#### 2025 Operational Summary

Operationally, 2025 marked a significant step forward for Prairie as the Company completed the transition period following the Bayswater acquisition and assumed full operational control of those assets.

On April 1, 2025, we launched the development program at our Rusch pad development in Weld County, which consists of 11 two-mile lateral wells. The Rusch wells came online late in September 2025 with initial average oil and natural gas production measured before any deductions for fuel, flare, or vented volumes ("Two-stream") gross production of 475 Boe/d.

On April 28, 2025, we announced our plan to begin completions on nine previously drilled but uncompleted wells acquired in the Bayswater Acquisition. Completion activities at the Opal/Coalbank pad began in May 2025, and the wells came online mid-July 2025 with initial average Two-stream gross production of 725 Boe/d.

On June 1, 2025, we moved the drilling rig to our Noble pad development in Weld County, which consists of seven wells. The Noble wells came online in November 2025 with initial average Two-stream gross production of 550 Boe/d.

In September 2025, we moved the drilling rig to our then-recently acquired Simpson pad development in Weld County, which consists of six wells. Three of the Simpson pad wells came online in December 2025 and the remainder came online in January 2026 with initial average Two-stream gross production of 500 Boe/d.

In December 2025, we moved the drilling rig to our Blehm pad and then our Schneider pad, both of which are in Weld County and consist of five wells each. Completion activities at the Blehm and Schneider pads are ongoing and first production is expected early in the second quarter of 2026.

At the end of 2025, we moved the drilling rig to our Elder East and West pad, which consists of nine wells. Drilling at the Elder East and West pad is expected to be completed towards the end of the first quarter of 2026.

#### Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains Adjusted EBITDA and PV-10, which are financial measures not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures are used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as investors, lenders, and rating agencies and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

*Adjusted EBITDA*

Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate the performance of our business, make operational decisions, and assess our ability to generate cashflows. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with helpful information to better understand the underlying performance trends of our business, facilitate period-to-period comparisons, and assess the company's operating results.

Adjusted EBITDA is derived from net income (loss) from continuing operations and is adjusted for income tax expense, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, accretion of asset retirement obligations, abandonment and impairment of unproved properties, non-cash stock-based compensation, interest expense, net, non-cash loss on adjustment to fair value – embedded derivatives, debt, and warrants, loss on debt issuance, unrealized gain on derivatives, and litigation settlement expense, all as applicable. We adjust net income (loss) from continuing operations for the items listed above to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially between periods and companies within our industry depending upon accounting methods, book values of assets, capital structures, and the method by which assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, including that it excludes certain items that affect our reported financial results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income calculated in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Additionally, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The following table presents the reconciliation of Net income (loss) from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA for the years indicated:

<sup>(2)</sup> Reflects deferred income tax expense.

*PV-10*

PV-10 is a financial measure not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. PV-10 is derived from the Standardized Measure, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for proved reserves. PV-10 is a computation of the Standardized Measure on a pre-tax basis and is equal to the Standardized Measure at the applicable date, before deducting future income taxes discounted at 10%. Neither PV-10 nor Standardized Measure represents an estimate of the fair market value of the applicable crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs properties.

We believe that the presentation of PV-10 is relevant and useful to our investors as a supplemental disclosure to the Standardized Measure, or after-tax amount, because it presents the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our reserves before considering future corporate income taxes and our current tax structure. While the standardized measure is dependent on the unique tax situation of each company, PV-10 is based on prices and discount factors that are consistent for all companies. PV-10 has limitations as a financial measure since it excludes future income taxes and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, Standardized Measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The following table presents the reconciliation of the Standardized Measure to the PV-10 of our estimated proved reserves for the years indicated:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|

These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding future financial performance, business strategies, expansion plans, future results of operations, estimated revenues, losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management. These forward-looking statements are based on our management's current expectations, estimates, projections and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events, and are not guarantees of performance. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, words such as "may," "should," "could," "would," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "continue," "project" or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

These risks are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Current Report on Form 8-K could include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors nor can we assess the effects of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements. Our Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), filings are available publicly on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this Current Report on Form 8-K are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
