YEAR END 2025 PROVED RESERVES
The Company's year end 2025 SEC proved reserves, as prepared by an independent third-party reserve engineer, were 1.5 MBoe.
The SEC twelve-month first day of month average used for year end 2025 was $65.34 per Bbl for oil and $3.39 per Mcf of natural gas, a reduction of 13% and increase of 54% for oil and natural gas respectively when compared to year end 2024 SEC pricing. The year end 2025 SEC proved reserves were comprised of 75% oil and 25% natural gas. The 2025 year end proved reserves were 100% classified as proved developed producing ("PDP").
The present value of the Company's reported SEC proved reserves, discounted at 10% ("PV-10"), at year-end 2025 was $18.4 million.
FULL YEAR 2025 FINANCIAL AND OPERATING SUMMARY
Full year 2025 production was 164,752 barrels of oil equivalent (“BOE”) (68% oil), compared to 415,887 BOE the prior year. As previously disclosed, this year-over-year decline reflects the Company's deliberate and strategic monetization of its legacy oil and gas asset portfolio, a planned initiative designed to reallocate capital. For the full year 2025, revenue totaled $7.4 million (87% oil), compared to 2024 revenue of $20.6 million. Full year 2025 realized average sales pricing averaged $56.54/bbl and $3.13/mcf for oil and natural gas, respectively, resulting in an average realized price of $44.63/BOE as compared to 2024 which averaged $70.91/bbl and $2.56 mcf for oil and natural gas, respectively, resulting in an average realized price of $49.58/BOE. The reduction in production and revenue was entirely the result of the Company's previously disclosed and intentional asset divestiture program, which successfully funded the Company's pivot to its industrial gas and carbon management platform, as well as a decline in realized commodity pricing.
Full year 2025 lease operating expense totaled $5.2 million compared to $11.2 million in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the Company's previously disclosed asset divestiture program. Cash general and administrative expense totaled $6.2 million for the full year 2025 compared to $6.9 million for 2024. The decrease from 2024 is primarily due to a reduction in compensation and benefits year-over-year. Equity compensation expense totaled $1.9 million for full year 2025 compared to $1.3 million for 2024.
U.S. Energy generated Adjusted EBITDA of ($4.5 million) during 2025. The Company reported a net loss of $14.4 million, or $0.43 per diluted share. Consistent with the Company's strategic repositioning, the net loss included a non-cash $3.6 million impairment of oil and natural gas properties as well as a $0.4 million loss on the sale of East Texas properties. These items are non-recurring in nature and reflect the deliberate wind-down of the Company's legacy oil and gas footprint in favor of its industrial gas, energy, and CCUS platform, and do not impact the Company's forward financial trajectory.
FOURTH QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL AND OPERATING SUMMARY
Fourth quarter 2025 production was 33,733 barrels of oil equivalent (“BOE”) (68% oil), compared to 35,326 BOE the third quarter 2025. For the fourth quarter 2025 revenue totaled $1.4 million (84% oil), compared to third quarter 2025 revenue of $1.7 million. Fourth quarter 2025 realized average sales pricing for averaged $51.25/bbl and $3.38/mcf for oil and natural gas, respectively, resulting in an average realized price of $41.36/BOE as compared to third quarter 2025 which averaged $60.10/bbl and $2.82/mcf for oil and natural gas, respectively, resulting in an average realized price of $49.19/BOE. The sequential decline in production and revenue was primarily driven by the Company's planned West Texas divestiture during the fourth quarter, representing the final significant step in the Company's legacy asset optimization program. This divestiture, combined with lower commodity prices, accounted for substantially all of the quarter-over-quarter variance.
Fourth quarter 2025 lease operating expense totaled $1.0 million, which was flat when compared to third quarter 2025. Cash general and administrative expense totaled $1.1 million for the fourth quarter 2025 compared to $1.7 million for the third quarter 2025. The decrease from the third quarter 2025 is primarily due to a reduction in compensation and professional fees from the prior quarter. Equity compensation expense totaled $0.4 million for the third and fourth quarter 2025.
U.S. Energy generated Adjusted EBITDA of ($0.5 million) during the fourth quarter 2025. The Company reported a net loss of $1.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted share during the fourth quarter 2025.

ADJUSTED EBITDA RECONCILIATION
In addition to our results calculated under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), in this earnings release we also present Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a“non-GAAP financial measure” presented as supplemental measures of the Company's performance. It is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), plus net interest expense, net unrealized loss (gain) on change in fair value of derivatives, income tax (benefit) expense, deferred income taxes, depreciation, depletion, accretion and amortization, one-time costs associated with completed transactions and the associated assumed derivative contracts, non-cash share-based compensation, transaction related expenses, transaction related acquired realized derivative loss (gain), and loss (gain) on marketable securities. Company management believes this presentation is relevant and useful because it helps investors understand U.S. Energy's operating performance and makes it easier to compare its results with those of other companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe it provides additional useful information to investors due to the various noncash items during the period. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt or cash income tax payments; although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and other companies in this industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than the Company does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
The Company's presentation of this measure should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP measure, below. We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in their entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view this non-GAAP measure in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
