- The company increased its liquids weighting from 55% to 66% over five years, with high-value liquids production contributing 90% of total revenue in 2025.
- The US portfolio, benefiting from premium pricing and higher liquids weighting, accounted for 53% of revenue, with US natural gas receiving an 80% premium over Canadian prices.
- Freehold Royalties Ltd (FRHLF) generated $235 million in funds from operations, allowing for $177 million in dividends and an $18 million reduction in long-term debt.
- The company invested $38 million in oil-focused royalty interest assets in the Permian Basin and Canada, with significant undeveloped resource and drilling inventory.
- Activity levels in the second half of 2025 were affected by lower commodity prices and cautious capital deployment due to macroeconomic headwinds and geopolitical tensions.
- The company faced continued multi-year weakness in Canadian natural gas prices, reducing gas-directed drilling on Canadian royalty lands.
- Production is expected to average between 15,500 and 16,300 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2026, reflecting a slowdown in activity experienced in 2025.
- The late January winter storm in the southern United States is expected to moderate volumes in the first half of 2026.
- The outlook does not consider potential impacts of recent geopolitical events in the Middle East, which could affect oil supply and pricing.
