NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

MARCH 31, 2026

Note 1 — Organization, Business Operations, and Going Concern

Organization and General

Sable Offshore Corp. (“Sable,” the “Company” or “we”) (formerly known as Flame Acquisition Corp. or “Flame”) is an independent oil and gas company headquartered in Houston, Texas. Flame was initially formed as a special purpose acquisition company for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On November 2, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of November 2, 2022 (as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), with Sable Offshore Corp., a Texas corporation (“SOC”), and Sable Offshore Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the parent company of SOC (“Holdco” and, together with SOC, “Legacy Sable”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on February 14, 2024, (i) Holdco merged with and into Flame, with Flame surviving such merger (the “Holdco Merger”) and (ii) Legacy Sable merged with and into Flame, with Flame surviving such merger (the “SOC Merger” and, together with the Holdco Merger, the “Mergers” and, along with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Merger”).

On November 1, 2022, SOC, entered into a purchase and sale agreement (as amended, the “Sable-EM Purchase Agreement”) with Exxon Mobil Corporation (“Exxon”) and Mobil Pacific Pipeline Company (“MPPC,” and together with Exxon, “EM”) pursuant to which SOC agreed to acquire from EM certain assets constituting the Santa Ynez field in Federal waters offshore California (“SYU”) and associated onshore processing and pipeline assets (such “Assets,” as defined in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement, collectively the “SYU Assets”). The SYU Assets include the Santa Ynez Pipeline System (“SYPS”), which is a single, integrated and continuous interstate pipeline system that transports crude oil from the SYU onshore and then inland. Specifically, the SYPS is primarily comprised of offshore pipeline segments that transport crude oil from the SYU onshore, midstream processing and storage facilities at Las Flores Canyon (“LFC”) and onshore pipeline segments that transport crude oil to Pentland Station in Kern County, CA.

On February 14, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the Merger and related transactions (the “Business Combination”) contemplated by the Merger Agreement, following which Flame was renamed “Sable Offshore Corp.”. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement, the transactions contemplated by the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement were also consummated on February 14, 2024 (“Sable-EM Closing Date”), immediately after the Business Combination, as a result of which Sable purchased the SYU Assets, effective as of January 1, 2022. On February 15, 2024, Sable’s shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants”) began trading on NYSE under the symbols, “SOC” and “SOC.WS,” respectively.

On March 13, 2026, the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, signed an Executive Order to, among other things, delegate certain authorities under the Defense Production Act of 1950 (“DPA”) to the United States Secretary of Energy. Subsequently, on March 13, 2026, the United States Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, issued an order to the Company invoking the DPA (the “DPA Order”) to immediately prioritize and allocate pipeline transportation services for hydrocarbons from the SYU through the SYPS in order to address the energy scarcity and supply disruption risks caused by California policies that have left the region and U.S. military forces dependent on foreign oil.

On March 14, 2026, the Company resumed the transportation of hydrocarbons (oil) produced at the SYU through the SYPS at the direction of the United States Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, in compliance with the DPA Order. In doing so, the Company facilitates the supply of domestically produced crude oil through U.S. pipeline infrastructure to U.S. refineries, supporting domestic consumers and the U.S. military.

On March 29, 2026, the Company initiated oil sales upon filling the SYPS, resulting in total oil sales volumes of approximately 13,380 barrels for the period ended March 31, 2026.

Unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise requires, references to (i) the “Company,” “Sable,” “we,” “us,” or “our” are to Sable Offshore Corp, a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries, following the Business Combination, (ii) “Flame” refers to Flame Acquisition Corp. prior to the Business Combination, (iii) the SYU refers to the 16 federal leases, three offshore production platforms (Hondo, Harmony, and Heritage), and associated ancillary facilities located in federal waters offshore California, and (iv) the SYPS refers to the interstate pipeline connecting the SYU to the Pentland Station terminal, inclusive of “Pipeline Segment 324” and “Pipeline Segment 325”, or collectively referred to as “Pipeline

Segments 324 and 325” (formerly known as “901/903 Assets” and as defined in the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement), the Las Flores Canyon (“LFC”) onshore processing, storage, and related pipeline assets, and the offshore pipeline connecting the SYU to LFC. The SYU Assets include the SYU and the SYPS.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern. Prior to recommencing oil sales from the SYU Assets and to date, the Company experienced losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations much like other pre-revenue companies. Near-term capital funding needs have historically been addressed with proceeds from the issuance of the Company’s Common Stock and proceeds from the exercise of warrants.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company reported unrestricted cash of $52.2 million, total debt of $956.3 million, and an accumulated deficit of $1.3 billion. On March 29, 2026, the maturity date of the Senior Secured Term Loan was accelerated to 90 days after the first sales of Hydrocarbons (as defined in the Senior Secured Term Loan), or June 26, 2026 (refer to Note 4 — Debt for additional details regarding the acceleration of the maturity date).

Due to the lack of assurance that additional financing, including the refinancing of the Company’s Senior Secured Term Loan, will be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty, including adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets or the classification of liabilities.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. Financial presentation in prior periods has been adjusted to conform with current period presentation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026 may not be representative of the financial results for the full year 2026.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies. The Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include, among others, allocation assumptions and the carrying amount of asset retirement obligations, which are based on the timing and cost of future abandonments, inputs utilized to fair value warrant liabilities, and assumptions used to estimate deferred taxes.

While management believes these estimates are reasonable, changes in facts and assumptions or the discovery of new information may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and it is at least reasonably possible these estimates could be revised in the near term, and these revisions could be material.

Revenue Recognition

The Company currently sells crude oil under a short-term agreement at prevailing market prices, with certain adjustments for product quality and geographic location. The Company recognizes revenue when control transfers to the purchaser at the delivery point and the customer has assumed the risk and rewards of ownership.

Oil and Gas Properties

Linefill. The SYPS is an interstate pipeline that includes (among other pipeline segments and components) (i) Pipeline Segment 324, which extends from LFC to the Gaviota Pump Station in Santa Barbara County, California, and (ii) Pipeline Segment 325, which extends from the Gaviota Pump Station in Santa Barbara County, California, to Pentland Station in Kern County, California with an intermediate station at Sisquoc in San Luis Obispo, California. The Company classifies the quantity of oil used to fill Pipeline Segments 324 and 325 as linefill such that when an incremental barrel of oil is pumped into Pipeline Segments 324 and 325 it forces oil out at the Pentland Station sales point location. Pipeline Segments 324 and 325 have a capacity of approximately 540 MBbls. This linefill is accounted for at historical cost and recognized as a long term asset within Oil and gas properties on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026.

The Company capitalized costs incurred that were directly attributable to filling Pipeline Segments 324 and 325, including associated depreciation, depletion, and amortization. Linefill will not be depreciated, but is subject to impairment in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance with respect to accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Carrying amounts that are not expected to be recoverable through future cash flows are written down to estimated fair value.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

In accordance with ASC 740, the Company’s effective tax rate waszero percent and negative 11.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to no income tax benefit being recognized in the current period as the tax benefit associated with the year–to–date pretax loss exceeds the amount expected to be realized through anticipated ordinary income in subsequent interim periods within the current fiscal year that is more likely than not to be realized. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the variance from the statutory rate was primarily attributable to an increase in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and nondeductible expenses.

Management’s assessment of the realizability of deferred tax assets requires significant judgment and is subject to change in future periods. Changes in these estimates could materially affect the Company’s income tax provision in the period of change.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities include obligations incurred in the ordinary operation of the business for services performed and products received, including capital expenditures that are capitalized as oil and gas properties. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities consisted of the following as of:

(in thousands)March 31, 2026December 31, 2025
Accounts payable$37,657$25,239
Accrued operations expenditures28,03423,929
Accrued general and administrative, and other51,63350,185
Total accounts payable and accrued liabilities$117,324$99,353

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260,“Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per share of Common Stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Common Stock.

Three Months Ended March 31,

Note 4 — Debt

Senior Secured Term Loan

The Company entered into the Senior Secured Term Loan with an initial principal of $625.0 million. The initial principal balance was increased by $16.6 million for material and supplies and $140.0 million for paid-in-kind interest from the effective date through the Closing Date less an $18.8 million cash deposit (which was paid on the Closing Date). The proceeds of the Senior Secured Term Loan were deemed funded on the Closing Date in connection with consummation of the Sable-EM Purchase Agreement. The Senior Secured Term Loan is secured by first-priority liens on substantially all assets of the Company.

On November 3, 2025, the Company and Exxon entered into an amendment (the “Second Debt Amendment”) to the Senior Secured Term Loan, the effectiveness of which was contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the

Company receiving equity contributions in an amount of no less than $225.0 million, net of underwriting fees and other transaction costs and expenses, and other customary closing conditions.

On November 24, 2025, the Second Debt Amendment became effective which extended the maturity date of the Senior Secured Term Loan to the earlier of (i) March 31, 2027 or (ii)90 days after first sales of Hydrocarbons (as defined in the Senior Secured Term Loan). The Second Debt Amendment also increased the interest rate from ten percent (10%) per annum to fifteen percent (15%) per annum, compounded annually (computed on a 360-day year), payable in arrears on January 1st of each year following the effective date. At the Company’s election, accrued but unpaid interest may be deemed paid on each interest payment date by adding the amount of interest owed to the outstanding principal (paid-in-kind) amount under the Senior Secured Term Loan. The Second Debt Amendment also includes additional reporting covenants and a financial liquidity covenant that require the Company to have not less than $25.0 million in unrestricted cash, measured at the end of each month.

On March 29, 2026, the Company initiated oil sales upon filling the SYPS, which accelerated the maturity date of the Senior Secured Term Loan to June 26, 2026.

Unless Sable elects in writing prior to an applicable interest payment date to pay accrued but unpaid interest in cash, all such accrued and unpaid interest shall be compounded annually on January 1st of each year by adding the relevant amount to the then outstanding principal amount of the Senior Secured Term Loan (“paid-in-kind interest”).

Debt Covenants. The Senior Secured Term Loan, dated as of the Closing Date, by and among Sable, EM, as lender, and Alter Domus Products Corp., as the administrative agent for the benefit of the lender, requires that James C. Flores, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, remains directly and actively involved in the day-to-day management of our business, subject to the right of the holder of such indebtedness to approve his replacement, with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

Restrictive covenants in the Senior Secured Term Loan impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries and we may be prevented from taking advantage of business opportunities that arise because of the limitations imposed on us by the Senior Secured Term Loan unless we gain EM’s consent. These restrictions limit our ability to, among other things: engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations, or dissolutions; create or incur debt or liens; make certain debt prepayments; pay dividends, distributions, management fees or certain other restricted payments; make investments, acquisitions, loans, or purchase oil and gas properties; sell, assign, farm-out or dispose of any property; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into, subject to certain exceptions, any agreement that prohibits or restricts liens securing the Senior Secured Term Loan, payments of dividends to us, or payment of debt owed to us and our subsidiaries; and change the nature of our business.

The Senior Secured Term Loan also contains representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, additional negative covenants and events of default (including a change of control). During the pendency of the Senior Secured Term Loan and in case of an event of default thereunder, EM may exercise all remedies at law or equity, and may foreclose upon substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries, including, in the event of a deficiency, cash and any other assets not acquired from EM in the Business Combination to the extent constituting collateral under the applicable financing documents. We may not be able to obtain amendments, waivers or consents for potential or actual breaches of such representations and warranties or covenants, or we may be unable to obtain such amendments waivers or consents on acceptable terms, all of which could limit management’s flexibility to operate the business. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its Senior Secured Term Loan.

Debt consisted of the following as of:

(in thousands)March 31, 2026December 31, 2025
Senior Secured Term Loan, including paid-in-kind interest$956,437$921,868

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company incurred interest expense of $34.7 million and $21.0 million, respectively, which is included as Interest expense on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and the paid-in-kind interest is accrued and included in the Senior Secured Term Loan on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company’s effective interest rate on the Senior Secured Term Loan was approximately 15% and 10%, respectively.

Note 5 — Warrants

There were 7,568,870 and 8,987,062 warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
