First Quarter Results

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $17.9 million, or $1.80 per diluted share, compared to $16.1 million, or $1.61 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Phil Frohlich, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, commented, “While the current environment contains its share of economic uncertainties and challenges, I'm encouraged by our current drilling activities and the results from recently completed wells. Additionally, our recent natural gas hedges are helping to stabilize cash flows amid price fluctuations. With a solid balance sheet and strong operational performance, we remain well-positioned to execute our long-term strategy of delivering value to our shareholders."
