Amplify Energy Announces First Quarter 2026 Results and Announces Beta Field Royalty Relief
HOUSTON, May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amplify Energy Corp. (NYSE: AMPY) (“Amplify,” the “Company,” “us,” or “our”) announced today updates to its operating and financial results for the first quarter of 2026 and reaffirmed its full-year 2026 guidance.
First Quarter Highlights and Recent Developments
- During the first quarter of 2026, the Company:
- Averaged total production of 6.4 Mbopd (100% oil)
- Generated net cash provided by operating activities of $4.5 million and a net loss of $38.1 million
- Delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $3.8 million and Adjusted Net Income of $5.3 million
- Concluded all transition services related to the East Texas and Oklahoma asset divestitures
- Obtained royalty relief at our Beta field, reducing the Company’s royalty burden to approximately 12.5% (from approximately 25.0%) effective May 1, 2026, increasing net production and revenue
- Continued the drilling program at Beta
- Completed the C04 well in March with a peak IP30 of 500 Bopd. At current pricing, Amplify expects the well to pay out in approximately six months with an IRR greater than 100%
- The C32 well was spud in late March and encountered mechanical complications in the shallow sections of the well leading to the abandonment of the well before setting intermediate casing
- Continued strategic evaluation of Bairoil’s potential role in carbon storage and low-carbon initiatives
- Reaffirmed prior guidance for full-year 2026
- As of March 31, 2026, Amplify had no outstanding debt under its revolving credit facility and $41.5 million cash and cash equivalents
Dan Furbee, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Amplify has entered 2026 with positive momentum, supported by a strong balance sheet, a more streamlined organization, a simplified oil-weighted portfolio and a constructive crude oil price environment. As we pursue value-adding opportunities at Beta and Bairoil, we believe we will continue to benefit from these dynamics.”
Mr. Furbee continued, “At Beta, we continue to pursue our drilling program, and we are pleased with the performance of the C04 well that we brought on-line in March as it further demonstrates the prolific results of the Joulters fault block at Beta. Furthermore, the team recently secured royalty relief that has increased our net production and profitability at Beta. At Bairoil, we remain optimistic that we will find opportunities to leverage our available pore space to enhance the asset’s cash generating potential.”
Beta Royalty Relief
Amplify successfully obtained royalty relief at its Beta field effective May 1, 2026, which reduced the Company’s royalty burden by approximately 50.0% (from 25.0% to approximately 12.5%), resulting in higher production and revenue. This relief increases net production by over 600 barrels of oil per day and is expected to generate more than $1.0 million per month in incremental revenue at current commodity prices. Royalty relief is subject to pricing and production thresholds, detailed further in our latest Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, which Amplify expects to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 11, 2026.
Key Financial Results – 1st Quarter
The quarter-over-quarter comparisons presented herein are affected by the East Texas and Oklahoma asset divestures completed during the fourth quarter of 2025. These transactions materially impact reported results, and accordingly, period-to-period comparisons should be considered in light of these asset divestitures unless otherwise specified.
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company reported a net loss of approximately $38.1 million compared to net income of $64.4 million in the prior quarter which included the gain on the divestiture of the East Texas and Oklahoma assets. The net loss in the quarter was primarily attributable to a $43.4 million non-cash unrealized loss on commodity derivatives during the period. Excluding the impact of the non-cash unrealized loss on commodity derivatives, and additional other one-time impacts, Amplify generated Adjusted Net Income of $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2026. First quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA was $3.8 million and Free Cash Flow was negative $18.1 million. Both Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow were in line with expectations.

Corporate Production and Pricing
During the first quarter of 2026, average daily production was approximately 6.4 MBopd and 100% crude oil. Compared to the prior quarter, Beta average daily production increased by approximately 1%, while Bairoil average daily production declined by 6% due to downtime from compression disruptions.
Total oil, natural gas and NGL revenues for the first quarter of 2026 were approximately $37.3 million, before the impact of derivatives. The Company realized a net loss on commodity derivatives of $2.4 million during the first quarter of 2026.

Costs and Expenses
In the first quarter of 2026, lease operating expenses at Beta and Bairoil were approximately $22.0 million, which was in line with expectations. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, lease operating expenses in the first quarter of 2026 at Bairoil and Beta were lower by $1.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Full-year 2026 lease operating expense guidance remains unchanged at $80.0 to $100.0 million.
Severance and ad valorem taxes for Beta and Bairoil in the first quarter of 2026 were approximately $2.3 million, which was in line with the prior quarter and consistent with expectations. Severance and ad valorem taxes as a percentage of revenue were approximately 6.3% in the first quarter of 2026.
Amplify incurred approximately $0.8 million, or $1.31 per Boe, of gathering, processing and transportation (GP&T) expenses in the first quarter of 2026.
Cash G&A expenses in the first quarter of 2026 were approximately $6.3 million compared to $7.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. The Company anticipates that quarterly cash G&A expenses will be significantly lower throughout the remainder of the year primarily due to annual year-end processes that impact various cost drivers in the first quarter and the significant reduction in Company overhead related to the East Texas and Oklahoma divestures. The Company expects costs to be in line with our previously announced guidance range of $17.0 to $22.0 million.
In the first quarter of 2026, depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense totaled approximately $5.7 million and net interest expense was $1.0 million. As noted in last quarter’s earnings release, interest expense is primarily related to surety bond premiums for the Beta asset.
Amplify recorded an $11.6 million deferred income tax benefit for the first quarter of 2026.
First Quarter Capital Investments
Cash capital investment during the first quarter of 2026 was approximately $21.0 million. The Company’s capital allocation in the quarter was primarily invested in development drilling and recompletions at Beta.

2026 Remaining Year Outlook
Beta
At Beta, Amplify continues to advance its focused, high-return development program centered on the D Sand interval in the Joulters fault block. First quarter activity at Beta reinforces the technical quality and durability of this development area and highlights the Company’s disciplined approach to execution as it progresses its development program.
During the first quarter of 2026, Amplify drilled the C04 well in the Joulters fault block targeting the D Sand, which delivered a strong IP30 production rate of approximately 500 barrels of oil per day. The performance of the C04 well is consistent with prior results in the Joulters block and further reinforces our assessment that this area represents a very attractive and value-accretive development opportunity. With significant additional D Sand drilling locations identified in our inventory, these results continue to support what we believe to be a repeatable, multi-year development opportunity within the Joulters fault block.
The Company also initiated drilling operations on the C32 well and C55 well during the first quarter of 2026. While running intermediate casing, the C32 well encountered a tool failure that prevented further progression of the well. As a result, Amplify has elected not to complete the C32 well. Although disappointing, this decision reflects the Company’s disciplined development philosophy and focus on deploying capital only where risk adjusted returns meet established investment thresholds.
With respect to the C55 well, the Company completed the planned plug back of the original wellbore, set a whipstock, milled the casing window for the sidetrack, and drilled a portion of the intermediate hole section. During these operations, an over pressured B Sand interval was encountered, requiring the installation of an expandable liner prior to completion. The required liner is expected to be available toward the end of the second quarter of 2026, at which time Amplify intends to complete the C55 well.
Currently, the Company is drilling the C29 well in the Joulters fault block and plans to subsequently drill the C16 well, also targeting the Joulters fault block, followed by completion of the C55 well in the Main Fault block.
As previously disclosed, the Company had expected to complete its first four wells by the end of June. Following the tool failure encountered in the C32 well, Amplify now anticipates completing these initial four wells early in the third quarter of 2026. Upon completion, the Company will evaluate well performance and determine the appropriate development pace for the remainder of 2026. Importantly, the recently granted royalty relief applicable to the Beta field is expected to more than offset the impact associated with the revised completion timing.
Overall, Amplify remains encouraged by the technical results achieved at Beta, particularly within the Joulters fault block, and believes the field continues to offer a deep inventory of high return development opportunities. With a strengthened balance sheet and a more focused asset base, the Company is well positioned to execute its Beta development program in a disciplined manner while delivering long-term value to shareholders. Please see our recently released investor presentation for more details on our Beta assets and near-term drilling and development plans.
Bairoil
At Bairoil, Amplify continues to focus on enhancing asset value through operating efficiency, cost discipline, and the evaluation of carbon capture, utilization and sequestration (“CCUS”) opportunities. The Company believes Bairoil is well positioned for CCUS development given its reservoir characteristics, existing CO₂ infrastructure, and proximity to established CO₂ transportation corridors. Management continues to evaluate opportunities that could leverage these attributes to create incremental long-term value, extend the field life, and enhance future cash flow, while maintaining a disciplined and measured approach to capital investment.
Bairoil production during the first quarter of 2026 was impacted by compressor run time interruptions, which led to temporary production curtailments across the field. Compression operations have since been restored, and base production is expected to return to prior rates.
Notably, the downtime associated with these interruptions allowed the operations team to complete planned maintenance at the CO₂ gas plant that had originally been scheduled for mid-year. As a result, the Company will avoid a future planned shutdown, enabling continued operations and helping keep full year Bairoil production projections within guidance expectations.
Looking forward, Amplify remains focused on maximizing the long-term value of the Bairoil asset through continued operational optimization and the advancement of CCUS initiatives that have the potential to generate additional cash flow and strategic optionality. Management believes these efforts, combined with improving operational reliability, position Bairoil to play an increasingly important role in the Company’s long-term value creation strategy.
Revolving Credit Facility and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2026, Amplify had no debt outstanding under its revolving credit facility, with a current borrowing base of $25.0 million and elected commitments of $15.0 million. As of such date, Amplify’s liquidity was approximately $56.5 million, consisting of $41.5 million of cash on hand and available borrowing capacity of approximately $15.0 million.
The Company is currently in the process of completing its regularly scheduled semi-annual borrowing base redetermination, with results expected later in the month. Based on current expectations, Amplify does not anticipate any changes to the borrowing base as a result of this process.
Full-Year 2026 Guidance
The Company is reaffirming prior full-year 2026 guidance, as it expects production, cost, and capital to be in line with prior expectations. Based on higher commodity prices, Amplify expects adjusted EBITDA to be at the high end of the guidance range.
The following guidance is subject to the cautionary statements and limitations described under the "Forward-Looking Statements" caption at the end of this press release. Amplify's 2026 guidance is based on its current expectations regarding capital investment levels and flat commodity prices for crude oil of $65/Bbl (WTI) and on the assumption that market demand and prices for oil will continue at levels that allow for economic production of these products.
A summary of the guidance is presented below:

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures would require Amplify to predict the timing and likelihood of future transactions and other items that are difficult to accurately predict. Neither of these forward-looking measures, nor their probable significance, can be quantified with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures is not provided. | ||||||||
Hedging
Amplify maintains a robust hedge portfolio designed to support cash flows and provide downside protection in periods of commodity price volatility, further enhancing forward cash flow visibility. In the first quarter of 2026, Amplify executed WTI crude oil swaps covering portions of 2026 and 2027 at a weighted average price of $68.61/Bbl and Brent crude oil swaps covering portions of 2026 and 2027 at a weighted average price of $80.29/Bbl. In addition, the Company entered into (i) WTI costless collars covering portions of 2027 with weighted average floors of $65.00/Bbl and weighted average ceilings of $77.50/Bbl and (ii) Brent costless collars covering portions of 2027 with weighted average floors of $74.00/Bbl and weighted average ceilings of $83.35/Bbl.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Free Cash Flow and cash G&A. The accompanying schedules provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Amplify’s non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, net cash flows provided by operating activities, standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Amplify’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate such measures in the same manner as Amplify does.
Adjusted EBITDA. Amplify defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus Interest expense, net; Income tax expense (benefit); DD&A; Impairment expense; Accretion of AROs; Loss or (gain) on commodity derivative instruments; Cash settlements received or (paid) on expired commodity derivative instruments; Amortization of gain associated with terminated commodity derivatives; Losses or (gains) on sale of properties; Share-based compensation expenses; Exploration costs; Acquisition and divestiture related costs; Loss on settlement of AROs; Bad debt expense; Severance payments; Pipeline incident loss and other non-routine items that we deem appropriate. Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by management and external users of Amplify’s financial statements, such as investors, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (1) its operating performance as compared to other companies in Amplify’s industry without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis; (2) the ability of its assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest and support Amplify’s indebtedness; and (3) the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. Since Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies, the Adjusted EBITDA data presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA are net income and net cash provided by operating activities.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss). Amplify defines Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for unrealized loss (gain) on commodity derivative instruments, acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, impairment expense, unusual and infrequent items, and the income tax expense or benefit of these adjustments using our federal statutory tax rate. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excludes the impact of unusual and infrequent items affecting earnings that vary widely and unpredictably. This measure is not meant to disassociate these items from management's performance but rather is intended to provide helpful information to investors interested in comparing our performance between periods. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is not considered to be an alternative to net income (loss) reported in accordance with GAAP.
Free Cash Flow. Amplify defines Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash interest expense and capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow is an important non-GAAP financial measure for Amplify’s investors since it serves as an indicator of the Company’s success in providing a cash return on investment. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow are net income and net cash provided by operating activities.
Cash G&A. Amplify defines cash G&A as general and administrative expense, less share-based compensation expense; acquisition and divestiture costs; bad debt expense; severance payments; and other non-routine items that we deem appropriate. Cash G&A is an important non-GAAP financial measure for Amplify’s investors since it allows for analysis of G&A spend without regard to share-based compensation and other non-recurring expenses which can vary substantially from company to company. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to cash G&A is total G&A expense.
