Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Business and Basis of Presentation

General

BKV Corporation (“BKV Corp”) was formed on May 1, 2020 and is a corporation registered with the State of Delaware. BKV Corp is a growth driven energy company focused on creating value for its shareholders through organic development of its properties, as well as accretive acquisitions. BKV Corp’s core business is to produce natural gas from its owned and operated upstream businesses.

The majority shareholder of BKV Corp is BNAC. BKV Corp’s ultimate parent company is Banpu Public Company Limited, a public company listed in the Stock Exchange of Thailand. As of November 10, 2025, the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, BNAC owned 71.0% of BKV Corp's shares. The remaining 29.0% of shares of common stock of BKV Corp were owned by non-controlling members of management, members of the board of directors, and employee and non-employee shareholders.

Basis of Presentation of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Principles of Consolidation

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts for BKV Corp’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and majority-owned subsidiaries in which BKV Corp has a controlling interest. The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as certain disclosures and information required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include normal and recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented herein. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any other future annual or interim period. The December 31, 2024 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements.

Together, BKV Corp, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and its majority-owned subsidiaries where BKV Corp has a controlling interest and is the primary beneficiary, are referred to collectively as “BKV” or the “Company.” All intercompany balances and transactions between these entities have been eliminated within the condensed consolidated financial statements. Current and deferred income taxes and related tax expense have been determined based on the stand-alone results of BKV by applying the separate return method to BKV’s operations as if it were a separate taxpayer.

Business Segment Information

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280 -Segment Reporting, the Company is organized, managed, and identified asone operating segment andone reportable segment as the Company does not distinguish between business lines for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance management. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), evaluates financial performance on a consolidated basis, primarily using net income from the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the CODM reviews reported consolidated revenues, significant segment expenses, and other segment items as presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a monthly basis to allocate resources, manage liquidity, and assess overall Company performance relative to budget. The CODM also monitors total assets and capital expenditures, on a consolidated basis, as presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, respectively.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company identified an error in its previously issued consolidated financial statements that originated prior to January 1, 2021. Specifically, in connection with the corporate restructuring of BKV Corp in 2020, the tax basis of certain assets was calculated in error resulting in an understatement of deferred tax liabilities, net of $7.4 million, an understatement of tax expense, and an overstatement of retained earnings.

17

Management assessed the materiality of this error and concluded it was not material to the Company's previously issued financial statements. Management has revised its previously issued consolidated financial statements to correct the errors as follows (in thousands):

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This standard requires that entities (i) disclose amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization, including those recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption, (ii) include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements, (iii) disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and (iv) disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. This standard is effective January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company’s disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. Under the new standard, companies may capitalize eligible costs when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. The standard may be applied prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated operating results, cash flows, financial condition, and related disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires entities to disclose the title of the chief operating decision maker and, on an interim and annual basis, significant segment expenses and the composition of other segment items for each segment’s reported profit. The standard also permits disclosure of additional measures of segment profit. BKV adopted this guidance effective as of January 1, 2024, and currently identifiesone operating segment andone reportable segment.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose more consistent and detailed categories in their statutory to effective income tax rate reconciliations and further disaggregate income taxes paid by jurisdiction. For each annual period presented, the new standard requires disclosure of the year-to-date amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. It also requires additional disaggregated information on income taxes paid (net of refunds received) to an individual jurisdiction equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). This ASU is effective for the Company prospectively to all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025.

Note 2 - Acquisition

On September 29, 2025, BKV Upstream Midstream acquired 100% of the equity interests of Bedrock Production, LLC (now known as BKV Barnett II, LLC (“BKV Barnett II”)), a Texas limited liability company (such transaction, the “Bedrock Acquisition”) from Bedrock Energy Partners, LLC (the “Seller”), pursuant to a Membership Purchase Agreement (the “Bedrock Purchase Agreement”). BKV Barnett II and its subsidiaries own certain oil and natural gas producing properties and midstream assets in the Barnett Shale.

On September 29, 2025 in connection with the closing, the Company paid a portion of the purchase price consisting of (i) a $37.0 million deposit retained as a holdback for any Company indemnification claims until released on the terms and conditions contained in the Bedrock Purchase Agreement, (ii) approximately $179.5 million in cash to repay certain indebtedness of BKV Barnett II, and (iii) the issuance to the Seller of approximately 5.2 million shares of BKV Corporation common stock with such number of shares having been determined as of the date of execution of the Bedrock Purchase Agreement. The remaining purchase price consideration, expected to be approximately $53.1 million, subject to customary adjustment, will be paid in cash by December 31, 2025, subject to the terms and conditions of the Bedrock Purchase Agreement. The Bedrock Purchase Agreement has an economic effective date of July 1, 2025.

19

The Company funded the cash consideration paid at the closing of the Bedrock Acquisition, and expects to fund the remainder of the consideration payable, with proceeds from the 2030 Senior Notes, borrowings under the RBL Credit Agreement, and cash on hand. Refer to Note 3 - Debt for further information.

As a result of the Bedrock Acquisition, the Company acquired approximately 99,000 net acres and gas gathering lines, 1,121 producing locations with low 1- and 5-year base decline rates of approximately 7%, and nearly 1 Tcfe of proved reserves (>70% PDP reserves) using NYMEX strip pricing. The Bedrock Acquisition is expected to increase the Company's low-declining PDP reserves by over 100 MMcfe/d and enhance its inventory in the Barnett Shale, aligning with the Company's strategic position in the Fort Worth Basin.

Allocation of Purchase Price. The Bedrock Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition as the fair value of substantially all the assets acquired were concentrated in a group of similar assets. Transaction costs incurred to acquire the assets, which amounted to $3.8 million, were capitalized and included in the cost basis of the acquired assets. The Company expects to complete the purchase price assessment by December 31, 2025, which is when the remainder of the purchase price consideration of approximately $53.1 million, subject to customary adjustment, is due. The stock consideration paid to Seller for the Bedrock Acquisition was valued at $124.3 million on the date of issuance (at closing) resulting in an aggregate value of consideration paid (or to be paid) to the Seller of $397.7 million, subject to customary adjustments, including, but not limited to estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

2030 Senior Notes

On September 26, 2025, BKV Upstream Midstream issued in a private placement $500.0 million of 7.50% senior unsecured notes due October 15, 2030 (the “2030 Senior Notes”). The 2030 Senior Notes were issued at par and resulted in proceeds of $490.0 million, after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions. The proceeds were used to repay a portion of the RBL Credit Agreement and fund a portion of the purchase price of the Bedrock Acquisition, with the remainder of the purchase price being funded with shares of BKV's common stock. In connection with the issuance of the 2030 Senior Notes, the Company recorded debt issuance costs of $13.4 million, which are amortized to interest expense on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations over the term of the 2030 Senior Notes. As of September 30, 2025, the effective interest rate on the 2030 Senior Notes was 8.31%.

Interest on the 2030 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on April 15, 2026. The 2030 Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and all of BKV Upstream Midstream's existing restricted subsidiaries and certain future subsidiaries (collectively, the “BKV Guarantors,” and such guarantees, the “Guarantees”). These Guarantees are full, unconditional, joint, and several among the BKV Guarantors, subject to certain customary release provisions. At any time prior to October 15, 2027, BKV Upstream Midstream may, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the 2030 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of 2030 Senior Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. On or after October 15, 2027, BKV Upstream Midstream may, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or part of the 2030 Senior Notes at the redemption prices set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on October 15 of the years indicated below:

YearPercentage
2027103.750%
2028101.875%
2029 and thereafter100.000%

The indenture governing the 2030 Senior Notes contains covenants that limit the ability of BKV Upstream Midstream and its restricted subsidiaries to: (i) pay dividends on, purchase or redeem its capital stock or purchase or redeem certain subordinated debt; (ii) make certain investments; (iii) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain types of preferred equity securities; (iv) create or incur certain secured debt; (v) sell assets; (vi) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets; (vii) enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from its restricted subsidiaries to BKV Upstream Midstream; (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates; and (ix) create or designate unrestricted subsidiaries.

The indenture governing the 2030 Senior Notes also contains customary events of default, including (i) default for 30 days in payment when due and payable of interest on the 2030 Senior Notes; (ii) default in payment when due and payable of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the 2030 Senior Notes; (iii) cross-defaults to certain indebtedness; and (iv) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to BKV Upstream Midstream or certain of its restricted subsidiaries. If an event of default arises from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, with respect to BKV Upstream Midstream or certain of its restricted subsidiaries, all outstanding 2030 Senior Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2030 Senior Notes may declare all the 2030 Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately.

If BKV Upstream Midstream experiences certain types of changes of control and the rating of the 2030 Senior Notes is reduced as a result thereof within 60 days, holders of the 2030 Senior Notes will be entitled to require BKV Upstream Midstream

21

to repurchase the 2030 Senior Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, pursuant to an offer on the terms set forth in the indenture governing the 2030 Senior Notes.

RBL Credit Agreement

On June 11, 2024, the Company and BKV Upstream Midstream entered into the RBL Credit Agreement with BKV Upstream Midstream as the borrower and BKV Corp as the guarantor on the RBL Credit Agreement. The RBL Credit Agreement includes a maximum credit commitment of $1.5 billion. On September 22, 2025, with the unanimous consent of the credit facility lenders, the Company and BKV Upstream Midstream amended the RBL Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase the borrowing base by $150.0 million and the elected commitment by $135.0 million. This amendment constituted the semiannual borrowing base redetermination. As of September 30, 2025, the RBL Credit Agreement had a borrowing base of $1.0 billion, an elected commitment of $800.0 million, and the ability to issue up to $40.0 million in letters of credit. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company's RBL Credit Agreement had an outstanding balance ofzero and $165.0 million, respectively. As of November 10, 2025, $15.0 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the RBL Credit Agreement, leaving $785.0 million of available capacity thereunder for future borrowings and letters of credit.

The loans may be borrowed, repaid, and reborrowed during the term of the RBL Credit Agreement. The RBL Credit Agreement matures on June 12, 2028. The obligations under the RBL Credit Agreement are secured and guaranteed on a secured basis by all of BKV Upstream Midstream’s current and future material restricted subsidiaries. Loans under the RBL Credit Agreement bear interest at one, three, or six-month term SOFR or an ABR, as applicable, plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% for SOFR borrowings, plus an applicable margin per annum. Interest is payable on the last day of each interest period and at maturity. BKV Upstream Midstream is obligated to pay certain fees to the lenders and administrative agent under the RBL Credit Agreement, including commitment fees on the average daily amount of the undrawn portion of the commitments. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, BKV Upstream Midstream recognized $0.5 million and a negligible amount, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, recognized $1.5 million and a negligible amount, respectively, of commitment fees, which are included in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The RBL Credit Agreement contains various restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit BKV Upstream Midstream's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, subject to certain exceptions: (i) incur indebtedness; (ii) incur liens; (iii) acquire or merge with any other company; (iv) sell assets or equity interests of its subsidiaries; (v) make investments; (vi) pay dividends or make other restricted payments; (vii) change its lines of business; (viii) enter into certain hedge agreements; (ix) enter into transactions with affiliates; (x) own any subsidiary that is not organized in the United States; (xi) prepay any unsecured senior or subordinated indebtedness; (xii) engage in certain marketing activities; and (xiii) allow, on a net basis, gas imbalances, take-or-pay, or other prepayments with respect to proved oil and gas properties.

The RBL Credit Agreement requires BKV Upstream Midstream to always hedge not less than 50% of reasonably anticipated projected production from our proved developed producing reserves for the subsequent 24 calendar month period immediately following the date financial statements are required to be delivered under the RBL Credit Agreement for each fiscal quarter.

The RBL Credit Agreement also includes financial covenants that require BKV Upstream Midstream to maintain:

on a quarterly basis, a minimum Current Ratio (as defined in the RBL Credit Agreement) of no less than 1.00 to 1.00; and

on a quarterly basis, a Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the RBL Credit Agreement) of no greater than 3.25 to 1.00.

The RBL Credit Agreement includes customary equity cure rights that will enable BKV Upstream Midstream to cure certain breaches of the minimum current ratio covenant or the maximum net leverage ratio covenant (subject to certain limitations in the RBL Credit Agreement). As of September 30, 2025, BKV Upstream Midstream was in compliance with such covenants in the RBL Credit Agreement.

The RBL Credit Agreement generally includes customary events of default for a reserve-based credit facility, some of which allow for an opportunity to cure. If an event of default relating to bankruptcy or other insolvency events occurs, the revolving loans will immediately become due and payable; if any other event of default exists, the administrative agent or the requisite lenders will be permitted to accelerate the maturity of the revolving loans. The RBL Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of BKV Upstream Midstream's assets and those of the guarantors, and upon an event of default the agent under the RBL Credit Agreement could commence foreclosure proceedings.

22

Financing costs related to the RBL Credit Agreement are deferred and capitalized as debt issuance costs and are included within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $7.6 million and $6.9 million, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs remained outstanding. As of September 30, 2025, the RBL Credit Agreement had azero balance and the outstanding letters of credit were $15.0 million. As of December 31, 2024, the effective interest rate on the RBL Credit Agreement was 7.50%, and the outstanding letters of credit were $14.1 million.

Depreciation expense for other property and equipment was $1.2 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $4.5 million and $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company received proceeds on the sale of other properties and equipment of $5.6 million and $6.9 million, respectively, which included the sale of the Bridgeport field office of $5.5 million, less transaction costs of $0.4 million, and recognized a loss on sale of these properties and equipment of $0.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company received proceeds on the sale of other properties and equipment of $1.7 million and recognized a gain of $0.8 million on sale of these properties and equipment. The gain (loss) on sale of other property and equipment is included in the other revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Sales of BKV Chaffee Corners, LLC and BKV Chelsea, LLC

On June 14, 2024, the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary, Chaffee, representing a non-operated interest in approximately 9,800 net acres and 116.0 gross (24.2 net) wells and 122 Bcfe of proved reserves in NEPA, as well as the Company's interest in the Repsol Oil and Gas operated midstream system, for $106.7 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of Chaffee of $6.0 million, net of transaction costs of $3.5 million, which is included in the gain on sale of business in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized additional proceeds of $1.1 million upon final settlement on December 6, 2024.

23

On June 28, 2024, Chelsea sold certain of its non-operated upstream assets, including interest in approximately 6,800 net acres and 214.0 gross (15.4 net) wells and 35 Bcfe of proved reserves in NEPA, for a purchase price of $25.0 million, subject to adjustment, and transaction costs of approximately $0.5 million. The purchase price was reduced by $0.2 million upon final settlement on November 18, 2024. Due to the immateriality of the upstream assets sold, the Company utilized the practical expedient to account for the sale of Chelsea's non-operated upstream assets sold as a normal retirement with no gain or loss recognized as sale of these assets did not significantly impact the depletion rate with respect to the total reserves retained in NEPA.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company held approximately 19,097 net acres in NEPA,97% of which were held by production, and approximately 551,976 net acres in the Barnett,98% of which were held by production. The Barnett includes the net acres from the Bedrock Acquisition of approximately 99,000 net acres,95% of which are held by production.

Write-Off of ERP System

During 2025, the Company was actively implementing a new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system and had capitalized $6.9 million in software costs. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company decided to discontinue implementation of this ERP system and wrote off approximately $5.6 million of capitalized software costs as the system was determined to no longer align with the Company's operational and strategic needs. The Company is evaluating a new ERP system that better supports its business processes and long-term objectives.

Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements

As the Company uses the market approach to determine the fair value of its derivative instruments, these fair values are also compared to the values given by counterparties for reasonableness. Since natural gas and NGL swaps do not include optionality and therefore generally have no unobservable inputs, they are classified as Level 2. The Company factors its own non-performance risk into the valuation of derivatives using current published credit default swap rates. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the impact of the non-performance risk adjustment to the Company's fair value of commodity derivative liabilities was $3.4 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

The contingent consideration was generated from the Devon Barnett Acquisition. As of December 31, 2024, the contingent consideration was included in current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a payable as the final payout of$20.0 million was made on January 8, 2025. The Devon Barnett Acquisition and the Exxon Barnett Acquisition contingencies are

described further in Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies. The Devon Barnett Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition with the contingent consideration meeting the criteria of a derivative in accordance with ASC 815 -Derivatives and Hedging. See Note 6 - Derivative Instrumentsfor further discussion.

The minority ownership puttable shares from the 2021 Plan (as defined in Note 9 - Stockholders' Equity) were recorded at fair value upon initial recognition in mezzanine equity, and its common stock was valued using both observable (Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3) inputs. Subsequent to the Company's IPO, the minority ownership puttable shares were converted to common stock. The minority ownership puttable shares are further described in Note 9 - Stockholders' Equity.

Equity-based compensation from the 2021 Plan was recorded at fair market value on the grant date. The underlying market condition was valued using the application of Monte Carlo simulations using both observable (Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3) inputs. Prior to the Company's IPO, the remaining components of the awards were valued based on the fair market value of the common stock of the Company, determined using the same valuation methodologies applied to the minority ownership puttable shares. Equity-based compensation is further described in Note 9 - Stockholders' Equity.

Other Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Long-term debt obligations under the RBL Credit Facility also approximate fair value because the variable rates of interest are market-based. The fair value of the 2030 Senior Notes as of September 30, 2025 was approximately $500.2 million based on quoted market prices from banks and are classified Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The 2030 Senior Notes are carried on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at its original issuance value, as adjusted over time to accrete that value to par.

Note 6 - Derivative Instruments

The Company may utilize derivative contracts in connection with its natural gas and NGL operations to provide an economic hedge of the Company’s exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future natural gas and NGL production. The Company also determined that the contingent consideration generated from the Devon Barnett Acquisition met the definition of a derivative in accordance with ASC 815 -Derivatives and Hedging, and the fair value of the contingent consideration was $20.0 million as of December 31, 2024, and is included in contingent consideration payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The change in the fair value of this contingent consideration was a gain of $3.9 million and a gain of $7.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and is included in gains on contingent consideration liabilities on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies for further discussion.

Collar, Commodity Swap, and Basis Swap Contracts

A commodity collar provides for a price floor and a price ceiling. The floating price for the collar contract is traded for a fixed price when the floating price is not between the floor and ceiling. If the floating price is between these contracted prices, no trade occurs. A commodity swap agreement is an agreement whereby a floating price based on the underlying commodity is traded for a fixed price over a specified period. Basis swaps provide a guaranteed price differential for natural gas from two different specified delivery points over a specified period. The fair value of open collar, commodity swap, and basis swap contracts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Company terminated its position in the respective contract.

Derivative Contracts

The following tables set forth the derivative gains, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations:

Derivative gains, net$74,890$35,308$34,907$24,143

Settled derivative gains, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, includes gains of $13.3 million related to the termination of certain natural gas commodity derivative swap contracts prior to their contractual settlement dates. $8.4 million of such gains is attributable to early-terminated natural gas commodity derivative swap contracts covering production during the

26

nine months ended September 30, 2024. There wereno early-terminated natural gas commodity swap contracts during the three months ended September 30, 2024, or during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

During the first quarter in 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell a call option and subsequently received a net premium of $23.5 million for contracts that settle in 2026 and 2027. The call option has an established ceiling price of $5.00 per MMBtu. If at the time of settlement the contracted settlement price exceeds the ceiling price, the Company pays the counterparty an amount equal to the difference between the contracted settlement price and the ceiling price multiplied by the contract volumes. The premium received was recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written.

During the first quarter in 2025, the Company entered into agreements to buy put options and subsequently paid a net premium of $16.2 million for contracts that settle in 2026 and 2027. The put options have an established floor of $3.00 per MMBtu. If at the time of settlement the contracted settlement price falls below the floor, the counterparties pay the Company an amount equal to the difference between the contracted settlement price and the floor multiplied by the contract volumes. The premium paid was recorded as an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written.

Volume of Derivative Activities

As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s derivative activities based on volume and contract prices, categorized by primary underlying risk and related commodity, by year, were as follows:

Accounts Receivable and Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable result from the sale of natural gas and joint interest billings. The Company sells natural gas, NGLs, and oil to fewer than five customers and bills working interest owners for costs related to development of the Company’s natural gas properties. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s receivables from contracts with customers were $49.2 million and $45.8 million, respectively. Also, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, one purchaser accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivables, and for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, that purchaser’s revenues were $146.9 million and $88.1 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the same purchaser’s revenues were $467.0 million and $264.2 million, respectively. Another purchaser’s revenues, that also accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 amounted to $37.2 million and $33.2 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, amounted to $115.3 million and $107.7 million, respectively. The Company does not believe that the loss of these customers would have a material adverse effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements because alternative customers are readily available.

Note 9 - Stockholders' Equity

Equity-Based Compensation

2024 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan

The Company's 2024 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2024 Plan”) became effective immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO. The 2024 Plan permits the grant of awards to the non-employee directors, officers, and other employees of BKV Corp and its controlled subsidiaries in order to provide incentives and rewards for service and/or performance. The Company may grant stock options, appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares, performance units, cash incentive awards, and certain other awards based on or related to shares of the Company's common stock.

30

Under the 2024 Plan, the Company can issue up to 5,000,000 shares of its common stock, which are subject to adjustment to reflect any extraordinary cash dividend, stock dividend, split, or combination of the Company's common stock. The aggregate number of shares of the Company's common stock available for award under the 2024 Plan will be reduced byone share of the Company's common stock for every one share of its common stock subject to an award granted under the 2024 Plan. Each grant of an award under the 2024 Plan will be evidenced by an award agreement that includes terms and provisions, determined by the Company's Compensation Committee (or other committee of the board of directors designated by the board to administer the 2024 Plan), which outlines the number of shares of common stock, earning or vesting terms, and any other terms consistent with the 2024 Plan.

Any shares of common stock awarded under the 2024 Plan that have been canceled, forfeited, expired, settled for cash shares, or is unearned (in whole or part) will be added back to the aggregate number of shares of common stock available under the 2024 Plan, with the exception of the following: (i) shares of common stock withheld by the Company in payment of the exercise price of a stock option; (ii) shares of common stock tendered or otherwise used in payment of the exercise price of a stock option; (iii) shares of common stock withheld by the Company or tendered or otherwise used to satisfy a tax withholding obligation; (iv) shares of common stock subject to share-settled appreciation rights that are not actually issued in connection with the settlement of such appreciation right; and (v) shares of common stock reacquired by the Company on the open market or otherwise using cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options. As of September 30, 2025,2,699,889 shares were available for future grants under the 2024 Plan.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

On September 27, 2024, the Company granted 704,649 performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) under the 2024 Plan that cliff vest on December 31, 2026 and are subject to a performance period beginning January 1, 2024 and ending on December 31, 2026. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company granted 40,891 and 663,596, respectively, PRSUs, which cliff vest on December 31, 2027, and are subject to a performance period beginning January 1, 2025 and ending on December 31, 2027 (collectively with the grants issued in 2024, the “PRSU Performance Period”). The table below summarizes the PRSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

(in thousands, except per share amounts)SharesWeighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested PRSUs as of January 1, 2025703$12.23
Granted664$19.19
Vested(53)$13.43
Forfeited(105)$14.24
Unvested PRSUs as of September 30, 20251,209$15.82

These PRSUs are eligible to be earned based on three performance conditions: (i) annualized Total Shareholder Return (“aTSR”) of the Company's common stock during the PRSU Performance Period, weighted at 30%, (ii) relative Total Shareholder Return (“rTSR”) of the common stock of the Company's benchmark group during the PRSU Performance Period, weighted at 30%, and (iii) Return on Capital Employed (“ROCE”) based on the average annual performance over the PRSU Performance Period, weighted at 40%.

The aTSR and rTSR components of the awards are market-based conditions valued using the Monte-Carlo Simulation pricing model, which calculates multiple potential outcomes and establishes grant date fair value based on the most likely outcome. For purposes of the grant date fair value during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the aTSR and rTSR components assumed a risk free rate of 3.7%, a dividend yield of animmaterial amount, and volatility of 40% that used a combination of daily historical and implied volatility over a look back period commensurate with the remaining term of the assets. The weighted average grant date fair values of the aTSR and rTSR components of PRSU awards granted were $15.78 and $29.30, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2025, and $14.26 and $23.73, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

ROCE is considered to be a non-market performance condition. Thus, the likelihood of achievement must be reassessed at every reporting period, and compensation expense is adjusted accordingly. As of September 30, 2025, management estimates ROCE performance for the post IPO grants to be lower than the target performance by approximately 1.3%, and for the grants that

31

were issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, to be higher than the target performance level by approximately 51.6%. The grant date fair value of the PRSUs presented in the activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, takes into account the grant date fair value for ROCE, due to the non-market performance conditions being probable of achievement as of the respective modification date or grant date which establishes a grant date fair value. The weighted average grant date fair value of the ROCE component of PRSU awards granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $21.42 and $19.75, respectively.

As of September 30, 2025, there was $15.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the PRSU awards, which will be amortized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

Equity-based compensation related to PRSUs was $1.6 million and $5.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and was negligible during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Equity compensation related to PRSUs is included in general administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Time-Based Restricted Stock Units

On September 27, 2024, the Company granted 469,835 time-based restricted stock units (“TRSUs”) under the 2024 Plan, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company granted 27,258 and 462,031, respectively, TRSUs under the 2024 Plan. Under the applicable provisions of the 2024 Plan, the TRSU incentive award vests annually over three anniversary dates in equal portions with the first tranche vesting on January 1, 2025, subject to continued employment with the Company and board of director approval. The table below summarizes the TRSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

(in thousands, except per share amounts)SharesWeighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested TRSUs as of January 1, 2025469$18.05

Forfeited(76)$18.52
Unvested TRSUs as of September 30, 2025699$19.27

As of September 30, 2025, there was $10.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the 2024 TRSU awards, which will be amortized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

Equity-based compensation related to the TRSUs was $1.3 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $3.4 million and $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which is included in general administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) became effective immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO. A total of 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock are available for awards under the ESPP and only permits eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company's common stock through payroll deductions, which cannot exceed 10% of the employee's eligible compensation. The ESPP will be implemented through a series of offerings of up to a period of 27 months, which will consist ofone offering period. During the offering period, payroll contributions will accumulate without interest and, on the last trading day of the offering period, accumulated payroll deductions will be used to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized equity-based compensation expense related to the ESPP of a negligible amount, which is included in general administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

2021 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan

On January 1, 2021, the BKV Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was established. Upon consummation of the IPO,7,724,499 RSUs were considered to have been granted under ASC 718 -Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), when taking into consideration performance RSUs at the maximum performance level and TRSUs

32

anticipated to be legally granted in thethree years following inception. As of December 31, 2024, the awards considered granted under ASC 718 since inception equaled the number of RSUs legally granted. Prior to the Company's IPO, RSUs under the 2021 Plan were recognized in mezzanine equity on the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity and mezzanine equity and were valued using unobservable inputs. See Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements for further detail.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

PRSUs cliff vest and were subject to a vesting or performance period beginning January 1, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2023 (the “Performance Period”). As of December 31, 2023, or the Performance Period, the Company achieved its goals as follows: TSR met its threshold at 136%, ROCE met its threshold at 131%, and IPO readiness met its threshold at 200%. In February 2024, the Plan’s committee approved the Company’s goals and the PRSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2023, vested with some being forfeited prior to the Plan’s approval.

Variable Interest Entities

BKV-CIP Joint Venture

On May 8, 2025, BKV dCarbon Ventures, together with C Squared Solutions, Inc. (the “Class B Member”), a subsidiary of the Energy Transition Fund managed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), and for the limited purposes specified therein, BKV Corporation, entered into the BKV-CIP JV Agreement forming BKV dCarbon Project, LLC (the “BKV-CIP Joint Venture”) for the purpose of developing CCUS projects. On May 8, 2025, BKV dCarbon Ventures contributed to the BKV-CIP Joint Venture $40.3 million of CCUS assets that included the BKV dCarbon Barnett Zero, LLC and BKV dCarbon Las Tiendas, LLC and related assets (including the Barnett Zero and Eagle Ford CCUS projects), and $4.1 million of Section 45Q accrued receivables at carrying value, and committed to future contributions of certain CCUS projects, related assets, and/or cash in exchange for an interest in the BKV-CIP Joint Venture and 4,796,421 Class A Units at $10.00 per share. The Class B Member committed up to an initial $500.0 million in cash for use by the BKV-CIP Joint Venture in construction and operating new CCUS projects across the United States in exchange for no more than a 49% interest in the BKV-CIP Joint Venture and 49% of the Section 45Q tax credits generated in 2024 through the date of the BKV-CIP JV Agreement. As of September 30, 2025, the Class

34

B Member contributed $11.0 million and was obligated to contribute an additional $6.9 million, which was contributed on October 1, 2025. In exchange for the Class B Member's contribution to the BKV-CIP Joint Venture as of September 30, 2025, the Class B Member has received a total of 1,103,773 of the BKV-CIP Joint Venture's Class B Units at $10.00 per share. The subscription receivable as of September 30, 2025 of $6.9 million is netted within noncontrolling interest and mezzanine equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Net income (loss) is allocated to each member pursuant to the BKV-CIP JV Agreement's liquidation provisions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, BKV dCarbon Ventures and the Class B Member's allocation in BKV-CIP Joint Venture's net income (loss) was 55% and 45%, respectively.

BKV-BPP Cotton Cove Joint Venture

On June 26, 2025, BKV dCarbon Ventures and BPPUS amended and restated the BKV-BPP Cotton Cove, LLC Agreement whereby on July 9, 2025, BKV dCarbon Ventures contributed $3.3 million to BKV-BPP Cotton Cove, net of $0.1 million of expenditures paid by BKV dCarbon Ventures on behalf of BKV-BPP Cotton Cove, and on July 10, 2025, BPPUS received $5.4 million of its initial capital contribution of $8.6 million from BKV-BPP Cotton Cove. On July 31, 2025, BKV dCarbon Ventures and BPPUS contributed an additional $3.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively.

As a result of these transactions, BKV dCarbon Ventures owns a 51% controlling interest in BKV-BPP Cotton Cove, with BPPUS retaining a 49% interest. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the consideration transferred recognized as noncontrolling interest within equity. The primary components of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed included the following (in thousands):

Consideration
Cash$6,927
Total consideration6,927
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed
Cash and cash equivalents$2,077
Account receivable, net(624)
Other property and equipment, net5,535
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities(61)
Total net assets acquired$6,927

Both the BKV-CIP Joint Venture and BKV-BPP Cotton Cove Joint Venture were formed to advance the Company’s CCUS strategy and do not represent a material business combination under ASC 805, Business Combination, as the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were not significant to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize goodwill or a bargain purchase gain.

The Company considers the BKV-CIP Joint Venture and BKV-BPP Cotton Cove Joint Venture to each be a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidationas the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these joint ventures. Generally, a VIE is an entity with at least one of the following conditions: (i) the total equity investment at risk is insufficient to allow the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (ii) the holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lack the characteristics of having a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is an entity that has a variable interest or a combination of variable interests that provide such entity with a controlling financial interest in the VIE. An entity is deemed to have a controlling financial interest in a VIE if it has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The BKV-CIP Joint Venture and BKV-BPP Cotton Cove are exposed to similar operational risks as the Company, and are each therefore monitored and evaluated on a similar basis by management. The carrying amounts and classification of the

35

consolidated VIE assets and liabilities included in the consolidated balance sheets are as follows (excluding intercompany balances):

(in thousands)September 30, 2025
Assets

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests held by the Class B Member of 49% in the BKV-CIP Joint Venture and by BPPUS of 49% in BKV-BPP Cotton Cove are presented as noncontrolling interest on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Pursuant to the BKV-CIP JV Agreement, the Class B Units are not mandatorily redeemable or currently redeemable, but become exercisable with the passage of time, which is on the second anniversary of the BKV-CIP JV Agreement, or May 8, 2027. The Company determined that there is an embedded put option in the Class B Units, which does not meet the derivative accounting criteria, and is not within control of the Company. Therefore, the shares of the BKV-CIP Joint Venture's Class B Units have been classified as noncontrolling interest within mezzanine equity on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The redemption value of the Class B Units is based on a multiple investment on capital equal to 1.65, which may be redeemed on the second anniversary date. The contributions from the Class B Member are accreted to the redemption value over a 2-year period (using the effective interest method) with the accretion accounted for as a dividend paid to the Class B Member.

As of September 30, 2025, distributions payable to Class B Member was $6.9 million, which represents 49% of the Section 45Q tax credits generated by BKV dCarbon Ventures in 2024. The distributions payable is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be subject to various claims, title matters, and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including environmental contamination claims, personal injury and property damage claims, claims related to joint interest billings and other matters under natural gas operating agreements, and other contractual disputes. The Company maintains general liability and other insurance to cover some of these potential liabilities. All known liabilities are fully accrued based on the Company's best estimate of the potential loss. While the outcome and impact on the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, results may change in future periods. For the periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company believes that its ultimate liability, with respect to any such matters, will not have a significant impact or material adverse effect on its financial positions, results of operations, or cash flows. Results of operations and cash flows, however, could be significantly impacted in the reporting periods in which such matters are resolved.

As a part of the consideration paid for the Devon Barnett Acquisition, additional cash consideration would be required to be paid by the Company if certain thresholds were met for average Henry Hub natural gas and WTI crude oil prices for each of the calendar years during the period beginning January 2021 through December 31, 2024 (the “Devon Barnett Earnout”). Average Henry Hub payouts and threshold were as follows: $2.75/MMBtu $20.0 million, $3.00/MMBtu $25.0 million, $3.25/MMBtu $35.0 million, and $3.50/MMBtu $45.0 million; average WTI payouts and thresholds are as follows for these periods: $50.00/Bbl

36

$10.0 million, $55.00/Bbl $12.5 million, $60.00/Bbl $15.0 million, and $65.00/Bbl $20.0 million. Payments were due in the month following the end of the respective measurement period for which the hurdle rates were set. As of December 31, 2024, the final portion of the arrangement was considered to be settled resulting in a settlement of $20.0 million, which is reflected as contingent consideration payable within current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and was paid on January 8, 2025. As described in Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements and Note 6 - Derivative Instruments, the contingent consideration was accounted for as a derivative instrument. Management uses NYMEX forward pricing estimates for both Henry Hub and WTI hurdle rates and Monte Carlo simulations to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration were gains of $3.9 million and $7.8 million, respectively. These changes in the fair value during this period impacted the associated liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the changes were recognized in the gains on contingent consideration liabilities on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In conjunction with the Exxon Barnett Acquisition, additional cash consideration would have been required to be paid by the Company if certain thresholds for future Henry Hub natural gas prices were met for the year ended December 31, 2024. Based on the thresholds for this period, no payout was required. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the contingent consideration waszero. The changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were gains of a negligible amount and $2.2 million, respectively. These changes in the fair value during this period reduced the associated liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognition of the gains were recognized in the gains on contingent consideration liabilities on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements for the valuation methodology and associated inputs.

The Company has volume commitments in the form of gathering, processing, and transportation agreements with various third parties that require delivery of 968,009,357 dekatherms of natural gas. The significant majority of the agreements terminate by 2029, with one agreement extending through 2036. As of September 30, 2025, the aggregate undiscounted future payments required under these contracts total $278.6 million.

A summary of the Company's commitments, excluding contingent consideration, as of September 30, 2025, is provided in the following table:

Total$21,195$77,125$63,201$54,833$35,204$42,588$294,146

Note 12 - Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax expense (benefit) rates for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were 20.5% and 46.8%, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were 15.3% and (26.0)%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the difference in the effective tax rate from the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% was primarily driven by the benefit of Section 45Q tax credits from the injection of captured CO 2 waste for secure geologic storage in the Barnett Zero CCUS project well, Section 45I tax credits from marginal well production, and state apportionment changes. These tax benefits were partially offset by tax expense associated with the limitation on deductible executive compensation.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted. The OBBBA includes extensions and modifications to certain tax provisions originally enacted under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the narrowing and phase out of certain of the clean energy tax credit provisions originally enacted under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. Key changes include the immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs, the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation, and new interest expense limitation based on EBITDA. These provisions did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Note 13 - Earnings Per Share

Basic net income (loss) attributable to BKV per common share for each period is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to BKV by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to BKV by the diluted weighted average number

37

of common shares outstanding for the respective period. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the Class B Units subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the noncontrolling interest. Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive effect of potential common shares is calculated using the treasury method. The Company includes potential shares of common stock for PRSUs and TRSUs in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding based on the number of common shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period was also the end of the performance period. During periods in which the Company incurred a net loss, diluted weighted average common shares outstanding were equal to basic weighted average of common shares outstanding because the effects of all potential common shares was anti-dilutive.

Note 14 - Subsequent Events

On October 29, 2025, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with BPPUS to acquire one-half of the limited liability company interests of BKV-BPP Power currently held by BPPUS for aggregate consideration of (x) $376.0 million less (y)25% of BKV-BPP Power’s net indebtedness at the closing, which will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in shares of the Company’s common stock. As of September 30, 2025, BKV-BPP Power’s net indebtedness was approximately $581.8 million. The number of shares of common stock to be issued at the closing will be determined by dividing the amount equal to 50% of the purchase price by $21.6609 which is the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock during the 20 consecutive trading-day period ended October 28, 2025. BPPUS has agreed not to dispose of the stock consideration for a period of 180-days following the date on which the stock consideration is delivered to BPPUS. The Company plans to fund the cash portion of the consideration for this transaction with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s RBL Credit Agreement. Upon closing, BKV-BPP Power will be owned 75% by the Company and 25% by BPPUS and the Company will consolidate the financial results of BKV-BPP Power into its consolidated financial statements. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to certain closing conditions, including approval by at least 75% of the disinterested shareholders of Banpu Power, the sole shareholder of BPPUS, represented at the meeting to be called for such purpose.
