Advantage Announces Third Quarter 2026 Results

(TSX: AAV)

CALGARY, AB, Oct. 29, 2026 /CNW/ — Advantage Energy Ltd. (“Advantage” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to report third quarter 2026 financial and operating results.

The financial and operating highlights presented below are for Advantage only and exclude its subsidiary Entropy Inc.

2026 Third Quarter Financial Highlights

• Cash provided by operating and investing activities was $100.0 million and $230.7 million, respectively.
• Adjusted funds flow^(a) of $96.8 million or $0.58/share.
• Closed the disposition of our assets in the Wembley area (the “Wembley Assets”) for total cash proceeds of $325.4 million after closing adjustments, including the reimbursement of certain capital expenditures, and recognized a gain on disposition of $90.1 million.
• Exploration and development expenditures^(a) of $60.9 million.
• Our cost structure improved significantly compared to the second quarter of 2026, reflecting a more focused asset base, increased utilization of owned infrastructure, and reduced leverage.
  • Operating expense per boe^(a) of $4.86, a reduction of 16%.
  • Transportation expense per boe^(a) of $3.71, a reduction of 10%.
  • General and administrative plus interest expense per boe^(a) of $1.73, a reduction of 41%.
• Net debt^(a) of $233.0 million, a decrease of $327.2 million, or 58% from the second quarter of 2026, reflecting the application of proceeds from the disposition of the Wembley Assets.
• Generated free cash flow^(a) of $35.9 million, which was dedicated to shareholder returns through share repurchases, consistent with Advantage’s capital allocation strategy.

2026 Third Quarter Operating Highlights

• Average production of 86,964 boe/d (452.0 MMcf/d natural gas, 11,623 bbls/d liquids), a 23% increase from the second quarter of 2026, following commissioning of the Progress Gas Plant and completion of the 21-day planned turnaround at our Glacier Gas Plant in the second quarter.
• Liquids production of 11,623 bbls/d (6,293 bbls/d crude oil, 1,332 bbls/d condensate, and 3,998 bbls/d NGLs), an 8% decrease from the second quarter of 2026 due to the sale of the Wembley Assets and natural declines.
• Drilled 2 gross (2.0 net) Montney wells at Progress, offsetting our successful 16-36 well that was drilled in 2019. Both wells were completed and tested subsequent to the end of the third quarter.
• Completed 3 gross (2.9 net) wells at Glacier, with 4 gross (3.8 net) wells brought on production. Glacier continues to deliver strong results, with wells brought on production in 2026 achieving average IP30 rates of 16.0 MMcf/d raw natural gas.

Progress Montney Update

Our two-well 5-32 pad was completed in early October. Initial test rates over 48 hours and 62 hours, respectively, delivered encouraging results. Both wells demonstrated higher length-normalized productivity than our successful 16-36 well, which was drilled in 2019. The 16-36 well achieved an IP30 of over 1,100 bbl/d of oil and liquids and has produced approximately 265 Mbbl of oil and liquids to date. The new wells at 5-32 were subsequently shut-in, equipped and brought on production on October 27. Advantage expects to provide IP30 results in early December.

Marketing Update

Advantage has hedged approximately 46% of forecasted natural gas production for the fourth quarter of 2026, 37% in 2027, 35% in 2028, and 15% in 2029. Direct AECO exposure has fallen to approximately 12% in the fourth quarter of 2026, 16% in 2027, and 8% in 2028 due to our hedging and market diversification initiatives.

Advantage has also hedged approximately 54% of forecasted crude oil and NGL production for the fourth quarter of 2026 and 34% in 2027.

Productivity Mega Deduction

On September 15, 2026, the Department of Finance announced the proposed Productivity Mega Deduction, which would allow companies to immediately deduct most new capital investment and development expenditures rather than deducting these costs over time. This is expected to defer Advantage becoming cash taxable to 2031 from its previous estimate of 2028, based on current plans and commodity prices.

Looking Forward

Advantage is focused on maximizing shareholder returns. Following the sale of the Wembley Assets and the substantial completion of our 2026 capital program, all free cash flow^(a) is being dedicated to share repurchases, allowing us to repurchase up to 5% of our common shares outstanding in the second half of 2026 and up to an additional 10% in 2027. Advantage has already repurchased approximately 6.0 million shares so far in 2026, representing 3.6% of our shares outstanding as of December 31, 2025.

Advantage expects to retain substantial financial flexibility even after fulfilling our share buyback commitment, allowing us to advance liquids-rich development in the Montney at Progress and Valhalla and in the Charlie Lake, all of which are supported by our new 75 mmcf/d owned and operated Progress Gas Plant.

In the Progress Montney, we plan to follow up our successful 5-32 pad by drilling two additional wells in the first quarter of 2027.

In the Valhalla Montney, Advantage’s three-well pad, which came on-stream in the second quarter of 2026, delivered an average IP90 of 1,093 boe/d including 35% liquids (4.3 MMcf/d natural gas, 289 bbls/d condensate, and 94 bbls/d NGLs).

In the Charlie Lake, industry peers have been implementing open hole multi-lateral (“OHML”) well designs that have delivered strong productivity with reduced capital costs. Given those encouraging results, Advantage has elected to drill its first Charlie Lake OHML in the fourth quarter of 2026, funded by the additional proceeds received from the Wembley disposition.

Advantage has identified over 1,000 drilling locations across our liquids-rich Progress, Valhalla and Charlie Lake assets, representing approximately half of our total drilling inventory, including over 300 currently identified Tier 1 locations. We expect to release our formal 2027 budget in early December, together with an updated three-year plan which will focus on developing this significant liquids-rich inventory.

Advantage wishes to thank our employees, board of directors, and shareholders for their ongoing support.

Readers are cautioned that the foregoing lists of factors are not exhaustive.

The future acquisition by the Corporation of the Corporation’s shares pursuant to a share buyback program, if any (including Advantage’s NCIB), and the level thereof is uncertain. Any decision to implement a share buyback program or acquire shares of the Corporation will be subject to the discretion of the board of directors of the Corporation and may depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the Corporation’s business performance, financial condition, financial requirements, growth plans, expected capital requirements and other conditions existing at such future time including, without limitation, contractual restrictions, satisfaction of the solvency tests imposed on the Corporation under applicable corporate law and receipt of regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will buyback any shares of the Corporation in the future.

Management has included the above summary of assumptions and risks related to forward-looking information above and in its continuous disclosure filings on SEDAR+ in order to provide shareholders with a more complete perspective on Advantage’s future operations and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Advantage’s actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits that Advantage will derive there from. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing lists of factors are not exhaustive. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this press release and Advantage disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, other than as required by applicable securities laws.

This press release contains information that may be considered a financial outlook under applicable securities laws about the Corporation’s potential financial position, including, but not limited to that Advantage expects to become cash taxable in 2031, all of which are subject to numerous assumptions, risk factors, limitations and qualifications, including those set forth in the above paragraphs. The actual results of operations of the Corporation and the resulting financial results will vary from the amounts set forth in this press release and such variations may be material. This information has been provided for illustration only and with respect to future periods are based on budgets and forecasts that are speculative and are subject to a variety of contingencies and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Accordingly, these estimates are not to be relied upon as indicative of future results. Except as required by applicable securities laws, the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update such financial outlook. The financial outlook contained in this press release was made as of the date of this press release and was provided for the purpose of providing further information about the Corporation’s potential future business operations. Readers are cautioned that the financial outlook contained in this press release is not conclusive and is subject to change.

Oil and Gas Information

Barrels of oil equivalent (boe) and thousand cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (mcfe) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. Boe and mcfe conversion ratios have been calculated using a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas equivalent to one barrel of oil. A boe and mcfe conversion ratio of 6 mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

This press release contains several oil and gas metrics, including operating netback, which are described below under “Specified Financial Measures”. Such oil and gas metrics have been prepared by management and do not have standardized meanings or standard methods of calculation and therefore such measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies and should not be used to make comparisons. Such metrics have been included herein to provide readers with additional measures to evaluate the Corporation’s performance; however, such measures are not reliable indicators of the future performance of the Corporation and future performance may not compare to the performance in previous periods and therefore such metrics should not be unduly relied upon. Management uses these oil and gas metrics for its own performance measurements and to provide shareholders with measures to compare the Corporation’s operations over time. Readers are cautioned that the information provided by these metrics, or that can be derived from the metrics presented in this press release, should not be relied upon for investment or other purposes.

References in this press release to short-term production rates, such as IP30 and IP90, are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however such rates are not determinative of the rates at which such wells will commence production and decline thereafter and are not indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. Additionally, such rates may also include recovered “load oil” fluids used in well completion stimulation. While encouraging, readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating the aggregate production of Advantage.

McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. (“McDaniel”) was engaged as an independent qualified reserve evaluator to evaluate Advantage’s year-end reserves as of December 31, 2025 (“McDaniel 2025 Reserves Report”) in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 (“NI 51-101”) and the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (“COGE Handbook”).

This press release discloses drilling inventory in three categories: (i) proved locations; (ii) probable locations; and (iii) unbooked locations. Booked locations include both proved locations and probable locations that are derived from the McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. reserves evaluations effective December 31, 2025 and account for drilling locations that have associated proved and/or probable reserves, as applicable. Unbooked locations are internal estimates based on our prospective acreage and an assumption as to the number of wells that can be drilled per section based on industry practice and internal review. Unbooked locations do not have attributed reserves or resources. Of the 1,055 total drilling locations identified in Progress, Valhalla and the Charlie Lake, 167 are proved locations, 30 are probable locations and 858 are unbooked locations. Unbooked locations have been identified by Management as an estimation of our multi-year drilling activities based on evaluation of applicable geologic, seismic, engineering, production and reserves information. There is no certainty that the Corporation will drill all unbooked drilling locations and if drilled there is no certainty that such locations will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production. The drilling locations on which we actually drill wells will ultimately depend upon the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, seasonal restrictions, oil and natural gas prices, costs, actual drilling results, additional reservoir information that is obtained and other factors. While certain of the unbooked drilling locations have been de-risked by drilling existing wells in relative close proximity to such unbooked drilling locations, other unbooked drilling locations are farther away from existing wells where management has less information about the characteristics of the reservoir and therefore there is more uncertainty whether wells will be drilled in such locations and if drilled there is more uncertainty that such wells will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production.

Specified Financial Measures

Throughout this press release, Advantage discloses certain measures to analyze financial performance, financial position, and cash flow. These non-GAAP and other financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. The non-GAAP and other financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful than GAAP measures which are determined in accordance with IFRS, such as net income and comprehensive income, cash provided by operating activities, and cash used in investing activities, as indicators of Advantage’s performance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Funds Flow

The Corporation considers adjusted funds flow to be a useful measure of Advantage’s ability to generate cash from the production of natural gas and liquids, which may be used to settle outstanding debt and obligations, support future capital expenditures plans, or return capital to shareholders. Changes in non-cash working capital are excluded from adjusted funds flow as they may vary significantly between periods and are not considered to be indicative of the Corporation’s operating performance as they are a function of the timeliness of collecting receivables and paying payables. Expenditures on decommissioning liabilities are excluded from the calculation as the amount and timing of these expenditures are unrelated to current production and are partially discretionary given the Corporation’s relatively low decommissioning liability.

A reconciliation of the most directly comparable financial measure has been provided below:

Net Capital Expenditures and Exploration and Development Expenditures

Net capital expenditures include total capital expenditures related to property, plant and equipment, exploration and evaluation assets and intangible assets, including the impacts of assets acquisitions and dispositions. Management considers this measure reflective of actual capital activity for the period as it excludes changes in working capital related to other periods and investment in other assets.

Additionally, the Corporation presents exploration and development expenditures, which excludes the impacts of assets acquisitions and dispositions.  Management considers this a useful measure as it reflects capital invested in the organic growth and development of the Corporation’s asset base.

A reconciliation of the most directly comparable financial measure has been provided below:

Free Cash Flow

The Corporation computes free cash flow as adjusted funds flow less net capital expenditures excluding the impact of asset acquisitions and dispositions, and investments in other assets. The Corporation uses free cash flow as an indicator of the efficiency and liquidity of the Corporation’s business by measuring its cash available after net capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions and dispositions, to settle outstanding debt and obligations and potentially return capital to shareholders by paying dividends or buying back Common Shares. The Corporation excludes the impact of acquisitions and dispositions, and investments in other assets as they are not representative of the free cash flow generated and used in the Corporation’s natural gas and liquids and carbon capture operations. A reconciliation of the most directly comparable financial measure has been provided below:

 

Operating Income

Operating income for Advantage’s natural gas and liquids operations is comprised of natural gas and liquids sales, realized gains (losses) on derivatives, net sales of purchased natural gas, less expenses resulting from field operations including royalty expense, operating expense and transportation expense. Operating income provides Management and users with a measure to compare the profitability of Advantage’s field operations across companies, development areas and specific wells. The composition of operating income is as follows:

Non-GAAP Ratios

Adjusted Funds Flow per Basic Share & Adjusted Funds Flow per Diluted Share

Adjusted funds flow per share is calculated by dividing adjusted funds flow, by segment, by the basic weighted average shares outstanding and the adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The Corporation adjusted diluted weighted average shares to be calculated based on adjusted funds flow and to include only dilutive instruments that Management considers likely to be dilutive as at the balance sheet date, based on the current economic situation. Performance Share Units are included in adjusted diluted shares as they are expected to be settled in Common Shares. Convertible debentures are excluded until such time that the share price of the Corporation is greater than the conversion price as it avoids overstating dilution in periods where instruments are out-of-the-money and not economically viable to convert. Management believes that adjusted funds flow per share and per diluted share provides investors an indicator of funds generated from the business that could be allocated to each shareholder’s equity position.

Adjusted Funds Flow per boe

Adjusted funds flow per boe is derived by dividing adjusted funds flow attributed to Advantage by the total production in boe for the reporting period.  Adjusted funds flow per boe is a useful ratio that allows users to compare the Corporation’s adjusted funds flow against other corporations with different rates of production.

Operating netback

Operating netback is derived by dividing operating income by the total production in boe for the reporting period. Operating netback provides Management and users with a measure to compare the profitability of field operations across companies, development areas and specific wells against other corporations with different rates of production.

Capital Management Measures

Working Capital

Working capital is a capital management financial measure that provides Management and users with a measure of the Corporation’s short-term operating liquidity. By excluding current derivatives, financing liability, provisions and other liabilities and unsecured debentures, Management and users can determine if the Corporation’s operations are sufficient to cover the short-term operating requirements.  Working capital is not a standardized measure and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other entities.

A summary of working capital as at September 30, 2026, December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025 is as follows:

Net Debt

Net debt is a capital management financial measure that provides Management and users with a measure to assess the Corporation’s liquidity. Net debt is not a standardized measure and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other entities.

A summary of the reconciliation of net debt as at September 30, 2026, December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025 is as follows:

Supplementary financial measures

“Average realized prices (including realized derivatives) natural gas” is comprised of natural gas sales, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Corporation’s natural gas production.

“Average realized prices (including realized derivatives) liquids” is comprised of crude oil, condensate and NGL’s sales, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Corporation’s crude oil, condensate and NGL’s production.

“Natural gas and liquids sales per boe“ is comprised of natural gas sales and liquids sales, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Corporation’s total natural gas and liquids production.

“Net sales of purchased natural gas per boe” is comprised of net sales of purchased natural gas, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Corporation’s total natural gas and liquids production.

“Operating expense per boe” is comprised of operating expense, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Corporation’s total production.

“Realized gains on derivatives per boe” is comprised of realized gains (losses) on derivatives, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Corporation’s total production.

“Royalty expense per boe” is comprised of royalty expense, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Corporation’s total production.

“Transportation expense per boe” is comprised of transportation expense, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Corporation’s total production.

“General and administrative plus interest expense per boe” is comprised of general and administrative expense plus interest expense, as determined in accordance with IFRS, divided by the Corporation’s total production.
