AI and Asset Intelligence
Presidio applies a disciplined, data-driven playbook to modernize acquired oilfield operations. The Company transforms oil and gas assets into high-efficiency operations through repeatable systems and empowered field execution. The latest evolution of this efficiency is focused on the implementation of AI.
As such, Presidio has launched the organization of its operations into three integrated functions: an Asset Intelligence group of engineers and support staff with AI and analytics to drive field efficiencies; an Operations group running the assets day-to-day; and dedicated AI development at subsidiary FTW Technologies that builds tools, models, and insights the Asset Intelligence group uses to make better decisions faster. The Company also designated its first class of Presidio AI Astronauts, employees serving as internal ambassadors of the AI transformation across the organization.
The Asset Intelligence group carries a target of three to five percent production growth in 2026 across Presidio's existing asset base. Through the first four months of 2026, the Company has achieved an approximately one percent production uplift.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
This press release includes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Unhedged EBITDA, which are financial measures not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
Presidio defines Adjusted Unhedged EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to remove realized gains and losses on derivative instruments. This measure is intended to show our operating results without the impact of our hedging program. Management believes Adjusted Unhedged EBITDA is an important metric that provides valuable insight into the Company’s underlying operational performance by removing the effects of financing decisions, non-cash charges, and hedging activities. Adjusted Unhedged EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Unhedged EBITDA are not substitutes for, and should be considered in addition to, net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Unhedged EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Unhedged EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided below.
Presidio defines Net Debt as the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Company’s ABS notes, RBL borrowings and Trail Dust term loan, excluding lease obligations, less total cash (including restricted cash). Presidio defines Leverage as Net Debt divided by annualized Adjusted EBITDA, calculated by multiplying the applicable quarter’s Adjusted EBITDA by four. Management believes Net Debt and Leverage are useful to investors, analysts and rating agencies in evaluating the Company’s capital structure and ability to service its indebtedness. Net Debt and Leverage are supplemental non-GAAP measures, should not be considered alternatives to total debt or net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of Net Debt to total debt, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is set forth below.
The PV-10 present in this press release is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the present value of estimated future cash inflows from proved oil and gas reserves, less future development and production costs, discounted at 10% per annum to reflect the timing of future cash flows and utilizes an
