    HOUSTON, Nov. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prairie Operating Co. (NASDAQ:PROP) (the "Company," "Prairie," "we," "our," or "us") – an independent energy company engaged in the development and acquisition of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids ("NGL") resources in the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin – today announced its financial and operational results through and subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

    RECENT KEY HIGHLIGHTS

    • Record total production of 23,029 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("Boe/d") (approximately 52% oil), an increase of approximately 10% quarter-over-quarter.
    • Current production rate as of today of approximately 27,000 net Boe/d per day, reflecting the successful execution of our development program.
    • Expanded hedging program, securing favorable commodity pricing through 2028.
    • Completed transition services period following acquisition of assets from Bayswater Exploration & Production.
    • Closed two complementary bolt-on acquisitions, which added approximately 11 net drilling locations and 3,400 net acres.

    From Edward Kovalik, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

    "The third quarter represented another major step forward for Prairie as we continue to execute across all areas of our business," said Edward Kovalik, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "With the Bayswater transition now complete, Prairie has assumed full operational control and is focused on expanding its DJ Basin footprint."

    "Looking ahead, our strategy remains clear and disciplined. We're focused on building long-term shareholder value through a combination of high-return organic development, continued operational optimization, and selective, accretive acquisitions. I want to personally thank the entire Prairie team for their dedication, hard work, and professionalism. The progress we've made this year has set the stage for continued momentum into 2026 and beyond."

    THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS SUMMARY

    • Revenue of $77.7 million, driven by realized prices (excluding hedges) of $58.70 per barrel for oil, $12.27 per barrel for NGLs, and $2.15 per thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") for natural gas.
    • Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $22.5 million, or $0.44 basic loss per share.
    • Adjusted EBITDA (1) of $56.3 million, an increase of over 45% quarter-over-quarter.
    • Capital expenditure incurred of $69.6 million.
    • Net cash provided by operating activities of $57.7 million. 

    (1) Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP measure, refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures used throughout this press release.

    Operations Update

    Operationally, the third quarter marked another significant step forward for Prairie as the Company completed the transition period following the Bayswater acquisition and assumed full operational control of those assets.

    As of today, Prairie's current production rate stands at approximately 27,000 net Boe/d, reflecting the combined impact of its legacy operations, the Bayswater assets, and new wells brought online during the quarter.

    On the development front, flowback operations are now completed on seven new wells on our Noble pad, and completion activities are being finalized on six newly drilled wells at the Simpson pad. The Noble pad is now fully on-line with the Simpson pad expected to be fully online in the fourth quarter.

    At the Rusch pad, drilling, completions, and drill-out operations for 11 wells have been finalized and turned to sales. These wells target multiple horizons across the Niobrara A, B, and C zones, as well as the Codell formation, and are expected to meaningfully contribute to production growth through the remainder of 2025.

    In addition, Prairie successfully completed and turned to sales nine wells on the Opal Coalbank pad that were acquired as drilled and uncompleted ("DUC") locations in the Bayswater transaction. Initial results have exceeded expectations, with an average IP30 of approximately 525 Boe/d per well (two-stream, gross).

    Beyond new drilling, Prairie remains focused on optimizing its existing asset base. The Company has launched a robust workover program targeting 32 wells across the third and fourth quarters, with 31 workovers completed to date, including 18 during the third quarter. Additionally, Prairie has installed plungers across 183 wells, resulting in an average oil production increase of 12.6% per well. These optimization initiatives – along with ongoing improvements to gas-lift systems and pad efficiencies – underscore Prairie's commitment to maximizing per-well productivity and overall capital efficiency.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    This press release contains Adjusted EBITDA which is a financial measure not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate the performance of our business, make operational decisions, and assess our ability to generate cashflows. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with helpful information to better understand the underlying performance trends of our business, facilitate period-to-period comparisons, and assess the company's operating results.

    Adjusted EBITDA is derived from net income (loss) from continuing operations and is adjusted for income tax expense, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, accretion of asset retirement obligations, non-cash stock-based compensation, interest expense (income), net, non-cash loss on adjustment to fair value – embedded derivatives, debt, and warrants, loss on debt issuance, unrealized gain on derivatives, and litigation settlement expense all as applicable. We adjust net income (loss) from continuing operations for the items listed above to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially between periods and companies within our industry depending upon accounting methods, book values of assets, capital structures, and the method by which assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, including that it excludes certain items that affect our reported financial results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income calculated in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Additionally, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

    The following table presents the reconciliation of Net income (loss) from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated:
