HOUSTON, March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PEDEVCO Corp. (NYSE American: PED) (“PEDEVCO” or the “Company”), a publicly traded energy company engaged in the acquisition and development of strategic oil and gas assets in the Rocky Mountain region, today reported audited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.
The Company’s full year 2025 results reflect the closing of its transformative merger with certain portfolio companies controlled by Juniper Capital Advisors, L.P. (the “Juniper Merger”) on October 31, 2025, with the consolidated financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025 including only two months of contribution from the acquired assets. The fourth quarter of 2025 similarly reflects a partial-quarter contribution, with October representing legacy PEDEVCO operations only.

Note: Fourth quarter 2025 figures are derived from audited full year 2025 results and unaudited nine-month results as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025. All per-share and share-count references reflect the 1-for-20 reverse stock split effective March 13, 2026, applied retroactively for all periods presented.
Fourth Quarter Financial and Operational Highlights Include:
- Fourth quarter 2025 production of 483,159 Boe (Average 5,310 Boe/d), a 143% increase over fourth quarter 2024 production. The acquired assets contributed approximately 303,000 Boe during November and December 2025.
- Fourth quarter 2025 oil and gas revenue of approximately $23.1 million, more than doubling the $10.6 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting the initial contribution from the acquired Juniper assets.
- Fourth quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of approximately $15.4 million, compared to $5.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, representing a nearly threefold increase.
Full Year Financial and Operational Highlights Include:
- Full year 2025 production of 910,068 Boe (2,494 Average Boe/d), a 35% increase over 2024 production of 671,796 Boe (1,835 Average Boe/d), supported by the contribution of the acquired assets during the last two months of the year.
- Full year 2025 oil and gas revenue of $45.8 million, a 16% increase over full year 2024 revenue of $39.6 million, driven by a 35% increase in sale volumes partially offset by a 19% decline in average realized crude oil prices.
- Full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $27.0 million, an 18% increase over full year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of $22.9 million, reflecting the contribution of two months of production from the acquired assets and continued execution of the Company’s development program.
- Full year 2025 net loss of $(10.4) million, or $(2.25) per diluted share, compared to net income of $12.3 million (restated), or $2.76 per diluted share, in 2024. The year-over-year decline was driven primarily by approximately $7.5 million of non-recurring merger-related costs, $2.8 million in additional and accelerated share-based compensation in connection with board transitions related to the Juniper Merger, $1.4 million of new interest expense on the Company’s credit facility, a $1.4 million note receivable write-off and an income tax expense of $8.1 million, resulting in a net deferred tax liability of $0.8 million on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
- Year-end 2025 total proved reserves of 32.1 MMBoe with PV-10(2) of $357.7 million, compared to 18.1 MMBoe and $178.9 million, respectively, at year-end 2024, reflecting the full post-merger asset base.
- Year-end 2025 revolving credit facility balance of $87.0 million under the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ($120 million borrowing base; $250 million maximum facility).
(2) PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” for additional disclosure.
2026 Guidance Highlights:
- Full-year 2026 guidance for net capital expenditures of $16 million to $20 million, including approximately $6 million to $7 million for drilling and completion costs in the D-J Basin (of which approximately $3 million is carry over from the Company’s 2025 program), and approximately $10 million to $13 million in estimated capital expenditures for optimization projects on our newly acquired assets from the Juniper Merger. Asset reviews of the newly combined entity are currently underway and an expansion of the 2026 capital budget will be announced in the coming months.
- Full-year 2026 guidance for adjusted EBITDA of $60 million to $70 million, based on average oil price of $65/bbl and average gas price of $3.50/Mscf
Management Commentary
J. Douglas Schick, President and Chief Executive Officer of PEDEVCO, commented:
“2025 was a transformational year for PEDEVCO. The closing of the Juniper Merger on October 31st fundamentally changed the scale of our business, expanding our Rockies footprint to over 310,000 net acres, adding substantial oil-weighted production, and nearly doubling our proved reserve base to 32.1 million barrels of oil equivalent with a PV-10 value of $357.7 million. Operationally, we significantly expanded our asset base across the Wyoming D-J Basin and Powder River Basin, where we now hold interests in 184 gross wells in the D-J Basin, and 156 gross wells in the Powder River Basin. We also participated in the drilling and completion of 36 gross development wells during 2025, including 29 non-operated wells and three operated wells in the D-J Basin, 31 of which began contributing production in late 2025. In early 2025 we drilled and completed four horizontal San Andres wells in the Permian. We have one Company-operated DUC in the D-J Basin that will be completed as part of our upcoming 2026 development program.”
“Our fourth quarter results, with revenue exceeding $23 million and Adjusted EBITDA reaching approximately $15.4 million, provide an initial view of the combined platform's earnings capacity, and importantly, these results reflect only two months of consolidated production from the acquired assets. Our full-year GAAP net loss of $(10.4) million was driven primarily by approximately $7.5 million of non-recurring merger-related costs and approximately $8.1 million of deferred income tax expense arising from the Juniper Merger, along with $1.4 million of new interest expense; on a normalized cash earnings basis, Adjusted EBITDA grew 18% to $27.0 million despite a 19% decline in average realized crude oil prices.”
“Looking ahead to 2026, our priorities are clear: continue disciplined development, reduce operating costs through targeted optimization of the acquired asset base, and demonstrate the full earnings power of the combined platform while searching for accretive Rockies acquisitions to further scale the platform. We believe 2025 has positioned PEDEVCO for a step-change in future financial performance and consolidation.”
Fourth Quarter Financial Summary
Revenue. Total crude oil, natural gas and NGL revenues for the three-month period ended December 31, 2025, increased 118%, to $23.1 million, compared to $10.6 million for the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by higher production volumes following the closing of the Juniper Merger.
Lease Operating Expenses. LOE increased $7.0 million, or 184%, to $10.8 million, primarily as a result of the acquired assets, which contributed operating costs for the two-month period following the closing of the Juniper Merger.
General and Administrative Expenses. Total G&A expense (including share-based compensation) increased $9.8 million to $12.0 million, primarily reflecting approximately $7.5 million of non-recurring merger-related expenses (including transaction advisory, legal, accounting and integration costs), along with the addition of 12 employees and related compensation costs in connection with the Juniper Merger.
Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion. DD&A increased $1.7 million, or 32%, to $6.8 million, driven by higher production volumes associated with the Company’s expanded asset base.
Gain on Derivative Contracts. The Company recognized a total gain of $6.3 million on derivative contracts that were novated to the Company in connection with the Juniper Merger and new hedges entered into by the Company, consisting of $2.1 million in realized gains from cash settlements and $4.1 million in unrealized mark-to-market gains.
Interest Expense. The Company incurred $1.4 million of interest expense in 2025, consisting of $1.1 million in interest on borrowings under the credit facility and $0.3 million in amortization of deferred financing costs. No interest expense was incurred in 2024 as the Company carried no debt prior to the Juniper Merger.
Net (Loss) Income. The Company reported net loss of $8.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to net income of $5.9 million for the prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to an income tax expense of $8.6 million, resulting in a net deferred tax liability of $0.8 million on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA was $15.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $5.1 million in the prior year period, reflecting a significant increase driven by higher production volumes from the Juniper Merger, partially offset by higher operating costs and merger-related expenses.
Full Year 2025 Financial Summary
Revenue. Total crude oil, natural gas and NGL revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, increased 16% to $45.8 million, compared to $39.6 million for the prior year. The increase was driven by a favorable volume variance of approximately $12.2 million, offset by an unfavorable price variance of approximately $6.0 million.
Lease Operating Expenses. LOE increased $6.7 million, or 54%, to $19.1 million, primarily as a result of the acquired assets, which contributed approximately $7.6 million of operating costs during the two-month period from November 1 through December 31, 2025.
General and Administrative Expenses. Total G&A expense (including share-based compensation) increased $10.4 million to $16.8 million. Cash G&A increased $9.5 million, primarily reflecting merger-related costs and higher personnel expenses associated with the expanded organization following the Juniper Merger.
Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion. DD&A increased $2.1 million, or 13%, to $18.0 million, driven by higher production volumes associated with the Company’s expanded asset base.
Gain on Derivative Contracts. The Company recognized a total gain of $6.3 million on derivative contracts that were novated to the Company in connection with the Juniper Merger and new hedges entered into by the Company, consisting of $2.1 million in realized gains from cash settlements and $4.1 million in unrealized mark-to-market gains.
Interest Expense. The Company incurred $1.4 million of interest expense in 2025, consisting of $1.1 million in interest on borrowings under the credit facility and $0.3 million in amortization of deferred financing costs. No interest expense was incurred in 2024 as the Company carried no debt prior to the Juniper Merger.
Net (Loss) Income. The Company reported a net loss of $10.4 million, or $(2.25) per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net income of $12.3 million (restated), or $2.76 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2024. The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to: (i) approximately $7.5 million of merger-related costs, (ii) $1.4 million of interest expense on the new credit facility, (iii) a $1.4 million note receivable credit loss write-off, (iv) $2.8 million in additional and accelerated share-based compensation, and (v) a $0.9 million impairment of oil and gas properties due to the expiration of certain leaseholds, partially offset by a $6.3 million gain on derivative contracts, a $2.6 million net gain on the sale of oil and gas properties and an income tax expense of $8.1 million, resulting in a net deferred tax liability of $0.8 million on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA was $27.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $22.9 million (restated) in 2024, an increase of 18%. The increase was driven by higher production volumes from the Juniper Merger, partially offset by lower realized commodity prices.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “likely,” “will,” “would” and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. Forward-looking statements in this release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s 2026 capital expenditure estimates, expected benefits of the Juniper Merger including cost savings and operational synergies, expected production levels, development plans, estimated reserves, and the Company’s ability to fund its operations and service its obligations. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, among others: volatility in oil and natural gas prices; the Company’s ability to successfully integrate the acquired operations; the Company’s ability to service its credit facility obligations; results of development and production activities; changes in operating costs; regulatory developments including those affecting federal and state leases; the Company’s ability to maintain its listing on NYSE American; availability and costs of services and materials; and the risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and other filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this release.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release includes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and PV-10, which are presented as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and asset value. These are not recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance.
EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA less share-based compensation, impairment of oil and gas properties, gain on sale of oil and gas properties, gain on sale of fixed asset, merger acquisition costs, and note receivable – credit loss. The Company believes these measures provide additional useful information to investors and are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the oil and gas industry. However, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, the Company’s calculation of these measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is provided at the end of this release.
PV-10 represents the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved reserves, before income taxes, discounted at 10% per annum. PV-10 is not a measure prescribed by GAAP. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows (“Standardized Measure”), which includes the effects of income taxes. The Company uses PV-10 as a measure of the relative value of its properties because it is a widely used industry metric that is not dependent on the tax position of individual companies. A reconciliation of PV-10 to the Standardized Measure is available in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
