The joint press release announcing the transaction is available at https://phxmin.com/news/press-releases.

(1) This is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to the Non-GAAP Reconciliation section. Chad L. Stephens, President and CEO, commented,"PHX had a strong start to 2025, delivering solid cash flow and adjusted EBITDA on both a sequential and year-over-year basis. The closing of our recent divestiture of non-producing minerals in January, along with strong cash generation, enabled us to further reduce our debt to $19.8 million as of March 31, 2025, resulting in a debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM) ratio under 1x. A strong and flexible balance sheet continues to be an important part of our strategy." "The natural gas environment showed meaningful improvement during the first quarter driven by tightening supply-demand dynamics, colder-than-expected winter weather, and increasing liquefied natural gas (LNG) export demand. This backdrop is translating into heightened operator activity across our mineral acreage as demonstrated by a higher gross and net number of wells in progress as of the quarter end. We expect this trend to continue throughout 2025 and into 2026, supporting the increased production volumes and enhanced cash flow from our assets."

The percentage of royalty production volumes attributable to natural gas was 82% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Working Interest Production for the last five quarters was as follows: Quarter ended Mcf Sold Oil Bbls Sold NGL Bbls Sold Mcfe Sold 3/31/2025 161,440 4,155 10,569 249,782 12/31/2024 178,327 3,979 13,321 282,134 9/30/2024 173,807 4,528 13,321 280,900 6/30/2024 160,670 4,804 11,533 258,689 3/31/2024 166,528 4,177 11,340 259,629 Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 Results The Company recorded net income of $4.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, as compared to net loss of $(0.2) million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The change in net income was principally the result of an increase in natural gas, oil and NGL sales and an increase in gain on asset sales, partially offset by an increase in losses associated with derivative contracts, an increase in general and administrative expenses, and an increase in transportation, gathering and marketing expenses. Natural gas, oil and NGL revenue increased $3.3 million, or 47%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024, due to increases in natural gas and NGL prices of 83% and 26%, respectively, and increases in natural gas and oil volumes of 2% and 14%, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in oil price of 7% and a decrease in NGL volumes of 9%. The increase in royalty production volumes during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024, resulted primarily from new wells being brought online in the Haynesville Shale and SCOOP plays. The Company had a net loss on derivative contracts of ($3.2) million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, comprised of a ($0.2) million loss on settled derivatives and a ($2.9) million non-cash loss on derivatives, as compared to a net gain of $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The change in net gain (loss) on derivative contracts was due to the Company's settlements of natural gas and oil collars and fixed price swaps and the change in valuation caused by the difference in March 31, 2025 pricing relative to the strike price on open derivative contracts. Operations Update During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company converted 65 gross (0.113 net) wells to producing status, including 5 gross (0.009 net) wells in the Haynesville and 26 gross (0.036 net) wells in the SCOOP, compared to 85 gross (0.32 net) wells converted in the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

In prior releases, the Company generally has not excluded professional fees in defining adjusted EBITDA, but has excluded professional fees associated with the announced strategic alternatives process in defining adjusted EBITDA in this press release as the Company believes excluding these particular fees in the presentation of adjusted EBITDA may be useful to investors in their evaluation of the Company's financial performance. The Company has included a presentation of adjusted EBITDA because it recognizes that certain investors consider this amount to be a useful means of measuring the Company's ability to meet its debt service obligations and evaluating its financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow from operations or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA for the quarters indicated: Three Months Ended Three Months Ended Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 Dec. 31, 2024 Net Income $ 4,383,882 $ (183,615) $ 109,400 Plus: Income tax expense 1,297,205 42,332 (27,551) Interest expense 452,051 714,886 573,920 DD&A 2,430,207 2,356,326 2,605,809 Impairment expense - - 52,673 Professional fees associated with announced strategic alternatives process 549,400 - - Less: Non-cash gains (losses) on derivatives (2,944,699) (1,041,817) (1,509,661) Gains (losses) on asset sales 6,625,686 66,500 - Plus: Restricted stock and deferred director's expense 729,461 701,788 561,603 Adjusted EBITDA $ 6,161,219 $ 4,607,034 $ 5,385,515 Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA (TTM) Reconciliation "Debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM)" is defined as the ratio of long-term debt to adjusted EBITDA on a trailing 12-month (TTM) basis. The Company has included a presentation of debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM) because it recognizes that certain investors consider such ratios to be a useful means of measuring the Company's ability to meet its debt service obligations and for evaluating its financial performance. The debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM) ratio has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow from operations or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM) may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA on a TTM basis and of the resulting debt-to-adjusted EBITDA (TTM) ratio: TTM Ended TTM Ended March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 Net Income $ 6,889,363 $ 4,183,941 Plus: Income tax expense 2,082,060 1,710,792 Interest expense 2,300,433 2,519,806 DD&A 9,680,325 9,032,521 Professional fees associated with announced strategic alternatives process 549,400 - Impairment expense 52,673 36,460 Less: Non-cash gains (losses) on derivatives (5,900,877) 88,315 Gains (losses) on asset sales 7,077,578 377,276 Plus: Restricted stock and deferred director's expense 2,500,682 2,501,129 Adjusted EBITDA $ 22,878,235 $ 19,519,058 Debt $ 19,750,000 $ 30,750,000 Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA (TTM) 0.86 1.58 PHX Minerals Inc.
