Evolution Petroleum Corporation
Transaction Remains Highly Accretive to Both Near and Long-Term Cash Flows
HOUSTON, April 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Evolution Petroleum Corporation (NYSE American: EPM) (“Evolution” or the “Company”) today announced the closing of its previously announced acquisition of non-operated oil and natural gas assets located in New Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana (the “Acquisition”, or “TexMex”). The total purchase price for the Acquisition is $9.0 million before customary post-closing adjustments, with an effective date of February 1, 2025. The Company funded the Acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under its existing credit facility.
Strategic Benefits of the Acquisition:
Attractive valuation at ~3.4x estimated next 12 months (NTM) Adjusted EBITDA1 based on current strip pricing.
Adds ~440 net BOEPD of stable, low-decline production (60% oil and 40% natural gas).
Provides enhanced cash flow visibility and strengthens long-term dividend sustainability.
Offers low-risk development upside with potential for incremental production growth.
$9.0 million purchase price vs. ~$13 million of Proved Developed PV-102.2
Kelly Loyd, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Despite recent commodity price and market volatility, our TexMex transaction remains highly accretive to both near-term and long-term cash flows and directly supports our core objective — preserving and enhancing the long-term sustainability of our dividend. Our negotiated deal represents a significant discount to PV10 at the current strip and, due to its low-decline nature, should only get better if oil prices move back up to a more normalized price range. TexMex is yet another execution of our proven strategy and represents exactly the kind of transaction that underpins Evolution’s long-standing commitment to deliver a stable and sustainable dividend.”
