Q1 Fiscal 2022 Dividend of $0.075 Per Share Represents 32^nd Consecutive Quarterly Cash Dividend

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / September 13, 2021 / Evolution Petroleum (NYSE American:EPM) ("Evolution" or the "Company") today declared a first quarter of fiscal 2022 cash dividend of $0.075 per share of common stock, which is payable September 30, 2021 to stockholders of record as of September 20, 2021.

Key Highlights of First Quarter of Fiscal 2022 Dividend Declaration

Dividend of $0.075 per share of common stock represents a 50% increase in rate and is 150% greater than the year ago rate;
The substantial increase is supported by improvements in commodity prices combined with the incremental operating cash flow from the May 2021 acquisition of non-operated liquids-rich natural gas assets in the Barnett Shale;
Declaration represents the 32^nd consecutive quarterly cash dividend since dividends were first initiated in 2013;
Including first quarter of fiscal 2022, Evolution will have paid over $77 million, or $2.34 per share, to stockholders as cash dividends.

Jason Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Maintaining and ultimately growing our common stock dividend and achieving disciplined growth in share value through accretive acquisitions are our key priorities. The material increase in our dividend announced today is supported by the addition of the Barnett Shale assets that diversified and substantially expanded our asset base with long life production located in favorable commodity markets, coupled with significant improvements in commodity prices. Together, these events have strengthened the sustainability of our company and dividend model and provided opportunities for further growth. We view this increase in dividend as continuing evidence of Evolution's clear alignment with the long-term interests of our shareholders and intent to further grow the quarterly dividend, as appropriate. This disciplined and conservative business strategy has also allowed us to provide a quarterly cash return to shareholders for nearly eight years, which we consider to be a remarkable achievement for an upstream independent energy company."
