**California Resources Corporation Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial and Operating Results** 

*Increasing Second Half 2026 Activity to Accelerate Development of Long Duration Oil Inventory*

*Raising 2026E Adjusted EBITDAX Guidance by 42% Driven by Strong Oil Prices, Increased Target Synergies and Expected Operating Efficiencies*

**LONG BEACH, Calif., May 5, 2026** - California Resources Corporation (NYSE: CRC) (CRC) today reported its financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2026. In addition, CRC announced plans to increase second half 2026 drilling activity, materially enhancing full-year expectations and building momentum into 2027. The Company plans to host a conference call and webcast at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT) on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. Conference call details can be found within this release.

**<u>Highlights</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Delivered average net production of 154 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBoe/d) (81% oil); oil volumes were reduced by approximately 1.5 thousand barrels of oil per day (MBo/d) due to the impact of higher oil prices on production sharing contracts

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reported a net loss of $711 million, primarily driven by the non-cash loss in the fair value of its outstanding commodity derivatives<sup>1</sup>, adjusted net income<sup>1</sup> of $79 million and $304 million of adjusted EBITDAX<sup>1</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Generated net cash provided by operating activities of $99 million or $247 million of net cash provided by operating activities before net changes in operating assets and liabilities<sup>1</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Delivered $32 million of negative free cash flow<sup>1</sup> or $116 million of free cash flow before net changes in operating assets and liabilities<sup>1</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Returned $46 million to shareholders, including $36 million in dividends and $10 million in share repurchases<sup>2</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ended the first quarter of 2026 with $1,251 million in borrowing capacity and including $25 million in available cash and cash equivalents<sup>3</sup> representing $1,276 million of liquidity<sup>1, 3</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Optimized capital structure and extended maturities through recent $350 million follow-on offering of 7.000% senior notes due 2034 (2034 Senior Notes) and subsequent redemption of $350 million 8.250% senior notes due 2029 (2029 Senior Notes)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Preparing for first carbon dioxide (CO2) injection at California's inaugural carbon capture and storage (CCS) project at CRC's Elk Hills cryogenic gas plant; see *Carbon TerraVault's First Quarter 2026 Update* for additional information

**<u>2026 Guidance Highlights</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increased mid-point of expected Berry merger annual synergy target range by 12% to $90 - $100 million

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increased expected drilling, completions and workover capital<sup>1</sup> investments by approximately $100 million to accelerate high-return drilling projects in California and Utah

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reduced facilities capital by $10 million, reflecting ongoing field consolidation

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increased capital budget range to $520 - $560 million with a full-year average of five rigs

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Targeting 2026E gross production exit rate of approximately 175 MBoe/d, representing ~1% entry-to-exit production growth

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Higher oil prices, increased drilling activity and improved operating efficiencies drive a 42% increase in 2026E adjusted EBITDAX<sup>1</sup> to a guidance midpoint of $1,450 million

"We continued to demonstrate the strength of our integrated portfolio strategy, delivering solid results while advancing high-return oil developments and capturing incremental merger-related synergies," said Francisco Leon, CRC's President and Chief Executive Officer. "With higher oil prices and an attractive drilling return portfolio, we see a clear opportunity to accelerate development across our multi-decade resource inventory. As a result, we are adding incremental drilling activity this year to drive higher production, EBITDAX and cash flow. Our low-decline, capital-efficient conventional asset base underpins this strategy and we are moving decisively to unlock its value. CRC is a different kind of energy company, and our consistent results reinforce our ability to create durable, long-term value for our shareholders while meeting California's energy needs."

**<u>First Quarter 2026 Results</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating expenses were in line with expectations reflecting solid execution and the ongoing capture of Berry merger-related synergies

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• General and administrative expenses were slightly higher than expectations primarily driven by the timing of legal fees and cash-settled stock-based compensation related to a higher share price

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Invested total capital of $131 million including drilling, completions and workover capital<sup>1</sup> of $70 million; total capital was at the high-end of expectations driven by strategic acceleration of investments to support planned second half 2026 drilling activity

All statements other than historical facts are forward-looking statements, and include statements regarding the benefits of the Berry Merger, CRC's future financial position, business strategy, projected revenues, earnings, costs, capital expenditures and plans and objectives and intentions of management for the future. Words such as "expect," "could," "may," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "ability," "believe," "seek," "see," "will," "would," "estimate," "forecast," "target," "guidance," "outlook," "opportunity" or "strategy" or similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the management of CRC and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, projected in, or implied by, such statements.

Although CRC believes the expectations and forecasts reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are inherently subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond its control. No assurance can be given that such forward-looking statements will be correct or achieved or that the assumptions are accurate or will not change over time. Particular uncertainties that could cause CRC's actual results to be materially different than those expressed in its forward-looking statements are described in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and its other periodic filings with the SEC. These factors include, but are not limited to: fluctuations in commodity prices; production levels and/or pricing by OPEC, OPEC+ or U.S. producers; government policy, war and political conditions and events; integration efforts and projected synergies and other benefits in connection with the Berry Merger and other acquisitions; divestitures and joint ventures; regulatory actions and changes that affect the oil and gas industry generally and us in particular; the efforts of activists to delay or prevent oil and gas activities or the development of CRC's carbon management segment; changes in business strategy and the ability and financial resources to execute our capital plan in a timely manner; lower-than-expected production; changes to estimates of reserves and related future cash flows; the recoverability of resources and unexpected geologic conditions; general economic conditions and trends; results from operations and competition in the industries in which it operates; CRC's ability to realize the anticipated benefits from prior or future efforts to reduce costs; environmental risks and liability; the benefits contemplated by its energy transition strategies and initiatives; CRC's ability to successfully identify, develop and finance carbon capture and storage projects, power projects and other renewable energy efforts; delays from government approvals and otherwise that could affect the timing of first injection of CO2; future dividends and share repurchases and de-leveraging efforts; and natural disasters, accidents, mechanical failures, power outages, labor difficulties, cybersecurity breaches or attacks or other catastrophic events.

CRC cautions you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained in this document, which speak only as of the date hereof, and CRC is under no obligation, and expressly disclaims any obligation to update, alter or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This communication may also contain information from third-party sources. This data may involve a number of assumptions and limitations, and CRC has not independently verified them and does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of such third-party information.

<sup>(1)</sup> Margin from purchased commodities is calculated as the difference between revenue from marketing of purchased commodities and costs related to marketing of purchased commodities, and excludes costs of transportation.

<sup>(2)</sup> Other operating revenue and expenses, net is calculated as the difference between other revenue and other operating expenses, net and includes exploration expense and CMB expenses. CMB expenses includes lease cost for sequestration easements, advocacy, and other startup related costs.

See Attachment 3 for management's disclosure of its use of these non-GAAP measures and how these measures provide useful information to investors about CRC's results of operations and financial condition.

<sup>(3)</sup> Current income tax composition is subject to variability and depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to, final taxable income determinations, the availability and utilization of net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs), applicable tax credits, and other differences between book and taxable income. Accordingly, the current provision may vary from period to period and should not be viewed as indicative of future tax obligations.

| **NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS** |
| To supplement the presentation of its financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), management uses certain non-GAAP measures to assess its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. These measures are also widely used by the industry, the investment community and CRC's lenders. Although these are non-GAAP measures, the amounts included in the calculations were computed in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from these non-GAAP measures are significant components in understanding and assessing CRC's financial performance, such as CRC's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the effect of acquisition and development costs of CRC's assets. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures presented, when viewed in combination with CRC's financial and operating results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company's performance. The non-GAAP measures presented herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Below are additional disclosures regarding each of these non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP measure where applicable.  |

CRC defines adjusted net income as net income excluding the effects of significant transactions and events that affect earnings but vary widely and unpredictably in nature, timing and amount. These events may recur, even across successive reporting periods. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to the industry and the investment community interested in comparing CRC's financial performance between periods. Reported earnings are considered representative of management's performance over the long term.
