CALGARY, AB, March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Frontera Energy Corporation (TSX: FEC) (OTCQX: FECCF) ("Frontera" or the "Company") today reported financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, and the results of its annual independent reserves assessment conducted by DeGolyer and MacNaughton Corp ("D&M"). 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.

• Operating EBITDA from continuing operations was $68.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with $86.6 million in the prior quarter and $109.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. 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).

Divestment of Colombian E&P Asset Portfolio

As part of Frontera's on-going commitment to unlock shareholder value, the Company previously announced it had entered into a definitive agreement with Parex Resources Inc. and Parex AcquisitionCo Inc (together "Parex") (the "Parex Arrangement Agreement"), pursuant to which Parex will acquire Frontera's upstream Colombian exploration and production business (the "Frontera E&P Assets") by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) for an equity value of up to $525 million.

Pursuant to the Arrangement, Parex will acquire 100% of Frontera's Colombian upstream business, which consists of all of Frontera's oil and gas exploration and production assets in Colombia, the reverse osmosis water treatment facility ("SAARA") and the palm oil plantation ("ProAgrollanos").

Total cash consideration is up to $525 million, ("Cash Consideration") comprising:

• $500 million payable at closing, subject to customary closing adjustments; and
• An additional $25 million contingent payment payable upon execution of the contractual amendment, or other binding agreement, extending the term of the Quifa Association Contract within 12 months of closing of the Parex Arrangement Agreement.

Under the terms of the Parex Arrangement Agreement, Parex or and affiliate thereof, will also assume all of Frontera's obligations under the $310 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2028 unsecured notes of the Company and the $80 million outstanding under Frontera's prepayment facility with Chevron Products Company. The Arrangement implies a firm value of approximately $750 million for the acquired assets, comprising cash consideration and the assumption of existing debt.

Below is a breakdown of the Operating EBITDA by the relevant businesses for 2025:

The Arrangement has an effective date of January 1, 2026, is anticipated to close in the second quarter of 2026 subject to customary closing conditions including, without limitation, receipt of Frontera's shareholder approval in accordance with applicable corporate and securities laws, approval of the plan of arrangement by the British Columbia Supreme Court and receipt of required regulatory approvals. The Arrangement is not subject to any financing conditions and payment of the Cash Consideration by Parex will be funded entirely through a combination of Parex's existing cash and credit facilities, and an underwritten financing commitment from Scotiabank.

In connection with the Parex Arrangement Agreement, the Catalyst Capital Group Inc. and Gramercy Funds Management LLC, which beneficially own approximately 41% and 12% of the Company's outstanding shares, respectively, have entered into support agreements under which, subject to the terms of the agreements, they have agreed to vote in favor of the Transaction.

Frontera intends to make a cash distribution to Frontera shareholders of approximately $470 million, as previously announced following the Arrangement, comprised of: (a) an amount between $445 to $455 million payable upon completion of the Arrangement (the "Closing Amount"); and (b) up to an additional $25 million associated to the contingent payment. Subject to the completion of the Arrangement and the approval of a shareholder resolution to approve the Return of Capital (the "Return of Capital Resolution").

As highlighted above, the final distribution amount will be determined by the Board following completion of the Arrangement based on the net cash proceeds of the Arrangement after deducting capital reserved for growth investments, transaction costs, fees and other expenses. Frontera currently expects to allocate approximately $25 million of the proceeds from the Arrangement to its infrastructure business to fund its strategic growth projects, particularly its potential LNG regasification project with Ecopetrol. On a pro forma basis for the 2025 fiscal year, following completion of the Arrangement and after giving effect to the $25 million of capital allocation, management of Frontera expects Frontera Infrastructure to have approximately $50 million of cash and cash equivalents.

The Return of Capital is conditional on the completion of the Arrangement. Accordingly, if the Arrangement is not approved by Frontera shareholders or the Arrangement is not otherwise completed, the Return of Capital will not be completed, regardless of whether Frontera shareholders approve the Return of Capital.

Frontera intends to hold a special meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") on April 30, 2026, to approve the Arrangement (the "Arrangement Resolution") and, the Return of Capital Resolution and to transact such further and other business as may properly brought before the Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof. To become effective, each of the Arrangement Resolution and the Return of Capital Resolution requires approval by at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by Frontera's shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. The record date (the "Record Date") for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting is expected to be the close of business on March 30, 2026.

Further details regarding the Arrangement and the Return of Capital will be contained in the management information circular (the "Circular"), to be mailed to the Shareholders in connection with the Meeting.

Unlocking Frontera Infrastructure

Upon completion of the Arrangement, Frontera will emerge as a new Infrastructure-focused business, anchored by its interest in ODL and Puerto Bahía. Frontera Infrastructure will own and operate its Infrastructure Colombia business, and will retain certain other non‑Colombian assets, including its interest in Guyana.

Frontera's key assets and interests will comprise (a) a multi‑purpose maritime terminal (the "Port Facility") in the Cartagena Bay through its 99.97% equity interest in Puerto Bahía, and (b) pipeline transportation services through its 35% equity interest in ODL. The business is expected to generate cash flows primarily from pipeline transportation services at ODL and liquids and general cargo terminal operations at the Port Facility, complemented by near‑term growth initiatives that enhance connectivity within Colombia's downstream value chain.

ODL's robust and predictable cash‑flow generation and Puerto Bahía's pipeline of strategic growth projects will form the backbone of Frontera's post‑Arrangement infrastructure portfolio.

Puerto Bahia Highlights

• Centrally located operations hub in Cartagena Bay with unrestricted draft and direct access to key road and logistics corridors serving Colombia's industrial mainland.
• Integrated liquids and general cargo operations with vast expansion area.
• Completed pipeline connection to Reficar, Colombia's most important refinery.
• Several near-term expansion opportunities that will enhance asset value and cash flow potential including the liquified petroleum gas ("LPG") import facilities, an LNG regasification project, and containerized cargo expansion.

ODL Highlights

• Key midstream asset in Colombia, transporting ~30% of Colombian oil production and serving the Llanos area holding ~70% of Colombian proven crude oil reserves.
• Stable cash generation and strong market and operating position.
• Estimated 12+ years of economic life for the blocks transported via ODL.
• Unique position to capture additional revenue streams from its area of influence.

Below is a breakdown of Frontera's Infrastructure Adjusted EBITDA:

Frontera's Core Businesses

Colombia Upstream Onshore

Colombia

During the fourth quarter of 2025, Frontera produced 38,332 boe/d from its Colombian operations (consisting of 26,696 bbl/d of heavy crude oil, 8,918 bbl/d of light and medium crude oil, 5,261 mcf/d of conventional natural gas and 1,795 boe/d of natural gas liquids).

Currently, the Company has 1 drilling rig and 2 well intervention rigs active at its Quifa and CPE-6 and Guatiquia blocks in Colombia.

Quifa Block: Quifa SW and Cajua

For the Quifa block, fourth quarter 2025 production averaged 17,639 bbl/d of heavy crude oil (including both Quifa and Cajua) as compared to 17,586 bbl/d during the previous quarter. The Company invested in facility expansion and the installation of new flow lines in the Cajua field, in the Quifa block to support new well production and the SAARA connection.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company processed approximately 1.76 million barrels of water per day in Quifa including SAARA.

CPE-6

For the CPE-6 block, production averaged approximately 7,346 bbl/d of heavy crude oil during the fourth quarter, compared to 7,710 bbl/d during the third quarter of 2025.

The Company invested in the expansion of crude oil storage capacity and the implementation of new field production technologies.

The Company processed approximately 385 thousand barrels of water per day in CPE-6 in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company's current water handling capacity in CPE-6 is approximately 400 thousand barrels of water per day.

Other Colombia Developments

For Guatiquia, production during the fourth quarter 2025 averaged 5,007 bbl/d of light and medium crude compared with 5,145bbl/d in the third quarter of 2025.

For the Cubiro block production averaged 896 bbl/d of light and medium crude oil in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared with 981 bbl/d in the third quarter of 2025.

For VIM-1 (Frontera 50% W.I., non-operator), production averaged 2,286 boe/d of light and medium crude oil in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to 2,187 boe/d of light and medium crude oil in the third quarter of 2025.

For the Sabanero block, production averaged 1,711 boe/d of heavy crude oil production in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to 1,781 boe/d in the third quarter of 2025.

Colombia Exploration Assets

During the three months and the year ended December 31, 2025, expenditures related to exploration activities were $16.4 million and $31.0 million, respectively, compared with $5.9 million and $17.0 million, respectively, in the same periods of 2024. 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 Colombia

For 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 Results

Adjusted 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.

Segment 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.

Guyana Update

On March 26, 2025, the Company and its subsidiaries, Frontera Petroleum International Holding B.V. and Frontera Energy Guyana Holding Ltd. (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 Update

As 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.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This 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:

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures is a non-IFRS financial measure that reflects the cash and non-cash items used by the Company to invest in capital assets. This financial measure considers oil and gas properties, plant and equipment, infrastructure, exploration and evaluation assets expenditures which are items reconciled to the Company's Statements of Cash Flows for the period.

Infrastructure Colombia Calculations

Each of Adjusted Infrastructure Revenue, Adjusted Infrastructure Operating Costs and Adjusted Infrastructure General and Administrative, is a non-IFRS financial measure, and each is used to evaluate the performance of the Infrastructure Colombia Segment operations. Adjusted Infrastructure Revenue includes revenues of the Infrastructure Colombia Segment including ODL's revenue direct participation interest. Adjusted Infrastructure Operating Costs includes costs of the Infrastructure Colombia Segment including ODL's cost direct participation interest. Adjusted Infrastructure General and Administrative includes general and administrative costs of the Infrastructure Colombia Segment including ODL's general and administrative direct participation interest.

A reconciliation of each of Adjusted Infrastructure Revenue, Adjusted Infrastructure Operating Costs and Adjusted Infrastructure General and Administrative is provided below.

Adjusted Infrastructure EBITDA

The Adjusted Infrastructure EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure used to assist in measuring the operating results of the Infrastructure Colombia Segment business.

Net Sales

Net sales 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 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 Purchases

Operating 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:

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 Ratios

Realized oil price, net of purchases, and realized gas price per boe

Realized 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. Realized gas price is calculated using sales from gas production divided by the conventional natural gas sales volumes.

Net sales realized price

Net sales realized price is a non-IFRS ratio that is calculated using net sales (including oil and gas sales net of purchases, realized gains and losses from oil risk management contracts and less royalties). Net sales realized price per boe is a non-IFRS ratio which is calculated dividing each component by total sales volumes, net of purchases. A reconciliation of this calculation is provided below:

Purchased crude net margin

Purchased crude net margin is a non-IFRS financial measure that is calculated using the purchased crude oil and products sales, less the cost of those volumes purchased from third parties including its transportation and refining costs. Purchased crude net margin per boe is a non-IFRS ratio that is calculated using the Purchased crude net margin, divided by the total sales volumes, net of purchases. A reconciliation of this calculation is provided below:

Production costs (excluding energy cost), net of realized FX hedge impact, and production cost (excluding energy cost), net of realized FX hedge impact per boe

Production costs (excluding energy cost), net of realized FX hedge impact is a non-IFRS financial measure that mainly includes lifting costs, activities developed in the blocks, processes to put the crude oil and gas in sales condition and the realized gain or loss on foreign exchange risk management contracts attributable to production costs. Production cost, net of realized FX hedge impact per boe is a non-IFRS ratio that is calculated using production cost (excluding energy cost), net of realized FX hedge impact divided by production (before royalties). A reconciliation of this calculation is provided below:

Energy costs, net of realized FX hedge impact, and production cost, net of realized FX hedge impact per boe

Energy costs, net of realized FX hedge impact is a non-IFRS financial measure that describes the electricity consumption and the costs of localized energy generation and the realized gain or loss on foreign exchange risk management contracts attributable to energy costs. Energy cost, net of realized FX hedge impact per boe is a non-IFRS ratio that is calculated using energy cost, net of realized FX hedge impact divided by production (before royalties). A reconciliation of this calculation is provided below:

Transportation costs, net of realized FX hedge impact, and transportation costs, net of realized FX hedge impact per boe

Transportation costs, net of realized FX hedge impact is a non-IFRS financial measure, that includes all commercial and logistics costs associated with the sale of produced crude oil and gas such as trucking and pipeline, and the realized gain or loss on foreign exchange risk management contracts attributable to transportation costs. Transportation cost, net of realized FX hedge impact per boe is a non-IFRS ratio that is calculated using transportation cost, net of realized FX hedge impact divided by net production after royalties. A reconciliation of this calculation is provided below:

Supplementary Financial Measures

Royalties per boe

Royalties includes royalties and amounts paid to previous owners of certain blocks in Colombia and cash payments for PAP. Royalties per boe is a supplementary financial measure that is calculated using the royalties divided by total sales volumes, net of purchases.

Capital Management Measures

Restricted cash short- and long-term

Restricted cash (short- and long-term) is a capital management measure, that sums the short-term portion and long-term portion of the cash that the Company has in term deposits that have been escrowed to cover future commitments and future abandonment obligations, or insurance collateral for certain contingencies and other matters that are not available for immediate disbursement.

Total cash

Total cash is a capital management measure to describe the total cash and cash equivalents restricted and unrestricted available, is comprised by the cash and cash equivalents and the restricted cash short and long-term.

Total debt and lease liabilities

Total debt and lease liabilities are capital management measures to describe the total financial liabilities of the Company and is comprised of the debt of the 2028 Unsecured Notes, loans, and liabilities from leases of various properties, power generation supply, vehicles and other assets.

About Frontera's 2025 Year-End Estimated Reserves

The Company's 2025 year-end estimated reserves were evaluated by D&M in their report dated February 6, 2026, with an effective date of December 31, 2025 (the "Reserves Report"), in accordance with the definitions, standards and procedures contained in the COGE Handbook, NI 51-101 and CSA Staff Notice 51-324. D&M is an independent qualified reserves evaluator as defined in NI 51-101.

Additional reserves information as required under NI 51-101 will be included in the Company's statement of reserves data and other oil and gas information on Form 51-101F1, which is expected to be filed on SEDAR on March 17, 2026. See "Advisory Note Regarding Oil and Gas Information" section in the "Advisories", at the end of this news release.

Definitions:

• "Proved Developed Producing Reserves" are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from completion intervals open at the time of the estimate. These reserves may be currently producing or, if shut-in, they must have previously been in production, and the date of resumption of production must be known with reasonable certainty.
• "Proved Developed Non-Producing Reserves" are those reserves that either have not been on production or have previously been on production but are shut-in and the date of resumption of production is unknown.
• "Proved Undeveloped Reserves" are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure (e.g. when compared to the cost of drilling a well) is required to render them capable of production. 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. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of the estimated proved plus probable plus possible reserves.
