- The company generated $91 million of adjusted EBITDAX, surpassing internal projections, highlighting successful strategic focus on geographic and hydrocarbon diversity.
- Granite Ridge's cost structure improved significantly, with LOE reported at $6.17 per BOE, 13% lower than the previous year, enhancing cash flow and shareholder returns.
- The company's diversification strategy proved valuable, with approximately 75% of production hedged through 2026, maintaining a low leverage ratio of 0.7x net-debt-to-adjusted-EBITDAX.
- Granite Ridge's Operated Partnership program showed substantial growth, with a 400% increase in gross daily operated oil production in the Delaware Basin.

- Market volatility has led Granite Ridge to proceed with a base case CapEx of $310 million instead of an accelerated scenario, potentially limiting growth opportunities.
- The company faces challenges in maintaining oil production levels as gas production outperforms, leading to a lower oil cut.
- Granite Ridge's decision to scale back to one rig in the Delaware Basin reflects caution in response to uncertain market conditions.
