J. Douglas Schick, President and Chief Executive Officer of PEDEVCO, stated, "2025 was a transformational year for PEDEVCO as we executed our development program and closed the Juniper merger in the fourth quarter, significantly expanding our Rockies footprint, production base and earnings power. Our fourth quarter results began to reflect the new scale of the business, with revenue more than doubling to approximately $23 million and Adjusted EBITDA nearly tripling to approximately $15 million. Importantly, these results reflect only a partial quarter of contribution from the acquired assets following the October 31 closing, demonstrating the significant earnings capacity of the combined platform going forward.

"Alongside the merger, our 2025 development program materially expanded our production base, adding approximately 1,800 barrels per day of incremental production — a 123% increase compared to our standalone production prior to the Juniper transaction. With many of these wells coming online late in the fourth quarter and into early 2026, PEDEVCO is entering the year with meaningfully higher production levels and a deep inventory of development opportunities.

"As we look ahead, we believe the work completed in 2025 has positioned PEDEVCO for a step-change in financial performance. With higher production levels and the realization of meaningful post-merger operational synergies, we expect the Company's earnings power to increase substantially in 2026."
