SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
- Average production for the second quarter of 2025 was 3,220 BOEPD, an increase of 3% compared to the second quarter of 2024 average production of 3,128 BOEPD. The increase was due to production from the wells that were drilled and completed in the last half of 2024, partially offset by decreased production from wells that were shut-in during the completion operations for the four Lovina wells, which temporarily reduced quarter production by 540 boepd
- The Company has repurchased over 207,000 common shares under its Normal Course Issuer Bid from April to July 2025 for an average price of US$6.42/share, bringing its total repurchases to over 504,000 shares since September 2024
- Production and operating expense per barrel averaged $7.15 per BOE in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $8.48 per BOE in the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of 16%. The decrease was due to lower water hauling costs and natural gas and NGL processing costs adjustments in 2024 related to prior years as the purchaser reassessed prior year gathering and processing costs
- General & Administrative (G&A) expense decreased by 9% primarily due to lower accounting fees compared to the prior year quarter, due to the listing on the NASDAQ stock market at the end of 2023
- Net income in the second quarter of 2025 was $2.9 million and EPS was $0.08/share compared to $4.1 million and EPS of $0.11/share in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was due to lower revenues
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of 23% due to a 24% decrease in average prices
- Revenue, net of royalties was $10.8 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $13.9 million for second quarter of 2024, a decrease of 22% due to lower prices and lower oil production due to the shut-in wells
- Average netback from operations(2) for the second quarter of 2025 was $29.66/boe, a decrease of 27% from the prior year second quarter due to lower average prices partially offset by lower operating costs per BOE
- At June 30, 2025, the Company had $34.5 million of available borrowing capacity on its credit agreement

Kolibri’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Wolf Regener commented:
“We are pleased that the Company’s wells continued to perform well with average production of 3,220 boepd despite a 540 boepd reduction due to several wells that were temporarily shut-in during the quarter for the Lovina wells completion. The Company generated Adjusted EBITDA of $7.7 million during the quarter, despite average prices decreasing by 24% and several wells being temporarily shut-in. All of the shut-in wells are now back online, some of which, as expected, are being dewatered.
“As we announced last week, the Lovina wells started production in late July under a controlled flowback with the average 4-day production from the four wells ranging from 322 boepd to 643 boepd, while still cleaning up from the fracture stimulations. The wells are producing a higher percentage of oil than many of our previous wells, and we are running production tubing strings this week, which could lead to higher production based on our past experience. The Forguson 17-20-3H well has just started flowback operations. Cleanup of the fracture stimulation fluid is anticipated to take longer to get stabilized flow rates than the wells in the heart of our field, since it is shallower. The Company will start drilling the 1.5 mile lateral Barnes 6-31-2H and Barnes 6-31-3H wells this week, which will then be completed along with the two previously drilled Velin wells. We are excited for the second half of the year as the Company will be bringing nine wells into production, which we anticipate will significantly increase production and cash flow during the last two quarters of 2025.”
Second Quarter 2025 versus Second Quarter 2024
Oil and gas gross revenues totaled $13.8 million in the quarter versus $17.7 million in the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of 22%. Oil revenues decreased $4.7 million or 28% as average oil prices decreased by $17.23 per barrel or 22% and oil production was down by 8% due to the shut-in wells during the quarter. Natural gas revenues increased $0.7 million or 450% to $0.8 million as average natural gas prices increased by $2.25/mcf or 268% to $3.09/mcf and natural gas production increased by 50% to 2,880 mcfpd. Natural gas liquids (NGLs) revenues increased $0.2 million or 21% as NGL production increased 25% to 625 boepd partially offset by a 4% decrease in average NGL prices to $17.59/boe.
Average production for the second quarter of 2025 was 3,220 BOEPD, an increase of 3% compared to the second quarter of 2024 average production of 3,128 BOEPD due to production from the wells that were drilled in the last six months of 2024 partially offset by decreased production from wells that were shut-in during the completion operations for the four Lovina wells.
Production and operating expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $1.7 million compared to $2.1 million in the prior year comparable period. The decrease was primarily due to higher water hauling costs in the prior year quarter and natural gas and NGL processing costs recorded in the second quarter of 2024 related to prior years as the purchaser reassessed prior year gathering and processing costs.
General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2025 was $1.4 million compared to $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of 9%. The decrease was due to higher accounting fees in the prior year quarter due to the listing on the NASDAQ stock market at the end of 2023.
Finance expense decreased $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year second quarter due to lower interest expense as a result of lower interest rates and an decrease in the outstanding bank loan balance in 2025.
