President's Message

“The third quarter marked an important milestone for Atlas as we completed our first royalty acquisition, established our initial source of royalty revenue and successfully exited the TSXV Sandbox,” said Mark Hodgson, Atlas Energy's President and Chief Executive Officer.“Our $15 million investment in producing Alberta oil and gas assets demonstrates our ability to structure and execute transactions aligned with our investment strategy and provides a revenue-generating foundation from which to pursue our international growth ambitions.”

“While our third quarter operating results reflect only seven days of royalty ownership, we enter the next stage of Atlas's development with an established royalty revenue base, approximately $9.2 million in cash and no debt at quarter-end.”

“International royalty and streaming opportunities remain our principal growth focus. We are advancing our pipeline with the objective of converting these opportunities into completed transactions that diversify our asset base, expand our sources of long-term revenue and deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns for shareholders. Our first acquisition is an important step in building Atlas, and our priority is to build on that momentum through disciplined execution of our international strategy.”

Royalty Acquisition and Operating Results

On September 24, 2026, Atlas acquired a newly created gross overriding royalty on the working interest of Caledonian Midstream Corp., a privately held Alberta oil and gas producer in producing assets located in Southwest Alberta.

The royalty entitles Atlas to payments calculated on 9% of the producer's working interest share of petroleum substances produced and sold from the royalty lands, including crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids and sulphur. The royalty is free of operating and development costs, subject only to attributable third-party transportation costs.

The 9% royalty remains in effect until cumulative royalty payments to Atlas reach $30.0 million, representing twice the initial investment, after which the royalty decreases to 4%, or 2% if the threshold is reached within five years of closing.

During the seven days following closing, Atlas generated royalty revenue of $141,000, including $87,000 from sulphur, $28,000 from natural gas liquids, $16,000 from crude oil and $10,000 from natural gas.

Average daily royalty production over this period was 235 boe/d, consisting of approximately 19 barrels per day of crude oil, 61 barrels per day of natural gas liquids and 929 Mcf per day of natural gas. Sulphur production attributable to the royalty averaged approximately 11 metric tonnes per day.

As the acquisition closed on September 24, 2026, these results reflect only seven days of royalty ownership and may not be representative of future production or revenue levels.

Financial Results and Liquidity

Atlas reported a net loss of $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with a net loss of $0.7 million in the corresponding period of 2025. The current quarter's results primarily reflect corporate general and administrative expenses and ongoing business development activities, partially offset by the commencement of royalty revenue.

At September 30, 2026, Atlas had cash and cash equivalents of $9.2 million, working capital of $8.9 million and no outstanding debt, following the completion of its $15.0 million royalty acquisition. The Company continues to evaluate additional royalty and streaming opportunities in international markets and selectively in North America.

Reader Advisories

Conversion of Natural Gas to Barrels of Oil Equivalent

Natural gas volumes have been converted to barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) using the industry standard conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil (6 Mcf:1 bbl). Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value. Sulphur production is excluded from boe calculations.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

This news release references working capital, a capital management measure that does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similarly named measures presented by other issuers. Working capital is calculated as total current assets less total current liabilities. At September 30, 2026, current assets were $9.564 million and current liabilities were $0.696 million, resulting in working capital of $8.868 million. Management uses working capital to assess the Company's liquidity and its ability to fund its operating requirements. Additional information regarding this measure is contained under the heading“Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures” in the Company's MD&A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, which is incorporated by reference into this news release and is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at
