - $13.4 million related to December 2024 production).
- Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was negative 23% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 100% in the corresponding period of 2024.
Current income tax expense was $8.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $3.9 million in the corresponding period of 2024, primarily due to an increase in taxable income in Ecuador, Canada and Colombia.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the deferred tax recovery of $4.7 million was mainly due to the use of a higher enacted tax rate on Colombian tax losses. These were partially offset by higher tax depreciation relative to accounting depreciation.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the deferred income tax expense was $13.5 million mainly as a result of tax depreciation being higher than accounting depreciation and the use of tax losses to offset taxable income in Colombia.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the difference between the effective tax rate of negative 23% and the 40% Colombian tax rate was primarily due to an increase in the non-deductible foreign translation adjustments, other permanent differences and valuation allowance. This was partially offset by an increase in the impact of foreign taxes.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the difference between the effective tax rate of 100% and the 45% Colombian tax rate was primarily due to an increase in the impact of foreign taxes, increase in the valuation allowance, non-deductible foreign translation adjustments, non-deductible stock-based compensation and other permanent differences.
- Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company has several lawsuits and claims pending. The outcome of the lawsuits and disputes cannot be predicted with certainty; the Company believes the resolution of these matters would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

- Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value, defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to market participants to settle liability at the measurement date. For financial instruments carried at fair value, GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels:
Level 1 - Inputs representing quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for assets and liabilities
At March 31, 2025, the Company’s financial instruments recognized on the balance sheet consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, current portion of long-term debt, long-term debt and other long-term liabilities. The Company uses appropriate valuation techniques based on the available information to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities.
Fair Value Measurement
The following table presents the Company’s fair value measurements of its financial instruments as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024:
| (Thousands of U.S. Dollars) | As at March 31, 2025 | As at December 31, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Liabilities | ||
| 6.25% Senior Notes | $— | $24,133 |
| 7.75% Senior Notes | 21,422 | 21,451 |
| 9.50% Senior Notes | 651,421 | 688,262 |
| $672,843 | $733,846 | |
| Assets | ||
| Restricted cash and cash equivalents - long-term (1) | $8,185 | $6,816 |
| Commodity derivatives - current (2) | — | 712 |
| $8,185 | $7,528 | |
| Liabilities | ||
| Commodity derivatives - current (3) | $1,290 | $— |
(1)The long-term portion of restricted cash and cash equivalents is included in the other long-term assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
(2) The current portion of commodity derivatives was included into other current assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
(3) The current portion of commodity derivatives was included into accounts payable balance on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, current restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents - Long-Term
The fair value of long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents approximate its carrying value because interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates.
Prepaid Equity Forward (“PEF”)
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company settled all outstanding notional PEF shares and received net proceeds of $5.1 million resulting in a $0.3 million loss on settlement.
Senior Notes
Financial instruments recorded at amortized cost at March 31, 2025, were the Senior Notes (Note 7).
At March 31, 2025, the carrying amounts of the 7.75% Senior Notes and 9.50% Senior Notes were $23.9 million and $680.0 million, respectively, which represented the aggregate principal amounts less unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts, and the fair values were $21.4 million, and$651.4 million, respectively.
Derivative asset and derivative liability
The fair value of derivatives is estimated based on various factors, including quoted market prices in active markets and quotes from third parties. The Company also performs an internal valuation to ensure the reasonableness of third party quotes. In consideration of counterparty credit risk, the Company assessed the possibility of whether the counterparty to the derivative would default by failing to make any contractually required payments. Additionally, the Company considers whether such counterparty has the ability to meet its potential repayment obligations associated with the derivative transactions.
Commodity Price Risk
The Company may at times utilize commodity price derivatives to manage the variability in cash flows associated with the forecasted sale of its oil production, reduce commodity price risk and provide a base level of cash flow in order to assure it can execute at least a portion of its capital spending. As at March 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding commodity price derivative positions in Canada and Colombia as follows:
