Pine Cliff Energy Ltd. (TSX:PNE) reported a net loss of CAD 7.1 million or CAD 0.02 per share for the second quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of CAD 4.1 million for the same quarter in 2024. The decline in financial performance was driven by lower natural gas prices and a year-over-year drop in production.

Adjusted funds flow for the quarter was CAD 4.9 million (CAD 0.01 per share), down from CAD 10.8 million (CAD 0.03 per share) in Q2 2024. For the first half of 2025, adjusted funds flow totaled CAD 16.4 million, compared to CAD 21.3 million in the same period last year. Production averaged 21,236 Boe/d for the quarter, representing a 10% year-over-year decline, attributed to natural declines and temporary shut-ins related to weak AECO gas pricing in June.

Despite the production drop, Pine Cliff realized a natural gas price of CAD2.48/Mcf in Q2 2025—significantly higher than the AECO Daily 5A average of CAD1.68/Mcf—due to its active physical hedging program. Approximately 54% of the company's natural gas production and 43% of crude oil production are hedged through the second half of 2025, with the latter at an average price of USD 64.15/Bbl.

Capital expenditures reached CAD 2.3 million during the quarter and CAD 3.6 million for the first half of 2025, focused mainly on facility and maintenance work. Pine Cliff reaffirmed its 2025 capital budget of CAD 23.5 million, including CAD 12.5 million allocated for development activities.

The company paid out CAD 1.3 million in dividends in Q2 2025, or CAD 0.004 per share, down from CAD 5.4 million in the same quarter last year. For the first six months of the year, dividend payouts totaled CAD 6.7 million, compared to CAD 14.9 million in the prior-year period.

Net debt decreased by 5% to CAD 58.9 million as of June 30, 2025, down from CAD 62.3 million at the end of 2024. Pine Cliff continues to prioritize financial discipline and cash flow protection as it navigates a volatile commodity price environment.
