Not For Distribution to United States News Wire Services or Dissemination in United States

CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cavvy Energy Ltd. (“Cavvy” or the “Company”) (TSX:CVVY) is pleased to announce the release of its third quarter 2025 financial and operating results. The Company produced 23,956 boe/d and generated Net Operating Income1 (“NOI”) of $30.6 million during the third quarter of 2025. Management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) and unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 are available at www.cavvyenergy.com and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

“Cavvy delivered another very strong quarter” stated Darcy Reding, President and CEO. “We generated over $30 million of net operating income, supported by 14% growth in third party processing volumes compared to Q2, while hedging gains helped to offset a very challenging summer AECO market. We are also very pleased to announce the execution of a structured forward pricing agreement for our 2026 sulphur sales which provides downside revenue protection while preserving meaningful upside participation in the market if the current strong spot sulphur price persists into 2026.”

Q3 2025 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Generated NOI of $30.6 million ($0.11 per basic and fully diluted share) and Funds Flow from Operations1 of $12.9 million ($0.04 per basic and fully diluted share)
  • Increased third-party raw gas processing volumes to 136.1 MMcf/d, a 69.6 MMcf/d (105%) increase compared to Q3 2024. This resulted in an increase of $4.8 million (87%) in third-party processing and marketing revenue for the quarter compared to Q3 2024
  • Reduced Net Debt1 by $3.2 million from Q2 2025 to $163.7 million
  • Reduced operating expenses by $1.8 million (5%) to $36.7 million compared to Q3 2024

FORWARD SULPHUR PRICING AGREEMENT

The legacy sulphur offtake agreement expires on December 31, 2025. Under this contract, the Company receives a fixed price of approximately $6/mt for the majority of its sulphur production. The expiration of this contract and resulting exposure to market prices represents a significant accretive revenue opportunity for Cavvy shareholders.

On November 6, 2025, a structured sulphur pricing agreement (the “Pricing Agreement”) with a third-party sulphur buyer was mutually executed. Under the terms of this Pricing Agreement, Cavvy will receive the following prices for its sulphur sales for the 12-month period commencing on January 1, 2026:

  • One-third of sulphur sales will receive a fixed price of US$225/mt2
  • One-third of sulphur sales will receive a price determined using a collar structure with a floor of US$205/mt2 and a cap of US$250/mt2
  • One-third of sulphur sales will receive spot FOB Vancouver market price2

The Pricing Agreement provides Cavvy with material downside cash flow protection in 2026 with minimum sulphur pricing much higher than the long-term historical market average, while preserving the Company’s ability to meaningfully participate in the spot sulphur market. The Pricing Agreement applies to 100% of marketed sulphur but does not contain a minimum volume commitment. Cavvy currently produces and markets in excess of 1,100 mt/d of sulphur with full production capability of approximately 1,400 mt/d when currently shut-in sour gas properties are on production.

OUTLOOK

Management’s near-term priority remains strengthening our balance sheet while safely and responsibly operating our assets. Delivering on this priority requires continued focus on attracting incremental third-party volumes, implementing cost reduction initiatives, optimizing infrastructure, and executing non-core asset dispositions to maintain profitability during all periods of the commodity cycle. Our long-term strategy requires continuous improvement in the business while identifying opportunities to generate growth for our shareholders.

With continued success in attracting third party volumes into our facilities, strong hedge gains, and meaningful progress reducing operating costs, management is increasing Cavvy’s 2025 NOI and Operating Netback guidance. The Company’s 2025 production and capital program are expected to remain within the previously disclosed guidance ranges. Improved NOI and netback guidance without increased capital investment, production or pricing illustrates Cavvy’s strength and differentiated midstream business model relative to E&P peers.

The Company’s revised 2025 guidance is as follows:

  Revised 2025 Guidance Previous 2025 Guidance
($ 000s unless otherwise noted) Low High Low High
Total production (boe/d) (1) 23,000 25,000 23,000 25,000
Net operating income (2)(3)(4) 100,000 110,000 75,000 95,000
Operating netback ($/boe) (2)(3)(4) 11.50 12.50 9.00 11.00
Capital expenditures 25,000 30,000 25,000 30,000
  1. Production guidance assumes persistence of previously announced shut-ins in Central AB and periodic, price-dependent production of shut-in volumes in Northern AB and Northeast BC through 2025
  2. Refer to the “Net Operating Income” and “Operating Netback” sections of the Company’s MD&A for reference to non-GAAP measures
  3. Assumes unhedged average 2025 AECO price of $1.61/GJ and average 2025 WTI price of US$65.55/bbl
  4. Includes the impact of hedge contracts in place at November 6, 2025

Specific priorities for 2025 are:

  • Sustain a safe and regulatory compliant business
  • Minimize facility outages to maximize sales and processing revenue
  • Capture opportunities to grow our third-party gathering and processing business
  • Meaningfully reduce operating expenses to improve corporate netback
  • Deliver attractive ROI on value adding optimization projects included in the 2025 capital program
  • Reduce long term debt to improve financial flexibility

Due to the current outlook for North American natural gas prices, Cavvy is not planning to resume development drilling in 2025, but is currently participating in a low working interest, non-operated gas well targeting the liquids rich Cretaceous in Central AB that spud in October. The Company will only develop its portfolio of high impact conventional Foothills drilling opportunities once natural gas prices sustainably recover and the Company has achieved its deleveraging target.

HEDGE POSITION

Cavvy hedges to mitigate commodity price, interest rate and foreign exchange volatility to protect the cash flow required to fund the Company’s operations, capital requirements and debt service obligations, while maintaining exposure to commodity price upside. Cavvy continues to execute its risk management program governed by its hedge policy and in compliance with the thresholds required by senior lenders.

The Company has 110,000 GJ/d of its remaining 2025 natural gas production hedged at a weighted average fixed price of $3.32/GJ, and 1,641 bbl/d of its remaining 2025 condensate production hedged with a weighted average floor price of $84.67/bbl and a weighted average ceiling price of $92.05/bbl. The Company’s aggregate hedge position for the remainder of 2025 totals 19,017 boe/d, or approximately 80% of the production guidance range.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company is hedged in accordance with the requirements of its senior loan agreements. The discounted unrealized gain on the Company’s hedge portfolio at November 6, 2025 was approximately $22.5 million using the forward strip on November 5, 2025.

Additional Reader Advisories
Barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 boe is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
