Oil and natural gas revenues. Our oil and natural gas revenues increased $39.5 million, or 5%, to $815.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $776.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The increase in oil revenues resulted from a 29% increase in our oil production to 11.2 million Bbl for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to 8.7 million Bbl for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which was partially offset by a 21% decrease in the weighted average oil price realized for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $64.34 per Bbl, as compared to $81.20 per Bbl for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Our natural gas revenues increased $25.7 million, or 36%, to $96.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $70.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Third-party midstream services revenues. Our third-party midstream services revenues increased $10.5 million, or 16%, to $75.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $65.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increase in our third-party natural gas gathering and processing revenues to $38.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $31.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and (ii) an increase in our oil transportation revenues to $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which were partially offset by a decrease in our third-party water disposal revenues to $25.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $27.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Current report

Production taxes, transportation and processing. Our production taxes, transportation and processing expenses increased $29.7 million, or 20%, to $176.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $147.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to a $22.5 million increase in production taxes to $136.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $114.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the increase in oil and natural gas revenues between the two periods. On a unit-of-production basis, our production taxes, transportation and processing expenses decreased 8% to $4.79 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $5.21 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease per BOE was primarily attributable to a 14% decrease in realized oil prices and a 31% increase in our total oil equivalent production between the two periods.

Current report

Lease operating expenses. Our lease operating expenses increased $57.0 million, or 37%, to $212.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $155.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our lease operating expenses per unit of production increased 5% to $5.75 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $5.50 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2024. These increases were primarily attributable to the increased number of wells being operated by us, including 204 wells from the Ameredev Acquisition, and operated by other operators (where we own a working interest) and to operating cost inflation for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Current report

Depletion, depreciation and amortization. Our depletion, depreciation and amortization expenses increased $146.2 million, or 33%, to $584.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $438.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of the approximate 31% increase in our total oil equivalent production for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. On a unit-of-production basis, our depletion, depreciation and amortization expenses increased 2% to $15.84 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $15.53 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of the Ameredev Acquisition.

Current report

General and administrative. Our general and administrative expenses increased $8.4 million, or 15%, to $65.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $57.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of increased payroll for our existing employees as well as with additional employees joining Matador to support our increased land, geoscience, drilling, completion, production, midstream and administration functions as a result of our continued growth. Our general and administrative expenses decreased by 12% on a unit-of-production basis to $1.79 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $2.04 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of the approximate 31% increase in our total oil equivalent production between the two periods.

Current report

Net cash used in financing activities increased $246.5 million to $230.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from net cash provided by financing activities of $16.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase in net cash used in financing activities between the periods was primarily due to (i) a $529.9 million decrease in net proceeds from debt and equity offerings in the prior period, (ii) an increase in cash used to repurchase common stock in the current period of $44.2 million, (iii) an increase in net distributions related to San Mateo of $32.2 million, and (iv) an increase in dividends paid of $29.4 million. These increases in net cash used in financing activities were partially offset by (i) a decrease in net repayments under the Credit Agreement of $199.5 million, (ii) an increase in net borrowings of $173.0 million under the San Mateo Credit Facility, and (iii) an $11.0 million decrease in costs to amend credit facilities.

Current report

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net income attributable to Matador shareholders decreased $78.5 million to $150.2 million, as compared to $228.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in net income attributable to Matador shareholders primarily resulted from a $76.7 million increase in depletion, depreciation and amortization expenses, a $26.7 million increase in lease operating expenses, a $17.4 million increase in interest expense and lower realized oil prices for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. These decreases were partially offset by a $21.5 million decrease in the income tax provision between the two periods, increased oil and natural gas production and higher realized natural gas prices for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Current report

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net income attributable to Matador shareholders decreased $32.2 million to $390.3 million, as compared to net income attributable to Matador shareholders of $422.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in net income attributable to Matador shareholders primarily resulted from a $146.2 million increase in depletion, depreciation and amortization expenses, a $57.0 million increase in lease operating expenses, a $29.7 million increase in production taxes, transportation and processing expenses, a $27.3 million increase in interest expense, a $22.5 million increase in unrealized loss on derivatives, a $21.7 million increase in plant and other midstream services operating expenses and lower realized oil prices for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. These decreases were partially offset by increased oil and natural gas production and higher realized natural gas prices for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Current report

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased $155.0 million to $1.24 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $1.08 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase is primarily attributable to increased oil and natural gas production and higher realized natural gas prices, partially offset by lower realized oil prices, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Current report

Our business success and financial results are dependent on many factors beyond our control, such as economic, political and regulatory developments, as well as competition from other sources of energy. For example, the current administration and Congress has altered, and may continue to alter, our current regulatory framework and may impact our business and the oil and gas industry generally. On July 4, 2025, the President of the United States signed into law the OBBBA. The legislation makes permanent, extends or modifies certain provisions under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, among other things. The provisions of the OBBBA that are currently expected to most significantly impact us include (i) a permanent extension of 100% bonus depreciation for certain capital expenditures, (ii) immediate deduction of domestic research or experimental expenditures, (iii) acceleration of unamortized domestic research or development expenditures and (iv) elimination of the deduction for depreciation, amortization and depletion from the definition of “adjusted taxable income” for the purpose of calculating interest expense deductions. We now expect to make cash tax payments of approximately 0% to 5% of income before income taxes for the year ending December 31, 2025 at current commodity prices. Our cash tax payments will be dependent upon a variety of factors that will impact taxable income, including oil and natural gas prices, allowable deductions and any legislative changes thereon, and any tax credits generated that would offset tax liabilities in 2025. We will continue to evaluate the full impact of this new legislation on our consolidated financial statements.

Net cash used in financing activities increased $276.2 million to $233.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from net cash provided by financing activities of $42.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our primary uses of cash from financing activities included (i) net repayments under the Credit Agreement of $190.5 million, (ii) dividends paid of $39.2 million, (iii) net distributions related to San Mateo of $35.6 million and (iv) payment of taxes related to stock-based compensation of $10.5 million. These decreases were partially offset by net borrowings under the San Mateo Credit Facility of $40.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our primary sources of cash from financing activities included proceeds of $344.7 million from our March 2024 underwritten public offering of shares of our common stock, partially offset by (w) net repayments under the Credit Agreement of $240.0 million, (x) dividends paid of $23.9 million, (y) net distributions related to San Mateo of $18.4 million and (z) payment of taxes related to stock-based compensation of $13.5 million.

The increase in net income attributable to Matador shareholders primarily resulted from higher oil and natural gas production and higher realized natural gas prices for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. These increases to net income were partially offset by lower realized oil prices, increased depletion, depreciation and amortization expenses of $281.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $212.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and an income tax provision of $82.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to an income tax provision of $66.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The outstanding borrowings under the San Mateo Credit Facility mature on November 26, 2029, and lender commitments under the facility were $800.0 million at March 31, 2025. The San Mateo Credit Facility includes an accordion feature, which provides for potential increases in lender commitments to up to $1.05 billion. The San Mateo Credit Facility is non-recourse with respect to Matador and its other subsidiaries but is guaranteed by San Mateo’s subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of San Mateo’s assets, including real property. The San Mateo Credit Facility requires San Mateo to maintain a debt to EBITDA ratio, which is defined as total consolidated funded indebtedness outstanding (as defined in the San Mateo Credit Facility) divided by a rolling four quarter EBITDA calculation, of 5.00 or less, subject to certain exceptions. The San Mateo Credit Facility also requires San Mateo to maintain an interest coverage ratio, which is defined as a rolling four quarter EBITDA calculation divided by San Mateo’s consolidated interest expense for such period, of 2.50 or more. The San Mateo Credit Facility also restricts the ability of San Mateo to distribute cash to its members if San Mateo’s debt to EBITDA ratio is greater than 4.50 or San Mateo’s liquidity is less than 10% of the lender commitments under the San Mateo Credit Facility. We believe that San Mateo was in compliance with the terms of the San Mateo Credit Facility at March 31, 2025.

We expect that development of our Delaware Basin assets will be the primary focus of our operations and capital expenditures for the remainder of 2025. We began 2025 operating nine drilling rigs in the Delaware Basin and, as of April 23, 2025, we decided to drop to eight drilling rigs by the middle of 2025. We have built significant optionality into our drilling program, which should generally allow us to decrease or increase the number of rigs we operate as necessary based on changing commodity prices and other factors. At April 23, 2025, we decreased our estimated D/C/E capital expenditures for 2025 to a range of $1.18 to $1.37 billion from a range of $1.28 to $1.47 billion, as we plan to reduce to eight drilling rigs in the middle of the year as well as adjust our completions schedule. At April 23, 2025, our estimated midstream capital expenditures for 2025 remained $120.0 to $180.0 million, which includes our proportionate share of San Mateo’s estimated 2025 capital expenditures as well as the estimated 2025 capital expenditures for other wholly-owned midstream projects. The midstream capital expenditure budget includes 51% of the costs associated with the Marlan Processing Plant Expansion that is expected to be online in the second quarter of 2025. Substantially all of these 2025 estimated capital expenditures are expected to be allocated to (i) the further delineation and development of our leasehold position, (ii) the construction, installation and maintenance of midstream assets and (iii) our participation in certain non-operated well opportunities. Our 2025 Delaware Basin operated drilling program is expected to focus on the continued development of our various asset areas throughout the Delaware Basin, with a continued emphasis on drilling and completing a high percentage of longer horizontal wells.

Current wording

We expect that development of our Delaware Basin assets will be the primary focus of our operations and capital expenditures for the remainder of 2025. We began 2025 operating nine drilling rigs in the Delaware Basin. In response to market and commodity price volatility in the beginning of the second quarter, we contractually released our ninth drilling rig and expect to operate eight drilling rigs by August 1, 2025. We have built significant optionality into our drilling program, which should generally allow us to decrease or increase the number of rigs we operate as necessary based on changing commodity prices and other factors. At July 22, 2025, our estimated drilling, completing and equipping (“D/C/E”) capital expenditures for 2025 remained $1.18 to $1.37 billion. At July 22, 2025, our estimated midstream capital expenditures for 2025 remained $120.0 to $180.0 million, which includes our proportionate share of San Mateo’s estimated 2025 capital expenditures as well as the estimated 2025 capital expenditures for other wholly-owned midstream projects. The midstream capital expenditure budget includes 51% of the costs associated with San Mateo’s construction of an additional natural gas processing plant with a designed inlet capacity of 200 MMcf per day, including a nitrogen rejection unit and additional related facilities, to expand its Marlan cryogenic natural gas processing plant (the “Marlan Processing Plant Expansion”), which came online in the second quarter of 2025. Substantially all of these 2025 estimated capital expenditures are expected to be allocated to (i) the further delineation and development of our leasehold position, (ii) the construction, installation and maintenance of midstream assets and (iii) our participation in certain non-operated well opportunities. Our 2025 Delaware Basin operated drilling program is expected to focus on the continued development of our various asset areas throughout the Delaware Basin, with a continued emphasis on drilling and completing a high percentage of longer horizontal wells.

Previous wording

As we have done in recent years, we may divest portions of our non-core assets as well as consider monetizing other assets, such as certain midstream assets and mineral and royalty interests, as value-creating opportunities arise. During the first quarter of 2025, we divested our remaining assets in the Eagle Ford shale for $22.2 million. In addition, during 2025, we intend to continue evaluating the opportunistic acquisition of producing properties, acreage and mineral interests and midstream assets, principally in the Delaware Basin. These monetizations, divestitures and expenditures are opportunity-specific, and purchase price multiples and per-acre prices can vary significantly based on the asset or prospect. As a result, it is difficult to estimate these 2025 monetizations, divestitures and capital expenditures with any degree of certainty; therefore, we have not provided estimated proceeds related to monetizations or divestitures or estimated capital expenditures related to acquiring producing properties, acreage and mineral interests and midstream assets for 2025.

Our unaudited cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are presented below:

Previous wording

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $259.3 million to $727.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $468.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Excluding changes in operating assets and liabilities, net cash provided by operating activities increased $127.1 million to $608.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $481.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to higher oil and natural gas production and higher realized natural gas prices for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, partially offset by lower realized oil prices. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities between the two periods resulted in a net increase of approximately $132.2 million in net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Current wording

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $167.4 million to $1.23 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $1.06 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Excluding changes in operating assets and liabilities, net cash provided by operating activities increased $151.6 million to $1.18 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $1.02 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to increased oil and natural gas production and higher realized natural gas prices for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, partially offset by lower realized oil prices. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities between the two periods resulted in an increase of $15.8 million in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Previous wording

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $31.7 million to $511.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $543.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to (i) a decrease between the periods of $120.6 million in expenditures related to the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties, (ii) a decrease between the periods of $32.2 million in midstream capital expenditures and (iii) an increase between the periods of $21.3 million related to proceeds from the sale of assets. These decreases were partially offset by an increase between the periods of $141.7 million in D/C/E capital expenditures primarily attributable to our operated and non-operated drilling, completion and equipping activities in the Delaware Basin.

Current wording

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $113.5 million to $1.01 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $1.12 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to (i) a decrease between the periods of $131.0 million in expenditures related to the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties, (ii) a decrease between the periods of $95.3 million in expenditures related to the Ameredev Acquisition and (iii) an increase between the periods of $21.4 million related to proceeds from the sale of assets. These decreases in cash used in investing activities were partially offset by an increase between the periods of $133.8 million in D/C/E capital expenditures primarily attributable to our operated and non-operated drilling, completion and equipping activities in the Delaware Basin.

Previous wording

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased $138.9 million to $644.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $505.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to higher oil and natural gas production and higher realized natural gas prices, partially offset by lower realized oil prices, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Current wording

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased $16.2 million to $594.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $578.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Our business success and financial results are dependent on many factors beyond our control, such as economic, political and regulatory developments, as well as competition from other sources of energy. For example, the recent election of President Trump and a Republican-controlled Congress has altered, and may continue to alter, our current regulatory framework and may impact our business and the oil and gas industry generally. Commodity price volatility, in particular, is a significant risk to our business, cash flows and results of operations. Commodity prices are affected by changes in market supply and demand, which are impacted by overall economic activity, ongoing military conflicts, including ongoing military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, political instability, particularly in China and in the Middle East, the actions of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, Russia and certain other oil-exporting countries (“OPEC+”), weather, pipeline capacity constraints, inventory storage levels, domestic or global health concerns, oil and natural gas price differentials and other factors.

Oil prices were lower in the first quarter of 2025, as compared to the first quarter of 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, oil prices averaged $71.42 per Bbl, ranging from a high of $80.04 per Bbl in mid-January to a low of $66.03 per Bbl in mid-March, based upon the West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) oil futures contract price for the earliest delivery date. Oil prices averaged $76.91 per Bbl for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We realized a weighted average oil price of $72.38 per Bbl (with no realized gains or losses from oil derivatives) for our oil production for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $77.58 per Bbl (with no realized gains or losses from oil derivatives) for our oil production for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Oil prices have experienced increased volatility since March 31, 2025. At April 23, 2025, the WTI oil futures contract for the earliest delivery date had decreased from the average price for the first quarter of 2025 of $71.42 per Bbl, settling at $62.27 per Bbl, which was a decrease as compared to $83.36 per Bbl at April 23, 2024.

Realized gain on derivatives. Our realized gain on derivatives was $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to a realized gain of $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. We realized a net gain of $9.7 million related to our natural gas basis differential swap contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2025, resulting primarily from natural gas basis differentials that were below the fixed prices of our natural gas basis differential swap contracts. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we realized a net gain of $4.0 million related to our natural gas basis differential swap contracts, resulting primarily from natural gas basis differentials that were below the fixed prices of our natural gas basis differential swap contracts. We realized an average gain on our natural gas derivatives of approximately $0.10 per Mcf produced during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to an average gain of approximately $0.06 per Mcf produced during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Interest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred total interest expense of approximately $117.8 million. We capitalized approximately $14.9 million of our interest expense on certain qualifying projects for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and expensed the remaining $102.8 million to operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred total interest expense of approximately $90.7 million. We capitalized approximately $15.2 million of our interest expense on certain qualifying projects for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and expensed the remaining $75.5 million to operations. The increase in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to an increase in our total senior notes outstanding to $2.15 billion at June 30, 2025, as compared to $1.40 billion at June 30, 2024.
