Alvopetro Announces Q2 2026 Financial Results

CALGARY, AB, Aug. 5, 2026 /CNW/ -- Alvopetro Energy Ltd. (TSXV: ALV) (OTCQX: ALVOF) ("Alvopetro" or the "Company") announces an operational update, our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and details for our Q2 2026 earnings call. 

All references herein to $ refer to United States dollars, unless otherwise stated and all tabular amounts are in thousands of United States dollars, except as otherwise noted.

President & CEO, Corey C. Ruttan commented:

"We've continued to deliver strong results in 2026 with Q2 sales volumes of 3,067 boepd, driving revenues of $19.2 million with funds flow from operations of $14.1 million. With a realized natural gas price of $10.98/Mcf we posted an operating netback of $59.08/boe and an 86% operating netback margin. These margins and results highlight the quality of our asset base underpinning our balanced capital allocation model where we seek to reinvest roughly half our cash flows into organic growth opportunities and return the other half to stakeholders."

Operational Update

Development Activities

In June, we completed drilling the 183-D1 well on our 100% owned Murucututu natural gas field to a total measured depth ("MD") of 3,263 metres between our previously drilled 183-A3 and 183-D4 wells. Based on open-hole logs, the well encountered potential net natural gas pay in both the Caruaçu Member of the Maracangalha Formation and the Gomo Member of the Candeias Formation, with an aggregate 47.7 metres total vertical depth ("TVD") of potential natural gas pay. We have now completed the well in three intervals and expect to have the well on production later this month.

In July, we commenced drilling the 183-H2 well.  This well is targeting the prospective resource portion of the Caruaçu structure.  We are currently at a depth of 1,399 metres and expect drilling to be completed later this month.  Following this well, we plan to move the drilling rig to the 183-G2 location, the first Caruaçu development well from our newly constructed 183-G well pad. In the second half of 2026 we are also focused on expanding our field production facility and pipeline offtake capacity from the Murucututu field as well as enhancing our natural gas processing facility to accommodate increasing proportions of richer gas production from Murucututu.

July Sales Volumes

July sales volumes averaged 3,134 boepd (based on field estimates), including 2,995 boepd from Brazil (with natural gas sales of 16.8 MMcfpd, associated natural gas liquids from condensate of 185 bopd and oil sales of 8 bopd) and 139 bopd from oil sales in Canada.

Natural gas, NGLs and crude oil sales:	July 2026	June 2026	Q2 2026
Brazil:
Natural gas (Mcfpd), by field:
Caburé	13,216	11,846	12,040
Murucututu	3,592	4,110	4,278
Total natural gas (Mcfpd)	16,808	15,956	16,318
NGLs (bopd)	185	172	167
Oil (bopd)^(1)	8	3	8
Total (boepd) – Brazil	2,995	2,834	2,894
Canada:
Oil (bopd) – Canada	139	156	173
Total Company – boepd^(2)	3,134	2,990	3,067

(1)	Oil sales volumes in Brazil relate to the Bom Lugar and Mãe da lua fields. Alvopetro has entered into an assignment agreement to dispose of the fields, the closing of which is subject to standard regulatory approvals, including approval of the ANP.
(2)	Alvopetro reported volumes are based on sales volumes which, due to the timing of sales deliveries, may differ from production volumes.

Quarterly Natural Gas Pricing Update

As previously announced, effective August 1, 2026, our natural gas price under our long-term gas sales agreement was adjusted to BRL2.00/m³ on the first 400e³m³/d (14.1 MMcfpd) reference volumes ("QDC1") with the incremental 100 e³m³/d (3.5 MMcfpd) reference volumes ("QDC2") adjusted to BRL1.91/m^3. This represents increases of 5% and 19% respectively for QDC1 and QDC2 relative to the May 1, 2026 price reset.

Based on our average heat content to-date and the June 30, 2026 BRL/USD exchange rate of 5.18, our weighted average realized price (QDC1 + QDC2) on firm natural gas sales during the August 1, 2026 to October 31, 2026 period is expected to be $11.70/Mcf, 7% above our Q2 2026 realized price of $10.98/Mcf. Amounts ultimately received in equivalent USD will be impacted by exchange rates in effect during the relevant period.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures

This news release contains references to various non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios, capital management measures and supplementary financial measures as such terms are defined in National Instrument 52-112 Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure. Such measures are not recognized measures under GAAP and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. While these measures may be common in the oil and gas industry, the Company's use of these terms may not be comparable to similarly defined measures presented by other companies. The non-GAAP and other financial measures referred to in this news release should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than measures prescribed by IFRS and they are not meant to enhance the Company's reported financial performance or position. These are complementary measures that are used by management in assessing the Company's financial performance, efficiency and liquidity and they may be used by investors or other users of this document for the same purpose. Below is a description of the non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP ratios, capital management measures and supplementary financial measures used in this news release. For more information with respect to financial measures which have not been defined by GAAP, including reconciliations to the closest comparable GAAP measure, see the "Non-GAAP Measures and Other Financial Measures" section of the Company's MD&A which may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Operating Netback

Operating netback is calculated as natural gas, oil and condensate revenues less royalties, production expenses, and transportation expenses. This calculation is provided in the "Operating Netback" section of the Company's MD&A using our IFRS measures. The Company's MD&A may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca. Operating netback is a common metric used in the oil and gas industry used to demonstrate profitability from operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Ratios

Operating Netback per boe

Operating netback is calculated on a per unit basis, which is per barrel of oil equivalent ("boe"). It is a common non-GAAP measure used in the oil and gas industry and management believes this measurement assists in evaluating the operating performance of the Company. It is a measure of the economic quality of the Company's producing assets and is useful for evaluating variable costs as it provides a reliable measure regardless of fluctuations in production. Alvopetro calculated operating netback per boe as operating netback divided by total sales volumes (boe). This calculation is provided in the "Operating Netback" section of the Company's MD&A using our IFRS measures. The Company's MD&A may be accessed through the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca.

Operating Netback Margin

Operating netback margin is a non-GAAP ratio calculated as operating netback per boe divided by the realized sales price per boe. Operating netback margin is a measure of the profitability per boe relative to natural gas, oil and condensate sales revenues per boe and is calculated as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2026	2025	2026	2025
Operating netback - $ per boe	59.08	54.72	55.58	52.74
Average realized price - $ per boe	68.72	63.20	65.23	63.43
Operating netback margin	86 %	87 %	85 %	83 %

Funds Flow from Operations Per Share and Cash Flows from Operating Activities Per Share

Funds flow from operations per share is a non-GAAP ratio that includes all cash generated from operating activities calculated before changes in non-cash working capital, divided by the weighted average shares outstanding for the respective period. Cash flows from operating activities per share is a supplementary financial measure computed as cash flows from operating activities divided by the weighted average shares outstanding for the respective period. For the periods reported in this news release the cash flows from operating activities per share and funds flow from operations per share are as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
$ per share	2026	2025	2026	2025
Per basic share:
Cash flows from operating activities	0.37	0.28	0.66	0.52
Funds flow from operations	0.37	0.28	0.71	0.53
Per diluted share:
Cash flows from operating activities	0.36	0.28	0.65	0.51
Funds flow from operations	0.37	0.27	0.70	0.52

Capital Management Measures

Funds Flow from Operations 

The most comparable GAAP measure to funds flow from operations is cash flows from operating activities. Management considers funds flow from operations important as it helps evaluate financial performance and demonstrates the Company's ability to generate sufficient cash to fund future growth opportunities. Funds flow from operations should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, cash flows from operating activities however management finds that the impact of working capital items on the cash flows reduces the comparability of the metric from period to period. A reconciliation of funds flow from operations to cash flows from operating activities is as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2026	2025	2026	2025
Cash flows from operating activities	13,919	10,473	24,636	19,290
Changes in non-cash working capital	179	(107)	1,967	298
Funds flow from operations	14,098	10,366	26,603	19,588

Working Capital

Working capital is computed as current assets less current liabilities. Working capital is a measure of liquidity, is used to evaluate financial resources, and is calculated as follows: 

		As at June 30,
		2026	2025
Total current assets		44,059	22,915
Total current liabilities		(29,926)	(16,077)
Working capital		14,133	6,838

Working Capital, Net of Debt

Working capital net of debt is computed as working capital decreased by the non-current portion of the loan. Working capital net of debt is used by management to assess the Company's overall financial position. As of June 30, 2026, Alvopetro's working capital exceeds the non-current balance outstanding on the loan.

		As at June 30
		2026	2025
Working capital		14,133	6,838
Loan, non-current		(8,000)	-
Working capital, net of debt		6,133	6,838

Supplementary Financial Measures

"Average realized natural gas price - $/Mcf" is comprised of natural gas sales as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Company's natural gas sales volumes.

"Average realized NGL – condensate price - $/bbl" is comprised of condensate sales as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Company's NGL sales volumes from condensate.

"Average realized oil price - $/bbl" is comprised of oil sales as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Company's oil sales volumes.

"Average realized price - $/boe" is comprised of natural gas, condensate and oil sales as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Company's total natural gas, NGL and oil sales volumes (barrels of oil equivalent).

"Dividends per share" is comprised of dividends declared, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the number of shares outstanding at the dividend record date.

"Royalties per boe" is comprised of royalties, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the total natural gas, NGL and oil sales volumes (barrels of oil equivalent).

"Production expenses per boe" is comprised of production expenses, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the total natural gas, NGL and oil sales volumes (barrels of oil equivalent).

"Transportation expenses per boe" is comprised of transportation expenses, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the total natural gas, NGL and oil sales volumes (barrels of oil equivalent).

BOE Disclosure

The term barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel (6 Mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All boe conversions in this news release are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio mix of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil.

Contracted Natural Gas Volumes

The contracted daily firm volumes under Alvopetro's long-term gas sales agreement of 500 e³m³/d (before any provisions for take or pay allowances) represents contracted volumes based on contract referenced natural gas heating value. Alvopetro's reported natural gas sales volumes are prior to any adjustments for heating value of Alvopetro natural gas. Alvopetro's natural gas is approximately 8% higher than the contract reference heating value. Therefore, to satisfy the contractual firm deliveries Alvopetro would be required to deliver approximately 463e³m³/d (16.4MMcfpd).

Well Results

Data obtained from the 183-D1 well identified in this press release, including potential net pay should be considered preliminary. There is no representation by Alvopetro that the data relating to the 183-D1 well contained in this press release is necessarily indicative of long-term performance or ultimate recovery. The reader is cautioned not to unduly rely on such data as such data may not be indicative of future performance of the well or of expected production or operational results for Alvopetro in the future.
