All financial amounts in this news release and in the Company's financial disclosures are in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated.Gabriel de Alba, Chairman of the Board of Directors, commented:"During the first quarter, Frontera delivered solid infrastructure results while taking decisive steps to advance the Company's strategic repositioning. Frontera remains firmly committed to disciplined execution, prudent oversight of capital, emphasizing operational excellence, and maintaining a strong balance sheet.Frontera achieved an important milestone with shareholder approval of the plan of arrangement and return of capital, related to the sale of its Colombian E&P asset to Parex Resources. Subject to closing, the Company expects to return up to $470 million to shareholders, representing a substantial return of capital. The Company is retaining approximately $50 million of cash to support the growth opportunities of its high-quality infrastructure business, including the LNG regasification project with Ecopetrol. The standalone and refocused Frontera infrastructure business, anchored by its ownership in ODL and Puerto Bahia, generates stable long-term cash flows and provides multiple near-term growth catalysts that support long-term shareholder value creation. In total, this strategy will have unlocked approximately $1.3 billion of capital for investors."Orlando Cabrales, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Frontera, commented:"In the first quarter of 2026, Frontera delivered solid infrastructure performance, supported by contributions from Puerto Bahía and our equity interest in ODL, which generated an Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter of $28.5 million. Additionally, Frontera expects to receive, proportional to the Company's 35% equity interest in ODL, approximately $65 million in dividends in 2026. At Puerto Bahía, we continue to advance our key growth initiatives, supporting the long-term development of Frontera's infrastructure platform. During the first quarter, our container business delivered solid operational performance, handling 3,851 TEUs. We also achieved meaningful progress across our energy infrastructure projects, including reaching a key milestone in the LPG project with the successful commencement of initial operations in March 2026, which gives us the capacity to handle up to 10,000 tons per month. We continue making solid progress with the firm goal of becoming fully operational during the first quarter of 2028. In parallel, we continue to advance the LNG regasification project in partnership with Ecopetrol and support the long-term reliability of Colombia's energy supply. Looking ahead, we expect these initiatives to contribute to the continued growth and diversification, enhancing cash flow resilience over time.In our E&P business, we remain focused on maintaining safe and stable operations while advancing toward the expected closing of the Parex transaction, which is anticipated to be completed in May 2026."First Quarter 2026 Operational and Financial Summary*:

First Quarter 2026 Operational and Financial Results:During the first quarter of 2026, the Company reported net income from continuing operations, attributable to equity holders of the Company, of $13.1 million mainly resulting from an income from operations of $13.5 million and foreign exchange income of $6.8 million partially offset by finance expenses of $5.7 million and other loss of $2.5 million. This compares with net income from continuing operations, attributable to equity holders of the Company, in the first quarter of 2025, of $11.8 million, which included mainly an income from operations of $14.4 million and foreign exchange income of $2.5 million partially offset by finance expenses of $3.2 million and other loss of $2.4 million.Total revenues and other income for the first quarter were $26.8 million, compared with $26.9 million in the prior quarter and $25.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. Revenues during the quarter were mainly driven by a strong performance in Puerto Bahia, where the general cargo experienced a significant growth in handled volumes in roll-on/roll-off ("RORO") units and container, while operations at the Oleoducto de los Llanos ("ODL") remained strong.Port revenues were $12.7 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with $12.8 million in the prior quarter and $10.0 million in the first quarter of 2025.General cargo handled at the Port Facility during the first quarter of 2026 comprised 38,067 units of RORO, break bulk volumes of 25,216 tons/m³ and container of 3,851 TEUs, compared with 38,727 units, 15,406 tons/m³ and 6,436 TEUs in the prior quarter, respectively, and 18,223 units, 41,198 tons/m³ and 1,256 TEUs in the first quarter of 2025, respectively.Liquid volumes handled in the Port Facility during the first quarter of 2026 were 36,937 bbl/d, compared with 40,548 bbl/d in the prior quarter and 51,579 bbl/d in the first quarter of 2025. In the first quarter the decline was mainly due to lower third-party liquid volumes, reflecting reduced throughput from key customers and the absence of certain trading flows. Share of income from ODL Pipeline Investment was $14.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with $14.1 million in the prior quarter and $15.1 million in the first quarter of 2025, the result for the quarter was driven by higher depreciation and amortization expense and operating costs.ODL volumes transported were 233,875 bbl/d in the first quarter of 2026, compared with 241,734 bbl/d in the prior quarter, and 236,387 bbl/d in the first quarter of 2025.Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2026 was $28.5 million, compared with $27.7 million in the prior quarter and $27.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA was driven by higher revenues during the quarter partially offset by higher operating costs.ODL declared net dividends to Frontera of $64.7 million for 2026 compared to $52.9 million in 2025, of which Frontera expects to receive distributions during 2026 comprising approximately 40% in the second quarter, 35% in the third quarter, and the remaining 25% in the fourth quarter.Last twelve-months ("LTM") Infrastructure distributable cash flow ended March 31, 2026 was $51.1 million, compared with $76.7 million for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2025 and $103.0 million for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2025. These differences are driven by the timing of ODL distribution payments between periods, which impacts LTM calculations, rather than by changes in underlying operating performance. Capital distributions paid or declared over the period remained relatively stable, totaling $60.4?million in 2024, $61.5?million in 2025 and $64.7?million in 2026. For comparison purposes, an estimated LTM distributable cash flow for the period ending on April 30, 2026 was $71.3 million.Capital expenditures were $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with $2.0 million in the prior quarter and $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. During the first quarter of 2026, investments made in Puerto Bahia, including: (i) $0.4 million in major tank maintenance, (ii) $0.3 million in investment towards the LPG project, and (iii) general expenditures related to the cargo terminal facilities.Long-term debt at the end of the first quarter totaled $167.8 million and is expected to decline to approximately $131 million, primarily as a result of scheduled amortizations and cash sweep mechanisms during 2026. From May 2025 through December 2026, long-term debt is expected to be reduced by over $100 million, reflecting the strength of ODL's cash generation.Puerto BahiaPuerto Bahia is a multi-purpose maritime terminal (the "Port Facility") located in Cartagena, Colombia, which consists of a hydrocarbons terminal and a general cargo terminal adjacent to the Bocachica access channel in the Cartagena Bay. It is strategically located near the Cartagena refinery operated by Reficar. The Port Facility has a total area of 150 hectares. Puerto Bahia's income from operations is mainly generated from service contracts in the liquids terminal, which has a nominal capacity of 2,672,000 barrels, and from RORO, break bulk and containers services in the general cargo terminal. Frontera owns a 99.97% equity interest in Puerto Bahía.Revenues from the Port Facility for the first quarter 2026 were $12.7 million driven by strong performance in the dry port, which experienced significant growth in handled volumes in RORO units and containers, partially offset by lower volumes from others, reflecting reduced throughput from certain key custumers.

For the first quarter 2026, port operating cost was $7.6 million, compared with $5.0 for the same period of 2025. The increase was mainly due to increased port infrastructure maintenance activities in the liquids port and higher operated volumes in the general cargo facilities due to the increased number of handled volumes in RORO units and container units.

These financial measures do not replace or supersede any standardized measure under IFRS. Other companies in the Company's industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.The Company discloses these financial measures, together with measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, because management believes they provide useful information to investors and shareholders, as management uses them to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. These financial measures highlight trends in the Company's core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Further, management also uses non-IFRS measures to exclude the impact of certain expenses and income that management does not believe reflect the Company's underlying operating performance. The Company's management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and to prepare annual operating budgets and as a measure of the Company's ability to finance its ongoing operations and obligations.Set forth below is a description of the non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS ratios, supplementary financial measures and capital management measures used in this news release.ODL (100%) Income Statement Summary

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $230.5 million, including $185.4 million attributable to discontinued operations. Leasing balances totaled $19.9 million, including $18.3 million attributable to discontinued operations.(2) Supplementary financial measure.Net Sales - Discontinued OperationsNet sales from Colombia discontinued operations is a non-IFRS financial measure that adjusts revenue to include realized gains and losses from oil risk management contracts while removing the cost of any volumes purchased from third parties. This is a useful indicator for management, as the Company hedges a portion of its oil production using derivative instruments to manage exposure to oil price volatility. This metric allows the Company to report its realized net sales after factoring in these oil risk management activities. The deduction of cost of diluent and oil purchased is helpful to understand the Company's sales from Colombia discontinued operations performance based on the net realized proceeds from its own production, the cost of which is partially recovered when the blended product is sold. Refer to the reconciliation in the "Sales from Discontinued Operations - Colombia" section on page 12 of the MD&A.Operating Netback - Discontinued OperationsOperating netback from Colombia discontinued operations is a non-IFRS financial measure and operating netback from Colombia discontinued operations per boe is a non-IFRS ratio. Operating netback from discontinued operations per boe is used to assess the net margin of the Company's production Colombia after subtracting all costs associated with bringing one barrel of oil to the market. It is also commonly used by the oil and gas industry to analyze financial and operating performance expressed as profit per barrel and is an indicator of how efficient the Company is at extracting and selling its product. For netback purposes, the Company adds the effects attributable to transportation and operating costs of any realized gain or loss on foreign exchange risk management contracts. Refer to the reconciliation in the "Operating Netback from discontinued operations" section on page 11 of the MD&A.Oil and Gas Sales, Net of Purchases - Discontinued OperationsOil and gas sales from Colombia discontinued operations, net of purchases, is a non IFRS financial measure that is calculated using oil and gas sales less the purchased crude net margin. Produced crude oil and gas sales from Colombia discontinued operations per boe and Oil and gas sales from discontinued operations, net of purchases per boe, are a non IFRS ratio that are calculated using Colombia Produced crude oil and gas sales per boe, and the oil and gas sales, net of purchases, divided by the total Colombia sales volumes, net of purchases.A reconciliation of this calculation is provided below:

Figures from previous reporting periods were changed due to the re-presentation of continuing operations following the divestment of non-core assets in Ecuador. Refer to the "Discontinued Operations" section of the interim management's discussion and analysis for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 dated March 17, 2026 (the "MD&A") for further details.Due to the pending shareholder vote in respect of the previously announced arrangement with Parex Resources Inc., the Company will not host a conference call in connection with its fourth quarter and full year 2025 results.Gabriel de Alba, Chairman of the Board of Directors, commented:"2025 was a year of decisive execution and disciplined capital allocation, as Frontera delivered on its commitments and strengthened its financial position. The Company generated $308 million of Operating EBITDA and closed the year with $242 million of cash, providing a strong foundation to execute on its strategic priorities.Following year-end, Frontera entered into a definitive arrangement with Parex for the divestment of its Colombian E&P assets, marking the successful culmination of a multi-year, comprehensive strategic process. This transaction crystallizes a $125 million increase in cash consideration to shareholders—a 31% improvement over the GeoPark outcome—while preserving significant long-term upside through our Infrastructure platform and retained assets.Throughout this process, the Board remained focused on a clear objective: maximizing long-term shareholder value through disciplined evaluation, thoughtful engagement with counterparties, and careful stewardship of the Company's strategic options. The outcome reflects both the intrinsic quality of our team, assets and the strength of our positioning.With this transaction, Frontera completes its transition into a focused infrastructure platform anchored by its interests in ODL and Puerto Bahía—high-quality assets that generate stable cash flows and offer attractive growth opportunities.Subject to closing, the Company expects to return approximately $470 million to shareholders, representing a substantial return of capital, while retaining the financial flexibility to invest in high-conviction growth initiatives, including its LNG regasification project with Ecopetrol.In total, this strategy will have unlocked approximately $1.3 billion of capital for shareholders. Frontera now enters its next phase as a more focused, cash-generative infrastructure company, well positioned to deliver durable returns and continued value creation."Orlando Cabrales, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Frontera, commented:"In 2025, Frontera successfully generated positive results, continued to maintain operational flexibility, drive cost efficiencies, prioritize operational improvements and maintain a strong balance sheet, and as a result, achieving all the 2025 guidance metrics targets.In our infrastructure business, we delivered another year of strong results. ODL transported almost 239,000 bbl/d while generating approximately $300.0 million in full-year consolidated EBITDA (approximately $105 million attributable to Frontera based on its 35% equity interest). Through our equity interest in the pipeline, we received more than $62 million in cash distributions. Puerto Bahia generated approximately $15 million in operating EBITDA, broadly flat year-over-year, and setting the basis for growth in key dry terminal areas, including increased container activity, offsetting lower volumes from our liquids terminal. Looking ahead, Frontera will emerge as a newly focused infrastructure business, which will be the backbone of our post-transaction Frontera. Our Infrastructure Business generated 2025 Adjusted Infrastructure EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flows totaling $116.6 million and $76.7 million, respectively, supported by a stable dividend stream from ODL and an attractive growth profile at Puerto Bahía. Key growth initiatives include LPG import facilities, a potential LNG regasification project and containerized cargo expansion. The LPG project is expected to achieve an early start-up later in March, and emerging opportunities like the LNG regasification project, supported by a binding take-or-pay agreement with Ecopetrol, with an initial capacity of approximately 126 MMcfd, anticipated to increase to at least 300 MMcfd by 2029, shall continue to drive growth into 2026 and beyond."Fourth Quarter / Full Year 2025 Operational and Financial Summary:

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Operational and Financial Results:During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company reported net loss from continuing operations, attributable to equity holders of the Company, of $663.4 million mainly resulting from a loss from operations of $636.6 million (net of a non-cash impairment expense of $620.4 million), an income tax expense of $21.5 million (including $28.2 million of deferred income tax expenses), finance expenses of $18.9 million and foreign exchange loss of $4.4 million, partially offset by $14.1 million from share of income from associates, $3.3 million related to income on risk management contracts and $1.4 million of finance income. This compares with net loss from continuing operations, attributable to equity holders of the Company, in the fourth quarter of 2024, of $20.5 million, which included an income tax expense of $35.6 million (including $36.4 million of deferred income tax expenses), finance expenses of $21.5 million, $8.9 million related to loss on risk management contracts, and foreign exchange loss of $1.8 million, partially offset by income from operations of $25.5 million (net of a non cash impairment expense of $18.2 million) and $13.2 million from the share of income from associates.Total Colombian production averaged 38,332 boe/d in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with 38,934 boe/d in the prior quarter and compared with 40,656 boe/d in the fourth quarter of 2024. Production decreased mainly due to (i) a 4% and 1% decline in heavy crude oil production, respectively, resulting from equipment and well failures in heavy oil fields, and community blockades in the Sabanero block, and (ii) light and medium crude oil combined, and natural gas liquids production decreased mainly due to natural decline. These were partially offset by increases in conventional natural gas production driven by the commercialization of natural gas volumes from the VIM-1 block. Frontera's production averaged 39,011 boe/d, within the Company's guidance of 39,000 - 39,500 boe/d.

The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to lower Brent oil prices, an increase in production cost (excluding energy costs) and transportation costs. Frontera's weighted average oil price was $68.13/bbl in 2025, generating $308.0 million of EBITDA within the Company's guidance.Cash provided by operating activities reported was $195.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 ($116.5 million, excluding the $80 million Chevron prepayment), compared with $115.0 million in the prior quarter, and $168.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. During the quarter, the Company invested $53.2 million in capital expenditures, and received cash dividends of $12.2 million and a cash return of capital of $4.6 million from Oleoducto de los Llanos Orientales S.A. ("ODL").The Company reported a total cash position of $241.8 million at December 31, 2025, compared with $172.1 million at September 30, 2025, and $222.8 million at December 31, 2024. The Company generated $422.4 million of cash from operations in 2025, compared to $508.1 million in 2024. During the year, the Company invested $209.2 million of capital expenditures, and $4 million to repurchase senior notes.As at December 31, 2025, the Company had a total crude oil inventory balance of 860,362 barrels compared to 919,914 barrels at September 30, 2025. The Company had a total inventory balance in Colombia of 380,162 barrels, including 242,912 crude oil barrels and 137,162 barrels of diluent and others. This compared to 439,714 barrels as at September 30, 2025, and 501,778 barrels as at December 31, 2024. The decrease in inventory levels was associated with higher volumes of oil inventory sold during the quarter.Capital expenditures were $53.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with $50.9 million in the prior quarter and $84.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. During the fourth quarter the Company spudded 3 development wells and drilled the Guapo-1 exploration well in the VIM-1 block. Total capital expenditures executed for the year were $209.1 million, within the Company's guidance of $200 - $223 million.The Company's net sales realized price was $56.14/boe in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $59.72/boe in the prior quarter and $63.04/boe in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a lower Brent oil price, partially offset by better oil price differentials and lower cash royalties paid. The Company's net sales realized price in 2025 was $59.23/boe compared to $67.72/boe in 2024.The Company's operating netback from continuing operations was $28.36/boe in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with $33.98/boe in the prior quarter and $38.39/boe in the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company's operating netback decrease quarter-over-quarter was a result of lower net sales realized prices, and an increase in production costs (excluding energy cost) and transportation costs. The Operating netback for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $32.51/boe, compared to $41.27/boe in 2024.Production costs (excluding energy costs), net of realized FX hedge impact, averaged $9.64/boe in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with $8.46/boe in the prior quarter and $7.60/boe in the fourth quarter of 2024. Production costs increase was primarily driven by higher well service activity and the impact of the strong Colombian peso. Production costs (excluding energy costs), net of realized FX hedge impact for the year was $9.23/boe within the Company's guidance of $8.75 - $9.25/boe.Energy costs, net of realized FX hedging impacts, averaged $6.22/boe in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $5.56/boe in the prior quarter and up from $5.46/boe in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase quarter over quarter was mainly due to higher fuel consumption resulting from higher processed production liquid volumes and the impact of the strong Colombian peso. Energy costs, net of realized FX hedge impact for the year was $5.49/boe within the Company's guidance of $5.25 - $5.75/boe.Transportation costs, net of realized FX hedging impacts averaged $11.92/boe in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with $11.72/boe in the prior quarter and $11.59/boe in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in transportation costs during the quarter was mainly driven by increased transported volumes resulting from inventory drawdown. Transportation costs, net of realized FX hedge impact for the year was $12.00/boe below the Company's guidance of $12.50 - $13.00/boe.Frontera Infrastructure Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Operational and Financial Results:ODL volumes transported were 241,734 bbl/d during the fourth quarter of 2025, in line with the previous quarter, which saw 241,958 bbl/d in volumes transported. During the year 2025, ODL transported an average of 238,994 bbl/d.Total Puerto Bahia liquids volumes were 40,548 bbl/d during the quarter compared to 39,560 bbl/d the previous quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2025, lower third-party liquids volumes reflected reduced throughput from key customers and the absence of certain trading flows, partially offset by strong performance in the dry port. During 2025, Puerto Bahia had higher revenues from roll-on/ roll-off (RoRo), containerized cargo, and general cargo, supported by volume growth and tariff adjustments.Adjusted Infrastructure EBITDA, including $0.4 million of negative Adjusted Infrastructure EBITDA related to ProAgrollanos and SAARA activities, which will be divested as part of the Parex transaction, in the quarter was $30.5 million, compared to $30.4 million in the prior quarter. EBITDA in the fourth quarter was driven by higher EBITDA from Puerto Bahia, mainly due to higher throughput for the liquids and container volumes handled at the port, partially offset by higher costs in ODL. Adjusted Infrastructure EBITDA for the year was $116.6 million, including $3.4 million of negative Adjusted Infrastructure EBITDA related to ProAgrollanos and SAARA activities.Capital expenditures for the three months ended December 31, 2025, totaled $2.8 million primarily driven by investments totaling $1.7 million made in Puerto Bahia, including: (i) $0.9 million towards the connection project between Puerto Bahia's port facility and the Cartagena refinery, (ii) tank maintenance, and (iii) general expenditures related to the cargo terminal facilities. Fourth quarter capital expenditures also included investment in the SAARA project and palm oil plantation.Puerto Bahía secured a take-or-pay agreement with Ecopetrol, subject to certain conditions precedent, to develop an LNG regasification project in early 2026. The project is expected to benefit from Puerto Bahía's existing and robust port facilities and operating platform, including the repurposing of the Reficar connection to transport natural gas, enabling an accelerated development timeline and faster time-to-market. The project contemplates two phases, with an initial regasification capacity of approximately 126 MMcfd, anticipated to increase to at least 300 MMcfd by 2029, providing integrated logistics and regasification services to Reficar and the Colombian Natural Gas Transportation System (SNT).2025 Year End Reserves EvaluationFrontera announced the results of its annual independent reserves assessment for the year ended December 31, 2025, conducted by D&M in accordance with the definitions, standards and procedures contained in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook maintained by the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (Calgary Chapter) (the "COGE Handbook"), National Instrument 51-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101") and CSA Staff Notice 51-324, and are based on the Reserves Report (as defined below).

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company's exploration focus remained on the Lower Magdalena Valley and Llanos Basins in Colombia. At the VIM-1 block, the Guapo-1 exploration well was spudded on October 16, 2025, and reached total depth, approximately 15,000 feet, on December 31, 2025.Following logging operations, it was determined that hydrocarbon production was not commercial. Parex and Frontera have agreed to proceed with plugging and abandoning the well. In addition, the Company is engaged in pre-seismic and pre-drilling activities related to social and environmental studies in the Llanos-99 and VIM-46 blocks to ensure the drilling of exploratory wells from 2026 onward. At the Llanos-99 block, the operational phase of the 3D seismic survey has commenced with the mobilization of materials and equipment.Infrastructure ColombiaFor Fiscal Year 2025, Frontera's Infrastructure Colombia Segment includes the Company's 35% equity interest in the ODL pipeline through Frontera's wholly owned subsidiary, FPI and the Company's 99.97% interest in Puerto Bahia. Beginning in 2024, the Infrastructure Colombia Segment also includes the Company's reverse osmosis water treatment facility (SAARA) and its palm oil plantation (ProAgrollanos). As part of the Parex Arrangement Agreement, Frontera is selling the SAARA and ProAgrollanos assets, given their close operational linkage to supporting activities in the Quifa block. Following the closing of the Parex Arrangement Agreement, Frontera's Infrastructure Colombia business will no longer include SAARA or ProAgrollanos.As previously announced, in connection with the standalone and growing Colombia infrastructure business, the planned LPG project has been approved for development. The initial phase of the project is being fast-tracked and expected to be operational in later in March, supporting the supply constraints in Colombia's domestic LPG market.At the beginning of 2026, Puerto Bahía secured a take-or-pay agreement with Ecopetrol, subject to certain conditions precedent, to develop an LNG regasification project, providing integrated logistics and regasification services to Reficar and the Colombian Natural Gas Transportation System (SNT). The project is expected to benefit from Puerto Bahía's existing and robust port facilities and operating platform, including the repurposing of the Reficar connection, enabling an accelerated development timeline and faster time-to-market. The project contemplates two phases, with an initial regasification capacity of approximately 126 MMcfd, anticipated to increase to at least 300 MMcfd by 2029. The services are planned to be available in the fourth quarter of 2026, and the agreement contemplates an up to seven-year service term commencing from the start of operations, with options to extend for an additional five years by mutual agreement.The Company continues to pursue strategic investment opportunities to maximize the port's infrastructure and drive long-term value creation.Infrastructure Colombia Segment ResultsAdjusted Infrastructure EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $30.5 million, compared with $30.4 million during the third quarter of 2025, EBITDA was in line with previous quarter, driven by higher EBITDA from Puerto Bahia, mainly due to higher throughput of liquids and container volumes handled at the Port, partially offset by higher costs in ODL.On the SAARA side, water management volumes continue to increase and stabilize, reaching an average of 181,637 barrels for the quarter, gaining momentum towards the goal of 250,000 barrels per day.

(the "Investors"), delivered a Notice of Intent to the Government of Guyana (the "GoG"). In this Notice, the Investors alleged breaches of the United Kingdom–Guyana Bilateral Investment Treaty and the Guyana Investment Act by the GoG. This communication triggered a 90-day consultation and negotiation period intended to resolve the dispute amicably.On July 23, 2025, the GoG, through its legal counsel, responded to the Notice of Intent, rejecting the claims regarding the Corentyne block license, and reaffirmed its view that the interest of Frontera Energy Guyana Corp. ("Frontera Guyana") and CGX Resources Inc. ("CGX Resources", and together with Frontera Guyana, the "Joint Venture") expired on June 28, 2024. The Joint Venture has continued to exchange without prejudice communications with the GoG, and remains open to engaging in good faith discussions with the GoG.The Joint Venture continues to firmly maintain that its interests in, and the license for, the Corentyne block remain valid and in good standing and that the Petroleum Agreement for such block has not been terminated. While the GoG has publicly stated its position that the Joint Venture's interest expired on June 28, 2024, the Joint Venture strongly disagrees and remains committed to asserting its legal rights under applicable treaties and agreements.The Joint Venture jointly holds 100% working interest in the Corentyne block, located offshore Guyana. Frontera Guyana and CGX Resources have agreed that their respective participating interests are 72.52% and 27.48%, which includes a 4.52% interest that CGX Resources agreed to assign to Frontera Guyana in 2023. This assignment remains subject to the approval of the GoG but is enforceable between Frontera Guyana and CGX Resources.Hedging UpdateAs part of its risk management strategy, Frontera uses derivative commodity instruments to manage exposure to price volatility by hedging a portion of its oil production. The Company's strategy aims to protect 40-60% of its estimated net after royalties' production using a combination of instruments, capped and non-capped, to protect the revenue generation and cash position of the Company, while maximizing the upside, thereby allowing the Company to take a more dynamic approach to the management of its hedging portfolio.The following table summarizes Frontera's hedging position as of March 17, 2026.TermType of InstrumentPositions (bbl/d)Strike Prices Put/CallJan 26Put Spread8,09765/55Feb 26Put Spread14,50065/55Mar 26Put Spread20,61365/551Q-2026Total Average14,40065/55Apr 26Put Spread8,07362.7/55May 26Put Spread21,25862.7/55Jun 26Put Spread14,63362.7/552Q-2026Total Average14,72762.7/55About Frontera:Frontera Energy Corporation is a Canadian public company involved in the exploration, development, production, transportation, storage and sale of oil and natural gas in South America, including related investments in both upstream and midstream facilities.

The FOFI has been prepared by management to provide an outlook of the Company's activities and results, and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Company and management believe that the FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's reasonable estimates and judgments, however, actual results of operations of the Company and the resulting financial results may vary from the amounts set forth herein. Any FOFI speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any FOFI, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, unless required by applicable laws.Non-IFRS Financial MeasuresThis press release contains various "non-IFRS financial measures" (equivalent to "non-GAAP financial measures", as such term is defined in NI 52-112), "non-IFRS ratios" (equivalent to "non-GAAP ratios", as such term is defined in NI 52-112), "supplementary financial measures" (as such term is defined in NI 52-112) and "capital management measures" (as such term is defined in NI 52-112), which are described in further detail below. Such measures do not have standardized IFRS definitions. The Company's determination of these non-IFRS financial measures may differ from other reporting issuers and they are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Furthermore, these financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance or cash flows as prepared in accordance with IFRS. These financial measures do not replace or supersede any standardized measure under IFRS. Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.The Company discloses these financial measures, together with measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, because management believes they provide useful information to investors and shareholders, as management uses them to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. These financial measures highlight trends in the Company's core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Further, management also uses non-IFRS measures to exclude the impact of certain expenses and income that management does not believe reflect the Company's underlying operating performance. The Company's management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and to prepare annual operating budgets and as a measure of the Company's ability to finance its ongoing operations and obligations.Set forth below is a description of the non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS ratios, supplementary financial measures and capital management measures used in the MD&A.Operating EBITDA from Continuing Operations *EBITDA is a commonly used non-IFRS financial measure that adjusts net income (loss) as reported under IFRS to exclude the effects of income taxes, finance income and expenses, and DD&A. Operating EBITDA from continuing operations is a non-IFRS financial measure that represents the operating results of the Company's primary business, excluding the following items: restructuring, severance and other costs, post-termination obligation, trunkline costs, temporal taxes, payments of minimum work commitments and, certain non-cash items (such as impairments, foreign exchange, unrealized risk management contracts, share-based compensation and debt extinguishment cost) and gains or losses arising from the disposal of capital assets. In addition, other unusual or non-recurring items are excluded from operating EBITDA from continuing operations, as they are not indicative of the underlying core operating performance of the Company.The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Operating EBITDA from continuing operations:

This is a useful indicator for management, as the Company hedges a portion of its oil production using derivative instruments to manage exposure to oil price volatility. This metric allows the Company to report its realized net sales after factoring in these oil risk management activities. The deduction of cost of purchases is helpful to understand the Company's sales performance based on the net realized proceeds from its own production, the cost of which is partially recovered when the blended product is sold. Net sales also exclude sales from port services, as it is not considered part of the oil and gas segment. Refer to the reconciliation in the "Sales" section on page 10 of the MD&A.Operating Netback and Oil and Gas Sales, Net of PurchasesOperating netback is a non-IFRS financial measure and operating netback per boe is a non-IFRS ratio. Operating netback per boe is used to assess the net margin of the Company's production after subtracting all costs associated with bringing one barrel of oil to the market. It is also commonly used by the oil and gas industry to analyze financial and operating performance expressed as profit per barrel and is an indicator of how efficient the Company is at extracting and selling its product. For netback purposes, the Company removes the effects of any trading activities and results from its Infrastructure Colombia Segment from the per barrel metrics and adds the effects attributable to transportation and operating costs of any realized gain or loss on foreign exchange risk management contracts. Refer to the reconciliation in the "Operating Netback" section on page 9 of the MD&A.The following is a description of each component of the Company's operating netback and how it is calculated. Oil and gas sales, net of purchases, is a non-IFRS financial measure that is calculated using oil and gas sales less the cost of volumes purchased from third parties including its transportation and refining costs. Oil and gas sales, net of purchases per boe, is a non-IFRS ratio that is calculated using oil and gas sales, net of purchases, divided by the total sales volumes, net of purchases. A reconciliation of this calculation is provided below:

Please see the calculation below.Distributable Cash Flow is a non- IFRS financial measure used to assess the cash available to the Company from its operations and equity investments to support capital expenditures, debt service and dividends.Non-IFRS RatiosRealized oil price, net of purchases, and realized gas price per boeRealized oil price, net of purchases, and realized gas price per boe are both non-IFRS ratios. Realized oil price, net of purchases, per boe is calculated using oil sales net of purchases, divided by total sales volumes, net of purchases.

They must fully meet the requirements of the reserves category (proved, probable, possible) to which they are assigned."Proved" reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves."Probable" reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves."Possible" reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.
