MANAGEMENT COMMENTS Fernando Araujo, Berry’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our fourth quarter and year-end results highlight our continued success advancing our long-term strategy of generating sustainable free cash flow with high rate of return projects, while improving capital efficiency and our cost structure. Our thermal diatomite asset continues to deliver value enhancing results and provides a catalyst for future opportunities. In 2024, we successfully drilled 28 sidetracks with exceptional results and a rate of return exceeding 100%. These results have unlocked the potential to drill an additional 115 more sidetracks in this asset over the next few years, including up to 34 planned for 2025. Additionally, we expanded development of our 100,000 net acre position in the Uinta Basin. We executed two farm-ins/acreage exchanges providing critical technical data from 6 horizontal wells with peak rates up to 2,000 Boe/d. We closed the year with a refinancing to strengthen our balance sheet and entered 2025 with a disciplined plan designed to ensure capital for development and create value for shareholders.” Araujo continued, “It’s an exciting time to be at Berry. In addition to operating and developing our existing assets efficiently, we are actively pursuing scale and diversification and evaluating accretive deals both large and small. We have the roadmap and the options to enhance our cash flows and sustain production, while simultaneously expanding our inventory and strengthening our balance sheet. Our team has an established track record of delivering on key objectives through cycles and regulatory challenges, and we have a compelling pipeline of value enhancing opportunities.” FOURTH QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL AND OPERATING SUMMARY Selected Comparative Results Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 ($ in millions, except per share amounts)Production (mboe/d) 26.1 24.8 25.9 Oil, natural gas & NGL revenues(1)$158 $154 $172 Net (loss) income$(2) $70 $63 Adjusted Net Income(2)$17 $11 $10 Adjusted EBITDA(2)$82 $67 $70 Earnings per diluted share$(0.02) $0.91 $0.81 Adjusted earnings per diluted share(2)$0.21 $0.14 $0.13 Cash Flow from Operations$41 $71 $79 Capital expenditures$17 $26 $17 Free Cash Flow(2)$24 $45 $62 (1) Revenues do not include hedge settlements.(2) Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations” later in this press release for reconciliation and more information on these Non-GAAP measures.

SHAREHOLDER RETURNS In October 2024, in connection with the 2024 Term Loan, Berry transitioned to a capital allocation approach that prioritizes debt reduction and aligns with the covenants contained in the 2024 Term Loan while facilitating the Company’s operating strategy and enabling investment in development opportunities. In March 2025, Berry’s Board of Directors approved a fixed cash dividend of $0.03 per share, payable to shareholders of record as of March 22, 2025 and is expected to be paid on April 1, 2025. For 2025, the Company expects to continue with its fixed dividend while prioritizing debt reduction. 2025 GUIDANCE Full Year 2025 GuidanceLowHighAverage Daily Production (boe/d) 24,800 26,000 % Oil Production 91% 95%Non-energy LOE ($/boe)(1)$13.00 $15.00 Energy LOE (unhedged) ($/boe)(2)$12.70 $14.50 Natural Gas Purchase Hedge Settlements ($/boe)(3)(4)$1.00 $1.60 Taxes, Other Than Income Taxes ($/boe)$5.50 $6.50 Adjusted G&A expenses - E&P Segment & Corp ($/boe)(5)(6)$6.35 $6.75 Capital Expenditures ($ millions)(7)(8)$110 $120 (1) Non-energy LOE consists of lease operating costs not included in Energy LOE.(2) Energy LOE (unhedged) consists of costs to generate steam and electricity the Company produces and uses in its operations and the power the Company purchases for its E&P operations.(3) Natural gas purchase hedge settlements is the cash (received) or paid from these derivatives on a per boe basis.(4) Based on natural gas hedge positions and basis differentials as of December 31, 2024, and the Henry Hub gas price of $3.00 per mmbtu.(5) Adjusted G&A expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of this measure because the Company believes such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors and is unable to reasonably predict certain items included in or excluded from the GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that have not yet occurred and are out of the Company’s control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Non-GAAP forward-looking measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.(6) See further discussion and reconciliation in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations”.(7) Total company capital expenditures, including E&P segment, well servicing & abandonment segment and corporate.(8) Approximately 60% of Berry’s 2025 capital is expected to be directed to California, with 40% allocated to Utah. RISK MANAGEMENT Berry utilizes hedges to manage commodity price risk, protect the balance sheet and ensure cash flow to fund its annual capital program. Based on the midpoint of the Company’s guidance and its hedge book as of January 31, 2025, Berry has 75% of its estimated oil production volumes hedged for 2025 at average strike price of $74.24 per barrel of Brent factoring in swaps and the floor price of collars. The Company has gas purchase hedges for approximately 70% of its expected 2025 gas demand, with an average swap price of $4.25 per MMBtu. As part of the debt refinancing, Berry is required to hedge a minimum of 75% of PDP volumes for the first 24 months and 50% of volumes for months 25-36 on a rolling basis. Complete details on the Company’s derivative positions can be found in its investor presentation located at https://ir.bry.com/reports-resources. PROVED RESERVES Berry’s year-end 2024 proved reserves totaled 107 MMBoe, of which 58% were proved developed and 96% were oil. The Company’s YE24 reserve report contains 548 PUD locations. Only 5% of Berry’s California PUD reserves are in areas where new drill permits are constrained and the Company is not currently pursuing alternative CEQA compliance. Berry’s proved reserves and PV-10 estimates as of December 31, 2024 were prepared by DeGolyer and MacNaughton in accordance with applicable rules and guidelines of the SEC. At year-end, The Company’s standardized measure of discounted future cash flows of proved reserves was $1.8 billion and PV-10(1)(2), utilizing SEC pricing, was $2.3 billion.

SoCal Gas city-gate Index is the relevant index used only for the portion of gas purchases in California. In May 2022, we began purchasing a majority of our fuel gas in the Rockies using the Northwest, Rocky Mountains index.(2) Most of our gas purchases and gas sales in the Rockies are predicated on the Northwest, Rocky Mountains index, and to a lesser extent based on Henry Hub. Natural gas prices and differentials are strongly affected by local market fundamentals, availability of transportation capacity from producing areas and seasonal impacts. Our key exposure to gas prices is in our costs. We purchase substantially more natural gas for our California steamfloods and cogeneration facilities than we produce and sell in the Rockies. In May 2022, we began purchasing most of our gas in the Rockies and transporting it to our California operations using our Kern River pipeline capacity. We buy approximately 48,000 mmbtu/d in the Rockies, and the remainder comes from California markets. The volume purchased in California fluctuates and averaged 3,000 mbbtu/d in 2024, and 5,000 mmbtu/d in 2023.The natural gas we purchase in the Rockies is shipped to our operations in California to help limit our exposure to California fuel gas purchase price fluctuations. We strive to further minimize the variability of our fuel gas costs for our steam operations by hedging a significant portion of our gas purchases. Additionally, the negative impact of higher gas prices on our California operating expenses is partially offset by higher gas sales for the gas we produce and sell in the Rockies. The Kern River pipeline capacity allows us to purchase and sell natural gas at the same pricing indices.

We also consume a portion of the natural gas we produce on lease to extract oil and gas.(2) Natural gas volumes have been converted to boe based on energy content of six mcf of gas to one bbl of oil. Barrels of oil equivalence does not necessarily result in price equivalence. The price of natural gas on a barrel of oil equivalent basis is currently substantially lower than the corresponding price for oil and has been similarly lower for a number of years. For example, in the year ended December 31, 2024, the average prices of Brent oil and Henry Hub natural gas were $79.86 per bbl and $2.19 per mmbtu respectively. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Quarter EndedDecember 31,2024 Quarter EndedSeptember 30,2024 Quarter EndedDecember 31,2023 Year EndedDecember 31,2024 Year EndedDecember 31,2023 ($ in thousands)Capital expenditures(1)(2)$17,217 $25,874 $17,003 $102,352 $73,127 (1) Capital expenditures include capitalized overhead and interest and exclude acquisitions and asset retirement spending.(2) Capital expenditures in the quarters ended December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 included $1 million, less than $1 million and $1 million, respectively, for the well servicing and abandonment business. Capital expenditures in the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 included approximately $3 million and $6 million, respectively, for the well servicing and abandonment business. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATIONS Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of either net income (loss) or cash flow, Free Cash Flow is not a measure of cash flow, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is not a measure of net income (loss), and Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses is not a measure of general and administrative expenses, in all cases, as determined by GAAP. Rather, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense; income taxes; depreciation, depletion, and amortization; derivative gains or losses net of cash received or paid for scheduled derivative settlements; impairments; stock compensation expense; and unusual and infrequent items. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information in assessing our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and is widely used by the industry and the investment community. The measure also allows our management to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results between periods without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We also use Adjusted EBITDA in planning our capital expenditure allocation to sustain production levels and to determine our strategic hedging needs aside from the hedging requirements of the 2024 Term Loan. We define Free Cash Flow as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. We use Free Cash Flow as the primary metric to measure our ability to pay dividends, pay down debt, repurchase stock, and make strategic growth and bolt-on acquisitions. Management believes Free Cash Flow may be useful in an investor analysis of our ability to generate cash from operating activities from our existing oil and gas asset base after capital expenditures and to fund such activities. Free Cash Flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance, and it should not be inferred that the entire amount of Free Cash Flow is available for dividends, debt repayment, share repurchases, strategic acquisitions or other growth opportunities, or other discretionary expenditures, since we have mandatory debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from this measure. We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for derivative gains or losses net of cash received or paid for scheduled derivative settlements, unusual and infrequent items, and the income tax expense or benefit of these adjustments using our statutory tax rate. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excludes the impact of unusual and infrequent items affecting earnings that vary widely and unpredictably, including non-cash items such as derivative gains and losses. This measure is used by management when comparing results period over period. We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is useful to investors because it reflects how management evaluates the Company’s ongoing financial and operating performance from period-to-period after removing certain transactions and activities that affect comparability of the metrics and are not reflective of the Company’s core operations. We believe this also makes it easier for investors to compare our period-to-period results with our peers. We define Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses as general and administrative expenses adjusted for non-cash stock compensation expense and unusual and infrequent costs. Management believes Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses is useful because it allows us to more effectively compare our performance from period to period. We believe Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses is useful to investors because it reflects how management evaluates the Company’s ongoing general and administrative expenses from period-to-period after removing non-cash stock compensation, as well as unusual or infrequent costs that affect comparability of the metrics and are not reflective of the Company’s administrative costs. We believe this also makes it easier for investors to compare our period-to-period results with our peers. While Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses are non-GAAP measures, the amounts included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses were computed in accordance with GAAP. These measures are provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, income and liquidity measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than income and liquidity measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance, such as our cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic cost of depreciable and depletable assets. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Leverage Ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is used by management and external users of our financial statements to evaluate the financial condition of the Company. It is calculated as net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA (defined above) for the most recently completed 12-month period. Net debt is calculated as long-term debt (from our 2024 Term Loan and 2024 Revolver), including the current portion and excluding unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. Management believes that Leverage Ratio provides useful information to investors because it is widely used by analysts, investors and ratings agencies in evaluating the financial condition of companies. PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is widely used by the industry to understand the present value of oil and gas companies. It represents the present value of estimated future cash inflows from proved oil and gas reserves, less future development and production costs, discounted at 10% per annum to reflect the timing of future cash flows and does not give effect to derivative transactions or estimated future income taxes. Management believes that PV-10 provides useful information to investors because it is widely used by analysts and investors in evaluating oil and natural gas companies. Because there are many unique factors that can impact an individual company when estimating the amount of future income taxes to be paid, management believes the use of a pre-tax measure is valuable for evaluating the Company. PV-10 should not be considered as an alternative to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows as computed under GAAP.

E&P OPERATING COSTS Overall, management assesses the efficiency of our E&P operations by considering core E&P operating costs. The substantial majority of such costs is our lease operating expenses (“LOE”) which includes fuel gas, purchased power, labor, field office, vehicle, supervision, maintenance, tools and supplies, and workover expenses. A core component of our E&P operations in California is steam, which we use to lift heavy oil to the surface. The most significant cost component of generating steam is the fuel gas purchased to operate traditional steam generators and our cogeneration facilities. The following table includes key components of our LOE as well as the gas purchase hedge effect of the fuel used in our steam generation. Energy LOE consists of the costs to generate the steam and electricity we produce and use in our operations and the power we purchase for our E&P operations. Non-energy LOE consists of all remaining LOE costs. Energy LOE - hedged includes the realized (cash settled) hedge effects on the fuel gas we purchase. LOE - hedged includes the realized (cash settled) hedge effects on our total LOE.

Energy LOE - hedged and LOE - hedged are not complete measures of our operating costs. These are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. Our management believes Energy LOE - hedged and LOE - hedged provide useful information in assessing our operating costs and results of operations and are used by the industry and the investment community. These measures also allow our management to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results between periods. While Energy LOE - hedged and LOE - hedged are non-GAAP measures, the amounts included in the calculation of these measures were computed in accordance with GAAP. These measures are provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, operating costs in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than cost measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our computations of Energy LOE - hedged and LOE - hedged may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Energy LOE - hedged and LOE - hedged should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. PROVED RESERVES AND PV-10 The following table summarizes our estimated proved reserves and related PV-10 as of December 31, 2024: Proved Reserves as of December 31, 2024(1) California(San Joaquin basin) Utah(Uinta basin) Total Proved developed reserves: Oil (mmbbl) 54 4 58 Natural gas (bcf) — 15 15 NGLs (mmbbl) — 1 1 Total (mmboe)(2)(3) 54 8 62 Proved undeveloped reserves: Oil (mmbbl) 41 4 45 Natural gas (bcf) — 3 3 NGLs (mmbbl) — — — Total (mmboe)(3) 41 4 45 Total proved reserves: Oil (mmbbl) 95 8 103 Natural gas (bcf) — 18 18 NGLs (mmbbl) — 1 1 Total (mmboe)(3) 95 12 107 PV-10 (in millions)(4)$2,143 $110 $2,253 (1) Our estimated net reserves were determined using average first-day-of-the-month prices for the prior 12 months in accordance with SEC guidance. The unweighted arithmetic average first-day-of-the-month prices for the prior 12 months were $80.42 per bbl Brent for oil and NGLs and $2.13 per mmbtu Henry Hub for natural gas at December 31, 2024. The volume-weighted average realized prices over the lives of the properties were $74.21 per bbl of oil and condensate, $23.27 per bbl of NGLs and $2.85 per mcf.
