Production, Revenue & AG真人官方ized Prices

Production, Revenues and AG真人官方ized Prices

Boe and oil production for the second quarter increased by approximately 19% and 46%, respectively, versus the same period in 2024, contributing to increased revenues year-over-year. Second quarter production levels were relatively flat versus the first quarter of 2025 with production from the first well in the Company's operated drilling program only contributing to a portion of second quarter volumes. While revenues and realized prices were improved in the first half of 2025 versus the first half of 2024, reductions in West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") and Henry Hub ("HH") benchmarks throughout the first half of 2025 resulted in lower commodity realizations and revenues quarter-over-quarter.

Operating Costs

During the second quarter and first half of 2025, lease operating expense ("LOE") was听$6.6 million and $17.5 million听 or $4.05听 and $5.42 per Boe, respectively. Lease operating expenses improved versus the second quarter in 2024 primarily due to a $2.1 million one-time non-cash adjustment of an operating accrual dating back to the Company's emergence from Bankruptcy, as well as continued efficient operations and increased sales volumes associated with our Cherokee acquisition in 2024 and ongoing development program. The Company continues to focus on its operating costs and on safely maximizing the value of its asset base through prudent expenditure programs, cost management efforts, and continuous pursuit of efficiency in the field.

Liquidity & Capital Structure

As of June听30, 2025, the Company had $104.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, deposited with multiple, well-capitalized financial institutions. The Company has no outstanding term or revolving debt obligations.

Dividend Program

On August 5, 2025, the Board declared a $0.12 per share dividend, an increase of 9%, of the Company's common stock, payable on September 29, 2025 to shareholders of record on September 22, 2025. Shareholders may elect to receive cash or additional shares of common stock through the Company's newly authorized Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

Share Repurchases

The Company continues to opportunistically repurchase shares under its 10b5-1 program. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 0.5 million shares for $6.0 million at an average price of $10.89 per share. Of the $75 million repurchase authorization, $69 million remained outstanding.

Outlook

We remain committed to growing the value of our asset base in a safe, responsible and efficient manner, while prudently allocating capital to high-return, growth projects. Currently, these projects include: (1) One-rig development in the Cherokee Shale Play (2) Evaluation of accretive merger and acquisition opportunities, with consideration of our strong balance sheet and commitment to our capital return program (3) Production Optimization program through artificial lift conversions to more efficient and cost-effective systems and high-graded recompletions and (4) A leasing program that will bolster future development and extend development in our Cherokee assets. Our leaseholds are approximately 95% held by production, which cost-effectively maintains our development option over a reasonable tenor. We will continue to monitor forward-looking commodity prices, project results, costs, impacts of tariffs and other factors that could influence returns and cash flows, and will adjust our program accordingly, to include curtailment of capital activity and wells, if needed, or conversely, well reactivations in higher commodity price environments. These and other factors, including reasonable reinvestment rates, maintaining our cash flows and prioritizing our regular-way dividend, will continue to shape our development decisions for the remainder of the year and beyond.

Environmental, Social, & Governance ("ESG")

SandRidge maintains its Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") commitment to harvesting the Company's resources in a safe and environmentally conscious manner, to include no routine flaring of produced natural gas, transporting nearly all of our produced water via pipeline instead of truck, and powering nearly all our well sites with electricity, mitigating the need for less efficient power sources. Via a 24-hour manned operations center and dedicated personnel trained in the use of infrared leak detection and other specialized equipment, the Company continually monitors our asset base for potential emissions and continually works to optimize efficiency through initiatives such as proactive artificial lift upgrades that reduce SandRidge's electric power consumption. Additionally, SandRidge maintains an emphasis on the safety and training of our workforce with a demonstrable safety track record integral to our culture. The Company has personnel dedicated to the close monitoring of our safety standards and daily operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes听non-GAAP听financial measures. These听non-GAAP听measures are not alternatives to GAAP measures, and you should not consider these听non-GAAP听measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Below is additional disclosure regarding each of the听non-GAAP听measures used in this press release, including reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted Operating Cash Flow

The Company defines adjusted operating cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities as shown in the following table. Adjusted operating cash flow is a supplemental financial measure used by the Company's management and by securities analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies and others who follow the industry as an indicator of the Company's ability to internally fund exploration and development activities or incur new debt. The Company also uses this measure because operating cash flow relates to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements that the Company may not control and may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred. Further, adjusted operating cash flow allows the Company to compare its operating performance and return on capital with those of other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net cash provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow

The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities plus net cash (used in) provided by investing activities less the cash flow impact of acquisitions and divestitures. Free cash flow is a supplemental financial measure used by the Company's management and by securities analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies and others who follow the industry as an indicator of the Company's ability to internally fund exploration and development activities or incur new debt. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net cash provided by operating or investing activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.

听

Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

The Company defines EBITDA as net income before income tax (benefit) expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization - other and depreciation and depletion - oil and natural gas. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented herein, is EBITDA excluding items that management believes affect the comparability of operating results such as items whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated or are non-recurring, as shown in the following tables.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides useful additional information used by the Company's management and by securities analysts, investors, lenders, ratings agencies and others who follow the industry for analysis of the Company's financial and operating performance on a recurring basis and the Company's ability to internally fund exploration and development activities or incur new debt. In addition, management believes that adjusted EBITDA is widely used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison and investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas industry. The Company's adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Reconciliation of Net Income Available to Common Stockholders to Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders

The Company defines adjusted net income as net income excluding items that management believes affect the comparability of operating results and are typically excluded from published estimates by the investment community, including items whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated or are non-recurring, as shown in the following tables.

Management uses the supplemental measure of adjusted net income as an indicator of the Company's operational trends and performance relative to other oil and natural gas companies and believes it is more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities analysts. Adjusted net income is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net income available to common stockholders.

听

Reconciliation of General and Administrative to Adjusted G&A

The Company reports and provides guidance on Adjusted G&A per Boe because it believes this measure is commonly used by management, analysts and investors as an indicator of cost management and operating efficiency on a comparable basis from period to period and to compare and make investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas industry. This non-GAAP measure allows for the analysis of general and administrative spend without regard to stock-based compensation programs and other non-recurring cash items, if any, which can vary significantly between companies. Adjusted G&A per Boe is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for general and administrative expense per Boe. Therefore, the Company's Adjusted G&A per Boe may not be comparable to other companies' similarly titled measures.

The Company defines adjusted G&A as general and administrative expense adjusted for certain non-cash stock-based compensation and other non-recurring items, if any, as shown in the following tables:
