All amounts are in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise indicated:
2025 HIGHLIGHTS
Average production for 2025 was 4,013 BOEPD, an increase of 15% compared to 2024 production of 3,478 BOEPD. The increase is due to production from the wells that were drilled and completed in 2025 Net revenues for 2025 were $56.9 million, a decrease of 3% compared to 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a 16% decrease in average prices partially offset by a 15% increase in production in 2025 compared to 2024 Adjusted EBITDA (1) was $42.1 million in 2025 compared to $44.0 million in 2024, a decrease of 4%. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in revenue from lower prices. The Company’s Total Proved Reserves for 2025 increased by 1% to 40.8 million barrels of oil equivalent, from 2024 with an NPV10 of $440.7 million, according to the Company’s December 31, 2025, independent reserves evaluation Net income in 2025 was $15.5 million ($0.44 per basic share) compared to $18.1 million ($0.51 per basic share) in 2024. The decrease was due to lower revenue from lower average prices, higher depletion expense and higher operating expenses due to increased production Netback from operations (2) decreased to $31.49 per BOE compared to $38.54 per BOE in 2024, a decrease of 18% primarily due to lower average prices Production and operating expense per barrel averaged $7.33 per BOE in 2025 compared to $7.44 per BOE in 2024, a decrease of 1%

Kolibri’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Wolf Regener commented:
“We are pleased with the continued production growth of the Company in 2025 to 4,013 BOEPD, which was within our guidance. Over the last three years, we have achieved a fantastic 35% compound annual production growth rate. During 2025, we generated $56.9 million of net revenue and $42.1 of Adjusted EBITDA (1) but they were below our guidance due to fourth quarter oil prices that were 10% below our forecast price as well as delays in new wells coming online due to the drill pipe failure on the Barnes well. The four wells that started production at the end of the year increased our December production to over 5,600 BOE per day. The production and cash flow impact of these wells will now be reflected primarily in our 2026 results. The significant increase in oil prices in March 2026 should further improve our 2026 results.
“We look forward to continuing our success with our 2026 drilling program which we are currently finalizing with an expected start date in June. We are preparing multiple pad locations to be able to quickly increase our planned drilling if oil prices remain elevated through 2026, but we expect our capital expenditures to be significantly lower than 2025 levels.”

YEAR ENDED 2025 TO YEAR ENDED 2024
For 2025, oil and gas gross revenues decreased $2.5 million or 3% to $72.1 million. Oil revenues before royalties decreased by 8% to $63.0 million due to a 15% decrease in prices partially offset by an 8% increase in production. Natural gas revenues before royalties increased by 126% to $3.9 million due to a 58% increase in the average gas price and a 44% increase in natural gas production. NGL revenue before royalties increased by 13% to $5.2 million due to a 27% increase in production partially offset by a 11% decrease in average prices.
Average production for 2025 was 4,013 BOEPD, an increase of 15% compared to 2024 average production of 3,478 BOEPD due to the wells drilled during the year.
Production and operating expenses increased by $1.1 million due to an increase in production for 2025. Production and operating expense per barrel averaged $7.33 per BOE in 2025 compared to $7.44 per BOE in 2024, a decrease of 1%. The 2025 amount includes reassessed production tax adjustments related to prior periods that were recorded in 2025, totaling $0.3 million, or $0.21 per BOE. The 2024 amount includes natural gas and NGL processing costs of $0.8 million, or $0.63 per BOE, related to prior years as the purchaser reassessed prior year gathering and processing costs in 2024. Excluding these adjustments, production and operating expenses per barrel were $7.12 per BOE in 2025 and $6.81 per BOE in 2024, an increase of 5%, due to a higher number of well reworks in 2025.
Depletion and depreciation expense increased $1.1 million, or 7%, in 2025 due to increased production and a higher PP&E balance.
G&A expenses increased $0.1 million or 1% in 2025 due to costs related to a special shareholder meeting that was held in November 2025. Excluding these costs, G&A expenses decreased by 3%.
Finance expense decreased by $0.6 million due a realized loss on commodity contracts of $0.6 million in 2024.
Capital expenditures were $62.6 million in 2025 compared to $31.3 million in 2024, an increase of 100% due a significant increase in drilling activity in 2025 compared to the prior year as the Company drilled four more wells and fracture stimulated two more wells than in 2024. Capital expenditures were over our forecasted guidance due to the redrill costs from the drill pipe failure and severe weather related issues.
FOURTH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS:
Average production for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 4,493 BOEPD, an increase of 1% compared to fourth quarter 2024 production of 4,440 BOEPD. The increase is due to production from the new wells drilled at the end of the year which came on production in December 2025 Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $14.7 million, a decrease of 15% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a 18% decrease in average prices Net income in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $3.3 million ($0.09 per basic share), compared to net income of $5.6 million ($0.16 per basic share) in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was due to lower revenue from decreased average prices and higher operating expenses from higher production Adjusted EBITDA (1) was $10.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $13.5 million in 2024, a decrease of 22%. This decrease was due to a decrease in average prices partially offset by an increase in production Netback from operations (2) decreased to $27.99 per BOE in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $35.94 per BOE in the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of 22%. Netback including commodity contracts (2) for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $28.31 per BOE compared to $35.90 in the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of 21% from the prior year quarter. The 2025 decreases compared to the prior year were due to the 18% decrease in average prices Production and operating expense per barrel averaged $7.67 per BOE in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $6.59 per BOE in the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of 16% due to reworking a well.

The information outlined above is extracted from and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the related management's discussion and analysis thereof, copies of which are available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca .
NON-GAAP MEASURES
Netback from operations, netback including commodity contracts and adjusted EBITDA (collectively, the "Company’s Non-GAAP Measures") are not measures or ratios recognized under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. Management of the Company believes that such measures and ratios are relevant for evaluating returns on each of the Company's projects as well as the performance of the enterprise as a whole. The Company's Non-GAAP Measures may differ from similar computations as reported by other similar organizations and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures and ratios as reported by such organizations. The Company’s Non-GAAP Measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income, cash flows related to operating activities, working capital or other financial measures and ratios determined in accordance with IFRS, as an indicator of the Company's performance.
An explanation of how the Company’s Non-GAAP Measures provide useful information to an investor and the purposes for which the Company’s management uses the Non-GAAP Measures is set out in the management's discussion and analysis under the heading “Non-GAAP Measures” which is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and is incorporated by reference into this earnings release.
Netback from operations per barrel and its components are calculated by dividing revenue, less royalties and operating expenses by the Company’s sales volume during the period. Netback including commodity contracts is calculated by adjusting netback from operations by the realized gains or losses received from commodity contracts during the period. Netback is a non-GAAP ratio but it is commonly used by oil and gas companies to illustrate the unit contribution of each barrel produced. The Company believes that the netback is a useful supplemental measure of the cash flow generated on each barrel of oil equivalent that is produced in its operations. However, non-GAAP measures and non-GAAP ratios do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures or ratios used by other companies and should not be used to make comparisons.
The following is the reconciliation of the non-GAAP ratio netback from operations to net income, which the Company considers to be the most directly comparable financial measure that is disclosed in the Company’s financial statements:
