Net income reached $70.2 million, up from $63.0 million in the prior year, while operating income more than doubled to $61.0 million from $33.2 million. The company's earnings per share (basic) increased to $1.91 from $1.70 in 2024.

The company also benefited from a $5.5 million income tax benefit, compared to a $22.2 million benefit in 2024.

This represents a shift from 2024 when oil contributed 54.5%, natural gas 17.1%, and NGL 28.5%. The increase in natural gas revenue was particularly notable, growing from $21.4 million to $41.6 million year-over-year. The company's revenue concentration showed three major purchasers accounting for significant portions: Targa Pipeline Mid-Continent West OK LLC (32.6%), Plains Marketing, L.P. (21.5%), and Valero Marketing and Supply Co (13.8%).
The company achieved an operating margin of 39.0% in 2025, a substantial improvement from 26.5% in 2024. This margin expansion was driven by revenue growth outpacing expense increases. Key expense components included lease operating expenses of $36.2 million, depreciation and depletion of $36.4 million for oil and natural gas properties, and general and administrative expenses of $13.2 million. The company recorded a $7.8 million gain on derivative contracts, compared to a $0.7 million gain in 2024. Restructuring expenses were $1.1 million, up from $0.5 million in the prior year.
Operating cash flow increased to $100.1 million from $73.9 million in 2024, driven by strong net income and working capital changes. Investing activities used $64.0 million, primarily for capital expenditures of $58.6 million and asset acquisitions of $8.5 million. Financing activities used $23.3 million, including $15.9 million in dividends paid and $6.4 million in common stock repurchases. The balance sheet remained strong with total assets of $644.0 million, including $111.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $340.6 million in net oil and natural gas properties. Total liabilities were $133.2 million, resulting in stockholders' equity of $510.9 million.
The company's future operations depend on its ability to offset natural declines in oil, natural gas and NGL reserves through development of undeveloped assets and acquisition of additional reserves. Management expects current projected activity to be financed by cash flow from operations or cash on the balance sheet. The company faces risks from commodity price volatility, which could lead to write-downs of capitalized costs if prices decline. Cybersecurity risks are managed through Board oversight with the Audit Committee having primary responsibility. The company's internal control over financial reporting was deemed effective as of December 31, 2025, with Grant Thornton LLP providing an unqualified audit opinion.
