OKLAHOMA CITY, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Riley Exploration Permian, Inc. (NYSE:REPX) ("Riley Permian" or the "Company"), today reported financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

FIRST QUARTER 2025 AND RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

Averaged 24.4 MBoe/d of total equivalent production (oil production of 15.6 MBbls/d)
Generated $50 million of operating cash flow or $56 million before changes in working capital⁽¹⁾, $36 million of Total Free Cash Flow⁽¹⁾and $39 million of Upstream Free Cash Flow⁽¹⁾
Incurred total accrual (activity-based) capital expenditures before acquisitions of $24 million ($19 million for upstream) and cash capital expenditures before acquisitions of $19 million ($16 million for upstream)
Reduced debt outstanding by $21 million with a debt-to-Adjusted EBITDAX⁽¹⁾ ratio of 0.9x⁽²⁾
Reaffirmed the borrowing base on the Company's senior secured revolving credit facility at $400 million in May 2025
Announcing agreement to acquire Silverback Exploration for $142 million in cash, adding 5 MBoe/d of total equivalent production and 300+ gross undeveloped locations
Management has elected to modify previously announced investment and development activity in light of recent market conditions and the pending acquisition

Bobby D. Riley, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board commented, "Riley Permian delivered another capital-efficient quarter of strong performance. Our modest capital investing during the first quarter allowed us to generate substantial Total Free Cash Flow and further reduce debt, positioning us for the year ahead."

"We're excited to announce another strategic acquisition of a largely undeveloped asset base in New Mexico. Despite current market volatility, we believe this acquisition is justified at present given our long-term outlook for our industry and our company. The acquisition adds significant, long-term upstream development potential and supports our prior decision to invest in gas midstream infrastructure in the region."

"In conjunction with changes in the macro environment, we are reducing 2025 investing midpoint guidance on a standalone basis (excluding the pending acquisition) by 50% while reducing midpoint total production guidance by 3%. Inclusive of the acquisition, we forecast 5% of incremental total investing on a full-year 2025 basis, as compared to our standalone guidance. This year we are prioritizing the acquisition and preservation of high-quality inventory over the conversion of inventory to production. We believe Riley Permian is well-positioned to succeed in the current market environment, with our strong asset base, disciplined capital allocation philosophy and robust hedging profile."

Average oil production during the first quarter was 15.6 MBbls/d and average total equivalent production was 24.4 MBoe/d (64% oil and 83% liquids). Daily oil volumes and total equivalent volumes decreased by 2% quarter-over-quarter, despite zero new wells turned to sales during the quarter. The Company completed 6.3 net wells during the first quarter, 3.8 of which are scheduled to be turned to sales during the second quarter, with the remaining 2.5 expected to be turned to sales during the third and fourth quarters. The batch completions allow for greater cost savings and efficiencies, while the staggered sales approach helps the Company maintain a more stable production profile.

Riley Permian is advancing the build-out of its midstream infrastructure in New Mexico, including the construction, ownership, and operation of both low- and high-pressure gathering lines and compression facilities. These assets are designed to ultimately connect to our planned 20-inch natural gas pipeline, which will have capacity to handle up to 150 MMcf/d.

During the first quarter we completed the installation of initial gathering lines and the construction of our first compression station. We continue to make progress on subsequent phases of the project and our planned 2026 in-service date.

RPC Power's phase 2 project is designed to sell power into ERCOT. During the first quarter RPC Power continued to progress on this project with thermal generators secured for 50MW of nameplate capacity, physical sites secured, and numerous utility and gas interconnection agreements executed. We continue to progress toward our planned in-service date of late 2025 or early 2026.

During the first quarter, Riley Permian made an additional capital contribution of $6 million to RPC Power. The Company has invested a total of $30 million to date and has 50% ownership.

SILVERBACK ACQUISITION

On May 3, 2025, Riley Exploration - Permian, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Riley Permian, entered into a securities purchase agreement ("Purchase Agreement") with Silverback Legacy, LLC and Silverback Blocker, LLC (collectively, "Sellers"), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire 100% of the ownership interests of Silverback Exploration II, LLC and its subsidiaries (the "Silverback Acquisition") for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $142 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments, plus quarterly earnout payments of up to $1.875 million per fiscal quarter during calendar years 2026 and 2027 if the NYMEX WTI quarterly average exceeds certain stated amounts set forth in the Purchase Agreement, ranging from $70 to $75 per barrel or higher.

The Silverback Acquisition assets comprise an approximate 47,000 net acre position, directly adjacent to and overlapping with the Company's existing acreage in Eddy County, providing for significant operational flexibility and synergies. Of the total acreage position, Riley Permian estimates that approximately 19,000 net acres are prospective for the Yeso Trend, with an estimated 300+ gross undeveloped locations. Recent production was 5.0 MBoe/d, of which 52% was oil and 75% was liquids.

The transaction is expected to close early in the third quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. Greenhill, a Mizuho affiliate, acted as financial advisor to Riley Permian, and Holland & Knight LLP acted as Riley Permian's legal counsel on the transaction.

2025 MODIFIED GUIDANCE

Riley Permian is providing second quarter detailed guidance and revised full-year 2025 activity guidance based on currently scheduled development activity, current market conditions and the anticipated closing of the pending Silverback Acquisition at the beginning of the third quarter 2025.

The average working interest on gross operated wells drilled is subject to change and may have corresponding impacts on net production volumes and investing expenditures. Total equivalent production estimates, inclusive of production from natural gas and NGLs, may be subject to variability based on midstream conditions. In the event our midstream project or closing of the Silverback Acquisition is delayed, it may have corresponding impacts on net production volumes and investing expenditures.
