The first quarter of 2026 was a period of strong sequential momentum for Decimus, marked by quarter-over-quarter growth in revenue and operating netbacks, lower royalty and capital costs, and continued progress in strengthening the Company’s balance sheet.

The Company’s key achievements in the first quarter of 2026 included the following: Achieved production of 165 boe/d ( 43 % Oil NGLs) in Q1/26, 12% decrease when compared to 187 boe/d in Q1/25 and a 1% increase when compared to 163 boe/d in Q4/25.   Revenue in Q1/26 was $593,423, an 11% increase from Q4/25 revenue of $535,501, due primarily to a 12% increase in combined commodity prices and a 1% increase in production. Oil revenue increased 14% to $487,860, supported by a 16% increase in realized oil prices while oil production remained stable.   Royalty expense decreased to $32,766, representing 6% of revenue in Q1/26, compared to $54,915, or 10% of revenue, in Q4/25 and from $77,144 or 9% of revenue in Q1/25.   Net production expenses decreased to $474,919 in Q1/26 from $515,891 in Q1/25; however, on a per boe basis, they increased by 4% to $31.89/boe in Q1/26 from $30.61/boe in Q1/25.   Operating netbacks more than doubled in Q1/26, increasing to $5.76/boe from $2.78/boe in Q4/25. The increase was driven by a 12% increase in average realized sales, to $39.85/boe in Q1 2026 from $35.68/boe in Q4 2025, as well as a 40% decrease in royalty expenses.   Cash flow from operating activities of $83,854 in Q1/26, a 65% decrease compared to Q4/25 cash flow of $239,010 and an 8% increase when compared to $77,816 in Q1/25.   Total capital expenditures decreased by 78% in Q1/26 to $35,190 from $157,050 in Q4/25.   “We are very pleased with the momentum Decimus built during the first quarter of 2026,” said Cameron MacDonald, President & CEO of Decimus. “On a quarter-over-quarter basis we grew revenue by 11%, more than doubled our operating netback, and reduced both royalty and capital costs while holding production essentially flat.

Together with the debt settlement and the continued backing of our directors, these results reflect the discipline and confidence we are carrying into the next phase of our Mannville development strategy.” The following table summarizes the Company’s financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.   Selected Quarterly Information Capital Management Measure; See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures, Non-IFRS Financial Ratios and Capital Management Measures” Section of this MDA.   Non-IFRS Financial Ratio; See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures, Non-IFRS Financial Ratios and Capital Management Measures” Section of this MDA.     Shares for Debt Settlement The Company further announces that it has entered into definitive agreements with certain arm’s-length creditors to settle certain outstanding indebtedness through the issuance of common shares of the Company (the “ Shares for Debt Transaction ”). As a result, and pursuant to the Shares for Debt Transaction, the Company will settle an aggregate of $59,128.11 of outstanding indebtedness through the issuance of 540,329 common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.10 per common share, subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange (“ TSXV ”).
