**CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

We are including the following discussion to inform our existing and potential security holders generally of some of the risks and uncertainties that can affect our company and to take advantage of the "safe harbor" protection for forward-looking statements that applicable federal securities law afford.

From time to time, our management or persons acting on our behalf may make "forward-looking statements," within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), to inform existing and potential security holders about our company. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Report"), including, without limitation, statements regarding our financial position, operating and financial performance, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations, industry conditions, indebtedness covenant compliance, capital expenditures, production, cash flow, borrowing base under our Credit Agreement (as defined below), our intention or ability to pay or increase dividends on our capital stock, and impairment are forward-looking statements. When used in this Report, forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by terms or phrases such as "estimate," "project," "predict," "believe," "expect," "continue," "anticipate," "target," "could," "plan," "intend," "seek," "goal," "will," "should," "may" or other words and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Items contemplating or making assumptions about actual or potential future production, sales, market size, collaborations, cash flows, and trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond our company's control) could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in current or future commodity prices and interest rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• supply chain disruptions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• infrastructure constraints and related factors affecting our properties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to acquire additional development opportunities and potential or pending acquisition transactions, as well as the effects of such acquisitions on our company's cash position and levels of indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in our reserves estimates or the value thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• operational risks including, but not limited to, the pace of drilling and completions activity on our properties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the markets in which Granite Ridge competes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• geopolitical risk and changes in applicable laws, legislation, or regulations, including those relating to environmental matters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cyber-related risks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the fact that reserve estimates depend on many assumptions that may turn out to be inaccurate and that any material inaccuracies in reserve estimates or underlying assumptions will materially affect the quantities and present value of our reserves;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limited liquidity and trading of Granite Ridge's securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• acts of war, terrorism or uncertainty regarding the effects and duration of global hostilities, including the Israel-Hamas conflict, the Russia-Ukraine war, the conflict in Iran, continued instability in the Middle East, and any associated armed conflicts or related sanctions which may disrupt commodity prices and create instability in the financial markets;

------

<u>**Table of Contents**</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• market conditions and global, regulatory, technical, and economic factors beyond Granite Ridge's control, including the potential adverse effects of world health events affecting capital markets, general economic conditions, global supply chains and Granite Ridge's business and operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increasing regulatory and investor emphasis on, and attention to, environmental, social, and governance matters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K") under "Risk Factors," as updated by any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, including this Report, which we file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

We have based any forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected or projected.

Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of natural gas and oil that cannot be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data, and the price and cost assumptions made by reservoir engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities, or changes in commodity prices, may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of natural gas and oil that are ultimately recovered.

Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this Report, other than as may be required by applicable law or regulation. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in our reports filed with the SEC which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected or projected.

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

**1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nature of Operations**

Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Granite Ridge" or the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, is a scaled energy company which aims to provide shareholders with exposure similar to energy private equity through operated partnerships and traditional non-operated assets in multiple basins throughout North America.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

A complete discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies is included in the 2025 Form 10-K.

*Interim Financial Statements, Basis of Presentation, Consolidation, and Significant Estimates* 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have not been audited by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, except that the condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates of reserves are used to determine depletion and to conduct impairment analysis. Estimating reserves is inherently uncertain, including the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Additional significant estimates include, but are not limited to, fair value of derivative financial instruments, fair value of equity investments, fair value of business combinations, asset retirement obligations, revenue receivable and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

Certain disclosures have been condensed in, or omitted from, these condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's 2025 Form 10-K.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

*Segment Reporting*

The Company operates in one reporting segment, which is oil and natural gas development, exploration and production. All of the Company's operations are conducted in the geographic area of the United States. The reporting segment generates revenue through the sale of oil and natural gas. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who is the Company's Chief Executive Officer, manages operations on a consolidated basis for purposes of evaluating operational performance and allocating resources. Net income, as reported within the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations, is used by the CODM to assess performance for the oil and natural gas development, exploration and production segment. Significant segment expenses are the same as those reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Total assets, as reported within the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets, is the measure of segment assets.

*Oil and Natural Gas Properties*

The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and natural gas producing activities, as further defined under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 932, *Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas* ("ASC 932"). Costs to

------

**GRANITE RIDGE RESOURCES, INC.**

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory leases that find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development leases and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells are capitalized pending determinations of whether the wells have proved reserves. If the Company determines that the wells do not have proved reserves, the costs are charged to expense.

Capitalized leasehold costs relating to proved properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. The depletion of capitalized drilling and development costs and integrated assets is based on the unit-of-production method using proved developed reserves. The Company recognized depletion expense of $54.7 million and $48.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved oil and natural gas properties, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable; for instance, when there are declines in commodity prices or well performance. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. For each property determined to be impaired, an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying value of the properties and the estimated fair market value is recognized at that time. The fair value of impaired assets is determined using the market or income valuation approach. The income approach is calculated using a discounted cash flow model. Discounted future cash flows use a discount rate similar to that used by market participants, or comparable market value if available. Estimating future cash flows involves the use of judgments, including estimation of the proved and risk-adjusted unproved oil and natural gas reserve quantities, timing of development and production, expected future commodity prices, capital expenditures and production costs. There was no proved property impairment recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.

Unproved oil and natural gas properties are periodically assessed for impairment by considering future drilling and exploration plans, results of exploration activities, commodity price outlooks, planned future sales and expiration of all or a portion of the projects. The Company recorded unproved oil and gas properties impairment of $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 in the Permian Basin as a result of changes in operator development plans. There was no unproved impairment for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

*Equity Investments*

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 321, *Investments - Equity Securities* ("ASC 321") for its investment in common stock. ASC 321 requires equity investments with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses recorded as a gain or loss in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the preferred stock that did not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company did not elect the measurement alternative in ASC 321 and instead accounted for the preferred stock at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded through net income for the period until the preferred stock was converted into common stock.

The Company recognized an unrealized gain of $6.7 million and unrealized loss of $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, included in gain (loss) on equity investments within the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations that accounts for the change in fair value of the common stock.

*Revenue Recognition*

The Company's revenues are primarily derived from its interests in the sale of oil and natural gas production. The Company recognizes revenue from its interests in the sales of oil and natural gas in the period that its performance obligations are satisfied.

Performance obligations are satisfied when the customer obtains control of the product, when the Company has no further obligations to perform related to the sale, when the transaction price has been determined, and when collectability is probable.

The Company receives payment from the sale of oil and natural gas production from one to three months after delivery. The transaction price is variable as it is based on market prices for oil and natural gas, less revenue deductions such as gathering, transportation, and compression costs. Management has determined that the variable revenue constraint is overcome at the date control passes to the customer since the variable consideration to be received can be reasonably estimated based on daily market prices and historical transportation charges. Revenue is presented net of these costs within

------

**GRANITE RIDGE RESOURCES, INC.**

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

the condensed consolidated statements of operations. At the end of each month when the performance obligations are satisfied, the variable consideration can be reasonably estimated and amounts due from customers are accrued in revenue receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Variances between the Company's estimated revenue and actual payments are recorded in the month the payment is received; however, differences have been and are insignificant.

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations under its contracts with customers as it applies the practical expedient in accordance with ASC 606. The expedient, as described in ASC 606-10-50-14(a), applies to variable consideration that is recognized as control of the product is transferred to the customer. Since each unit of product represents a separate performance obligation, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.

*Take-in Kind Oil and Natural Gas Revenues*

Under certain arrangements, the Company has the right to take a volume of unprocessed gas in kind at the operator's wellhead, representing its proportionate share of its natural gas production, in lieu of receiving a net payment from the operator. The Company currently takes certain natural gas volumes in kind in lieu of monetary settlement. When the Company elects to take volumes in kind, it pays third parties to transport the natural gas it took in kind to downstream delivery points, where it then sells to customers at prices applicable to those downstream markets. In such situations, revenues are recognized during the month in which control transfers to the customer at the delivery point and it is probable the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to receive. Sales proceeds are generally received by the Company within one month after the month in which a sale has occurred. In these scenarios, gathering and processing costs and transportation expenses the Company incurs to transport the volumes to downstream customers are recorded in lease operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

*Disaggregated Oil and Natural Gas Revenues*

The Company's disaggregated revenue has two primary sources: oil sales and natural gas sales. Substantially all of the Company's oil and natural gas sales come from six geographic areas in the United States: the Eagle Ford Basin (Texas), the Permian Basin (Texas/New Mexico), the Haynesville Basin (Texas/Louisiana), the Denver-Julesburg "DJ" Basin (Colorado), the Bakken Basin (Montana/North Dakota), and Appalachian Basin (Ohio). The following tables present the disaggregation of the Company's oil and natural gas revenues by basin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

*Recently Issued and Applicable Accounting Pronouncements (Issued and Not Yet Adopted)*

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses* ("ASU 2024-03"), which requires enhanced disclosure about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the consolidated statement of operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for

------

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not early adopted the standard and is currently assessing the effect that ASU 2024-03 will have on its disclosures.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Derivative Financial Instruments**

The Company uses derivative financial instruments in connection with its oil and natural gas operations to provide an economic hedge of the Company's exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil and natural gas production. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.

The Company does not designate its derivative instruments to qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, the Company reflects changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments in its condensed consolidated statements of operations as they occur.

*Commodity Derivatives Collar Option Contracts and Swaps*

The Company's commodity derivative financial instruments consist of collar option contracts and swaps. A collar option is established with the sale of a short call option (ceiling price) and the purchase of a long put option (floor price) set to expire at a predetermined date in the future. The options give the owner the right but not the obligation to exercise the option at the expiration date.

When the settlement price is below the established floor price, the Company receives an amount from its counterparty equal to the difference between the settlement price and the floor price multiplied by the hedged contract volume. When the settlement price is above the established ceiling price, the Company pays its counterparty an amount equal to the difference between the settlement price and the ceiling price multiplied by the hedged contract volume. When the settlement price is between the established floor and the ceiling, no amounts are due to or from the counterparty.

A swap contract allows the Company to receive a fixed price and pay a floating market price to the counterparty for the hedged commodity.

The Company has master netting agreements on individual derivative instruments with its counterparties and therefore certain amounts may be presented on a net basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

*Power Capacity Contract*

On December 12, 2025, the Company entered into a power capacity contract ("Power Capacity Contract") as part of its strategy to enhance the value of its natural gas production. The arrangement is intended to economically hedge exposure to weak regional gas pricing and negative basis differentials by providing participation in power market revenues derived from converting natural gas into electricity.

The counterparty is constructing a fleet of distributed power generation facilities with an aggregate capacity of 200 megawatts, which are expected to begin commercial operations in late 2026. The Company's agreement covers a portion of the total expected capacity and has a seven-year settlement term commencing upon the first facility achieving commercial operations.

Under the arrangement, the Company is obligated to make fixed monthly payments based on operating generation capacity multiplied by its participation interest. In return, the Company receives variable payments representing its share of the facilities' operating profit. Operating profit is generally defined as revenue from the sale of power, less gas feedstock costs and a fixed operating and maintenance charge.

The structure allows the Company to benefit when power prices are favorable relative to gas prices, helping offset periods of depressed gas realizations. Conversely, when gas prices are strong and power generation is less economical, the Company may make net payments under the arrangement but benefits from improved cash flows on its physical gas sales. Overall, the arrangement is intended to stabilize and potentially enhance cash flows by diversifying the Company's overall commodity price exposure.

The following table summarizes the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations related to the commodity derivative instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fair Value Measurements**

The Company has adopted and follows ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures*, for measurement and disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs (other than quoted market prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument's anticipated life.

Level 3 — Inputs reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Valuation of instruments includes unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, which was further clarified as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability ("an exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

As required, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Derivative instruments - commodity derivatives | $47414 | $47414 | $24 | $24 |

---

*Revolving credit facilities* — The carrying amounts of the revolving credit facilities approximate their fair values, as the applicable interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

*2029 Senior Notes -* The carrying value reported for the Senior Notes is shown net of unamortized discount and unamortized deferred financing costs. The fair value of the Senior Notes was determined utilizing a discounted cash flow approach, discounted using market rates, and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

*Other financial assets and liabilities* — The carrying amounts of the Company's other financial assets and liabilities, such as revenue receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

*Derivative instruments* - *commodity derivatives - collar option contracts and swaps* — The fair value of the Company's collar option contracts and swap commodity derivative instruments are estimated by management considering various factors, including closing exchange and over-the-counter quotations and the time value of the underlying commitments. The fair value of the Company's commodity derivative instruments is considered to be a Level 2 measurement. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the derivative instrument, can be derived from observable data, or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. The Company's valuation models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various inputs including: (i) quoted forward prices for commodities, (ii) current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, (iii) applicable credit-adjusted risk-free rate curves, as well as other relevant economic measures.

*Derivative instruments - commodity derivatives - power capacity contract* — The fair value of the Company's power capacity contract is estimated by management using a valuation model that incorporates both observable and unobservable inputs, as well as the time value of the underlying contractual cash flows. The fair value measurement is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because significant inputs, including hourly forward power prices over the term of the agreement, are not observable for the term of the arrangement.

The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate fair value. Key inputs include: (i) forecasted hourly forward power prices at the applicable delivery nodes of the generation facilities, (ii) forward natural gas prices, (iii) long-term power and natural gas price volatilities and correlations, (iv) expected commercial operation dates of the facilities, (v) assumed operating efficiencies of the facilities, (vi) credit-adjusted discount rates, (vii) risk-free interest rate curves, and (viii) other relevant economic assumptions.

Because the valuation incorporates significant unobservable inputs, changes in these assumptions could materially impact the estimated fair value of the arrangement.

*Equity investments* — The fair value of the Company's equity investment in common stock was valued using the instrument's publicly listed trading price, which is considered to be a Level 1 measurement due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company held 1,027,907 shares of Vital Energy's common stock, for which the fair value is a Level 1 measurement. On December 15, 2025, Crescent Energy completed its previously announced merger with Vital Energy. Under the merger agreement, each issued and outstanding share of Vital Energy common stock was converted into 1.9062 shares of Crescent Energy Class A common stock. As a result of the transaction, the Company's 685,271 outstanding shares at the time of the merger closing in Vital Energy common stock were converted into 1,306,263 shares of Crescent Class A common stock, which remained held by the Company as of March 31, 2026, for which the fair value is a Level 1 measurement.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The following tables summarize (i) the valuation of each of the Company's financial instruments by required fair value hierarchy levels and (ii) the gross fair value by the appropriate balance sheet classification, even when the derivative instruments are subject to netting arrangements and qualify for net presentation in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company nets the fair value of commodity derivative instruments by counterparty in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

**6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stock Incentive Plan**

The Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan") provides the Company the ability to grant, among other award types, stock options, restricted stock awards, and performance stock units ("PSUs") to directors, officers, employees and consultants or advisors employed by or providing service to the Company.

During the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, the Company granted restricted stock awards, stock options, and PSUs. Stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $1.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

*Restricted Stock Awards* - The Company grants service-based restricted stock awards to certain of its employees and consultants, which generally vest ratably over a period of three years or cliff vest at the end of five years, and to non-employee directors, which vest in full after one year. Restricted stock awards are valued at the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. All restricted shares are legally issued and outstanding. If an employee terminates employment prior to the restriction lapse date, the awarded shares are forfeited and canceled and are no longer considered issued and outstanding. For restricted stock awards granted prior to March 2025, the holders of such unvested restricted stock awards have voting rights and the right to receive dividends. For restricted stock awards granted in March 2025 and thereafter, the holders of such unvested restricted stock awards do not have voting rights but do have the right to receive dividends. The Company recognizes compensation expense utilizing graded vesting whereby compensation expense is recognized over the service period for each separately vesting tranche.

*PSUs* - The Company grants PSUs to certain of its officers under the Plan. PSUs represent the contingent right to receive shares of the Company's common stock once the PSU is vested and earned. Certain PSUs granted are based upon the achievement of "financial performance" and "market performance" criteria for the Company. Such PSUs cliff vest at the end of three years, generally subject to continued employment through the performance period. The total number of shares eligible to be earned may range from zero to 200% of the target number of PSUs granted, determined based upon achievement of the determined financial performance and market performance criteria. Financial performance is based on the Company's financial performance at the end of the applicable performance period, while market performance is based on the relative standing of total shareholder return ("TSR") achieved by the Company compared to the TSR achieved by a predetermined group of peer companies at the end of the applicable performance period. The Company utilizes the Monte

<u>**Table of Contents**</u>

**GRANITE RIDGE RESOURCES, INC.**

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

Carlo simulation method to determine the fair value of the PSUs based on market performance, while PSUs based on financial performance are valued using the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted 86,504 PSUs with a performance period ending on December 31, 2028, half of which are related to financial performance criteria and half of which are related to market performance criteria. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company granted 76,650 PSUs with a performance period ending on December 31, 2027, half of which are related to financial performance criteria and half of which are related to market performance criteria. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company issued 21,515 shares of common stock as a result of the conversion of 13,287 PSUs that vested on December 31, 2025.

Certain PSUs granted are based on the Company's achievement of stock price thresholds. During 2025, the Company granted 644,330 of these PSUs to certain of its officers under the Plan. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company granted an additional 292,398 of these PSUs. Such PSUs are eligible to vest, generally subject to continued employment, upon the satisfaction of certain stock price thresholds during the performance period, which ends on December 31, 2032. Each such PSU is earned based on whether the Company's stock price achieves a target average stock price for any 20 consecutive trading days during the performance period. If the stock price thresholds are not met by the end of the performance period, the PSUs will be forfeited and no shares of common stock will be issued. Compensation expense for these awards is based on the grant date fair market value of the award, calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation, and such costs are recorded on a straight-line basis over the derived requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award, as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards, as applicable.

*Stock Options* - The Company grants stock options to certain of its officers under the Plan. The Company's outstanding stock options expire 10 years following the date of grant. Pursuant to the stock options granted under the Plan, 33% of the options vest immediately with an additional 33% vesting on each of the next two anniversaries of the date of the grant, generally subject to continued employment through each such vesting date. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted 102,478 stock options with an exercise price of $5.26 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company granted 110,257 stock options with an exercise price of $5.61 per share.

*Other Awards* - During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, the Company issued 3,194 and 3,084 common shares, respectively, to a director in lieu of cash compensation.

*Stock Awards* - The Company may issue other awards to its employees and consultants under the Plan.

**7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income Taxes**

The Company is a C corporation and subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes. The Company records income taxes through the use of an estimated annual effective tax rate and specific events that are discretely recognized as they occur. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $13.6 million and income tax expense of $2.9 million, respectively.

At the end of each interim period, the Company applies an estimated annualized effective tax rate to the current period income or loss before income taxes, which can produce interim effective tax rate fluctuations. The Company's effective income tax rate was 22.5% and 22.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the enacted statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of certain discrete items and state income taxes.

The Company has evaluated all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open and believes that the material positions taken would more likely than not be sustained upon examination. Therefore, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and did not recognize any interest or penalties during those respective periods related to unrecognized tax benefits.

*Granite Ridge Credit Agreement*

On October 24, 2022, Granite Ridge entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks, currently led by Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of the earliest to occur of (A) November 5, 2029 or (B) the date that is ninety-one days prior to the stated maturity date of the unsecured senior notes issued in November 2025 if any such notes remain outstanding on such date.

The borrowing base is redetermined semiannually on or about April 1 and October 1 of each calendar year, and is subject to additional adjustments from time to time, including for asset sales, elimination or reduction of hedge positions and incurrence of other debt. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a borrowing base of $375.0 million and elected commitments of $375.0 million.

The Company and the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) may request one unscheduled redetermination of the borrowing base between each scheduled redetermination. The amount of the borrowing base is determined by the lenders in their sole discretion and consistent with the oil and gas lending criteria of the lenders at the time of the relevant redetermination. The amount the Company is able to borrow under the Credit Agreement is subject to compliance with the financial covenants, satisfaction of various conditions precedent to borrowing and other provisions of the Credit Agreement.

At March 31, 2026, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $90.0 million and $0.3 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Agreement, resulting in availability of $284.7 million. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the restricted subsidiaries of Granite Ridge and is secured by a first priority mortgage and security interest in substantially all of the Company's and its restricted subsidiaries' assets.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be base rate loans or secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") loans. Interest is payable quarterly for base rate loans and at the end of the applicable interest period for SOFR loans. SOFR loans bear interest at SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 275 to 375 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. Base rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of: (i) the U.S. prime rate as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A.; (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points; (iii) the adjusted SOFR rate for a one-month interest period plus 100 basis points; and (iv) 100 basis points, plus, in the case of any base rate loan, an applicable margin ranging from 175 to 275 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized.

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

The Company also pays a commitment fee on unused elected commitment amounts under its facility ranging from 37.5 to 50 basis points. The Company may repay any amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement prior to the maturity date without any premium or penalty.

The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of the following financial ratios:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to EBITDAX (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)a Current Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)an Asset Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2026, of not less than (a) for each such fiscal quarter ending prior to December 31, 2026, 1.25 to 1.00 and (b) for each such fiscal quarter ending on or after December 31, 2026, 1.50 to 1.00.

At March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants required by the Credit Agreement.

*2029 Senior Notes*

On November 5, 2025, the Company, as issuer, completed an issuance of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.875% senior unsecured notes at 96.0% of par with stated maturity on November 5, 2029 (the "2029 Senior Notes") pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement. The Company used the net proceeds from issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes to repay certain amounts under the Credit Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses. The Note Purchase Agreement allows the ability for the Company to incur up to $100.0 million of incremental notes for purposes of acquisition financing, subject to, among other things, the willingness of holders to provide such incremental notes and a pro forma net leverage ratio not greater than 2.00 to 1.00.

Interest is due to be paid at the end of each quarter. In addition, the Company will repay quarterly 2.5% of the original principal amount of the notes issued on the closing date beginning on September 30, 2026. If quarterly scheduled repayments are missed, the coupon increases to 11.875% and the Company is restricted from making any dividend payments until all delinquent scheduled repayments have been fulfilled. The Company has $26.3 million included in current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets related to quarterly principal repayments due within the next 12 months. On or after May 5, 2027 and on or prior to May 5, 2028, the Company may, at its option, redeem, at any time some or all of the 2029 Senior Notes at 103.0% of par, as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Any redemption of the 2029 Senior Notes prior to May 5, 2027 is subject to payment of a make-whole amount. After May 5, 2028, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at 100.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The principal remaining outstanding at the time of maturity is required to be paid in full by the Issuer.

The 2029 Senior Notes include certain covenants, which, among other things, requires the maintenance of (i) a net leverage ratio not greater than 3.25 to 1.00 and an (ii) asset coverage ratio greater than or equal to (A) for each Fiscal Quarter ending prior to December 31, 2026, 1.25 to 1.00 and (B) for each Fiscal Quarter ending on or after December 31, 2026, 1.50 to 1.00. The 2029 Senior Notes also contain a total leverage ratio and asset coverage ratio basket for Restricted Payments (as defined in the 2029 Senior Notes), which permits Restricted Payments in the form of cash distributions so long as, subject to certain other conditions, the leverage ratio, after giving pro forma effect to such Restricted Payments, cannot exceed 1.75 to 1.00, and the asset coverage ratio, after giving effect to such Restricted Payments, must be greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00. Under the 2029 Senior Notes, the Company must maintain a minimum hedging requirement included within the Senior Notes for oil and natural gas based on proved developed producing projected volumes for each commodity on a rolling 18-month basis.

The Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations ranking equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company and are senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary terms and covenants and events of default, including limitations on the Company's ability to incur additional secured and unsecured indebtedness.

Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.

**10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Related Party Transactions**

On October 24, 2022, Grey Rock Administration, LLC (the "Manager") entered into a Management Services Agreement with Granite Ridge (the "MSA"). Under the MSA, the Manager provides general management, administrative, and operating services covering the oil and gas assets and other properties of the Company and other day-to-day business and affairs of the Company. In accordance with the MSA, the Company paid the Manager an annual services fee of $10.0 million and reimbursed the Manager for certain Granite Ridge group costs related to the operation of the Company's assets (including for third party costs allocated or attributable to the assets of the Company).

On December 10, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Management Services Agreement, which amended the Company's existing MSA with the Manager ("Amendment No. 1"). Amendment No. 1, among other things, (a) extended the initial term from April 30, 2028 to April 30, 2031 and (b) increased the Services Fee (as defined in the MSA) from $10.0 million to $11.75 million effective January 1, 2026, provided for annual CPI-based adjustments beginning January 1, 2027 and delegated to management the authority to increase the Services Fee up to a maximum total of $12.5 million. The MSA will automatically renew for additional consecutive one-year renewal terms until terminated in accordance with its terms. Upon any termination of the MSA, the Manager shall provide transition services for a period of up to 90 days.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, service fees for the Company under the MSA were approximately $2.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On December 12, 2025, Granite Ridge Ventures, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a power capacity contract with a portfolio company of funds managed by affiliates of Grey Rock Investment Partners ("Conduit Bravo"). A third party entered into a transaction with Conduit Bravo on substantially similar terms and at a substantially similar time to this transaction.

**11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Risk Concentrations**

As a non-operator, 100% of the Company's wells are operated by third-party operating partners. As a result, the Company is highly dependent on the success of these third-party operators. If they are not successful in the development, exploitation, production and exploration activities relating to the Company's leasehold interests, or are unable or unwilling to perform, the Company's financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. These risks are heightened in a low commodity price environment, which may present significant challenges to these third-party operators. The Company's third-party operators will make decisions in connection with their operations that may not be in the Company's best interests, and the Company may have little or no ability to exercise influence over the operational decisions of its third-party operators.

In the normal course of business, the Company maintains its cash balances in financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company is subject to credit risk to the extent any financial institution with which it conducts business is unable to fulfill contractual obligations on its behalf. Management monitors the financial condition of such financial institutions and does not anticipate any losses from these counterparties.

*Derivative Counterparties* - The Company uses credit and other financial criteria to evaluate the creditworthiness of counterparties to its derivative instruments. The Company believes that all of its derivative counterparties are currently acceptable credit risks. All of the Company's outstanding derivative instruments are covered by International Swap Dealers

Association Master Agreements ("ISDAs"). All collar option contracts and swap derivatives entered into are with parties that are also lenders under the Company's Credit Agreement. The Company's obligations under the derivative instruments, with the exception of the Power Capacity Contract, are secured pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and no additional collateral has been posted by the Company.

**12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Earnings (Loss) Per Share**

The Company uses the two-class method of calculating earnings (loss) per share because certain of the Company's unvested stock-based awards qualify as participating securities.

The Company's basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed as (i) net income (loss) as reported, (ii) less participating basic earnings, (iii) divided by weighted average basic common shares outstanding. The Company's diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed as (i) basic earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders, (ii) plus reallocation of participating earnings, (iii) divided by weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.

The computation of diluted net income (loss) per share excludes contingently issuable shares related to certain market-based equity awards as the required market price conditions had not been satisfied as of the end of the reporting period. These awards represent 936,728 shares of common stock that may be issued if specified market price targets are achieved. Because the market conditions were not met as of March 31, 2026, the shares were not included in the diluted weighted average share count. If the market conditions are satisfied in future periods, these shares could have a dilutive effect on earnings per share.

The following table presents the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

**Item 2. *Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations***

*The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.* 

*The following discussion contains* "*forward*-*looking statements*" *reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward*-*looking statements due to a number of factors. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, market prices for oil and natural gas, capital expenditures, economic and competitive conditions, regulatory changes and other uncertainties, as well as those factors discussed below and elsewhere in this Report. Please read "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." Also, please read the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K") and elsewhere in this Report. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law.*

**Overview**

Granite Ridge is a scaled energy company which aims to provide shareholders with exposure similar to energy private equity through operated partnerships and traditional non-operated assets. We own assets in six prolific unconventional basins across the United States. We aim to deliver a diversified portfolio with best-in-class full cycle returns by investing in a large number of high-graded opportunities developed by proven public and private operators. We focus on success as measured by total shareholder returns, which we seek to balance with a low leverage profile.

**Selected Factors That Affect Our Operating Results**

Our revenues, cash flows from operations and future growth depend substantially upon:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the timing and success of drilling and production activities by our operating partners;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the prices and the supply and demand for oil and natural gas;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the quantity of oil and natural gas production from the wells in which we participate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments we use to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in the price of oil and natural gas;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to continue to identify and acquire high-quality acreage and drilling opportunities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the level of our operating expenses.

In addition to the factors that affect companies in our industry generally, the location of substantially all of our acreage in the Eagle Ford, Permian, Bakken, Haynesville, Denver-Julesburg, and Appalachian Basins subjects our operating results to factors specific to these regions. These factors include the potential adverse impact of weather on drilling, production and transportation activities, particularly during the winter and spring months, as well as infrastructure limitations, transportation capacity, regulatory matters, and other factors that may specifically affect one or more of these regions.

The price of oil and natural gas can vary depending on the market in which it is sold and the means of transportation used to transport the oil and natural gas to market.

The price at which our oil and natural gas production is sold typically reflects either a premium or discount to the NYMEX benchmark price. Thus, our operating results are also affected by changes in the oil and natural gas price differentials between the applicable benchmark and the sales prices we receive for our oil and natural gas production.

Our oil price differential to the NYMEX benchmark price during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was a discount of $(2.80) per barrel and a discount of $(2.60) per barrel, respectively. Our natural gas price differential to

------

<u>**Table of Contents**</u>

the average NYMEX price during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was a discount of $(2.16) per Mcf and $(0.17) per Mcf, respectively.

**Market Conditions**

The price that we receive for the oil and natural gas our operators produce is largely a function of market supply and demand. Because our oil and natural gas revenues are heavily weighted toward oil, we are more significantly impacted by changes in oil prices than by changes in the price of natural gas. Worldwide supply in terms of output, especially production from properties within the United States, the production quota set by OPEC, and the strength of the U.S. dollar can adversely impact oil prices.

Historically, commodity prices have been volatile, and we expect that volatility to continue in the future.

Although we cannot predict the occurrence of events that may affect future commodity prices, or the degree to which these prices will be affected, the prices for any commodity that we produce will generally approximate current market prices in the geographic region of the production. From time to time, we expect that we may hedge a portion of our commodity price risk to mitigate the impact of price volatility on our business.

Prices for various quantities of oil and natural gas that we produce significantly impact our revenues and cash flows. The following table lists average NYMEX spot prices for oil and natural gas for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the average NYMEX oil pricing was $72.74 per barrel of oil, or 1% higher than the average NYMEX price per barrel for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our settled derivatives decreased our realized oil price per barrel by $4.27 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and decreased our realized oil price per barrel by $0.05 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our average realized oil price per barrel after reflecting settled derivatives was $65.67 compared to $69.13 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the average NYMEX natural gas pricing was $4.71 per Mcf, or 14% higher than the average NYMEX price per Mcf for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our settled derivatives decreased our realized natural gas price per Mcf by $0.57 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and decreased our realized natural gas price per Mcf by $0.01 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our average realized natural gas price per Mcf after reflecting settled derivatives was $1.98 compared to $3.96 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

***Oil, Natural Gas and Related Product Sales***

Our revenues vary from year to year primarily due to changes in realized commodity prices and production volumes. Our oil and natural gas sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased 4% from the same period in 2025. Oil revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by 13% compared to the same period in 2025, driven by an 11% increase in production and a 1% increase in realized prices, excluding the effect of settled derivatives. Natural gas revenues decreased by 20% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, driven by a 36% decrease in realized natural gas prices, excluding the effect of settled commodity derivatives, partially offset by a 24% increase in production.

Production from oil and gas properties increased as a result of drilling success and the acquisition of additional net revenue interests. The number of wells we participated in during the period increased from 211.63 net wells on March 31, 2025 to 245.55 net wells on March 31, 2026.

***Lease Operating Expenses***

Lease operating expenses were $29.7 million ($9.57 per Boe) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of 83% from $16.2 million ($6.17 per Boe) during the same period in 2025. The increase in lease operating expenses per Boe was primarily due to increased saltwater disposal costs as a result of higher water cuts and flowback operations, surface equipment rentals, and contract labor.

***Production and Ad Valorem Taxes***

We generally pay production taxes based on realized oil and natural gas sales. Production taxes were $6.1 million ($1.96 per Boe) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $6.6 million ($2.49 per Boe) during the same period in 2025. As a percentage of oil and natural gas sales, our production taxes were 5% during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Production taxes fluctuate with the market value of our production sold, while ad valorem taxes are generally based on the valuation of our oil and natural gas properties at the beginning of the year, which vary across the different areas in which we operate.

Ad valorem taxes increased by $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to additional wells drilled and completed and new wells acquired.

***Depletion and Accretion***

Depletion and accretion was $55.0 million ($17.72 per Boe) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of 13% from $48.4 million ($18.41 per Boe) during the same period in 2025. The increase in depletion and accretion expense was primarily due to the increase in depletion expense resulting from an increase in production between the two periods.

***Impairment of Unproved Properties***

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized impairment expense of $11.2 million on unproved properties in the Permian Basin as a result of a change in operator development plans.

***General and Administrative***

The following table provides components of our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

<u>**Table of Contents**</u>

Total general and administrative expenses were $9.1 million ($2.93 per Boe) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of 22% from $7.5 million ($2.84 per Boe) during the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to increased stock-based compensation and management fee expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025.

***Gain/(Loss) on Derivatives – Commodity Derivatives***

The following table summarizes the amounts reported as gain (loss) on derivatives - commodity derivatives in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025:

| Total gain (loss) on derivatives - commodity derivatives | $(72027) | $(14857) |

---

Our earnings are affected by the changes in the value of our derivatives portfolio between periods and the related cash settlements of those derivatives, which could be significant. To the extent the future commodity price outlook declines between measurement periods, we will have mark-to-market gains; while to the extent future commodity price outlook increases between measurement periods, we will have mark-to-market losses.

***Interest Expense***

Interest expense was $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to 2025 was primarily due to the issuance of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.875% senior unsecured notes in November 2025 that was outstanding during the entirety of the three months ended March 31, 2026.

***Gain/(Loss) on Equity Investments***

We recorded a gain of $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to a loss of $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 resulting from the change in fair value of common stock held by the Company during the periods.

***Income Tax Expense***

We recorded income tax benefit of $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to income tax expense of $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The effective income tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of certain discrete items and state income taxes.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Our main sources of liquidity and capital resources as of the periods covered by this report have been internally generated cash flow from operations, credit facility borrowings, and the issuance of senior notes. Our primary use of capital has been for the development and acquisition of oil and natural gas properties. We continually monitor potential capital sources for opportunities to enhance liquidity or otherwise improve our financial position.

------

<u>**Table of Contents**</u>

As of March 31, 2026, we had $350.0 million of principal debt outstanding on 8.875% senior unsecured notes and $90.0 million of debt outstanding under our senior secured revolving credit agreement. We had $314.8 million of liquidity as of March 31, 2026, consisting of $284.7 million of committed borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement and $30.1 million of cash on hand.

With our cash on hand, cash flow from operations, senior unsecured notes and borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement, we believe that we will have sufficient cash flow and liquidity to fund our budgeted capital expenditures and operating expenses for at least the next twelve months. However, we may seek additional access to capital and liquidity. We cannot assure you that any additional capital will be available to us on favorable terms or at all.

*Capital Commitments*

Our recent capital commitments have been to fund the development and acquisition of oil and natural gas properties. We expect to fund our near-term capital requirements and working capital needs with cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowing capacity under our Credit Agreement. Our capital expenditures could be curtailed if our cash flows decline from expected levels.

*Common Stock Dividends*

We paid dividends of $14.5 million, or $0.11 per share, and $14.4 million, or $0.11 per share, during the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.

***Cash Flows***

The following table summarizes our changes in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |
| ***(in thousands)*** | **2026** | **2025** |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $58348 | $76091 |
| Net cash used in investing activities | (68647) | (99997) |
| Net cash provided by financing activities | 25509 | 30595 |
| Net change in cash | $15210 | $6689 |

---

***Cash Flows from Operating Activities***

The primary factors impacting our cash flows from operating activities generally include: (i) levels of production from our oil and natural gas properties, (ii) prices we receive from sales of oil and natural gas production, including settlement proceeds or payments related to our commodity derivatives, (iii) operating costs of our oil and natural gas properties, (iv) costs of our general and administrative activities and (v) interest expense. Our cash flows from operating activities have historically been impacted by fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices and our production volumes.

The $17.7 million decrease in operating cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to the increase in realized loss on derivatives during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025.

Our net cash provided by operating activities included a reduction of $3.4 million and a reduction of $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, associated with changes in working capital items. Changes in working capital items adjust for the timing of receipts and payments of actual cash.

***Cash Flows from Investing Activities***

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our net cash used in investing activities was $68.6 million, which consisted primarily of $60.4 million of capital expenditures for oil and natural gas properties and $9.5 million of acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties, partially offset by proceeds from sale of oil and natural gas properties of $1.2 million.

------

<u>**Table of Contents**</u>

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our net cash used in investing activities was $100.0 million, which consisted primarily of $66.7 million of capital expenditures for oil and natural gas properties and $34.7 million of acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties.

***Cash Flows from Financing Activities***

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our net cash provided by financing activities was $25.5 million, primarily due to $40.0 million of borrowings under our Credit Agreement, partially offset by $14.5 million of dividends paid on our common stock.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our net cash provided by financing activities was $30.6 million, primarily due to $45.0 million of borrowings under our Credit Agreement, partially offset by $14.4 million of dividends paid on our common stock.

***Granite Ridge Credit Agreement***

At March 31, 2026, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $90.0 million and $0.3 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Agreement, resulting in availability of $284.7 million. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the restricted subsidiaries of Granite Ridge and is secured by a first priority mortgage and security interest in substantially all of the Company's and its restricted subsidiaries' assets.

On October 24, 2022, Granite Ridge entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks, currently led by Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of the earliest to occur of (A) November 5, 2029 or (B) the date that is ninety-one days prior to the stated maturity date of the unsecured senior notes issued in November 2025 if any such notes remain outstanding on such date.

The borrowing base is redetermined semiannually on or about April 1 and October 1 of each calendar year, and is subject to additional adjustments from time to time, including for asset sales, elimination or reduction of hedge positions and incurrence of other debt. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a borrowing base of $375.0 million and elected commitments of $375.0 million.

The Company and the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) may request one unscheduled redetermination of the borrowing base between each scheduled redetermination. The amount of the borrowing base is determined by the lenders in their sole discretion and consistent with the oil and gas lending criteria of the lenders at the time of the relevant redetermination. The amount the Company is able to borrow under the Credit Agreement is subject to compliance with the financial covenants, satisfaction of various conditions precedent to borrowing and other provisions of the Credit Agreement.

At March 31, 2026, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $90.0 million and $0.3 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Agreement, resulting in availability of $284.7 million. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the restricted subsidiaries of Granite Ridge and is secured by a first priority mortgage and security interest in substantially all of the Company's and its restricted subsidiaries' assets.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be base rate loans or secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") loans. Interest is payable quarterly for base rate loans and at the end of the applicable interest period for SOFR loans. SOFR loans bear interest at SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 275 to 375 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. Base rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of: (i) the U.S. prime rate as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A.; (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points; (iii) the adjusted SOFR rate for a one-month interest period plus 100 basis points; and (iv) 100 basis points, plus, in the case of any base rate loan, an applicable margin ranging from 175 to 275 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized.

The Company also pays a commitment fee on unused elected commitment amounts under its facility ranging from 37.5 to 50 basis points. The Company may repay any amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement prior to the maturity date without any premium or penalty.

------

<u>**Table of Contents**</u>

The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of the following financial ratios:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to EBITDAX (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)a Current Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)an Asset Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2026, of not less than (a) for each such fiscal quarter ending prior to December 31, 2026, 1.25 to 1.00 and (b) for each such fiscal quarter ending on or after December 31, 2026, 1.50 to 1.00.

At March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants required by the Credit Agreement.

***2029 Senior Notes***

On November 5, 2025, the Company, as issuer, completed an issuance of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.875% senior unsecured notes at 96.0% of par with stated maturity on November 5, 2029 pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement. The Company used the net proceeds from issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes to repay certain amounts under the Credit Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses. The Note Purchase Agreement allows the ability for the Company to incur up to $100.0 million of incremental notes for purposes of acquisition financing, subject to, among other things, the willingness of holders to provide such incremental notes and a pro forma net leverage ratio not greater than 2.00 to 1.00.

Interest is due to be paid at the end of each quarter. In addition, the Company will repay quarterly 2.5% of the original principal amount of the notes issued on the closing date beginning on September 30, 2026. If quarterly scheduled repayments are missed, the coupon increases to 11.875% and the Company is restricted from making any dividend payments until all delinquent scheduled repayments have been fulfilled. The Company has $26.3 million included in current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets related to quarterly principal repayments due within the next 12 months. On or after May 5, 2027 and on or prior to May 5, 2028, the Company may, at its option, redeem, at any time some or all of the 2029 Senior Notes at 103.0% of par, as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Any redemption of the 2029 Senior Notes prior to May 5, 2027 is subject to payment of a make-whole amount. After May 5, 2028, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at 100.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The principal remaining outstanding at the time of maturity is required to be paid in full by the Issuer.

The 2029 Senior Notes include certain covenants, which, among other things, requires the maintenance of (i) a net leverage ratio not greater than 3.25 to 1.00 and an (ii) asset coverage ratio greater than or equal to (A) for each Fiscal Quarter ending prior to December 31, 2026, 1.25 to 1.00 and (B) for each Fiscal Quarter ending on or after December 31, 2026, 1.50 to 1.00. The 2029 Senior Notes also contain a total leverage ratio and asset coverage ratio basket for Restricted Payments (as defined in the 2029 Senior Notes), which permits Restricted Payments in the form of cash distributions so long as, subject to certain other conditions, the leverage ratio, after giving pro forma effect to such Restricted Payments, cannot exceed 1.75 to 1.00, and the asset coverage ratio, after giving effect to such Restricted Payments, must be greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00. Under the 2029 Senior Notes, the Company must maintain a minimum hedging requirement included within the Senior Notes for oil and natural gas based on our proved developed producing projected volumes for each commodity on a rolling 18-month basis.

The Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations ranking equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company and are senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary terms and covenants and events of default, including limitations on the Company's ability to incur additional secured and unsecured indebtedness.

At March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants required by the Note Purchase Agreement.

***Known Contractual and Other Obligations; Planned Capital Expenditures***

*Contractual and Other Obligations*

Our contractual obligations include long-term debt, cash interest expense on debt, derivative liabilities, asset retirement obligations, joint development agreements, and an annual service fee to the Manager. Since December 31, 2025, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations, other than (i) the $40.0 million increase in long-term debt due to borrowings under the Credit Agreement and (ii) increase in contractually obligated fees under our joint development agreements.

The Company enters into joint development agreements that outline the terms for the joint evaluation, acquisition, exploration, development, and production of hydrocarbons from jointly owned interests subject to such agreements. These agreements designate a third party as the operator of all jointly owned interests in the applicable development area, while Granite Ridge retains the right to manage and control acquisition costs and strategy, development costs, timing and rig schedules, well design and other development operations in exchange for a fee. The aggregate minimum financial commitment amount over the noncancellable term of these joint development agreements is $15.5 million, which is due over the next two years.

*Planned Capital Expenditures*

For 2026, we are budgeting approximately $345 million to $385 million in total planned capital expenditures, including approximately $45 million to $55 million of acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties. Our costs incurred on oil and natural gas properties, excluding acquisitions, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 totaled $58.3 million and $71.4 million, respectively. Our capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were primarily funded with cash flows from operations and borrowings under the Credit Agreement. We expect to fund planned capital expenditures with cash generated from operations and, if required, borrowings under our Credit Agreement.

The amount, timing and allocation of capital expenditures are largely discretionary and subject to change based on a variety of factors. If oil and natural gas prices decline below our acceptable levels, or costs increase above our acceptable levels, we may choose to defer a portion of our budgeted capital expenditures until later periods to achieve the desired balance between sources and uses of liquidity and prioritize capital projects that we believe have the highest expected returns and potential to generate near-term cash flow. We may also increase our capital expenditures significantly to take advantage of opportunities we consider to be attractive. We will carefully monitor and may adjust our projected capital expenditures in response to changes in prices, availability of financing, drilling and acquisition costs, industry conditions, the timing of regulatory approvals, contractual obligations, internally generated cash flow, and other factors both within and outside our control.

*Acquisitions*

The following table reflects our expenditures for acquisitions of proved and unproved properties for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |
| ***(in thousands)*** | **2026** | **2025** |
| Property acquisition costs: |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Proved | $589 | $13341 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Unproved | 9552 | 21021 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total property acquisition costs | $10141 | $34362 |

---

***Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next Twelve Months***

With our Credit Agreement and our positive cash flows from operations, we believe we will have sufficient capital to meet our drilling commitments, expected general and administrative expenses and other cash needs for the next twelve months. Nonetheless, any strategic acquisition of assets or increase in drilling activity may lead us to seek additional capital. We may also choose to seek additional capital rather than utilize our credit to fund accelerated or continued drilling at the discretion of management and depending on prevailing market conditions. We will evaluate any potential

------

<u>**Table of Contents**</u>

opportunities for acquisitions as they arise. However, there can be no assurance that any additional capital will be available to us on favorable terms or at all.

***Effects of Inflation and Pricing***

The oil and natural gas industry is typically very cyclical and the demand for goods and services of oilfield companies, suppliers and others associated with the industry put extreme pressure on the economic stability and pricing structure within the industry. Typically, as prices for oil and natural gas increase, so do all associated costs. Conversely, in a period of declining prices, associated cost declines are likely to lag and may not adjust downward in proportion.

Material changes in prices also impact our current revenue stream, estimates of future reserves, borrowing base calculations of bank loans, impairment assessments of oil and natural gas properties, and values of properties in purchase and sale transactions. Material changes in prices can impact the value of oil and natural gas companies and their ability to raise capital, borrow money and retain personnel. Higher prices for oil and natural gas could result in increases in the costs of materials, services and personnel.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

The establishment and consistent application of accounting policies is a vital component of accurately and fairly presenting our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), as well as ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations governing financial reporting. While there are rarely alternative methods or rules from which to select in establishing accounting and financial reporting policies, proper application often involves significant judgment regarding a given set of facts and circumstances and a complex series of decisions. Further, these estimates and other factors, including those outside of management's control, could have a significant adverse impact to the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.

In management's opinion, the more significant reporting areas impacted by management's judgments and estimates are the choice of accounting method for oil and natural gas activities, oil and natural gas reserve estimation, revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets and valuation of financial derivatives.

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and procedures during the three months ended March 31, 2026. See our disclosure of critical accounting policies in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of our 2025 Form 10-K.

**Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements**

For discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

**Item 3. *Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk***

***Commodity Price Risk***

We are exposed to market risk as the prices of our commodities are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in supply and demand. To reduce our exposure to changes in the prices of our commodities, we have entered into, and may in the future enter into, additional commodity price risk management arrangements for a portion of our oil and natural gas production. The agreements that we have entered into generally have the effect of providing us with a fixed price for a portion of our expected future oil and natural gas production over a fixed period of time. Our commodity price risk management arrangements are recorded at fair value and thus changes to the future commodity prices will have an impact on our earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, a 10% increase in average commodity prices would have decreased the fair value of our collar option and swap commodity derivatives by $39.1 million. We may incur significant

------

<u>**Table of Contents**</u>

unrealized losses in the future from our use of derivative financial instruments to the extent market prices increase and our derivatives contracts remain in place.

We generally use derivatives to economically hedge a portion of our anticipated future production. Any payments due to counterparties under our derivative contracts are funded by proceeds received from the sale of our production. Production receipts, however, lag payments to the counterparties. Any interim cash needs are funded by cash from operations or borrowings under our Credit Agreement.

***Interest Rate Risk***

At March 31, 2026, our exposure to interest rate changes related primarily to the borrowings under the Credit Agreement as the 2029 Senior Notes bear a fixed interest rate. The interest we pay on these borrowings is set periodically based upon market rates. We had total indebtedness of $90.0 million outstanding under our Credit Agreement at March 31, 2026. The impact of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates on this amount of debt would result in increased annual interest expense of approximately $0.9 million.

We may utilize interest rate derivatives to alter interest rate exposure in an attempt to reduce interest rate expense related to existing debt issues. Interest rate derivatives are used solely to modify interest rate exposure and not to modify the overall leverage of the debt portfolio. We had no outstanding interest rate derivative contracts at March 31, 2026.

**Item 4. *Controls and Procedures***

***Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

As of March 31, 2026, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a level of reasonable assurance.

***Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the first quarter of 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

## Exhibit 10.1

![](ex101-amendmentno1toempl001.jpg)
