Exhibit 99.1 · the passage around this item
… earlier in the release
“During the quarter, despite external headwinds and associated oil volume shut-ins, Matador exceeded its expected range for oil production (123,000 to 125,000 barrels of oil per day) and delivered record average oil production of 126,106 barrels of oil per day. On the strength of this performance, we have increased our full-year 2026 outlook for oil from 4% growth up to 7% year-over-year oil production growth. In addition, Matador grew its total proved oil and natural gas reserves 5%, from 667 million barrels of oil equivalent (“BOE”) at December 31, 2025 to a record 703 million BOE at June 30, 2026. The Company also generated net cash provided by operating activities of $937.1 million, leading to near-record adjusted free cash flow of $303.2 million during the second quarter of 2026, nearly tripling first quarter 2026 adjusted free cash flow of $113.3 million. This cash flow generation allowed Matador to repay over $200 million of borrowings associated with the Federal lease sale in May 2026. Strategic Transformational Acquisitions “We successfully executed on four of our strategic catalysts during the first half of 2026 including: 1. May 2026, Federal Lease Sale . Acquired 5,154 net undeveloped acres located in what we believe to be the most prolific areas of the Delaware Basin with nine or more prospective formations and added over 141 net operated locations. 2. June/July 2026, Cardinal Midstream Acquisition . San Mateo acquired Cardinal Midstream, which adds complementary midstream assets including (i) a cryogenic natural gas processing plant co
