Vivakor Supply & Trading, LLC ("VST"), has reached approximately $2.35 billion in annualized commercial activity, representing approximately 26.9 million barrels of annualized crude oil sales volume. Driven by the rapid expansion of the platform and a growing pipeline of commercial opportunities, Vivakor has raised its 2026 outlook to $3.5 billion in annualized commercial activity.

VST currently has approximately 2.24 million barrels of monthly sales volume, consisting of approximately 2.0 million barrels of bulk crude oil sales and 240,000 barrels of truck-based sales. This scale reflects VST’s continued expansion of recurring physical crude oil activity and commercial relationships across its trading platform.

"Surpassing $2 billion in annualized commercial activity is a significant milestone for Vivakor and demonstrates how rapidly we have been able to scale our Supply & Trading business," said James Ballengee, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vivakor. "We have built VST around recurring physical crude oil volumes and expanding commercial relationships, and reaching $2.35 billion in annualized commercial activity validates the strategy we have been executing and the scale we have been able to achieve."

Ballengee continued, "More importantly, we do not view $2.35 billion as an endpoint. The pace at which we have expanded the business, together with the opportunities currently under development, gives us confidence to raise our 2026 outlook to $3.5 billion in annualized commercial activity. We believe there is substantial runway ahead as we continue to add volume, expand our commercial relationships and build scale across our commodities platform."

Consistent with standard physical commodity marketing transactions, VST only recognizes a small percentage of the total contract value as gross profit, reflecting its role as an intermediary in the physical crude oil supply chain. Accordingly, the gross profit recognized by VST will represent only a portion of the estimated commercial activity described above and will vary based on market conditions, commodity pricing, transaction structure and delivered volumes.
