Matador Resources — Feb 24, 2026 release

Exhibit 99.1 MATADOR RESOURCES COMPANY REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2025 RESULTS AND PROVIDES 2026 OPERATING PLAN AND MARKET GUIDANCE DALLAS, Texas, February 24, 2026 -- Matador Resources Company (NYSE: MTDR) (“Matador” or the “Company”) today reported financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 and provided an update on its 2026 operating plan and focus areas. A slide presentation summarizing the highlights of this release is included on the Company’s website at www.matadorresources.com on the Events and Presentations page under the Investor Relations tab. Management Summary Comments Joseph Wm. Foran, Matador’s Founder, Chairman and CEO and San Mateo’s Founder, noted, “2025 was another record year for Matador and San Mateo. Our team is excited to review our accomplishments as well as share the strategic priorities and expected catalysts for Matador and San Mateo in 2026, which include (i) improving capital efficiency, profitability and reduction in our reserve-based loan (RBL), (ii) midstream value realization, (iii) quality land acquisitions, reserves growth and decreased capital costs, (iv) recruiting, retaining and developing high-quality professionals and (v) maintaining a strong balance sheet. Improving Capital Efficiency, Profitability and Decreased Finding Costs “This year, our specific objectives are to continue to increase production, reduce capital spending and grow our midstream assets, while remaining opportunistic on acquisition opportunities that may arise. Altogether, Matador projects its drilling plans, capital efficiencies and other catalysts to drive a 2026 operating plan that grows oil production by approximately 3% to 123,000 barrels of oil per day, while reducing 2026 total capital expenditures by 11% to $1.50 billion. The ability to achieve this 3% oil production growth profile while reducing capital expenses illustrates Matador’s successful focus on operating efficiencies and inventory strength. “In this regard, Matador anticipates its 2026 drilling and completion cost to be approximately $795 per lateral foot, a 6% reduction compared to 2025, which would enable us to continue to further increase capital efficiency and decrease capital spending as planned. The expected decrease in capital spending from 2025 to 2026 is primarily attributable to anticipated operating efficiency improvements, including a 13% reduction in timing to drill and complete a well. Meanwhile, Matador expects to deliver 3% oil production growth in 2026 compared to 2025 while still turning to sales a similar amount of net lateral footage. As evidence of these asset and operating strengths, we achieved record total proved oil and natural gas reserves of 667.0 million BOE at December 31, 2025 (an increase of 9% from 611.5 million BOE at December 31, 2024), with a standardized measure of $7.0 billion and a PV-10 of $8.2 billion. The increase to our reserves—approximately 98% of which was organic in 2025—represents a reserve replacement ratio of 173%. The reserves replacement ratio was especially notable since future finding and development costs for our proved undeveloped reserves in our audited reserve report decreased 6% from $10.98 per BOE in 2024 to $10.34 per BOE in 2025. The proved reserves estimates are prepared by the Company’s internal engineering staff and audited by an independent reservoir engineering firm, Netherland, Sewell & Associates. 1 “As previously reported, Matador has secured 500 MMBtu per day of firm natural gas transportation on Energy Transfer’s new Hugh Brinson pipeline. This contractual deal with Energy Transfer is expected to be one of Matador’s most important transportation and marketing arrangements going forward. Energy Transfer expects this pipeline to begin flowing gas in the third quarter of 2026 and be fully in-service in the fourth quarter of 2026. The Hugh Brinson pipeline is expected to provide direct access for Matador from the Waha hub in the Permian Basin to the historically more profitable Henry Hub markets along the Louisiana Gulf Coast. The Hugh Brinson pipeline is also expected to help Matador access other key markets, including data centers supporting Artificial Intelligence (AI) and terminals for exports of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG). During 2025, average realized pricing at Henry Hub was as much as $3 higher than realized pricing at the Waha hub. Substantial market differentials such as these prices could provide significant additional revenue, as each $0.50 per MMBtu increase in realized natural gas price would increase Matador’s estimated annual revenue by approximately $90 million. “Matador is also pleased to report record fourth quarter 2025 production of 211,290 barrels of oil and natural equivalent (BOE) per day (121,363 barrels of oil per day), which constitutes an increase of 1% from the third quarter 2025 production of 209,184 BOE per day (119,556 barrels of oil per day). These record results were achieved despite significant market price difficulties for natural gas at the Waha hub in the fourth quarter of 2025. Midstream Value Realization “Matador’s midstream assets include (i) San Mateo, which is owned 51% by Matador and 49% by Five Point, and (ii) wholly-owned assets, which were largely acquired as part of the Advance acquisition in 2023 and the Ameredev acquisition in 2024. On a combined basis, San Mateo and Matador’s wholly-owned midstream assets had net income of $239 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $332 million for the full-year 2025. Through the continued operational improvements and the growth of both Matador and third-party volumes, we expect the combined Adjusted EBITDA of our midstream assets to grow 8% to $360 million in 2026. This profitability of the San Mateo assets in 2025 resulted in cash distributions to Matador of $137 million for its 51% interest in San Mateo and $13 million in performance incentives from Five Point. “In addition to growing our midstream business, we continue to explore other strategic transactions for San Mateo. Five Point has advised us that it is in the process of moving its 49% ownership in San Mateo into a continuation vehicle, which would allow us to continue building midstream value together. We are pleased that Five Point would like to continue our long-standing partnership, and we look forward to working with Five Point on various potential strategic transactions, including the combination of Matador’s wholly-owned midstream assets with San Mateo. Quality Land Acquisitions “In 2025, Matador’s land team added 17,500 net acres through our ‘brick-by-brick’ strategy, increasing our Delaware Basin acreage position to approximately 212,500 net acres. These efforts largely replaced the inventory that Matador drilled during 2025. As we begin 2026, Matador remains focused on strategically adding acreage in order to maintain 10 to 15 years of high-quality inventory in the Delaware Basin. Additionally, we believe our current Delaware Basin position offers further geologic upside. For example, we have identified prospective acreage targeting the Woodford shale, and plan to test the formation in the first half of 2026. 2 Maintaining a Strong Balance Sheet “Finally, at year-end 2025, Matador was able to maintain a strong financial position and achieve the production highlights noted above while still paying down approximately $200 million on our RBL credit facility and increasing our dividend for the seventh time in the past four years. Matador ended 2025 with a leverage ratio of 1.1 times and liquidity under the RBL of $1.8 billion. To further protect its balance sheet from oil-price volatility, the Company hedged approximately 50% of its projected 2026 oil production using costless collars at a weighted average floor price of approximately $53 per barrel and a weighted average ceiling price of approximately $66 per barrel. Closing Thoughts “Each of the above priorities and highlights demonstrate Matador’s various successful strategies based on operational excellence and profitable growth at a measured pace. Our ability to emerge stronger through volatile commodity cycles underscores the quality of our assets, the strength of our business relationships and the confidence the team has in the long-term outlook of our business and areas of interest. This outlook is further evidenced by management’s and the staff’s continued stock purchases as well as the participation by over 95% of all of our employees—field and office—in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). We look forward to discussing these results and answering your questions either on our conference call or in-person.” Operational and Financial Update Record Fourth Quarter 2025 Oil, Natural Gas and Total Oil Equivalent Production Matador’s average oil and natural gas production was 211,290 BOE per day in the fourth quarter of 2025, which was the highest in Matador’s history and 2% better than the midpoint of Matador’s expected fourth quarter production guidance of 206,500 BOE per day. The primary drivers behind this outperformance were increased production from new wells turned to sales in Matador’s Arrowhead and Ranger asset areas. Matador achieved these record results despite shutting in ~4,000 BOE per day in the fourth quarter of 2025 due to weak natural gas pricing at the Waha hub. Most of these shut-in volumes were forecasted as part of the Company’s fourth quarter 2025 production guidance. Production Q4 2025 Average Daily Volume Q4 2025 Guidance Range (1) Difference (2) Sequential YoY Total, BOE per day 211,290 205,000 to 208,000 +2% Better than Guidance +1% +5% Oil, Bbl per day 121,363 119,000 to 121,000 +1% Better than Guidance +2% +2% Natural Gas, MMcf per day 539.6 516.0 to 522.0 +4% Better than Guidance <+1% +9% (1) Production range previously projected, as provided on October 21, 2025. (2) As compared to midpoint of guidance provided on October 21, 2025. Fourth Quarter 2025 Operating Expenses For the fourth quarter of 2025, lease operating expenses (LOE), production taxes, transportation and processing expenses (PTTP), depletion, depreciation and amortization expense (DD&A) and general and administrative expenses (G&A) were all better than expected. Midstream operating expenses for 2025 were at the midpoint of the full-year 2025 guidance range. In total, operating expenses per BOE were 8% better than expected for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 4% better than the fourth quarter of 2024, as Matador continues to focus on efficiency and improved operating margins. 3 To better segregate costs between controllable costs and taxes, Matador reclassified taxes other than those related to income tax into one line for all periods presented in the income statement and will report under this new presentation going forward. This reclassification includes certain taxes previously included in lease operating and midstream operating expenses, as well as production taxes that were previously included with transportation and processing expenses. Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Capital Expenditures For the fourth quarter of 2025, operations exceeded expectations. Matador’s capital expenditures (CapEx) for drilling, completing and equipping wells (D/C/E) were $356.1 million and midstream CapEx were $22.6 million. Matador turned to sales 30.4 net operated wells during the fourth quarter of 2025; almost three more wells than the 27.5 net operated wells expected, as they were pulled forward from the first quarter of 2026. Full-year 2025 D/C/E CapEx of $1.53 billion was within Matador’s expected range while still delivering 129.4 net wells, an increase of 8.1 net wells turned to sales as compared to initial full-year guidance provided in February 2025 while growing production 21% year-over-year. Midstream Update San Mateo’s operations in the fourth quarter of 2025 were highlighted by record operating and financial results. San Mateo distributed $35.7 million to Matador during the fourth quarter of 2025 to bring total distributions from San Mateo to Matador of $136.7 million for full-year 2025. The table below sets forth San Mateo’s throughput volumes, as compared to the third quarter of 2025 and the fourth quarter of 2024 . Sequential (Q4 2025 vs. Q3 2025) YoY (Q4 2025 vs. Q4 2024) San Mateo Throughput Volumes Q4 2025 Q3 2025 Change Q4 2025 Q4 2024 Change Natural gas gathering, MMcf per day 559 530 +5% 559 454 +23% Natural gas processing, MMcf per day 530 533 -1% 530 434 +22% Oil gathering and transportation, Bbl per day 54,100 58,400 -7% 54,100 63,000 -14% Produced water handling, Bbl per day 422,600 413,700 +2% 422,600 470,100 -10% San Mateo’s natural gas gathering volumes in the fourth quarter of 2025 were an all-time quarterly high despite Matador shutting in wells from time to time due to weak natural gas pricing at the Waha hub. The sequential and year-over-year decline in oil gathering and transportation volumes reflects more Matador activity outside of Eddy County, New Mexico and Loving County, Texas, where San Mateo’s oil assets are located. The year-over-year decline in produced water handling volumes reflects multiple large flowback projects in the fourth quarter of 2024. 4 Full Year 2026 Guidance Summary Matador’s full-year 2026 guidance estimates are summarized in the table below, as compared to the actual results for 2025, which highlight a 3% increase in oil production, an 11% total D/C/E and midstream CapEx reduction and a similar amount of net lateral footage turned to sales of ~1.25 million net lateral feet. Guidance Metric Actual 2025 Results 2026 Guidance Range % YoY Change (1) Oil Production 119,723 Bbl/d 122,000 to 124,000 Bbl/d +3% Natural Gas Production 524.1 MMcf/d 525.0 to 545.0 MMcf/d +2% Oil Equivalent Production 207,070 BOE/d 209,500 to 215,000 BOE/d +3% Total operating expenses per BOE (2) $30.41 $30.00 to $31.00 FLAT Current income taxes (% of pretax income) 0.7  % 0% to 0.5% (64) % D/C/E CapEx $1.53 billion $1.35 to $1.44 billion (9) % Midstream CapEx (3) $167.9 million $100 to $110 million (37) % Total D/C/E and Midstream CapEx $1.69 billion $1.45 to $1.55 billion (11) % (1) Represents percentage change from 2025 actual results to the midpoint of 2026 guidance range. (2) Includes non-cash operating expenses in 2025 of $15.82 per BOE for DD&A and $0.24 per BOE for non-cash G&A expenses, respectively, and estimated non-cash operating expenses in 2026 of $15.50 to $15.80 per BOE for DD&A and $0.20 to $0.30 per BOE for non-cash G&A expenses, respectively. (3) Includes Matador’s share of estimated CapEx for San Mateo and other wholly-owned midstream projects. Oil, Natural Gas and Oil Equivalent Production Growth and Anticipated Cadence Matador expects full-year 2026 production of 122,000 to 124,000 barrels of oil per day and 525 to 545 million cubic feet of natural gas per day, resulting in 209,500 to 215,000 BOE per day. This expectation is in-line with daily oil growth estimates provided in October 2025 of 3% improvement to full-year 2025 actual production, despite the impacts of the January winter weather discussed below. Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 Production Comparison Period Average Daily Total Production, BOE per day Average Daily Oil Production, Bbl per day Average Daily Natural Gas Production, MMcf per day % Oil Q4 2025 211,290 121,363 539.6 57% Q1 2026E 201,000 to 205,000 115,500 to 117,500 515.0 to 525.0 57% Production in the first quarter is expected to be the lowest quarter for 2026 with a significant increase expected beginning in the second quarter and then further steady increases in volumes throughout the remainder of 2026. Forecasted volumes were previously expected to be consistent from the fourth quarter of 2025 to the first quarter of 2026 due to the timing of wells being turned to sales as a result of larger batch developments of longer-lateral wells. Matador expects to turn to sales ~39 gross (34 net) operated wells during the first quarter of 2026, of which only 11 net operated wells were turned to sales by mid-February. The remaining 23 net operated wells are expected to be 5 turned to sales in March 2026, which will contribute fully to production beginning in the second quarter of 2026. The first quarter production forecast was revised lower due to: • actual weather-related shut-in volumes during the January winter storm Fern of ~4,000 BOE per day (60% oil), • expected elective shut-in of volumes due to weak Waha pricing of ~3,000 BOE per day (20% oil), and • expected scheduled maintenance on a third-party treatment plant of ~2,000 BOE per day (60% oil). D&C Costs Per Completed Lateral Foot and Operating Efficiency Improvements in 2026 Matador anticipates 2026 drilling and completion costs to be $785 to $805 per lateral foot, a 6% reduction compared to 2025. This reduction is driven by improvements in daily drilling and completion footage, which are expected to reduce average well cycle times by ~13%. These, and other facility and equipping efficiencies, contribute to the estimated $130 million D/C/E CapEx reduction in 2026 from $1.53 billion in 2025 to $1.40 billion in 2026. Additional efficiencies will be driven in 2026 by large-scale batch developments similar to the 17-well John Callahan development brought online in third quarter 2025, as previously reported in Matador’s January 2026 press release. We expect these batch development projects to account for ~50% of our net lateral footage turned to sales, an increase from 40% from 2025. For example, we expect a batch of 13 wells, including Matador’s first 3.4-mile lateral wells, to be drilled on our Eastern Antelope Ridge acreage, acquired from Ameredev, and turned-to-sales in the first half of 2026. These wells will contribute to our ~10% expected increase in 2026 average lateral length as compared to 2025. In addition to our anticipated 2026 operating efficiencies, Matador remains focused on inventory accretion, reserve replacement, artificial intelligence integration and improved production recoveries. These initiatives and efficiency improvements are central to our strategically balanced 2026 operating plan, which advances development across our diversified Delaware Basin portfolio and includes exploratory and extension tests such as in the Woodford shale. Matador has also conducted preliminary testing of enhanced completion surfactants in 2025. In light of these encouraging test results, Matador plans to expand the program in 2026 and 2027, with initial funding included in the 2026 capital budget. Early production results from 2025 tests showed improved recoveries in certain formations compared to the 150-day cumulative production on control wells. Midstream Capital Expenditures Matador estimates total 2026 midstream CapEx of $100 to $110 million. This estimate includes (i) $50 to $60 million for Matador’s 51% share of San Mateo’s 2026 estimated CapEx of $100 to $115 million and (ii) $50 to $60 million for other wholly-owned midstream projects, including infrastructure and facility expansions and upgrades associated with three-stream gathering systems in the Eastern Antelope Ridge acreage. San Mateo’s 2026 CapEx primarily includes capital required for the pipelines and related infrastructure to connect San Mateo’s three-stream pipeline system to Matador and third-party customers in Lea and Eddy Counties, New Mexico. First Quarter 2026 Estimated Capital Expenditures and Anticipated Cadence Matador expects D/C/E and midstream CapEx will be front-loaded in the first half of 2026 with 55 to 60% of the full-year 2026 guidance of $1.5 billion, including ~$425 million of total CapEx in the first quarter of 2026, due to an increased number of large-batch and longer-lateral completions noted above. 6 Shareholder Returns During 2025, Matador returned a total of $218.9 million to shareholders through a combination of $163.1 million in fixed dividends and $55.8 million of share repurchases under its $400 million share repurchase program. At current commodity prices, Matador expects to generate significant cash flow in 2026 and be able to pay and potentially increase the dividend, allowing it to continue returning a similar amount of cash to shareholders in 2026 as in 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, such as securities analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. “GAAP” means Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA helps it evaluate its operating performance and compare its results of operations from period to period without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. The Company defines, on a consolidated basis and for San Mateo, Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depletion, depreciation and amortization, accretion of asset retirement obligations, property impairments, unrealized derivative gains and losses, non-recurring transaction costs for certain acquisitions, certain other non-cash items and non-cash stock-based compensation expense and net gain or loss on asset sales and impairment. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income or net cash provided by operating activities as determined by GAAP. All references to Matador’s Adjusted EBITDA are those values attributable to Matador Resources Company shareholders after giving effect to Adjusted EBITDA attributable to third-party non-controlling interests, including in San Mateo. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or net cash provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components of understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. The following table presents the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measures of net income and net cash provided by operating activities, respectively, that are of a historical nature. Where references are pro forma, forward-looking, preliminary or prospective in nature, and not based on historical fact, the table does not provide a reconciliation. The Company could not provide such reconciliation without undue hardship because such Adjusted EBITDA numbers are estimations, approximations and/or ranges. In addition, it would be difficult for the Company to present a detailed reconciliation on account of many unknown variables for the reconciling items, including future income taxes, full-cost ceiling impairments, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives and gains or losses on asset sales and impairment. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results. 14 Adjusted EBITDA – Matador Resources Company Three Months Ended Year Ended (In thousands) December 31, 2025 September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Unaudited Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation to Net Income: Net income attributable to Matador Resources Company shareholders $ 192,547  $ 176,364  $ 214,533  $ 759,221  $ 885,322  Net income attributable to non-controlling interest in subsidiaries 22,992  24,260  23,416  101,548  86,021  Net income 215,539  200,624  237,949  860,769  971,343  Interest expense 55,045  50,641  59,970  208,520  171,687  Total income tax (benefit) provision (25,836) 59,128  62,279  172,675  292,364  Depletion, depreciation and amortization 305,511  305,354  293,234  1,195,358  974,300  Accretion of asset retirement obligations 2,204  2,148  1,768  7,846  6,027  Unrealized (gain) loss on derivatives (30,374) (19,952) 12,065  (18,084) (13,299) Non-cash stock-based compensation expense 3,686  6,181  4,891  18,327  14,982  Net loss on asset sales and impairment —  589  —  589  —  Non-recurring expense (income) 114  (1,866) 2,244  (7,338) 5,420  Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA 525,889  602,847  674,400  2,438,662  2,422,824  Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interest in subsidiaries (36,321) (36,332) (33,550) (144,111) (124,047) Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Matador Resources Company shareholders $ 489,568  $ 566,515  $ 640,850  $ 2,294,551  $ 2,298,777  Three Months Ended Year Ended (In thousands) December 31, 2025 September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Unaudited Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating activities $ 474,449  $ 721,660  $ 574,959  $ 2,425,015  $ 2,246,885  Net change in operating assets and liabilities 938  (123,282) 40,336  (176,189) (13,080) Interest expense, net of non-cash portion 51,310  46,948  55,723  193,756  155,154  Current income tax provision (benefit) 353  (39,335) 779  7,088  27,059  Net loss on asset sales and impairment —  589  —  589  —  Other non-cash and non-recurring (income) expense (1,161) (3,733) 2,603  (11,597) 6,806  Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interest in subsidiaries (36,321) (36,332) (33,550) (144,111) (124,047) Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Matador Resources Company shareholders $ 489,568  $ 566,515  $ 640,850  $ 2,294,551  $ 2,298,777  15 Adjusted EBITDA – San Mateo (100%) Three Months Ended Year Ended (In thousands) December 31, 2025 September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Unaudited Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation to Net Income: Net income $ 46,924  $ 49,509  $ 47,786  $ 207,242  $ 175,557  Depletion, depreciation and amortization 15,570  13,213  9,746  50,751  37,667  Interest expense 12,172  10,933  9,870  37,890  37,368  Accretion of asset retirement obligations 134  119  108  484  405  Net loss on impairment —  372  —  372  —  Non-recurring (income) expense (675) —  960  (2,635) 2,160  Adjusted EBITDA $ 74,125  $ 74,146  $ 68,470  $ 294,104  $ 253,157  Three Months Ended Year Ended (In thousands) December 31, 2025 September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Unaudited Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating activities $ 43,885  $ 99,417  $ 40,477  $ 248,193  $ 193,030  Net change in operating assets and liabilities 17,867  (36,090) 17,561  10,821  21,825  Interest expense, net of non-cash portion 11,643  10,447  9,472  35,948  36,142  Other non-cash and non-recurring expense (income) 730  372  960  (858) 2,160  Adjusted EBITDA $ 74,125  $ 74,146  $ 68,470  $ 294,104  $ 253,157  Adjusted EBITDA – Combined Midstream (100%) Year Ended (In thousands) December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Matador Midstream (1) Unaudited Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation to Net Income: Net income $ 32,170  $ 27,572  Depletion, depreciation and amortization 5,585  5,451  Accretion of asset retirement obligations 21  20  Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Matador Midstream (1) $ 37,776  $ 33,043  Adjusted EBITDA attributable to San Mateo $ 294,104  $ 253,157  Adjusted EBITDA -

This non-GAAP financial information is provided as additional information for investors and is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP financial measures. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may be different than similar measures used by other companies. The Company believes the presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted common share provides useful information to investors, as it provides them an additional relevant comparison of the Company’s performance across periods and to the performance of the Company’s peers. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments for items of income and expense that are often excluded by industry analysts and other users of the Company’s financial statements in evaluating the Company’s performance. The table below reconciles adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted common share to their most directly comparable GAAP measure of net income attributable to Matador Resources Company shareholders.

This non-GAAP item is measured, on a consolidated basis for the Company and for San Mateo, as net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for changes in working capital and cash performance incentives that are not included as operating cash flows, less cash flows used for capital expenditures, adjusted for changes in capital accruals. On a consolidated basis, these numbers are also adjusted for the cash flows related to non-controlling interest in subsidiaries that represent cash flows not attributable to Matador shareholders. Adjusted free cash flow should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or an indicator of the Company’s liquidity. Adjusted free cash flow is used by the Company, securities analysts and investors as an indicator of the Company’s ability to manage its operating cash flow, internally fund its D/C/E capital expenditures, pay dividends and service or incur additional debt, without regard to the timing of settlement of either operating assets and liabilities or accounts payable related to capital expenditures. Additionally, this non-GAAP financial measure may be different than similar measures used by other companies. The Company believes the presentation of adjusted free cash flow provides useful information to investors, as it provides them an additional relevant comparison of the Company’s performance, sources and uses of capital associated with its operations across periods and to the performance of the Company’s peers. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure reflects adjustments for items of cash flows that are often excluded by securities analysts and other users of the Company’s financial statements in evaluating the Company’s cash spend. The table below reconciles adjusted free cash flow to its most directly comparable GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities. All references to Matador’s adjusted free cash flow are those values attributable to Matador shareholders after giving effect to adjusted free cash flow attributable to third-party non-controlling interests, including in San Mateo. Where references are pro forma, forward-looking, preliminary or prospective in nature, and not based on historical fact, the table does not provide a reconciliation. The Company could not provide such reconciliation without undue hardship because such adjusted free cash flow numbers are estimations, approximations and/or ranges. In addition, it would be difficult for the Company to present a detailed reconciliation on account of many unknown variables for the reconciling items, including the timing of receipts and payments of cash. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

The proved reserves estimates presented for each period in the table below were prepared by the Company’s internal engineering staff and audited by an independent reservoir engineering firm, Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. These proved reserves estimates were prepared in accordance with the SEC’s rules for oil and natural gas reserves reporting and do not include any unproved reserves classified as probable or possible that might exist on Matador’s properties. At December 31, % YoY Change 2025 2024 Estimated proved reserves: (1) Estimated proved developed reserves (MBOE) 407,987  366,797  +11% Estimated proved undeveloped reserves (MBOE) 259,060  244,740  +6% Total (MBOE) 667,047  611,536  +9% Percent developed 61.2  % 60.0  % Change in proved reserves from prior year (MBOE) 55,511  151,466  Production (MBOE) 75,575  62,495  Reserves replacement ratio 173  % 342  % Future development costs (in thousands) $ 2,683,388  $ 2,705,340  Less: future development costs on proved developed reserves (in thousands) (4,403) (17,391) Future finding and development costs (in thousands) $ 2,678,985  $ 2,687,949  Future finding and development costs per BOE $ 10.34  $ 10.98  (6)% Standardized Measure (in millions) (2) $ 6,986.6  $ 7,376.6  (5)% Discounted future income taxes 1,251.2  $ 1,857.2  PV-10 (in millions) (3) $ 8,237.8  $ 9,233.8  (11)% Commodity prices: (1)      Oil (per Bbl) $ 61.82  $ 71.96  (14)%      Natural Gas (per MMBtu) $ 3.39  $ 2.13  +59% (1) Determined using index prices for oil and natural gas, without giving effect to derivative transactions, and held constant throughout the life of the properties. The unweighted arithmetic averages of first-day-of-the-month prices for the period from January through December 2025 were $61.82 per Bbl for oil and $3.39 per MMBtu for natural gas and for the period from January through December 2024 were $71.96 per Bbl for oil and $2.13 per MMBtu for natural gas. These prices were adjusted by property for quality, energy content, regional price differentials, transportation fees, marketing deductions and other factors affecting the price received at the wellhead. Matador reports its proved reserves in two streams, oil and natural gas, and the economic value of the NGLs associated with the natural gas is included in the estimated wellhead price on those properties where NGLs are extracted and sold. (2) Standardized Measure represents the present value of estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves, less estimated future development, production, plugging and abandonment and income tax expenses, discounted at 10% per annum to reflect the timing of future cash flows. Standardized Measure is not an estimate of the fair market value of Matador’s properties. (3) PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure and generally differs from Standardized Measure, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because it does not include the effects of income taxes on future income. PV-10 is not an estimate of the fair market value of the Company’s properties. Matador and others in the industry use PV-10 as a measure to compare the relative size and value of proved reserves held by companies and of the potential return on investment related to the companies’ properties without regard to the specific tax characteristics of such entities. PV-10 may be reconciled to the Standardized Measure of discounted future net cash flows at such dates by adding the discounted future income taxes associated with such reserves to the Standardized Measure. 20
