"Q2 included our first quarter of sales from our recently added Western Canadian assets and overall sales volumes continued to be very strong averaging 2,436 boepd, up 50% from Q2 2024, and consistent with Q1 2025. We have a considerable amount of activity underway and we are looking forward to an exciting Q3 with the completion and tie-in of our 183-D4 well, our Caburé Unit development wells, and our two most recently drilled multi-lateral wells in Western Saskatchewan . Our 2025 capital program is organically funded and focused on high rate of return opportunities in Brazil and also now in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin."
Operational Update
July Sales Volumes
| Natural gas, NGLs and crude oil sales: | July
2025 | June
2025 | Q2
2025 | | Brazil: | | | | | Natural gas (Mcfpd), by field: | | | | | Caburé | 11,122 | 11,804 | 11,811 | | Murucututu | 1,751 | 1,446 | 1,191 | | Total natural gas (Mcfpd) | 12,873 | 13,250 | 13,002 | | NGLs (bopd) | 130 | 147 | 128 | | Oil (bopd) | 9 | 9 | 3 | | Total (boepd) – Brazil | 2,284 | 2,365 | 2,298 | | Canada: | | | | | Oil (bopd) – Canada | 134 | 149 | 138 | | Total Company – boepd (1) | 2,418 | 2,514 | 2,436 |
| (1) Alvopetro reported volumes are based on sales volumes which, due to the timing of sales deliveries, may differ from production volumes. | |
July sales volumes averaged 2,418 boepd, including 2,284 boepd from Brazil (with natural gas sales of 12.9 MMcfpd, associated natural gas liquids sales from condensate of 130 bopd, and oil sales of 9 bopd) and 134 bopd from oil sales in Canada , based on field estimates.
Quarterly Natural Gas Pricing Update
Effective August 1, 2025 , our natural gas price under our long-term gas sales agreement was adjusted to BRL1.90 /m 3 and will apply to all natural gas sales from August 1, 2025 to October 31, 2025 . Based on our average heat content to date and the July 31, 2025 BRL/USD exchange rate of 5.60, our expected realized price at the new contracted price is $10.27 /Mcf, net of applicable sales taxes, a decrease of 3% from the Q2 2025 realized price of $10.62 /Mcf due mainly to reduced Henry Hub and Brent prices in the second quarter. Amounts ultimately received in equivalent USD will be impacted by exchange rates in effect during the period August 1, 2025 to October 31, 2025 .
Development Activities - Brazil
On our 100% owned Murucututu field, the 183-D4 well was drilled in the second quarter to a total measured depth of 3,072 metres. The well encountered the Caruaçu Member of the Maracangalha Formation 106 metres structurally updip of our 183-A3 well which has been on production since the fourth quarter of 2024. Based on cased-hole gamma ray logs and normalized gas while drilling, the well encountered potential natural gas pay in the Caruaçu Member of the Maracangalha Formation, with an aggregate 61 metres total vertical depth ("TVD") of potential natural gas pay between 2,439 and 2,838 meters TVD. We've now completed the well in seven intervals and expect to have the well on production later in the third quarter. A total of $3.3 million of capital expenditures are estimated on the field in the second half of 2025, including costs for the 183-D4 completion.
Our joint development on the unitized area ("the Unit") which includes our Caburé field commenced in the second quarter and three wells (1.7 net) have now been drilled. The fourth well (0.6 net) is expected to be drilled later in the third quarter. Alvopetro's share of these planned unit development costs in the second half of 2025 is anticipated to be $5.5 million . The timing of drilling the fifth development well (0.6 net) is subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.
Development Activities – Western Canada
In June, we further expanded our joint Mannville focused land based to 17,780 gross acres (8,890 net acres) and in July, two additional multi-lateral wells (1.0 net) were drilled with an aggregate of over 19 kilometers of open hole reservoir contact. Both wells will now be completed and equipped and are expected to be on production later in the third quarter. We expect to drill our next two multi-lateral wells (1.0 net) starting later this year.
Financial and Operating Highlights – Second Quarter of 2025
Average daily sales in Q2 2025 were 2,436 boepd (+50% from Q2 2024 and consistent with Q1 2025 sales of 2,446 boepd). In Brazil , daily sales averaged 2,298 boepd (+41% compared to Q2 2024) and in Canada , oil sales commenced in April 2025 , contributing 138 bopd in the quarter. Our average realized natural gas price was $10.62 /Mcf in Q2 2025 (-10% from Q2 2024 and +2% from Q1 2025). Our overall averaged realized sales price per boe was $63.20 /boe (-12% from Q2 2024 and -1% from Q1 2025). With higher sales volumes, our natural gas, oil and condensate revenue increased to $14.0 million (+31% from Q2 2024). Our operating netback in the quarter was $54.72 per boe, a decrease of $9.58 per boe compared to Q2 2024 due mainly to lower realized sales prices as well as higher royalties. Compared to Q1 2025, our operating netback increased $3.95 per boe with lower royalties partially offset by lower realized prices. We generated funds flows from operations of $10.4 million ( $0.28 per basic and $0.27 per diluted share), increases of $2.5 million compared to Q2 2024 and $1.1 million compared to Q1 2025. We reported net income of $6.8 million ( $0.18 per basic and diluted share), an increase of $4.5 million compared to Q2 2024 due to higher sales volumes as well as foreign exchange gains (compared to foreign exchange losses in Q2 2024), partially offset by lower realized prices and higher royalties, production expenses, depletion and depreciation expense and tax expense. Capital expenditures totaled $9.0 million , including drilling costs for the 183-D4 well on Alvopetro's 100% Murucututu field as well as Alvopetro's share of costs incurred on unit development, including costs for two (1.1 net) of five development wells (2.8 net) which commenced drilling in the quarter. Our working capital surplus was $6.8 million as of June 30, 2025 , decreasing $2.9 million from March 31, 2025 .

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures
This news release contains references to various non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios, capital management measures and supplementary financial measures as such terms are defined in National Instrument 52-112 Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure . Such measures are not recognized measures under GAAP and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. While these measures may be common in the oil and gas industry, the Company's use of these terms may not be comparable to similarly defined measures presented by other companies. The non-GAAP and other financial measures referred to in this report should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than measures prescribed by IFRS and they are not meant to enhance the Company's reported financial performance or position. These are complementary measures that are used by management in assessing the Company's financial performance, efficiency and liquidity and they may be used by investors or other users of this document for the same purpose. Below is a description of the non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios, capital management measures and supplementary financial measures used in this news release. For more information with respect to financial measures which have not been defined by GAAP, including reconciliations to the closest comparable GAAP measure, see the " _Non-GAAP Measures and Other Financial Measures _" section of the Company's MD&A which may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca .
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Operating Netback
Operating netback is calculated as natural gas, oil and condensate revenues less royalties, production expenses, and transportation expenses. This calculation is provided in the " _Operating Netback _" section of the Company's MD&A using our IFRS measures. The Company's MD&A may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca . Operating netback is a common metric used in the oil and gas industry used to demonstrate profitability from operations.
Non-GAAP Financial Ratios
Operating Netback per boe
Operating netback is calculated on a per unit basis, which is per barrel of oil equivalent ("boe"). It is a common non-GAAP measure used in the oil and gas industry and management believes this measurement assists in evaluating the operating performance of the Company. It is a measure of the economic quality of the Company's producing assets and is useful for evaluating variable costs as it provides a reliable measure regardless of fluctuations in production. Alvopetro calculated operating netback per boe as operating netback divided by total sales volumes (boe). This calculation is provided in note 3 of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and in the " _Operating Netback _" section of the Company's MD&A using our IFRS measures. The Company's MD&A may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca . Operating netback is a common metric used in the oil and gas industry used to demonstrate profitability from operations on a per boe basis.
Operating netback margin
Operating netback margin is calculated as operating netback per boe divided by the realized sales price per boe. Operating netback margin is a measure of the profitability per boe relative to natural gas, oil and condensate sales revenues per boe and is calculated as follows:
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | | | | | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | | Operating netback - $ per boe | 54.72 | 64.30 | 52.74 | 65.25 | | Average realized price - $ per boe | 63.20 | 71.97 | 63.43 | 74.00 | | Operating netback margin | 87 % | 89 % | 83 % | 88 % |
Funds Flow from Operations Per Share
Funds flow from operations per share is a non-GAAP ratio that includes all cash generated from operating activities and is calculated before changes in non-cash working capital, divided by the weighted average shares outstanding for the respective period. For the periods reported in this news release the cash flows from operating activities per share and funds flow from operations per share is as follows:
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | | | | $ per share | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | | Per basic share: | | | | | | Cash flows from operating activities | 0.28 | 0.24 | 0.52 | 0.46 | | Funds flow from operations | 0.28 | 0.21 | 0.53 | 0.44 | | | | | | | | Per diluted share: | | | | | | Cash flows from operating activities | 0.28 | 0.24 | 0.51 | 0.45 | | Funds flow from operations | 0.27 | 0.21 | 0.52 | 0.44 |
Capital Management Measures
Funds Flow from Operations
Funds flow from operations is a non-GAAP capital management measure that includes all cash generated from operating activities and is calculated before changes in non-cash working capital. The most comparable GAAP measure to funds flow from operations is cash flows from operating activities. Management considers funds flow from operations important as it helps evaluate financial performance and demonstrates the Company's ability to generate sufficient cash to fund future growth opportunities. Funds flow from operations should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, cash flows from operating activities however management finds that the impact of working capital items on the cash flows reduces the comparability of the metric from period to period. A reconciliation of funds flow from operations to cash flows from operating activities is as follows:
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | | | | | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | | Cash flows from operating activities | 10,473 | 8,860 | 19,290 | 17,073 | | Changes in non-cash working capital | (107) | (950) | 298 | (650) | | Funds flow from operations | 10,366 | 7,910 | 19,588 | 16,423 |
Net Working Capital
Net working capital is computed as current assets less current liabilities. Net working capital is a measure of liquidity, is used to evaluate financial resources, and is calculated as follows:
| | | As at June 30, | | | | | 2025 | 2024 | | Total current assets | | 22,915 | 25,300 | | Total current liabilities | | (16,077) | (10,608) | | Net working capital | | 6,838 | 14,692 |
Supplementary Financial Measures
" _Average realized natural gas price - $/Mcf _" is comprised of natural gas sales as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Company's natural gas sales volumes.
" _Average realized NGL – condensate price - $/bbl _" is comprised of condensate sales as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Company's NGL sales volumes from condensate.
" _Average realized oil price - $/bbl _" is comprised of oil sales as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Company's oil sales volumes.
" _Average realized price - $/boe _" is comprised of natural gas, condensate and oil sales as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Company's total natural gas, NGL and oil sales volumes (barrels of oil equivalent).
