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 advan
