## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Vermilion Energy Inc. Reports Strong Q1 2026 Production and Advances Portfolio Repositioning with Germany Strategic Acquisition, Award of New Land Concessions and Croatia SA-07 Divestment**

CALGARY, AB, April 7, 2026 /CNW/ - Vermilion Energy Inc. ("Vermilion", "We", "Our", or the "Company") (TSX: VET) (NYSE: VET) announces strong first quarter 2026 production, an asset acquisition and award of new land concessions in Germany, and the divestment of a non-producing asset in Croatia.

**Operations Update**

Q1 2026 production averaged approximately 125,000 boe/d, exceeding the top end of our quarterly guidance range of 122,000 to 124,000 boe/d. Production was comprised of approximately 59% Canadian gas, 13% European gas and 28% liquids. This strong production result is driven by outperformance in both the Deep Basin and Montney, robust production from the Osterheide well in Germany, and new Montney wells brought online sooner than anticipated, partially offset by lower volumes in Australia due to cyclone-related downtime.

European gas production in Q1 2026 realized an average sales price of approximately $16/MMBtu, reflecting significantly higher day-ahead gas prices during March 2026 amid heightened geopolitical developments in the Middle East. We remain on track to bring on new production from the first Wisselshorst well in Germany by mid-year, spud the next Netherlands well in the second half of 2026, and spud follow-up Germany Wisselshorst wells on the Bommelsen license in early 2027.

In Australia, production operations at Wandoo safely resumed in mid-March 2026 following downtime related to Cyclone Mitchell in February 2026. The facility was subsequently shut-in due to Cyclone Narelle in late March 2026. We are currently assessing the impact of this most recent event and expect to restore production in early Q2 2026. Average production in Australia during the quarter was approximately 1,000 bbl/d, and we exported approximately 300,000 barrels of oil in February 2026.

**Portfolio Repositioning**

In March 2026, we signed agreements to acquire certain producing assets in Germany from BEB Erdgas und Erdöl GmbH & Co. KG ("BEB") and Mobil Erdgas-Erdöl GmbH ("MEEG") in Germany, which are currently producing approximately 1,000 boe/d of low decline production (85% natural gas) with an effective date of January 1, 2025.

The acquisition increases Vermilion's European TTF-linked gas and Brent-linked oil production, enhances associated excess free cash flow<sup>(1)</sup>, and provides strategic value through increased control over gathering infrastructure surrounding our Osterheide well. The assets are adjacent to our existing operations and offer future European natural gas development upside. The acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2026.

During Q1 2026, Vermilion successfully added three concessions in the North German Basin that offer potential upside for our deep gas exploration program. These new concessions are located adjacent to existing Vermilion acreage in Germany and double Vermilion's acreage in the country to well over 1 million net acres.

Also in March 2026, we signed an agreement to divest our remaining 60% interest in the SA-07 block in Croatia for net proceeds of approximately €15MM ($24MM). The asset has no production. The proceeds will be primarily used for incremental debt reduction, with the transaction expected to close in the second half of 2026. We continue to produce and generate excess free cash flow from our SA-10 block (100% natural gas) in Croatia.

EFCF is used by management to determine the funding available to return to shareholders after costs attributable to normal business operations.
