"Frontera's third quarter financial and operating results highlight the decisive steps we are taking to deliver stakeholder value, maintain operational flexibility, drive cost efficiencies and maintain a strong balance sheet.
During the quarter, we continued to prioritize operational improvements, reducing our production costs quarter-over-quarter by 5%, driven by the implementation of new field production technologies, continuous optimization, cost reduction in O&M contracts and digital process implementation. We also reduced our transportation costs by 1% quarter-over-quarter driven by optimizing our transportation routes and pipeline agreements, including the expiry of our long term Ocensa P-135 Take or Pay agreement. These improvements were partially offset by increasing energy costs as we processed higher liquids volumes during the quarter. We also simplified our corporate structure during the third quarter, through targeted reorganization initiatives that will improve organizational and operational efficiencies, generating between
Production during the quarter decreased 2%, mainly due to adverse weather conditions as well as related operational and logistical challenges, which have since been resolved. The 2025 rainy season stands among the most severe in a decade, with well above historical rainfall averages impacting operations. For the nine months ending
Considering these factors, we have adjusted our 2025 annual
Subsequent to the quarter, Frontera spudded the high-impact Guapo-1 well at the VIM-1 block, targeting natural gas and condensate. Drilling is expected to be completed by
On our infrastructure business, we continue to see strong momentum supporting all areas of this business unit. ODL saw strong quarter over quarter volumes and EBITDA growth led by an increase in production associated with Ecopetrol's Caño Sur block. In Puerto Bahía, the port's operating EBITDA was relatively flat quarter over quarter despite a reduction in liquids throughput volumes associated to a trader's exit from the country. The financial impact of the reduced liquids throughput volumes was offset entirely by a strong performance from our general cargo operations, which saw strong growth in container volumes, that surpassed 3,600 twenty-foot equivalent units ("TEUs") in October. On SAARA, water management volumes continue to increase and stabilize, reaching an average of approximately 157,000 barrels of water per day processed during the quarter, including reaching a maximum throughput of 230,000 barrels per day, and gaining momentum towards our goal of 250,000 barrels per day.
The Company's standalone and growing Colombian infrastructure business, which includes interests in ODL and Puerto Bahía, together with its partner GASCO, has reached final investment decision ("FID") on the planned liquified petroleum gas ("LPG") project. The initial phase is being fast-tracked and is expected to be operational in the first half of 2026, helping address supply constraints in

- The Company recorded net income, attributable to equity holders of the Company, from continuing operations of
$28.2 million ($0.38 /share), in the third quarter of 2025, compared with a net loss, attributable to equity holders of the Company, from continuing operations of$410.9 million , net of a non-cash impairment expenses of$431.9 million ($5.32 /share) in the prior quarter and net income from continuing operations of$16.9 million ($0.19 /share) in the third quarter of 2024. Net income from continuing operations included a loss from operations of$13.9 million (net of a non-cash impairment expense of$9.7 million ), finance expenses of$18.9 million and$4.9 million related to loss on risk management contracts, partially offset by an income tax recovery of$20.6 million (including$20.9 million of deferred income tax recovery),$15.9 million from share of income from associates, other income by$12.0 million mainly related to insurance recoveries for the Sabanero block by$14.7 million , and foreign exchange income of$2.1 million . - Total Colombian production averaged 38,934 boe/d in the third quarter of 2025, compared with 39,778 boe/d in the prior quarter and 38,840 boe/d in the third quarter of 2024. Heavy crude oil production declined by 2% during the quarter, mainly due to adverse weather conditions as well as related operational and logistical challenges, which have since been resolved. Offset by increases in conventional natural gas production driven by the commercialization of volumes from the VIM-1 block. Additionally, Colombian light and medium crude oil combined production decrease by 6%, primarily due to natural declines.

- Operating EBITDA from continuing operations was
$86.6 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared with$73.5 million in the prior quarter and$96.5 million in the third quarter of 2024. The quarter over quarter increase was mainly due to higher volumes sold during the quarter, higher Brent oil prices and lower production costs and transportation cost (net of realized FX hedge impact), partially offset by higher energy costs. - Cash provided by operating activities was
$115.0 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared with$41.8 million in the prior quarter, and$124.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. During the quarter, the Company invested$50.9 million in capital expenditures, paid$66.5 million to shareholders through its substantial issuer bid, received$14.7 million in insurance compensation for the Sabanero block and received$18.5 million in cash dividends from ODL. - The Company reported a total cash position of
$172.1 million atSeptember 30, 2025 , compared with$197.5 million atJune 30, 2025 , and$240.3 million atSeptember 30, 2024 . - As at
September 30, 2025 , the Company had a total crude oil inventory balance of 919,914 barrels compared to 1,109,347 barrels atJune 30, 2025 . The Company had a total inventory balance inColombia of 439,714 barrels, including 348,544 crude oil barrels and 91,170 barrels of diluent and others. This compared to 629,147 barrels as atJune 30, 2025 , and 777,158 barrels as atSeptember 30, 2024 . The decrease in inventory levels quarter over quarter was associated with higher volumes of oil inventory sold during the quarter. - Capital expenditures were
$50.9 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared with$59.0 million in the prior quarter and$74.9 million in the third quarter of 2024. During the third quarter the Company drilled 16 wells primarily in the Quifa and CPE-6 blocks. - The Company's net sales realized price was
$59.72 /boe in the third quarter of 2025, compared to$58.98 /boe in the prior quarter and$66.27 /boe in the third quarter of 2024. The quarter over quarter increase was primarily driven by a higher Brent benchmark oil price, stronger oil price differentials, partially offset by premiums paid on oil price risk management contracts. - The Company's operating netback from continuing operations was
$33.98 /boe in the third quarter of 2025, compared with$33.53 /boe in the prior quarter and$39.54 /boe in the third quarter of 2024. The increase in the Company's operating netback quarter-over-quarter was mainly due to higher net sales realized price, lower production costs and transportation cost, (net of realized FX hedge impacts), partially offset by higher energy costs - Production costs (excluding energy costs), net of realized FX hedge impact, averaged
$8.46 /boe in the third quarter of 2025, compared with$8.89 /boe in the prior quarter and$8.89 /boe in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in production costs was primarily due to new field production technologies, continuous optimization, cost reduction in O&M contracts and digital process implementation. - Energy costs, net of realized FX hedging impacts, averaged
$5.56 /boe in the third quarter of 2025, compared to$4.75 /boe in the prior quarter and up from$5.25 /boe in the third quarter of 2024. The increase quarter over quarter was mainly due to higher fuel consumption resulting from higher processed production liquid volumes. - Transportation costs, net of realized FX hedging impacts averaged
$11.72 /boe in the third quarter of 2025, compared with$11.81 /boe in the prior quarter and$12.59 /boe in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in transportation costs during the quarter was mainly driven by the optimization of the transportation routes and pipeline agreements including the termination of the Ocensa P-135 long-term Take-or-Pay agreement. - Restructuring costs during the quarter were
$8.3 million , driven by targeted reorganization initiatives, resulting in expected savings of 20% in corporate overhead going forward. - ODL volumes transported were 241,958 bbl/d during the third quarter of 2025, up slightly led by an increase in volumes from Ecopetrol's Caño Sur block, compared with the previous quarter, which saw 235,804 bbl/d in volumes transported.
- Total
Puerto Bahia liquids volumes were 39,560 bbl/d during the quarter compared to 53,280 bbl/d the previous quarter, the reduction in liquids volumes was due to a third-party trader's exit from the country. The Company is actively seeking to replace the lost volumes. The financial impact of the reduced liquids throughput volumes was offset entirely by a strong performance from the general cargo operations, which saw strong growth in container volumes, that surpassed 3,000 TEUs in September. - Adjusted Infrastructure EBITDA in the quarter was
$30.4 million , compared to$27.1 million in the prior quarter. The quarter over quarter increase was mainly a result of higher revenues from the ODL business due to higher volumes transported through the pipeline.
Frontera's Sustainability Strategy
During the quarter, the Company continued to make progress towards its 2028 sustainability goals and achieved 81% of its 2025 plan year to date.
In line with its supply chain sustainability strategy, the Company strengthened its Business Network for Responsible Business Conduct — a collaborative platform that fosters human rights due diligence, shared policies, and best practices — ensuring a consistent and responsible approach across suppliers and key subsidiaries, including Puerto Bahía and ProAgrollanos.
In the third quarter of 2025, local suppliers accounted for 11.58% of total purchases, reflecting the Company's ongoing commitment to support local economic development. Additionally, Frontera maintained strong performance in health and safety indicators, reporting a Total Recordable Incident Rate ("TRIR") of 0.57. The Company also attained a water reuse rate of 36% within its operational activities.
In addition, Frontera achieved the "Level of Excellence" certified by Great Place to Work.
Enhancing Shareholder Returns
The Company continues to consider investor-focused initiatives for the remainder of 2025 and beyond, including additional dividends, distributions, share or bond buybacks, based on the overall results of the businesses, oil prices and cash flow generation. Additionally, the Company also continues to consider all options to enhance the value of its common shares, and in so doing may consider forms of strategic initiatives or transactions, which may include a further return of capital to shareholders, a merger or a business combination, or the transfer, sale or other disposition of all or a significant portion of the business, assets or securities of the Company, the recapitalization or separation of interest in one or more subsidiaries or in assets of the Company, whether in one or a series of transactions. However, there can be no assurance that any such initiative or transaction will occur or if it occurs, the timing thereof.

Infrastructure Colombia Segment Results
Adjusted Infrastructure EBITDA in the third quarter of 2025 was
Puerto Bahía's operating EBITDA was relatively flat quarter over quarter despite a reduction in liquids associated to a third-part trader's exit from the country. The financial impact of the reduced liquids throughput volumes was offset entirely by a strong performance from general cargo operations, which saw strong growth in container volumes, that surpassed 3,000 TEUs in September.
On the SAARA side, the Company continued to increase water management volumes reaching an average of 156,767 barrels of water per day for the quarter. The Company achieved maximum throughput capacity of 230,000 barrels of water per day, gaining momentum towards its goal of 250,000 barrels per day.

Hedging Update
As part of its risk management strategy, Frontera uses derivative commodity instruments to manage exposure to price volatility by hedging a portion of its oil production. The Company's strategy aims to protect 40-60% of its estimated net after royalties' production using a combination of instruments, capped and non-capped, to protect the revenue generation and cash position of the Company, while maximizing the upside, thereby allowing the Company to take a more dynamic approach to the management of its hedging portfolio.

Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company's goal of enhancing shareholder value by returning capital to shareholders, among other initiatives, the expected completion date of the LPG Project and its impact on
These forward-looking statements reflect the current expectations or beliefs of the Company based on information currently available to the Company. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements, and even if such actual results are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, the Company. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things: volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas; the
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as may be required by applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. Although the Company believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein.
This news release contains future oriented financial information and financial outlook information (collectively, "FOFI") (including, without limitation, statements regarding expected average production), and are subject to the same assumptions, risk factors, limitations and qualifications as set forth in the above paragraph. The FOFI has been prepared by management to provide an outlook of the Company's activities and results, and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Company and management believe that the FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's reasonable estimates and judgments, however, actual results of operations of the Company and the resulting financial results may vary from the amounts set forth herein. Any FOFI speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any FOFI, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, unless required by applicable laws.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This press release contains various "non-IFRS financial measures" (equivalent to "non-GAAP financial measures", as such term is defined in NI 52-112), "non-IFRS ratios" (equivalent to "non-GAAP ratios", as such term is defined in NI 52-112), "supplementary financial measures" (as such term is defined in NI 52-112) and "capital management measures" (as such term is defined in NI 52-112), which are described in further detail below. Such measures do not have standardized IFRS definitions. The Company's determination of these non-IFRS financial measures may differ from other reporting issuers and they are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Furthermore, these financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance or cash flows as prepared in accordance with IFRS. These financial measures do not replace or supersede any standardized measure under IFRS. Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
The Company discloses these financial measures, together with measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, because management believes they provide useful information to investors and shareholders, as management uses them to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. These financial measures highlight trends in the Company's core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Further, management also uses non-IFRS measures to exclude the impact of certain expenses and income that management does not believe reflect the Company's underlying operating performance. The Company's management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and to prepare annual operating budgets and as a measure of the Company's ability to finance its ongoing operations and obligations.
Set forth below is a description of the non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS ratios, supplementary financial measures and capital management measures used in the MD&A.
Operating EBITDA from Continuing Operations *
EBITDA is a commonly used non-IFRS financial measure that adjusts net income (loss) as reported under IFRS to exclude the effects of income taxes, finance income and expenses, and DD&A. Operating EBITDA from continuing operations is a non-IFRS financial measure that represents the operating results of the Company's primary business, excluding the following items: restructuring, severance and other costs, post-termination obligation, trunkline costs, temporal taxes, payments of minimum work commitments and, certain non-cash items (such as impairments, foreign exchange, unrealized risk management contracts, share-based compensation and debt extinguishment cost) and gains or losses arising from the disposal of capital assets. In addition, other unusual or non-recurring items are excluded from operating EBITDA from continuing operations, as they are not indicative of the underlying core operating performance of the Company.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Operating EBITDA from continuing operations:

(1) Non-IFRS financial measure |
Net sales is a non-IFRS financial measure that adjusts revenue to include realized gains and losses from oil risk management contracts while removing the cost of any volumes purchased from third parties. This is a useful indicator for management, as the Company hedges a portion of its oil production using derivative instruments to manage exposure to oil price volatility. This metric allows the Company to report its realized net sales after factoring in these oil risk management activities. The deduction of cost of purchases is helpful to understand the Company's sales performance based on the net realized proceeds from its own production, the cost of which is partially recovered when the blended product is sold. Net sales also exclude sales from port services, as it is not considered part of the oil and gas segment. Refer to the reconciliation in the "Sales" section on page 10 of the MD&A.
Operating Netback and Oil and Gas Sales, Net of Purchases
Operating netback is a non-IFRS financial measure and operating netback per boe is a non-IFRS ratio. Operating netback per boe is used to assess the net margin of the Company's production after subtracting all costs associated with bringing one barrel of oil to the market. It is also commonly used by the oil and gas industry to analyze financial and operating performance expressed as profit per barrel and is an indicator of how efficient the Company is at extracting and selling its product. For netback purposes, the Company removes the effects of any trading activities and results from its Infrastructure Colombia Segment from the per barrel metrics and adds the effects attributable to transportation and operating costs of any realized gain or loss on foreign exchange risk management contracts. Refer to the reconciliation in the "Operating Netback" section on page 9 of the MD&A.
The following is a description of each component of the Company's operating netback and how it is calculated. Oil and gas sales, net of purchases, is a non-IFRS financial measure that is calculated using oil and gas sales less the cost of volumes purchased from third parties including its transportation and refining costs. Oil and gas sales, net of purchases per boe, is a non-IFRS ratio that is calculated using oil and gas sales, net of purchases, divided by the total sales volumes, net of purchases. A reconciliation of this calculation is provided below:

Non-IFRS Ratios
Realized oil price, net of purchases, and realized gas price per boe
Realized oil price, net of purchases, and realized gas price per boe are both non-IFRS ratios. Realized oil price, net of purchases, per boe is calculated using oil sales net of purchases, divided by total sales volumes, net of purchases. Realized gas price is calculated using sales from gas production divided by the conventional natural gas sales volumes.
