Management Commentary
"Our second quarter results yet again demonstrated strong operational performance while highlighting the strategic advantages of our diversified Appalachian platform. Our net production for the quarter averaged 33.1 Mboe/d, representing a 25% increase from the first quarter of this year," said Zack Arnold, President & CEO of Infinity. "Our production growth was primarily driven by our Marcellus natural gas development in Pennsylvania. We brought five natural gas wells online at the end of March ahead of schedule and on budget. In addition, we brought online one oil-weighted well from our Rubel Dodd pad in Guernsey County, Ohio in May. Our team continues to execute our 2025 plan. Our disciplined approach to capital allocation and operational excellence has positioned us well for continued growth in 2025 and beyond."
"What distinguishes Infinity Natural Resources is our proven operational flexibility across our oil and natural gas assets within Appalachia. The second quarter exemplified this advantage, as we elected to accelerate our next natural gas project while maintaining steady progress on our high-quality Ohio oil development in the Utica Shale's volatile oil window. Our unique asset composition provides us with the agility to adjust development timing and weighting as market conditions evolve — a key competitive advantage that we successfully displayed yet again this quarter."
"Looking beyond the second quarter, our overall 2025 development plan remains on track from what we originally outlined earlier this year. We successfully brought online a natural gas project in July, and recently commenced drilling on another natural gas project that we elected to pull forward. With our clean balance sheet featuring minimal net debt and substantial liquidity, we remain well-positioned to pursue accretive growth opportunities as market conditions evolve," concluded Mr. Arnold.
Operational Update
Infinity's net daily production for the second quarter of 2025 averaged 33.1 MBoe/d, consisting of 19.5 MBoe/d in Ohio and 13.6 MBoe/d in Pennsylvania. Infinity's net daily production mix was comprised of approximately 19% oil, 18% NGLs and 63% natural gas. We turned into sales one gross oil-weighted well (0.9 net) during the second quarter in May in the Utica Shale in Ohio. Subsequent to quarter-end, we turned into sales two additional gross oil-weighted wells (1.9 net) in the Utica Shale and four gross natural gas-weighted wells (3.3 net) in the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania in July.
The following table sets forth information regarding our production, revenues and realized prices and production costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains statements that express the Company's opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results, in contrast with statements that reflect historical facts. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this release regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management, future commodity prices, future production targets, leverage targets or debt repayment, future capital spending plans, capital efficiency, expected drilling and completions plans and projected well costs are forward-looking statements. When used in this release, words such as 'may,' 'assume,' 'forecast,' 'could,' 'should,' 'will,' 'plan,' 'believe,' 'anticipate,' 'intend,' 'estimate,' 'expect,' 'project,' 'budget' and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events at the time such statement was made.
Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including those incident to the development, production, gathering and sale of oil, natural gas and NGLs, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. These include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility; inflation; lack of availability and cost of drilling, completion and production equipment and services; supply chain disruption; project construction delays; environmental risks; drilling, completion and other operating risks; lack of availability or capacity of midstream gathering and transportation infrastructure; regulatory changes; the uncertainty inherent in estimating reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital; the timing of development expenditures; the concentration of the Company's operations in the Appalachian Basin; difficult and adverse conditions in the domestic and global capital and credit markets; impacts of geopolitical events and world health events, including trade wars; lack of transportation and storage capacity as a result of oversupply, government regulations or other factors; potential financial losses or earnings reductions resulting from the Company's commodity price risk management program or any inability to manage its commodity risks; failure to realize expected value creation from property acquisitions and trades; weather related risks; competition in the oil and natural gas industry; loss of production and leasehold rights due to mechanical failure or depletion of wells and the Company's inability to re-establish production; the Company's ability to service its indebtedness; political and economic conditions and events in foreign oil and natural gas producing countries, including embargoes, continued hostilities in the Middle East and other sustained military campaigns, the armed conflict in Ukraine and associated economic sanctions on Russia, conditions in South America, Central America, China and Russia, and acts of terrorism or sabotage; evolving cybersecurity risks such as those involving unauthorized access, denial-of-service attacks, malicious software, data privacy breaches by employees, insiders or others with authorized access, cyber or phishing-attacks, ransomware, social engineering, physical breaches or other actions; risks related to the Company's ability to expand its business, including through the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel; and the other risks described in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC'), including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K.
Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of hydrocarbons that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimates depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any future production and development program. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.
Please read the Company's filings with the SEC, including 'Risk Factors' in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in other filings we make with the SEC in the future, for a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those in such forward-looking statements. As a result, actual outcomes and results could materially differ from what is expressed, implied to forecast in such statements. Therefore, these forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of our performance, and you should not place undue reliance on such statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ('GAAP'), our earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures as described below.
Adjusted EBITDAX
We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) plus interest, net, income tax expense, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, unrealized loss (gain) on derivative instruments, net cash settlements received (paid) on derivatives, non-cash compensation expense and non-recurring transaction expenses. We believe Adjusted EBITDAX is useful because it makes for an easier comparison of our operating performance, without regard to our financing methods, corporate form or capital structure. We determined our adjustments from net income (loss) to arrive at Adjusted EBITDAX to reflect the substantial variance in practice from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered more meaningful than or as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax burden, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDAX. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDAX should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDAX may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDAX Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDAX divided by total production.
The following table provides a reconciliation of our net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDAX for the periods presented herein:
