Management Comments
Tracy W. Krohn
We are pleased to report another strong quarter of operational and financial results, with Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $55 million, an increase of 137% compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. We reported production toward the high end of our guidance range and flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, despite some adverse weather impacts in early 2026. We were also able to lower our base LOE costs. We continue to capture cost savings and synergies from previous acquisitions. Additionally, we saw improved realizations for oil and natural gas compared with the fourth quarter of 2025 and our oil price realized in March of 2026 was $88.61 per barrel. With consistent production, increasing realized pricing and continued cost control, we believe that we are well positioned operationally and financially to deliver robust results in 2026, while we examine accretive acquisition opportunities. Acquisitions remain a key component of our success, and it is our ability to integrate and enhance the assets that we acquire that has allowed us to grow reserves and production over the past 40 years. Our strategy is clear and our ability to execute it can be seen in our results. I believe the market is beginning to reflect our strong results in our increased share price. We remain committed to operational excellence, enhancing shareholder value and believe that W&T is on the right path in 2026 and beyond.”
