Matador Resources Company Provides Strategic Natural Gas Marketing UpdateJune 4, 2026 6:30 AM
Business Wire Matador Resources Company (NYSE: MTDR) (“Matador”) today announced that it has entered into multiple agreements with affiliates of Energy Transfer LP (“ET”), including a gas supply agreement. This transaction is an additional step taken by Matador’s marketing team to improve all-in pricing netbacks and reduce exposure to Waha Hub pricing in the second half of 2026. In addition to this gas supply agreement, Matador has executed separate natural gas liquid (“NGL”) agreements with various ET affiliates to dedicate and sell Matador’s NGLs from multiple sources in the Delaware Basin to ET. On October 30, 2025, Matador announced that it had secured firm transportation on Energy Transfer’s Hugh Brinson Pipeline to move 500,000 MMBtu per day of natural gas production out of the Permian Basin to points of sale where demand and pricing have historically been significantly higher than at the Waha Hub. We expect the new gas supply agreement with ET announced today will allow Matador to bridge the gap prior to Matador’s transportation agreement on the Hugh Brinson Pipeline becoming effective and realize higher natural gas prices for a portion of its natural gas production in the second half of 2026. This agreement is also expected to provide ET with natural gas to feed the growing demand from artificial intelligence (AI) driven data centers and power generation markets. Joseph Wm. Foran, Matador’s Founder, Chairman and CEO, commented, “We are excited for the opportunity to continue our working relationship with Energy Transfer. We want to thank the entire Energy Transfer team for their cooperation on this transaction. Matador looks forward to the Hugh Brinson Pipeline being placed into service, and we anticipate that this transaction is expected to increase the price that Matador realizes for its natural gas production until then. We are proud of our marketing team for working with Energy Transfer to find new and creative solutions to increase flow assurance and secure better pricing for Matador’s natural gas.” For more information about the Hugh Brinson Pipeline and a map of the pipeline system, visit www.hughbrinsonpipeline.com.

Matador Resources Company Announces Successful Acquisitions in Federal Lease SaleMay 21, 2026 4:40 PM
Business Wire Matador Resources Company (NYSE: MTDR) (“Matador” or the “Company”) announces the successful bolt-on acquisition of 5,154 net undeveloped acres in the core of the Delaware Basin as part of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Oil and Gas Lease Sale this week. Joseph Wm. Foran, Matador’s Founder, Chairman and CEO, commented, “Matador is pleased to announce a $1.1 billion expansion of its premier Delaware Basin asset base in Southeast New Mexico through the recent BLM Lease Sale. The company acquired 5,154 net undeveloped acres, all of which are in the ‘core-of-the-core’ of the Delaware Basin and are strategic and highly complementary to Matador’s current acreage position. This acquisition not only extends the amount and the duration of Matador’s high-quality inventory and reserve base but also enhances the Company’s current assets with increased operating efficiencies. These lease acquisitions lend themselves to extended reach laterals of three miles or more, leveraging of existing facilities and infrastructure with Matador’s existing field teams, and increased midstream value from potential future volume additions in the Delaware Basin. HIGHLIGHTS Prime Location: Acquired acreage located in most prolific areas of Delaware Basin, with nine or more discrete prospective formations Strategic Alignment to Current Asset Base: Acreage directly adjacent to existing operated units, enabling further operating efficiencies in already established cost-advantaged operating areas with current completed cost per lateral foot averages 10-20% below Matador’s corporate average Improved Economics and Lease Terms: 87.5% net revenue interest with 10-year term across all depths San Mateo Connectivity: Key tracts and associated wells and volumes strategically located near existing infrastructure expected to be additive to San Mateo’s volume throughput and growing revenue streams Locations and Efficiencies: Adds over 141 net operated locations (normalized to 2-mile laterals), including extended reach laterals, U-Turn well designs, multi-well developments and completions, emerging horizons and targets, with opportunities for enhanced water recycling processes and natural gas takeaway capacity Maintenance of Strong Balance Sheet: Purchase price of approximately $1.143 billion implies approximately $7.3 million per location after accounting for anticipated midstream value and is expected to be funded through cash on hand and existing credit facility Mr. Foran further commented, “We believe our proven track record of value creation over the years de-risks this transaction as evidenced by our 2018 acquisition of the State line and Rodney Robinson Federal tracts. To date, Matador has already recovered all associated capital invested in lease acquisitions, drilling, and completions associated with those tracts, as well as generating an additional $1.9 billion in returns from these projects. We have full confidence that our reservoir, geology, midstream, and operating teams will maximize the value of these new tracts in a similar manner. “Matador has fully repaid its reserve-based lending (RBL) facility, providing ample liquidity for this transaction. Furthermore, under our current operating plan, we anticipate full-year 2026 adjusted free cash flow to approach $1.2 billion (assuming strip oil and natural gas pricing as of early May 2026). This strong cash generation gives us clear line of sight to substantially pay down this acquisition by year-end 2026 and to fully pay down the RBL in the first half of 2027. “We would like to thank our shareholders, bondholders, directors, banks, and staff here in Dallas and the field for their continued support and recognition of Matador’s asset quality, cash flow and our expectations for another record year for the Company. We hope to see you at our Annual Meeting on June 11, 2026, here in Dallas where we will have more operational and financial news to share.” About Matador Resources Company Matador is an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development, production and acquisition of oil and natural gas resources in the United States, with an emphasis on oil and natural gas shale and other unconventional plays.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Adjusted Free Cash Flow This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted free cash flow. This non-GAAP item is measured, on a consolidated basis for the Company and for San Mateo, as net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for changes in working capital and cash performance incentives that are not included as operating cash flows, less cash flows used for capital expenditures, adjusted for changes in capital accruals. On a consolidated basis, these numbers are also adjusted for the cash flows related to non-controlling interest in subsidiaries that represent cash flows not attributable to Matador shareholders. Adjusted free cash flow should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or an indicator of the Company’s liquidity. Adjusted free cash flow is used by the Company, securities analysts and investors as an indicator of the Company’s ability to manage its operating cash flow, internally fund its D/C/E capital expenditures, pay dividends and service or incur additional debt, without regard to the timing of settlement of either operating assets and liabilities or accounts payable related to capital expenditures. Additionally, this non-GAAP financial measure may be different than similar measures used by other companies. The Company believes the presentation of adjusted free cash flow provides useful information to investors, as it provides them an additional relevant comparison of the Company’s performance, sources and uses of capital associated with its operations across periods and to the performance of the Company’s peers. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure reflects adjustments for items of cash flows that are often excluded by securities analysts and other users of the Company’s financial statements in evaluating the Company’s cash spend. Where references are pro forma, forward-looking, preliminary or prospective in nature, and not based on historical fact, a reconciliation has not been provided. The Company could not provide such reconciliation without undue hardship because such Adjusted Fre Cash Flow numbers are estimations, approximations and/or ranges. In addition, it would be difficult for the Company to present a detailed reconciliation on account of many unknown variables for the reconciling items, including net change in operating assets and liabilities and net change in capital accruals.

Matador Resources Company Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results and Provides 2026 Operating Plan and Market GuidanceFebruary 24, 2026 4:15 PM
Business Wire
Matador Resources Company (NYSE: MTDR) (“Matador” or the “Company”) today reported financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 and provided an update on its 2026 operating plan and focus areas. A slide presentation summarizing the highlights of this release is included on the Company’s website at www.matadorresources.com on the Events and Presentations page under the Investor Relations tab.
Management Summary Comments
Joseph Wm. Foran, Matador’s Founder, Chairman and CEO and San Mateo’s Founder, noted, “2025 was another record year for Matador and San Mateo. Our team is excited to review our accomplishments as well as share the strategic priorities and expected catalysts for Matador and San Mateo in 2026, which include (i) improving capital efficiency, profitability and reduction in our reserve-based loan (RBL), (ii) midstream value realization, (iii) quality land acquisitions, reserves growth and decreased capital costs, (iv) recruiting, retaining and developing high-quality professionals and (v) maintaining a strong balance sheet.
Improving Capital Efficiency, Profitability and Decreased Finding Costs
“This year, our specific objectives are to continue to increase production, reduce capital spending and grow our midstream assets, while remaining opportunistic on acquisition opportunities that may arise. Altogether, Matador projects its drilling plans, capital efficiencies and other catalysts to drive a 2026 operating plan that grows oil production by approximately 3% to 123,000 barrels of oil per day, while reducing 2026 total capital expenditures by 11% to $1.50 billion. The ability to achieve this 3% oil production growth profile while reducing capital expenses illustrates Matador’s successful focus on operating efficiencies and inventory strength.
“In this regard, Matador anticipates its 2026 drilling and completion cost to be approximately $795 per lateral foot, a 6% reduction compared to 2025, which would enable us to continue to further increase capital efficiency and decrease capital spending as planned. The expected decrease in capital spending from 2025 to 2026 is primarily attributable to anticipated operating efficiency improvements, including a 13% reduction in timing to drill and complete a well. Meanwhile, Matador expects to deliver 3% oil production growth in 2026 compared to 2025 while still turning to sales a similar amount of net lateral footage. As evidence of these asset and operating strengths, we achieved record total proved oil and natural gas reserves of 667.0 million BOE at December 31, 2025 (an increase of 9% from 611.5 million BOE at December 31, 2024), with a standardized measure of $7.0 billion and a PV-10 of $8.2 billion. The increase to our reserves—approximately 98% of which was organic in 2025—represents a reserve replacement ratio of 173%. The reserves replacement ratio was especially notable since future finding and development costs for our proved undeveloped reserves in our audited reserve report decreased 6% from $10.98 per BOE in 2024 to $10.34 per BOE in 2025. The proved reserves estimates are prepared by the Company’s internal engineering staff and audited by an independent reservoir engineering firm, Netherland, Sewell & Associates.
“As previously reported, Matador has secured 500 MMBtu per day of firm natural gas transportation on Energy Transfer’s new Hugh Brinson pipeline. This contractual deal with Energy Transfer is expected to be one of Matador’s most important transportation and marketing arrangements going forward. Energy Transfer expects this pipeline to begin flowing gas in the third quarter of 2026 and be fully in-service in the fourth quarter of 2026. The Hugh Brinson pipeline is expected to provide direct access for Matador from the Waha hub in the Permian Basin to the historically more profitable Henry Hub markets along the Louisiana Gulf Coast. The Hugh Brinson pipeline is also expected to help Matador access other key markets, including data centers supporting Artificial Intelligence (AI) and terminals for exports of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG). During 2025, average realized pricing at Henry Hub was as much as $3 higher than realized pricing at the Waha hub. Substantial market differentials such as these prices could provide significant additional revenue, as each $0.50 per MMBtu increase in realized natural gas price would increase Matador’s estimated annual revenue by approximately $90 million.
“Matador is also pleased to report record fourth quarter 2025 production of 211,290 barrels of oil and natural equivalent (BOE) per day (121,363 barrels of oil per day), which constitutes an increase of 1% from the third quarter 2025 production of 209,184 BOE per day (119,556 barrels of oil per day). These record results were achieved despite significant market price difficulties for natural gas at the Waha hub in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Midstream Value Realization
“Matador’s midstream assets include (i) San Mateo, which is owned 51% by Matador and 49% by Five Point, and (ii) wholly-owned assets, which were largely acquired as part of the Advance acquisition in 2023 and the Ameredev acquisition in 2024. On a combined basis, San Mateo and Matador’s wholly-owned midstream assets had net income of $239 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $332 million for the full-year 2025. Through the continued operational improvements and the growth of both Matador and third-party volumes, we expect the combined Adjusted EBITDA of our midstream assets to grow 8% to $360 million in 2026. This profitability of the San Mateo assets in 2025 resulted in cash distributions to Matador of $137 million for its 51% interest in San Mateo and $13 million in performance incentives from Five Point.
“In addition to growing our midstream business, we continue to explore other strategic transactions for San Mateo. Five Point has advised us that it is in the process of moving its 49% ownership in San Mateo into a continuation vehicle, which would allow us to continue building midstream value together. We are pleased that Five Point would like to continue our long-standing partnership, and we look forward to working with Five Point on various potential strategic transactions, including the combination of Matador’s wholly-owned midstream assets with San Mateo.
Quality Land Acquisitions
“In 2025, Matador’s land team added 17,500 net acres through our ‘brick-by-brick’ strategy, increasing our Delaware Basin acreage position to approximately 212,500 net acres. These efforts largely replaced the inventory that Matador drilled during 2025. As we begin 2026, Matador remains focused on strategically adding acreage in order to maintain 10 to 15 years of high-quality inventory in the Delaware Basin. Additionally, we believe our current Delaware Basin position offers further geologic upside. For example, we have identified prospective acreage targeting the Woodford shale, and plan to test the formation in the first half of 2026.
Maintaining a Strong Balance Sheet
“Finally, at year-end 2025, Matador was able to maintain a strong financial position and achieve the production highlights noted above while still paying down approximately $200 million on our RBL credit facility and increasing our dividend for the seventh time in the past four years. Matador ended 2025 with a leverage ratio of 1.1 times and liquidity under the RBL of $1.8 billion. To further protect its balance sheet from oil-price volatility, the Company hedged approximately 50% of its projected 2026 oil production using costless collars at a weighted average floor price of approximately $53 per barrel and a weighted average ceiling price of approximately $66 per barrel.
Closing Thoughts
“Each of the above priorities and highlights demonstrate Matador’s various successful strategies based on operational excellence and profitable growth at a measured pace. Our ability to emerge stronger through volatile commodity cycles underscores the quality of our assets, the strength of our business relationships and the confidence the team has in the long-term outlook of our business and areas of interest. This outlook is further evidenced by management’s and the staff’s continued stock purchases as well as the participation by over 95% of all of our employees—field and office—in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). We look forward to discussing these results and answering your questions either on our conference call or in-person.”
Operational and Financial Update
Record Fourth Quarter 2025 Oil, Natural Gas and Total Oil Equivalent Production
Matador’s average oil and natural gas production was 211,290 BOE per day in the fourth quarter of 2025, which was the highest in Matador’s history and 2% better than the midpoint of Matador’s expected fourth quarter production guidance of 206,500 BOE per day. The primary drivers behind this outperformance were increased production from new wells turned to sales in Matador’s Arrowhead and Ranger asset areas. Matador achieved these record results despite shutting in ~4,000 BOE per day in the fourth quarter of 2025 due to weak natural gas pricing at the Waha hub. Most of these shut-in volumes were forecasted as part of the Company’s fourth quarter 2025 production guidance.

Matador Resources Increases Hedge Position and Provides Updates on 2025 A&D Activity and Improved Well PerformanceJanuary 27, 2026 11:30 AM
Business Wire
Matador Resources Company (NYSE: MTDR) (“Matador”) today provided an update on its hedging position, its 2025 A&D activity and certain Lea County, New Mexico development results. Together, these updates reflect Matador’s disciplined and opportunistic approach to the management of commodity price volatility, growth of its Delaware Basin portfolio and execution on operational efficiencies that continue to improve well performance.
Hedging Update – Opportunistic Additions
Matador opportunistically added hedges during recent commodity price increases and has now hedged approximately 35% to 40% of its 2026 oil production with costless collars at a weighted average floor price of $51.72 per barrel and a weighted average ceiling price of $65.05 per barrel. Consistent with its disciplined, value-driven approach, Matador’s hedging program is designed to provide downside protection and greater cash flow visibility while preserving meaningful exposure to stronger commodity prices. These additional hedges are expected to add to the protection of Matador’s balance sheet and postion it to return value to its shareholders at a wide range of commodity prices.
2025 A&D Update – “Brick-by-Brick” Approach Continues to Deliver
In 2025, Matador continued its long-standing “brick-by-brick” acquisition strategy, adding high-quality acreage throughout its core asset areas in the Delaware Basin. Matador completed over 690 separate transactions for approximately 17,500 net acres in acquisitions in 2025, bringing Matador’s Delaware Basin acreage total to 212,500 net acres as of December 31, 2025.
The total consideration for these acquisitions was approximately $245 million, or $14,000 per net acre, excluding capitalized general and administrative expenses. Many of these transactions involved the addition of interests in Matador-operated units that were drilled in 2025 or that are planned to be drilled in 2026. These acquisitions enhanced the immediate value of the assets and further improved the economics on the wells drilled at these locations.
Notably, Matador’s “brick-by-brick” approach resulted in the addition of 100 net locations in 2025, along with 23 upside locations, essentially replacing the locations drilled by Matador in 2025.
Improved Well Performance and Increased Efficiencies in Lea County Development
In 2025, Matador also continued to realize improved well performance and cost efficiencies through large-scale batch developments. For example, during the second half of 2025, Matador turned-to-sales a 17-well batch development—one of the largest developments in Matador’s history—on its John Callahan unit in Matador’s Antelope Ridge asset area in Lea County, New Mexico targeting multiple horizons in the Bone Springs and Wolfcamp formations. Early production results for this project show recoveries approximately 8% higher than Matador’s company-wide average normalized oil production for wells turned-to-sales in 2024 and 2025. These better-than-expected results are primarily attributable to improved well targeting, completion design and chemical optimization. Average lateral lengths of 10,300 feet, combined with full trimul-frac and simul-frac completion operations, reduced total well cost by 10% compared to Matador’s 2024 Lea County, New Mexico averages, further strengthening well economics even in stressed commodity environments. The John Callahan unit also reflects the benefits of Matador’s “brick-by-brick” land strategy discussed above, as Matador incrementally increased its working interest through the acquisition of additional interests in the unit, enhancing overall returns from the development.
